Chapter 656 Old Friends
"We would like to invite you to be the artistic consultant for the Olympic Games."
Little Gilbert joked: "I thought you were asking me to be the director of the Olympic opening ceremony. I was just about to find a reason to refuse."
Lao Tian on the other end of the phone laughed after hearing this, 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, and we must find a domestic director to complete it."
"I understand," little Gilbert nodded and asked, "Have you decided who it is?"
"It's still under discussion. Currently, 4 candidates have been identified. We have to choose one of these 4 candidates."
"Can I know which 4 they are?"
Lao Tian on the other end of the phone pondered for a while, and then said; "Well, since you are the art consultant we hired, you also have the right to know the candidates and provide us with some opinions.
The four directors selected are Guo Shi Zhang, Ge Ge Chen, Ang Lee, and Wen Jiang. Who do you think is suitable? ”
Is this still a choice? Pigeon Chen and Li An were eliminated first. Wen Jiang's personal style was too strong and he was definitely not suitable for this position. The only one left was Zhang Guoshi.
Little Gilbert didn't think much and answered directly: "National Preceptor Zhang, no one is more suitable for this position than him."
"I think so too," Lao Tian agreed, and asked: "Then when do you have time to come to the capital, let's have a meeting and meet up."
Little Gilbert thought about his work schedule and said: "It will be almost summer, June or July!"
"Okay, I'll wait for you in the capital."
The matter was settled in this way. Although there is still more than a year before the Olympics, relevant preparations are already in progress.
Including the selection of Olympic torchbearers, program preparations for the opening and closing ceremonies, the construction of the Olympic Village, etc.
Having served as the artistic consultant for the Olympic Games, little Gilbert is naturally responsible. The assistant team flew to China to meet with the Olympic preparatory team, and little Gilbert communicated with the preparatory team via email.
He provided opinions on the general process of the opening and closing ceremonies, as well as mascot design, as well as the creation of the city's image and business cards, etc.
When the preparatory team communicated with little Gilbert, they were amazed that little Gilbert was worthy of being a world-class director. He was able to give so much advice to the preparatory team on an artistic level without reservation.
This is truly an old friend of the Chinese people and an international friend!
As everyone knows, little Gilbert is someone who has watched the Olympic Games once, which impressed him deeply. These mature suggestions all come from the Olympic Games in his memory.
Of course, he himself added some small changes, some little comments. The purpose is to make this Olympic Games a success and a good one.
The leader of the preparatory group spoke to Lao Tian: "Lao Tian, your opinion is really good. We should have invited little Gilbert long ago."
Lao Tian looked like he had been like this for a long time: "I just said invite little Gilbert! Although Spielberg is his teacher, in terms of level, I think little Gilbert has surpassed Spielberg.
< br>
What's more, inviting Gilbert Jr. might save some political trouble. ”
The leader thought about it and realized that foreign countries are not honest nowadays. Seeing that the Olympic Games was about to be held, everyone started to cause trouble and had to set up some obstacles.
If Spielberg is invited, he may face some unspeakable troubles. But little Gilbert basically doesn’t have this problem because he applied for political asylum at some point in the future.
This inexplicable relationship made the relationship between little Gilbert and here become more harmonious and more like one of his own.
To be honest, if it weren't for the inappropriateness, the organizing team would have really wanted to choose little Gilbert as the director of the Olympic opening ceremony.
Time flies so fast, and the incident of Britney Spears shaving her head at the beginning of the year seems to indicate that this year will not be peaceful in Hollywood. Britney Spears, once the American sweetheart idol, has now reached the point where she is hated by people and hated by dogs. Although external factors are huge, they prove more of a truth:
Luck can protect you for a while, but only by growing your brain can you go on for a long time.
In fact, this incident has little to do with little Gilbert, but because Avril Lavigne moved into the Melon Manor, the two incidents were connected.
Britney Spears stated on her social account that Avril Lavigne was just lucky enough to have hugged little Gilbert's lap, otherwise she would not be much different from herself.
Not to mention, many netizens who left comments below agreed with it.
According to Avril Lavigne's temper, if she doesn't stand up and reply, she won't be her. But little Gilbert stopped the irritable little punk princess, and Avril Lavigne was very angry and planned to write a song to scold him.
After moving into Melon Manor, Avril Lavigne moved the recording location of her new album from New York to Los Angeles and began to concentrate on her creation.
Then he went to see little Gilbert from time to time, either to eat or go shopping together, and even posted photos of the two together on social media.
Avril Lavigne also asked fans which photo she would choose for the album cover.
However, the fans who broke the defense most likely do not want to make a choice at this moment. Although they know that such a day will come, it is still difficult for the fans to accept it.
But gradually, fans who accepted it felt that Avril Lavigne and Little Gilbert were actually a good match, and the two had a sense of partnership.
On the eve of the Oscars, "Edgewalker" held a pre-air press conference, and Avril Lavigne attended to perform the theme song and interlude from the series.
Later, together with the leading actresses in the series such as Scarlett and Emma Roberts, they took a photo around little Gilbert.
The photo appeared on the cover of Variety magazine and was titled Emperor Gilbert Jr. and his concubines.
However, this photo is biased. After all, there is Emma Roberts in the photo, and she is not Little Gilbert's woman yet. But according to reporters, Emma Roberts will fall sooner or later.
Some reporters swore that during the media meeting, Emma Roberts looked at little Gilbert with eyes that were filled with admiration.
Of course, these are secondary.
At the media conference, Gilbert Jr. once again elaborated on his plans for the cyberpunk universe and said that follow-up films are being planned.
His purpose is to create a real and believable world that the audience can immerse themselves in.
But if the episode is successful, the entire series can move forward. If the series doesn't cause a stir, it probably won't make any waves.
However, in the previous internal version previews, the evaluation of the series was still very high, and everyone believed that it could make a difference in the market.
After the media meeting, Gilbert Jr. edited two versions of the trailer again and put them on TV channels and the Internet.
At the same time, the official website has also begun to add and update some content about the cyberpunk worldview.
Not watching these contents actually has no impact on watching "Edge Walker". After all, the story of "Edge Walker" itself is complete enough.
The purpose of popularizing the worldview is mainly to prepare for the next content. Little Gilbert's cyberpunk plan is not only about dramas and movies.
It also includes theme parks, game books, peripheral toys, etc.
This is a huge project and requires quite a lot of work. Of course, once done, the profit prospects are still very promising.
