Chapter 518 I want to make progress so much
"David, are you really here?"
Little Gilbert was surprised to see David Ellison on the set of "Batman Begins."
As Scarlett said before, send an invitation to David Ellison and see if he can come. As a result, David Ellison really came, which surprised little Gilbert.
David Ellison looked worried, he obviously didn't want to come, but Michael Ovitz and Martin Bob were right.
If you want to defeat Little Gilbert, you have to understand Little Gilbert.
Little Gilbert's success is not due to luck, but his own talent and strength are the foundation. If you don't understand little Gilbert, it's probably impossible to imagine defeating little Gilbert.
David Ellison was not a fool, so he took the advice, accepted the invitation, and came to the premiere.
David Ellison changed his mood slightly, and then introduced the girl next to him: "Little Gilbert, let me introduce, this is my sister, Megan Ellison."
"Hello, Miss Ellison..." Little Gilbert shook hands with Megan Ellison.
Megan Ellison is obviously interested in him as a great director: "Nice to meet you, little Director Gilbert, I often hear my father talking about you."
"Oh? What did he say?"
"He said you are an unparalleled super film genius who has influenced human history."
Little Gilbert smiled and said, "Mr. Ellison is overrated. I just like making movies."
"Really? I like it too." Megan Ellison was very enthusiastic, completely different from her brother me: "Let's have coffee together when we have time. I also want to enter the film industry. Maybe you can give me some advice."
"Meghan..." David Ellison sounded slightly dissatisfied.
"I'm sorry," Megan Ellison stopped. "I hope your movie will be a hit."
"Thank you, and I wish you a happy viewing of the movie. David, watch and study hard. Not everyone can learn my skills." Little Gilbert turned to David Ellison and said this.
David Ellison snorted coldly, pulled Megan Ellison into the theater.
Megan Ellison turned back and gave little Gilbert a phone gesture, meaning to contact him.
"This little girl is much more interesting than her brother." At some point, Cameron Diaz stood next to little Gilbert and said.
Little Gilbert expressed his approval: "Girls today are very smart, and Megan Ellison is no exception. After all, she is Larry Ellison's daughter."
"I see she is very interested in you."
"I have no interest in becoming Larry Ellison's son-in-law," Gilbert Jr. asked instead, "Are all the media and guests here?"
"You're in, you can start at any time."
"Okay, let's go in!"
After finding his seat and sitting down, David Ellison ignored the strange looks from the people around him and took out his notebook and pen in a serious manner, intending to study and record.
"Oh, I can't tell, you quite like studying." Scarlett's mocking voice sounded, and David looked up and saw her.
Scarlett continued to speak in a monotonous nasal voice imitating Sophia: "It's a pity, there are some things that cannot be learned unless you are reincarnated and do it all over again."
David Ellison glared and did not respond. The memory of the spider last time was still fresh in his mind, and he was afraid that the girl in front of him would make another mischief.
On the contrary, it was Megan Ellison who spoke to Scarlett very friendly: "I like your movies very much, Miss Johnson."
"Really? Which one do you like?"
"Lost in Translation, I watched it twice."
Scarlett is a person who loves soft things but not hard words. As soon as she heard these words, she had a good impression of Megan Ellison. However, she knew that David and Megan were brother and sister, so her attitude could not be said to be good.
"Then you should watch "Pumping Heart", which is my favorite work." Sijia said.
"I like that too..."
When the two were about to continue chatting, little Gilbert called her from the front: "Scarlett, sit down quickly, the movie will start soon."
"Okay," Scarlett immediately put down the two David brothers and ran to sit down on the seat next to little Gilbert. She looked very well-behaved and looked like two people from before.
"What did you do just now?" asked little Gilbert.
"Nothing, I just went to say hello." Sijia replied.
Little Gilbert knocked Scarlett on the head: "You, you are always so naughty, you are giving me face anyway, you have to be more polite."
"Just come, why don't we do it without them? Humph!"
Looking at the arrogant Scarlett, little Gilbert shook his head speechlessly.
The movie soon started, and David Ellison calmed down. He secretly told himself that he must watch this movie from an objective perspective.
He also wants to understand that he was too subjective and overconfident before, but now he has to take the matter of being in Hollywood seriously.
I have to say that from another aspect, it was little Gilbert who made David Ellison grow. How could David Ellison start over and grow without suffering some setbacks?
Dante Cortez found his seat and sat down, wearing a limited edition Batman-shaped necklace around his neck, which immediately attracted the attention of a middle-aged white man next to him.
"Wow, man, is this a limited edition Batman necklace released in 1987?"
Dante Cortez was stunned for a moment, then happily said: "Yes, you are also a fan of Batman?"
