Chapter 102 Oscar Night

Mehdi Thomson knew who everyone wanted to hear more, so he hurriedly ended his acceptance speech and handed the stage to little Gilbert.

Little Gilbert walked up to the microphone. Before he could speak, there was a burst of cheers and screams from below.

He calmed down a little, and then said to himself: This is not the best director, this is not the best director...

After hypnotizing himself, little Gilbert officially gave his first acceptance speech in his life.

This is really the first time in my life. If you include the award-winning middle school essay in my previous life, this is the second time.

“First of all, I would like to thank my excellent team, without their support, I would not be able to complete such a complex work.

Anne and Sophia always helped me solve many problems during the filming process, and Charles and Kane always helped me keep the crew organized so that I could focus on the filming.

Keanu, Sandra, Denis, Naomi, are some of the best actors I have ever worked with.

And my cinematographer, my art director, action stunt coordinator, all the team members, without you, this movie wouldn't be possible.

Secondly, I would like to thank my family for their support. My father, my aunt and my family will always be my loyal fans.

Then, I would like to thank Touchstone Pictures and Warner Pictures for their trust in me, and I hope we can continue to cooperate happily.

Finally, I would like to thank my fans. Without your support, there would be no talented director as rumored in the outside world.

I am not a genius, but I am willing to bring you more exciting videos, thank you..."

The acceptance speech is not a long one. It is the first time for young people to come to this stage! Can express understanding.

I just don’t know how Gilbert Jr. will perform if he gets nominated for Best Director.

But everyone knows that little Gilbert is unlikely to get the Oscar for Best Director for the time being, after all, he is too young.

Unless there is a huge opportunity and the most powerful public relations, it will not be possible.

After winning the statuette for Best Editing, little Gilbert couldn't rest. He gave the statuette to Mehdi Thomson, and then they went backstage to be interviewed together.

Mainly, I want to talk about what it feels like to win an Oscar for the first time.

Gilbert Jr. said: "I am very excited and excited. This is my first trip to the Oscars, and I don't think it will be the last."

This sentence actually shows that he has the idea of ​​​​attacking the Oscar.

However, his commercial attributes are too strong, he has never been in the independent film industry, and he has nothing to do with the so-called film art.

So it will probably take a lot of effort to win such an important award as Best Director.

The Oscars discriminate against commercial films no longer.

Of course, that doesn’t mean that commercial films are completely out of the question for Oscars. There are some influential commercial films that can still make a difference at the Oscars.

In addition, Gilbert Jr. also talked about his new movie, revealing that the film will hit theaters on the first weekend of the summer season.

This year, most of the popular summer movies are concentrated in June and July. May is the beginning of the summer season, and the number and quality of movies released are not as good as those in June and July.

But little Gilbert doesn't care about this. May is just the right time, there aren't many competitors, and the movie can be released without any pressure.

"Interview with the Vampire" was originally scheduled to be released on the same weekend as "The Iron Fist", but something happened with the Animal Welfare Organization.

Then CAA discussed with Universal Pictures and moved the schedule to August.

They are not released in the same schedule, so naturally there is no competition.

Previously, Tom Cruise took the initiative to call and stated that he had absolutely no knowledge of CAA contacting animal protection organizations.

The subtext is that Michael Ovitz and Martin Bob did it, and you can't blame me.

Obviously, Tom Cruise clearly understands the value of little Gilbert, not only in terms of his current achievements, but also in his age.

Little Gilbert, who is only 23 years old, has three successful films in a row. The latest film "Speed" has a global box office of over 400 million US dollars.

Tom Cruise's highest-grossing movie since his debut is "Top Gun" with a box office of 3.57 million.

The drama film "Rain Man" co-starring Dustin Hoffman actually also earned 3.55 million at the box office.

But none of them have exceeded US$400 million in box office.

If you want to maintain your status as a superstar, box office is a very important dimension, sometimes even more important than Oscars.

After the backstage interview was over, little Gilbert couldn't rest yet. He also had to give the award to the best foreign language film.

In the end, it was the Spanish film "My Lover" that won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

It is worth mentioning that the star of this film is actually a Latin actress that little Gilbert is very familiar with, Penelope Cruz.

She also came to the Oscars ceremony and jumped with excitement when she won the best foreign language film.

After the awards were presented, little Gilbert returned to his seat.

Naomi Watts asked curiously: "Little Gilbert, where is the statuette?"

"I gave it to mehndi." Little Gilbert said casually.

DiCaprio seemed to have guessed what little Gilbert was thinking, and said with a smile: "Perhaps our young directors prefer the statuette for Best Director!"

