Chapter 143 Undercurrent
Many of the big shots in Hollywood are a little perverted in their private lives. DiCaprio told Little Gilbert that he had attended nude parties and met many famous actresses.
A threesome or a foursome is considered normal, and doing it with animals simply makes Xiao Li Zi stunned.
According to rumors, there is a man named Longus who is very popular, and many actresses want to have something to do with it.
Longus is Latin, meaning very long.
Most importantly, longus is not a human being, but a donkey. After special training and specific artificial training, it is very proficient in certain movements.
It was Xiao Lizi who told little Gilbert about this, and he vividly described the scene to little Gilbert.
Usually at this time little Gilbert would ask him: "Have you ever had sex with that donkey?"
At this time, Xiao Lizi will be stressed: "How is it possible? I am only interested in women, and beautiful women."
After saying this, both DiCaprio and Gilbert couldn't help laughing, and then criticized these Hollywood perverts together.
In comparison, those who drink alcohol, take drugs, and hold pool parties with long-legged blonde models are considered normal people in Hollywood.
If we go by the standards of normal people in previous lives, then there are no normal people in Hollywood.
Living in the spotlight of Hollywood is also a stressful process. Therefore, in order to get rid of troubles and pressure, these directors and stars will seek some stimulation, and then become more and more abnormal.
In comparison, Mel Gibson's penchant for taking pictures and torturing people is considered relatively normal.
But it's a pity that if he can be obedient and play according to the rules of the game, everyone can use normal means at most, and then stay on the right side of the river.
But Mel Gibson blatantly crossed Little Gilbert's bottom line, so Little Gilbert can't be blamed for being rude.
Sophie Marceau is very important. Her surrender at the last moment saved little Gilbert's career.
Whether it is out of gratitude, or because he regards Sophie Marceau as a model of surrender, little Gilbert must protect her.
Just imagine, if Sophie Marceau cannot be protected well and is allowed to be bullied, who will dare to help little Gilbert in a critical moment in the future?
Everyone knows that you can't protect people and you can't give back, so naturally no one dares to help you.
After receiving the mission, Craigie Evans immediately launched an investigation, tracking, filming, and eavesdropping, using all possible means.
Unlike 007 James Bond who has so many high-tech equipment, Craigie Evans basically relies on his own experience and skills to complete these tasks.
He used to be an elite agent in Fobler, and he was very good at doing these things.
Little Gilbert was also very cooperative. When Sophie Marceau was almost recovered, she was allowed to show up.
Hina Boone helped Sophie Marceau rent a house again, and then little Gilbert lived in it with Sophie Marceau for a few days with great fanfare.
This process was reported by the gossip tabloids, and the tabloids began to hype little Gilbert's new rumored girlfriend, who is also a French beauty.
Only little Gilbert has this kind of treatment. Even if other directors have eighteen girlfriends, the media is not interested.
The media is interested, mainly the fans.
Many female movie fans who liked Gilbert Jr. because of his looks were unhappy when they saw the couple in the tabloids.
"How is this French woman better than me? Isn't it just that her legs are longer and her face is more delicate?"
"That's right..."
"Oh my god, how happy it would be to sleep with little Director Gilbert!"
"Bah, Bitchi, I'm the only one who can sleep with little Gilbert."
"it's me……"
Well, I have no idea what these female fans are thinking.
Maybe it's because handsome Hollywood actors and actresses have so many female fans, but little Gilbert seems to have fewer female fans.
Because there are so few, there will be an illusion that little Gilbert belongs to him, and little Gilbert also has the feeling of traffic gurgles in his previous life.
It's a pity that the Internet is not developed yet, otherwise Little Gilbert's fan group would gather online and become even more powerful.
But this is not the point. The reason why he did this in a high-profile manner was because Gilbert wanted to give Mel Gibson a shock and see his reaction.
Sure enough, as little Gilbert expected, Mel Gibson did not dare to act rashly and did not release those photos because he did not know how much Sophie Marceau had confessed.
If the photos are released, there will obviously be no way out. It would be terrible if Sophie Marceau broke the pot and directly sued Mel Gibson.
And it’s not easy to post photos these days, it’s not as convenient as the Internet.
Little Gilbert analyzed the results to Sophie Marceau beforehand. Seeing that things developed as expected, Sophie Marceau admired little Gilbert greatly.
On May 24, "Braveheart" was officially released in the United States.
