Chapter 380 Happy Events in Life
After July and August, the smoke of the North American summer season will soon dissipate.

The biggest winner of this summer season is undoubtedly "The Return of the King", but "Spider-Man" produced and distributed by Sony Columbia Pictures is not bad either.

However, in terms of film companies, the biggest winners are undoubtedly Disney and Warner.

Thanks to Cantaloupe Studios' films such as "The Return of the King", "The Matrix 3" and "The Mystery of the Spell", the two companies' summer performance was very impressive.

This summer, with several films produced and released by Disney selling well, Robert Iger's position has become more secure.

Michael Eisner officially announced his resignation as chairman of Disney in July, completing a smooth retirement. This was different from his previous life, when Michael Eisner's retirement was very embarrassing.

All I can say is that with little Gilbert, even Michael Eisner's fate improved a lot.

After Michael Eisner retired, Robert Iger officially took over as chairman of Disney, achieving full control of Disney like his boss.

Of course, we should not forget the well digger.

In mid-August, Disney held a grand celebration party for the crew of "The Return of the King" and also celebrated Robert Iger's inauguration as Disney chairman.

The celebration banquet was held at Robert Egger's new villa, which was not far from the Melon Manor and was specially selected by Robert Egger.

At the celebration party, little Gilbert naturally became the focus of the party, and the enthusiastic gazes of many film company executives seemed to devour little Gilbert.

Gilbert Jr. attended the party with Cameron Diaz and Scarlett, but the other women were busy and unable to come.

Naomi Watts has been feeling unwell recently and has been feeling like vomiting, so she was allowed to rest at home.

Anne Hathaway, as a member of the "Lord of the Rings" crew, naturally came to the party. Also attending the party were the three little Harry Potter kids.

"Little Gilbert, congratulations!" As a close partner, Doug Walter would naturally attend such a celebration party.

"Thank you," Gilbert Jr. clinked glasses with Doug Walter and chatted briefly, mainly about the next project and the "Batman" project.

"As a small project, 'The Fault in Our Stars' is not suitable for release in the summer or in a highly competitive schedule. I think the November schedule is actually very good," said Gilbert Jr.

Doug Walter complimented: "In my opinion, even your small project is comparable to other big productions.

Don't you think so, Michelle, Scarlett?"

Cameron Diaz nodded: "Of course, Gilbert Jr.'s films have always been the most competitive works in the film market."

Scarlett pouted and said, "It's not a small project. I put in a lot of effort, okay?"

"Hahaha, good, good, it's a big project." Everyone laughed.

Obviously, everyone can see that "The Fault in Our Stars" is just a playful work by Gilbert Jr. to support Scarlett.

However, the investment in this movie is very low, and Gilbert Jr. only received a symbolic salary, so profitability will not be a problem. With Gilbert Jr.'s appeal, even if the North American box office is not good, it can still sell 70 to 80 million or even more than 100 million.

Doug Walter asked again with concern: "I heard that Naomi is sick. My private doctor is very good. Do you want to ask the private doctor to go over and see her?"

In North America, the upper class rarely goes to the hospital when they are sick, unless the hospital is owned by themselves.

Super-rich people like Gilbert Jr. usually have a trusted private doctor, which provides enough privacy and a high safety factor.

"Thank you," Little Gilbert declined Doug Walter's kindness: "The manor has a private doctor, but Naomi is very reluctant to see a doctor, and I can't force her.

Fortunately, it's not serious. I just feel nauseous and want to vomit recently."

Doug Walter's wife's eyes lit up when she heard the news: "Director Gilbert, has Naomi been craving sour food lately? Has her appetite increased?"

Little Gilbert was stunned: "How did you know?"

Doug Walter's wife looked as if she knew it: "That's right, Naomi is probably pregnant."

"Pregnant?" Little Gilbert's mind suddenly buzzed: "Pregnant?"

Seeing that little Gilbert's brain was out of order, Doug Walter quickly woke him up: "Are you okay?"

Little Gilbert came back to his senses and smiled, "It's okay, it's okay. No, I have to call Naomi and Kyoko."

“Hey, hey, don’t worry.” Doug’s wife is experienced: “Let Michelle go back first, you go back early later, I will send someone over tomorrow.

It's a lot of trouble when a woman is pregnant, so leave it to me."

"Yeah," Cameron Diaz was very envious. She also wanted to have a child. "I'll go back and let the doctor check it out first."

Little Gilbert thought about it and said to Scarlett, "Scarlett, you should go back with us."

"Yeah!" Scarlett said that she was also envious, but ever since she expressed her feelings to little Gilbert, little Gilbert still hasn't accepted her.

But it doesn't matter, it will be soon, after her birthday she will be an adult, and then she can be completely open and honest.

"What's going on?" Robert Egger had just accepted the congratulations and came over with his wife.

