Chapter 412 Summer's Rival

After giving birth, Naomi Watts also actively carried out rehabilitation, mainly focusing on losing weight and regaining her figure.

Ordinary families may have to consider taking care of children, but Cantaloupe Manor has professional nannies, and the housekeeper Xingzi is an expert in taking care of children.

After hearing that Naomi Watts had given birth to a child, Noriko Sakai hired a professional nanny from the island country.

Little Gilbert also couldn't understand what the relationship was between this nanny and the islanders.

But I heard that the upper class in North America likes to find nannies from island countries, just like people in Hong Kong like to find Filipino maids. Maybe they provide more decent service?

As for Naomi Watts, Peter Jackson is waiting for her to start work and join the "King Kong" crew.

According to the plan, the film will start shooting in August or September, and if it goes well, it will be able to catch up with next year's summer vacation.

Naomi Watts has lost a lot of popularity after being silent for so long due to her pregnancy. She really needs a hit commercial film to regain her lost popularity.

As a remake of a classic movie, Gilbert Jr. feels that this "King Kong" still has the potential to be a qualified commercial film, and there is no problem in letting Naomi Watts star in it.

In addition, because the first "Ocean's 8" performed well, director Steven Soderbergh plans to make a sequel, and Naomi Watts will return to make a cameo appearance.

As for Cameron Diaz, although she plans to turn to behind-the-scenes work as a producer, her most recent film appearances are "Gangs of New York" and "Charlie's Angels 2", which is scheduled to be released in the summer.

It's okay for her to make a movie occasionally for fun. It just so happened that little Gilbert mentioned the movie "National Treasure" to her last time.

Cameron Diaz was very interested and accepted the invitation to review the film.

The film stars Nicolas Cage, who worked with Gilbert Jr. in "The Rock" and is Sofia Coppola's cousin.

But I heard from Sofia Coppola that Nicolas Cage has recently fallen into a financial crisis. It seems that Cage is not having an easy time!

Charlize Theron was very satisfied after winning the Oscar for Best Actress, and has stopped all commercial activities and endorsement announcements.

She took on several projects on her own, including "The Terminal" with great director Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks.

Although it is a movie produced by DreamWorks, competition is competition, and it does not limit the cooperation between Hollywood stars and Spielberg.

I heard that producer Laurie MacDonald preferred Catherine Zeta-Jones, but Spielberg ultimately chose Charlize Theron, probably because of Gilbert Jr.

Miss Jones has done very well in the past two years. Although she was ultimately unable to move into Cantaloupe Manor, she successfully took root in Hollywood after becoming famous in "Chicago".

However, a few months ago, there was news about her and Oscar-winning actor Anthony Hopkins, but I don’t know whether it was true or false.

I heard that Miss Jones and Rachel Weisz reunited and laughed away their grudges, becoming good sisters again.

Maybe it's normal that all the British gangs in Hollywood need to stick together.

The roles Jennifer Connelly takes on are basically romance films and comedies, such as the upcoming "2 First Dates" with Adam Sandler, and she also does dubbing work for "Shrek the Monsters".

Anne Hathaway has taken on two films, "A Cinderella Story" from Warner and "The Phantom of the Opera" from Universal Pictures.

For the popular Anne Hathaway, getting the leading roles in these two small-scale movies is not a problem at all.

As long as she wants to act, producers and directors will basically not consider other candidates.

As for Scarlett, after filming Lost in Translation, she mainly played supporting roles or played with Illian. But she couldn't be idle for long, and a chick flick called The Girl Called Me found her.

After reading the script, Scarlett liked the story very much, so she took on the film and worked with Rachel McAdams.

In addition, after the failure of "Gangs of New York", Martin Scorsese continued to strive for the Oscars and prepared another movie called "The Aviator", which tells the legendary story of Howard Hughes.

Leonardo DiCaprio stars in this movie, Cate Blanchett, known as the Hollywood devil, joins the film, and Scarlett also joins in the fun, making a cameo appearance.

It was Gilbert Jr. who pushed Scarlett over. If one wants to become an Oscar winner, besides the right time, place, people and luck, necessary preparation is also essential.

Acting in a movie that gets nominated for an Oscar is one way to gain seniority.

The careers of several women are developing quite well, and they can do very well on their own without much care from little Gilbert.

After Ilian was born, Gilbert Jr. didn't have to worry too much, so he focused again on promoting "Pirates of the Caribbean".

He appeared on several shows with main actors such as Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, and Keira Knightley to do some promotional work.

During the show, the topic of conversation inevitably came up with the child Ilian.

At this time, little Gilbert smiled and said: "I think my father will be very happy that the Landrini family has a successor.

I was also very happy. When Ilian came out of the delivery room, I felt that the world suddenly changed color. "

The host asked, "Do you prefer boys or girls?"

If this question is asked in 20 years, the host will be criticized by boxers and minority groups. But it is not so magical now, it is a normal question.

Little Gilbert thought for a moment and replied, "Personally, I prefer girls."

"Oh?" The host was curious and asked, "Why?"

