Chapter 467 Football and Movies
The awards for Best Actor are over, and it’s the turn of the Awards for Best Director.
As the winner of the last Oscar for Best Director, Gilbert Jr. will present the award to this year's Oscar for Best Director.
"Movies are a journey of dreaming, and the director is undoubtedly the engineer of dreams. Today we are here and watch these outstanding dreamers weave beautiful dreams one after another.
And the most outstanding dreamer among them will win the Best Director Oscar this time. "
Sofia in the audience watched little Gilbert reciting the opening remarks in a formulaic manner, thinking that since it was little Gilbert who presented the award, would she have some chances?
But unfortunately not, the name that finally came out of little Gilbert's mouth was Peter Weir. The Australian director had previously directed "The Truman Show."
He won the Oscar for Best Director this time for "Walk of Water," an epic naval battle film. Since the "Lord of the Rings" series, epic films have become popular.
This time "Battlefield" won the Oscar for Best Director, which undoubtedly added to the fire.
As far as little Gilbert knows, there is also a "Troy" starring Brad Pitt and Orlando Bloom being released this year.
Nowadays, Orlando Bloom is about to become a regular actor in epic films. Ridley Scott's new project "Kingdom of Heaven" is also looking for Orlando Bloom.
Orlando Bloom, who was trained by little Gilbert, is very popular among big directors. It's so useful!
In the end, "Spider-Man" starring Tobey Maguire won the best picture. It seems that apart from "Spider-Man", Spider-Man's other films are also good.
This Oscar has come to a successful end. If Gilbert Jr. was asked to describe this Oscar ceremony, it can only be described as chaos.
Why? Because "Return of the King", which was supposed to be a big success this year, had already been a big success last year.
Therefore, this year's Oscars has a feeling that there are no tigers in the mountains and the monkey is the king.
Of course, some are happy and some are sad. Anyway, the winners must be beaming with joy. Nicole Kidman, in particular, took center stage at the Vanity Fair dinner.
Finally at the Vanity Fair dinner, little Gilbert spoke to Naomi Watts.
Looking at Nicole Kidman being congratulated, Naomi Watts said to little Gilbert: "It seems that Mary has finally come true and won an Oscar."
Little Gilbert was more curious: "Naomi, aren't you jealous?"
"Jealous? Why are you jealous?" Naomi Watts held Little Gilbert's arm and said, "Without Mary, I would have quit Hollywood long ago, and I wouldn't have known you."
"Yes." Little Gilbert took two glasses of champagne from the waiter and motioned to Naomi Watts: "Let's go and congratulate her..."
The two walked next to Nicole Kidman. When everyone saw little Gilbert and Naomi Watts coming, they automatically moved out of the way.
"Congratulations, Marie." Naomi Watts and Nicole Kidman are like sisters.
Nicole Kidman was very proud today, but she still responded with a better attitude: "I was lucky enough to win this time, Naomi."
"No, no, no, the Best Actress trophy you are referring to." Little Gilbert interjected: "I told Tom a long time ago that if Oscar doesn't give you recognition, I will take action."
"Hahahaha" Nicole Kidman was amused: "Little Gilbert, thank you, but I think I'll leave it to Naomi and the others!"
Nicole Kidman is still very sensible. If there is a film with Oscar potential, little Gilbert will definitely choose his women first.
This was the case for "Chicago", but Nicole Kidman didn't expect that Tom Cruise would also win the award.
After a little socializing, little Gilbert saw that it was getting late and left first.
And Naomi Watts also wants to chat with Nicole Kidman for a while, catching up on old times and so on.
Although both are in Hollywood, after becoming famous, the two don't see much time together.
Little Gilbert found Scarlett, who was stealing cake, and Charlize Theron, who was talking about projects with several producers, and went back together.
On the way, Little Gilbert also asked Charlize Theron: "I see you had a great time talking with those producers. Have you concluded the project?"
"I'm still thinking about it," said Charlize Theron, who has already achieved success in terms of awards and is now very casual about taking roles.
"Don't hesitate when you see a good project. Opportunities are rare. Works are the lasting vitality of an actor, even when he is old." Little Gilbert expressed his understanding.
Charlize Theron looked at little Gilbert with a smile and asked: "You mean, you dislike me for being old?"
"No, no, you are not old, you are still young!"
"Oh, some people just like young people, don't you think so, Scarlett?"
Scarlett nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Yes!"
"Uh, Scarlett, if you're being threatened, just blink."
"No……"
Little Gilbert held his forehead and had a conscience. Wasn't it because he chatted with Emma Watson for a while a few days ago? Why do you like the new and hate the old?
This is just a little fun when we get along, and the occasional quarrel can also help improve the relationship.
After the Oscar, little Gilbert still did not relax about the movie announcement of "Warrior". He frequently appears on talk shows and even shows off his affection for Charlize Theron. At the same time, the media and gossip tabloids owned by Warner and Disney also began to hype the CP between the two Toms.
