Chapter 221 Public reaction
Although except for "Farewell My Concubine", Gege Chen's other films seem to be average, but his ability to build cities is good, and little Gilbert still admires him.
The scale of Baicheng is not larger than the Qin Palace. Building a city from scratch is not an exaggerated move for them.
The negotiations went very smoothly, both parties were interested in cooperating, and an agreement was initialed soon.
Of course, such an important matter must be reported by media reporters.
So in accordance with Western habits, the authorities held a special signing ceremony and invited many media reporters to cover it.
For little Gilbert, once Chinese media reporters report it, North American media reporters will soon follow suit, and it won’t be long before everyone knows.
Today, when the project has progressed to this point, there is no need to keep it secret.
So little Gilbert agreed to the request to hold a signing ceremony and happily took a photo with a leader holding the cooperation letter.
After the cooperation agreement was signed, Little Gilbert took Kane with him, and under the leadership of experts arranged by Tian Chongming, they began to visit various major scenic spots in China and select suitable shooting locations.
The first locations to be chosen are the construction site of the Hobbit Town Shire and the construction site of the White City.
"Little Gilbert is going to China, or preparing for major projects..."
Although some methods are not used on little Gilbert, obviously one cannot expect the competitors in the summer season to put in good words for little Gilbert.
"If it weren't for Washington's obstruction, little Gilbert would have already set the filming location in New Zealand. Now that he has made such a great contribution to promoting Western culture, he is still being attacked by the unwarranted media."
But in terms of the biggest response, it was actually the majority of "Lord of the Rings" fans.
The focus of the debate is whether the young Gilbert can successfully complete the task of adapting "The Lord of the Rings" and whether the film can be a success.
"It is reported that Gilbert Jr. is preparing to put Tolkien's masterpiece "The Lord of the Rings" on the big screen. This trip to China is to choose a suitable filming location."
After Chinese media colleagues reported that a major Hollywood movie project had landed in China, their North American counterparts quickly learned about the news and reported it.
The media are equally divided on this matter. The media owned by Warner and Disney naturally believe that Little Gilbert can succeed, but other media have a skeptical attitude.
However, the media owned by Warner and Disney were well prepared. After the questioning and deliberately guided media began to take the lead, these media immediately came out to cheer for little Gilbert.
"Because the negotiations with the New Zealand authorities did not go well, little Gilbert finally decided to place the filming location of "Lord of the Rings" in China. He must have received a lot of benefits there, which is doubtful..."
"Putting the filming location in China can effectively promote Western culture and thereby enhance cultural appeal. This is a good thing. Little Gilbert has a long-term vision."
"The Lord of the Rings is known as the most difficult work to adapt. Although Gilbert Jr. is taking over the work, there are still concerns about whether Gilbert Jr. can successfully adapt it?"
Of course, the media owned by competitors will not say good things for little Gilbert. This is normal.
It is suspected that it is because adapting "The Lord of the Rings" is indeed difficult, which makes people doubt whether Gilbert Jr. can guarantee his success again. Needless to say, it goes without saying that the purpose of deliberate guidance is to arouse people's disgust.
However, everyone's focus is not on the fact that the filming location is in China. After all, little Gilbert is doing things with a hat of promoting Western culture, and the media cannot say it is wrong.
"Isn't it inappropriate to shoot a novel with a purely Western cultural background in China?"
The pace of this incident instantly detonated public opinion in North America, and major media outlets debated endlessly.
After the signing ceremony, the reaction from North America was as little Gilbert expected.
"If anyone could adapt The Lord of the Rings, it would be little Gilbert."
There is a reason why "The Lord of the Rings" is known as the most difficult work to adapt. The huge and complex world in the book has fascinated book fans.
Sure enough, after the project landed in China, most North American media reports initially had a skeptical and deliberately misleading attitude.
For this novel, Tolkien even specially created Elvish language and writing, and wrote a worldview.
The beautiful descriptions in the text have fascinated many "Lord of the Rings" fans, thinking that there can be no place on earth as beautiful as the one in the book.
And now, someone actually plans to destroy the beautiful fantasy in their hearts. How can fans of "The Lord of the Rings" accept this?
Noel is a loyal "Lord of the Rings" fan and the leader of the New York "Lord of the Rings" fan club, organizing weekly activities to discuss the world of "Lord of the Rings".
That magnificent and majestic world made Noel yearn for it. He hated that he was actually an ordinary earthling.
How wonderful it would be to become a member of Middle-earth, a noble and beautiful elf, or a brave and fearless knight of Rohan!
He wants to marry a beautiful elf woman, have a lot of children, and build his own business.
