Chapter 464 The Unknown Road
Guo Fan and Liu Ji soon met with Boss Wang for the second time. Perhaps Boss Wang was a little shocked by the news Liu Ji revealed last time.
Although he didn't quite understand what little Gilbert's status was, he wanted to enter the film and television industry. Boss Wang knew that this person was an American director.
When we first talked, Boss Wang didn't quite understand little Gilbert's status.
After Guo Fan and Liu Ji left, the mistress said to him: "Brother Wang, you can't miss these two people, you have to cooperate."
"How to say?"
The mistress explained: "That Xiao Guo is a disciple of director Gilbert, there is no other one in the country."
Boss Wang didn't know much about it and asked: "Isn't he just an American director? How awesome can he be? How is he better than the national teacher Zhang?"
"Oh, there's no comparison between the two." The mistress explained hurriedly: "Do you know how much the global box office is? It's already over 10 billion US dollars.
The box office of your last movie was equal to twice your net worth, and he was a two-time Oscar winner for Best Director.
Does Oscar know what it is? The most awesome film award in the world..."
It turns out that it was this mistress who encouraged Boss Wang to enter the film and television industry.
The mistress also knew something about the film and television industry, and she also knew that little Gilbert's status was extraordinary. More importantly, Gilbert Jr. is one of the most famous Hollywood directors in China, if not one.
So when Liu Ji said that Guo Fan was a disciple of little Gilbert, the mistress was shocked.
The second wife first suspected that this was impossible. But I thought that Guo Fan had studied in the United States after all, and was on the famous "Mystery of the Spell" crew.
This movie was produced by Gilbert Jr., and filming was also started at the same time as a movie directed by Gilbert Jr. himself.
So what if what Liu Ji said is true and Guo Fan went not to the crew of "The Mystery of the Spell" but to Little Gilbert's crew? What if it really is a master-disciple relationship?
The mistress thought they could take a gamble. They were new to the industry anyway, so they spent tens of millions to let Guo Fan try it out.
Brother Wang can afford to pay for half of the mine.
So the mistress once again connected Boss Wang and Guo Fan and Liu Ji for a second meeting. Both parties achieved satisfactory results in this meeting.
Boss Wang spent 20 million to establish a film and television production company, with himself as the chairman and his second wife naturally becoming the general manager.
As for the film and television company's reinvestment in Guo Fan's project, we will discuss the details at that time.
When they left the nightclub, Guo Fan and Liu Ji felt like they were in a dream. They didn't expect to get investment so easily.
"Lao Guo, are we dreaming?" Liu Ji asked.
Guo Fan replied blankly: "Probably not. If it's a dream, wake up quickly."
"Would you like to pinch me and try?"
"oh!"
Guo Fan took action and turned Liu Ji's ear hard, causing Liu Ji to jump in pain.
"Damn it, you used so much force?" Liu Ji rubbed his ears: "It seems like this is not a dream, we really got investment."
The excitement on their faces was unbearable, and they were as happy as children playing in the mud at the entrance of the village.
"You have to work hard this time and learn from your idol, Director Gilbert Little, Lao Guo."
After the celebration, Liu Ji said to Guo Fan solemnly.
"Yeah," Guo Fan nodded affirmatively and felt very stressed.
He still had some questions: "Say, what if Sister Ling discovers that we are lying, and that I actually did not study with Director Gilbert Little?
After all, I am not the only one who went there, there are others!"
Liu Ji looked worried and reassured: "Don't worry, as long as you achieve results this time, people won't care whether you lied or not.
Achievements are king, think about Director Gilbert Jr., well..."
"Understood."
Guo Fan was under greater pressure, and he knew this was an opportunity. But if it fails the first time, it will take a long time to wait for another chance to direct independently.
Guo Fan quickly threw himself into the busy work. This was his first independent director and he was very busy.
Li Haoyang, who knew him well, called him and asked him: "Guo Fan, what have you been busy with recently? Are you still resting at home? Come to my place to do it!"
Guo Fan smiled and replied: "No need, I found a job."
"What job?" Li Haoyang asked curiously.
"director……"
"Director?" Li Haoyang was a little confused when he heard this answer.
He asked Guo Fan again, but Guo Fan refused to reveal more. He just said that he should wait and there would be a surprise in the future.
After hanging up the phone, Li Haoyang shook his head. It seemed that Guo Fan had really found a job. Also, although there is no one behind him, Guo Fan came back from studying abroad and is still very popular.
What Li Haoyang didn't know was that the director Guo Fan was talking about was really the work of a director.
Little Gilbert didn't know that far across the ocean, there was someone who got the most important opportunity in his life through his name. Although Liu Ji was the mastermind, Guo Fan was at least an accomplice.
In some ways, it is not wrong that Guo Fan is his apprentice. After all, when he first started, he also considered himself a student of Spielberg.