To put it simply, it is to make up some small stories, such as the rumored story about the two people cherishing each other. In the process of acting, we help each other, from being displeased with each other to seeing each other as close friends.
These stories also have noses and eyes, and coupled with a few stills that leaked out from nowhere, they look very real.
For an original movie, without the support of adaptations and previous works, it needs stronger publicity. Using the popularity of the leading actors for publicity is undoubtedly the easiest way.
In this regard, the movie "Wushuang" is undoubtedly the best. Because it has three major stars at the same time, as well as a very topical super director Little Gilbert.
And the movie "Van Helsing" that competes with "Wushuang" in the same year, even if it is a movie adaptation, it is far less topical than "Warrior".
"That's because 'Van Helsing' is essentially a hodgepodge movie that, while it has a lot of well-known legendary characters, is not very engaging."
On the plane to the UK, Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise, and Little Gilbert chatted about "Van Helsing."
Little Gilbert said: "I think no one pays attention to "Van Helsing" because of the two of you participating."
Tom Cruise agreed: "Michael Ovitz has worked hard, but David Ellison is too arrogant. He thinks his works can collide with ours."
Tom Cruise has been going smoothly in the past few years and has not encountered the same setbacks as in his previous life, so his temper has become crazier and more violent.
Fortunately, his agent and Nicole Kidman were able to hold him back, and he now has a child, so he can listen to little Gilbert's words, so he didn't offend many people.
But when it came to David Ellison, he was less polite.
Before following Little Gilbert to England, Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman attended a charity dinner and happened to meet David Ellison.
The meeting between the two was regarded as the first battle between "Warriors" and "Van Helsing", but how could the immature David Ellison be the opponent of Tom Cruise, who has been in Hollywood for many years?
After some verbal jab, David Ellison retreated.
After hearing about this incident, little Gilbert asked Tom Cruise: "Aren't you afraid that David Ellison will fight with you?"
Tom Cruise said he was not afraid: "He's going to give it a try? I'll make him cry and go back to Larry Ellison."
David Ellison was an outsider. Unlike Gilbert Jr., who was a natural within the Hollywood circle, he was ostracized.
Many people would be very happy if they were beaten up by Tom Cruise.
This kind of matter is usually not reported to the police and is resolved privately. Calling the police is breaking the rules and is even more ostracizing.
Tom Hanks agreed: "Indeed, David is not good enough to fight Ethan Hunt."
Ethan Hunt is the character played by Tom Cruise in "Mission: Impossible" and has become one of Tom Cruise's masterpieces.
Tom Cruise was really happy to hear this.
Little Gilbert couldn't help but secretly give Tom Hanks a thumbs up. In terms of emotional intelligence, Tom Hanks is undoubtedly very high.
The two Toms were able to film smoothly on the set without quarreling, and Tom Hanks deserves a lot of credit for coaxing Tom Cruise like a child.
The three of them went to the UK on this trip to watch a Premier League match.
It has long been said that Gilbert Jr. will use football to promote his movie brand. Now in the UK and continental Europe, rumors that he wants to acquire Arsenal are spreading.
This time, just in time to ride on the popularity of this topic, the three of them went to watch an Arsenal football match, and by the way, they were building momentum for the film and the acquisition.
Arsenal's performance this season is very good. The season is coming to an end at the end of March. Arsenal is still 12 points ahead of second-placed Manchester United. The Premier League championship looks very stable.
In addition, the team has won consecutive victories in the FA Cup and has reached the final. It is hoped to defend the FA Cup championship and achieve a double crown.
More importantly, there are now rumors of an affair between Arsenal and the famous Hollywood director Gilbert Jr., which has been going on for several months and is becoming more and more noisy.
The British didn't believe it at first, but looking at the constant hype in the media, it seemed that the acquisition was going to come true.
More importantly, Arsenal's head coach Wenger expressed his views on the takeover for the first time in an interview after a game.
He said that the team is very united and ready to sprint for the championship.
At the same time, he also hopes that when the club is building a new stadium, they will not forget to increase investment in transfers. Arsenal must make a difference in the transfer market.
These words were immediately interpreted by the media as Professor Wenger wanted little Gilbert to join Arsenal, so he said these words.
Arsenal is not short of funds, but after all, there are many shareholders and they still demand dividends.
Nowadays, it costs a lot of money to build a stadium, so it is necessary to save money on transfers.
But if Gilbert Jr. takes over Arsenal, he will definitely not be stingy with the transfer fee. Professor Wenger can spend money to buy people randomly.
In order to find out what little Gilbert was thinking as soon as possible, a group of reporters found out the time when Little Gilbert's private plane landed in London.
After little Gilbert got off the plane, he was surrounded by reporters from Fleet Street.
