Chapter 581 The method of family education
“Elyan, do you want to go to the premiere with me?”
In the melon manor, little Gilbert caught him playing with his younger siblings. The eldest son asked.
"Premiere? Is it the premiere of your new movie, Dad?"
Elion's eyes inherited the color of his mother, Naomi Watts, and they blinked. , the eyelashes are still very long and very beautiful.
"Yes," little Gilbert asked again: "Do you want to go?"
"Of course I want to go..." Ilian asked: "Do I need to prepare anything?"
"No, let your Aunt Xingzi find a tailor to make a small dress when the time comes, and just attend with your mother and me." Little Gilbert said.
Ilian nodded ignorantly and began to look forward to the premiere of his father's new movie.
Because little Gilbert is busy with work, he actually doesn’t have much time to educate his children. Fortunately, Kyoko, the housekeeper, and several other women were well-educated, and Ilian did not have the usual arrogance and temper that come from a rich family.
On that day, it may also be because Ilian has not grown up and his character has not yet been finalized.
On April 20th, the little guy celebrated his third birthday. Elyan is very smart and well behaved.
Every guest who comes to the house will praise Ilian when they see him. Because Ilian speaks clearly and logically. Some adults couldn't even understand what they were saying, so they couldn't compare to him.
By the way, Ilian will still have lunch at noon. This is mainly related to little Gilbert, who hired a Chinese teacher for Ilian. Not only him, but all the children have added Chinese as an option since they started learning.
I still remember that this year Ilian went to kindergarten for the first time. When he went on stage to introduce himself, he introduced himself in Chinese as Huijun.
The person who led their class was a Chinese female teacher. When she heard Ilian's good Chinese, she covered her mouth in surprise.
In fact, Ilian can study at home, and the quality of tutoring is much better than that in kindergarten. Although this kindergarten specifically serves the children of Los Angeles rich, celebrities, and big directors.
The school was introduced by Tom Cruise, and his daughter Suri Cruise was also in this kindergarten.
Human beings are social animals after all, and it is impossible to be separated from others for a long time without contact. On the road of growing up, some childhood memories must be left behind, which will be of great help in shaping the outlook on life.
In fact, if possible, little Gilbert would like to send his children to public schools and interact with ordinary people.
But unfortunately, public school education in North America is very poor. On the surface, it is to release children's nature and not interfere with children's freedom.
But in fact, it is just laissez-faire. The teacher doesn’t care at all and implements happy education. Under such an education model, someone who can grow into a talent is really a genius.
If you want to get a good education, you have to go to an elite private school.
But private schools usually have a problem, that is, comparison is common. And due to the influence of the culture, the children studying there are no longer innocent starting from elementary school.
Malfoy in "Harry Potter" is a representative of the elite children. It can only be said that there are good things and bad things. Little Gilbert finally decided to send his children to an elite school.
Of course, little Gilbert also fully respects the children's opinions.
Erian once pointed at the president giving a speech on TV and said that he would be the president when he grew up, which made little Gilbert stunned.
It is good to be ambitious. Little Gilbert even dreamed of becoming an astronaut when he was a child. As a result, Xizhilang got it, but the astronaut still didn't take it seriously.
After Ilian's birthday, the preview screening of "Iron Man" officially started.
The market response to Marvel's first comic book blockbuster has been pretty good, and everyone is looking forward to it. The previous trailers all showed good quality. The only thing I worry about is that I'm afraid that all the exciting content of the film will be edited into the trailer, and it will be a piece of shit in the main film.
Of course, because Gilbert Jr. is the producer, fans are still looking forward to this movie. The only question is whether Robert Downey Jr. is a bit unsuitable for the lead role.
The bad impression of Robert Downey Jr. is still there, and many people may choose to give up watching this movie because of their bad impression of him.
Robert Downey Jr. made active efforts. When cooperating with the promotion of "Iron Man", he admitted his mistakes in various public places and said that he had turned around and changed his past.
He has also actively participated in public welfare undertakings, such as sending warmth to the elderly in the community, volunteering in welfare homes, etc., which has restored part of his image.
But the most important thing is that the movie must be successful, otherwise all the previous work will be in vain.
The Scounda Theater in Los Angeles is where the preview screening of "Iron Man" was held. The first preview screening was attended by theater representatives and media critics.
With the rise of movie rating websites such as IMDB, we have now entered the era of mass film critics.
However, some influential film critics, relying on the reputation they have accumulated in the past, can continue to shine in the new era if their transformation goes smoothly.
Of course, there are also popular film critics who are relatively influential and are now invited by film companies.
These people may have been movie fans before, or something else, but they are not movie critics.
But because of the emergence of websites like IMDB, their talents in film reviews have been demonstrated, and they have accumulated many fans.
These highly influential popular film critics are also invited.
Peter is such a film critic. He has accounts on IMDB and blogs, and has millions of followers.
His articles "History of the Development of Film", "Looking at Little Gilbert from the Lord of the Rings", and "The Secret of Hollywood's Global Dominance" have gained widespread recognition and attention.
The article "Little Gilbert through the Lord of the Rings" has even become a model essay for major film-related majors in the United States to study Little Gilbert's films.
Because of his influence, Peter received an invitation to a preview screening. This was the first time he received an invitation to a film preview.
This shows one thing, he can already make a living from this and no longer has to return to his hometown in the Rust Belt to work as a small-town teacher with a low salary.
It means that he can take his wife and daughter to Los Angeles where the conditions are better, and the family can live happily here.
Of course, Peter knew one thing very well. All of this was based on his reputation by writing film reviews online. He recently plans to publish a book about movies and is in the process of contacting a publisher.
If Gilbert Jr. can be found to write a foreword for him, this book will surely be a big seller, and maybe it will become a teaching material for the film major at the University of Southern California.
However, the plan to publish a book is still under preparation. For now, I’d better do my job well first.
At the preview screening of "Iron Man", Peter saw several acquaintances. The famous film critic Kate Landis, whom he envied, was also here and said hello to him.
Peter Landis is a film critic who contributes to the San Francisco Chronicle. He is also currently on the Internet and has his own show.
Peter didn’t see another film critic, the famous Little Gilbert playing Roger Ebert.
Hearing that Roger Ebert was in poor health, little Gilbert did not attend today's preview but went to Chicago to visit his old friend.
So today’s preview did not have Little Gilbert in attendance, but Marvel responded well, and with the help of Touchstone Pictures, the preview was successfully held.
