Chapter 348: Crazy and Crazy

Judging from the results, Angelina Jolie successfully dragged herself down this time due to competition in the same schedule.

Who would have thought that the Hollywood sex goddess' private life would be so chaotic.

For a time, North American audiences' impression of Angelina Jolie became very bad, which also led to the box office performance of "Tomb Raider" being lower than expected.

Anne Hathaway was one of those who was dragged into this, and as we all saw, Angelina Jolie was almost ruined by Gilbert Jr.'s move.

You want to use scandal to deal with young Gilbert, but there is really no scandal about him that can arouse public dislike.

So far, apart from some trouble caused to little Gilbert by the gang on the island, the rest has been nothing serious.

This incident did not affect Gilbert Jr.'s filming progress at all. The filming of "The Fault in Our Stars" was not difficult. The crew just needed to find the feeling of the 1950s and 1960s.

Fortunately, the old man came from that time, and as a professional and producer, he provided young Gilbert with a lot of useful advice.

The film's perspective starts with the male protagonist Bryce, telling how he has no feelings for Julie, and even deliberately pursues the school beauty in order to drive her away.

However, Julie soon saw through all this. She continued to pursue Bryce sincerely and passionately.

Then we switch to Julie's perspective to create a dual narrative. It will be interesting to see the development of the story from different perspectives.

If this story happened in China, the two people would probably be ruthlessly separated by teachers and parents before they even started. Although it is not always the case, at least most of the time it is like this.

However, in the West and North America, premature love is actually nothing.

This may be due to the cultural differences between the East and the West, and it cannot be said that one is definitely right. It’s just that the feelings come too quickly, and even parents cannot stop boys and girls from secretly holding hands.

If you encounter a bad guy, there is nothing you can do.

The heroine in the original movie looked a bit strange. It might be that the director deliberately chose a not-so-pretty heroine in order to highlight her qualities.

However, young Gilbert did not choose to do so. He chose Scarlett. From a sensory point of view, Scarlett is more pleasing to the eye than the original heroine.

By the way, this is Scarlett's first time playing the leading role in a Gilbert Jr. movie.

When little Gilbert told her the news, Scarlett was so excited that she couldn't sleep. She was very excited and shouted loudly.

Since she was a child, she has appeared in the crew of Little Gilbert and played many guest roles. She watched Little Gilbert grow up step by step to where he is today, as if she and Little Gilbert were on their way to success together.

During this process, she gradually grew up, and the feeling of dependence she had in her childhood eventually turned into a special attachment.

When Scarlett was a child, she dreamed of becoming the heroine in Little Gilbert's movies one day, and now her dream has come true.

However, her first week of filming "The Fault in Our Stars" was not smooth.

"Click!" Little Gilbert stopped filming and looked at Scarlett.

Scarlett quickly raised her hand and said, "I'm sorry, little Gilbert, it's my problem!"

"How many times have I told you to use your job title when you're working..." Little Gilbert was very serious.

Scarlett smirked: "It's my fault, Director."

"Why are you twisting your mouth? It looks ugly, okay?" Little Gilbert came over and communicated with Scarlett and Robert Pattinson: "Your scenes just now were a bit unbalanced, and it didn't look harmonious.

Scarlett, I know you are a good actor, but I need you to be more restrained, use fewer methods, and be more natural.

Robert, your expressions and body language are too exaggerated. We are not performing a stage play.

Stage plays use exaggerated body language so that the audience can see the performance clearly, but movies don’t use it.”

Scarlett was a little unconvinced, but Robert Pattinson listened carefully to Gilbert's words and nodded slightly, "Okay, director, I understand."

Little Gilbert turned to look at Scarlett: "Scarlett, what about you?"

"I think my performance just now was great!" Scarlett argued.

"Come here," little Gilbert waved.

"What?" Scarlett became alert and moved towards little Gilbert unconsciously.

When Scarlett got closer, little Gilbert pinched Scarlett's little face, causing Scarlett to cry out in pain: "Why are you pinching my face? Ouch, it hurts..."

Little Gilbert then let go of Scarlett's little face, tapped her forehead again, and taught her a lesson: "When did you develop this bad habit? How did you get princess syndrome?
Just follow what I say, and how dare you refute me?"

"Okay, I know I was wrong." Scarlett looked at little Gilbert with pitiful eyes: "Isn't it okay for me to act according to what you said?"

Little Gilbert said earnestly, "Scarlett, you have to understand that if you want to become a Hollywood star, you must not be arrogant and condescending. It is difficult to guard against villains in this world. Maybe a villain you have offended will come out and bite you at a critical moment."