He dreamed of this scene many times. After waking up, I couldn't help but secretly hate myself, why can't dreams be reality?
Based on such fantasies and emotions, when someone wanted to adapt "The Lord of the Rings", even though the other party was a talented Hollywood director and had no mistakes in the past, Noel still felt that the beauty in his heart had been ruined.
So at the latest week's book fan gathering, Noel gave a speech: "We want to protest, we want to oppose, and we should unite all the "Lord of the Rings" fans to stop Little Gilbert's behavior." This was received by the book fan club. With the approval of netizens, everyone quickly took action and contacted book fans from all over the country, forming a large-scale protest wave.
"This is Fox TV station, and we can see thousands of people sitting in front of the Warner Pictures headquarters. They are holding signs and shouting slogans in protest.
These people are all fans of "The Lord of the Rings" and they came to protest against Director Gilbert Jr.'s decision to put "The Lord of the Rings" on the big screen..."
Turning off the TV, Jeff Robinov had a headache on his face: “The protests in various places were huge, and I heard that there were even book fans coming from Europe to protest.
It seems that this time we are going to be watched by our colleagues. "
"I think it's just the opposite." Doug Walter doesn't think so: "I think other companies are envious of us.
This shows that the "Lord of the Rings" project is indeed attracting much attention. If it succeeds, the louder the opposition is now, the louder it will be touted in the future.
Jeff, do you think little Gilbert will fail? "
"Of course not, I have great confidence in little Gilbert." Jeff Robinov said.
"Then don't worry. I know little Gilbert very well. If the probability of success is not high, he will never take the risk of starting this project." Doug Walter has always been full of confidence in little Gilbert.
The same thing happened at Disney.
However, Disney's side included the board of directors' attacks on Michael Eisner. As Michael Eisner's health became visibly worse, some people on the board of directors began to make moves.
Robert Iger tried his best to sell it at the top to support Little Gilbert's project, but the struggling board of directors labeled Robert Iger as Michael Eisner's confidant and did not trust him.
Robert Iger was so angry that he yelled at a high-level meeting: "Your hesitation now is to give Warner a chance to make Gilbert Jr., the hottest director in Hollywood, completely turn to Warner."
Some directors on the board of directors were not impressed. One director even said: "There are many excellent directors in Hollywood. If Gilbert Jr. is not going to cooperate with us, it will be his loss."
Everyone heard the words and looked to see who had said such stupid words.
There are many excellent directors in Hollywood, but there is only one little Gilbert. Are you talking nonsense?
Turns out it was John Disney, the ineffectual kid of the Disney family. It's not surprising that anything he said to the board of directors would be regarded as fart.
Although the directors opposed Michael Eisner's autocratic power, they also resented a fool leading Disney.
Recognizing the importance of Little Gilbert and the fact that Little Gilbert's past experience was too brilliant, Disney fully passed the resolution to support Little Gilbert despite the objections of some directors.
After the meeting, Robert Iger and Michael Eisner complained: "These short-sighted people will destroy Disney sooner or later."
Michael Eisner obviously didn't have enough energy at this time. He weighed it for a long time and said, "Bob, get ready. I plan to push you to the position of Disney CEO."
"Mr. Eisner, this..."
Before Robert Iger could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Michael Eisner: "I know what Gilbert Jr. said to you. He supports you being the CEO of Disney, right?"
Without waiting for Robert Iger to admit or object, Michael Eisner said to himself: "My body is no longer strong enough to support high-intensity work.
Disney has been my lifelong endeavor, and I have brought Disney to where it is today step by step. I hope you will not disappoint my expectations and lead Disney to greater glory. "
Michael Eisner said this, what else could Robert Iger say? I can only bow my head and say yes.
That's good, Robert Iger doesn't have to turn against his former boss, and Michael Eisner can retire with dignity.
At the same time, Robert Iger was able to accept Michael Eisner's legacy at Disney, but he also had to accept the hostility toward Michael Eisner from some board members.
It's a necessary sacrifice, and Robert Egger understands it.
It was a big deal, but just a few words between the two of them decided the future of Disney.
"What is little Gilbert doing right now?" Michael Eisner was curious.
"He is traveling around China's famous mountains and rivers, and he is quite happy." Robert Egger said with a smile.
"You won't bring a Chinese beauty back, will you?"
"It's very possible that little Gilbert once told me that he is a big fan of Da Mi Mi. I still don't know who Da Mi Mi is. She should be a very famous actress in China.
I think that after little Gilbert reveals his identity as a major Hollywood director, something big will follow. "
Robert Egger was very happy to joke, but he never expected that Da Mi Mi was just an eleven-year-old girl at this time and had not yet become a big star.
