Chapter 15 Shameless

This was a pretty good opportunity for little Gilbert, who knew how to edit the film to make it look better.

If this editing is good and successful, it will be much easier to ask for final editing rights for the next film.

He would also like to thank Spielberg for the opportunity to edit alone. If Spielberg hadn't been pulling the tiger's skin, he wouldn't have gotten this opportunity so easily.

It's inappropriate to borrow someone else's name and not call to explain.

And Universal Pictures will definitely report the matter to Spielberg, and Spielberg will have a very bad impression of him by then.

"Hello! Jonathan, this is little Gilbert, is Uncle Steven here?" Little Gilbert dialed the number in Spielberg's office.

"He's here, wait a moment, I'll transfer the call."

"OK, thanks……"

After waiting for a while, Spielberg's voice sounded on the other end of the phone: "Hey, little Gilbert, what do you want from me?"

"Uncle Steven, it's like this..." Little Gilbert recounted the dispute with Paul Collins and the final verdict of Lou Vasseur.

"It turns out that this is the matter. Lu has already told me about it." Spielberg sounded a little happy: "You can take the initiative to talk to me, which means you have not been carried away.

Little Gilbert, although it’s true that you are here for the movie, the most taboo thing in this industry is people who break the rules of the game, do you understand? "

"I understand, I understand, it's all my fault, Uncle Steven." Little Gilbert quickly admitted his mistake.

"Well, I'll contact you, you buy something, go apologize to Paul Collins, and remember, you have to act like one.

I'll let Jonathan go with you, Paul Collins won't dare to embarrass you with him," Spielberg said.

Unexpectedly, for his own sake, Spielberg would actually sell his face to Paul Collins.

Little Gilbert was a little touched: "Thank you, Uncle Steven."

"You're welcome, I'm paying back a favor to your father. Without him, I would have quit the film industry long ago." Spielberg said.

These words made little Gilbert curious about the intersection between his old man and Spielberg in their early years.

It seems that I have to go back and ask the old man another day.

Spielberg added: "As for the editing work, since Universal Pictures has decided that you two will cut one version separately, you might as well use this opportunity to prove your ability.

understand? Little Gilbert..."

Little Gilbert quickly agreed: "I understand. Thank you again, Uncle Steven."

"Well, good, let's do it, young man." Spielberg looked satisfied and hung up the phone.

With Spielberg's support, little Gilbert has nothing to worry about. Of course, such outrageous things will eventually spread and be known to all of Hollywood.

But what does this matter?

Little Gilbert knows deeply that this is a circle that pursues success. As long as you succeed, the wrong things you did before will become the right things.

Once it fails, even decisions that seemed wise before will look foolish.

Although he allowed himself to apologize to Paul Collins, Gilbert Jr. was somewhat reluctant. But this was a task assigned by Spielberg, and little Gilbert carried it out to the letter.

As for face, before he became a big shot in Hollywood, little Gilbert had already thrown his so-called face into the Pacific Ocean.

In this business, you have to be shameless...

Paul Collins opened the door and saw little Gilbert standing at the door carrying a cigar and wine.

Then little Gilbert stuffed the thing directly into his arms, and then bowed at a ninety-degree angle that was even more standard than their Japanese president.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Collins. It was my fault before. Please forgive me for my reckless behavior and the impulsiveness of a young man."

Paul Collins suddenly felt that this world was a bit funny. There was still life and death ahead, and they cursed each other to drown in the water.

Within a few days, he came to apologize.

Paul Chris originally wanted to make a few sarcastic remarks, but when he saw the man standing aside, he immediately took back his words.

He still knew this person, he was director Spielberg's assistant Jonathan.

Send Jonathan, Spielberg's meaning is self-evident.

Paul Collins speculated whether little Gilbert was Spielberg's illegitimate son, so he helped him while accepting little Gilbert's things. "It's okay, little Gilbert, it's all for work, it's normal."

"Yes, Mr. Collins, it's all about work."

