Chapter 315 The growing Sijia
"Scarlett, what are you thinking about?" A red-haired classmate patted Scarlett Johansson on the shoulder, bringing her back to reality from her meditation.

Scarlett looked back and saw a red-haired female classmate with whom she usually played well.

"No, nothing?" Scarlett looked out the classroom window sadly and sighed again.

"You don't look like you are okay. Is it because the star of the school basketball team is pursuing you and makes you feel worried?" The red-haired girl seemed to know Sijia very well.

Maybe Scarlett is so close to the red-haired girl that she even shares things about the person she likes with her.

"That's not it," Sijia denied and changed the subject: "School is over, let's go together later!"

"Okay," the red-haired girl's attention was diverted as expected, and the two made an appointment to go together after school.

Sijia looked out the window sadly again, unable to complain in her heart: When will my school career end? When can I let that bastard realize what's in his heart? Is it possible for her to take the initiative?

Scarlett went to school, which was the result of little Gilbert's insistence.

People like Sijia who were born as child stars generally may not go to college after finishing high school, and some even fail to complete high school.

"You have to finish college, Scarlett." These were little Gilbert's exact words.

Scarlett curled her lips and said dissatisfied: "Why? I can become a Hollywood star or even a superstar without going to college."

After school, Sijia and the red-haired girl walked out of the school gate together. Before they could get on their bicycles, Sijia was blocked by a tall and strong boy.

In the United States, it is very common to use recommendation letters to recommend a student to a good school.

In fact, a celebrity may be an uneducated guy in private, which is in sharp contrast to his own image.

The school board would certainly not refuse him such a small thing as arranging people to go to school.

In fact, many celebrities in Hollywood, despite their extraordinary conversational skills and appearance of cultured people, are the result of the training of the public relations team behind them.

However, little Gilbert still told Scarlett to be serious. This was not a formality. Little Gilbert wanted Scarlett to study seriously.

Scarlett also hated school when she reached a certain age.

"Sijia, how about we go play together on the weekend? I know a good place." This sturdy boy had a flattering smile on his face and stared at Sijia with his small eyes, looking a little greedy.

Little Gilbert has promised that as long as Scarlett's SAT score is sufficient, he will write a letter of recommendation recommending Scarlett to study at his alma mater, the University of Southern California.

Even if she is not as good as school star Natalie Portman, at least she will have the impression of a cultural actress in the future, leaving a good impression on the public.

After hearing about this, little Gilbert talked with Scarlett's mother, Ms. Sloan, and finally decided to let Scarlett at least finish college.

"People will not like an illiterate superstar who has never gone to college." Little Gilbert seemed ruthless: "If you want to stand out among your group of female stars, you must go through college."

Sijia was very unhappy, but she eventually obeyed and returned to school to study and take the college entrance examination.

"I won't let you unless you agree." The muscular boy said forcefully.

Gilbert Jr. donated $10 million to the University of Southern California in his own name to build a library named after his mother.

After saying that, Sijia bypassed the muscular boy and walked to the other side. But the boy was worthy of being on the school basketball team. He moved very quickly and blocked Sijia's way.

"Get out of the way..." Sijia frowned.

"I'm sorry," Sijia refused: "I have something to do on the weekend and can't go out to play with you."

Scarlett always obeyed little Gilbert's words, so apart from filming, she went to school honestly.

"Hey, Albert, Scarlett has clearly expressed her rejection, can you be a bit more gentlemanly?" The red-haired girl immediately stood up to protect Scarlett.

"Hey! Moer, please stop minding your own business. Today, Sijia has to agree even if she doesn't agree, otherwise she won't be able to leave."

The muscular boy said this and waved. Immediately, several members of the school team came over and formed a siege, surrounding Sijia and Moer.

There were many students coming and going in front of the school, watching the fun, but no one dared to come forward.

The only one who can compete with the school basketball team members is the school football team.

Seeing that Scarlett was finally blocked, Albert couldn't hold back his excitement and grabbed Scarlett's little hand.

However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred, and a strong and powerful hand grabbed Albert's hand, preventing him from moving forward.

Albert tried his best to break free, but failed. He was furious, turned around and yelled: "Who grabbed my hand?"

As a result, Albert looked back and was immediately frightened. A bald man grabbed his hand with a fierce look.

The bald man didn't waste much time and just threw Albert aside, and then said to Scarlett: "Miss, the boss's car is already waiting for you at the intersection."

Sijia was still very worried at first, but she didn't expect the unexpected turn of events, and she suddenly became happy: "That bastard finally came to pick me up."

