Conquer America, Start with a Boxing Champion

The Help earned $27.47 million in North America in its third week of release, with a cumulative box office of $96.7 million, and a break of $100 million is just around the corner.

The only regret is that due to the subject matter, the film's overseas box office performance is average. It was released in 21 countries including the UK, France, Germany and Italy, and the cumulative box office in three weeks was only $21.42 million.

Despite this, this low-budget movie has a global box office of nearly $120 million in three weeks, which is undoubtedly a very successful movie.

"Harvey, Link's movie is successful again. The media predicts that Palm Beach Pictures can make at least $100 million this time, and Lionsgate can also make tens of millions, which is more than the co-produced Bridesmaids."

In the company, in the coffee room, Bob said while flipping through the newspaper.

"Shut up! Don't talk while reading the newspaper."

Harvey glared at Bob opposite him with a dark face.

Bob shrugged his fat shoulders, "I mean we should strengthen our cooperation with Link and make a lot of money together. Even if you hate him, you don't hate US dollars, right?"

"Humph! Just shooting three movies in a row and selling well is nothing. Palm Beach Pictures' movies won't always sell well. I bet his next movie will lose money."

Harvey said unhappily.

"Will it? The next one is "Happiness Playing a Dark Cloud", which also has our investment."

Bob reminded.

"Shut up! I don't want to hear you say that."

Harvey glared at him heavily, got up and left unhappily.

Bob looked at his back, shook his head helplessly, thought for a while, took out his mobile phone to congratulate Link.

When little Kunas saw the box office data of "The Help", especially when he saw the media predicting that Palm Beach Pictures' profit on this movie would not be less than 100 million US dollars, he was even more angry. A while ago, the newspaper said that Eva Ka was pregnant with Link's child, and now the media reported that Link would make 100 million US dollars.

Link received good news one after another, which made him feel very unfair. All the good things in the world were taken by Link alone.

Little Kunas looked at Link's photo in the newspaper, picked up the phone and called Harvey, hoping to discuss with him how to deal with Link. Link liked female stars, and Harvey knew many female stars, so he should be able to provide a lot of help in this regard.

Unfortunately, for some reason, Harvey hung up the phone as soon as the call was connected.

He thought he should find a time to go to Los Angeles to meet with Harvey.

——

In November, Link joined the crew of "Avengers". This movie tells the story of when the earth faces the threat of powerful evil forces, SHIELD commander Nick Fury brings together six superheroes including Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye to form the Avengers to defeat evil forces and ensure the safety of the earth.

Link continued to play Captain America in the film. His salary was 25 million, second only to Robert Downey Jr.'s 30 million, ranking second among the actors in the crew.

The main reason is that the Iron Man series, played by Robert Downey Jr., is the most successful and has more box office appeal.

In addition, Iron Man is the first male lead in The Avengers, and Captain America is second, with fewer roles.

"Hey, Link, nice to meet you, I'm a fan of your boxing, and my wife is a die-hard fan of your music."

Robert Downey Jr. greeted enthusiastically when they met for the first time on the set.

"Robert, I'm also a fan of yours, and the Iron Man you play is my favorite Marvel movie character."

Link stretched out his hand and shook hands with the other party.

"Hey, Iron Man and Captain America shook hands for the first time, doesn't anyone want to take a picture?"

Black Widow Scarlett Johansson took a photo of the two with her mobile phone.

Mark Ruffalo, who plays the Hulk, Chris Hemsworth, who plays Thor, Jeremy Renner, who plays Hawkeye, Tom Hiddleston, who plays the villain Loki, and Samuel Jackson, director of S.H.I.E.L.D., all looked over.

Link smiled gently, and shook hands with Scarlett and the others.

The first scene was shot with six superheroes gathering to discuss how to deal with Loki and the alien monsters. In addition, the crew also hoped that the leading actors could talk more about the script and roles together, and strive to cooperate more tacitly during the filming.

"Hey, Link, this is our second meeting, right?"

After Link sat down, Scarlett Johansson sat directly opposite him, looked at him with a smile and asked.

Scarlett was wearing the tight leather armor of the Black Widow, with red curly hair, a curvy figure, and a charming expression on her face.

Link thought about it, and it was indeed the second time the two met officially.

The last time they met was in 2009, in a cafe in New York, he was discussing the new movie "Midnight in Paris" with director Woody Allen, and Scarlett Johansson and her husband Ryan Reynolds came to say hello.

However, Scarlett and Ryan Reynolds had divorced last year.

