Chapter 371 New Players New Movie
"Hunting rifles use shotgun bullets, so you don't need to have high shooting accuracy, but the recoil is a bit strong. But with your arm strength, control shouldn't be a problem.

When you find prey, try shooting it first."

The two men walked along the woods. Several hunting dogs sometimes rushed out and howled, and sometimes ran back and circled around their owner.

The leading hound pricks up its ears and uses its keen hearing and sense of smell to help its owner find prey.

Just as the sun passed overhead, the leading hound suddenly barked and directed the rest of the hounds to rush in one direction.

After a while, the howling of hounds and the cries of animals were heard. Several wild deer were frightened and rushed out from the bushes.

The hounds were well-trained and drove the wild deer towards Gilbert Jr. and Tom Cruise.

"Here's my chance," Tom Cruise motioned to Gilbert Jr. to prepare to shoot.

Little Gilbert leaned against a fallen tree, placed his shotgun on it, loaded it and fired a shot. However, the huge recoil caused the muzzle to fly off, and no one knew where the shot went.

Little Gilbert quickly fired a second shot, and this time he was lucky and hit a deer.

The rest of the deer fled in all directions and disappeared, but the deer that was shot ran for several hundred meters and was exhausted after being chased by hunting dogs. It was bleeding and injured and could not move.

"Well done, little Gilbert. Let's go see what you caught," Tom Cruise exclaimed.

Little Gilbert sighed and thought that he was lucky as he hit the target with the second shot. It was definitely a lucky shot.

The two men rushed to the deer's last location, with the hounds guarding it.

"Well done," Tom Cruise took out a few pieces of meat from the bag and gave them to the hounds as rewards, then went forward to check the prey.

"Not bad, this is a sika deer. It should not be released from a farm. It must be the second generation of wild sika deer." Tom Cruise said.

Deer farming is popular on Australian ranches, where they were originally introduced as hunting animals for entertainment.

But unexpectedly, some deer escaped later, resulting in the current rampant population of wild deer, which has caused great harm to the local ecological environment.

Due to the lack of natural enemies, wild deer are lawless, so the Australian government often organizes deer hunting seasons, hoping that humans can fill a link in the food chain.

But judging from the effect, it doesn’t feel that good.

Gilbert Jr. looked at the beautiful pattern of the deer and said to Tom Cruise, "You can keep the antlers and the skin as a souvenir.

The venison is for him to eat tonight."

"Of course," Tom Cruise informed the workers at the hunting ground, and someone immediately came over to transport the deer away for disposal.

They have plenty of experience and don't need little Gilbert to worry about.

Of course, if Gilbert wants to do it himself, it's not impossible. But it requires skills and techniques. Gilbert has only handled chickens, not deer.

After collecting the prey, Gilbert Tom Cruise Jr. continued hunting.

Maybe the last shot had used up all his luck for the day, and little Gilbert had nothing to gain from then on.

He was lucky to get the gun before. Now, even if the prey stood motionless ten meters in front of little Gilbert, he couldn't hit it.

Compared to the novice Gilbert Jr., Tom Cruise had a bit of Ethan Hunt's style and easily hunted several rabbits and a fat wild boar.

As the sun sets, the hunting activity comes to a successful conclusion.

Although I can’t say that I gained a lot, I didn’t return empty-handed either.

After the hunting activity, Gilbert Jr. and Tom Cruise drove back to the holiday farm and enjoyed the scenery along the way.

Tom Cruise also introduced: "This place and a large piece of land nearby are all owned by the Kidman family. How does it feel?"

Little Gilbert nodded and said, "It's great to have a farm like this, which is suitable for retirement."

"Hahaha, indeed," Tom Cruise laughed, "I heard that they are planning to sell the land near Sydney. If you are interested, you can ask Mary to contact them."

Although Nicole Kidman also has the last name Kidman, her blood relationship with the Kidman family is very distant, so she can be considered a distant relative.

However, after Nicole Kidman became famous, the Kidman family still took the initiative to contact her. This is the celebrity effect.

Little Gilbert thought about it for a while, then shook his head and said, "Forget it. The main reason is that I may not have the time. I'm very busy at work."

"Speaking of work," Tom Cruise said with anticipation, "The last time we worked together on Chicago, it was quite pleasant. I've been thinking that we can continue to work together."

It is indeed a pleasure that "Chicago" earned Tom Cruise an Oscar for Best Actor. In his previous life, Tom Cruise did not have an Oscar for Best Actor.

Perhaps Tom Cruise, in his previous life, no longer needed the Oscar for Best Actor to prove himself, but now Tom Cruise still needs this award.

"By some chance, Tom, and, are you sure you have time soon?"

