Chapter 694 Looking Forward


Chapter 694 Preview

Although Gilbert Jr. was busy bickering with some media and people, he still did not forget his own job, post-production on "The Dark Knight."

After a year, Gilbert Jr. returned to the summer season, and the impact it had was undoubtedly huge.

Warner Pictures announced in December that "The Dark Knight" will be released on May 2, and will be released in 33 countries and regions simultaneously with North America.

Due to the time difference, markets such as China, Japan and South Korea in Asia can see the movie "The Dark Knight" earlier than North America.

The Chinese side gave the green light for the whole process. Although the Chinese side did not respond directly to the scolding war that took place at the beginning of this year, little Gilbert's kindness was still remembered.

It has been decided above that little Gilbert will be officially awarded the title of International Friend during the Olympic Games and will be presented with a set of national gift porcelain.

So far, only two people have received the national gift of porcelain, namely the Canadian doctor Bethune and the German John Rabe.

Little Gilbert will be the third, and there's a reason why he got this set of national gift porcelain.

Obviously, in today's turbulent times. There are evil tendencies outside, but at this time, little Gilbert can firmly stand on the side of justice and justice, which moves the Chinese people very much.

At this point, little Gilbert appears to be worthy of his reputation as the Olympic artistic consultant. He also became the first foreign celebrity on the Chinese list.

In this case, as long as his movie doesn't have very illegal scenes or content, it's basically a green light.

Today's Chinese film market is booming. Compared with the same period in previous generations, it is much better. In 2007, a total of 13 movies exceeded RMB 100 million. Only five of these 13 movies were Hollywood movies, and the rest were Chinese-language movies.

Although the annual box office championship is still occupied by the Hollywood blockbuster "Spider-Man 3" with a box office of 542 million, the second-placed "Assembly" still scored a box office of 506 million, becoming the first Chinese film to break the 500 million box office.

The fourth-placed "Nomination" received 421 million, only 6.5 million RMB less than "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" at the box office.

The market is also full of hundreds of schools of thought, with everything from war films to action films to comedies and romance films. Of course, science fiction movies are not affordable for the time being.

Even so, the past year 2007 still created the best results since the film market reform, which also affirmed the results of the film market.

One result of the huge sales of so many movies is the crazy influx of capital hot money.

These days, the financial backers in the Chinese-language film and television industry have nothing to do with major Internet companies. Nowadays, the hot money from coal bosses and real estate companies dominates the entertainment industry.

Guo Fan's partner, Boss Wang, is a coal boss with billions of assets. Guo Fan got investment from Boss Wang and established his own company.

Of course, he did not disappoint Boss Wang. The cumulative box office of the two films was more than 40 million yuan, which is enough for the young Guo Fan to become a potential director.

Now that Guo Fan has come to Hollywood again to further his studies, Boss Wang is very much looking forward to the day when Guo Fan becomes a ghost and calls.

That's right, after "The Dark Knight", Gilbert Jr. did not let Guo Fan go back, but kept him working at Cantaloupe Studios.

Currently, Guo Fan is working as an assistant director on another project of Xianggua Studio. This project is based on a novel called "Twilight".

Gilbert Jr. obtained the rights to the novel very early and finally put it into production at the beginning of this year.

This year, Melon Studios also released "District 9" directed by Christopher Nolan, as well as the action film "Fast and Furious 4", all of which were released in the summer.

Compared to several movies from last year, these two movies look much less competitive. Although "The Dark Knight" was directed by Gilbert Jr., this film does not belong to Melon Film Studio, but to Warner Pictures.

Warner Pictures is also very interesting. In addition to "The Dark Knight", this year it also released "Four Christmases", "Classic Cars", "Ten Thousand Years Before History", "The Bucket List" and other movies.

However, except for "The Dark Knight", the rest are scattered in the spring and autumn releases, and are not very competitive.

The most eye-catching ones are DreamWorks, Lucasfilm and Paramount Pictures. Spielberg has made enough literary films and is preparing to return to the summer schedule.

He has brought a sequel to a classic adventure movie, "Raiders of the Lost Ark: The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," which will hit theaters on May 22.

With DreamWorks on the rocks, Spielberg had a great influence on Paramount Pictures. The original partner Universal Pictures broke up with Spielberg when he founded DreamWorks.

Now that DreamWorks is falling apart, Spielberg has returned to being a simple film director. He is still one of the most sought-after film directors in Hollywood.

But in this day and age, he is no longer the most sought-after one. There are already many film directors in Hollywood who have made outstanding achievements, especially his student Gilbert Jr., who is the first commercial film director in Hollywood.

However, Spielberg obviously will not give in to old age. This time he returns to the summer season with the sequel of this classic series just to see how much gas he still has in his mailbox.

After Sony Columbia Pictures announced the schedule of "The Dark Knight", it also announced the schedule of "Hancock", which will be released on July 2.

This movie changed the male lead, Brad Pitt partnered with Charlize Theron, I don't know how the effect will be. However, Sony Columbia is still very optimistic about the film and has spent a lot of resources to promote it.

Disney's "The Chronicles of Narnia 2" is scheduled to be released on May 16, and "Kung Fu Panda" produced by Pixar Animation Studios is scheduled to be released on June 6.

Universal Pictures' "Assassins" and "Mamma Mia" are scheduled to be released on June 20 and July 18 respectively, and MGM's latest "Quantum of Solace" is also scheduled to be released on July 18.

"Thor," produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Disney, will be released in March. The summer schedule was too crowded, and this film didn't have any well-known movie stars, so it escaped the summer schedule.

There is an interesting thing about the movie "Thor". At first, Kevin Feige and director Kenneth Branagh wanted to cast an A-list actor.

But after little Gilbert saw it, they all rejected it one after another. The reason for the rejection was that these people were too short and did not have the feeling of God.

What does God feel like? They should be tall and strong, so little Gilbert was not satisfied with these actors.

He does know who the actor who plays Thor is, but the problem is that the actor named Chris Hayworth can't be found at all.

Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the worse. Actor Sean Bean, who had worked with Gilbert Jr. on "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring," recommended Luke Hayworth to Gilbert Jr.

Through Luke Hayworth, little Gilbert successfully found his brother, Chris Hayworth, who is currently working as a miner.

So Luke Hayworth was out, and his brother Chris Hayworth became the star.

Although Chris Hayworth has little acting experience, at least he has extensive experience in using hammers, and he is close to the role of Thor.

Gilbert Jr. had the final say, so his chosen characters, Kevin Feige and Kenneth Branagh, didn't understand it but followed the rules.