At the beginning of the year, Scarlett had a "father-daughter relationship" with Oscar-winning actor Sean Penn, who was 24 years older than her. The relationship lasted for about three months. It is said that the reason for the breakup was that Scarlett did not want to have children.

"It seems to be the third time. I remember you were also at the premiere of "Inception" last year."

Link said.

"Yes, I remember, Link, you have a good memory."

Scarlett smiled.

When the two discussed the script and roles, Scarlett would also hold her face up and look at his face without blinking. Her eyes could be drawn. Under the table, Link's calves were touched by her several times.

"Hey, look over there."

At the other end of the long table, Tom Hiddleston, who plays Loki, bumped into Chris Hemsworth, the God of Thunder, and pointed at the position of Link and Scarlett in a low voice.

"What are you looking at?"

Hemsworth put down the script and glanced at Link and Scarlett, "Do they have any problems?"

Hiddleston smiled with a crooked corner of his mouth and whispered, "I bet they will go to bed before the filming of this movie is finished."

"Do you need to bet on this kind of thing? Look at the way Scarlett looks at Link, she can almost stick to him. I dare say that in less than ten days, no, a week, the two will become very, very close friends."

Hawkeye Jeremy Renner chuckled.

"What are you talking about?"

Iron Man Robert Downey Jr. came over and asked.

"Oh, nothing, talking about the script."

Loki, Thor, and Hawkeye separated immediately and picked up the script to pretend to discuss it.

Robert Downey Jr. also looked at Link and Scarlett, and suddenly lowered his voice and said to Loki: "I bet that the two of them will go to bed within ten days. If you lose, I will buy you a drink. Is there anyone who wants to place a bet?"

Loki, Thor, and Hawkeye looked at each other, laughed, and asked to place a bet.

Some said one month, some said two weeks, and Loki predicted three days.

In fact, they all guessed wrong. After the first day of filming, when Link was changing clothes in the dressing room, Scarlett slipped in.

Although he was gentle enough.

But Scarlett Johansson still took five days of sick leave afterwards.

She returned to the crew a week after the crew started filming, but Scarlett didn't dare to pester him like she did on the first day. When she looked at him, she had fear and horror in her eyes, as well as some inexplicable obsession and admiration. Sometimes she would secretly look at him, but she didn't dare to get close.

This was also the effect Link wanted, so that Black Widow wouldn't keep harassing him during filming, delaying his work, and spreading some bad rumors, making his bad reputation worse.

This state is the best now.

It’s just that the other leading actors in the crew are confused about the state of the two.

They don’t know what happened between the two in the dressing room on the first day.

I thought that the two, a sexy male god and a sexy goddess, would have sparks during the filming, but except for the first day when the two walked for a long time, the relationship between the two was very distant, like strangers.

Robert Downey Jr. discussed the reason with Loki, Thor, and Hawkeye in private.

Some thought it was a disguise, and the two had no relationship on the surface, and it is possible that they have slept together in private.

Some thought that Link was probably not interested in Scarlett.

Some people also thought that the two might have conflicts in private, and they should find a way to help them ease the relationship.

“Hey, what are you doing here, it’s almost time to shoot.”

In the studio, Link, wearing a Captain America suit and carrying Captain America’s shield, strode over. He was tall and straight, with solid muscles, and his handsome face made several people secretly envious.

“I know, I’ll come over now.”

Several people also picked up their weapons and walked into the set to start filming.

Since this movie has many big scenes and special effects, most of the scenes were completed in studios in Los Angeles and New York.

Link's role as Captain America is not much. It is mainly that after Captain America wakes up, he is recruited by S.H.I.E.L.D. to join the Avengers to protect the earth. He fights Loki and the Chita Warcraft army under the Stark Building, and finally helps Iron Man successfully repel the alien invaders and close the time and space gate. The earth survives again without any danger.

In addition, in order to prevent him from getting injured during the action scenes, the crew arranged three stand-ins for him, and the insurance company staff also supervised him at every scene to prevent him from making any risky actions.

Compared with filming literary films such as "Midnight in Paris" and "The Fighter", filming blockbusters such as "Captain America" ​​and "Avengers" is more boring. During the filming, most of the actors are tools. They don't need to gain weight or lose weight, don't need too good acting skills, don't have to worry about being tossed by the director, and there is little room for free play.

"Cut!"

"This one is passed! Continue to the next one."

Joss Whedon shouted behind the monitor.

Link, Iron Man and Black Widow stood back to back on the street, looking up at the "monsters" pouring in from all directions, ready to start the next battle.
