Chapter 371 New Players and New Movies
“The shotguns use shotguns, which do not require high shooting accuracy, but the recoil is a bit strong. But with your arm strength, control should not be a problem.

Once you find your prey, try shooting it first. "

The two of them walked along the forest, and several hounds sometimes rushed out and howled a few times, and sometimes ran back and wandered around their owners.

The leading hound pricks up its ears and uses its keen sense of hearing and smell to help its owner find prey.

Just when the sun was just over the head, the leading hound suddenly shouted and commanded the other hounds to rush in one direction.

After a while, the howling of hounds and the barking of animals were heard. Several wild deer were frightened and jumped out of the trees.

The hounds were well trained and drove the wild deer in the direction of little Gilbert and Tom Cruise.

"Here's your chance," Tom Cruise said, signaling Little Gilbert to get ready to shoot.

Little Gilbert leaned on a fallen tree, placed the shotgun on it, loaded the gun and fired. However, the huge recoil caused the muzzle of the gun to fly away, and I don’t know where it hit.

Little Gilbert quickly fired a second shot. This shot was lucky and hit a deer.

The rest of the deer scattered and disappeared without a trace, but the deer that was shot ran for several hundred meters and was exhausted by the hounds. It was bleeding and injured and became motionless.

"Well done, little Gilbert, let's go see what you hunted." Tom Cruise praised.

Little Gilbert lamented that he was lucky enough to hit the target with the second shot. This was definitely a mistake.

The pair rushed to the deer's last known location, with the hounds guarding it.

"Good job," Tom Cruise took out a few pieces of meat from his bag and rewarded them to several hounds before stepping forward to check on the prey.

"Not bad, this is a sika deer. It should not be released from a breeding farm, but a second-generation wild sika deer." Tom Cruise said.

Raising deer is very popular on Australian pastures. Deer were originally introduced here as hunting and recreational animals.

Unexpectedly, deer escaped later, resulting in the current overpopulation of wild deer, which caused great harm to the local ecological environment.

Due to the lack of natural predators, wild deer are lawless, so the Australian government often organizes deer hunting seasons, hoping that people can make up a link in the biological chain.

But from the effect point of view, it doesn’t feel very good.

Little Gilbert looked at the deer’s beautiful patterns and said to Tom Cruise: “Both the antlers and the deer skin can be kept as souvenirs.

I'll give him the venison tonight. "

"Of course," Tom Cruise informed the hunting ground workers, and someone immediately came to transport the deer and dispose of it.

They have a wealth of experience and don't need little Gilbert to worry about.

Of course, it's not impossible if little Gilbert wants to do it himself. But this requires skills and techniques. Little Gilbert has handled chickens at most, but he really can't handle deer.

After collecting his prey, Gilbert Tom Cruise Jr. continues hunting.

Maybe the shot just now used up all the luck today, and little Gilbert will have nothing to gain next.

In the past, it was pure luck to get a gun, but now even if the prey stands motionless ten meters in front of little Gilbert, little Gilbert can't hit it.

Compared to Little Gilbert, a novice, Tom Cruise looked a bit like Ethan Hunt, easily hunting several rabbits and a fat wild boar.

As the sun sets, the hunting activity ends successfully.

Although it can’t be said to be a full harvest, it’s not like I’m leaving empty-handed.

After the hunting trip, little Gilbert and Tom Cruise returned to the holiday farm in a car, enjoying the scenery along the way.

Tom Cruise also introduced: "This place and a large piece of land nearby are owned by the Kidman family. How does it feel?"

Little Gilbert nodded and said, "It's great to have such a farm, which is suitable for retirement."

"Hahaha, indeed," Tom Cruise laughed: "I heard that their land near Sydney is for sale. If you are interested, you can ask Mary to contact them."

Although Nicole Kidman also has the surname Kidman, she is already very distantly related to the Kidman family and is considered a distant relative.

However, after Nicole Kidman became famous, the Kidman family would still take the initiative to contact her. This is the celebrity effect.

Little Gilbert thought about it for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Forget it, the main reason is that I may not have time. I am very busy with my work."

"Speaking of work," Tom Cruise said with great anticipation: "The collaboration last time on "Chicago" was quite pleasant, and I have been thinking that we can continue to work together."

It was indeed enjoyable, and "Chicago" earned Tom Cruise an Oscar. In his previous life, Tom Cruise didn't have an Oscar winner by his side.

Perhaps Tom Cruise, who was in that position in his previous life, no longer needs an Oscar winner to prove himself, but now Tom Cruise still needs this award.

"There's a chance, Tom. Besides, are you sure you have time recently?"

