Chapter 457 This Family

At the celebration party, Gilbert Jr. also met Peter Jackson and the two chatted for a while.

"The preparations for the King Kong project are going smoothly, and we expect to start filming next year." Peter Jackson talked about his project.

"King Kong" is a remake, and according to Peter Jackson, it is a remake that tells an ancient story with better pictures.

Indeed, although the old version of "King Kong" is also considered a classic, it is outdated after all.

Without the Lord of the Rings series, Peter Jackson's path as a director would not have been smooth. The King Kong project dragged on for several years before the news of its launch came out.

Speaking of which, little Gilbert also contributed to this.

After the Lord of the Rings series ended, Gilbert Jr. still had The Hobbit in his hands, and at that time Gilbert Jr. recommended that Peter Jackson take over.

Of course this matter could not be kept secret. Everyone in Hollywood knew that Peter Jackson was going to shoot "The Hobbit" series, and Universal Pictures naturally knew it as well.

So the "King Kong" project was successfully approved and Naomi Watts also planned to join the filming, and she would be the leading female role.

Little Gilbert was still very concerned about this project: "Peter, you can't make Naomi look ugly. You know, she has been very concerned about her figure recently."

Peter Jackson laughed and said, "Don't worry, I don't even have to shoot it deliberately, it's beautiful."

This celebration party was just a small episode, and of course, reporters were interviewed. However, the reporters were not interested in the celebration party itself, but wanted to ask about the sequels of "Warriors of the Caribbean" and "Pirates of the Caribbean".

Gilbert Jr. also talked about this: "Of course there will be a sequel to Pirates of the Caribbean, and the story of Captain Jack Sparrow will not end."

When talking about the project "The Invincibles", Gilbert Jr. said: "The cooperation between Hanks and Cruise is quite smooth. I believe this is a wonderful enough story and the audience will like it."

Naturally, the two Toms also accepted interviews, and praised each other, saying that it was very enjoyable to act with each other.

This is natural. It's impossible for the two of them to dislike each other, right?
Besides, it's not that they really don't like each other. Sometimes the competition between celebrities is just like that. Male stars always stop at the right time, unlike the female stars who fight with each other.

Before Christmas, "Wushuang" was successfully completed in Mexico.

After that, Gilbert Jr. returned to Los Angeles, but did not immediately start post-production. Instead, he spent Christmas at home.

Over the years, little Gilbert has become accustomed to Christmas becoming the most important holiday of the year, and the original Spring Festival has gradually been forgotten.

This year's Christmas was no different from usual. Ivanka rejected Gilbert Jr.'s invitation and returned to New York to spend Christmas with Donald.

Little Gilbert did not make things difficult for his female assistant. It was really inhumane to ask her to work during the Christmas holidays.

Of course, this does not mean that there will be fewer people at home. Noriko Sakai and Norika Fujiwara have become pregnant one after another. They have come to Los Angeles from the island country to take care of their fetuses and have been living at home for more than half a month.

One day, Xingzi's stepdaughter Yahui was not feeling well and went for a check-up. The result of the examination was positive, which made little Master Gilbert very happy.

Yahui and Lily came to serve little Gilbert under the pretext of studying in North America. They ended up in bed while serving him, so it was normal for them to get pregnant.

With four more pregnant women at once, everyone in the manor was extremely busy.

Except for Charlize Theron, who is not very eager to have children, the rest of the girls, including Jennifer Connelly, Anne Hathaway, Scarlett Johansson, etc., are very eager to learn from their sisters.

After hearing about it, Liv Tyler simply stayed in the manor and refused to leave. On the night before Christmas Eve, she and Scarlett played with little Gilbert, not missing any opportunity.

However, on Christmas Eve, this unruly girl was called back by her father, Stephen Taylor.

Stephen Taylor had no objection to his daughter's choice. Perhaps his brain circuit was abnormal for playing rock music, and he didn't think it would be a disadvantage for her to follow little Gilbert without any status.

Besides, little Gilbert has so many assets. If he has children in the future, he will get some of the assets.

Stephen Taylor's idea seems to be the same as that of ancient Chinese feudal society, but it is indeed the case. Western society itself is a society of the survival of the fittest. A powerful figure like Gilbert Jr. will never be considered wrong no matter what he does.

After a sumptuous Christmas dinner, although the winter in Los Angeles was not too cold, everyone still talked in the living room with a fireplace.

In Liv Tyler's absence, little Gilbert's arms were occupied by the youngest girl, Scarlett.

Several pregnant women gathered around Naomi Watts to ask for advice. Ilian, who couldn't walk yet, had been sent upstairs to sleep.

Charlize Theron, Anne Hathaway and Jennifer Connelly talked about the funny stories of the two Toms on the set, and laughter could be heard from time to time.

Little Gilbert held Scarlett in his arms, watching this scene, and actually saw a strange sense of harmony.

It is estimated that this Christmas is the time when most girls gather together. After the initial awkwardness, everyone has become familiar with each other.

Naomi Watts seemed to have anticipated this, and when all the girls gathered together, she showed her ladylike demeanor and arranged everything in an orderly manner so as not to cause trouble to little Gilbert.

Scarlett had nothing to do, so she played with little Gilbert's hair.

Little Gilbert slapped Scarlett's hand away and asked her, "Scarlett, what have you been busy with lately?"

Scarlett tilted her head and replied, "Following Sofia to promote and prepare for the Oscars. By the way, Sofia told me to tell you, don't forget to vote for her."

"Of course," Gilbert Jr. agreed. He supported his good friend's Oscar dream.

Scarlett was also very curious: "Do you think Sofia can get an Oscar nomination?"

Gilbert Jr. thought for a while and said, "I think it's unlikely to win, but it won't be a problem to get a nomination."

"That's great. A nomination means hope." Scarlett was satisfied but she thought about her own affairs again: "By the way, when will you ask me to make a movie again?"

"Isn't Director Nolan looking for you to film a movie?" Little Gilbert asked with a smile.

"That 'The Prestige'?" Scarlett curled her lips: "I read the script, it doesn't seem very exciting."

"Hahaha," Gilbert said. It was the first time he heard someone say that Nolan's script was not exciting enough. However, he had read the project of "The Prestige" and felt that he could support it.

Nolan missed the chance to direct the "Batman" series, but that did not stop him from continuing to shoot his other films.

And Gilbert Jr. did not do anything too extreme. After all, Nolan is now working closely with Cantaloupe Studios, so he only snatched "Inception" and left the rest to Nolan.

According to Nolan's plan, "The Prestige" will start shooting in March or April next year, so Nolan tried his best to persuade Scarlett to participate in this project.

Scarlett obviously didn't want to go, but Gilbert Jr. still persuaded her: "Scarlett, I think this project is good and it's suitable for you to participate."

"really?"

"Of course it's true. Can I still lie to you?"

Little Gilbert pondered for a while and then said, "Well, when you have time, you might as well read more Marvel comics and read Iron Man."

"Are you asking me to play Pepper Potts?" Scarlett was obviously interested in superheroes.

"Of course not," Gilbert Jr. said, "The role of Black Widow is very suitable for you. I will push Marvel Pictures to release a solo movie of Black Widow."

Scarlett was even happier: "Little Gilbert, you know, as long as you need me, I will never refuse you."

Little Gilbert shrugged. This girl, she said something nice, but he didn't know who the girl with the temper was...
