Chapter 273 Other Film Projects
A long time ago, George Lucas said that he originally wanted Gilbert Jr. to take over the "Star Wars" series.

But little Gilbert has his own projects, year after year, and his creative motivation is very strong, and he has no time to take over the "Star Wars" series.

There was no other way, so George Lucas had no choice but to take action himself.

Although there are many flaws, but who knows this is "Star Wars", the film is still a big success as expected.

After returning from the premiere, little Gilbert saw one of the media outlets praising Anakin and Padmé's love story.

The title is quite interesting, it's called "This love affair between a sister and a brother who are 5 years apart," is a poignant love tragedy. '

Little Gilbert glanced at the report for a moment, then put it aside, wanting to laugh a little. This newspaper is quite good at cleaning things up, as expected of someone who studied journalism.

After paying a little attention, little Gilbert forgot about Star Wars.

As the preparations are coming to an end, Gilbert Jr. plans to take the entire crew to China in mid-June to start the filming journey.

Similarly, the actors' training venue has also been moved to China.

"Uh, of course." Little Gilbert wanted to say. In fact, he wanted to come to see his investment.

According to the arrangements of the director team and production team, everyone's role is different, but they all need to stay in China for at least three months. Because it is a three-part shoot, some actors may need to stay there for more than a year.

"Take me to Director Cohen." Little Gilbert said.

At that time, the scenes for the next two movies may be being shot, and then they will be released at the rate of one movie per year.

"As you command, my knight." Liv Tyler happily swung her long legs in front of her, jumping and pulling little Gilbert, and found Director Rob Cohen.

The difference between the "Lord of the Rings" series and other series of movies is that the trilogy of movies in this series completes the traditional three-act drama model.

Seeing little Gilbert appear on the set, Liv Tyler was very happy and jumped into little Gilbert's arms.

And there is a lot of internal strife at Disney right now, and apart from Gilbert Jr.’s projects and its own animated film business, it basically doesn’t care about anything else.

Since the last conversation with Sheena Boone, after a short period of preparation, this small and medium-sized production with an investment of US$3800 million has entered the shooting stage.

"Are you here to see me?" Liv Tyler asked.

According to Gilbert Jr.'s plan, "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" will not be released on the summer schedule until next summer.

The rhythm of one film a year can be said to be quite perfect.

That is, the beginning, the middle, and the end.

Because there was still time, little Gilbert took the time to visit the set of "The Fast and the Furious".

Then some people began to reflect on themselves, whether they had teased Liv Tyler a few days ago, or if they had offended her in some way. Liv Tyler wouldn't say it, wouldn't she be punished?
But this kind of worry is unnecessary. Liv Tyler was immersed in joy and had no time to think about these things.

Gilbert Jr. hired Rob Cohen to direct and signed a distribution deal with Warner Bros. Pictures.

Everyone on the set was surprised. It turned out that the rumors were true. Liv Tyler and little Gilbert had an unusual relationship.

This film brings together Paul Walker, Vin Diesel, and Liv Tyler, who was stuffed in by little Gilbert. The rest seems to be different from the previous castings, and has changed a lot.

Liv Tyler was even more happy. She excitedly gave little Gilbert a sweet kiss, and then she took Little Gilbert's arm in a ostentatious manner and showed it to everyone on the set, feeling very proud.

Disney had little interest in this racing-themed movie and did not compete with Warner Pictures for distribution rights.

Therefore, there cannot be an interval of two to three years between each movie, otherwise the movie-watching experience will be greatly reduced.

Gilbert Jr. and Rob Cohen talked in detail about the progress of this project, which is currently progressing well. This is a B-level film produced with a small and medium budget.

Little Gilbert said to Rob Cohen: "I don't ask for anything profound. I hope this is a refreshing popcorn movie that makes the audience feel excited and happy in the cinema."

Rob Cohen obviously knew his mission: "Don't worry, sir, I know what to do."

Rob Cohen is a good director and has experience in directing before. It is not difficult for him to shoot such a popcorn movie.

Therefore, little Gilbert is quite relieved, and as the producer of the film, little Gilbert will not let the film deviate from his control.

After talking to Rob Cohen, Liv Tyler pulled over another beautiful woman with brown skin and a delicate face.

"Let's get to know each other, this is my good friend, Jessica Alba." Liv Tyler introduced: "Mary, this is Director Gilbert, do you recognize her too?"

Jessica Alba shook hands with little Gilbert and greeted politely: "Hello, director Little Gilbert."

Little Gilbert shook hands with the Latin beauty, and then turned to Liv Tyler: "I heard from Director Cohen that you often act like a princess on the set."

"He actually filed a complaint?" Liv Tyler felt embarrassed.

Little Gilbert patted Liv Tyler's little face, and Liv Tyler actually made a comfortable moan, leaving Jessica Alba stunned.

It turns out that Liv Tyler was not telling lies, and her relationship with little Gilbert is really extraordinary.

"Liv, you are a professional actor. I hope you can treat your career correctly and don't imitate Gwen, which will destroy yourself sooner or later." Little Gilbert lectured.

Liv Tyler, who was like a lioness in front of others, was as docile as a kitten in front of little Gilbert. She nodded obediently and said, "Okay, I understand, I will be obedient."

