Chapter 370 Stop and Go
Starting from the pier in Los Angeles, we passed through Hawaii and experienced the customs and culture of the island volcanoes in Hawaii.

On this round-the-world trip, Gilbert Jr. brought Naomi Watts, Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Connelly, Scarlett Johansson and others.

Sophie Marceau was waiting in Hong Kong Island at this time, waiting for the yacht to pass by and then reuniting with little Gilbert and his group.

The yacht is large enough, unlike a small yacht that can be driven out by itself, so it still needs a captain and crew to operate it.

This problem was easy to solve. When Jobs heard that Gilbert Jr. was going to travel around the world, he introduced a reliable crew team.

The captain and crew are on the lower deck area of ​​the yacht and will not go up to the upper area of ​​the yacht. There is also a reliable security team, so there is no major problem.

In addition, Noriko Sakai, Shizuka Kudo, and Norika Fujiwara also brought a few beauties from the island countries, including Kyoko Fukada, Satomi Ishihara, and others.

However, little Gilbert was dumbfounded when he saw the 16-year-old Ishihara Satomi, and asked Noriko Sakai: "Do you think I'm a pervert? Where did this come from?"

Noriko Sakai was very brave. She smiled and hugged Gilbert's arm and said, "She is a loyal fan of yours. She really likes your movies "The Sixth Sense" and "Chicago."

"Well!" Little Gilbert was a little surprised: "You're so young and you're watching such a profound movie?"

Ishihara Satomi was a little shy, but she still mustered up the courage to say, "But, it's really beautiful!"

"Okay!" Little Gilbert shrugged. Perhaps at the age of sixteen one can really appreciate the so-called artistic expression of movies.

Indeed, compared to Gilbert's other films, "The Sixth Sense" and "Chicago", although essentially commercial films, are undoubtedly closer to art films.

That's why Gilbert won his first Oscar for Best Director for "Chicago".

Although Noriko Sakai was very enthusiastic about introducing the beauties from the island country to little Gilbert, little Gilbert did not do anything for the new sisters as she expected.

As a human being, little Gilbert has the most basic human desires, including the pursuit of power, money, and beauty, which is normal.

Coincidentally, the Western society he lives in is the one where people least need to suppress their desires.

Especially for someone like him who belongs to the upper class, even the law can hardly do much to him.

But to be honest, little Gilbert doesn't want to become like those hypocritical beasts. Perhaps this is the only thing that makes him better than them.

Besides, even if they initially chose to keep Naomi Watts and others because of their beauty, more than ten years have passed, and they have grown close and become like family.

Perhaps, as little Gilbert watched the women enjoying the sweet fruit, he thought: Maybe a few children are needed?

Tom Cruise is still urging, he also wants to be a godfather, and asked Gilbert Jr. when he plans to have children. Life has reached a new stage, and there is no need to be shy.

Noriko Sakai didn't seem to be very interested in the Japanese beauties that Gilbert brought with her, and was still wondering: "Should we change the group? Or should we find some Korean beauties next time?"

On the contrary, Norika Fujiwara understood little Gilbert: "I think he may have grown out of this stage!"

"Really? You mean he's not interested in women? Is he interested in men?" Noriko Sakai shuddered.

If little Gilbert really likes someone, there are many handsome idol boys in the island country and she can introduce some to him.

Fujiwara Norika shook her head and said, "No, it may be more important for him to resonate with his soul now."

Noriko Sakai pouted: "Well, a big director is still very pretentious."

Those bigwigs in the island nation's political and business circles don't care about that, and they don't even want soul resonance. They just want physical resonance.

This round-the-world trip was quite enjoyable. The second stop of the trip was Anuwatu, a Pacific island country in the southern hemisphere.

Anuwatu is famous for its volcanoes, islands and tuna, and also has several world-class diving resorts.

It is said that lobsters often appear in the diving area here, so you can go and catch them.

Little Gilbert and his group visited the famous Yasur volcano and also visited a diving resort, but they did not catch any lobsters.

We did catch a few tunas, but none of them were as big as the one we caught in Hawaii.

According to locals, the tuna here is delicious and has a nice texture. The fish itself is rich in fish oil and has a sweet taste, making it a good choice for making tuna sashimi.

Apart from the bluefin tuna from the North Atlantic, the tuna here is the most popular among the islanders.

Therefore, you can see many fishing fleets from island countries here. Locals say that these islanders even kill whales that appear in nearby waters.

Although Anuwatu and several nearby Pacific island countries have jointly protested many times, the islanders still go their own way.

Anuwatu also has a special drink called kava, also known as drunk pepper. Locals often say that if you come to Anuwatu and don’t drink kava, you haven’t been there.

