Chapter 370 Stop and Go
Starting from the pier in Los Angeles, we passed by Hawaii, where we experienced the customs and customs of the island and volcanoes.
On this trip around the world, little Gilbert took Naomi Watts, Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Connelly, Scarlett Johansson and others with him.
Sophie Marceau was waiting on Hong Kong Island, waiting for the yacht to pass before joining Little Gilbert and his party.
The yacht is large enough, unlike a small yacht that can be driven out by itself, so it still needs a captain and crew to operate it.
This problem was easy to solve. When Jobs heard that Gilbert was going to travel around the world, he introduced a reliable crew team.
The captain and crew are in the lower deck area of the yacht and will not go up to the upper area of the yacht. There is also a reliable security team, so it is not a big problem.
In addition, Noriko Sakai, Shizuka Kudo, and Norika Fujiwara also brought several beauties from the island country, Kyoko Fukada, Satomi Ishihara and others.
But little Gilbert looked dumbfounded at the sixteen-year-old Satomi Ishihara, and asked Noriko Sakai: "Do you think I'm a pervert? Where does this come from?"
Noriko Sakai was so courageous. She hugged little Gilbert's arm with a smile and said, "She is your loyal movie fan. She likes your films "The Sixth Sense" and "Chicago" very much."
"Okay!" Little Gilbert was a little surprised: "Did you watch such a profound movie at such a young age?"
Ishihara Satomi was a little shy, but she still mustered up the courage to say: "But, it's really beautiful!"
"Okay!" Little Gilbert shrugged. Maybe at the age of sixteen, he could really appreciate the so-called artistic expression of movies.
Indeed, compared to Gilbert Jr.'s other films, "The Sixth Sense" and "Chicago", although essentially still following the path of commercial films, are undoubtedly closer to the style of literary films.
That's why Gilbert Jr. won his first Oscar for Best Director for "Chicago."
Although Noriko Sakai was very enthusiastic about introducing island beauties to little Gilbert, little Gilbert did not do as much as she expected to the new sisters.
As a human being, little Gilbert has the most basic human desires, including the pursuit of power, money, and beauty, which are all normal.
It just so happens that the Western society he lives in is the one that least needs to suppress his desires.
Especially for a person like him who belongs to the upper class, there is almost nothing the law can do against him.
But to be honest, little Gilbert doesn't want to be like those sanctimonious beasts. Maybe this is the only thing that makes him better than him.
Besides, even if it was initially because of greed for beauty, they chose to keep Naomi Watts and others. But more than ten years have passed, and as time goes by, everyone has become like a family.
Perhaps, when little Gilbert looked at the women enjoying the sweet fruit, he thought to himself: How many children might be needed?
Tom Cruise was still urging him. He also wanted to be a godfather and asked little Gilbert when he planned to have children. Life has reached a new stage, and there is no need to avoid it.
Noriko Sakai was not very interested in seeing the beauties from the island nation brought by Little Gilbert, and was still guessing: "Should we change the batch? How about we find some Korean beauties next time?"
On the contrary, Norika Fujiwara understood little Gilbert: "I think he may have left this stage!"
"Really? You mean he's not interested in women? Is he interested in men?" Sakai Noriko shuddered.
If little Gilbert really likes him, there are no handsome idol boys on the island country, and she can introduce some to him.
Fujiwara Norika shook her head and said: "No, for him now, it may be more important to resonate with the soul."
Noriko Sakai pouted: "Okay, the great director is still very pretentious."
How can those big figures in the political and business circles of the island country be so particular and have soul resonance? People just want physical resonance.
This round-the-world trip was quite enjoyable. The second stop of the round-the-world trip was to Anuwatu, a Pacific island country located in the southern hemisphere.
Anuwatu is famous for its volcanoes, islands and tuna, as well as several world-class diving resorts.
It is said that lobsters often appear in the diving area here, and you can catch lobsters.
Little Gilbert and his party have been to the famous Isul volcano and also visited a diving resort, but they did not catch any lobsters.
I caught a few tuna, but none of them were as big as the one in Hawaii.
According to local reports, the tuna here is delicious and the texture is quite beautiful. The fish itself is rich in fish oil and has a slightly sweet taste, making it a good choice for tuna sashimi.
In addition to the bluefin tuna in the North Atlantic, the tuna here is the most popular among islanders.
Therefore, you can see many fishing fleets from island countries here. Locals say the islanders even hunt whales that roam nearby waters.
Although Anuwatu and several nearby Pacific island countries have jointly protested many times, the islanders still go their own way.
