Chapter 511 Too many ideas
Because of this matter, little Gilbert also approached Disney and Warner.
He specifically said to Robert Iger: "I am setting a trap for the Ellison boy. Don't be fooled. Just cooperate with Ivanka."
Robert Iger understood and said with a smile: "I don't know if David Ellison is lucky or not, but he actually asked you to set him up personally."
"Oh," little Gilbert said, pretending to be helpless, "I don't want to either. He bullied others too much, so I have to teach him a lesson."
"Okay, I will let Disney cooperate with this matter, but will these projects really lose money?" Robert Iger had questions.
"Of course," little Gilbert said, "I am a director of Disney, can I still lie to you?"
"Then I'll be relieved." When he heard about losing money, Robert Egger was no longer interested.
Gilbert Jr. said the same thing as Warner's Doug Walter, but the focus of their discussion was on "Batman Begins."
Doug Walter made it clear that Warners wanted to adopt a conservative release strategy and conduct at least three preview screenings first.
If Little Gilbert's project is Warner's godson, after all, it needs to cooperate with Disney, and the two jointly hold shares of Cantaloupe Studios.
Melon Studios operates independently, and Warner and Disney will not interfere.
The "Batman" series is Warner's biological son. Warner executives definitely don't want this biological son to die so easily, and they must insist on rescuing him.
"The theaters also want to adapt, and we also need test screenings to build up reputation." Doug Walter said.
"Little Gilbert, time is a bit tight. Can the film be completed as scheduled?" This is the question that Doug Walter is most concerned about.
"Don't worry, Doug," little Gilbert assured: "The post-production is currently progressing very smoothly and it will be completed on time."
Doug Walter felt much more relieved after hearing little Gilbert's assurance.
The project "Batman" is very special. It is a well-known superhero movie series, but it left a bad impression on the audience because of its previous failure.
Even if Gilbert Jr. is replaced as the director, this bad impression still cannot be completely eliminated, and many viewers still have doubts.
This can be seen from the promotion of little Gilbert on his social account.
The comments below are all in addition to the fans who continue to support Little Gilbert. Many people have doubts, suspecting that even little Gilbert can't save Batman from the quagmire.
This is normal, even if you are a loyal fan of Gilbert Jr., you will still have your own preferences for Gilbert Jr.'s movies.
Some people like this movie, some people like that movie, and some people like other movies.
This is the same as the comments under Jay Chou's song. Some people say that "Chapter 7 of the Night" is good and should be ranked first. But some people say that "Qili Xiang" is the most perfect and should be ranked first.
Some people feel that other songs must be ranked and compared.
It's obviously a song by the same singer, but because of the song, fans are divided into different groups. Those who listen to this despise that, and those who listen to that despise this.
The same situation exists among Little Gilbert's fan base. Some people think "The Matrix" is good, some think "The Return of the King" is the best, and some think "Saving Private Ryan" is number one.
So everyone started quarreling, and it was strange for outsiders to watch it. Aren't these all Little Gilbert's films?
Warner cooperated with the crew of "Beginners" and began to carry out preliminary publicity activities.
On the eve of the Super Bowl, Gilbert Jr. specially attended the unveiling ceremony of the Chicago Police Headquarters Plaza. The Batmobile that was beaten to pieces in the Chicago robbery also stood in the center of the square for people to pay their respects.
The Chief of the Chicago Police Department and Gilbert Jr. completed a cordial and friendly exchange. The two took a group photo and then accepted interviews with the media.
The chief said: "I have been a fan of Batman since I was a child and grew up reading Batman comics. Because of Batman, I joined the police force to fight against evil." Little Gilbert also said: "Punish evil and promote evil." Being kind and building a better society is the consensus of each of us, and the Chicago police have made a lot of efforts to achieve this consensus.
Just like Batman in the movie, if everyone dared to fight evil, the world would be a much better place. "
This is a win-win in itself, and the Chicago police need Batman to help them build a good image. And Batman also needs to return to people's hearts again, and the two parties hit it off.
In addition, Little Gilbert also continued to release materials through social accounts, including posters, stills, etc., to attract the audience's attention.
Among the most liked ones are Christian Bale wearing a Batman suit standing on the rooftop overlooking Gotham, and a still of the Batmobile.
Another most popular one is a still photo of Rachel played by Jennifer Connelly. Sure enough, beautiful women are still very popular.
In conjunction with the crew, the actors also initially participated in promotional activities, such as Christian Bale, Gilbert Jr., and Jennifer Connelly appearing at Highbury Stadium to watch an Arsenal game.
Since becoming the chairman of Arsenal, Gilbert Jr. has really done what he said. Except for personnel and finance, he has not cared about anything else.
Professor Wenger received a large amount of money during the transfer period and acted as a troublemaker everywhere, disrupting the transfer market. Together with Chelsea, clubs such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Manchester United were in deep crisis.
The most interesting thing is that Professor Wenger also loves to compete with Sir Alex Ferguson. Whichever Manchester United buys, Arsenal must participate.
In the end, Manchester United had to pay more than originally planned to buy their favorite star. As for Professor Wenger, he was a troublemaker while acquiring his favorite stars.
The club is not short of money, the new stadium is fully funded, the transfer period is promising, and the player salaries are not worse than those of other wealthy clubs.
Professor Wenger also retained the team's main lineup, strengthened the team and prepared for three-line operations in the new season to compete for the championship.
Since the start of the season, continuing last season's performance, Arsenal has achieved 53 games unbeaten in the Premier League. It wasn't until Sir Alex Ferguson schemed against Manchester United that he lost to Manchester United 0:1.
However, despite this, the strong Arsenal still made the Premier League and European football scream wolf, and this wolf looks very strong.
And little Gilbert has become the strangest owner in the Premier League. After buying the team, he doesn't seem to care about the team and doesn't even watch the games.
Next door, Abramovich still watches Chelsea games every now and then. Although under the coaching of Magic Bird, Chelsea's games are not very good to watch and are far less entertaining than Arsenal's games.
So when the team changed ownership and the owner Gilbert Jr. appeared at Highbury Stadium, the stadium's big screen gave a close-up.
Little Gilbert also stood up and waved to the fans, who also welcomed the team owner with warm applause.
At this time, the advertising boards outside Highbury Stadium have been replaced with posters for "Batman Begins." If you go to the stadium to watch the game, you will definitely notice the promotional posters.
Using football to advertise has a very good effect. Even if you are not an Arsenal fan, you will definitely notice this strange combination.
In fact, because this year's "Batman Begins" was released at the end of May, it happened to coincide with the Champions League final.
So Gilbert Jr. made a rather bold decision, just like when he first proposed placing a movie advertisement on the Super Bowl in 1993.
That is, put the movie advertisement into the Champions League final scene and link football with Batman.
I have to say that this decision is indeed bold, because the advertising prices of the Champions League are sky-high. Usually only big brands and conglomerates would think of advertising in the Champions League, but never in movies.
If little Gilbert did this, it would probably be a precedent. Of course, whether the effect will be good or not is another matter.
This year's Champions League final was held in Istanbul, Turkey. Little Gilbert vaguely remembered that there seemed to be a miracle in Istanbul. I don't know if it was this time.
