China Entertainment 1997.

Chapter 643 Hawkeye is not enough, another Green Arrow?

After the "Avengers" civil war, it has been an hour and a half of the movie, and it is finally ready to start the decisive battle.

Before that, the team needs to carry out certain integration and assembly.

The Hulk fell and disappeared from the flying aircraft carrier because of loss of control.

Thor was attacked by Loki and also drove away the flying aircraft carrier.

There is also Hawkeye, who is still out of control, and may not necessarily play yet.

The entire Avengers Alliance cannot be said to be falling apart, it can also be said to be falling apart.

How can we unite everyone at this time? It's very simple, focus on values ​​+ kill a heavyweight.

Many people wonder why this group of superheroes is called the Avengers. In fact, this revenge refers to retaliation against the enemy, or fighting evil forces for justice. It can be understood as punishing evil and promoting good, and doing justice for the sky.

At the same time, the more intuitive meaning is to avenge the people Loki killed, which is consciously expressed in the movie.

Among them, Coulson and many agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. are the flames of revenge in their hearts.

Coulson is a nice guy, and he has a good relationship with several superheroes, and he is even Captain America's fanboy. His death made everyone silent and sad.

So, Director Fury, who is good at manipulating people's hearts, played a trick, stained Coulson's Captain America card hidden in the bedroom with his blood, and threw it in front of the two most vicious Captain America and Iron Man, Said that he was thinking about them when he was dying, causing the two of them to feel guilty and blame themselves.

On the other side, Hawkeye, who was out of control, couldn't restrain the guilt in his heart, and asked in a low voice.

"Natasha, how many times have I killed..."

"Do not."

The Black Widow didn't want Hawkeye to blame herself too much, she gently cupped his face with both hands, and replied seriously.

"It's not your fault, it's Loki's fault."

Under Black Widow's persuasion, Hawkeye stopped being completely entangled in his faults, and instead focused more on Loki.
The Avengers, who were originally at odds with each other, rarely reached a consensus at this time.

revenge!

Iron Man speculates based on Loki's character that he is likely to have a conquest ceremony in the center of New York, that is, Stark Tower.

Therefore, Iron Man repaired his armor and went to the rescue. Captain America called Hawkeye and Black Widow who were guilty and sad, and grabbed a plane to go there. Thor also sensed Loki's existence and flew to New York.

"Damn it, it's burning."

Seeing Iron Man rushing to New York alone, Thor flying up under the thunderstorm, Captain America, Hawkeye, and Black Widow walking firmly towards the plane, the audience also cheered and cheered.

The Armageddon begins!

Iron Man, who rushed to New York first, had an argument with Loki. Although he played tricks on him, Loki managed to open the space tunnel. Aliens descended on the earth, and the whole New York was in chaos.

Even in Hollywood, such a big scene of alien invasion is rare, and the closest one should be the Battle of Chicago in "Transformers 3".

This movie's ability to hit a box office of over 10 billion in the mainland is not unrelated to the crazy battle between the two gangs of Transformers in Chicago.

For the same reason, when the aliens came and the Avengers confronted the scene, the audience also called it awesome.

I have to say that the material selection of "The Avengers" is extremely clever.

Defending the earth and fighting against invading aliens can give a strong emotional substitution to the audience in any country.

In particular, the six Avengers are all assembled, holding weapons, forming a defensive formation to look at the enemy, and the camera sweeps across the six of them one by one, which makes people feel excited.

"Awesome, awesome."

Li Ruiyang yelled again and again, Yu Hu's face turned red, and even the calm brother beside him couldn't help but feel emotional when he was excited.

"The rhythm is really good. We still have to learn from Hollywood commercial films."

What follows is a dizzying melee.

Black Widow and Captain America should be the least visible, and the more important thing is to take the auxiliary route, one is to rescue the crowd, the other is to find the tunnel switch, and the other four are the real main output.

Iron Man moves flexibly, observing the enemy's situation while bombing indiscriminately.

The Hulk directly toughened the alien behemoth and was very violent.

While Thor hammered the giant beast, he did not forget his younger brother Loki. The two brothers fell in love with each other and killed each other every day.

