Chapter 385 They all have potential
"Little Gilbert, let me introduce to you. This is the singer I signed, Napani from Canada. He has released an album before and is now quite popular."
Sheena Boone brought a girl with blond hair with a hint of rose red in her hair and introduced her to little Gilbert.
The girl was elegant and elegant, with big smoky eyes. She was not shy or afraid like others when seeing the great director. Instead, she looked at little Gilbert boldly.
She seemed to be evaluating little Gilbert, who smiled at her and turned to ask Sheena Boone: "When did you expand your business as a singer agent?"
“Ever since Britney became popular,” Sheena Boone said matter-of-factly: “She’s so popular, so I’ve always wanted to find out what kind of new people there are.
I think my new signing is good and has potential. "
Little Gilbert turned to ask the girl behind Sheena Boone: "Hey! Little girl, what's your name?"
The girl was carrying a guitar and was a little unhappy when little Gilbert called her a little girl, but she still replied: "Avril Lavigne, you can call me Lavigne or Vivian."
"Okay, Vivian, so you're here to sing the theme song for my new movie?"
"Create and sing."
"Create and sing?"
"Yes," Avril Lavigne nodded: "But first you have to tell me what the story is, and then I will be inspired."
"Okay, Wei Wei'an." Little Gilbert agreed: "I'll leave the theme song to you, come on!"
Avril Lavigne stared at little Gilbert for a long time before saying: "Thank you, I know this opportunity is rare. I usually don't say thank you, but I really thank you."
"You're welcome, Vivian, next time you have a good album or something, can you give me one?" Little Gilbert said.
"Of course, I'm writing a new album. Once it's ready, I'll give it to you as soon as possible."
Avril Lavigne has some rock and roll rebellious spirit in her, but that doesn't mean the girl is a fool. She certainly knows the power of little Gilbert in Hollywood and even the entire North American entertainment industry.
So she wouldn't be stupid enough to offend little Gilbert with her unscrupulous words.
And for a girl as beautiful as her, as long as her words are not unpleasant, it is difficult for others to dislike her.
After chatting for a while, Avril Lavigne left first. She had to attend a show.
At present, Avril Lavigne still needs exposure. The last album only made her famous a little bit, and she still needs to establish herself.
This is why Sheena Boone pulled Avril Lavigne over to try to sing the theme song for Little Gilbert's new movie.
Looking at the back of Avril Lavigne leaving, little Gilbert said to Sheena Boone: "You have to take good care of this girl. I am optimistic about her and she has potential."
Sheena Boone also admired her vision: "Of course, if there was no potential, I would not take her personally."
The two of them walked towards the office while talking about other things.
However, the rosy red color of Avril Lavigne's hair still left a deep impression on little Gilbert.
"Sheena, since you are interested in a potential female singer, you might as well sign a girl named Taylor Swift." Little Gilbert and Sheena Boone said.
Sheena Boone thought for a moment and realized she had never heard of Taylor Swift's name.
So Sheena Boone asked, "Who is Taylor Swift?"
Little Gilbert then replied: "I have watched her performance, and when I went to watch the game, she performed in the NBA midfield. She must be only thirteen years old this year.
I think she has the potential to be the next Madonna. "The next Madonna?" "Sheena Boone was very surprised. You know Avril Lavigne just now. At most, she thought it would be great to become a little rock queen.
To become the next Madonna is to become the next legend. Sheena Boone had to be surprised by such a high evaluation.
"Okay, I'll pay attention." Sheena Boone always believed in little Gilbert's vision and planned to find this little girl named Taylor Swift immediately when she went back.
Avril Lavigne didn't write a song for "Pirates of the Caribbean," in fact she didn't have to.
For the soundtrack, Little Gilbert had already made an agreement with Hans Zimmer. With Hans Zimmer doing the entire score, little Gilbert felt at ease.
What really needs a theme song is "Pumping Heartbeat".
Although Avril Lavigne takes the rock route, Sheena Boone said that Avril Lavigne has no problem writing lyrical songs.
After all, he had heard Avril Lavigne’s songs in his previous life, so little Gilbert agreed after thinking about it.
Of course, these jobs are just an episode.
Little Gilbert's main work focus was still on the preparation of "Pirates of the Caribbean". First, he and several screenwriters once again made drastic changes to the entire script to form a series.
Secondly, there is the choice of filming location. Although it is said to be "Pirates of the Caribbean", it is impossible for the crew to actually shoot in the Caribbean.
The giant tank in Rosarito, California, where "Titanic" was filmed last time, still exists. As soon as Charles Rowan contacted the local area, the other party immediately rented the place to them.
Afterwards, "The Big Apple" also wanted to use this location for filming, but "Pirates of the Caribbean" got there first, so we had to look for another location.
In addition, when Charles Rowan went on an inspection trip to Central and South America, he accidentally discovered a ship that perfectly matched the description of the Black Pearl in the film.
This wooden sailing ship was built in Finland in 1948. In the 1970s, its main role was to transport cargo in the Caribbean and as a cruise ship for tourists.
Except there are no pirates, even the location fits perfectly.
Charles Rowan immediately contacted the owner of the boat, a local cruise company, and planned to rent the boat.
The other party heard that it was being used to make a movie. Not only did he readily agree to it, but he also didn't charge a cent. He just hoped that the name of the cruise company would appear in the film.
Charles Rowan immediately called little Gilbert to discuss the matter. Little Gilbert, who originally planned to compete with each other to build a boat, saw that there was a ready-made one without spending any money, so he immediately agreed.
So the wooden sailboat, renamed the Black Pearl, passed through the Panama Strait and docked in Baja California, Mexico, waiting for the filming day to arrive.
Another interesting thing is that when the crew did not announce the cast list to the outside world, Michael Keaton, Jim Carrey, and Christopher Walken were all rumored to have affairs with the crew.
In fact, this scandal was spread deliberately to restrain Johnny Depp and prevent his weird temper from causing trouble to the crew.
Sure enough, Johnny Depp not only immediately signed an actor contract, but also agreed to star in subsequent series of movies.
When the scandal was in full swing, Johnny Depp made a very high-profile visit to a famous dental clinic in Los Angeles.
He asked the dentist to install 4 gold teeth on himself, one with 14K gold, one with 18K gold, one with 22K gold, and the last one was made of platinum.
After coming out, he said in an interview that this was because he was preparing for a role in a new movie, and he admitted without hesitation that he and Gilbert Jr. were collaborating.
This was a smart move, and it immediately put an end to those scandalous stories.
