Chapter 112 Nicolas Cage’s long-legged model party
In the Santa Monica Beach Villa area, in a villa near the Marina Avenue, the music was booming and passionate.
When you walk into the swimming pool behind the villa, you will find a dozen beauties with long legs and blonde hair wearing sexy swimsuits.
They were either swimming, lying on beach chairs, or playing in the water, patting their butts, drinking wine, and ogling.
More details cannot be expressed in words, you have to experience it yourself.
When little Gilbert came in, Nicolas Cage was holding two blondes in his arms, and a blonde was kneeling in front of his lap, and then...
Little Gilbert was speechless. He saw this scene as soon as he came in. Does Uncle Cage want to test him with this?
"Ahem..." Little Gilbert pretended to cough.
Only then did Nicolas Cage notice him, nodded and motioned for him to sit down, then patted the blonde in his arms and asked her to pour the wine.
The other two blondes pretended not to see little Gilbert and did whatever they had to do.
After the wine was delivered, Nicolas Cage shook hands with little Gilbert: "You are little Gilbert."
"Yes, I am." Little Gilbert looked around the villa with his eyes, where the blondes were playing.
Little Gilbert smiled slightly and said, "I learned about you from Sofia. I heard that you are a good actor, so I want to work with you once."
"Haha," Nicolas Cage threw away the blondes and sat next to little Gilbert, looking at him as if he wanted to see through him.
Little Gilbert touched his nose and said, "Mr. Cage, when the guests are here, you should at least put on some clothes instead of walking around naked and swinging that thing."
Nicolas Cage didn't take it seriously, but said carelessly: "I heard that your Landrini family are very strong, but I don't accept it, so I want to compete with you."
"How do you compare these things? Comparing size?" Little Gilbert asked.
"No, we are better than women." Nicolas Cage said, pointing to a dozen blondes and said: "We are better than conquering these women."
Little Gilbert was speechless. It turned out that Nicolas Cage came to him for a bank party.
To be honest, it's not that little Gilbert can't hold a silver party, but he is quite selfish personally and doesn't want other men to be present when he holds a silver party.
So little Gilbert decisively refused: "Sorry, Mr. Cage, I came to you to talk about the movie, not this.
If you don't want to act, you don't have to. "
After saying that, little Gilbert was about to say goodbye and leave.
When Nicolas Cage saw this, he quickly stopped little Gilbert: "You are indeed living a Puritan-like life as rumored by the outside world. No wonder you can achieve great results at such a young age."
Little Gilbert had a question mark on his forehead. He already had three girlfriends. Is this still a puritan-like life? It’s just that there is no silver party!
After that, Nicolas Cage drove the blondes away, finally put on his clothes, and chatted normally with little Gilbert.
"Tell me, what kind of movie are you looking for me to star in? Let me tell you first, I am not interested in starring as a boxer." Nicolas Cage declared in advance.
In previous interviews, many celebrity actors expressed their willingness to cooperate with little Gilbert, and said that they would be willing to play a boxer father or a boxer mother.
Of course, these star actors do not include the maverick Nicolas Cage.
Little Gilbert shook his head, and then said: "Of course not. In fact, I asked you to play a biological weapons scientist. Isn't this role interesting?"
"It's interesting," Nicolas Cage asked, "Can you tell me roughly what the story is?"
The script of the entire story was finalized with the assistance of two screenwriters, and the story framework has been set.
Little Gilbert briefly explained: “The origin of the story is that Fran Hammer was dissatisfied with the government’s compensation and benefits for veterans, dead soldiers and their families.
He led his men to smuggle the latest biological and chemical weapon developed by the US military, a type of gas bomb called VX, to Rock Island and hijacked 81 tourists who were sightseeing on the island.
They took control of the island and threatened the government to pay a ransom of 100 million yuan within 48 hours, otherwise they would kill the hostages and attack San Francisco with poison gas.
