Chapter 470: People feel refreshed when happy events happen
Before the premiere of the movie "Wushuang", the three women who were pregnant with Little Gilbert began to give birth.
Noriko Sakai gave birth to Gilbert's second son. The first son's name was given by Gilbert himself. This time it was an old man, and he named him Victarion Landrini.
Very stylish, a standard Italian name.
After seeking the advice of little Gilbert, Noriko Sakai gave Victarion an island name, Katsuto Sakai, and placed a beautiful vision on the child.
Fujiwara Norika gave birth to a daughter. The little girl became beautiful after her infancy and was loved by the whole family.
The daughter's name was given by her aunt Meryl, called Felicia, and was said to be the name of little Gilbert's grandmother.
The grandmother has been dead for many years, and it is common in the West to give the child the name of the elder in the family.
It is said that a daughter is her father's little cotton-padded jacket. Compared to his two sons, little Gilbert obviously prefers this only daughter.
Women in both island countries gave birth for more than a month. Cameron Diaz also gave birth to a son for little Gilbert. The old man was so happy that he almost couldn't find him.
The Landrini family grew rapidly from just two members to three men in the next generation.
This child's name is Stos, and he is the son of Hera, the god of fertility in ancient Greek mythology. It can also be regarded as an end to the current situation of the Landrini family's thin population.
The birth of three children at once attracted the attention of little Gilbert's good friends.
The last time Tom Cruise had the opportunity to be the godfather was snatched away by Robert Iger, this time he would not miss the opportunity and became Hephaestus's godfather. Naturally, Nicole Kidman also became Hephaestus's. Godmother.
Although the other two children were born to women from the island country, they were also little Gilbert's children after all, and they received equally considerable attention.
Doug Walter also said that he had a son and could arrange a baby kiss with Felicia, but little Gilbert did not agree.
Tom Cruise also said that Suri could also marry Victarion, and asked Suri if she was willing. Then Suri nodded decisively to express her willingness, leaving little Gilbert speechless.
He is opposed to deciding children's life events from an early age. While educating children well, he must also give them space for self-growth.
It's just that the actual implementation made little Gilbert, a less experienced father, a little confused.
People feel refreshed when happy events happen, and the movie "Wushuang" is getting closer to release.
Aside from the kids, there was discussion about the Little Gilbert movie at this time.
"The three preview screenings of "Wushuang" were very good and the reviews were very high. A media friend who is familiar with me said that this is the best crime movie he has seen recently.
David, you miscalculated. "
At Sky Studios, Michael Ovitz is talking to David Ellison about the summer release of Van Helsing.
"Van Helsing" was David Ellison's first film to be released as producer, and it ended up competing with Gilbert Jr.'s new film.
Michael Ovitz tried to persuade him several times, but David Ellison insisted on having his own way, and Michael Ovitz could only do nothing.
This time Michael Ovitz is still here to persuade David Ellison to change the schedule and not to collide head-on with Little Gilbert. He will not be able to beat him.
David Ellison naturally understood what he meant, but he had other ideas: "If we change the schedule like this, doesn't it mean that we are afraid of little Gilbert? Isn't that embarrassing?"
"God," Michael Ovitz sighed and held his forehead: "David, no one will laugh at you, but will say that this is a wise choice.
How many people in Hollywood are afraid of little Gilbert, so why not have one more of you?
If you have not experienced a head-on collision, it would be a real loss of face and the loss would be even greater. "
This is what Michael Ovitz said. If David Ellison were replaced by any Hollywood director, even Explosion Bay, he would definitely listen to Michael Ovitz's words.
But it is a pity that David Ellison learned Larry Ellison's madness, but did not learn Larry Ellison's wisdom and judgment.
David Ellison said disapprovingly: "Humph, Michael, I think you are scared of little Gilbert, you are all.
But I'm not afraid, I don't think little Gilbert is invincible. "
Facing the stubborn David Ellison, Michael Ovitz could only try his best to persuade.
"But judging from the reputation of the preview screening, "Warrior" is indeed outstanding, and it also has the participation of three major Hollywood superstars, that is, Hanks, Cruise, and the Queen's lineup..."
David Ellison interrupted Michael Ovitz: "I know that test screening reviews can be faked. And if the quality of the movie is bad, even thirty superstars will be useless."
Michael Ovitz was helpless. He couldn't figure out why David Ellison was so stubborn.
Little Gilbert has been in the business for so many years, and no one even bothers to use such small means as counterfeiting. Besides, the reason why two Toms can abandon the principle of not seeing the king and appear in a movie.
