Chapter 596 Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet

"Wow, it looks good. Ilian will definitely like this."

At the entrance of the National Theatre of China where the premiere of "Transformers" was held, there were two five or six meter high models of Optimus Prime and Bumblebee, which looked very eye-catching.

As soon as Scarlett arrived at the scene, she felt the charm of "Transformers". She liked such a big toy, not to mention the boys who were obsessed with robots.

Gilbert Jr. was also very satisfied: "It seems that David Ellison has people around him who can still do these jobs well. Putting these two at the door has a very, very good effect."

"Indeed," Scarlett agreed, "Just look at the fanatical eyes of those fans. If they hadn't been stopped, Optimus Prime and Bumblebee would have died on the spot.

I think the toys around this movie will sell better than The Last of Us. David Ellison can finally beat you.”

Little Gilbert smiled and said: "It is certain that it will sell well. With the development of technology, the effects that seemed difficult to achieve before can now be easily achieved.

This is a project that doesn’t require much content. If David Ellison can’t even do this well, I think he should go work for his father’s company earlier.”

"That's true." Scarlett nodded.

There were already many people in the VIP area waiting to walk the red carpet, and many acquaintances simply greeted little Gilbert without chatting much.

Well-known producer Jerry Bruckheimer came up and chatted with Gilbert Jr.

"Does Michelle have time lately?"

"I think she certainly has, Jerry, do you have any projects to collaborate with her on?"

"Of course," Jerry Bruckheimer said, "We had a great time working together on National Treasure last time. National Treasure 2 is about to start filming, and Michelle is the leading actress. She can't be absent."

"Hahaha," Little Gilbert laughed, "Don't worry, Jerry, she has been looking forward to starring in the second movie."

Jerry Bruckheimer nodded and asked Scarlett, "Ms. Johnson, when will we work together on a movie?"

"This..." Scarlett looked at little Gilbert and said, "If there is no good project, I won't participate."

"Don't worry," Jerry Bruckheimer pointed at Gilbert Jr. and said, "With Gilbert Jr. watching over me, I will definitely not give you a bad project."

“Then I look forward to a pleasant cooperation.”

"Pleasant to work with."

As a Hollywood gold medal producer, Jerry Bruckheimer's projects are coveted by many people. However, even though Scarlett is only a second-tier actor now, she is not short of invitations to similar projects.

It's very simple. Hollywood doesn't just look at ability. The connections behind the scenes also play a role. With Gilbert Jr. as a backer, Scarlett has an advantage in competing for many projects.

After a while, it was little Gilbert and Scarlett's turn to walk on the red carpet.

It was not expected that Gilbert Jr. and Scarlett would appear on the red carpet, but the fans at the scene still welcomed them with enthusiastic screams and cheers.

The host was still introducing them: "Walking on the red carpet are director Gilbert Jr. and famous actress Scarlett Johansson.

I don't need to introduce director Gilbert Jr. in detail, I'm sure everyone is familiar with him.

His film "The Last of Us", which was released this year, has grossed 1.57 million U.S. dollars in North America and 3.94 million U.S. dollars worldwide, creating good box office results.

Scarlett Johansson has starred in movies such as Lost in Translation and Fell in Love, and I'm sure everyone is familiar with her..."

Just as the host finished the introduction, Gilbert Jr. and Scarlett just finished walking the red carpet.

The host happened to catch the two for a brief interview: "What do you feel about coming to the premiere of "Transformers"?"

Gilbert Jr. replied: "I have always been a fan of Transformers, and when David invited me, I came without hesitation."

Scarlett said, "I came here with little Gilbert, but I saw that the premiere was quite lively. I like the atmosphere." After the brief interview, the host let go of little Gilbert and Scarlett, and the two walked into the theater, just in time to see David Ellison standing at the door to greet guests.

With so many people here, and in a public place, Gilbert Jr. and Scarlett were both impeccably polite. On the contrary, David Ellison looked a little unnatural when he saw Scarlett, probably because he was frightened by Scarlett's prank last time.

"Hi, David, congratulations on the successful premiere of your movie." Gilbert Jr. shook hands with David Ellison.

David Ellison said with a wry smile: "The premiere is nothing, in the end it all depends on the box office performance."

"That's true," Little Gilbert pointed at Optimus Prime and Bumblebee on both sides and said, "You look very majestic. It seems that you have passed the novice stage."

"I have to thank you so much. It's all because of your good guidance, otherwise I wouldn't have made such rapid progress." David Ellison said words of thanks, but there was no trace of that in his tone.

Little Gilbert didn't care. The fact that David Ellison could hold back from losing his temper in public had already made Little Gilbert look at him with new eyes.

Scarlett didn't say anything except the formal greeting to David Ellison at the beginning. After following Gilbert into the theater, she poked Gilbert in the waist.

"Little Gilbert, look over there?"

"what?"

Little Gilbert followed Scarlett's gaze and saw his old acquaintance Mel Gibson.

"This old friend is here, so I want to say hello." Little Gilbert smiled, and then he and Scarlett went over and shouted from a distance: "Hey, Mel, long time no see, when did you come out?"

Mel Gibson was originally bragging to the guests who came to support him, and trying to attract some popularity for his new project, but then he heard the voice that he hated the most.

The guests around automatically made way. They couldn't afford to offend Gilbert Jr., but they also didn't want to offend Mel Gibson, so they had to pretend not to see it.

Little Gilbert walked up quickly and stretched out his hand: "You seem to be in good spirits. I feel relieved now."

Years of imprisonment did not seem to completely wear away Mel Gibson's temper. His face, which was full of smiles just now, instantly turned cold.

"What are you here for?"

Little Gilbert spread his hands innocently: "David invited me sincerely, I have to give him some face!"

"Humph," Mel Gibson snorted, "You are here to laugh at me."

"Absolutely not," Gilbert Jr. put on a sincere expression on his face, "Over the past decade, let the past be the past.

This is Hollywood, Mel, and I don't think you're going to make it here."

Mel Gibson was furious after hearing this: "You mean, if I still hold a grudge, I can't stay in Hollywood?"

"Whatever you think," the smile on Gilbert Jr.'s face matched his eyes, as if he treated Mel Gibson as a wild dog on the roadside.

Mel Gibson was angry, his face turned red and his fists clenched.

At this time, Michael Ovitz arrived: "Mel, calm down."

Mel Gibson snorted and turned away, ignoring the mocking looks from Little Gilbert and Scarlett.

Michael Ovitz apologized: "I'm sorry for Mel's faux pas."

"It's okay, Michael."

Little Gilbert wiped his hands with a wet tissue. Although Mel Gibson did not shake hands with him, he looked as if he disliked having contact with Mel Gibson.