"There's a saying that goes, 'a daughter is her father's lover in his previous life', I think that makes a lot of sense." Gilbert Jr. smiled and explained why he likes his daughter. "That's true," the host, who is also a father, agreed: "I have three children, two boys and one girl.

I like my daughter more and treat her as a princess. Maybe she was my lover in my previous life!"

The two fathers discussed their experiences of being fathers without paying attention to the people around them, while everyone else was confused.

Are we here to promote a movie? Or are we here to attend a parent talk show or a parent-child program?
On another show, the host was also very concerned about children's issues and taught little Gilbert some tips and experiences on being a father, such as how to educate children.

The host also asked Gilbert Jr.: "If you have a daughter in the future and she finds a boyfriend, what will you do?"

Little Gilbert thought for a moment and said, "I will break her legs..."

The host was stunned for a moment, then agreed: "I might make the same choice as you."

Although this is just a joke, it fully reflects the mentality of fathers. Compared with sons who need rough training, everyone thinks that daughters need to be pampered.

Of course, Gilbert Jr. currently only has one son, so it’s not time to worry about a daughter yet.

Although discussing family and children is a popular topic and the audience loves to listen to it, the main purpose of the show is to promote the movie.

"Pirates of the Caribbean" has been scheduled to be released on May 2nd, the beginning of the summer season.

It has almost become a routine that in recent years Gilbert Jr.'s films have always been the blockbusters that kick off the summer season.

Little Gilbert has been the North American box office champion and the global box office champion for three consecutive years. This time, "Pirates of the Caribbean" is also coming in strong and should not be underestimated.

But to some extent, although the story of "Pirates of the Caribbean" comes from pirate ships, it is actually an original movie.

As we all know, adapted movies and sequels are usually more successful than original movies. This is why production companies are more keen on making sequels and adapted movies rather than original movies.

Apart from anything else, Cantaloupe Studios receives a lot of original scripts every year, all of which hope to be noticed by Gilbert Jr.

But because it is an original work and the risks are uncontrollable, I have been stuck in the script library of Melon Studio until now.

So it is not unreasonable for some people to think that Gilbert Jr.'s career has declined after "The Return of the King". After all, original movies are not "The Lord of the Rings" and the risks are huge.

However, these people have forgotten that when Gilbert Jr. wanted to shoot "The Lord of the Rings", they also said that it would be very difficult to adapt "The Lord of the Rings" and there was a risk of failure.

But now that "The Lord of the Rings" series has become one of the most profitable film series in the world, the risks faced in the early stages of the film have been overlooked.

Let’s take a look at the rivals of this summer’s “Pirates of the Caribbean.”

After seeing that "Pirates of the Caribbean" was scheduled for release, 2th Century Fox immediately announced the release date for "X-Men ", which would be the weekend after "Pirates of the Caribbean".

In addition, "Bruce Almighty" released by Universal Pictures is also scheduled to be released on May 23rd.

It is worth mentioning that this movie is a collaboration between Jim Carrey and Jennifer Connelly, with Morgan Freeman also participating.

Since "The Mask", Jim Carrey has been a top comedian in Hollywood, and the comedy movies he stars in are always a contender for the summer season.

Another competitive work is "Finding Nemo", which is the last work signed by Pixar Animation Studios and Disney for distribution.

"Finding Nemo" is scheduled to be released at the end of May. After the release of this film, Pixar Animation Studios will become a hot commodity in Hollywood.

Robert Iger approached Jobs several times, wanting to take over Pixar Animation Studios.

But the interests involved were complicated, and with other major Hollywood companies competing for the deal, Jobs was in an advantageous position and was in no hurry to sell Pixar.

When someone reaches Jobs' level, he would not lack money, and he would inevitably adopt a share exchange plan.

In addition, this summer, "Bad Boys 2" directed by Michael Bay will be released.

Previously, Michael Bay was praised for his head-on confrontation with Gilbert Jr., but after "Pearl Harbor", no one thought that Michael Bay could be compared with Gilbert Jr.

After so many years, Gilbert Jr. has long become a master of film art. As for Michael Bay, he is still only good at making explosive movies, and the audience is really tired of it.

However, Michael Bay still has hope, as the "Transformers" project that Gilbert Jr. failed to get fell into the hands of Sky Studios.

Sky Studios has a close collaboration with Michael Ovitz, and Michael Ovitz will definitely let Michael Bay direct "Transformers" when the time comes.

In addition to "Bad Boys 2", this summer also includes films such as "2 Fast 3 Furious" and "Rush Hour " produced by Cantaloupe Studios.

Jackie Chan is now a top star in Hollywood. Compared with Li Lianjie, who also ventured into Hollywood at the same time, Jackie Chan is undoubtedly doing better, probably because he has the support of Gilbert Jr.

"Rush Hour 3" is the final chapter of the series, but Cheng Long has another project, "Mystery of the Talisman 2", coming up.

The previous film, "The Talisman," achieved a box office of 5.62 million US dollars, which is a very good result for an original adventure fantasy film.

This is also the highest-grossing film starring Chinese actors.

Given the good response to the previous film, the sequel is scheduled to be put on the agenda this summer. And it has to be fast, otherwise Shu Chang, who plays Xiaoyu, will have to grow up.
