Chapter 489 Excellent sequel movie performance
Although the "Batman" movie has not officially entered the preparation period, some advance preparations have already begun.
After the "Batman" project was officially announced to the outside world, some actors were ready to make a move. Even Tom Cruise, who was unavailable, asked about the possibility of playing Batman.
The most anxious person may be George Clooney. Since the failure of the 1997 version of "Batman", George Clooney has almost slipped from the first-line position.
Later, fortunately, I hugged the thigh of Steven Soderbergh, and with movies such as "Ocean's Eleven" and "Ocean's Twelve", I returned to the mainstream audience's vision.
In order to win the opportunity to play Batman again, George Clooney called Gilbert Jr., and his tone and attitude were very sincere.
But Gilbert Jr. only said he would give him a chance to audition and did not agree to George Clooney.
In fact, for the Batman project, Gilbert Jr. has already decided on Christian Bale. Christopher Nolan also talked to little Gilbert, and Bale was also very interested in the project.
However, little Gilbert decided to audition, mainly to observe what outstanding actors have appeared in Hollywood recently.
The final list handed over showed little Gilbert a lot of familiar names, such as Jake Gyllenhaal, Heath Ledger, Chris Evans, Cillian Murphy and other actors.
These are the kind of potential rising stars in Hollywood, but their net worth is not high. If you can get the role of Batman and collaborate with little Gilbert, it will be a huge leap.
The audition won't begin until little Gilbert returns from his vacation to Los Angeles.
There is never a shortage of news in the summer. The news of the "Batman" project was only a week old, and it was immediately replaced by the hot summer movie in the headlines.
The movie "The Day After Tomorrow" has not been popular for a week, and soon on June 4th, "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" will be released grandly.
This movie, which is eagerly awaited by little wizard fans around the world, opened simultaneously in 88 countries around the world, and held a grand premiere in the UK.
As a producer, Gilbert Jr. should be expected to support it, but the series has already gained a reputation and has many fans.
In addition, the malicious media has been focusing on his relationship with Emma Watson recently, and it feels like he has been put in jail just like the Eagle County incident.
So in order to avoid suspicion, little Gilbert did not attend the premiere.
In fact, he really didn't do it, it was Emma Watson who took the initiative, and then was rejected by little Gilbert. So far, the little girl has not even touched little Gilbert's mouth, so the two of them are innocent.
On the contrary, many people actually did it, but the media did not report it.
It can be seen from these gossipy news that some people have indeed become less and less fond of little Gilbert recently.
It may have been that little Gilbert had done something that they considered deviant, which led them to revoke little Gilbert's press protection.
Little Gilbert really doesn't have anything to do with him, and he's not Michael Jackson and Lao Da, so the fact that the gossip media is trying to make excuses has nothing to do with him.
Little Gilbert did not go to England, but the British side did not forget him.
In an interview on the red carpet at the premiere, Emma Watson said that she very, very much likes and admires director Gilbert Jr.
She is very grateful to Director Gilbert Jr. for choosing her to play the role of Hermione. She will definitely work hard to live up to Director Gilbert Jr.'s expectations.
Haley's words were more exaggerated than Emma Watson's. Starting from "The Sixth Sense" and telling the history of his cooperation with Little Gilbert, Emma Watson seemed less enthusiastic.
This also reflects the deep thinking of this little girl.
In order to cater to little Gilbert, she actively refused those bad habits, such as the popular habit of smoking marijuana in Hollywood and attending some messy parties.
Emma Watson refused, and she behaved like a pure girl, showing little Gilbert that she was very good and obedient.
I don’t know whether little Gilbert paid attention to her, but Emma Watson’s clean private life is like a breath of fresh air in Hollywood, which makes people shine.
You must know that Hailey changes girlfriends just like she changes clothes. It is really not easy for Emma Watson to stay clean in Hollywood, which is full of temptations.
Invisibly, the value of Emma Watson's personal image has increased a lot, and she has received a lot more brand endorsements.
When little Gilbert learned about it, he only had one sentence: "If a girl is clean and self-sufficient, it may be that her personal morals and upbringing are better.
But this girl is in Hollywood, so she must have ulterior motives. "
As for what the picture is, everyone understands it.
The premiere was quite successful, but Gilbert's focus was not on the three leading actors, but on Gary Oldman, who played Sirius.
Gary Oldman has played many abnormal people before, most of them villains. This time it is rare to play a positive character in "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban", and the effect is not bad.
Maybe after playing Sirius, Gary Oldman felt that he had to clear his name, so he said at the premiere that he could be cast in more good guy roles.
What he didn't know was that he had entered Little Gilbert's field of vision.