Tom Cruise thought about it. He had Minority Report coming out soon, and he also had other projects like The Last Samurai, Collateral, and Mission: Impossible 3 on hand, so he really didn't have time. Gilbert said, "But you should still make a time slot between 05 and 06. I think there is a project that we are very suitable for cooperation."

Tom Cruise was delighted: "That's great, we have a deal."

"It's a word."

After staying in Australia for three days, Gilbert Jr. and Tom Cruise and his wife went their separate ways and headed north to Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam and other regions.

Then he met Sophie Marceau in Hong Kong Island, and then went to Sri Lanka, Maldives and other places together.

Sophie Marceau's development in Hollywood was not smooth, but she is undoubtedly very popular when she returns to Europe.

At the Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong Island, Sophie Marceau unscrupulously displayed her beauty in front of little Gilbert, and they also strolled around the streets of Hong Kong Island together.

After that, we went to Sri Lanka, experienced the special milk tea there, and went on a gem-hunting journey.

I originally wanted to visit India and see the Taj Mahal, but the Indian port temporarily refused to allow the yacht to dock at the Mumbai pier and required that I change to a ship with Indian nationality.

Considering the poor condition of the Indian ship, for safety reasons, little Gilbert did not board the Indian ship and set off directly to Dubai.

The route of this round-the-world trip is basically concentrated in coastal cities.

All the way across, through the Red Sea and the Suez Canal, into the Mediterranean, then to the Atlantic Ocean, and finally through the Panama Canal, back to Los Angeles.

It can be said that this is a rather luxurious private trip. After all, if you want to take such a round-the-world trip, you must first own a large yacht.

While young Gilbert was traveling around the world, the film market was booming.

Although Spider-Man is very popular, the momentum will not last forever.

In mid-June, "The Matrix Revolutions" directed by James Gunn and starring Keanu Reeves and Charlize Theron was officially released.

As the final chapter of the classic science fiction film "The Matrix", although the film abandoned the pretentious science fiction settings and discussions of philosophy and religion in the first film, it is clearly more commercial.

But the advantage of doing this is that it retains most of the fans.

James Gunn still received a lot of criticism, and many fans who like to research believe that James Gunn completely ruined "The Matrix" series.

However, the box office of "The Matrix" in North America in its first weekend was $9235.8 million, which proved the correctness of the commercialization direction.

No matter how critics and media who insist on the concept of art and so-called complex movies disparage "The Matrix Revolutions", they cannot ignore one fact.

That is, in the film market, simple movies often sell better than complex movies.

The reason is very simple, the audience comes to the cinema to relax, not to get tired. So many times, it is enough to stimulate their adrenaline and make them excited.

Those movies that seem complicated but sell well are actually very simple and direct in nature, which directly stimulates the senses of movie fans, such as the first "The Matrix".

The weekend after The Matrix Revolutions, the science fiction thriller Minority Report, directed by Spielberg and starring Tom Cruise, was released.

In the past two years, Spielberg has directed films such as "Artificial Intelligence" and "Minority Report".

Minority Report is that kind of complex movie, which has been praised by critics and even surpassed The Matrix.

For example, Kenneth Turan, who has always criticized Gilbert Jr., praised "Minority Report" in his column, and he seemed to be praising the movie to the extreme.

"Minority Report is a thriller that doesn't insult your intelligence and is even better than The Matrix.

Like "The Matrix", it has the thought-provoking characteristics of an excellent science fiction film. At the same time, it is also a dazzling action movie that constantly stimulates your visual and auditory organs.

So watch this film with your eyes and ears, and your head.

Every aspect of "Minority Report" is amazing, and the actors' performances are no exception.

Spielberg's casting is perfect, every small role shines, Colin Farrell is likely to steal Brad Pitt's job, and Tang Liang has found an opportunity to fully blossom.

Of course, he won’t take home an Oscar, but this role certainly allows him to fully display his charm and potential.”

Although Kenneth Turan praised the movie highly, "Minority Report" grossed $4577 million in its first week, losing to "The Matrix Revolutions", which took in $5692 million this week.

For Spielberg and Tom Cruise, the first week box office performance was not satisfactory, but the film's reputation was good enough.

Tom Cruise, who is not troubled by divorce, still has appeal. You know, the box office of this movie in its first week was less than 3500 million US dollars in its previous life, but now it has increased by more than million.

Thanks to Tom Cruise's fame, the movie now has an additional 10 million dollars in first week box office revenue, which is a huge profit.

After "The Matrix 3" and "Minority Report", other competitive films this year include "The Mystery of the Spell", "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", "Died Tomorrow", "Ice Age", "Men in Black 007" and so on.

However, it is difficult for these films to pose a threat to the box office champion title of "The Return of the King". It seems that Gilbert Jr. is going to achieve three consecutive North American and global box office championships.