Hawkeye controls the commanding heights, observes the overall situation, and jointly commands the battlefield with Iron Man. At the same time, he shoots three arrows, crazily clears the soldiers, and rescues other trapped people remotely from time to time.

This is the advantage of team battles. Everyone takes a shot, and it doesn't seem procrastinated at all.

For more than 20 minutes of play, the audience watched it with gusto, hooked it, and there were some jokes mixed in from time to time.

For example, when Loki was chasing and killing the black widow, Hawkeye intercepted the rescue and shot an arrow and was caught by Loki. Loki had a taunting face before he could speak.

The arrow exploded, and a certain god king was blown up and fell from a high altitude, lying on the ground with a disheveled face.

Hawkeye turned around calmly: "Charge some interest first."

As soon as Loki struggled to get up, he bumped into the Hulk. Before he could say a word, he was kicked to the ground with his feet left and right, and then the Hulk threw a taunt.

"God? Hehe."

Although hammering Rocky is very cool, the battle is not optimistic. The Avengers are weak after all, and the continuous alien army gradually makes them powerless.

Captain America was besieged, Iron Man, who lacked energy, was chased and beaten by aliens in an airship, Thor was also set fire to the Hulk, and Hawkeye, who was at the highest point, was also besieged by airship troops, forcing him to take out his sword for close combat.

If this continues, the entire army will be wiped out sooner or later.

At this time, the U.S. officials played the role of the villain every day, preparing to release a nuclear bomb and bombard the battlefield area in New York. Fury tried his best to stop it, but it was too late.

The nuclear bomb was launched. At the critical moment, the black widow got the psychic scepter to close the tunnel. Iron Man proposed a way to send the nuclear bomb into the tunnel to protect New York.

In the end, Iron Man rushed into the tunnel with what little energy he had left.

Seeing that the nuclear bomb was about to explode, Captain America ordered the tunnel to be closed, and the tunnel gradually became smaller.Countless people stared at the sky, expecting Iron Man to rush out at the end, including the audience in front of the screen, who were also heartbroken.

The tunnel was closed, and all the aliens in New York died automatically, just when everyone thought that Iron Man had died and showed grief.

In the sky, a black spot is falling rapidly, it is Iron Man who has no energy, Thor and Hulk stepped forward to save it.

Iron Man, who was already in tatters, teased tiredly: "Great, we won, don't go to work tomorrow, we have a day off, I invite you to eat Turkish barbecue."

Thor glanced at Stark Tower, with a dignified expression: "The battle is not over."

On the rooftop not far away, Black Widow also realized something: "Where did Clint go?"

The five Avengers hurried to Stark Tower, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw the bruised and swollen Loki fell hard in front of them,

Hawkeye from the dark stepped out, with a calm face, and slowly retracted the sword in his hand into the quiver, looking at Thor, expressing without blushing and heartbeat.

"I was a little disobedient when I caught him, sorry."

Thor looked at Loki lying on the ground like a dead dog, and strongly suspected that Hawkeye was taking the opportunity to retaliate before Loki controlled him, but he also understood that Hawkeye didn't kill him because of his face.

The corner of his mouth twitched, and the younger brother touched the hammer, but looking at the vigilant Black Widow and Captain America, he finally answered with difficulty.

"It's okay, thank you."

"Cool!"

The audience who were originally a little upset because of Loki's previous control of Hawkeye felt comfortable seeing this scene. The only regret is that they didn't see how Hawkeye beat Loki with their own eyes.

This is also very normal. With Rocky's intelligent character, if he sees the situation is wrong, he will definitely surrender immediately. If Hawkeye still makes a move, it will be a prisoner torture, which does not conform to the tone of the movie.

It's better to just skip the hints, anyway, I've played them all, and let the audience make up the rest.

At the same time, the more interesting point is that Hawkeye, who is known for his cruelty, does not blush when he speaks nonsense, and is quite black-bellied, which makes the always proud Thor be forced to suffer from dumbness, and the laughter is amazing.

At this point, the movie is almost over, but it just finally explained the fate of the heroes.

