Chapter 608: Choice Above All

The main creators of "Iron Man" all walked on the red carpet, including director Jon Favreau, starring Robert Downey Jr., Kate Beckinsale, Don Cheadle, Scarlett Johansson and others.

Even Marvel executives in New York such as Avi Arad and Stan Lee came.

But the most popular person on the red carpet must be that man, Gilbert Jr. He and Naomi Watts walked quickly on the red carpet, briefly interacted with fans, and then accepted interviews.

“After acquiring Marvel Comics in 1998, I founded Marvel Studios. I have been discussing with Marvel executives about building a grand Marvel Universe.

Iron Man is the beginning of this universe, and we hope to make a unique superhero, a playboy, a genius, a rich man, a sharp tongue, and many flaws.

But I promise he’s still a traditional superhero, punishing evil and promoting good.”

He was not the director of the film, and Gilbert Jr. did not take up too much of the creators' time. After a brief interview, he went to talk to the sponsors and take photos.

There are many sponsors in the film, for example, Dior sponsored all the suits in the film, including Kate Beckinsale's professional suit, which was tailor-made for her.

Tony Stark's Audi car, watch, and leather shoes. The mobile phones and computers used in the film are all sponsored by Apple.

The sponsorship fees alone amounted to 3000 million U.S. dollars, and the sponsors also promised to pay bonuses if the film's box office reached a certain base.

All commercial blockbuster premieres may differ in details, but the general steps are basically the same.

Because there was still some time before the screening, after dealing with the sponsors, Gilbert Jr. and Naomi Watts went to the VIP lounge to rest.

Looking at Kate Beckinsale and Scarlett Johansson, who were competing for beauty, Naomi Watts said: "I went to a party a few days ago and ran into Megan Fox."

"Really?" Little Gilbert raised his eyebrows and asked, "What happened?"

"It's nothing serious. She talked to me about your movies and said that she is a fan of yours and likes your movies very much."

Naomi Watts said: "I think that's correct bullshit, every actor who wants to work with you will say they are a fan of yours."

Little Gilbert laughed: "I guess she was tempted when she heard that Andrew Garfield got the leading role in Edgewalker?"

"It's possible," Naomi Watts speculated, "but it's also possible that she saw what happened to Andrew Garfield and wanted to do the same after he successfully escaped."

"Isn't she David Ellison's girlfriend?"

Naomi Watts rolled her eyes and said, “You still have five wives, and countless lovers like Ivanka!

Oh, and those women from the island country..."

Little Gilbert muttered, "How can there be countless?"

"what?"

"Nothing, just keep talking."

Naomi Watts continued: "Megan Ellison is afraid that one day David Ellison will get tired of her and send her away like a plaything."

Little Gilbert agreed: "That's right. What if it's an old man in his sixties or seventies? I have to pretend to be happy. What if there's another pervert who likes perverted games?"

"Maybe she likes it too?"

The mainstream philosophical community is basically divided into three factions: the theory of human nature being good and the theory of human nature being evil, while Gilbert Jr. supported the third one, that human nature does not matter.

This school of thought believes that a person is not determined at birth, but is influenced by education and environment. In a circle like Hollywood, where people are surrounded by the bright lights and revelry every day, it is inevitable that they will be affected over time. For example, at an open party, people who have never been to it will be overwhelmed and feel that they cannot adapt.

But after doing it a few times and finding that everyone around you is doing it, you will feel at ease to join in.

That's what happened to Leo. At first he was taken there by someone, but later he became addicted to it and even wanted to take Gilbert along.

So Leo became the most unpopular person in Cantaloupe Manor. Every time he came, the women would not look at him well.

Of course, considering that Leo once blocked a knife for Gilbert (when Madonna publicly expressed her love for him), he is always a warmly welcomed guest at Cantaloupe Manor.

Therefore, most people change with the environment, and only a few people can maintain their original intentions.

If what Naomi Watts said is true, Megan Fox's future fate is obviously foreseeable.

But to be honest, little Gilbert is not a savior and cannot save all the lost boys and girls, and the choice itself is theirs.

Whether you make a name for yourself by working hard on your own, or take the shortcut to success by getting into bed with some big shots, it all depends on your own choice.

If Andrew Garfield hadn't asked for help, Little Gilbert would never have helped that night, even though Andrew Garfield was a good man.

After a short rest in the VIP lounge, the screening session was about to begin.

At this time, Ivanka led a man over and introduced him to Gilbert: "This is Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and Space Exploration Technologies Corporation."

"Hello, Mr. Musk." Gilbert Jr. shook hands with Elon Musk, who was later nicknamed the real-life Iron Man.

Elon Musk seemed a little nervous, probably because it was his first time meeting little Gilbert.

Previously, Ivanka was the one who contacted Tesla, and Gilbert Jr. was only concerned about whether there was any investment. Later, after learning that the investment was successful, Gilbert Jr. no longer paid attention to it, but just told Ivanka to continue to make additional investments.

Apparently Elon Musk and Gilbert Jr. had something to discuss, so Gilbert Jr., Naomi Watts, and Ivanka said, “You guys go in first!”

After the two women entered, Gilbert Jr. and Elon Musk chatted in the VIP lounge, mainly talking about the development of Tesla.

However, Elon Musk's purpose was obviously not to talk about Tesla with shareholder Gilbert Jr., but Space Exploration Technologies Corporation.

"I wonder what Director Gilbert thinks about migrating to Mars?" Elon Musk asked expectantly.

Gilbert Jr. said: "Elon, you should know that I am a director and a creator. What I am best at is thinking. In fact, I have also imagined the future."

“Like The Matrix?” Elon Musk laughed.

"Yes," Gilbert continued, "it seems to me that we have reached the top of the Earth. The Earth is our mother, but this mother is now overwhelmed.

The future of mankind should be in space. Space is our new hope."

Elon Musk was delighted to hear this, and he said, "Yes, that's right, I have the same idea as you, so I founded Space Exploration Technologies Corporation.

I hope to realize the idea of ​​colonizing Mars or even other planets one day, but many people say I am crazy. "

"People always have a lot of prejudices against geniuses." Gilbert Jr. wrote down an address for Elon Musk: "Come visit the set of Edgewalker when you have time, and we can talk in detail."

Elon Musk was delighted: "Of course, I'm always available."