Little Gilbert turned to Jessica and said, "Since you are Liv's good friend, then help me watch her more and remind her."

Jessica was overjoyed, this was an opportunity for her, and she immediately agreed: "Okay, Director Gilbert, I will help keep an eye on Liv." "Very good," Gilbert nodded with satisfaction. , and then said goodbye: "Then I'll leave first, and you guys have a good time filming."

"Hey, just leaving like that?" Liv Tyler was a little disappointed. She thought little Gilbert was here today.

"After you finish filming, you can go to China to see me. I should be busy with my current project at that time." Little Gilbert said.

"Okay," Liv Tyler warned like a little wife: "Be safe, I heard it's very evil over there."

"Where did you hear these words? Don't be misled." Little Gilbert waved his hand, turned around and got into the car: "Let's go..."

Watching the exhaust fumes of the car leaving, Liv Tyler suddenly said to Jessica Alba: "Mary, what do you think of Director Gilbert Little?"

Jessica replied: "I think he is pretty good, not as scary as the rumors say."

"Really?" Liv Tyler said with a look of success: "How about you come with me?"

"What together?"

"Be Director Gilbert's little lover!"

Jessica rolled her eyes: "Liv, you are out of your mind. How can you be like this? Do you still have any sense of shame?"

"Of course," Liv Tyler was not ashamed at all, but rather proud: "Look at the women who live in the Melon Manor, they are all called madam.

Little Gilbert is the king of his movie kingdom, what's wrong with a few more women? "

Jessica was completely speechless, but her heart was aroused by Liv Tyler, and she couldn't help but think about it.

I have seen so many beauties that I can treat Jessica Alba and little Gilbert with peace of mind. However, he still asked his assistant Anna in the car: "Is the actor named Jessica a contracted artist of Hina?"

"Yes," Anna asked, "Do you want me to help arrange it?"

"No need," little Gilbert just asked out of curiosity.

Preparations began at the same time as "The Fast and the Furious" and the last two parts of "The Matrix."

The original cast of the film will return, and Hugo Weaving will not join the cast of "The Lord of the Rings" until after filming "The Matrix."

As the director, James Gunn also adopted the method of shooting two parts in succession, but many preparations were completed in the first part of "The Matrix", so his work is much simpler than that of "The Lord of the Rings".

The film also added new faces. For example, an actor from Hong Kong Island, Zou Zhaolong, joined the crew and had more than ten minutes of scenes.

In addition, Italian goddess Monica Bellucci has also joined the cast, playing an unknown role.

Guanhua is already thirty-five years old, but her charm remains the same as before, adding a hint of the charm of a mature woman.

However, no woman can resist the erosion of time. Unless she is Liu Xiaoqing, beauty will eventually grow old, which is regrettable.

The follow-up "The Matrix" still adheres to the cool and handsome line. Little Gilbert asked the actors to be either cool or handsome, and then beautiful.

The second part was named "Reloaded". Gilbert Jr. and James Gunn chatted for a long time to discuss the style of this film.

"James, don't look at the critics' praise for this movie, which goes too far in the philosophical direction." Gilbert Jr. emphasized: "I hope this movie will have a lot of action scenes and explosions, and it will be in line with the temperament of a commercial masterpiece. ”

This is inevitable, after all, the combined investment of the two films has exceeded 2.5 million US dollars, mainly because the salaries of the leading actors Keanu Reeves and Charlize Theron have increased a lot, and there are many special effects production.

James Gunn made it clear: "Don't worry, little Gilbert, I know what to do."

Regarding James Gunn's ability, Gilbert Jr. expressed his confidence: "Very good. If you have any questions, please communicate with me in time."

James Gunn made a gesture to show that he was clear.

According to the current production ideas, the reputation and quality of the post-school film will definitely not be as good as the first one. But at least ensuring commercial attributes will prevent this film from losing money.

And long ago, little Gilbert analyzed that the success of "The Matrix" has nothing to do with profound religious metaphors and philosophy.

These elements are just the icing on the cake, what really makes the film a hit is the coolness of the characters, and the engaging action fights and explosive explosions.

These are all common elements in Hollywood, but when you add a layer of virtual science fiction, it feels very high-end. In essence, there is no difference between "The Matrix" and movies like "The Fast and the Furious".

After chatting with James Gunn for a while, little Gilbert came out and found Charlize Theron who was training.

"In the next year or so, I will be stationed in China." Little Gilbert said.

Charlize Theron nodded: "Don't worry, I will take care of it at home, and there are Naomi and Michelle."

"I feel relieved to have you here," little Gilbert held Charlize Theron in his arms and said, "Go to China to see me when you have time. There are many beautiful scenery there. You will like it."

Charlize Theron hummed, then leaned into little Gilbert's arms, enjoying this rare moment of peace.

After seeing the status of these projects, they all progressed smoothly, and little Gilbert felt relieved.

On June 20th, little Gilbert officially led a huge crew of more than 3,000 people and set off for China to start filming the great "Lord of the Rings" series of movies.

This process is undoubtedly quite long and torturous, but little Gilbert said he is very confident.
