Chapter 42 The party thing

The film "Earth Ambition" is distributed by Universal Pictures, so it is inevitable that it will encounter the senior management of Universal Pictures.

Little Gilbert had a few words with Universal Pictures Vice President Lew Wasser, mainly because Lew Wasser was very concerned about the "Death is Coming" project.

"Little Gilbert, to be honest, I never thought that Disney would take this project away from me." Lou Vassell looked regretful.

Little Gilbert said: "Mr. Vasseur, the conditions for opening Disney are really good and the opportunity is rare, so..."

"Needless to say, I understand," Lou Vasseur interrupted Gilbert Jr. and said his purpose: "I just hope that in the next movie, you don't forget about us, Universal Pictures.

Don’t forget the foundation of our first collaboration…”

What this means is that your first opportunity to direct a film was given to you by Universal Pictures. You must not forget your roots!
  It's a pity that these words don't work for little Gilbert. In his opinion, the success of the film is inevitable.

Universal Pictures is willing to invest because Universal Pictures was lucky enough to find itself.

Besides, the person who should be most grateful is Spielberg. Without him, little Gilbert would still be struggling as the executive director!
  That’s what I think, but I can’t say that.

Little Gilbert could only say: "In the future, we will have many opportunities for cooperation."

"Well, for the next project, you must give priority to our Universal Pictures."

"sure……"

Why is Lou Vasseur so anxious? Because there is news from within Touchstone Pictures. Gilbert Jr.'s new film "Death" is a very good horror movie.

Just as there are many spies planted by other companies within Universal Pictures, Universal also has spies planted by other companies.

Although the specific content of the film is not known, Touchstone Pictures was full of praise for the film internally, and the news spread quickly.

As long as there is one successful experience, the film company will have great confidence in little Gilbert.

Especially Universal Pictures, which has tasted the joy brought by little Gilbert's success.

Now, this joy is about to belong to Touchstone Pictures and Disney. This makes Universal Pictures feel that something that belongs to them has been taken away, and of course they want to take it back.

Such a change is actually a good thing for little Gilbert.

As long as the film succeeds again as expected, the conditions for his next film can be even higher.

At that time, due to the competition among many film companies, it is difficult to guarantee that no film company as hungry as Touchstone Pictures will directly agree to the conditions proposed by Gilbert Jr.

After talking to Lou Vasseur, little Gilbert took a glass of wine and walked around the party.

There are many types of parties with many functions. The party held by Tom Cruise is a private party, and people who have not received an invitation cannot come.

Media reporters were also not allowed inside, but they were hiding outside the door to take photos.

Celebrities and reporters complement each other. Celebrities need exposure, while reporters need to follow popular celebrities.

There is also a party organized by the film company, which is more formal than a private party, and the guests attending must also attend in formal attire.

But there is another kind of party that many people who have a good time want to go to, and that is a multi-person sports party.

This party can satisfy the most primitive desires of human beings, including marijuana, drugs, women, and even men, neither men nor women...

There is a leather bag agency in Hollywood that specializes in providing beautiful girls and handsome boys for such parties.

After he became famous, he often received invitations to such parties, but little Gilbert was not interested in such parties.

He has no interest in men, let alone men or women, and has no intention of sharing a woman with other men.

After Gwyneth Paltrow fell in love, Gilbert Jr. never contacted her again.

Cameron Diaz seems very honest. If she dares to attend such a party one day, if Little Gilbert finds out, he will kick her out without hesitation. Although I don’t have mysophobia and I can’t care about the past, but since I’m following him, I must be honest.

And little Gilbert is not forced to stay. He can leave anytime he wants, but it is not that easy to come back.

It is estimated that Cameron Diaz also understands little Gilbert's character, although when he first came to Los Angeles, he often attended some messy parties under the arrangement of his agent.

But now, she basically doesn't go anymore.

Accordingly, Gilbert Jr. takes care of Cameron Diaz. Like a formal party, little Gilbert will bring Cameron Diaz to attend.

And it's justifiable, after all, he and Cameron Diaz are now lovers in Disney's gossip tabloids.

While wandering around, little Gilbert suddenly noticed a person in the corner.

Compared to the glamorous crowd around her, she looked extremely shabby. The dress and jewelry she wore looked like they were rented, a bit ill-fitting, and the price didn't look expensive.

But this cannot conceal her beauty, and her petite figure seems to contain huge energy.

But this was not the focus of little Gilbert's attention. He just felt that this beauty looked familiar.

In his previous life, he was no longer involved in Hollywood. Except for a few well-known Hollywood goddesses, the rest of Little Gilbert basically had a rough impression.

Either I know the name but not what it looks like, or the appearance doesn’t match the name.

When he was interested, little Gilbert went over to say hello with a glass of wine: "Are you alone?"

The girl was obviously shocked. She didn't expect anyone to greet her, but she still showed a sweet smile: "Yes, you are?"

Before Little Gilbert could introduce himself, the girl reacted: "I remembered, you are director Gilbert Landrini Little, and I have seen your movie "Shark Beach".

Hello, I'm Naomi Watts. "

"Hello, Miss Watts," little Gilbert invited Naomi Watts to sit down on the sofa in the corner and asked, "You are not a local, are you? Your accent doesn't sound like it."

"No, I'm British. I worked in Australia before and just came to Los Angeles this year." Naomi Watts has a nice voice, as sweet as herself.

"Australia? Are you and Miss Kidman?"

"She's my friend and we've made movies together."

"That's it," little Gilbert suddenly realized: "It seems that your Australian gang is getting stronger again."

Although she is British, she developed in Australia after all. Little Gilbert is right to say that she is an Australian gangster.

Nowadays, the Australian gang includes Mel Gibson and Nicole Kidman. They are also very united and their power is actually not small.

Naomi Watts smiled bitterly and said: "Compared to Nicole, I am far behind. After coming to Los Angeles for half a year, I could only work in bars and restaurants, look for audition opportunities, and play some unknown small roles..."

Unable to make ends meet and living in straits, this is Naomi Watts's recent situation.

Many people come to Los Angeles every year to pursue their dreams, but few succeed. Naomi Watts has almost given up hope and plans to return to Australia for development.

She said goodbye to her good friend Nicole Kidman a few days ago, but Nicole Kidman told her to wait a little longer and invited her to attend today's party.

And this party really gave her a surprise. Little Gilbert, now a well-known Hollywood director, actually took the initiative to talk to her.

For Naomi Watts, this is a rare opportunity.

　I really want to show off, who can give me a punch and let me code...
