Chapter 626 Unfounded Accusations

"Did you tell us why Will Smith refused?" asked Gilbert Jr.

Akiva Goldsman, the film's screenwriter and producer, hesitated, looked at Gilbert Jr., and didn't dare to say anything.

"Why? Is it related to me?"

"Yes, Will Smith said he didn't want to work with you." Akiva Goldsman still told the truth: "I met him in person. It was mainly because his wife Jada Smith opposed it."

Little Gilbert was curious. He had no grudge against the Smiths, so he asked, "What's the reason for the objection?"

"They didn't say, but I think it had a lot to do with you."

"It's incomprehensible." Gilbert Jr. was speechless: "Since Will Smith doesn't want to participate, let's find another actor!"

"Okay, do you have someone in mind who would be a good fit?" Akiva Goldsman asked.

"Let me think about it..." Little Gilbert tapped the table and thought.

There are not many characters in "I Am Legend", so the role of the male lead is very important. Using a newcomer or a second- or third-tier actor will not be able to carry the box office.

Therefore, the film must have a first-line male star with box office appeal, and Will Smith was chosen simply because he also starred in the previous film.

But since the other party doesn't want to act now, Gilbert Jr. won't force him. No one is indispensable in Hollywood, except Gilbert Jr. himself.

Actually, if you don't consider the star status, Jason Statham is quite suitable. Dwayne Johnson is also OK, but he is a little bigger and more fierce.

After thinking for a while, Gilbert Jr. said, "Go call Brad Pitt's agent and see if Mr. Pitt is interested."

Akiva Goldsman nodded: "Okay, I'll contact them."

After Akiva Goldsman left, Gilbert thought for a moment and called Sophia again: "Hey, Sophia, what are you busy with recently?"

"Little Gilbert, you don't care about me." Sophia was busy over there: "I just directed a movie called "Marie Antoinette" and I'm going to compete for an Oscar.

I was just thinking of calling you to tell you something."

"What's the matter?" Little Gilbert asked curiously.

Sophia hesitated for a while before saying, "I heard a rumor that's related to you."

Little Gilbert frowned. "What rumors are about me? Aren't there enough rumors about me in Hollywood?"

"No, the main thing is that this rumor is very credible, and I heard there are witnesses." Sofia said anxiously, "Does Jada Smith know?"

"You know, Will Smith's wife. Are you related to her?"

"Yes, there were recent rumors that you molested her in the trailer during the filming of The Matrix 2."

"????" Little Gilbert had a question mark on his head: "Me? Molested her? How is it possible?"

"I also think it's impossible, but there are witnesses this time. I heard there are photos." Sophia asked cautiously, "You didn't really do it, did you?"

"What?" Little Gilbert was furious: "I would molest a woman like that? She's so ugly."

Seeing that Gilbert's angry tone didn't sound fake, Sophia believed it: "I told you, your aesthetic taste has always been for delicate faces, big breasts and long legs. How could you possibly be attracted to a woman like Jada Smith?
Still molesting? Just wave your hand and many women will come to you automatically..."

"Okay," Gilbert Jr. said speechlessly, "I came to you to ask you to ask Nicola if he has time to star in a movie I'm producing."

"What movie was it?"

"I Am Legend, a movie adapted from a doomsday novel, I think Nicholas is a perfect fit."

"Okay, I'll ask him." Sophia agreed immediately, and then said worriedly: "Little Gilbert, you better be careful. With your current status, there are not many people who dare to mess with you.

The person who dared to instigate Jada Smith to do this to you must be a very powerful person." "Thank you, Sophia." Little Gilbert thanked.

Sophia dared to tip off the person, which must have been a risk for her, which meant that she was on his side.

"Thank my father if you want to thank him. He asked me to inform you." Sofia said, "My father asked you to come and have a cup of coffee when you are free."

"Okay, after I finish this matter, I will visit you in person." Little Gilbert agreed immediately.

The Italian gang as a whole was still on his side, which made Gilbert feel relieved. However, this inexplicable accusation still made Gilbert a little troubled. Who was going to get him?

When we returned to Cantaloupe Manor, Naomi Watts, Charlize Theron, Jennifer Connelly and others were there.

Gilbert Jr. also called his agent Sheena Boone, public relations manager Marco Wald, and his cousin, now a senior executive of the Fruit Group, Ellie Mays, and others.

After everyone arrived, little Gilbert told everyone what he had heard from Sophia.

After hearing this, everyone looked at each other in disbelief.

Naomi Watts frowned and said, "Isn't this a little too outrageous? Who would believe this?"

Public relations manager Marco Wald said: "Smart people don't believe it, but the public is easily manipulated by public opinion and it can easily become a fact."

Jennifer Connelly added: “It’s not just a matter of public opinion. We are not afraid of public opinion. We have the advantage of online media, and we also have several influential print media.

The problem is that they are afraid that if they file a lawsuit, the procuratorate will cooperate."

Sheena Boone agreed: "Yes, little Gilbert, this time we got you, there must be cooperation from Washington."

"What's the point?" asked little Gilbert.

"It's simple, cousin." Ellie Mays, a cousin who works in a fruit company, knows her cousin's wealth hidden under the surface: "They are eyeing your wealth.

At the same time, I feel that you are a loner, so this adventure is to get rid of you and divide up your wealth. "

Marco Wold said: “Gilbert, you have focused on the development of your career over the years, but ignored the changes in the surrounding environment.

Hollywood is not just Hollywood. It involves all aspects, and all forces are involved. As a leader, your circle is too small. "

Little Gilbert was stunned: "My circle is still small? I am a shareholder of Warner and Disney."

"Not enough, little Gilbert, this is not enough. You have to clearly realize that this is not just a Hollywood problem, this is a war of capital annexation."

Marco Wald was very serious: “Those families and consortiums that have made their fortunes on this land for hundreds of years have formed a huge interest group.

Although you have risen quickly, your foundation is not stable, and you do not make friends with them, which makes them feel uneasy. "

"So I'm pissing them off by not going to those messy parties?" asked Gilbert Jr.

"I'm afraid so."

Little Gilbert was speechless. It turned out that not wanting to be with the light was a sin. The point was that your party was not serious at all. It was just some messed-up multi-person sports event.

They also have to leave videos, photos and other things to use as leverage against each other. What's the point of joining such a circle?

Little Gilbert looked at Naomi Watts, Charlize Theron, and then at Jennifer Connelly, who had just finished filming "The Day the Earth Stood Still" and was preparing to have a baby.

Little Gilbert felt inexplicably angry at the thought of taking his women to these parties and having them serve other men.

"Bang!" Little Gilbert slammed the table and said, "Don't force me to compromise. I will kill anyone who forces me to do so!"

Seeing the furious little Gilbert, no one was surprised. Little Gilbert had this kind of temper. If he could compromise, he would have compromised long ago.