Little Gilbert didn't say anything, which was his acquiescence.

But tonight's Best Director award is destined to have nothing to do with him. This award was won by Spielberg. Similarly, the best picture at this year's Oscars also belongs to "Schindler's List".

Tom Hanks, just like in his previous life, won the best actor trophy with "Once Upon a Time in Philadelphia" and started his journey to stardom.

The most important thing is that little Gilbert also knows that Tom Hanks has another movie "Forrest Gump" this year.

Two consecutive blockbuster movies, coupled with his performance at the Oscars, have ushered in Tom Hanks' own era.

Gilbert Jr. had a movie he wanted to make with Tom Hanks.

But first, finish the project at hand and the Alcatraz project before talking to Tom Hanks.

Coming to Hollywood in the 1990s, having never worked with the two Toms, little Gilbert felt that his trip was in vain.

After the Oscars ceremony, there is an appreciation dinner.

Gilbert Jr. brought Naomi Watts with him, and DiCaprio also attended.

After socializing for a while, little Gilbert asked Naomi Watts to socialize by herself. He was hungry and needed to hide and eat something.

DiCaprio was obviously not used to such an occasion. His eyes were rolling on those beautiful actresses, but he did not speak.

"If you want to pursue one of them, you should strike up a conversation boldly, Leo." Little Gilbert said.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Lizi shook his head and said, "I'm not interested. Have you seen that one over there?"

"Who? Julianne Moore? Isn't she gay? She shouldn't be interested in you, right?"

DiCaprio glanced at Little Gilbert and said, "Don't you know? She is bisexual and has participated in nudity parties."

"How did you know?" Little Gilbert was curious.

"I also participated," Xiao Lizi said matter-of-factly: "Although she was wearing a mask, I still recognized her."

Little Gilbert was speechless. He was worthy of being a future Hollywood playboy. He started his career at such a young age and even attended a silver party...

"Hey, little Gilbert, do you want to participate? If I introduce you, you might even meet Julia Roberts." DiCaprio encouraged.

"Me?" Little Gilbert refused decisively: "I'm not interested, why not go fishing."

"Fishing is good, my fishing skills are very good." Xiao Lizi beamed.

When meeting a fishing friend, the two naturally have a discussion and make an appointment to go fishing together next time.

After DiCaprio went to socialize, Verona Ryder came over again.

"If you have a girlfriend, you won't miss me anymore, right?" Verona Ryder searched around and finally found little Gilbert hiding in a corner eating snacks.

"Laura," little Gilbert smiled awkwardly: "Why haven't you left yet?"

Verona Ryder's real name is Verona Laura Hogwitz.

After learning Verona Ryder's real name, Gilbert Jr. suggested that Verona Ryder change her name to Verona Hogwarts.

Verona Ryder didn't understand and asked little Gilbert why.

Little Gilbert explained: "In this way, when people mention your name in the future, they will think of you as someone from the Magic Academy."

"Why is the name Hogwarts related to the School of Magic?" Verona Ryder still couldn't understand.

Little Gilbert just showed a mysterious smile: "You will know later."

Thanks to the reminder of Verona Ryder's real name, little Gilbert immediately thought of the famous "Harry Potter" series.

Now the author of the original novel, J.K. Rowling, should have the prototype of her first novel, and little Gilbert plans to pay close attention.

Of course, little Gilbert had previously thought of simply writing it himself.

But words and movies are two completely different carriers, so he was able to film "Harry Potter" and he still had a good time.

But asking him to write the "Harry Potter" novel is really impossible.

But it doesn't matter. With the advantage of foresight, he can make plans in advance and win the copyright of the novel.

But this series of novels cannot be mastered by him alone. Without the promotion of a large media group, it is difficult to say whether this series of novels can replicate the glory of its previous life.

Back at the Hollywood dinner scene, Verona Ryder complained about little Gilbert: "I found that you are really boring and rigid."

"What do you say?" Little Gilbert asked curiously. He wanted to know what others thought of him.

“You don’t smoke pot, you don’t go to social parties, you don’t play rock and roll, you just focus on your work.

Aren't you tired of living like this? Verona Ryder said, tapping little Gilbert's chest.

Little Gilbert shook his head slightly and said: "Laura, that's what you're talking about, it's Johnny Depp, not me.

People can have many choices, and it is my freedom to choose. "

Verona Ryder had nothing to say when it came to freedom. She glanced at little Gilbert and said: "You are really boring..."

After saying that, Verona Ryder left in a daze. It seemed that she was a little disappointed that she didn't get a response tonight.
