Chapter 412 Xia Tian’s opponent
After giving birth to her child, Naomi Watts also actively carried out rehabilitation, mainly to lose weight and regain her figure.
Ordinary families may have to consider taking care of children, but Melon Manor has professional nannies, and the housekeeper Xingzi is a master at taking care of children.
After Noriko Sakai heard that Naomi Watts had given birth, she also found a professional nanny from the island country.
Little Gilbert couldn't figure out what the nanny had to do with the islanders.
But I heard that the upper class in North America like to find nannies from island countries, just like people in Hong Kong like to find Filipino maids. Maybe the service is more decent?
As for Naomi Watts, Peter Jackson is waiting for her to start working and join the crew of "King Kong".
According to the plan, the film will start shooting in August or September, and if it goes quickly, it can catch up with next summer's release.
Naomi Watts has lost a lot of her popularity after being silent for so long due to her pregnancy. She really needs a big-selling commercial film to regain her lost popularity.
As a remake of a classic movie, Gilbert Jr. feels that "King Kong" still has the potential to be a qualified commercial film, and it would be no problem for Naomi Watts to star in it.
In addition, because the first part of "The Secret" did well, director Steven Soderbergh plans to make a sequel, and Naomi Watts will return for a guest appearance.
Cameron Diaz, although planning to turn behind the scenes as a producer, has recently starred in the movie "Gangs of New York" and "Charlie's Angels 2" which is waiting to be released in the summer.
It's okay for her to make a movie occasionally for fun. Little Gilbert just mentioned the movie "National Treasure" to her last time.
Cameron Diaz was very interested and accepted the invitation to review the film.
The film stars Nicolas Cage, who worked with Gilbert Jr. on "The Island" and is Sofia Coppola's cousin.
But according to Sofia Coppola, Nicolas Cage has been in financial crisis recently. It seems that Cage’s life is not easy!
After Charlize Theron won the Oscar for Best Actress, she was very satisfied. Currently, all kinds of commercial activities and endorsement announcements have stopped.
She has taken on several projects of her own, including "The Terminal" with great directors Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks.
Although it is a movie produced by DreamWorks, competition is competition, and this does not limit the cooperation between Hollywood superstars and Spielberg.
It is said that producer Laurie Macdonald preferred Catherine Zeta-Jones, but Spielberg ultimately chose Charlize Theron, presumably because of Gilbert Jr.
Miss Jones has also developed very well in the past two years. Although she was not able to move into Melon Manor in the end, she successfully took root in Hollywood after becoming famous in "Chicago".
However, there was news about her and Oscar-winning actor Anthony Hopkins a few months ago. I don’t know whether it is true or false.
I heard that Miss Jones also reunited with Rachel Weisz and laughed it off, becoming good sisters again.
Maybe all the British gangs in Hollywood need to stick together, this is normal.
Jennifer Connelly's roles here are basically romance films and comedies, such as "Fifty First Dates", which she will soon collaborate with Adam Sandler, and she also does dubbing work for "Shrek 2".
Anne Hathaway took over two films, Warner's "Cinderella Story" and Universal Pictures' "Phantom of the Opera."
For the highly popular Anne Hathaway, it is not a problem at all to win the leading roles in these two movies with small investments.
As long as she wants to star, the producers and directors will basically not consider other candidates.
As for Scarlett, after filming "Lost in Translation", she mainly just played soy sauce or teased Ilian. But she couldn't be idle for long, because a chick movie called "Unruly Girl" caught her eye.
After reading the script, Scarlett liked the story very much, so she took over the film and collaborated with Rachel McAdams.
In addition, after the failure of "Gangs of New York", Martin Scorsese continued to fight for the Oscar and prepared another movie called "The Aviator" to tell the legendary story of Howard Hughes.
Leonardo DiCaprio stars in this movie, Cate Blanchett, known as the Hollywood devil, joins the movie, and Scarlett also joins in the fun with a cameo role.
This was what little Gilbert pushed Scarlett through. If you want to become an Oscar-winning actress, in addition to the right time, place, people and luck, necessary preparations are also indispensable.
Starring in an Oscar-nominated film is a way to gain seniority.
The career development of several women is quite good, and they can go very well on their own without needing too much care from little Gilbert.
After Ilian was born, little Gilbert didn't have to worry too much, so little Gilbert returned his focus to the promotion of "Pirates of the Caribbean".
He appeared on several shows and did some promotion with leading actors such as Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, and Keira Knightley.
During the program, the child Ilian was inevitably discussed.
At this time, little Gilbert is all smiles: "I think my father will be very happy that there is a successor to the Landrini family.
I was also very happy. The moment Ilian came out of the delivery room, I felt that the world suddenly changed color. "
The host asked: "So do you prefer boys or girls?"
If we ask this question twenty years later, this host will be criticized by boxers and minority groups. But it's not that magical now, it's a normal problem.
Little Gilbert thought for a while and replied: "Personally, I actually prefer girls."
"Oh?" The host was curious and asked, "Why?"