The day before, the film had its premiere at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood, and Sophie Marceau, as the heroine, naturally had to attend.
According to the original plan, Sophie Marceau was originally to attend with Mel Gibson. But I don’t know why, but it turned into little Gilbert in the end.
Of course, Mel Gibson would not dare to talk about such a private matter.
Those movie fans and media reporters thought that Sophie Marceau was indeed very charming, and she even attracted little Gilbert to support "Braveheart".
Those insiders who knew about the quarrel between Gilbert Jr. and Mel Gibson were not sure about Gilbert Jr.'s situation. They thought that Gilbert Jr. was interested in resuming the relationship with Mel Gibson!
Mel Gibson's close assistants and close friends all know a little bit about the situation.
A friend suggested: "Mel, we don't know how much little Gilbert knows. Why don't we find a chance to ask?"
"Yes," the assistant agreed: "Try it out and see his reaction."
Mel Gibson looked at little Gilbert who was hypocritically chatting with Martin Bob, and agreed: "I'll go check it out later, and you guys will look for an opportunity to bring Sophie Marceau back."
"good……"
Mel Gibson still walks with a slight limp. His legs haven't recovered since his last fall.
He claimed that he injured his leg while filming, and used this to arouse the sympathy of movie fans.
Mel Gibson was injured for the movie, so of course fans should support him. Over the years he has been in Hollywood, he still has some appeal.
Everyone acted separately. If Sophie Marceau was controlled again, more than half of this crisis could be resolved. There are no more hostages in Little Gilbert's hands, and they don't have to use the trap anymore.
On the other side, while walking briefly on the red carpet and being interviewed, little Gilbert also said two good things about "Braveheart".
Anyway, in his eyes, Mel Gibson is already dead, and it doesn't matter if he says a few nice words.
And if "Braveheart" became a box office hit just because of his two kind words, little Gilbert would no longer need to be a director, but would directly become a fortune teller.
According to Western sayings, only God's blessing can do this, then he is God.
After coming in, little Gilbert also saw Martin Bob.
Martin Bob was also surprised. He didn't expect little Gilbert to come to support the film for a woman. He was one of the few people who knew about the conflict between Mel Gibson and Little Gilbert. While guessing, Martin Bob went over to say hello: "Thank you, Director Gilbert Little, for coming to support."
"Martin," little Gilbert said as if he didn't want to talk to him anymore, "I'm just here for Sophie."
Martin Bob looked at Sophie Marceau and said: "It seems that our Sophie is really charming, and CAA is also very optimistic about her and plans to arrange a few more big projects for her to experience."
"Really?" Little Gilbert said nonchalantly, "That's great. This will make Sophie's journey in Hollywood smoother."
An old fox and a young fox on both sides are trying to find out each other's purpose through words.
After some verbal exchanges, Little Gilbert was able to confirm that Martin Bob should not know what Mel Gibson did, otherwise he would not be so calm and look a bit silly.
Also, Martin Bob has followed Michael Ovitz for so long, and he is more or less aware of the rules in the Hollywood circle. He will not be as arrogant as Mel Gibson and regard the rules as nothing.
"Braveheart" is jointly invested and distributed by Paramount Pictures and 20th Century Fox, and is also a project packaged by CAA.
Although the president of 20th Century Fox was not present at the premiere, their head of distribution Tim Solomon was present.
Seeing little Gilbert coming to support him, Tim Solomon thought that little Gilbert was giving face to 20th Century Fox, so he happily stepped forward to talk to little Gilbert.
However, little Gilbert confused Tim Solomon with just one sentence: "Tim, if I want to take action against a person and affect this movie, what's the opinion from Fox?"
Tim Solomon was stunned and quickly asked: "Who is it? Mel?"
Little Gilbert didn't answer, but from the look in his eyes, Tim Solomon understood everything. What he couldn't figure out was what Mel Gibson had done to force Little Gilbert to attack him.
"Is there room for relaxation?" Tim Solomon asked again.
"He broke the rules and heard that his father was an anti-Semite." Little Gilbert only said these words, and Tim Solomon understood.
He is also Jewish, and Jewish people have always been very united when things like this happen.
During the premiere, Tim Solomon was very worried, thinking about little Gilbert's words. As soon as the movie ended, he didn't stay any longer and hurried back to the company to report.
Sean Connery also attended today's premiere. He is the second male lead in the film and is competing for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.
He also saw little Gilbert, and at that time he wanted to have a fit and strike hard.
