"Avengers 4" is probably a pain that many people don't want to mention: Captain America is white-haired and old, removes his shield, Black Widow jumps off a cliff, sacrifices herself, in exchange for gems... But now, Scarlett Johansson and Chris Evans, while their story in the Marvel Universe is over, are about to start a new chapter — they'll star in the love action adventure film Ghosted together. This is after 14 years of 2007's "Nanny's Diary", the two played a couple again.
Speaking of "The Nanny's Diary" 14 years ago, it was the first and only time that the two people played a couple. One is a college graduate who works as a nanny in the rich family of New York's Upper East Side, and the other is a rich and handsome boy from Harvard University.
Counting up, since the first cooperation in 2004 "Super Perfect Score", the two people can be regarded as the most on-screen spark and the closest cooperation in the past 17 years.
When the first cooperation, Scarlett as the lead actor already had the masterpiece of "The Girl with the Pearl Earring", Chris was just a newcomer to the career, and the two people did not cooperate much. However, judging from the fight on the set, the seeds of friendship have been planted.
In 2007's "Nanny Diary", Scarlett was already the hottest actress at that time, whether it was a literary film or a commercial production, she switched between various roles with ease, and at this time Chris had also become a thunderbolt fire in the superhero "Fantastic Four".
After that, the two people can be regarded as formal acquaintances. Within two years, Scarlett signed a contract with Marvel, took over the role of "Black Widow", and prepared to participate in "Iron Man 2"; at the same time, Marvel was also picking the candidate for Captain America. And the reason why Chris took over this role is not unrelated to Scarlett.
"I was already signing at the time because I was under different pressure than Chris. At the time, we didn't know if the audience was buying the black widow character, so I was more like a test of the waters. Unlike Captain America, he had to take on the role and couldn't fail. So I talked to him at the time. ”
In 2012's "Avengers", the two finally teamed up to work together, and once again joined the frame, from lovers to comrades-in-arms, and became the elders of the reunion together. In 2014's "Captain America 2", the story is more focused on the US team and black widow, and the screen spark of the two has further escalated, only one is in the same frame, and the dramatic tension is full. The plot also sets up a kissing bridge between two people pretending to be lovers in order to avoid tracking, which can make a group of fans excited.
But the two of them felt very differently from the ones in front of the screen, Chris said it felt a little awkward because she was like my sister; Scarlett said generously: "Any reason to approach Chris is happy, we've known each other for ten years, we're tired of each other when we're old, so it's like letting the horse come, it's not a big deal." ”
"He's like my brother, a little annoying, but always charming."
In fact, if you watch more of their series of interviews and publicity during the "Reunion", it is not difficult to find that these two people outside the role do have a sense of fascination - either fighting mouths, or smirking, playing games together, and taking spoof photos together. No matter how serious, deep, sad, and painful the plot is, as long as it is cut, it immediately switches to silly brother and sister mode.
In a way, we have to thank Marvel for not bluntly adding a love line between Black Widow and Captain America, chris thinks that not defining it makes them more vivid, "this is closer to life." 」 Not every bond between a man and a woman is rooted in romance. Sometimes movies think too perfectly. ”
Scarlett said: "Chemistry is there, which is very important. They're not in a relationship, it doesn't mean they're not attracted to each other as people themselves... they respect each other professionally, and I don't think there's much room for romance, after all, they're going to save the world. ”
It's about the characters, in fact, they are themselves - they don't need to use love to beautify each other, in fact, many of the beautiful things are not subject to the relationship, such as Chris can surprise Scarlett when she participates in the show, scare her, and make her happy; you can also help Scarlett remove the skirt at the award ceremony, so that she does not accidentally trip.