Thor brought Loki back to God's Domain, Iron Man and Pepper were in love with each other, Hulk Banner mixed with Iron Man, Captain America went on a trip, Black Widow returned to S.H.I.E.L.D., and Hawkeye bid farewell to Black Widow and went to search for the Holy Land of Kunlun journey.

The Avengers are temporarily disbanded, but when they are needed, they will come from all over to regroup.

The last easter egg of the movie also means that the movie is still going on, a purple alien is eyeing the earth, and the mission of the Avengers is not over yet.

Another easter egg is also quite interesting. After the war, the Avengers eat in a dilapidated barbecue restaurant, tired and mechanical, and the scene is extremely silent.

It is worth mentioning that there is no original script for this segment, because the director felt that Robert Downey Jr.'s line of eating turkey barbecue was on the scene, and the later part was specially re-shooted.

At that time, because Cao Xuan was not in the United States, he couldn't catch up, so he used a substitute. The others were all frontal and sideways, and only Hawkeye turned his back to the audience.

But this easter egg still caused everyone to smile knowingly.

Marvel can be liked by many people because these superheroes have "humanity" in addition to "divinity". They have to eat after saving the earth, and they are too tired to chat.

This kind of down-to-earth is different from most superhero movies and makes the audience feel more cordial.

When Li Ruiyang and Yu Hu left, they still did not forget to discuss "The Avengers", and there are many fans similar to them.

Soon, a large number of film reviews appeared on Mtime.com, and some professional film critics also shared their thoughts on the film on Weibo and other platforms.

【I abused my brother thousands of times, my brother treats me like first love, this Loki and Thor are too good】

[Hawkeye is so handsome, the wheel battle is almost invincible, but it's a pity that there are only Qing soldiers behind him]

[Normal, whitening is weaker by three points, and blackening is ten times stronger. I think the big boss Loki is not as good as Hawkeye]

[Surely not as good, if he is a cow, he won't be hammered by Hawkeye later]

[One thing to say, it's because Loki was hammered by Hawkeye and the Hulk in turn, his state was low, and he was somewhat invincible, but with the combat power shown by Hawkeye, without the spiritual scepter, he really can't say Can win Hawkeye]

[Locky is really miserable. Being cheated by the Black Widow, shot by Hawkeye, beaten by the Hulk, and bounced by the US team, it is simply a history of blood and tears]

[What's worse is New York, I don't even know that this is the first time New York has been attacked by aliens, foreign countries are really not safe (dog head)]

[Perfect popcorn movie, with vivid characters, good memes, fast-paced plot, and absolutely shocking special effects and audio-visual effects]

[Before I thought the box office of "Eagle Eye" was a bit overestimated, a large part of it was because of Cao Xuan's acquaintance, but "Avengers" is really worth the price, the superhero battle, and the special effects alone will pay back]

[The front is a bit lengthy, it only got better after Hawkeye’s sneak attack, maybe it’s better to delete some unnecessary plots, three stars]

[Aliens are too ugly, bad review]

[The group portrait scene was better than I expected. I thought it was a hodgepodge, but it does have a clear division of labor and distinctive features. I declare that Hawkeye is more handsome than Iron Man, but the latter is funnier]

【…】

The next day, "The Avengers" scored 8.4 on Mtime.com, which is quite good for a popcorn movie.

And the score in North America is not low, with an IMDB score of 8.1 and a Rotten Tomatoes freshness of 89%, which is almost the best-known Marvel movie after "Iron Man".

The film was launched on Friday in North America, plus Saturday and Sunday, the total box office of the three-day weekend was as high as 2.1 million US dollars, directly sweeping the entire summer schedule in North America.

During the same period, "Men in Black 3", "Madagascar 3" and "Brave" were overwhelmed.

But that's actually not bad. The box office data of more movies in the same period in May is terrible. Even many well-produced movies may not have a box office of over [-] million.

The total North American box office of "The Avengers" reached 2.8 million U.S. dollars in the first week, and the box office continued to be strong in the second weekend, hitting 1.1 million U.S. dollars.

Ten days after its release, the North American domestic box office of "The Avengers" reached 3.9 million US dollars.

