Chapter 175: Dinner Party Waves
“Tell me, will I get pregnant?” After sweating through some exercise, Naomi Watts was too tired to move, so she lay on little Gilbert’s body.
Little Gilbert held the woman's soft waist and said, "I think so. After all, we have paid too much for our children, especially me."
Naomi Watts gave little Gilbert a cute look and said, "I'm obviously the most tired, okay? I asked you to stop, but you're still working so hard.
Look, they are all red. "
"I'm sorry, baby, let me rub it for you." Little Gilbert covered it with his big hands and rubbed it gently.
Naomi Watts groaned and struggled to push away little Gilbert's hand: "Stop moving, I really have no strength."
"Okay," little Gilbert retracted his hands and suggested: "Why don't we ask Guanyin Bodhisattva to bless us to have a child."
Naomi Watts expressed confusion: "Who is Guanyin Bodhisattva?"
"Well, he is a god in Buddhism who is said to be very spiritual." Little Gilbert explained.
Naomi Watts heard that it worked and immediately agreed: "Okay, but is there Buddhism in North America? Do we have to go to China?"
In my impression, Buddhism seems to be found only in Asia.
Although Naomi Watts believes in God, it seems that giving birth to children is not under God’s control. Maybe it’s because giving birth to a child is too small a matter and God doesn’t bother to take care of it.
But no matter what the reason is, if God doesn’t work, you should always ask for a God who works! .
For things that cannot be explained by medicine, we can only ask God.
However, the plan to go to China to seek Guanyin failed to come to fruition because the preparations went smoothly and the filming of "Contact" started soon. Naomi Watts, who had finished the promotional tour of "Tornado", went to the crew to report.
Gilbert Jr. has also temporarily finished working on "Saving Private Ryan" and is on leave.
Entering June, blockbusters from various film companies have been released in the summer season, and the competition is quite fierce.
As the first blockbuster of the summer season, "Saving Private Ryan" has completed its fifth week in North American theaters. The North American box office has reached 173 million US dollars. It is only more than 3,000 US dollars away from the North American box office record of "Terminator 2" for an R-rated film. Ten thousand U.S. dollars.
The global box office is also good, reaching 418 million US dollars.
The key is that the film has not yet been released in many regions, and there is still a lot to be done next.
The influence of the film "Saving Private Ryan" is not only reflected in the box office. When the guy in Washington meets with his friendly friends, he will recommend him to watch "Saving Private Ryan".
This movie well represents the core of American spirit and promotes a good image of the country and the military. Washington likes it very much.
In recognition of Gilbert Jr.'s promotion and contribution to the American spirit, Washington specially sent Gilbert an invitation to attend the dinner.
This year is the year of the quadrennial North American Contest. The person in Washington who hosted the dinner also used his position to gain some fame for himself.
As a major Hollywood director, Gilbert Jr. is naturally among those invited. If little Gilbert supports him and publicly speaks for him, he can attract a lot of people to support him.
Although he didn't want to get involved in politics or have too much to do with politicians, little Gilbert still agreed to the invitation after Sheena Boone's persuasion.
Sheena Boone said to Gilbert: "As a Hollywood filmmaker, Gilbert, you have to know that politics is never far away from Hollywood.
You don’t have to participate in politics, but you must buy into politics. "
"You make sense," little Gilbert nodded and finally agreed.
Because Naomi Watts and others were busy with their own work, little Gilbert simply brought his agent Sheena Boone to the dinner.
Sheena Boone is also familiar with this situation and can remind little Gilbert what can and cannot be said at critical moments.
That night at Washington's dinner, there were a lot of guests, drinking and drinking among each other. Little Gilbert, who has been living in the center of Hollywood, found that he received little attention after entering here.
The people who come and go are all high-profile big shots, consortium representatives, capitalists, the kind of people who would make the entire United States tremble when they stomp their feet.
In contrast, little Gilbert does belong to the kind of young man who has made a name for himself but has not yet reached the top.
Of course, being invited to the Washington dinner means that he is qualified to enter the top circles.
The banquet began. Washington made a speech and then announced the start of the banquet.
Little Gilbert also muttered in Chinese in the crowd: "I didn't expect that Washington is also a bureaucracy. The leader speaks, alas!"
It didn't matter what he said, but a Chinese man next to him heard it.
The Chinese man rolled his eyes and immediately thought about it, planning to find an opportunity to communicate with little Gilbert.
The banquet began. Little Gilbert and Sheena Boone walked around the banquet hall, looking for people to talk to, exchanging business cards and so on.
It’s a great place to make connections, and you never know when you’ll need those connections.
These upper-class figures are also very interested in little Gilbert, a young Hollywood director, especially the Jewish consortium.
One of the representatives of the Jewish consortium also handed Little Gilbert a business card and address: "Little Gilbert, you are qualified to join a more advanced club. We are very optimistic about the development of several of your companies. If you are interested, let's discuss it together."
