Chapter 459 Women's Careers
Scarlett has a job since 2004, so the others will not be idle either.

After Charlize Theron expressed great interest in "Mad Max 4: Fury Road", Warner will not consider anyone else.

However, director George Miller's health did not improve and the project was delayed.

George Miller also suggested to Warner executives that if they couldn't wait, they could let Gilbert Jr. take over the project.

But Gilbert Jr. said he was too busy, and Warner Bros. would not let him work on this project again. Warner Bros. and DC were hoping that Gilbert Jr. would finish "The Invincibles" and save Gotham City as soon as possible, and not work on other projects.

On the Disney side, Robert Iger couldn't say anything. After all, this was something that Gilbert Jr. had already agreed with Warner.

However, Robert Iger is pushing Disney to acquire the distribution rights for Marvel Studios' first film so that it can compete with DC's superhero movies.

On the Marvel Studios side, after a long period of planning, under the guidance of Gilbert Jr., the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe has been formed and entered the third phase of the Marvel Universe.

The reason why we only reached the third stage is that the fourth stage is too confusing. Little Gilbert himself doesn't understand it, so he won't bring it up for the time being.

Even so, such a clear plan shocked Marvel executives who were entering the film industry for the first time.

So, is this the planning ability of the world's top directors today? According to this plan, Marvel movies will have been produced for ten years.

Kevin Feige, president of Marvel Studios, was amazed and regarded the plan as a treasure and a trade secret, carefully keeping it secret until only a few senior executives knew about it.

Normally, a newly established film company would make a film to test the waters and would not make any long-term plans.

This is also the reason why there were some inconsistencies in the early stages of Marvel movies in the past. At that time, Marvel was just testing the waters and did not have such a clear long-term plan.

But now it’s different, little Gilbert has shown the way.

Although it is not known why Gilbert Jr. is so confident, given his past achievements in the film market, Marvel executives have great trust in him.

How to describe this trust? It's like God said that Gilbert Jr. is not trustworthy, but the Marvel executives will continue to trust Gilbert Jr. It's so exaggerated.

So according to the plan, Marvel Studios will start the production of the first "Iron Man 2006" in 1. The reason why it has to wait until 2006 instead of now is mainly due to Gilbert Jr.'s decision.

If it was produced in 2004 and released in 2005, it would coincide with "Batman Begins", which he directed himself.

The purpose of delaying it is to distract from the competition between DC and Marvel. He is a shareholder of Warner, and DC is a subsidiary of Warner, so he also has a share in it.

Of course, this is just Gilbert's wishful thinking, competition is inevitable.

But compared to DC, which still doesn't know how to save itself, Marvel Studios' road is undoubtedly broad.

Interestingly, Tom Cruise had previously expressed to Gilbert Jr. that he was willing to play in "Iron Man." But later, Tom Cruise said that he was not interested.

This actually makes Gilbert Jr. feel less burdened, and he can just choose Robert Downey Jr. when the time comes.

Robert Downey Jr.'s appeal is definitely not as good as Tom Cruise, but his advantage is also obvious, that is, he is cheap enough.

For a movie universe that requires long-term serialization, Robert Downey Jr. is also more suitable than Tom Cruise.

Let’s get back to Charlize Theron’s work. The "Mad Max: Fury Road" project has been temporarily shelved, but Charlize Theron is not short of projects.

Next she will star in the biographical film "The Life and Death of Peter Sellers" with Geoffrey Rush, John Lithgow and Emily Watson.

There is also the romantic movie "Three Ways to Be" co-starring with Penelope Cruz and Stuart Townsend, and many other projects are in the works.

It seems that these projects are not very good, but there is nothing we can do about it. Little Gilbert has only heard of so many famous Hollywood movies, and there are many he has not heard of, so it is normal.

Things are going better for Naomi Watts, as Gilbert Jr. has at least heard of the King Kong project.

In addition, Naomi Watts has taken on two films, a romantic comedy and an art film, aiming for awards.

Gilbert Jr. had never heard of it, so he asked around and found out that it wasn't run by Harvey Weinstein, so he didn't interfere. Gilbert Jr. was a narrow-minded person, and he still remembered the Harvey Weinstein incident, so he kept a close watch on it.

But now it seems that Harvey Weinstein gave up the idea, or rather, he gave up after that night.

After all, there are so many beauties in Hollywood, there is no need to offend young Gilbert for the sake of Naomi Watts.

From this we can also know Harvey Weinstein's hobby, that is, he likes petite beauties. Of course, men are philanthropic, and they are not limited to petite women, they also like other women, including meat and vegetables.

In addition to these films, Naomi Watts also agreed to make a cameo appearance in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, directed by Tim Burton and starring Johnny Depp.

Naomi Watts plays Mrs. Bucket, little Charlie's mother.

In fact, generally speaking, famous first-line actresses will not take on roles like mothers in commercial films unless they have no other choice.

Because once you play a role like a mother in a commercial film, it means being marginalized and you will no longer have the chance to play a popular role.

Naomi Watts is very calm about this. For her, life is enough. The actress has been among the top Hollywood actresses for a long time.

Now that I have a child, making movies is more of a hobby.

According to Naomi Watts, she will occasionally film to satisfy her interest in the future, and then return to her family to take care of little Gilbert and the children.

Of course, since she has accepted the role in "King Kong", Naomi Watts has to make use of her remaining superstar status.

Female stars start to decline after the age of 30, and she is 35, almost 36. It is not easy for her to maintain her status as a superstar.

Cameron Diaz is pregnant and has temporarily put her work aside to focus on taking care of the baby.

Jennifer Connelly also took on several dramas, one of which, "Bewitched", was quite interesting.

Gilbert Jr. asked Jennifer Connelly to free up her schedule so that she could play Rachel in Batman Begins.

Gilbert Jr. didn't like either Katie Holmes or Maggie Gyllenhaal, so he chose Jennifer Connelly.

This role is quite important. Jennifer Connelly has rarely participated in A-level productions, so Gilbert Jr. takes her to experience it.

It is worth mentioning Anne Hathaway. After "The Lord of the Rings", Anne Hathaway was actually a bit embarrassed.

Although Anne Hathaway gained great popularity with the role of Arwen, this also led to her embarrassment in choosing the right actors. The films she liked did not look good on her, after all, there are so many actresses in Hollywood.

And those who like her movies usually don't like them herself.

So I can only take on some movies that are slightly less bad and make do with them.

However, there was still a surprise that the fantasy movie "The Chronicles of Narnia" approached Anne Hathaway and hoped that she would play a role in it.

Anne Hathaway readily agreed, as she liked the positioning of the role very much.

The embarrassment of famous actresses in Hollywood can be seen from several of Gilbert's women.

Hollywood is a thoroughly patriarchal society, where men dominate everything. Therefore, female roles in A-level productions usually cause fierce competition among Hollywood actresses.

It is because they know that opportunities are rare and that there are not big projects waiting for them every day, so they need to grab and strive for them.

Even the women who have the support of Gilbert Jr. are in this state, let alone other struggling actresses.

Therefore, positions around Hollywood bigwigs are very sought-after, and problems that can be solved by having sex are actually minor problems.