Prior to this, the North American box office of "The Hunger Games", the highest-grossing movie this year, was only US$4.08 million.

"USA Today" directly asserted: "There is no need to fight for the North American box office champion this year. Whether it is "007" or "Batman", it is impossible to beat "The Avengers". This is a group victory."

"The New York Times" also stated: "Marvel used an invincible luxury lineup, gathered several big stars and superheroes, and achieved the unprecedented success they expected."

The reporter of "Washington Post" clamored wildly: "Salute to Marvel, and pay tribute to Robert Downey Jr., Cao, Scarlett, Hemsworth and others who are about to reach the pinnacle of their careers.

Starting today, Hollywood will have several more top superstars and big names with tens of millions of dollars in salary. "

The "Los Angeles Times" is secretly provoking: "Facts have proved that Marvel is on the right path. I don't know if this has made Warner reflect. DC can't just rely on Nolan and Batman."

American Radio and Television Stations set their sights overseas. They invited Bob, a well-known industry producer, to conduct an exclusive interview on "The Avengers".

.........

Bob has served as an executive of Universal and Sony, and has participated in the production and distribution of the "Fast and Furious" and "2012" series, and even the initial distribution work of "Iron Man", he was also one of the parties involved.

At present, Bob has left a big company and become an independent producer, but the contacts and capital he has accumulated over the years make him still a figure in Hollywood.

Bob was an expert when it came to international distribution, which is why ABC approached him.

Bob lived up to his expectations, and analyzed the global box office trend of "The Avengers" with the beautiful host.

"At present, "The Avengers" has been released for half a month, and there are already certain data support around the world."

"In North America, the total box office of "The Avengers" movie has approached 5 million U.S. dollars. According to industry statistics, the final North American total box office is about 6.5 million U.S. dollars, with a minimum of 6.2 million and a maximum of 6.8 million.

You know, last year's North American box office champion "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" only had a box office of 3.8 million US dollars.

而2010年的《阿凡达》是7.6亿美元，这已经是历年最高的年度票房冠军，2009年冠军《变形金刚2》北美票房仅4.02亿，2008年是《蝙蝠侠：黑暗骑士》5.34亿美元。

The data of "The Avengers" ranks second in the entire North American film history. I don't think other movies this year have a chance to surpass it.

No matter how powerful Batman and Nolan are, they cannot defeat Hawkeye, Iron Man and the entire Avengers..."

Bob's words are almost the views of most Hollywood practitioners and the media.

The advantages of "The Avengers" are so great that unless there is a phenomenon-level work like "Avatar" that is rarely seen in ten years, it will be difficult to surpass.

More importantly, "The Avengers" was released first, and almost emptied many passers-by tickets.

If you are not a movie fan or a movie lover, you will not often go to the theater to watch movies. You may only watch one or two movies in a summer vacation.

Their budget is limited, and they contributed the ticket money to "The Avengers", and it is difficult for them to pay for other movies.

Under such circumstances, even if movies such as "Batman" perform well and lose their first-mover advantage, it will add countless obstacles for them to catch up.

Therefore, in many people's minds, there is no need to discuss the 2012 North American annual box office champion.

Now people like Bob and others are focusing more on the global box office of "The Avengers".

"The explosion of "Iron Man" and "Hawkeye" has proved that Marvel's global strategy is on the right track, especially "Hawkeye", regardless of revenue, is definitely Marvel's most influential brand in the world. Movies, of course, now The Avengers is better."

Bob talked about the international distribution business, and talked about Cao Xuan in particular.

"In my opinion, inviting Cao to join is definitely a wonderful flag for Marvel. The success of "Eagle Eye" has proved the appeal of this Chinese superstar in the world, especially in Asia.

I think my old club Universal is regretting it now. If he had won him, the data of "Fast and Furious" would be even better. "

"Has "Fast and Furious" contacted Cao?"

The beautiful host asked impulsively, Bob hesitated for a moment, but chose to break the news.

"As early as 2006, when "Fast and Furious 3" was filming in Tokyo, Universal approached Cao Xuan, but at that time Cao refused for some reasons."

"What's the reason?"

