Across America, Starting with the Boxing Champion Chapter 478

Chapter 478 Reunion filming begins

"The Help" grossed US$27.47 million at the box office in North America in its third week of release, bringing the cumulative box office to US$96.7 million, and is on track to exceed 100 million US dollars.

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

Despite this, this small-budget film has a global box office of close to 120 million in its three weeks of release. It is undoubtedly a very successful film.

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

In the company, in the coffee room, Bob flipped through the newspaper and said.

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

Harvey glared at Bob across from him with a dark face.

Bob shrugged his round 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 dollar bills, right?"

"Hmph! Just making three movies in a row that are hits doesn't mean anything. Palm Beach Pictures' movies won't always be hits. I bet he will lose money on his next movie."

Harvey said unhappily.

"Will you? The next film will be "Silver Linings Playbook", which also has our investment."

Bob reminded.

"Shut up! I don't want to hear this from you."

Harvey glared at him hard, stood up and left unhappily.

Bob looked at his back, shook his head helplessly, thought for a moment, took out his mobile phone and congratulated Link.

And when Kunas saw the box office data of "The Help", especially when the media predicted that Palm Beach Pictures' profit from this movie would be no less than 100 million US dollars, he was even more angry and gritted his teeth. A while ago, the newspaper said Iwaka is pregnant with Link's child, and now the media reports that Link will earn $100 million.

Link's good news came one after another, which made him feel very unfair. All the good things in the world were given to 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 do this. Lots of help provided.

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

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

In November, Link joined the crew of "Avengers" to film. This movie tells the story of how Nick Fury, the commander of SHIELD, will bring Iron Man, Captain America, The six superheroes Thor, Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye gathered together to form the Avengers to defeat evil forces and ensure the safety of the earth.

Link continues to play Captain America in the film. His salary is 25 million, second only to Robert Downey Jr.'s 30 million, ranking second among the cast and crew.

The main reason is that the "Iron Man" series of movies played by Robert Downey Jr. is the most successful and has greater box office appeal.

In addition, Iron Man is the leading male protagonist in "The Avengers", Captain America is ranked second, and his role is less.

"Hey Link, nice to meet you, I'm your boxing fan and my wife is your biggest fan."

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

"Robert, I am also a fan of your movies. The Iron Man you played is my favorite Marvel movie character."

Link reached out and shook hands with the other person.

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

Black Widow Scarlett Johansson pointed her phone at the two and took a picture.

Mark Ruffalo as the Hulk, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, Tom Hiddleston as the villain Loki, and God Director of SHIELD Samuel Jackson and others all looked over.

Link smiled softly, shook hands with Scarlett and others and said hello.

The first scene was shot of six superheroes gathering to discuss how to deal with Loki and the alien monsters. In addition, the crew also hopes that the protagonists can talk more about the script and characters together, and strive to cooperate more during filming. tacit agreement.

"Hey Link, this is the second time we've met, right?"

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

Scarlett is wearing a black widow's tight leather armor, has red curly hair, a convex figure, and a somewhat charming expression on her face.

Link thought for a moment and realized that this was indeed the second official meeting between the two.

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

However, Scarlett and Ryan Reynolds divorced last year.

At the beginning of the year, Scarlett also started a father-daughter relationship with Oscar-winning actor Sean Penn, who is 24 years older than her. This 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 like the third time. I remember you were there at the premiere of "Inception" last year."

Link said.

"Yes, I think about it, Link, you have a really good memory." Scarlett smiled.

Next, when the two of them were discussing the characters in the script, Scarlett would hold her face up and look at his face without blinking. Her eyes were stringy. She touched Link's calf several times under the table.

"Hey, look over there."

At the other end of the long table, Tom Hiddleston, who plays Loki, bumped into Thor Chris Hemsworth and pointed to the positions of Link and Scarlett in a low voice.

"What are you looking at?"

Hemsworth put down the script and glanced at Link and Scarlett, "What's wrong with them?"

Hiddleston smiled crookedly and whispered: "I bet the two of them will have **** before this movie is finished."

"Do you still 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 of them will become very, very close. friend."

Hawkeye Jeremy Renner chuckled.

"What are you talking about?"

Iron Man Robert Downey Jr. came over and asked.

"Oh, nothing, just talking about the script."

Loki, Thor, and Hawkeye immediately separated, picked up the script, and pretended 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 have **** within ten days. If I lose, I will buy you a drink. Does anyone place a bet?"

Loki, Thor, and Hawkeye looked at each other, laughed, and asked for bets.

Some said a 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 is gentle enough.

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

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

This is also the effect Link wants, lest Black Widow keep coming to harass him during filming, delaying his work, and causing some bad scandals to worsen his bad reputation.

This is the best state now.

It's just that several other leading actors in the crew were confused about the status of the two.

They didn't know what happened between the two in the locker room on the first day.

I thought that there would be sparks between the two of them, a **** man and a **** goddess, during the filming, but except for the first day when they walked away for a long time, the rest of the time their relationship was very distant, like strangers.

Privately, Robert Downey Jr. discussed the reasons with Loki, Thor, and Hawkeye.

Some people think it's a disguise. The two have no relationship on the surface and may have slept together in private.

Some people think that Link is probably not interested in Scarlett.

Some people also think that the two may have conflicts in private, and they should find ways to help them ease their relationship.

"Hey, what are you doing here? We're about to start filming."

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

"I know, come here."

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

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 Captain America doesn't have many scenes. The main thing is that after Captain America wakes up, he is recruited by S.H.I.E.L.D., joins the Avengers, goes to protect the earth, and starts a battle with Loki and the Kirita Warcraft army under Stark Tower. , and finally helped Iron Man successfully repel the alien invaders, close the door to space and time, and the earth survived without any danger.

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

Compared with shooting literary films such as "Midnight in Paris" and "The Fighter", shooting blockbusters such as "Captain America" and "Avengers" will be more boring. During the shooting, most of the actors are tool men, and there is no need to gain weight or lose weight, and they do not need to be in good shape. With my acting skills, I don't have to worry about being manipulated by the director, and there is very little room for free expression.

"Cut!"

"This one passes! Continue to the next one."

Joss Whedon shouted from behind the monitor.

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