Chapter 392 David’s Ambition
When little Gilbert was filming "Pirates of the Caribbean" in Mexico, he had actually been paying attention to changes in the public opinion field in North America.
When he saw that many media were saying that "Heartbeat" was the beginning of his decline, little Gilbert suddenly felt a little funny.
It is true that little Gilbert himself may not be able to surpass the achievements of the "Lord of the Rings" series in the future. But even if you have climbed the highest mountain, how can you say that other mountains are not mountains?
Besides, "Pumping Heart" was very successful. Not only did it make a profit at the box office, it was also discussed enthusiastically by the media.
As far as this topic is concerned, it doesn't look like a failed work, and the purpose has been achieved. Sijia is indeed very popular.
Unfortunately, there are only a few smart people in this world. Most people are blindly obedient and ignorant, and have no ability to distinguish themselves.
Not to mention the majority of people, in fact, sometimes smart people cannot figure out the truth of things.
Michael Ovitz, for example, was talking about the upsurge with his assistant Martin Bob and future collaborator David Ellison.
Michael Ovitz said: "I think the media's statement is a bit exaggerated, but little Gilbert should indeed have reached a creative bottleneck period."
"What does this mean for us?" David Ellison asked.
"For us, this means that we no longer have to be afraid of little Gilbert and can compete head-on with his works." Michael Ovitz explained.
Since realizing that Little Gilbert was invincible in the summer, Michael Ovitz and all the studios' proposed projects have been far away from Little Gilbert's movie.
But now, Michael Ovitz feels that he no longer needs to hide from little Gilbert, and the aura of invincibility has begun to gradually dissipate.
David Ellison laughed: "Great, Nasus, it turns out that I always thought that you were getting older and your courage had become less courageous. But I didn't expect that you still have such ambitions."
Michael Ovitz and Martin Bob looked at each other, and Martin Bob said: "David, this requires the support of you and your Sky Film Studio.
Without your support, we two Hollywood old men can't beat little Gilbert. "
"Don't worry," David Ellison was confident to the point of arrogance: "Hollywood will only remember my name as David Ellison, and I will prove to everyone that little Gilbert is not invincible.
He was just bluffing, but he was actually very weak. "
David Ellison was full of confidence. He returned to Larry Ellison's home. His sister, who was in high school, said sarcastically: "The famous film producer is back? What movie was made today?"
David Ellison ignored his venomous sister and talked to Larry Ellison: "Father, I have found a way to defeat little Gilbert.
Little Gilbert is on the decline of his career as a director, and what follows is a low point. We can take advantage of this period to work hard. "
Larry Ellison doted on his son and daughter very much. When David Ellison wanted to enter the film industry, Larry Ellison was very supportive.
He even begged Little Gilbert to take care of his son!
Unfortunately, Gilbert Jr. did not agree, but Larry Ellison still found Michael Ovitz, built the framework for David Ellison, and gave him a large sum of money.
David Ellison's sister always compares herself with her brother in everything. When David enters the mainstream film industry, she will enter the independent film industry and must make some achievements.
But she's still in high school, so it's too early to talk about it.
When Larry Ellison heard this, he admired David Ellison's ambition, but he still said: "David, don't underestimate any opponent.
Besides, I'm afraid you want to be Little Gilbert's opponent, but no one will take you seriously.
Because in the eyes of little Gilbert, you are not qualified yet. "
It was indeed not qualified. Gilbert Jr. met Larry Ellison several times. Once, Larry Ellison asked Gilbert Jr. to evaluate his son. This evaluation is equivalent to a celebrity endorsement. To put it bluntly, it is commercial bragging.
Look, little Gilbert praised my son, so my son must be great and capable.
But instead of saying what Larry Ellison thought, Gilbert Jr. gave a neutral but disparaging remark.
Little Gilbert felt that David Ellison inherited Larry Ellison's arrogant character, but did not inherit Larry Ellison's vision and ability.
This evaluation still bothers Larry Ellison.
Although Gilbert Jr. is of the same magnitude as him and is also a shareholder of Oracle, Larry Ellison still feels that Gilbert Jr. should give his son a higher evaluation.
So, when David Ellison ambitiously showed him that he would defeat Little Gilbert in a movie, Larry Ellison would of course praise him.
Of course, movie geniuses like little Gilbert can’t be found everywhere. But Larry Ellison believed that his son would be an exception and a genius.
Little Gilbert didn't know that David Ellison and Michael Ovitz were interested in competing with him.
But this is normal. Hollywood is always a competitive world. Little Gilbert already has this kind of ideological awareness and is not afraid of it.
Besides, if everyone mentioned the best directors in Hollywood in the past few years, many names would always appear, or several names would be tied.
But now when everyone talks about who is the best and most famous director in Hollywood, Little Gilbert's vote rate must be number one.
Now that we are number one, we have to face constant challenges from those below us. It’s just David Ellison, plus at most one of his defeated opponents, Michael Ovitz and Martin Bob. There’s nothing to be afraid of.
The filming of "Pirates of the Caribbean" is going quite smoothly. After more than a week of hard work, the crew is getting better.
Johnny Depp's performance is surprising, and the role of Jack Sparrow seems to be completely prepared for him. As long as he exists in every scene, everyone's limelight will be stolen by him.
Especially Orlando Bloom, who had many scenes with him, was completely crushed.
So on the set of "Pirates of the Caribbean", you can often hear little Gilbert scolding Orlando Bloom when he catches him, so much so that Orlando Bloom can't even lift his head.
When the Little Gilbert hair dryer started blowing on the set, many people in the crew were silent, even the biggest names in the crew like Johnny Depp stayed away.
Little Gilbert is not one of those little directors with little prestige. His fame and reputation can be said to be the highest in the history of Hollywood.
Of course, this is not to say that Little Gilbert is the best director in Hollywood. Little Gilbert is very modest. He believes that there is still a long way to go between himself and the film masters.
However, in the past, media consultation was underdeveloped, and directing was a behind-the-scenes job that did not receive much attention.
But things are different now. With the development of television media and Internet media, everyone will gradually find that the position of director has gradually come to the forefront and become a part of the film and is taken seriously.
There is no doubt that little Gilbert, with his films, has become a calling card of Hollywood and the most famous director in the world.
In some markets where Hollywood has just entered, the first thing local moviegoers watch must be Little Gilbert's movies.
Although there are films by other directors, in general it is Gilbert Jr.'s films that are the most well-known. Coupled with Hollywood's deliberate marketing, this has resulted in such a situation.
Otherwise, why would "Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones" have the worst performance in the series, yet not many people are hyping that George Lucas is on the decline.
Part of the reason is of course that George Lucas is indeed older, and part of the reason is that he is not as famous as Little Gilbert, nor is he as popular as Little Gilbert.