"Are you a villain then?" Scarlett asked.

"At least he's not a good person..." Little Gilbert patted Scarlett's head again: "Don't change the subject. What I mean is that being a human being is the foundation, and being a princess is not good.

Look at Gwen, she has all these bad habits that are so annoying, I don't want you to become like that."

Hearing Little Gilbert say this, Scarlett felt sweet in her heart, it seemed that Little Gilbert still cared about her. Scarlett was not stupid, outsiders would not tell him such words.

Robert Pattinson listened on the side, secretly marveling at the relationship between Scarlett and Gilbert Jr., and then secretly studied and wrote down everything Gilbert Jr. said.

Some people say that Hollywood doesn't like people who are too humble, but prefers people who are a little crazier.

But this kind of madness is not the same as that kind of madness. Meaningless madness can easily offend people. When dealing with interpersonal relationships, such as facing Hollywood bigwigs such as Spielberg, you can't be mad!

The North American upper class is very envious of the British gentlemen. There are so many red tapes that even real British aristocrats can't stand it.

So "crazy" and "mad" are not the same concept, and it does not mean that the most basic etiquette is not available.

If you don't even follow basic etiquette and respect, you will offend a lot of people, just like Gwyneth Paltrow did.

Previously, there was a director from Mexico who was involved in the independent film circle. He attended the celebration party for "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" without being invited.

This is okay, because there are a lot of uninvited people who just come to join in the fun.

Little Gilbert forgot the director's name, but his look that day left a deep impression on him.

This unkempt director from Mexico wore tattered, smelly clothes, and when he arrived at the celebration party he ate and drank as if no one was around.

Everyone around him stayed away from him until the security guard asked him to leave. Then this maverick shouted, "I came to see Director Gilbert Jr. How dare you chase me out?
You know what you missed? You missed the best independent film of the year.”

Little Gilbert had been watching this man's clown-like performance with great interest, but after hearing about the independent film, he suddenly lost interest and waved his hand to ask the security guard to throw the man out.

If you are here to seek investment, you should at least dress appropriately.

Robert Iger and Doug Walter, as the heads of giant companies, were very polite to little Gilbert. Why do you, a director in the independent film industry, think so?
After this incident, little Gilbert no longer bothered about it. He was just a small figure.

However, I heard that the Mexican director got investment from the second-tier Summit Entertainment and the film has already started shooting. The director also said in an interview that he would use the film to prove to Gilbert Jr. that he was wrong.

The reporter asked the director, "Do you mean to use this film to compete with The Return of the King?"

"No," said the director, whose name Gilbert didn't know yet, "I heard that Gilbert made a low-budget movie. We might as well give it a try."

It’s okay, it seems that I’m not completely stupid. I didn’t dare to touch "The Return of the King".

But even so, while others gave him a thumbs up and praised his courage, they also felt that he was mentally ill. You are not a top Hollywood director, and you, an unknown independent film director, dare to touch Little Gilbert?
But on the other hand, if the Mexican director could defeat Gilbert Jr. in a head-on confrontation, or even just draw with him, it would make him famous.

So from this point of view, this director is not a fool. He knows how to attract attention. It’s just that his behavior is a little too arrogant, which makes many people dislike him.

So you can be crazy, but you can't be annoying.

If you are so crazy that you see enemies everywhere, then there is no point in being crazy.

Talent is rare, but opportunity is the most rare thing.

Every opportunity in Hollywood is hard to come by, and once you let your arrogance get in the way, the opportunity will slip away.

After being taught a lesson by little Gilbert, Scarlett finally adjusted her attitude, became more serious about filming, and restrained her little princess hug.

Fortunately, Scarlett's symptoms were not serious, otherwise she could not be saved.

In fact, Naomi Watts is also a difficult person to deal with when it comes to filming. After becoming famous, this woman has a bad temper and has made it difficult for several new directors to work with her.

Because of this matter, Young Gilbert had been scolding Naomi Watts a lot, and now she has become more restrained.

It seems that all Hollywood actresses who become famous have bad tempers, such as Charlize Theron, Nicole Kidman, Julia Roberts, etc.

Angelina Jolie even scolded her director to tears while filming "Tomb Raider", which shows that famous Hollywood actresses are very difficult to please.

This mentality is understandable. Not all female stars become famous overnight. Most of them have worked their way up from the bottom.

I have suffered so much contempt and injustice during this process that I cannot tell outsiders about it.

But after becoming famous, the change in mentality can easily lead to loss of control of temper, so the temper becomes worse.

A very strange thing is that Hollywood male stars usually have better tempers than female stars. This may be because it is easier for male stars to succeed than for female stars!
