Chapter 95 Squids

Little Gilbert would bite his head even if he was slightly stimulated. His husky-like personality also caused headaches for countless competitors.

No one can be sure where little Gilbert’s bottom line is without blowing up.

If he is offended, there will be another TV debate contest, or something else. Little Gilbert is not afraid, but other people are terrible to death.

Being in Hollywood, apart from the benefits inside, it’s not all about the glamor on the outside!

As a director, you rely on your work to speak for yourself, but not those star actors. Public image is very important.

Pat Kinliss has warned arrogant Tom Cruise not to get into a fight with little Gilbert.

In addition, she has persuaded Martin Bob to change the schedule of "Interview with the Vampire" so that it will not interfere with the new work of Gilbert Jr.

I was really frightened by little Gilbert, and I was afraid that little Gilbert would not act according to common sense.

You don't have many tricks for such an elusive character.

In fact, in the past, many Hollywood companies and media would naturally join forces to deal with such out-of-touch characters.

But little Gilbert is different. He is a squid himself. Those squids who control media groups rarely attack their own people.

Moreover, little Gilbert was very smart to win over the two giants Warner and Disney. With the protection of the two giants, he was not afraid at all.

There is no doubt that the two giants will protect little Gilbert before he loses his value.

In Hollywood, we are not afraid that you will be crazy. If you break away, we are afraid that you will still be crazy if you don’t have the ability.

In other words, little Gilbert, who has just experienced a public opinion storm, is not as unlucky as the animal protection organizations and CAA, but is living a very prosperous life.

Of course, he also knew how to act appropriately. He didn't jump out again after that, but kept filming honestly.

Once the goal is achieved, it’s time to keep a low profile.

At Warner Bros. Studios, the controversy has finally calmed down, and the crew of "Iron Fist" is working hard on filming.

Cheng Long's role was very small, only a few minutes. After filming, he had already returned to Hong Kong to film "Drunken Master 2".

And the role of the rich second generation played by Charlize Theron has just begun.

"Ka! Sally, there is no arrogance in your expression. You look like a maid, not a wealthy lady.

Show your arrogant attitude..." Little Gilbert shouted with a loudspeaker.

Charlize Theron was submissive in the middle of the set. This scene was filmed four or five times. The whole crew was looking at her, which made her very nervous.

The more nervous you are, the worse your performance will be, forming a vicious cycle.

Little Gilbert frowned and held back from scolding. Scolding at this time would make Charlize Theron's performance even worse.

He left the monitor, walked to the set, took the script, and patiently explained the scene to Charlize Theron.

Charlize Theron was a little moved when she saw little Gilbert squatting down and telling her a play.

She came to Los Angeles and went to other crews to film, but those directors either wanted to fall in love with her or were impatient. If she didn't perform well, they would start yelling.

How can he be like little Gilbert, so gentle and gentleman...

Bruce Willis looked at little Gilbert talking about the drama in a gentle voice, and complained to Dr. Dre next to him: "Oh! When I was not good at acting, I never saw little Gilbert so gentle."

Dr. Dre wrote several songs for the film, including the theme song.

Considering that the film must have a black character, Gilbert Jr. didn't bother with the two leads and simply let Dr. Dre star.

Dr. Dre's complaint hit the nail on the head: "Bruce, that's because you're not a beauty."

Sofia Coppola also nodded in agreement: "Indeed, our little director Gilbert has always been very patient with beautiful women, but his patience with non-beautiful women is limited."

Her own feelings are obvious. Little Gilbert is gentle to Naomi Watts and Charlize Theron, but he is very rude to her.

Sofia Coppola has long wanted to punch little Gilbert's head off, but unfortunately, she still needs this job, so she doesn't dare.

After talking about the scene, and after Charlize Theron expressed his understanding, Little Gilbert announced that filming would start again.

After relieving the psychological pressure this time, Charlize Theron's performance was much better.

Charlize Theron has never attended a professional acting school, and her previous acting training classes were not very effective. She only made little progress during the filming of "Iron Fist".

After all, she is a future Oscar-winning actress. As long as she is willing to work hard, she still has talent and the acting effect is pretty good.

Back at the hotel in the evening, little Gilbert had a meeting with the crew bosses to discuss tomorrow's shooting plan, and then returned to the room.

But when he got to the room, he couldn't rest and continued to work.

Because they are optimistic about the potential of this film in peripherals, Disney and Warner have already planned to produce peripheral products.

By then, unique robots including Adam, Zeus, Twin Cities Warriors, etc. will all be made into peripheral products.

"Star Wars" peripherals are selling so well, and Disney's animation peripherals are also hugely profitable. Of course, the film company will not miss every opportunity to earn dollars.

Although Gilbert Jr.'s Melon Studio is an investor in the film, it holds one-eighth of the investment share.

However, it is difficult for Melon Studio to break into the peripheral market, and it can only get short-term peripheral income at most. This is considered a conscience of Disney and Warner.

Those plots in online novels where the protagonist relies on the script as soon as he comes up, and then grabs the copyright and participates in the peripheral sharing to earn the maximum profit, it is impossible to happen in Hollywood.

Unless the protagonist has a distinguished background, he is either the boss of a large media group with his own channels and resources, or he is the emperor of the earth.

Otherwise, why would a director's studio think that a film company would open copyrights and peripheral markets to you in a field that even the vampires of Wall Street can't penetrate? Just based on your 'talent'?

Hollywood has produced countless talented filmmakers, so talented people who play according to the rules will be sought after, but once they break the rules, they will be boycotted.

No matter how talented you are, if you don’t have resources, channels, or money, it’s impossible to get an opportunity.

Little Gilbert believes that such a person who wants to fly before he has established a foothold is unlikely to succeed in Hollywood, even if he is born again.

