Chapter 626 Groundless accusation
"Did you tell us why Will Smith refused?" Gilbert Jr. asked.
Akiva Goldsman, who served as the screenwriter and producer of the film, hesitated, looked at little Gilbert, and did not dare to say anything.
"What? Is it still related to me?"
"Yes, Will Smith said he didn't want to cooperate with you." Akiva Goldsman still told the truth: "I met him in person, mainly because his wife Jada Smith objected."
Little Gilbert was curious. He had no enmity with the Smiths, so he asked: "What is the reason for the objection?"
"They didn't say it, but I think it has a lot to do with you."
"It's inexplicable." Little Gilbert said speechless: "Since Will Smith doesn't want to participate, let's find another actor!"
"Okay, do you have a suitable candidate in mind." Akiva Goldsman asked.
"Let me think about it..." Little Gilbert knocked on the table and started thinking.
There are not many characters in "I Am Legend", so the male protagonist's role is very important. Casting a newcomer or a second- or third-tier actor will not be able to hold the box office.
Therefore, the film must have a first-line male star with box office appeal. Will Smith was chosen entirely because he also starred in previous films.
But since people don't want to act now, little Gilbert doesn't force it. No one in Hollywood is indispensable, except little Gilbert himself.
In fact, if you don’t consider the role, Jason Statham is quite suitable. Dwayne Johnson can also be used, but he is slightly 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 Gausman nodded: "Okay, I'll contact you."
After Akiva Goldsman left, little Gilbert thought for a while and called Sophia again: "Hey, Sophia, what have you been busy with recently?"
"Little Gilbert, you don't even care about me." Sofia over there is busy: "I just directed a movie "Marie Marie" and I plan to compete for the Oscar.
I just wanted to call you and tell you something. ”
"What is it?" Little Gilbert was curious.
Sophia hesitated for a while and then said: "I heard a rumor related to you."
Little Gilbert frowned: "What rumors are related to me? Are there not many rumors related to me in Hollywood?"
"No, the main reason is that this rumor has a nose and an eye, and I heard there are witnesses." Sofia said anxiously: "Does Jada Smith know?"
"You know, Will Smith's wife, is she related to her?"
"Yeah, the latest rumor is that you molested her in a trailer during the filming of The Matrix 2."
"????" A question mark popped up on little Gilbert's head: "Me? Molested her? How is that possible?"
"I don't think it's possible, but there are witnesses this time. It is said that there are also photos." Sofia asked cautiously: "You didn't really do it, did you?"
"What are you talking about?" Little Gilbert was furious: "Would I molest a woman like that? She's so ugly."
Seeing that little Gilbert's angry tone didn't sound fake, Sophia believed it: "Let me tell you, your aesthetic has always been a delicate face, big waves and long legs. How can you possibly like a woman like Jada Smith?< br>
Still obscene? How many women will be sent to you automatically if you wave your hand..."
"Okay," little Gilbert said speechless: "I asked you to ask Nicolas if he has any schedule to star in a movie of which I am the producer."
"What movie is it?"
""I Am Legend" is a movie adapted from a doomsday novel. I think Nikolai is very suitable."
"Okay, I'll ask him." Sofia agreed immediately, but then said worriedly: "Little Gilbert, you have to be careful. With your status today, not many people dare to mess with you.
The person who dared to instruct Jada Smith to mess with you this time must be a powerful person. "Thank you, Sophia." "Little Gilbert thanked him.
Sophia dared to tip off the news, so she must have taken risks, which showed that she was on her side.
"If you want to thank me, thank my father. He asked me to inform you." Sofia said, "My father asked you to come and have a cup of coffee when you have time."
"Okay, once this matter is finished, I will definitely visit in person." Little Gilbert agreed.
The Italian gang as a whole was still on his side, which made little Gilbert feel reassured. However, this inexplicable accusation still makes little Gilbert a little troubled. Who is planning to take advantage of him?
Back at Melon Manor, Naomi Watts, Charlize Theron, Jennifer Connelly and others were also there.
Little Gilbert also called his agent Sheena Boone, public relations manager Marco Wald, and his cousin, now Fruit Group executive Ellie Metz, and others.
After everyone arrived, little Gilbert told the big guys what he heard from Sophia.
After hearing this, everyone looked at each other and felt incredible.
Naomi Watts frowned and said: "Isn't this a little 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 facts."
Jennifer Connelly added: "Not only is it a matter of public opinion, we are not afraid of public opinion either. We have the advantage of online media, and there are several influential print media.
The problem is that they are afraid of prosecution and the prosecutorial agency will cooperate. ”
Sheena Boone agreed: "Yes, little Gilbert, there must be cooperation from Washington in attacking you this time."
"What's the point?" asked little Gilbert.
"It's very simple, cousin." Cousin Ellie Metz, who works in a fruit company, is well aware of the wealth hidden under the water of her cousin: "They are eyeing your wealth.
It also feels like you're a misfit, so this adventure is about getting rid of you and dividing your wealth. ”
Marco Wold said: "Gilbert, although you have focused on the development of your career over the years, you have ignored the changes in the surrounding environment.
Hollywood is not just Hollywood, it involves all aspects, all kinds of forces are involved, and it’s a mixed bag. As a leader, your circle is too small. ”
Little Gilbert was stunned: "My circle is still small? I am already 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 capital annexation war."
Marco Wald is very serious: “Those families and consortiums that have made fortunes in 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 uneasy. ”
"Does it mean that by not going to those messy parties, I pissed them off?" Little Gilbert asked.
"I think so."
Little Gilbert was speechless. It turned out that not wanting to be like the light was also a sin. The key point is that your party is not serious, it is just some kind of messy multi-person sports meeting.
They also have to leave videos, photos, etc. as a reference for each other. What’s the point of participating in such a circle?
Little Gilbert looked at Naomi Watts, Charlize Theron, and Jennifer Connelly, who was preparing to have a baby after filming "The Day the Earth Stood Still."
The thought of taking his women to these parties and then asking them to serve other men made little Gilbert feel inexplicably angry.
"Bang!" Little Gilbert slapped the table: "No one can force me to compromise, I will kill whoever forces me!"
Looking at little Gilbert in a furious state, everyone was basically not surprised. Little Gilbert has this temper. If he could compromise, he would have compromised long ago.