Mrs. Doug told Robert and his wife about Naomi Watts' pregnancy, and Robert Iger's eyes lit up immediately. "That's great, our great director's talent has finally been inherited by someone else," Robert Iger clapped his hands.

Little Gilbert signaled him to keep a low profile: "This is a family matter, I don't want too many people to know about it too soon."

"Understood," Robert Iger changed the subject: "Little Gilbert, how about I be the child's godfather?"

Doug Walter was unhappy: "Hey! Bob, I got here first, you have to wait in line."

"Queue? I'm the chairman and president of Disney, I have enough qualifications." Robert Iger began to compare status.

Doug Walter is indeed a little weaker in status, but Doug Walter is not giving in: "I can give my children the best education and give them the greatest support for whatever they want to do in the future."

Little Gilbert stopped it in time: "Okay, okay, okay, the baby isn't even born yet, let's stop arguing."

Even though it's still uncertain whether she's pregnant, Gilbert's unborn child already has Hollywood moguls as godfathers. It's conceivable how powerful the fathers of this child will be in the future.

By the way, Tom Cruise also wants to be the child's godfather.

Tom Cruise even said that if Gilbert Jr. gave birth to a boy, they would arrange a marriage. Apart from anything else, Suri, who inherited Nicole Kidman's looks, should be a beauty when she grows up.

Restraining his excitement, little Gilbert stayed until the end of the party, met with the Harry Potter trio, and then planned to go back to see Naomi.

He was already familiar with little Gilbert and Haley, who played Harry Potter, but he was not so familiar with the other two child actors.

"After Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets this year, this project will be suspended for two years, waiting for your voice change period to pass. I emphasize two points. First, you must insist on taking acting classes.

I don't want to see you perform badly in the next series of works, otherwise I will replace you without hesitation.

Second, you have to maintain your body shape and posture, and you can't suddenly become fat or thin. Also, you can't touch alcohol, cigarettes, or drugs, or get out of here, understand?"

The three young actors were silent, and kept saying that they understood.

Emma Watson, one of the three, looked at Gilbert and said in a sweet voice, "Director Gilbert, I feel like my acting teacher didn't teach me well.

I am not like Hailey. I have filmed with you before. Can I go to Cantaloupe Manor and listen to your guidance when I have time? "

It is normal for actors to let directors guide their acting skills. If they meet a good director, actors can give good performances and even win awards.

But if an actor encounters a director who doesn't know how to coach and doesn't have high demands, the actor may also deliver a disastrous performance.

Hearing what Emma Watson said, little Gilbert didn't think much about it and nodded in agreement: "Sure, you can come too."

The other two young actors were also happy and agreed immediately.

Only Emma Watson, who made this suggestion, was a little unhappy. She actually just wanted to receive guidance alone.

As a young actress, no matter how precocious Emma Watson is, she can never evolve into those deep-minded actresses in Hollywood.

The reason for making such a presumptuous proposal tonight actually came from the idea of ​​her agent and family.

The reason is simple, Scarlett is the role model that Emma Watson wants to emulate. Scarlett's story is well known in Hollywood. This little girl appeared on the set of Gilbert Jr. when she was very young.

It was also because of little Gilbert's care that Scarlett became a child star, and everything went smoothly without encountering any difficulties.

Although little Gilbert told others that Scarlett was his sister, it was just for fun and should not be taken seriously.

As Scarlett grew up, she became a beautiful lady. It stands to reason that such a beauty would attract many people's pursuit. This is how Hollywood works. Luxury cars, beauties, drugs, parties and sex are all indispensable.

But in fact, no one dared to pursue Scarlett. The reason was simple: they did not dare to offend little Gilbert.

The last person who dared to touch little Gilbert's woman was an arrogant guy named Mel Gibson. He is still in jail and no one knows when he will be released.

Little Gilbert is not a good guy. He is known as the Hollywood Smiling Tiger. People will be intoxicated by his smile and then unknowingly fall into the trap he sets.

Emma Watson's family and agent certainly know that if she can get support from Gilbert Jr., Emma's career will be much smoother.

If she could be loved by little Gilbert like Scarlett, she would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life and would have many film projects.

Little Gilbert is not a fool. On the contrary, having been in Hollywood for so long, he is certainly a smart man.

So he pulled the other two young actors over as well. Training them was one thing, but Emma Watson must not be allowed to feel relaxed or easy.

As for the rest, little Gilbert was too lazy to do any more.

After all, with his status and position, it was really cheap for him to plot against a small actor. If he got upset, he could just use his strength to defeat his opponent.

Although the party was still going on, little Gilbert couldn't stay any longer and hurriedly left the party after finishing his socializing.

At this time, the Muskmelon Manor was already filled with a festive atmosphere.