But unfortunately, this is a public place.
It would not look good if he got angry and beat little Gilbert in front of so many media reporters and fans.
Moreover, Martin Bob has been persuading Sean Connery to endure it. His words are very reasonable: "You, an old man, may not be able to beat little Gilbert, who is very strong."
This is true, he is not really 007, the action scenes are all done by a stand-in, and he himself may not be able to defeat little Gilbert.
Moreover, an old man who is known as the most elegant and gentleman actually beats people. Isn’t this self-destructive?
Since he couldn't afford to offend him, Sean Connery simply stayed away and tried not to meet little Gilbert.
Fortunately, the purpose of Little Gilbert's visit was not him, so Sean Connery breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he was very angry and had a bad temper, Sean Connery became a lot more honest after suffering several embarrassing losses.
Over there, Mel Gibson found the opportunity to talk to little Gilbert in the lounge: "Sophie, can I have a few words with little Gilbert?"
Sophie Marceau looked at little Gilbert with pleading eyes. At this time, she did not dare to leave little Gilbert's side.
Little Gilbert gave Sophie Marceau a reassuring look, and then said to Mel Gibson: "You and I both know what you did, but you just didn't succeed."
Seeing that there was no chance to leave Sophie Marceau alone, Mel Gibson's eyes turned cold: "What do you want to do? You know that if I am unlucky, many people will be unlucky."
"Are you saying that both Paramount and 20th Century Fox will be affected?" Little Gilbert suddenly laughed: "You don't think that even without this incident, you can make a difference in the summer? Or at the Oscars? harvested.
Stop dreaming, Mel. Even if this hadn't happened, you would have gotten out of Hollywood sooner or later. "
With that said, little Gilbert asked Sophie Marceau to watch the door of the lounge to prevent others from coming in. Assistant Anna Singer also came over to watch the door together.
Six bodyguards appeared quietly at some point to guard the lounge.
Little Gilbert introduced: "A retired soldier from the Marine Corps, introduced by the Pentagon. He has good skills and has killed people."
Looking at the six menacing bodyguards, Mel Gibson couldn't even use force.
With that said, little Gilbert came close to Mel Gibson's ear and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Listen to Sophie, you can't do it.
It's a bit shameful that I can't satisfy others and need to use other means to vent my anger. "
Mel Gibson had such a bad temper that he couldn't help but take action immediately, but looking at the six tall bodyguards, he didn't dare.
"Don't forget, the photo is still in my hands." Mel Gibson threatened.
"Really?" Little Gilbert didn't care: "What photo, is it hers? It's okay, you can put it wherever you want, and there are no photos of me.
But let me remind you, she is finished, and I must have you bury her with her. "
"What do you want to do?" Mel Gibson's tone was already very cold, and the ups and downs visible to the naked eye showed that he was already quite angry.
"I don't promise what I will do, how about we negotiate?"
"How to talk?"
"If you hand over the photos, I won't care about it, and everyone can take a step back and return to the past."
"Huh," Mel Gibson obviously didn't believe it: "We've already reached this point. It seems that you know everything and you still have my handle. Do you think it's still possible to talk?"
"That's impossible. It's a pity." Little Gilbert said without any regret on his face: "Then I wish you good luck, Mr. Gibson."
After saying that, little Gilbert took his people away, leaving Mel Gibson alone.
The assistant and several friends quickly found Mel Gibson, but they did not seize the opportunity to regain control of Sophie Marceau. It was a pity.
"What now? Mel," a friend asked.
"Does little Gilbert have any dirty information?"
"No, I don't think I've heard of them. There are only three rumored girlfriends, but that's not a problem at all."
The buzzing discussions among his friends made Mel Gibson’s head go crazy.
He threw his hands away in anger and did not even participate in the media interviews after the premiere. He withdrew from the premiere citing physical discomfort.
Now, movies and stuff are no longer Mel Gibson's concern. What he is worried about is his future and destiny in Hollywood.
Under the premiere, there was an undercurrent, and some shrewd and sensitive people had a premonition that a storm was coming.
After the premiere, "Braveheart" was officially released, but the box office of the film was not as expected, and could even be described as bleak.
In the three days of its first weekend, "Braveheart" only took in 12.908 million U.S. dollars at the box office, losing to "Die Hard 3" with 33.254 million U.S. dollars and "The Island" with 24.403 million U.S. dollars, ranking third at the weekly box office.