In this project in his previous life, Nolan asked Gary Oldman to play Henry Ducard, and Liam Neeson to play Sheriff Gordon.
But after reading the script, Gary Oldman said he was tired of playing the villain, while Liam Neeson said he was tired of playing the decent guy. Unfortunately, Nolan clapped his hands and switched their positions.
Sure enough, both of them had a wonderful chemical reaction with their characters, and each performed their roles very well.
Little Gilbert didn't have so many worries. He directly sent an invitation to Gary Oldman's agent, who quickly informed Gary Oldman.
So after the premiere, Gary Oldman got the news that Gilbert Jr. wanted to work with him.
Gary Oldman has a rather eccentric personality and is a Hollywood eccentric actor.
However, when he received the invitation from Gilbert Jr., he was not unconventional. He didn't even see what the script was, and he agreed immediately.
In the words of Gary Oldman, if he misses the opportunity to work with Gilbert Jr., he will regret it for the rest of his life.
Another actor, Liam Neeson, had just finished filming "Kingdom of Heaven" at this time and had a free schedule. Little Gilbert flew to his house and read the script to Liam Neeson.
After Liam Neeson read the script, Gilbert Jr. took it back: "I'm sorry, Liam, there is only this copy of the script. Due to the need for confidentiality, I can't leave it to you."
Liam Neeson smiled bitterly: "Little Gilbert, at least let me study the role of Henry Ducard!"
"Hahaha, Liam, when the crew is officially preparing, they will let you study it clearly." Little Gilbert made it clear to Liam Neeson in advance: "But you have to be prepared, and you may need some action training."
Liam Neeson immediately said there was no problem: "Of course, I'm always ready."
The most complained-about Nolan version of the previous life was the bad action scenes, but in fact Nolan used an action mode called Casey Fighting in the film.
This kind of fighting technique is not very attractive to watch, but it is very practical.
Little Gilbert was not prepared to adopt this kind of fighting technique, for the simple reason that it would not look good in photos.
He told action director Luca Farias: "We need an action model that combines practical skills and power beauty to complete the filming of the film's action scenes."
At the request of little Gilbert, Luca Farias began to visit some fighting masters and kung fu masters. I have seen Taekwondo, Muay Thai, Ji Do Karate, Jeet Kune Do and other fighting arts.
Then, together with his action coaching team, he continued to practice and discuss with these fighting experts, and finally compiled a set of fighting techniques that have a real combat feel and look good when fighting.
Because it combines many fighting skills, Jiu Jitsu, Brazilian war dance and other skills, the name of this set of fighting skills is called Luka Mixed Martial Arts.
The routines are researched, and the next step is to train the actors.
However, before the formal actor training, Luca Farias's first task was to train the stand-ins for the leading actors. Although some action scenes require the protagonists to perform in person, high-risk action scenes still require stunt doubles to complete.
Going back to the movie "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban", based on the fan base of the first two games, this movie achieved a box office of $93.673 million in its first week.
Although it failed to break 100 million in its first week, the box office in its first week was enough to make "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" the new North American box office champion.
It also created huge surprises overseas, with a total box office of US$182.406 million. Including the North American box office, the global box office reached US$276.079 million.
With little Gilbert in charge, the series did not fail to continue with the third part like in its previous life. Instead, it maintained a very good reputation as a sequel.
At this rate, it is estimated that "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" is likely to double the box office in North America and the world this year.
But don't worry, there are bigger ones behind.
The live-action version of "Garfield" released by Fox was released on June 11. This small-budget comedy film grossed US$21.772 million at the box office in its first weekend, which is not a threat to "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban".
The film achieved two consecutive championships, with a North American box office of US$165.338 million and a global box office of US$453.602 million, a very outstanding box office result.
Just look at the speed of box office accumulation, and with the good reputation and quality, it has exploded with incredible energy.
The movie that can threaten "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" is "Spider-Man 2", which will be released on June 30. Two videos, one at the beginning and the other at the end.
In the meantime, films such as "Dodgeball", "My Love Story" and "Fahrenheit 9/11" were released.
Among them, "Fahrenheit 911" is special. It is a documentary and the content is relatively sensitive.
As of the weekend when "Garfield" is released, "Warrior" has been released in North America and overseas markets for six weeks. The North American box office reached US$272 million, and the global box office reached US$661 million.
For an original crime-themed movie, this box office result is quite good.
However, this also means that the film has basically withdrawn from the competition for the box office championship this year.
This is not surprising. If Gilbert Jr.'s "Warriors" grossed 400 to 500 million in box office in North America and more than 1 billion in global box office, there would be ghosts in this world.
It is precisely because the box office performance is in line with cognition that the world and the movie market appear to be extremely real, preventing little Gilbert from doubting himself.