Rock Island was once a maximum security prison, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
The government accidentally discovered from the files that Mason, a former British agent, had successfully escaped from the prison. So they invited Mason and asked him to lead a special forces unit to capture Alcatraz within 30 hours.
The character you play is Gooseby, a biochemical weapons expert who helps Mason capture Alcatraz Island.
How about it? This story is quite attractive, right? "
"It's quite attractive, much better than your "Iron Fist"." Nicolas Cage became a little more interested: "Let's talk to my agent, I will keep a good schedule."
"Okay, this is settled." Little Gilbert nodded.
The two then talked about other things, and little Gilbert declined Nicolas Cage's invitation to dinner and left.
A few days later, Gilbert Jr. attended the Saturn Awards with Cameron Diaz. This is also a well-attended film award, established in 1975.
The Saturn Awards mainly award films in the science fiction, horror, fantasy adventure, and action thriller genres. Unlike the Oscars, commercial blockbusters are the mainstream here.
Therefore, this award has a high level of attention.
Gilbert Jr. was nominated for a Saturn Award for Best Director, but did not win.
However, "Speed" won the Saturn Award for Best Action/Thriller Film this year, and little Gilbert got to give an acceptance speech.
"I am very happy to receive this award. I used to watch the Saturn Awards ceremony on TV, but I never thought that one day I would be able to stand on this stage in person. This represents the recognition of the fans for me.
I will continue to work hard to produce better works, and hope to have another chance to stand on this stage. "
The speech was very short, not as long as at the Oscars, but still concise.
As a director who has attracted considerable attention, little Gilbert's every word, deed, and move has been watched by the media, and he is always shrouded in the spotlight.
This level of attention makes some Hollywood second- and third-tier stars, and even first-tier stars, envious.
It is worth mentioning that Sandra Bullock won this year's Saturn Award for Best Actress for her role as Annie in "Speed".
Coupled with the MTV Movie Awards and the Oscars in March, the commercial film "Speed" can be considered to have made a difference in terms of awards.
After the Saturn Award, little Gilbert accepted another interview with Vanity Fair and talked about his feelings after becoming famous, the pressure he faced, etc.
"After entering Hollywood, I never thought that I would receive so much attention. People say that directors are the workers behind the scenes. It is the actors who enjoy the cheers when making good movies. But my situation is completely different. This makes me don’t know how to face it.”
"Under such a spotlight, do you feel that you will be under a lot of pressure?" the interviewer asked.
"Of course," little Gilbert nodded and said, "Every movie I make must be scrutinized by the market and criticized by the audience.
This pressure has even spread to individuals. When Sally and I were shopping two days ago, we were even followed by paparazzi, and the trash can in the apartment where we lived was also rifled through.
All this made me feel at a loss at first, but now I have gradually gotten used to it. "
This is indeed a change in little Gilbert's mentality, and he did not make it up.
From the moment he broke into this circle, little Gilbert felt a little at a loss at first.
But after the initial nervousness and insomnia, little Gilbert is now able to face the situation that is happening to him calmly.
The difference in status has brought about a change in mentality. The online movie director in his previous life can now be considered a path in Hollywood.
Later, he also revealed his thoughts on the new work: "The new work is a hot action movie. I hope the audience will like it."
This report from "Vanity Fair" was published quickly, which allowed movie fans to understand a little bit about little Gilbert's journey along the way.
However, what fans are more concerned about is actually the new project mentioned by Gilbert Jr., but no matter how fast Gilbert Jr. makes the film, the film will not be released until next year.
This makes movie fans itchy. They want little Gilbert to transform into a hard-working cow on the farm and quickly go to film a movie.
But people are not machines. Machines still need to be oiled and maintained. Of course, people also need to rest.
In his spare time, little Gilbert also made a special trip to attend the premiere of James Cameron's "True Lies."
Just like in my impression, it was a hearty two hours, a typical Hollywood commercial blockbuster, a counter-terrorism action movie, a little comedy and a little family elements, the combination was perfect, I was very happy to watch it.