"Okay, definitely..." Little Gilbert agreed.
While waiting for the representative of the Jewish consortium to chat with others, little Gilbert threw the business card and address directly into the trash can.
Sheena Boone asked curiously: "Little Gilbert, don't you accept the invitation?" "What's so easy to accept? He actually dares to care about my two companies. What kind of discussion is it? It's not just for the Facebook and bananas in my hands. Shares." Little Gilbert snorted.
"But," Sheena Boone worried, "will this make them unhappy?"
"Unpleasant? Unpleasant is all right. I want them to be unhappy. If they are unhappy, I will be happy." Little Gilbert has seen the business card. It is a capital group that supports the Squid extremist group.
Unable to get rid of his identity as a squid, little Gilbert supported the liberals. Of course, he would not accept threats.
An address or something. Little Gilbert, who had been bombarded by various islands and sofas, could see at a glance that there was something wrong with it. Little Gilbert didn't want to have to hand in a certificate of nomination.
After rebirth, if you can't control your own life, but are controlled by others, what's the point?
Sheena Boone reminded: "Little Gilbert, you still have to be careful not to make enemies everywhere. We have to have friends."
"Friends?" Little Gilbert looked to the east and said, "Someone once said this, friends are good, we must have friends."
For little Gilbert, since he doesn't want to fit into other people's circles and can't go it alone, he needs to have his own circle and friends.
But it's too early to talk about these things now. He is qualified to enter the upper class, but in the eyes of the upper class, he is still just a young man.
Afterwards, Washington and his wife had a special chat with little Gilbert, encouraging him to do a good job and continue to contribute to the promotion of Hollywood and American culture and spirit.
Little Gilbert said a few words of modesty, and then expressed some polite words of support.
This was said by another person from another faction, and little Gilbert also said the same thing.
Little Gilbert doesn't care who is in this position, who is here, it doesn't affect what he can do.
After some socializing, little Gilbert finally had a little leisure time. The wife of Washington invited little Gilbert to dance with her. After all, she was the first lady, so she still had to give her some respect.
But for some reason, little Gilbert always felt that something was wrong with the way this lady looked at him.
After that, little Gilbert discovered that all the female guests present looked at him inappropriately, and the invitations to dance became an endless stream.
After thinking about it for a moment, little Gilbert understood that most of the people here were old men, and it was rare to find young people, and he was so handsome.
Just like men always like young women, most women also like young and handsome men.
Looking at it like this, if little Gilbert leaves his contact information or something, these old ladies who can't stand loneliness might actually take the bait.
But little Gilbert doesn't have such strong tastes. He is already in his forties, fifties and sixties, and European and American women age faster, so little Gilbert can't get rid of that.
The fourth dance was finally finished. Little Gilbert hung up his no-war card and hurriedly hid in a corner.
At this moment, a Chinese man came to him: "Hello, Director Gilbert, I am Zhong Yuhan, I am in business."
"Business person?" Little Gilbert frowned: "On this occasion, if someone like you comes in, he will probably have to pay a high price, right?"
"Indeed," Zhong Yuhan said directly: "Actually, I was invited by the man in Washington to come in."
"Wow," little Gilbert exclaimed, "This is not easy. You have a good personal relationship with that person?"
"No," Zhong Yuhan said. Seeing that no one was paying attention to the two of them, he got closer to Little Gilbert and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Actually, I donated three hundred thousand dollars to get in. "
"Three hundred thousand dollars?" Little Gilbert expressed confusion.
Zhong Yuhan reminded: "This year is very important."
Little Gilbert suddenly understood that this year was the North American Martial Arts Tournament held every four years, which included quarreling, summoning evil soldiers and other events.
"Do you know how I got these three hundred thousand dollars?"
"have no idea……"
"I'm telling you," Zhong Yuhan whispered in little Gilbert's ear, explaining the source of the three hundred thousand dollars, which made little Gilbert frown.
Although he was already a foreigner and it was not his turn to deal with such matters, he was still very angry.
Zhong Yuhan continued: "That person loves watching movies, especially Stallone. He has a lot of money and wants to invest in making movies.
I think you can be the director and ask Mr. Stallone to star. "
"Really?" Little Gilbert raised his eyebrows and flatly refused: "I think there is no chance."
"Why?" Zhong Yuhan asked puzzled.
"Because I'm very busy and I don't have a schedule, so you can find someone else!" After Little Gilbert finished speaking, he ignored this person and left directly.
At this dinner party, it was okay to be surrounded by a bunch of old women, and little Gilbert was very angry after hearing the news about a young man and a moth.
He wondered whether he should tell his friends over there the news he heard.
But after thinking about it, I gave it up and took a step back and said, he is an outsider now. What if he says it and people think he is sowing discord?
Little Gilbert really regretted bringing a pair of ears to hear such news.
It seems that I have to go there for a trip in the summer.