Later, when he made great achievements, Spielberg did not deny it. Instead, he accepted his title and became a master-disciple legend in Hollywood.
Little Gilbert is becoming more and more successful, and Spielberg is becoming more and more popular.
By the same token, after Guo Fan makes achievements in the future, others will ask little Gilbert whether Guo Fan is his student.
Little Gilbert would also give a positive answer and would not deny it.
The real problem was that Guo Fan had no grades and failed.
Of course, the trajectory of history has been rewritten, and Guo Fan's fate has been changed. It is hard to say what achievements Guo Fan will achieve in the future as he embarks on an unknown journey.
Guo Fan is busy with his first project, and the trailer for Gilbert Jr.'s new movie has also appeared in a Super Bowl commercial.
This year is Super Bowl XXXVIII, the finals of the National Football League's 2003 season, pitting the American League champion New England Patriots against the National League champion Carolina Panthers.
The game was held at Reilante Stadium in Houston and became an annual event.
Little Gilbert went to Houston to watch the game together with the three leading stars of the film, including Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks, and Charlize Theron.
Although he doesn’t know much about football, he has watched the Super Bowl live for several years and little Gilbert still understands the basic rules.
The first half of the game was a duel between the two defensive teams, and no scoring occurred until the second half of the second quarter.
The Panthers were forced to punt on their first possession of the game, and Patriots wide receiver Troy Brown returned the ball 28 yards, giving New England a great gain at the opponent's 47-yard line. Course location.
The Patriots pushed all the way to the opponent's 9-yard line, but the Panthers held their ground and Patriots kicker Adam Vinatieri's 31-yard field goal attempt failed.
The Carolinas, who regained the ball, were still unable to advance, and failed three attempts and were forced to punt.
The New England Patriots, who gained the ball at the 49-yard line in the opponent's half, once again pushed the ball to the 31-yard line.
However, in the critical third-down transition, Panthers linebacker Will Witherspoon's tackle caused Brown to lose 10 yards, and New England also lost the opportunity to shoot a free kick.
With 6 minutes left, the Patriots once again came to the Panthers' 18-yard line.
This time, Panthers defensive tackle Shane Burton stepped up and blocked Vinatieri's 36-yard free kick attempt.
At the same time, the Patriots' defensive performance was not to be outdone. Panthers quarterback Jake Delhomme completed only one of his first nine passes.
He was sacked three times and had a fatal fumble after Vinatieri missed his second free kick.
After two offensive rounds, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady ran out of the pocket and advanced 12 yards on his own in a critical 7-yard situation on third down, giving the team a first scoring opportunity at the 5-yard line.
In the end, Brady used a fake running tactic to complete a touchdown connection with wide receiver Dane Branch.
The scoring drought lasted for 26 minutes and 55 seconds in the first half, setting a new record for zero points in the Super Bowl, and Branch's score also kicked off the confrontation between the two sides.
In just 8 offensive possessions, Panthers wide receiver Steve Smith responded with a 39-yard touchdown catch.

They also ended the first half with a 50-yard free kick.
At 14:10, the Patriots took the lead.
The shots in the first half frequently showed little Gilbert and three Hollywood superstars, adding a lot of color to the intense game.
Tom Cruise supports the Carolina Panthers and Tom Hanks supports the New England Patriots.
As for Little Gilbert and Charlize Theron, they don’t have a supporting team. They are just joining in the fun, cheering for whichever one is wonderful.
The intense first half of the game ended and it was time for the halftime period, which is also the time for Super Bowl commercials.
Halftime guests at this year's Super Bowl include Jessica Simpson, Diddy, Nelly, Kid Rock, Janet Jackson, Justin Timberlake and more.
After the intense first half of the game, fans and viewers in front of the TV also wanted to relax.
Advertising before the halftime show.
Various new seasonal products, fashion, cosmetics, luxury cars, electronic products, etc. are advertised. But what movie fans are most looking forward to is the Hollywood advertising segment, which has almost become a harbinger of the summer season every year.
Ever since Gilbert Jr. put movie trailers into Super Bowl ads in 1993, summer movies have put their trailers in the Super Bowl every year.
It's just that the price of releasing a trailer back then can no longer be compared with today. A thirty-second trailer would cost at least two to three million US dollars.
After other commercial breaks, it’s finally time for the Super Bowl halftime commercial.
"Coming, coming, coming." At home in Los Angeles, Doug and Zoe, husband and wife, took their sons and watched the Super Bowl commercial together.
From the time their son could speak and remember, the Dougs showed their son Little Gilbert movies and cultivated him into a loyal Little Gilbert fan.
The whole family is a fan of Little Gilbert's movies, so there is basically no need to argue every summer. We go to the cinema to watch Little Gilbert's movies, and then choose other people's movies.