Because before he could wait for what the reborn people called a good time, he was already shot dead on the beach.

Over the years, after two or three years of hard work, little Gilbert has established a firm foothold in Hollywood.

As long as the movie does well and sells well at the box office, I believe the movie company will soon have to make greater concessions. Little Gilbert has passed the age of impulsiveness. Taking this route is safer than breaking the rules and shouting and killing.

While planning tomorrow's work content, little Gilbert was thinking about things.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Charlize Theron was outside the door: "Director Gilbert, are you asleep?"

Little Gilbert opened the door and asked: "Sally, are you still up so late?"

Charlize Theron said: "I couldn't sleep and wanted to come and talk to you."

"Come in!" Little Gilbert invited Charlize Theron to sit in.

"Tea or coffee? Forget it, you can't sleep even after drinking it, drink some wine!" Little Gilbert said, opening a bottle of whiskey from the bar, adding ice cubes, and poured a glass for Charlize Theron and himself.

The room that little Gilbert lived in was quite luxurious, with a bedroom, a living room, and a bar in the living room with wine on it.

Only Gilbert Jr. and the lead actor Bruce Willis are eligible to live in a room of this size.

The two producers don't usually stay in hotels. They drive to the set in the morning and drive home at night.

Obviously the producer also understands the truth and knows that a good rest can keep the director and starring actors energetic and devoted to filming.

That is to say, the roles played by directors and actors in a movie are becoming more and more important, so their salaries continue to rise.

"Thank you," Charlize Theron took the wine glass and glanced around the room. When she didn't see Naomi Watts, she asked little Gilbert: "Where's Naomi!"

"Her," Little Gilbert clinked a drink with Charlize Theron: "There is a party in Australia tonight, hosted by Mel Gibson, and she went to socialize."

"Oh," Charlize Theron asked curiously, knowing that little Gilbert was a squid, "Do you Jewish people have similar gatherings?"

"There should be," little Gilbert said that he was not very sure: "But I never received the invitation, I probably forgot about it."

In fact, little Gilbert actually received invitations from many Jewish elite groups, and there were countless invitations to cocktail receptions and parties.

When a nationally recognized talented director joins a certain group, it is an opportunity for the group to show its face.

However, little Gilbert's father was once miserably cheated by a certain Jewish elite group, which was also one of the reasons that indirectly led to his withdrawal from Hollywood.

So the old man accepted all the invitations, and then helped little Gilbert refuse most of them.

But the old man couldn't refuse some invitations.

One is an invitation from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the organizer of the Oscars, and the other is an invitation from the Producers Alliance and the Directors Guild.

These are well-established circles in Hollywood. If Gilbert wants to stay in Hollywood and even make a difference at the Oscars, he has to get in touch with these circles.

And many of the people in these circles are powerful squids.

Sometimes little Gilbert doesn't want to get too involved with the squids, but he can't help it.

In this land, there are some things that you can't just avoid if you want to.

It was a pleasure chatting with Charlize Theron, who shared her experiences growing up with little Gilbert.

She learned dance at the age of six and became a fashion model at the age of fourteen.

Later, there was a change in the family, so he came to Los Angeles with his mother. Finally, under the encouragement of his agent Diana, he came up with the idea of ​​​​making a career in Hollywood.

After getting familiar with each other, Charlize Theron's title became a little more casual: "Little Gilbert, what do you think I need to do if I gain a foothold in Hollywood?"

Little Gilbert looked Charlize Theron up and down, and then said: "If you want to be Meryl Split, you should work in the independent film industry."

At this time, Meryl Split had already won the Oscar for Best Actress, and also won many other acting awards. It can be said that she is soft on awards.

But in the discussion of Hollywood's A-list actresses, big-mouthed Julia Roberts, Julianne Moore, Jodie Foster, and even Gwyneth Paltrow were mentioned, but absolutely not Meryl Split will be mentioned.

Of course, Charlize Theron is not willing to be a so-called powerful actor if she can come to Hollywood. Who in Hollywood doesn't want to go to the top and have a look?
  So she shook her head decisively and said: "I hope that when people look back on Hollywood history in the future, they will put my name together with Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor."

Little Gilbert said with a smile: "If you want to become such a legendary actress, you have to work hard."

"Then do you have any suggestions?" Charlize Theron stared at little Gilbert with expectant eyes.

"Hmm..." Little Gilbert pondered for a while, and then said: "If you become such an actress, fame and awards are indispensable.

Sally, you need to be the hero. "

Everyone wants to be the protagonist, but there are not many actresses in Hollywood who can be the protagonist.

Especially for the protagonists of major commercial productions, when they are released for auditions, they are not fighting openly and secretly. Caused a bloody storm.

Even dying for a role is not unheard of in Hollywood.

If there is no big man covering her, Charlize Theron doesn’t know when she will make her mark.

She was able to get this role because Cameron Diaz blew little Gilbert's pillow wind.

Then why not go a step further and directly become little Gilbert's pillow person and blow the hair yourself?

I have to say that Charlize Theron, who is only eighteen years old, has a lot of strange thoughts in her mind.

But after all, I am still immature and I can’t let go of my face for the time being.

If she were to be replaced by another low-level actress who has been in Hollywood for a long time, she wouldn't hesitate for a second.

The two chatted very late, and it was almost time to go to bed.

When sending Charlize Theron out, little Gilbert suddenly asked in a confused manner: "By the way, do you know Kung Fu?"

"Kung Fu?" Charlize Theron shook his head and said, "I don't know about it, but I've heard of it and I know Bruce Lee."

"Kung fu is very interesting. I love watching many kung fu movies from Hong Kong Island," said little Gilbert.

Although Charlize Theron was confused as to why little Gilbert told him this.

However, she still became curious and planned to watch Kung Fu movies when she had time.