Anuwatu also has a special drink called kava, also known as drunken pepper. Locals often say that if you haven’t drank kava when you come to Anuwatu, you haven’t been there.
It sounds like someone who doesn't know the Great Wall is not a hero, but because of its special taste, people who like it actually like it very much, and people who don't like it can't drink it at all.
Sijia likes to drink this very much. She can usually drink a lot in one sitting. After drinking it, she feels absolutely refreshed and energetic.
Little Gilbert, on the other hand, became dizzy after drinking it, and then suffered from vomiting and diarrhea. From then on, he became insensitive to this drink. It's winter in the southern hemisphere, but Anuwatu, which is close to the equator, is hot all year round, so a few women can show off their figures.
Naomi Watts recently learned a new way, which is actually the same as the later traffic buds sharing street photos on Weibo.
But it's not that convenient now. You need to take a photo, import it into your laptop, and then open it to share on social networking sites.
Several women are like this and have posted a lot of travel photos.
However, in addition to the praises from fans, there are more complaints from fans about little Gilbert.
"Why are you still on vacation?"
"Are you thinking about retirement at this age?"
"Hurry up and make a movie. I want to watch "Lord of the Rings 4"."
"Damn it, there are so many beauties, can these beauties go away and let little Gilbert go make a movie?"
"Man, I thought you were envious of the many beauties around Director Gilbert, but I didn't expect that you were afraid that they would delay Gilbert's filming."
"What? Isn't it possible?"
"Of course. In fact, I think so too."
In response to these remarks, Little Gilbert replied: "Please stay tuned for other films from Melon Studio."
Entering June, the popularity of "Spider-Man" continues unabated, with a box office of US$72.516 million the next week, retaining the title of weekly box office champion.
The second place is still "Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones", which grossed US$22.569 million this week, and the third place is "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King", which has a box office of US$19.933 million this week.
This week is the sixth week of the release of "The Return of the King". The box office still maintains a good curve and does not seem to be affected much.
At this time, the film's North American box office has accumulated 526 million U.S. dollars, and its global box office has accumulated 1.439 billion U.S. dollars.
For three consecutive years, the box office of three films has exceeded one billion US dollars. Little Gilbert has completely established himself as the king of commercial films at the box office.
Of course, this will not be the end of the film, although the wave of movie viewing has passed and it has entered the stage of relying on time to accumulate box office.
However, Disney and Warner's internal forecasts both believe that the North American box office of "The Return of the King" will reach US$620 million, and the global box office will reach more than US$1.7 billion to US$1.8 billion.
Whether it can surpass "Titanic" depends on luck.
Gilbert Jr. also had a phone call with James Cameron and said that his new movie is about to break the record he set.
James Cameron himself didn't care much about this. He was busy playing with 3D technology at this time, and the prototype of the "Avatar" story was born.
In his latest phone call, James Cameron sought the support of Gilbert Jr., who certainly supported him.
After all, this is "Avatar", the movie that caused changes in global film technology.
Just like "Titanic", this movie is also not something that little Gilbert can touch casually. It really has to be completed by James Cameron.
The reason is very simple. Although the "Lord of the Rings" series is called the benchmark of the Hollywood film industry, it all uses mature technical systems.
But "Avatar" is different. It uses a lot of new technologies, many of which are unheard of.
These technologies did not appear out of thin air, nor were they taught by Trisolarans, but were slowly realized step by step after years of practice and research and development.
So the job that little Gilbert has to do is actually very simple, that is, to fund these people who develop technology. Once successful, he will also enjoy certain benefits.
For example, little Gilbert has been paying attention to the development of IMAX cameras by IMAX. After several iterations, IMAX cameras can already be used in film shooting.
Little Gilbert plans to wait for the right time to use an IMAX camera to shoot a movie.
He has always loved the format of IMAX, and the enjoyment of watching movies in an IMAX theater is simply unparalleled. Maybe one day movie theaters will become obsolete, and the way movies exist will also change.
But little Gilbert feels that there is no better place to showcase the charm of movies than the IMAX theater.
After a few days in Anuwatu, the yacht continued south, to Australia.
Tom Cruise and his wife are already waiting here. Tom Cruise likes hunting. He invited little Gilbert to go to the Kidman family's farm and manor to get addicted to hunting.
Little Gilbert has caught quite a lot of fish, but this is his first time trying something like hunting. Especially when he touched a shotgun for the first time, he was actually a little nervous.
Although he has filmed many action movies with gun battles and explosions before, when it comes to using guns, Gilbert Jr. is far inferior to Tom Cruise.
Tom Cruise is very professional and acts as a temporary instructor to teach little Gilbert how to operate.