Tom Cruise thought about it. He recently had "Minority Report" to be released, and he also had projects such as "The Last Samurai", "Borrowed Knife" and "Mission: Impossible 3" on hand. He really didn't have time. Little Gilbert still said: "But you still have to free up a period from 2005 to 2006. I think there is indeed a project that we are suitable for cooperation."

Tom Cruise was overjoyed: "That's great, we'll make it a deal."

"It's a deal."

After staying in Australia for three days, Gilbert Jr. and Tom Cruise separated and headed north to Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam and other regions.

Then he met Sophie Marceau on Hong Kong Island, and then went to Sri Lanka, Maldives and other places together.

Sophie Marceau's development in Hollywood was not smooth, but there is no doubt that she is still very popular when she returns to Europe.

At the Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong Island, Sophie Marceau showed off her beauty unscrupulously in front of little Gilbert, and they all also played together on the streets of Hong Kong Island.

After that, I went to Sri Lanka and experienced the special milk tea there, as well as a journey to find gems.

I originally wanted to go to India and see the Taj Mahal, but the Indian port temporarily refused to allow the yacht to dock at the pier in Mumbai, requiring that it must be changed to an Indian-nationalized ship.

Considering the poor condition of the Indian ship, for the sake of safety, little Gilbert did not board the Indian ship and set off directly to Dubai.

This round-the-world journey basically focuses on coastal cities.

Go all the way through the Red Sea and Suez Canal, into the Mediterranean, then to the Atlantic Ocean and finally through the Panama Canal back to Los Angeles.

It can be said that this is a quite luxurious private trip. After all, if you want to travel around the world like this, you must first own a large yacht.

While little Gilbert was traveling around the world, the movie market was booming.

While Spider-Man is a huge hit, the momentum won't last forever.

In mid-June, "The Matrix: Revolutions" directed by James Gunn and starring Keanu Reeves and Charlize Theron was officially released.

As the final chapter of the classic science fiction movie "The Matrix", although the film abandoned the sci-fi setting and discussion of philosophy and religion that the first film showed off, it is obviously biased towards commercialization.

But the advantage of this is that it retains most of the fans.

James Gunn has still received a lot of criticism. Many fans who like to study believe that James Gunn completely ruined the "Matrix" series.

However, the box office of "The Matrix" in North America was US$92.358 million in its first weekend, which still proves that the direction of commercialization is correct.

No matter how much film critics and media outlets who adhere to the concept of art and so-called complex cinema disparage The Matrix Revolutions, they cannot ignore one fact.

That is, simple movies tend to sell better than complex movies in the movie market.

The reason is very simple. Audiences come to the cinema to relax, not to be tired. So many times just stimulating their adrenaline and getting them excited is enough.

Those movies that look complicated are great hits, but inside they are very simple and straightforward, directly stimulating the senses of movie fans, such as the first part of "The Matrix".

The weekend after "The Matrix: Revolutions," the sci-fi thriller "Minority Report," directed by Spielberg and starring Tom Cruise, was released.

In the past two years, Spielberg has directed films such as "Artificial Intelligence" and "Minority Report".

"Minority Report" is that kind of complex movie, and it has been praised by film critics, who believe that the film even surpasses "The Matrix".

For example, Kenneth Turan, who has always criticized Gilbert Jr., praised "Minority Report" in his column, tending to exaggerate the movie.

"Minority Report is a thriller that won't insult your intelligence and is more exciting than The Matrix.

Like "The Matrix", it has the thought-provoking characteristics of an excellent science fiction film. At the same time, it is also a dizzying action film that constantly stimulates your audio-visual organs.

So, bring your eyes and ears, as well as your head, to this film.

Every aspect of "Minority Report" is amazing, and the actors' performances are no exception.

Spielberg's casting is perfect, every small role shines, Colin Farrell has the potential to steal Brad Pitt's job, and Liang Tang has found an opportunity to fully blossom.

Of course, he won't win the statuette, but this role does allow his charm and potential to be fully realized. "

Although Kenneth Turan exaggerated the movie, "Minority Report" had a box office of US$45.77 million in its first week, losing to "The Matrix: Revolutions" which took in US$56.92 million this week.

For Spielberg and Tom Cruise, this first-week box office performance was actually not satisfactory, but the film's reputation was also good enough.

Tom Cruise, who is not troubled by divorce, still has appeal. You know, the box office of this movie in the previous life was less than 35 million US dollars in the first week. Now it is more than 10 million US dollars.

With the name of Tom Cruise, it now has more than 10 million US dollars in the first week box office, which is a huge profit.

After "The Matrix 3" and "Minority Report", this year's competitive films include "The Mystery of the Spell", "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", "007: Dead Tomorrow", "Ice Age", " Men in Black 2" and so on.

However, it is difficult for these films to pose a threat to the title of box office champion of "The Return of the King". It seems that Little Gilbert will achieve three consecutive box office titles in North America and the world.
