Chapter 656 Old Friend

"We would like to invite you to be the artistic consultant for the Olympic Games."

Gilbert Jr. joked, "I thought you were going to ask me to be the director of the Olympic opening ceremony. I was just about to find a reason to refuse."

Old Tian on the other end of the phone laughed and then explained: "I really want you to be the director of the Olympic Opening Ceremony, but you also know that this is of great significance to us, so we must find a domestic director to complete it."

"I understand," Little Gilbert nodded and asked, "Have you decided who it will be?"

"It's still under discussion. Currently, four candidates have been confirmed and we have to pick one from these four."

"Can I know which four?"

Old Tian on the other end of the phone hesitated for a while before saying, "Well, since you are the art consultant we hired, you have the right to know the candidates and can also provide us with some advice.

The four directors selected are Guoshi Zhang, Pigeon Chen, Li Ang, and Wen Jiang. Who do you think is suitable? "

Is there still a need to choose? Pigeon Chen and Li An are ruled out first. Wen Jiang has too strong a personal style and is definitely not suitable for this position. The only one left is Zhang, the national teacher.

Little Gilbert didn't think much and answered directly: "National Master Zhang, no one is more suitable for this position than him."

"I think so too," Lao Tian agreed, and then asked, "Then when do you think you can come to Beijing and have a meeting?"

Little Gilbert thought about his work schedule and said, "It's probably around summer, June or July!"

"Okay, I'll wait for you in the capital."

The matter was settled, and although there is still more than a year to go before the Olympics, relevant preparatory work is already underway.

Including the selection of Olympic torchbearers, preparation of programs for the opening and closing ceremonies, construction of the Olympic Village, etc.

As the artistic consultant of the Olympics, Gilbert Jr. naturally had to take responsibility. The assistant team flew to China to meet with the Olympic preparation team, and Gilbert Jr. communicated with the preparation team through email.

The opinions he provided included the general process of the opening and closing ceremonies, mascot design, and the creation of the city's image and business card.

When the preparatory team communicated with Gilbert Jr., they were amazed that Gilbert Jr. was indeed a world-class director who could give the preparatory team so many suggestions on the artistic level without reservation.

This is truly an old friend of the Chinese people and an international friend!
Little did people know that Gilbert Jr. had watched the Olympics once, after all, and it left a deep impression on him, and these mature suggestions all came from his memory of the Olympics.

Of course, he also added some minor changes and suggestions, all for the purpose of making this Olympic Games a success and a good one.

The leader of the preparatory group spoke to Lao Tian: "Lao Tian, ​​your suggestion is really good. We should have invited little Gilbert a long time ago."

Lao Tian looked like he had been thinking about this for a long time: "I said let's invite Gilbert Jr.! Although Spielberg is his teacher, in terms of level, I think Gilbert Jr. has surpassed Spielberg.

Besides, inviting Gilbert Jr. might also reduce some political troubles.”

The leader thought about it and it was true. You know, foreign countries are not honest now. Seeing that the Olympics are about to be held, they have started to make trouble and have to set up some obstacles.

If Spielberg is invited, there may be some unspeakable troubles, but Gilbert Jr. basically does not have this problem because he has applied for political asylum at some point in the future.

This kind of unclear relationship made the relationship between little Gilbert and this side more harmonious, and they became more like one of the family.

Honestly speaking, if he wasn't unsuitable, the organizing committee would really like to choose Gilbert Jr. as the director of the opening ceremony of the Olympics.

Time flies. The Britney Spears shaved head incident at the beginning of the year seems to indicate that Hollywood will not be peaceful this year. Britney Spears, once the sweetheart idol of the United States, has now become a person who hates dogs. Although external factors are a big factor, it proves one more truth:
Luck can bless you for a while, but only by using your brain can you go on for a long time.

In fact, this incident had little to do with little Gilbert, but because Avril Lavigne moved into Cantaloupe Manor, the two incidents were connected.

Britney Spears said on her social media account that Avril Lavigne was just lucky to have Gilbert Jr., otherwise she would not be much different from herself.

You know what, many netizens who left comments below agreed with this.

According to Avril Lavigne's temper, if she didn't stand up and respond, she would not be herself. However, Gilbert Jr. stopped the irritable punk princess, and Avril Lavigne was very angry and planned to write a song to scold back.

After moving into Cantaloupe Manor, Avril Lavigne moved the recording location of her new album from New York to Los Angeles and began to concentrate on creation.

Then he would go to see little Gilbert from time to time, or go out to eat or go shopping together, and he would post photos of the two of them together on social media.

Avril Lavigne also asked fans which photo they would like to choose for the album cover.

However, the fans who have been broken into probably don’t want to make a choice at this moment. Although they know this day will come, it is still difficult for them to accept it.

But gradually, some accepting fans felt that Avril Lavigne and Gilbert Jr. were actually quite compatible, and they had a sense of CP.

On the eve of the Oscars, Edgewalker held a pre-airing media conference, and Avril Lavigne attended and performed the theme song and interlude of the series.

Afterwards, they took a photo with little Gilbert together with Scarlett, Emma Roberts and other female protagonists in the series.

The photo was featured on the cover of Variety magazine and was titled Little Emperor Gilbert and His Concubines.

However, this photo is biased, because Emma Roberts is still in the photo, and she is not Gilbert's woman yet. But according to the reporter, Emma Roberts will fall sooner or later.

A reporter swore that at the media meeting, Emma Roberts looked at little Gilbert with eyes that were full of admiration.

Of course, these are secondary.

At the media meeting, Gilbert Jr. once again elaborated on his plans for the Cyberpunk universe and said that subsequent films are in the planning stage.

His goal is to create a real and believable world in which the audience can immerse themselves.

But the series has to be successful for the whole series to move forward. If the series doesn't cause any response, it probably won't make any waves.

However, in previous internal version previews, the series received very high reviews and was widely believed to be able to make a mark in the market.

After the media meeting, Gilbert Jr. edited two versions of the trailer and released them to TV channels and the Internet.

At the same time, the official website has also begun to supplement and update some content about the cyberpunk worldview.

Not watching these contents actually has no impact on watching "EdgeWalker". After all, the story of "EdgeWalker" itself is complete enough.

The main purpose of popularizing the world view is to prepare for the following content. Gilbert Jr.'s cyberpunk plan is not just TV series and movies.

It also includes theme parks, game books, peripheral toys and other aspects.

This is a huge project, and the workload is quite large. Of course, if it is done well, the profit prospects are still considerable.
