Chapter 17 Weird
  After a day's work, little Gilbert returned to his apartment to rest.

The film is almost finished, and it's time to test the results. Little Gilbert is still a little nervous at this time.

When he arrived at the door of his apartment, little Gilbert found a girl with short dark brown hair, wearing a leather jacket and skirt, and high boots waiting for him at the door of the apartment.

The girl saw little Gilbert and took the initiative to greet him: "Five-fingered girl?"

"Uh," it seems that little Gilbert said this only to Paltrow.

"You must be Gwen's friend." Little Gilbert said.

"Gwen? You are quite close. Let me meet you. My name is Verona Ryder." The girl stretched out her hand and shook little Gilbert's hand.

"I know you. You acted in "Edward Scissorhands" last year, with Johnny Depp." Little Gilbert said why he looked so familiar, it turned out to be this woman.

Verona Ryder waved her hand and said: "Don't mention him to me, we broke up."

"Ah?" Little Gilbert was even more surprised: "Have you talked to Johnny Depp?"

"That's all in the past. Why don't you invite me in?" Verona Ryder tilted her head and gestured.

"Oh, okay, okay." Little Gilbert quickly opened the door: "Please come in, sit down wherever you want, what would you like to drink?"

It seemed to be nothing, little Gilbert casually brought Verona Ryder a bottle of Coke.

After Verona Ryder came in, she looked at the one-bedroom apartment. It was a bit messy and it didn't look like it was tidied up often.

"This is where you do yoga with Gwen?" Verona Ryder rummaged through the bedside table and found a condom.

"She even told you this!" Little Gilbert was stunned.

"Look at you like that," Verona Ryder said as if you didn't know anything about it: "We talked about all kinds of topics, and she even discussed your abilities and size with me!"

"Pfft..." Little Gilbert happened to be drinking water. Hearing these words, the water spurted out of his mouth without stopping.

what is this? American bestie?
  Verona Ryder continued: "I don't believe that you are so good at yoga. I think Gwen is bragging."

Until now, little Gilbert didn't know what Gwyneth Paltrow meant, and that was it.

"Hey, can you take the initiative and take off your clothes quickly?"

"Ah good……"

So, naturally, little Gilbert and Verona Ryder did a set of yoga together until they were dripping with sweat.

After exercising, the two of them lay on the bed. Verona Ryder took out a cigarette and started puffing on it, and handed it to little Gilbert to smoke together.

But little Gilbert refused. He didn't smoke in his last life, and he doesn't smoke now either.

"You are really a weirdo," Verona Ryder glanced at little Gilbert and drew circles on little Gilbert's strong chest muscles with her fingers.

"I finally know why Gwen is reluctant to leave you. You are indeed very strong and very popular with women like your father." Verona Ryder added.

"Do you know about my father?" Little Gilbert asked curiously.

Winona Ryder explained: "I heard some talk about it."

Little Gilbert was speechless. It seemed that the old man's romantic history in his youth was widely circulated in Hollywood.

The old man himself often boasted that he had a one-night stand with the legendary Hollywood actress Marilyn Monroe and dated Audrey Hepburn.

I don’t know if it’s true or not, but it’s true that I’m popular with women.

The old man is sixty-six this year, and he can still find bar girls to look cool. He is indeed very capable.

"Okay, it's time for me to go. Thank you for giving me such a pleasant night." Verona Ryder stood up and got dressed.

"Leaving now? Aren't you staying here for the night?" Little Gilbert asked.

"I'm not Gwen. If my agent finds out that I stay at another man's house at night, I'll probably be scolded." Verona Ryder kissed little Gilbert gently on the lips.

"I will come to you at any time, strong man, bye..." After saying that, Winona Ryder floated away, leaving behind bursts of fragrant wind for little Gilbert to remember.

Perhaps because the agent was too careful, little Gilbert didn't see Verona Ryder in the next few days. Instead, Gwyneth Paltrow called and asked little Gilbert how he was feeling.

"Is this why you called?" Little Gilbert said he couldn't understand.

"If not for this, what else could it be for?"

"No, our movie is almost finished, don't you care?"

Gwyneth Paltrow then remembered: "Oh, it turns out we also made a movie.

I recently took an acting class and everyone was stunned.

By the way, how was the movie? "

"It's almost done. It's almost done. You can see the movie soon." Little Gilbert replied.

Gwyneth Paltrow was happy: "That's great. You must call me during the promotion. I have wanted to go out to play for a long time, and now I have a chance."

Little Gilbert was speechless. It seemed that Gwyneth Paltrow didn't care whether the movie was successful or not.

Yes, she is Spielberg's goddaughter. She starred in "Captain Hook" in her debut film, and directly played the heroine in the second film "Shark Beach".

Even if the movie "Shark Tank" fails, it will not affect Gwyneth Paltrow's resources in Hollywood.

Little Gilbert, on the other hand, had to be on tenterhooks, praying to God, Buddha, Allah, and all kinds of things to make "Shark Beach" a success.

If it fails, little Gilbert will have to wait a long, long time before he has the opportunity to continue directing movies.

Things like that between men and women can only be used as a tonic, not to mention that when you are stressed, releasing it like this is really a relief.

No wonder many people in Hollywood are keen on relationships, all kinds of relationships, regardless of gender.

But having said that, compared to others, little Gilbert is simply a lotus flower in the mud, pure enough.

They not only engage in relationships, they also engage in drugs, marijuana, and drugs.

Compared with all kinds of relationships, these are the things that little Gilbert wants to stay away from.

Putting all the miscellaneous things aside, the film is the foundation. After various twists and turns, the film "Shark Beach" finally completed all post-production.

There are now two versions of Sharknado for Universal Pictures to choose from.

After seeing Little Gilbert's version, Thomas Blake strongly recommended Little Gilbert's edit of "Shark Beach" to his executives.

This made Universal Pictures curious about what kind of editing an experienced producer like Dormer Blake would highly recommend.

Although Dormer Blake's opinion was not adopted, it must be said that it was also because of his recommendation that Universal Pictures executives were curious about the version edited by Gilbert Jr.

To a certain extent, this made up for the shortcomings of Gilbert Jr., allowing Universal Pictures executives to judge the two different edited versions of the movie from a relatively objective and impartial perspective.

An internal test screening was soon announced. This internal test screening included not only Universal Pictures President Akio Tanii and Vice President Lew Wasser, but also executives from the distribution department, marketing department, publicity and other departments.

In addition, film selection experts from Universal Pictures will also participate in preview screenings to provide advice to senior management.

In addition, Spielberg also sent Frank Marshall. He had never seen the finished film and was curious about what little Gilbert was doing.

But because of my busy work schedule, I didn't have time to come to the preview, so I asked Frank Marshall to come over and take a look and give him feedback.

Little Gilbert was sitting in the corner, looking at the senior executives of Universal Pictures. He recognized the Japanese president at a glance, and Lou Vasseur had also seen him, but he didn't recognize the others.

On this occasion, he was a minor character.

But what is about to happen today will determine his fate.

So, he was very nervous...
