Chapter 638 Subsequent Impact

"Is Ivanka done with that?"

"It's done. The man compromised."

Naomi Watts hesitated and asked, "Are you really letting him go?"

"Let him go?" Little Gilbert shook his head slightly and said, "Sometimes letting him go is a punishment."

Commissioner Smith went to the club honestly to carry out his undercover mission. They had an unwritten rule that if a person messed up, he would be ignored for a long time.

Perhaps no one would have thought that Commissioner Smith had actually colluded with the enemy, and that no one was sent to monitor him, nor did anyone notice anything unusual about him.

They were so used to playing tricks on others that they were so lawless that they didn't even think that others would plot against them. Until now, these people thought that little Gilbert didn't know who had played tricks on him.

Rekie Evans watched Commissioner Smith ease back into the clubhouse and suddenly understood what his boss had said.

"The whole world is made up of a huge makeshift team. As long as you are a little more sober and smarter than them, you can play them in the palm of your hand."

The plan went smoothly and both sides thought they were very smart, but even the most meticulously planned plans are bound to go wrong during execution, so it all depends on who is luckier.

Back in Los Angeles, after sweeping away Jada Smith's unfounded accusations with thunderous force, Hollywood suddenly discovered that Gilbert Jr.'s position in Hollywood is still unshakable.

On the contrary, the Smiths were in an awkward position now. They had messed up, and the invitation from the club was no longer valid. The person behind the scenes had given up on them, and the couple was in trouble.

Will Smith has another movie "The Pursuit of Happyness" released this year. Affected by this incident, fans' expectations for this movie on major movie websites have dropped rapidly.

In addition, the actors of "Hancock" were about to sign contracts, but after this incident, the producers changed the actors.

This is normal. If people do things without bearing the consequences, the world will become unscrupulous.

Will Smith quickly came out and said: "I was just protecting my wife, who said she suffered from mental illness because of the assault.

Please forgive me for wanting to protect my wife as a husband. I would like to sincerely apologize to Director Gilbert Jr.

sorry……"

The attitude was sincere, but it was too late.

As for Jada Smith, she has now started to act like an ostrich and not show up. She doesn't dare to show up either, as Gilbert's fans are very aggressive.

There are now over 100,000 entries criticizing Jada Smith in forums and blogs. Just looking at these entries, Jada Smith feels like she is really suffering from a mental illness.

There is a lag in news on the other side of the ocean. When the North American public opinion reversed, the media there was reporting on the Gilbert Jr. sexual assault case.

Internet users are also criticizing little Gilbert, saying that this is what their old friend is like.

Even if a few people raised objections, thinking that Gilbert Jr. looked down on Jada Smith, they were ignored by most people.

Maybe people just like this taste?
While criticizing and leaving comments like "your circle is so chaotic", many people actually envy the decadent life of capitalists.

Of course, if Gilbert Jr. had not received extremely high attention here and was not the most popular director in Hollywood, this incident would not have caused any waves on the Chinese Internet.

Of course, as a foreigner, especially one working behind the scenes as a director, no matter how much attention he gets, he can never be as popular as the stars in the Chinese entertainment industry.

It just so happened that this year was a very chaotic year for the Chinese entertainment industry. The unspoken rules of the entertainment industry were exposed, and the Super Girl contest became popular.

It was also from this year that the fan circles of cheering, voting, swiping votes, controlling comments, and whitewashing gradually formed and grew. Later, the fan circles almost developed into cults.

With so many hot entertainment news, not many people would pay attention to and discuss the affairs of Hollywood director Gilbert Jr. from across the ocean.

Later, public opinion turned around and it turned out that Gilbert Jr. had never done it, but netizens no longer cared after the excitement for a while.

In places like Europe and island countries that are more closely connected to Hollywood, the discussion is even more heated. And when things take a turn, the effect is even more prominent.

The Times commented: "For a celebrity director, there is always the threat of scandal and the risk of crime.

Director Gilbert Jr.'s current position seems to make many people feel threatened, and he will face many challenges and threats in the future."

The Times is an old aristocratic newspaper with a natural sense of superiority. Although the glory of the British Empire has faded, the arrogance in the bones of The Times remains.

Naturally, it looked down on those North American bumpkins who spoke without restraint and almost said that little Gilbert was harmed by someone.

Italy's Roma newspaper also made related comments, and France's Ferrocar listed the wealth under the name of Guibert Jr.

The report also pointed out that it was because of Gilbert Jr.'s public influence and his wealth that some people coveted his popularity and wealth.

There are two solutions: one is for Little Gilbert to seek refuge, and the other is to eliminate Little Gilbert and divide up his wealth.