"There is a saying that a daughter is her father's lover in his previous life. I think it makes sense." Little Gilbert smiled and explained why he liked his daughter. "This is true," the host, who is also a father, agreed: "I have three children, two boys and one girl.
I like my daughter more and treat her as a princess. Maybe she was my lover in my previous life! "
The two fathers discussed their experiences of being fathers in a nonchalant manner, while the others looked confused.
Are we here to go on a show to promote a movie? Or participate in parent talks or parent-child parenting programs?
In another program, the host was also very concerned about children's problems, and also imparted some fatherly insights and experiences to little Gilbert, such as how to educate children.
The host also asked little Gilbert: "What if you have a daughter in the future and she finds a boyfriend?"
Little Gilbert thought for a while and said: "I will break her legs..."
The host was stunned for a moment, then agreed: "I might have the same choice as you."
Although this is just a joke, it fully reflects the mentality of fathers. Compared with sons who need rough training, everyone feels that daughters need to be pampered.
Of course, at present, little Gilbert only has a son, so it’s not time to worry about his daughter.
Although the topic of discussing family and children is very popular and the audience loves to listen to it, the main purpose of being on the show is to promote the movie.
"Pirates of the Caribbean" has been scheduled to be released on May 2nd, the beginning of the summer season.
This has almost become a convention. In recent years, Gilbert's movies have always been the masterpieces that kicked off the summer season.
Little Gilbert has won the North American box office and global box office championships for three consecutive years. This time, "Pirates of the Caribbean" is also coming with a lot of momentum and should not be underestimated.
But to a certain extent, although the story of "Pirates of the Caribbean" comes from a pirate ship, it is actually an original movie.
It's no secret that film adaptations and sequels are generally more successful than original films. This is why studios prefer sequels and adaptations to original films.
Among other things, Melon Studio receives many original scripts every year, and these scripts all hope that they will be favored by Little Gilbert.
But because it is original and the risks are uncontrollable, it is still in a daze in the script library of Xigua Studio.
Therefore, it is not unreasonable for some people to think that Gilbert Jr. declined after "The Return of the King". After all, the original movie is not "The Lord of the Rings" and the risk is very high.
These people have forgotten that when Gilbert Jr. wanted to film "The Lord of the Rings", they also said that adapting "The Lord of the Rings" was very difficult and there was a risk of failure.
But now, the "Lord of the Rings" series has become one of the most profitable film series in the world, and the risks faced in the early stages of the film have been ignored.
Let’s take a look at the opponents of this summer’s “Pirates of the Caribbean”.
After 20th Century Fox saw that "Pirates of the Caribbean" had been scheduled, they immediately announced the schedule of "X-Men 2", the weekend after "Pirates of the Caribbean".
In addition, Universal Pictures' "The Impersonator" is also scheduled to be released on May 23.
It is worth mentioning that this movie is a co-starring Jim Carrey and Jennifer Connelly, as well as the participation of Morgan Freeman.
Jim Carrey has been a front-line comedian in Hollywood since "The Man in Disguise". The comedy movies he stars in are always competing for summer slots.
Another competitive work is "Finding Nemo", which is the last work that Pixar Animation Studios signed a distribution contract with Disney.
"Finding Nemo" is scheduled to be released at the end of May. After the film is released, Pixar Animation Studio will become a favorite in Hollywood.
Robert Iger contacted Jobs several times and wanted to take over Pixar Animation Studio.
However, the interest relationships involved are very complicated, and with the competition from other major Hollywood companies, Jobs is in an advantageous position and is not in a hurry to sell Pixar.
To reach Steve Jobs's position, what he lacks is not money. When the time comes, he will inevitably adopt a stock exchange plan.
In addition, "Bad Boys 2" directed by Michael Bay will be released this summer.
Previously, Michael Bay was praised for his head-on confrontation with Little Gilbert, but after "Pearl Harbor", no one thought that Michael Bay could compare with Little Gilbert.
After so many years, little Gilbert has long become a master of film art. As for Michael Bay, it is still only his one hand that explodes, and the audience is really tired of it.
However, there is still hope for Michael Bay. The "Transformers" project that little Gilbert did not grab fell into the hands of Sky Studios.
Sky Studios and Michael Ovitz have worked closely together, and Michael Ovitz will definitely let Michael Bay direct "Transformers" when the time comes.
In addition to "Bad Boys 2", this summer there are also films such as "Fast and Furious 2" and "Rush Hour 3" produced by Melon Studios.
Cheng Long is now a first-line star in Hollywood. Compared with Li Lienjie, who was in Hollywood at the same time, Cheng Long is undoubtedly doing better, probably because he hugged the thigh of little Gilbert.
"Rush Hour 3" is the final chapter of the series, but Cheng Long also has the next project of "Rush Hour 2".
The previous film "Spellbound" achieved a box office of US$562 million, which is a pretty good result for an original adventure fantasy movie.
This is also the highest-grossing movie starring a Chinese actor.
In view of the good response of the first film, the sequel film is planned to be put on the agenda this summer. And it has to be quick, otherwise Shu Chang, who plays Xiaoyu, will grow up.