The scene where Jamie Lee Curtis fell because he didn't hold on to the bed rail while dancing was quite interesting, but this was not a plot designed by the script, but a real accident.
During the filming, Jamie Lee Curtis lost his balance, but James Cameron did not shout to stop, thus capturing this unexpected shot.
When watching the video, you can see that Schwarzenegger still wants to help him.
Another classic scene is probably the scene where Schwarzenegger flies a Harrier fighter plane to wipe out terrorists and save his daughter.
In addition, you can also see many of the shooting techniques used by Gilbert Jr. in "Speed" from the film, such as the first-person perspective of tires, bomb freeze shots, etc.
In terms of the level of tension and excitement, it is even better than the films in my previous life.
Although the film is very exciting, it is a pity that this film is rated R.
In terms of the excitement and quality of the film, "True Lies" is better than "The Iron Fist", but the disadvantage in classification will be clearly reflected in the box office.
The rating system plays a decisive role in a commercial blockbuster. So far, the highest-grossing R-rated film is James Cameron's "Terminator 2".
The film made 210 million US dollars in North America and 520 million US dollars globally, but it was still not enough to keep it in the top ten of the global box office list.
After the film, little Gilbert also chatted with James Cameron for a while.
James Cameron and Little Gilbert said: "Little Gilbert, I plan to do underwater photography. Are you interested?"
"Underwater photography? Are you going to take pictures of the Titanic?" Little Gilbert asked.
James Cameron's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but clap his hands: "Yes, I can go to the Titanic wreck site to do underwater photography. What a great idea you have!"
"Uh," Little Gilbert suddenly hesitated. Could it be that he reminded James Cameron that he made the famous Titanic?
But little Gilbert had no idea about the movie. It was impossible for him to spend a year doing underwater photography for this movie and then focus on this huge project for the next two or three years.
One is that I am not capable enough, and the other is that the movie "Titanic" is not simple and easy to shoot.
It is said that James Cameron always brings a knife to the set, and if the film fails, he will commit suicide.
Such crazy people are driven to this level, and little Gilbert doesn't think he is better than James Cameron.
So we still go according to the planned plan, first to Alcatraz and then to Normandy.
At the end of July, little Gilbert also went to the stage for the new movie "The Man in Disguise" starring Cameron Diaz.
Much like what I had in mind, "The Man in Disguise", which was produced at a low cost, is really exciting.
After attending the premiere and seeing the movie in theaters again, little Gilbert believed that this movie could replicate the glory of its previous life.
Moreover, the current Cameron Diaz is still an enhanced version. He is not a completely unknown newcomer in his previous life, which is more helpful to the movie box office.
After the premiere, Cameron Diaz took little Gilbert's arm and asked him: "What did you think of the movie?"
"Well," Little Gilbert thought carefully before replying: "I think it's good. It will be a great success in the summer. Kim Kyle's performance is very exciting."
"Am I not great?" Cameron Diaz hopes that little Gilbert can praise himself.
"Sorry, as soon as I saw you, I was attracted by your sexy figure and didn't pay attention to how well you performed." Little Gilbert said with a smile.
Cameron Diaz rolled her eyes at little Gilbert: "I'm a professional actor."
"Yeah," little Gilbert held Cameron Diaz in his arms and nibbled her ear: "But to me, your performance is far less attractive to me than you are in bed."
Coupled with the tone of speaking, these words were spoken in Cameron Diaz's ears, making her body weaken.
At this time, Cameron Diaz didn't care that the premiere had just ended and the media reporters hadn't finished yet, so she turned around without standing on tiptoes like Naomi Watts and directly gave her a hot kiss. .
What happened after that was much simpler. The two went home directly, made firewood, and fought for a hundred rounds.
The next day, Cameron Diaz took a leave of absence from the promotion.
On the first day of film promotions, the leading lady was absent.
However, considering the complicated relationship between Cameron Diaz and Gilbert Jr., New Line Cinema has temporarily forgiven Cameron Diaz's willful behavior.