The first one has been proven to be unworkable, and the second one seems difficult to implement at present, unless a large amount of benefits is promised to make the military-industrial complex take action.

The struggle of the Western upper class is once again exposed to the public. However, most people will not pay much attention to it, after all, it has little to do with them. For the audience and fans, the most important thing is whether they can see Gilbert's future works.

At this time, Gilbert Jr. accepted an exclusive interview with the Los Angeles Times. After this media war, the Los Angeles Times surfaced, and Gilbert Jr. was the largest shareholder of this one of the three largest newspapers in North America.

Talents on Wall Street and in the medical complex discovered that Gilbert Jr. was not just a film director and investment genius, but also a media tycoon.

Their usual tactics in the past, controlling the media to discredit a person, such as Michael Jackson, leaving him speechless, no longer work.

Not to mention the Internet, Gilbert Jr., who controls the largest social networking company in the United States, has an absolute advantage. Nowadays, everyone has noticed the importance of online public opinion, but it is too late.

In terms of traditional media, big media such as the Los Angeles Times are Gilbert Jr.'s mouthpieces. Coupled with Disney's ABC TV channel, Gilbert Jr. will not appear to be at a disadvantage.

After the incident had calmed down a little, Gilbert Jr. made a public appearance.

He did not mention a word about this incident, but only talked about his own film ideals and his imaginary world.

"I have always had a strong love for movies. I like the artistic form of movies, and I communicate with my audience through the big screen."

The reporter asked: "We know that you have been in the top ten of the Forbes rich list for several consecutive years. With so much wealth, have you ever thought about not making movies and focusing on running your own business empire?"

"No, I won't." Gilbert Jr. denied: "Movies have always been my hobby. Unless one day I can't make them anymore, I won't consider quitting the film industry.

There are so many lovely fans accompanying me, waiting for me to bring them good works, I can't bear to leave."

“When will the next work be released to the public?”

"I revealed long ago that this is a series, and I think the audience will like this brand new story."

After the interview was released, fans were of course delighted, and Gilbert Jr. will continue to make movies.

Before this incident, most fans had no accurate idea of ​​Gilbert Jr.'s wealth. But after this incident, Gilbert Jr. revealed all his cards and showed his wealth for the first time.

So fans were worried that Gilbert Jr. would stop making movies after making enough money.

But now he himself said that he will retire when he can no longer shoot. Clete Eastwood is still active in Hollywood, and Martin Sr.'s "The Departed" also performed well this year.

A large number of directors are still creating in their seventies and eighties. Young Gilbert is only thirty-six years old this year, so we can still watch him for a long time!

Hollywood has to think about a problem. The Jewish power in Hollywood is deeply rooted. Although Gilbert Jr. belongs to the weak Jewish faction, everyone can still unite in the face of threats.

Many Jewish executives expressed disapproval of this incident, and some thought it would be a good idea to teach Gilbert a lesson. It is not good to always be a maverick, stay outside the circle, and enjoy the benefits.

So this is also the reason why, except for George Lucas who stood up and clearly supported Gilbert Jr., other Squidward executives remained silent on this matter.

Of course, Robert Iger still made the move quietly, but that was because Gilbert Jr. offered Disney the possibility.

Warner remained neutral and did not participate in the incident.

Rumor has it that Washington is launching an antitrust investigation, believing that Gilbert Jr.'s shares in both Disney and Warner constitute a monopoly.

If an investigation is launched, Gilbert Jr. will have to sell some of his shares.

Although there was this rumor, it did not affect the cooperation between Warner and Gilbert Jr. After Gilbert Jr. returned from Toronto, Doug Walter made a special trip to visit Gilbert Jr.

"I will be stepping down as CEO of Warner Bros. Pictures and moving to the group company," said Doug Walter.

Gilbert Jr. congratulated him: "Congratulations, Doug, you got a promotion this time, right?"

Doug Walter smiled bitterly and said, "Being an executive in a group company is not as good as being the CEO of Warner Bros. Pictures! But this is the decision of the group company, and I have to obey it."

“Who will take over as CEO?”

"Qili Ross, someone who was parachuted in from the group company. I heard that this person is a hardliner and a feminist."

Gilbert Jr. expressed his understanding: "You mean there might be an accident in our cooperation?"

"Cantaloupe Studios has always been operated independently. If Qi Li Ross takes over as CEO, she will not sit idly by and will intervene," said Doug Walter.

Gilbert Jr. said he understood: "It's a turbulent time! Thank you, Doug, for saying these words to me."

"You're welcome. At least we are still good friends in personal relationship."

"Yes, we are still friends."

Gilbert Jr. and Doug Walter shook hands and the two said their goodbyes.