"No, I'm not, but I was rushing to buy it, but I didn't get it." The middle-aged white man introduced himself: "My name is Noel, and I am a fan of the "Lord of the Rings" series."
"My name is Dent, and I'm a Batman fan."
The two had a cordial and pleasant exchange, and Noel said: "Ever since "The Lord of the Rings," I had no interest in going to the cinema to watch movies for two or three years. Everything felt boring.
This time I saw the trailer for "Beginners" and I felt good about it, so I came. "
"Really? The "Lord of the Rings" series is indeed a classic." Dante Cortez agreed: "It was also because of the "Lord of the Rings" series that I gained confidence in Little Gilbert.
I believe he can bring Batman back to life. "
"Me too..."
The two people were sitting relatively close to the media area. Reporter Barry, who was in the front row, listened to the conversation between the two fans and secretly said that the Batman movie would not be easy to save!
The most important thing is the box office and audience reputation.
One of these two is not up to par, and even if he is as strong as Gilbert Jr., he cannot save this series.
In the theater, because the movie hasn't started yet, everyone is exchanging their opinions with each other. Those who came to the premiere were basically loyal fans, and everyone still had confidence in little Gilbert.
I don't know who shouted: "The movie has started..."
The theater instantly dimmed and a movie started playing on the big screen.
The Sofitel Grand Theater underwent some renovations last year and installed two IMAX screens. The premiere was held in the largest IMAX theater.
When the guest media and movie fans focused their attention on the big screen, they suddenly discovered that this screen was much larger than the usual screens in movie theaters.
"Is this an IMAX theater? How does it look?" David Ellison is considered an insider.
He knew that directors such as Gilbert Jr. and James Cameron admired this kind of IMAX format movies. Since seven or eight years ago, the two major directors have cooperated with IMAX to develop new photography and projection systems.
It was not until today in 2005 that the first movie "Batman Begins" produced in the IMAX format was officially released.
No one knows what IMAX format movies will look like, but since Gilbert Jr. can bring this technology to the market, it proves that this technology has matured.
David Ellison quickly noticed the difference. The titles of Warner Pictures and DC Pictures flashed, and a group of bats flew past in the dim sky, gradually forming the shape of a giant bat.
In the IMAX format, the picture is wider, the definition is higher and fuller, and David Ellison also felt the vibration of his eardrums.
According to IMAX's introduction, IMAX technology not only includes this big screen, but also a newly designed sound system to maximize immersion.
Just like the slogan of IMAX: Watching a movie or being in it?
Viewers who have never had an IMAX viewing experience were obviously shocked, including the creators.
Christian Bale was sitting in the front row. He had to look up to watch the big screen, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
However, he was so shocked by the shocking effect that he was speechless. All his negative emotions were washed away by the positive feedback brought by IMAX.
"God, this picture, this sound, this, this, this..." George Lucas was also shocked: "The effect is so good, so good."
George Lucas is known as a technical director, but he looked slightly in the direction of Gilbert Jr. and secretly said that Gilbert Jr. is actually a director who plays with technology.
Using IMAX, which shoots documentaries, for film production is a genius innovation. George Lucas can definitely say that this completely changed the ecological landscape of the film industry.
He has already begun to imagine what it would be like if Gilbert Jr. directed the "Star Wars" series in IMAX format?
However, the conditions put forward by Little Gilbert made George Lucas hesitate. After all, Lucasfilm and Industrial Light & Magic are both valuable and are quite high-quality assets.
Another person who had the same idea was Spielberg, who also came from a technical background.
With his many years of experience, he knew from the first scene of the movie that the movie was stable. The IMAX format is a new thing for all movie fans.
Even if the movie has some dullness or flaws in the plot, IMAX is enough to make up for this shortcoming and greatly enhance the movie-watching experience.
However, there are currently only 125 IMAX theaters in the United States, with 264 screens. It’s still a niche format and has a limited audience it can carry.
Moreover, the ticket price of IMAX format theaters is more than 60% higher than that of ordinary movie theaters, so there may not be many audiences who can experience it.
Spielberg is also looking forward to the success of the movie. When the time comes, he will learn from Gilbert's experience and make an IMAX movie of his own.
I have to say that you can say that Spielberg has exhausted his talent, or you can say that he is old and outdated. But his attitude of not resting on his laurels and embracing and accepting new technologies is worth learning from many people.
Not just in the film industry, but in all industries, things are always moving forward.
Those who are conservative and do not think about progress will one day be abandoned by the times. Everyone is the same and not immune.
The IMAX format of "Beginners" has given the audience a great sensory shock, but this movie has just begun.