The two of them shook hands enthusiastically, as if the previous quarrels didn't exist, and they were particularly harmonious and friendly.

After some false pretense, Paul Collins invited little Gilbert: "Why don't you come in and sit down?"

"No, Mr. Collins, there is still a lot of work to do in the editing room, so I won't disturb you. Goodbye." After saying that, little Gilbert retreated.

Jonathan frowned on the side. Unexpectedly, little Gilbert was not forgiving in the end. It seemed that he was indeed young and energetic!

After coming out, little Gilbert thanked him: "Thank you, Jonathan. If you hadn't come here, I would probably have a fight with Paul Collins."

"You're welcome, I just finished my work." Jonathan thought for a while and said a few more words: "Little Gilbert, words are sometimes the least powerful counterattack.

You have to make real achievements. At that time, no matter what you say, others will not be able to ignore you. "

"I remember, Jonathan, I will treat you to dinner another day, to eat authentic Chinese food..." Little Gilbert said he received it.

After watching Jonathan leave, little Gilbert returned to the apartment and began to think about how to start editing.

After a while, the call came and it was Gwyneth Paltrow.

"I heard that you had a conflict with the editor at Universal Pictures?"

Little Gilbert pretended to be surprised: "You know all this?"

“That’s right,” Gwyneth Paltrow on the other end of the phone said proudly, “I’m not the only one who knows about this, I’m afraid it’s spread throughout Hollywood.

Congratulations, you are a joke, you are arrogant, and you are ignorant of the heaven and earth. There has never been a new director in Hollywood who has received such high attention and negative reviews. "

Little Gilbert said nonchalantly: "There is an old saying in China that says, if you have too many lice on your body, you won't be itchy; if you have too many debts, you won't have to worry.

Anyway, this is it, let them go as they say, as long as the movie is successful, all doubts will disappear. "

"You are very open-minded," Gwyneth Paltrow called, originally wanting to comfort little Gilbert, but she didn't expect that she didn't need to.

"What have you been doing lately?" asked little Gilbert.

"Forget it," Gwyneth Paltrow began to complain: "My father and mother stare at me every day and ask me to take acting classes and exercise. I don't even have the chance to sneak out to find you."

"This is good. It enriches yourself. Maybe after you improve your acting skills, you can win an Oscar in the future." Little Gilbert said with a smile.

If I remember correctly, Gwyneth Paltrow did win the Best Actress in the future with "Sawain", and then she was criticized as the most popular Best Actress in history.

"Let's not talk about it for now. How have you been these past few days without me?" Gwyneth Paltrow asked.

"What else," little Gilbert tilted his head, although Gwyneth Paltrow on the other end of the phone couldn't see him, and said in a teasing tone, "I have a girlfriend."

"What? You have a girlfriend? Who is it? Is she as good-looking as me? Are her legs as long as mine?" Gwyneth Paltrow looked surprised and asked quickly.

"That's not true. It's called Five-Finger Girl." Little Gilbert's answer was very intriguing.

"What is a five-fingered girl?" Gwyneth Paltrow didn't understand at all.

"It's my hand, idiot..." Little Gilbert revealed the mystery.

Gwyneth Paltrow on the other end of the phone was stunned, not expecting this to be the meaning. After a while, she couldn't help laughing and clucking like a hen.

"I didn't expect that you would have such a hard life without me, and you didn't expect to find other women." After Gwyneth Paltrow finished laughing, she said in a mysterious tone: "It's hard to hold it in like this. In this way, I will introduce my good friend to you."

"Good friend? Who is it?"

"You will know when the time comes. My father will come over and I will hang up. Bye..."

"Bye-Bye……"

Little Gilbert hung up the phone, shook his head, and then left Gwyneth Paltrow's best friend behind.

This American girl is really cool. She called him when she had nothing to do, just to ask him if he was lonely. She doesn't care at all about the situation of co-writing the movie!

Not understanding Gwyneth Paltrow's brain circuit, little Gilbert then continued to work.