In addition to Little Gilbert's own name, it was not just the excellent script that attracted them.
I hope David can wake up a little after this wave of blows. Michael Ovitz has no hope for the success of "Van Helsing". Fortunately, Sky Studio has strong capital, and most of the production costs of "Van Helsing" were solved through Wall Street financing, so it can completely afford it.
On the other side, little Gilbert was not surprised to learn that David Ellison had not changed his schedule.
"It seems my name doesn't work. It's not scary at all. David Ellison refuses to change the schedule."
Sophia took out ten dollars from her bag and gave it to little Gilbert. She lost the bet.
At the same time, she doesn’t understand why David Ellison is so stubborn: “Are all young people today so crazy? ‘Van Helsing’ is obviously no match for ‘Warrior’, can’t David see that?”
"It's not that he can't see it, he's just unwilling to admit defeat." Gilbert Jr. said: "Before Larry Ellison was completely disappointed in his son, David Ellison could still afford to pay compensation.
So he wanted to try it and take a gamble.
If successful, he would immediately become famous in Hollywood. "
"It's difficult, he's a disruptor and I think most people don't like him," Sofia said.
"Yes, so the task of blocking is left to me." Little Gilbert stood up after drinking tea: "Let's go, Oscar winner for Best Original Screenplay, it's dinner time."
Sofia followed little Gilbert to the restaurant, complaining as they walked: "Why do I feel like you are mocking me with every word you say?"
"Hey, Sophia, that's just your imagination."
"Really? I don't think so..."
Time has slowly come to late April. After "Van Helsing" confirms that it will not change its schedule, it will face a direct collision with "Wushuang".
Let alone Hollywood, because of the special identities of Gilbert Jr. and David Ellison, even Silicon Valley and Wall Street are paying attention to this matter.
Las Vegas even opened a special handicap, but most people are optimistic about Gilbert Jr. Only a greedy person would choose to take a gamble and win against David Ellison.
Larry Ellison even called David Ellison specifically about this matter. He didn't know much about movies, but he also knew what the name Little Gilbert meant.
So on the phone, he told David Ellison not to take it lightly and pay attention to his opponents.
The father and son are exactly the same, and neither of them thought about changing the schedule of the movie. The reason is the same. You can't be cowardly at this time, otherwise you will lose face.
The two people's thinking angles are different from Michael Ovitz. Michael Ovitz thinks from the perspective of industry insiders and feels that withdrawal is a wise choice.
But both Larry Ellison and David Ellison believe that even if you can't beat the opponent, you can't withdraw, and you must have a head-on collision, which is also a kind of courage.
David Ellison also explained to his father: "This is to let the whole of Hollywood see our determination, and to let those who oppose Little Gilbert see that no one in Hollywood dares to stand up to Little Gilbert.
I am an outsider and need to find allies. Little Guibert was that target, the one who would allow me to find allies.
I don’t believe that all of Gilbert’s opponents have died out over the years. They just lay dormant, waiting for an opportunity, and I gave them such an opportunity. "
Larry Ellison praised: "David, your idea is great, go ahead and do it, I support you."
With his father's support, David became even more confident. He feels that even if "Van Helsing" can't beat "Warrior", it won't lag too far behind.
As long as there is such a trend of closeness between the two sides, it can send a signal to those opponents of Little Gilbert who are dormant in the dark.
David Ellison has hope, let's support him so that little Gilbert fails.
This is the difference in thinking caused by different positions on the problem. Michael Ovitz cannot understand this, and David Ellison does not say it clearly.
However, "Van Helsing" must be defeated to have this effect.
If "Van Helsing" was a huge defeat, people would only laugh at David Ellison for overestimating his abilities, but not feel that he had the ability to stand up to Little Gilbert.
The first challenge David Ellison faced was the premiere.
In order to avoid the sharp edge of "Warrior", David Ellison wisely chose to go to New York to hold the premiere of "Van Helsing".
New York is the center of the entertainment industry on the East Coast, but it is still not as bright as Los Angeles.
The guests attending the premiere of "Warriors" can be said to have gathered together from most of Hollywood, and the red carpet shone.
If it weren't for the fact that star Hugh Jackman had some friends in "Van Helsing", plus David Ellison's girlfriend Christina Aguilera invited several singers from the pop music industry, the premiere of "Van Helsing" The ceremony was very shabby.
Looking in the direction of Los Angeles, David Ellison could imagine the grand scene there.
But he is not jealous at all. The one who wins first will not be called the winner. Then he will have to see the real results in the film market.
