Chapter 6 Opportunity Comes
  The executives discussed it for a while and then quickly forgot about "Shark Tank," and Spielberg seemed to just recommend it.

If it doesn't work, you can also recommend it to other film companies.

The big companies look down on him, but the second-tier film companies may give little Gilbert a chance for Spielberg's sake.

But one thing that Universal Pictures executives forgot is that they have changed their bosses and the president is also new.

Akio Tanii was just told earlier that no matter what Spielberg's conditions were, he had to agree first.

The executives of "Shark Beach" have also discussed it. It is a good script, but they are just worried about the age of the director.

Akio Tanii has always believed in letting professional people look at professional matters. He is a layman in the film industry, so he rarely makes decisions directly.

Universal Pictures’ recent decisions are all made after senior management meetings and discussions, with majority approval.

In other words, Tanii Akio is a hands-off shopkeeper who only approves money and projects and does nothing else.

However, seeing that senior executives were obviously not interested in the "Shark Tank" project, Akio Tanii felt that this was an opportunity to please Spielberg.

So he said: "Director Spielberg, I think this script is very good. Universal Pictures is willing to invest in this movie. What do you think?"

"Oh?" Spielberg raised his eyebrows, a little surprised: "Mr. Tanai is willing to invest in this movie?"

"Of course," Tanii Akio affirmed: "Mr. Matsushita specifically asked me to listen to you more when it comes to film matters.

Since it is the project you recommended, it must be no problem, right, Lu? "

Lew Vasseur secretly cursed the damn RB shorty, but he had to agree: "Indeed, in the film business, no one can match the director Spielberg."

"That's good," Akio Tanii clapped his hands and said, "Let's ask little Gilbert to prepare. Universal Pictures has invested in this project."

The senior executives looked at each other, but they didn't expect that the new RB president would decide on this project in just a few words.

According to Hollywood practice, this kind of matter needs to be discussed at a high level. If the discussion fails, there is no need to initiate the project.

But Akio Tanii is obviously not on the same page as the executives of Hollywood companies. He issues orders directly according to Panasonic's management model.

In Panasonic, or in most RB companies, the superiors issue orders and subordinates only need to carry them out without any objection.

If Universal Pictures is still the same Universal Pictures, then the executives can completely initiate the impeachment process of the president and let Akio Tanii step down.

But now the parent company of Universal Pictures has become Panasonic. During Panasonic's integration of Universal Pictures, people were kicked out every day.

At this juncture, none of the executives wanted to offend Akio Tanii, who was sent from the parent company.

Therefore, when Akio Tanii said he would accept the script recommended by Spielberg, the senior management neither objected nor supported it.

In this way, little Gilbert got the opportunity to direct.

Spielberg himself was stunned. He just recommended it casually. He originally thought that the objections from the senior management would be ignored, but he didn't expect that the Japanese would just act arbitrarily.

However, as smart as Spielberg, he quickly understood the connection. It was simply because Panasonic had just acquired Universal Pictures.

He, Spielberg, is Universal Pictures' anchor, and he has just finalized the really big project of "Jurassic Park", so he must not fawn over him at this time...

At this time, he was trying to save his face so that he could work for Universal Pictures wholeheartedly.

It seems that little Gilbert is quite lucky, Spielberg thought.

He didn't even expect that Universal Pictures would take a fancy to him the first time he recommended it to Universal Pictures. In fact, they did not take a fancy to it either, but the CEO changed and the president took a fancy to it.

Now that Tanii Akio has decided, even if Lou Vasseur intends to object, it’s hard to say anything at this time.

Lew Wasser had no choice but to say to Spielberg: "You will produce this "Shark Tank," and we at Universal Pictures will invest and distribute it." Spielberg thought about it, after all, his goddaughter Gwen also I wanted to play the lead female role in the film, so I readily agreed: "Okay, this is no problem."

The high-level meeting ended successfully. What happened today was enough for the high-level officials to discuss for a long time.

Spielberg left the conference room, declined Akio Tanii's invitation to drink tea, and called his assistant over: "Notify little Gilbert that he is ready to make a detailed plan for me."

"Okay..." The assistant quickly informed little Gilbert to go.

When he received the notice, Gilbert Jr. had just finished a workout with Gwyneth Paltrow in his apartment.

The filming of "Captain Hook" was over, and little Gilbert had nothing to do, so Gwyneth Paltrow often asked him to date and play together.

An eighteen-year-old girl is at the right age to have fun, go shopping, go to a bar, then go back to the apartment, and finally go to bed.

Except for what can't be done, everything else that can be done is done.

Fortunately, little Gilbert is now in good physical condition and exercises regularly.

Otherwise, during the exercise and yoga together, Gwyneth Paltrow's slender legs would be pinched off by her waist.

"Okay, I understand, I will make a plan as soon as possible." Little Gilbert hung up the landline phone.

Gwyneth Paltrow hugged little Gilbert from behind and felt his strong muscles.

"Honey, do you have any clues about the movie?" Gwyneth Paltrow asked.

"Yes," little Gilbert nodded and said, "There is news from Uncle Steven that Universal Pictures is willing to invest in this movie and asked me to write a project plan and submit it."

"Great," Gwyneth Paltrow let go of little Gilbert and jumped up and down with excitement: "I have my movie heroine."

Little Gilbert couldn't stand it and threw his pajamas to Gwyneth Paltrow: "Put it on first. My apartment is not safe. Be careful of being secretly photographed."

"Just take secret photos. What am I afraid of?" Gwyneth Paltrow said nonchalantly.

"You are a future Hollywood goddess. Is it inappropriate for someone to see your indecent photos?"

Gwyneth Paltrow pouted, but she still put on her pajamas to avoid having sex. Not to mention, with the cover of pajamas, there is another temptation.

Men and women who are well versed in this know that sometimes covering up is more tempting than not covering up.

After putting on her pajamas, Gwyneth Paltrow took in the taste and hugged little Gilbert from behind again: "Dear..."

Little Gilbert secretly recited Amitabha and resisted temptation with extremely strong willpower.

"Stop making trouble, I have to work. If you have nothing to do recently, find a surfing instructor and practice your surfing skills!"

After saying that, little Gilbert broke away from Gwyneth Paltrow, got dressed and started to work.

Not being able to do it again, Gwyneth Paltrow was not disappointed. She took a shower first and then changed into her own clothes.

Seeing little Gilbert starting to work at his desk, he said: "Little Gilbert, I'll come see you tomorrow.

I have contacted the surfing coach and will be training in two days. "

When you do yoga, you call me honey, but when you don’t do yoga, you call me Little Gilbert, right?
  "Okay," little Gilbert turned around and waved: "Exercise well, I won't send you away, come on."

"Tch, you just need to refuel, let's go." Gwyneth Paltrow blew a kiss, picked up her bag, walked out of the apartment, and drove away in her small sports car.

Little Gilbert watched Gwyneth Paltrow leave and continued work, first making a project plan.
