If history does not change, the Lakers will still be the champions this season.

After taking the photo, Gilbert Jr. also said to Kobe Bryant: "If you have time, you might as well go and guide the young people in our team."

Gilbert Jr. was just being polite, but who knew Kobe was serious about it.

"Great, I have a training camp this summer and they can come along."

"Okay, I'll tell them later." Little Gilbert said with a smile.

May is not only a month for basketball games, but also a time when the summer season is in full swing. However, without Gilbert Jr., the summer season feels like a situation where there is no tiger in the mountain, so the monkey becomes king.

On May 5, another comic-based blockbuster "Wolverine" produced by 1th Century Fox was released.

Marvel Studios has always wanted to take back the copyright of "X-Men", but just as the "Spider-Man" series is the signature of Sony Columbia's series, 20th Century Fox will not give up the "X-Men" series.

Since there is nothing to shoot in the original movie, let's make a spin-off movie to tell the story of Wolverine's origin.

However, before its release, "Wolverine" suffered a serious film source leak incident, and the high-definition version of the film was circulated on the Internet.

On April 4, someone announced on the Internet that "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" was available for download.

At first, many people thought it was just an April Fool's joke, but as more and more people tried it, the joke turned into a cruel reality.

Whenever a blockbuster movie is released, there are always illegal ways for some of the films to be leaked on the Internet.

But these films often have touching pictures and noisy sound, but the version of "Wolverine" is very clear.

What’s even more shocking is that the leaked film turned out to be an unfinished version with special effects, and it was released a full month earlier than its North American release.

Although 20th Century Fox took timely action, the resources still spread like a virus and could not be stopped.

This leak inevitably reminds people of the leak of "Transformers", which was also an unfinished version of the special effects, which attracted a large number of fans.

Later rumors circulated that the leak was staged by Sky Studios itself.

So when the same thing happens again, it is inevitable that people can't help but suspect that this is also directed and acted by 20th Century Fox.

But 20th Century Fox's subsequent response did not seem to be self-directed or self-acted. Even the FBI got involved, proving the seriousness of the matter.

Even though the plot has been completely leaked, Wolverine’s charm is still there.

The film grossed $8505 million in its first week, a good start for the summer season. Although the box office has been declining, th Century Fox can rest assured.

The box office did not seem to be affected by the leak of the film source and performed well.

On May 7520, the weekend after "Wolverine", Paramount's "Star Trek" was released, ending "Wolverine's" dominance with a first weekend box office of $ million.

Paramount's "Star Trek" is a reboot. The beginning of the series seems to be very good and it also lays the foundation for the follow-up.

The following weekend, "Wolverine" earned $2603 million, plus the studio's $1506 million, bringing the North American box office to $1 million.

Gilbert Jr. paid special attention to the performance of "Wolverine", and the results did not surprise him.

Despite the film source leak, it is not difficult for the film to make a profit through box office, which means that 20th Century Fox will not let go of the copyright and will continue to use it.

This is a good thing, otherwise when the X-Men come back, Gilbert Jr. won’t know how to arrange these superheroes.

"Captain America" ​​was released in North America on April 1th and this week is its fourth weekend. The film's North American box office has reached 5231 million US dollars.

The overseas box office reached 1 million US dollars, and the global box office reached 6647 billion US dollars, which is barely acceptable. It is expected that a movie like "Captain America" ​​full of American spirit would not be well received overseas. However, the film was generally successful and created a new situation.

Iron Man 2 will be released in June, which is the focus of Marvel Studios this summer.

The movie "Knives Out" directed by Gilbert Jr. has basically reached the end of its screening during the summer season and has entered a stage where it relies on time to accumulate box office revenue.

The film has currently grossed $1 million in North America, and there is little hope of breaking through $8402 million.

The film's box office success in North America is not only due to the strong box office appeal of Gilbert Jr. and Tom Cruise, but also because of the exciting plot, which is an important element in attracting movie fans.

So far, the film has an IMDB score of 8.1, which is a film of good quality.

In terms of global box office, the film has already earned $4 million, which is basically the limit. However, for a film with a production cost of only $5362 million, this result is quite good.

Little Gilbert doesn't care much about the box office performance of his own films.

During the short vacation, Gilbert did not take his family out for a trip. Instead, he worked as a cowboy and farmer at his own Stardew Valley farm to experience rural life.

However, the tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop. He does not look for trouble, but trouble comes to him.

"Some people are asking about our water purchases and are even planning to file a complaint with the state legislature."

"Who?" Little Gilbert looked confused.

"A rich man named Stuart Resnick is in the farming business, so he needs a lot of water resources, but now most of the water resources in California are in our hands," Ivanka said.

"That's not surprising," Gilbert Jr. shrugged. "Then why didn't he contact us to buy water?"

"Honey, our water is more expensive than buying it from the state government."

"really."

Since he established a good relationship with Arnold Schwarzenegger and due to the impact of the financial crisis, Gilbert Jr. acquired the California Water Company.

Then, it continued to acquire multiple water resources and privatized them.

It is no exaggeration to say that Little Gilbert now owns more than 60 percent of California's water resources, almost a monopoly.

His water company is currently proposing a plan to build a reservoir between Los Angeles and San Francisco, blocking the water resources of Los Angeles and San Francisco.

To put it bluntly, the citizens of both places all act according to his will. If someone does not pay the water bill, he will close the reservoir, and all the citizens in the city will have to drink water from the Pacific Ocean.

Although California is close to the sea, its climate is dry and rainy, so water resources are very precious.

Didn't a politician say that the future will be a war for water resources? Since he has decided to take over California, of course Gilbert Jr. wants to control the resources.

Not only that, Gilbert Jr. also acquired Pacific Gas and Electric Company, a supplier of electricity and living energy in the West Coast region, but such an important enterprise was actually privately owned.

This is the advantage of a capitalist society. Since it is privately owned, little Gilbert is not polite.

He had so much cash flow that he stunned the company's shareholders and took over the company.

In other words, Californians will not only have to rely on him for water use, but also for electricity use. Even citizens cannot use natural gas for heating without his approval.

Of course, this series of actions could not be hidden from others, and this is when Stuart Resnick came to find him. (End of this chapter)