With that said, Scarlett took Moir's hand and walked out of the encirclement. Before leaving, she did not forget to give Albert a kick with her little leather shoes. Albert screamed, but did not dare to move again.

Because there were several strong men next to the bald man, they chased away the school basketball team members like chickens.

Scarlett pulled Moir to the intersection, and sure enough, a customized Rolls-Royce was parked at the intersection. The car door opened and little Gilbert was sitting inside.

"Wow, our little Princess Scarlett is quite popular in school!" Little Gilbert joked.

"Humph, of course, I'm the top of the school's dream lover list." Sijia completely forgot about her panic just now, now she was very proud.

"Okay, who is this?" Little Gilbert looked at Moer in confusion.

Moir excitedly took out his notepad and pen and handed them to little Gilbert: "Little Gilbert, I am your fan, can you sign your autograph for me?"

Scarlett rolled her eyes: "Hey, Moer, can you be more ambitious?"

Moir flinched, but still looked at little Gilbert expectantly.

Little Gilbert laughed, signed his name on the notepad, and took a few photos with Moir.

Moore got the autograph and was very happy. She refused little Gilbert's offer to send her home and left on her bicycle.

Scarlett pouted, sat in the car, then hugged little Gilbert's arm tightly, and asked, "Why are you free to pick me up from school today?"

"Isn't this the premiere of a movie? I'll pick you up to pick out a dress." Little Gilbert said with a smile.

Scarlett was then happy: "Okay, then what are we waiting for? Let's go quickly..."

The Rolls-Royce drove away, and Albert was dumbfounded when he saw the exhaust fumes. Could it be that Scarlett was the daughter of a rich man? Never heard of this!
The car drove smoothly on the road. On the way, little Gilbert was still asking Scarlett: "Who are those people?"

"One of the guys on the school basketball team likes me and has been pursuing me." Sijia replied.

Little Gilbert understood and asked again: "Then have you agreed?"

"No, I refused." Sijia seemed to look down on them: "They are all a bunch of muscular, brainless cannons. I don't like them."

"Hahahaha," little Gilbert said with a smile, "Maybe he can hope to enter the NBA and become an NBA superstar!"

But Sijia shook her head and said: "I only rely on my body to play, not even as good as the James you mentioned."

At this time, James had already become famous in the high school basketball world. It is said that many NBA teams are very optimistic about James' future.

Sijia continued to add: "A basketball player like this can't even drink my bath water, but he still wants to bathe me, just dream!"

"Uh, what's that guy's name?"

"Albert, what's wrong?"

"It's okay," little Gilbert thought to himself. It's a good thing he didn't call him Durant, otherwise things would be a bit strange...

On the eve of the premiere, Gilbert Jr. accepted an exclusive interview with Empire magazine and mentioned his wealth and the film's production philosophy.

"I hope that the movies I make will have excellent quality and bring the audience an unparalleled experience. Serving the audience's enjoyment has always been my first concept in making movies." Gilbert Jr. said.

Faced with the question of how he accumulated so much wealth, little Gilbert did not promote the squid myth like other squids did, but just said that he was lucky.

"I'm just a lucky guy. Everything I have is an opportunity given to me by God, and I took advantage of it."

The reporter asked again: "Now that you have become a well-known super-rich man in the United States and even the world, will you continue to firmly follow the path of movies in the future?"

"Of course," little Gilbert said: "Movies are the foundation of all my careers. Without movies, I wouldn't be where I am today."

Finally, little Gilbert added: "As long as I can still move and hold a camera, I will keep shooting."

The purpose of this interview is also to promote the movie.

The second part of "The Two Towers" will have more characters, and the scenes will be more grand than the first part. Gilbert Jr. said in an exclusive interview that movie fans will definitely see a better "Lord of the Rings" movie than the previous one.

"This film has more real shots and special effects shots. The film will comprehensively show the Battle of Helm's Deep and the battle of Isengard, and at the same time show the determination and courage of mankind when facing danger."

In fact, little Gilbert needs to say that movie fans all over the world are already going crazy waiting for "The Two Towers".

It feels like a Chinese stand-alone game player, counting the days, feeling a little nervous, waiting for the release of "Black Myth: Wukong" day by day.

However, little Gilbert will use facts to prove that the fans' wait is worth it, and "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" will not disappoint fans.

On Thursday, May 2001, , "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" had its grand premiere at the Chinese Theater in Los Angeles, announcing the official start of the summer season.
