Chapter 447 Not reversing for the sake of reversal
Although it's still a little early for diversification, little Gilbert needs to make plans early.
Why do most of the world remain silent when these demons and monsters are dancing around in front of the public? At first, I was really afraid of being labeled, but later I found that I couldn't speak at all.
Because of the right to speak, the media is all in the hands of groups that support diversity, and even relatively free online public opinion is controlled.
Little Gilbert felt that the first thing he had to do was to give normal people a chance to speak out.
Turn the two media companies Disney and Time Warner into your supporters, and let the Los Angeles Times and ABC TV station wave the flag for normal people.
Compete with the New York Times, CNN and other television stations.
Then he related his Italian origin and went to the Vatican to seek support from the Pope, so that Catholics could speak out and spread God's will.
Finally, there are no restrictions on speech on the Internet social platform, and everyone can speak freely, allowing diversity to be submerged in the wave of public opinion.
This is a very simple and effective plan that little Gilbert has concluded after much thought and manipulation of public opinion over the years.
But this is somewhat dangerous, as it may push some people who originally supported him to oppose him. Maybe someone would get him a convertible and arrange for gunmen to assassinate him.
But after so many years as a director and reaching this position, little Gilbert feels like he has a responsibility on his shoulders, like a superhero.
After all, he didn't want to see a scene where demons danced wildly at a certain sports meeting in the future. It would be too explosive.
One thing worth mentioning is that the Athens Olympics will open next year. The city of Athens also invited little Gilbert to visit and serve as a consultant to provide some designs for the opening ceremony.
Or simply, directly serve as the opening ceremony director.
This is related to the age of little Gilbert, who is considered young in the director world, and the Olympic Games have a history of more than a hundred years. Therefore, letting little Gilbert serve as the director represents the legacy spirit of the Olympic Games.
But little Gilbert refused because he was busy at work, and he was indeed very busy.
The small matter of black people's protest did not affect little Gilbert's work progress. The first thing the "Warriors" crew had to do was the filming of the counterfeit banknotes.
There have been cases similar to counterfeit banknotes before, but those cases did not specifically show how to make counterfeit banknotes. They usually focused on the battle of wits and courage between the police and criminal groups.
The protagonist of this movie has changed, and the focus is on the gang that makes counterfeit banknotes, so it is necessary to show how to make counterfeit banknotes.
For this reason, at the beginning of preparations, the crew, with the help of the FBI, contacted several perpetrators of counterfeit banknote cases who were serving sentences.
The crew asked them in detail about their experience in making counterfeit banknotes, what methods they used, what materials they used, etc., and then recorded them all.
The accompanying FBI agent even thought that the crew was going to work on making counterfeit banknotes, otherwise why would they ask in such detail.
In fact, the detective's guess was correct. After receiving the information he wanted, a dilapidated warehouse at Fox Studios became a counterfeit banknote production base.
Little Gilbert and the art team began to study how to make fake banknotes that looked like real ones so that the audience would believe them.
Sofia Coppola, who was promoting her new movie "Lost in Translation", happened to be free, so she came to visit the set of "Warriors".
Seeing that the crew was making counterfeit banknotes, she joked: "If I hadn't known that you were filming a movie, I would have called the police and asked the FBI to catch you."
Little Gilbert smiled, took Sophia to visit the set, and introduced: "This will be the first time in the movie that shows how to make counterfeit banknotes. I think it can give the audience a big surprise."
"I'm also looking forward to how you will tell this story." Sofia turned around and asked: "But I heard from Sally that your script is very brain-burning, and I'm afraid the audience won't be able to understand it."
"How could it be? The story is not complicated. Don't listen to Sally. She hasn't read it carefully." Little Gilbert complained.
Charlize Theron started out as a model. She learned dance when she was a child and took an artistic route. Later, when she was 17 or 18 years old, she came to Los Angeles to pursue her dream.
When it comes to Hollywood being uneducated and unskilled, Charlize Theron is certainly not one of them. But no matter how educated she is, she doesn't match it. In fact, most Hollywood stars have very low academic qualifications. They have never gone to college or even finished high school.
But after entering Hollywood, stars will naturally learn everything about how to be a star.
Of course, this does not mean that there are no highly educated Hollywood stars. Natalie Portman and Matt Damon are all top students at Harvard University.
Jennifer Connelly graduated from Yale University and Cameron Diaz read an MBA.
Gilbert Jr. himself is an alumnus of the University of Southern California and a student of George Lucas.
Sofia continued: "Little Gilbert, we are entering a stupid era, and movies like "The Matrix" may not be suitable for Hollywood.
The audience doesn't need to think, they just need to enjoy. "
Little Gilbert shook his head and expressed his dissent: "Sofia, I think what you said is wrong. I think it is the director's problem that the audience is unwilling to use their brains to think.
If a movie wants to shock the audience, it must communicate with the audience. The first thing is to make the audience understand. "
Sophia expressed that she was convinced: "Are you saying that most directors are not as good as you?"
"That's right," little Gilbert said quite confidently, "if most directors were like me, wouldn't Hollywood be in chaos?"
It’s true, good movies need bad movies to support them.
It is because most Hollywood directors shoot like shit that the films of a few directors such as Gilbert Jr. shine like gold.
As the leading actor, Tom Hanks also needs to learn to draw. In the film, he needs to complete some scenes of painting and drawing counterfeit money himself.
Tom Hanks said that his hands were unstable and he could not draw well, but in the end he persisted and practiced many times. Later, I was even able to draw a portrait of little Gilbert, and it was no problem to draw U.S. dollars.
In addition, the actors will also conduct script reading sessions to analyze their roles, including how to perform them.
At the script reading meeting, Gilbert Jr. emphasized: "Judging from the content of the script, the structure is somewhat like the 1995 movie "The Usual Suspects."
But I think this movie is about reversal for the sake of reversal. On the contrary, I appreciate the design like "Fight Club" more, where the reversal itself serves the story. "
"So when you were designing the character of Ido Dash, you designed enough reversals?" Tom Hanks asked.
"Yes," little Gilbert nodded and said, "I regard the reversal as the content. Ido Dash makes fake money, a fake life, and a fake woman.
And these three fakes are all imitating the perfect image in his mind - what is a perfect relationship? How about a perfect counterfeit note? How about being a perfect lover? What is a perfect life?
Thinking of this, the character of Ido Dash came out, and so did the whole story. "
Tom Cruise laughed: "It looks like I'm a supporting character."
"No, Cruise, you are very important, you have a lot of action scenes." Little Gilbert said.
In fact, the scenes between the two male protagonists are very balanced. The east wind cannot overwhelm the west wind, and the west wind cannot overwhelm the east wind.
Except for work, the two Toms rarely communicate in private, and they maintain a certain tacit understanding of no contact.
In fact, Hollywood superstars have a sense of distance from each other, and there is quite a tacit understanding that the king cannot see the king.
Therefore, in the same crew, it is rare to see Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise together, and only little Gilbert, otherwise the two would not cooperate.
