Chapter 559 A Beautiful Accident
The series that Gilbert Jr. is going to produce is strictly an adaptation of the cartoon, "Cyberpunk: Edgewalker."
That’s right, little Gilbert plans to make the story of David and Rebecca into a live-action series and begin to gradually tell the story of cyberpunk.
Marvel has just created an MCU universe, and they are also going to create a cyberpunk universe.
As for whether he will fail, to be honest, little Gilbert is not worried.
Because this is a TV series, even if it fails, it will not affect Little Gilbert's status in the film industry. But if it works, little Gilbert will feel handsome.
Besides, with his current status, even if a movie with a production value of hundreds of millions hits the market, it will not have much impact.
So little Gilbert made "The Last of Us" with confidence because he already had the qualifications and status to be willful.
Of course, this is not a reason for him not to focus on making movies. Little Gilbert is still very attentive when it comes to film production.
Being willful does not mean that you can be casual in filmmaking, but it means that you can be bolder in the choice of subject matter, and be able to shoot things that other directors want to shoot but cannot.
This is almost the privilege of a great director. Even if he becomes a first-line director in Hollywood, the film company and the producer still have the final say on the subject matter.
Let’s pay attention to “King Kong” directed by Peter Jackson and starring Naomi Watts.
This film was released almost at the end of the summer season, avoiding the fierce competition in the summer season. The film earned US$55.06 million in ticket sales in its first week, which is a pretty good result.
As of the last weekend of October, "King Kong" has grossed US$167.55 million at the North American box office, and the global box office has reached US$395.93 million.
The production cost of the film was US$120 million, which was not as high as the rumored US$200 million.
Without the blessing of the "Lord of the Rings" series, Peter Jackson's salary is not high. Except for Naomi Watts, who received a salary of 15 million US dollars, the rest of the cast and crew did not receive more than 8 million US dollars.
Naomi Watts's salary is more of a share of the box office, so she made certain concessions in her salary.
This story can be said to be the story of Beauty and the Beast, a typical Hollywood commercial blockbuster. In terms of word-of-mouth, it maintains a qualified status. It cannot be said to be very good, but it is not bad either.
The scene where King Kong masturbates on the Empire State Building is impressive enough.
The small popularity of this film also allowed Naomi Watts to return to the ranks of top actresses after giving birth.
"King Kong" is a rare film in which an actress plays the lead role in a commercial blockbuster. Although it still serves the role of a vase, what the audience wants to see more is the gorilla.
In fact, sometimes I think about the audience being very perverted. This is a rule that the market has summarized over the years. Horror movies like shark movies with monsters, etc., must have a sexy heroine.
The heroine of Little Gilbert's first movie "Shark Tank" was Gwyneth Paltrow, and she was almost all a one-woman show.
Although Gwyneth Paltrow has nothing to do with sexiness, the film still became a success with the scene of a shark chasing a weak girl.
In addition, there is another thing, that is, movies with beasts and humans must be beautiful. "King Kong" is a typical example.
Think about it, if there was a male actor and a female King Kong, wouldn’t this scene be very scary? The female King Kong masturbates on the Empire State Building for the male protagonist, and her anus tightens just thinking about it.
For Peter Jackson, "King Kong" is considered a small success, and the global box office will definitely exceed 500 million US dollars. This also allowed him to win the trust of Disney and Warner, and eventually the "Hobbit" project will be handed over to him.
Coupled with the fact that little Gilbert controls the quality, I believe the film will not disappoint.
Another movie worthy of the audience is "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" directed by Tim Burton and starring Johnny Depp. This movie has currently achieved US$556 million, which is not a bad result. . Johnny Depp is currently filming "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest", and the film is almost finished.
Based on on-site feedback, it feels pretty good.
Although Gilbert Jr. served as the producer of "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest", he paid little attention to this project.
With a mature and reliable producer, and with detailed descriptions of the content of previous film shoots, the problem is not that big.
Stephen Sommers still has some ability, but sometimes he tends to exert himself. But with the producers watching, he couldn't do it even if he wanted to.
Before "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" is the comedy "Wedding Crashers", released by New Line Cinema.
This movie is not very good-looking. The main reason is that the film's star Rachel McAdams had some sexy news in advance.
A gossip website released a photo that appeared to be of Rachel McAdams nude at the beach. Of course, this is not the key.
Which actress in Hollywood does not have similar photos? Very normal.
What is unusual is that there are also several naked men surrounding Rachel McAdams. It looks like they are playing sports together.
Although the public has long heard about the corrupt lives of Hollywood public figures. However, the publication of such photos in a grand manner still caused great disgust among the public.
How should I put it? In fact, most of the public also have double standards.
Deep down in their hearts, they may not want to do this, but they dare not due to the constraints of social morality.
So it is not uncommon for men to be prostitutes and women to be thieves secretly in Hollywood, but on the surface everyone is a good role model and a moral model.
Even Li Zi, who changes women as diligently as he changes clothes, is also an ambassador of charity and environmental protection on the surface, claiming to contribute to all mankind.
But according to little Gilbert’s understanding, Leo doesn’t care about charity or environmental issues at all. He only talks about these things to add a halo to his identity.
By the way, Leo also had sex with Rachel McAdams at a masquerade party.
After finishing it, DiCaprio came back and excitedly told Little Gilbert that Rachel McAdams must play Catwoman. She is so hot.
However, this proposal was rejected by Gilbert Jr. It was still early for Catwoman.
What’s even more interesting is that after this explosive photo was exposed, there were suddenly rumors that a certain Hollywood producer who likes multi-person sports has HIV.
It was so frightening that most of Hollywood went to the hospital for examination. During that time, various party activities in Hollywood stopped a lot.
From time to time, entertainment reporters can photograph worried celebrity producers and directors from the entrances of major private hospitals, as if the earth will be destroyed in the next moment.
After coming out, some people were relieved, some had expressionless faces, and some had deathly ashes on their faces. It can be called the essence of human expressions.
The most amazing thing is that even with this sexy news, "Wedding Crashers" still achieved good results. According to interviews, it was mostly male viewers who wanted to see how hot Rachel McAdams was.
And Rachel McAdams did not disappoint these LSPs. The lingering temptation made the LSPs unable to stop.
This can be regarded as an alternative marketing method. Although I don’t know whether this marketing method was intentional by the film company or it was an accident.