The beautiful host fluttered her long eyelashes, and she asked eagerly, but Bob didn't answer directly.

"I was not in charge of this work at the time, and I don't know the specific reasons, but it should be due to differences in roles and remuneration, coupled with Cao's limited schedule, and ultimately no cooperation was reached."

The reality is very simple. At that time, "Fast and Furious 3" wanted Cao Xuan to play the villain, and the salary was very low. Cao Xuan didn't like the role, so he refused.

At that time, he hadn't started in Hollywood, and he had already brought his own Asian market outside Japan, so "Fast and Furious 3" didn't have too much entanglement.

The real contact between the two parties should be "Fast and Furious 5" released last year.

At that time, neither "Eagle Eye" nor "Now You See Me" were released, Universal offered a salary of 1000 million US dollars, and created a role for Cao Xuan, which was probably second only to Vin Diesel.

Sincerity is actually not bad, but Cao Xuan was busy with Marvel filming at the time, and the schedule was not enough, so he was pushed.

At the time, Universal didn't think anything of it, at most it was a pity, but after "Now You See Me", "Eagle Eye" and other movies became popular, Universal didn't regret it, but it also turned green.

Now if "The Fast and the Furious" wants to invite Cao Xuan again, let's not say whether he should or not, and the key film salary is less than 2000 million US dollars.

And besides the salary, Cao Xuan's status is also a problem, he may not be willing to be lower than Vin Diesel, and if he takes the role, he will put those meritorious actors where.

The most important thing is that this group of people has not yet received 2000 million US dollars in salary.

Before the explosion of "Fast and Furious 5", the global box office of this movie was not that scary, basically fluctuating between 2 and 3.5 million US dollars, so the salaries of the leading actors are not particularly exaggerated, and the most Vin Diesel is only 1000~ $1500 million.

If Cao Xuan takes 2000 million US dollars, I am afraid that many people will be fried. If the salary is all increased, the cost will be uncontrollable.

So from the moment Cao Xuan climbed to the top, most of his relationship with the "Fast and Furious" series was cut off.

Bob also understood this, and instead of talking too much about it, he diverted the topic to other areas.

"Look at the box office of "The Avengers" in Asia. In just two weeks, China's box office is as high as 1.2 million U.S. dollars, South Korea and Japan are almost 4000 million U.S. dollars, Singapore and the Philippines are 1200 million, India is 800 million, and Malaysia is 400 million. million, Thailand and the UAE 300 million……

Just now, the total box office in Asia has exceeded 2.5 million U.S. dollars, and it is expected that the total box office in Asia will reach 3.5 to 4 million U.S. dollars.

You know what the concept is, nearly double the projected gross of Europe's The Avengers.

At the same time, the box office data of this scale also means that Marvel has the unparalleled influence of "Harry Potter" and "Transformers" in Asia.

If it can maintain its continuous influence in Asia, then Marvel will get a huge market of at least tens of billions of dollars.

Of course, we must also admit that Marvel has a certain popularity base in Asia, but obviously, without Cao's joining, the success of "The Avengers" in Asia would never be so brilliant.

That's why I said that Marvel made a wonderful move. It is no exaggeration to say that now all Hollywood companies are studying Cao, and this Chinese superstar has become a favorite.

I'm even looking forward to whether DC will attack Cao. As far as I know, Warner and Cao have a very close relationship and they have cooperated many times.

If possible, I hope that Cao and Marvel don't sign a non-compete contract, then we will see Hawkeye become another DC superhero, appearing in the Justice League..."

Bob's appearance of watching the excitement and not thinking it's a big deal appeared on the hot searches in the United States. Many people expressed their opposition, but there were also many people who heatedly discussed which DC hero Cao Xuan would be suitable for.

Superman and Batman are enough, but the Flash is not bad. Anyway, there have been several generations. It is hard to say that there cannot be a Chinese.

However, the most supporters are Green Arrow, they think Cao Xuan is very handsome in archery, playing the role of Green Arrow is definitely his true colors.

At that time, they will be able to see for the first time that Green Arrow and Hawkeye, the two great archers of the universe, are the same person...

　I'm guilty