It sounds like a saying that one is not a true man if he has not been to the Great Wall, but because of its special taste, this drink is actually very popular among people who like it, but people who don’t like it can’t drink it at all.

Scarlett loves to drink this. She can usually drink a lot in one go. After drinking it, she feels absolutely refreshed and energetic.

On the contrary, little Gilbert started to feel dizzy after drinking it, and then vomited and had diarrhea, and he refused to drink this drink from then on. It is winter in the southern hemisphere now, but Anuwatu, which is close to the equator, is hot all year round, and several women can show off their figures.

Naomi Watts recently learned a new way, which is actually the same principle as the later popular young actresses who shared street photos on Weibo.

It’s just that it’s not that convenient now. You need to take a photo, import it into your laptop, and then open it on social networking sites to share it.

Several women did this and posted a lot of travel photos.

However, in addition to the fans' praises, there were more complaints from movie fans about little Gilbert.

"Why are you still on vacation?"

"Are you thinking about retirement at this age?"

"Come back to film soon, I want to watch The Lord of the Rings 4."

"Damn it, there are so many beauties. Can't they just go away and let little Gilbert go make a movie?"

"Dude, I thought you were envious of the many beauties around Director Gilbert, but I didn't expect you were afraid that they would delay Gilbert's filming."

"What? Isn't it possible?"

"Of course, in fact, I think so too."

In response to these comments, Gilbert Jr. replied: "Please stay tuned for other films from Cantaloupe Studios."

Entering June, Spider-Man's popularity continued unabated, and in its second week it retained the title of weekly box office champion with a box office of 7251.6 million U.S. dollars.

The second place is still "Star Wars Episode 2: Attack of the Clones", which earned 2256.9 million US dollars this week. The third place is "The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King", which took in 1993.3 million US dollars this week.

This week marks the sixth week since the release of "The Return of the King", and the box office still maintains a good curve and does not seem to have been greatly affected.

At this time, the film's North American box office has accumulated 5.26 million US dollars, and the global box office has accumulated to 14.39 billion US dollars.

For three consecutive years, the box office of his three films exceeded one billion US dollars, and Gilbert Jr. completely established his position as the king of commercial films at the box office.

Of course, this will not be the end of the film, although the wave of movie-watching has passed and it has entered a stage where it relies on time to accumulate box office revenue.

However, internal forecasts from Disney and Warner both suggest that The Return of the King will gross $6.2 million in North America and more than $17 billion to $18 billion worldwide.

Whether it can surpass "Titanic" depends on luck.

Gilbert Jr. also spoke with James Cameron on the phone and said that his new movie was about to break the record he set.

James Cameron himself didn't care much about this matter. He was busy playing with 3D technology at the time, and the prototype of the "Avatar" story was born.

In the latest call, James Cameron sought the support of Gilbert Jr., and Gilbert Jr. certainly supported him.

After all, this is "Avatar", a movie that has caused a global revolution in film technology.

Just like "Titanic", this movie is not something that Gilbert can touch casually, and it really needs James Cameron to complete it.

The reason is simple. Although the "Lord of the Rings" series is called the benchmark of the Hollywood film industry, it all uses mature technical systems.

But "Avatar" is different. It uses a lot of new technologies and technologies, many of which are unheard of.

These technologies did not appear out of thin air, nor were they taught by the Trisolarans. Instead, they were achieved slowly, step by step, through years of practice and research and development.

So what Gilbert has to do is actually very simple, which is to fund those who are researching and developing technology. Once they succeed, he will also enjoy certain benefits.

For example, Gilbert Jr. has been paying attention to the development of IMAX cameras by IMAX. After several iterations, IMAX cameras can now be used in film shooting.

Gilbert Jr. plans to wait for the right time to use an IMAX camera to shoot a movie.

He has always loved the IMAX format, and the enjoyment of watching movies in an IMAX theater is simply incomparable. Perhaps one day movie theaters will become obsolete, and the way movies exist will also change.

But Gilbert Jr. feels that there is no better place to showcase the charm of movies than the IMAX theater.

After spending a few days in Anuwatu, the yacht continued south to Australia.

Tom Cruise and his wife were already waiting here. Tom Cruise loved hunting, and he invited Gilbert Jr. to go to the Kidman family's farm and estate to satisfy his hunting addiction.

Little Gilbert caught a lot of fish, but it was the first time for him to try hunting. Especially when he touched the hunting rifle for the first time, he was actually a little nervous.

Although he has filmed many action movies with gun battles and explosions before, Gilbert Jr. is far inferior to Tom Cruise in using guns.

Tom Cruise was very professional and acted as a temporary instructor, teaching little Gilbert how to operate.
