Chapter 593 There are always bad people who want to harm me
The most important thing is that the two factions really can't tell each other apart.
Because in many years of squid myth marketing, squid people are smart, united, and powerful. But if the two factions break up, the image they have built over the years will instantly collapse.
It's not a big deal if others see the joke, but it's dangerous if it affects the squid people's living space.
After maintaining a strange tacit understanding, Little Gilbert became a figure that pulled the two groups together. The media on the radical side attacked Little Gilbert and tried to discredit him.
The moderates will protect Gilbert Jr. and continue to maintain his current reputation so as to continue to increase the appeal of the moderates.
The key is really useful. George Lucas publicly stated that he was a moderate, which made the radicals curse. Spielberg has not expressed it, probably because he has been to the island.
However, privately Spielberg said that maintaining the status quo is actually good. Spielberg does not like the restoration of the country at all.
But sometimes life is so helpless, and when you make a choice, you have to bear the corresponding responsibility.
"There is a man named Epstein who wants to invite you to his club."
The crew spent one day in New York doing two road shows to promote the film.
When leaving North America, little Gilbert received an invitation. Little Gilbert took it and tore it into pieces without even wanting to look at it.
"Has Donald been there?" asked little Gilbert.
Ivanka thought for a while and said: "I don't know if dad has been there, but I heard that Epstein has many connections and is very popular in Hollywood and Wall Street.
His club is also a place frequented by New York's upper class. It is said that everyone who has been there praises it and says it is paradise. ”
"Well," little Gilbert nodded: "Such a person, unless he is a great beauty, or he has some special means to attract people to him."
"So you don't want to find out?" Ivanka asked.
"What is there to know?" Little Gilbert shrugged: "It's nothing more than various transactions and special hobbies."
The most important function of this type of club is actually the exchange of information, such as insider information on stocks, where there will be wars, futures resource trading, etc.
Of course, because confidentiality is very good, some special fetishes can usually be satisfied. Rumor has it that a fourteen-year-old girl entered this club and came out a corpse.
The girl's parents called the police, but the police concluded the case hastily because the girl committed suicide, and the girl's parents couldn't even get any compensation.
This is because the person who did this is the son of a political tycoon in Washington. He provided election funds to the New York Police Department in exchange for the matter being settled quickly.
As for the election itself, it goes without saying that with so many members in the club, if you just leak a little bit from your pocket, it will be an astronomical amount.
In "House of Cards" Peter Russell only solicited prostitutes, drunk drivers and drug addicts. This is already an unforgivable sin. But what's even more terrifying is the naked killing of people just to satisfy their desires, but nothing happens in the end.
So if this club didn't do anything dirty, little Gilbert wouldn't believe it.
It's a pity that little Gilbert is not Captain America, or Batman or Iron Man, so he can't put an end to all this evil. So I can only pretend that I can't see it, out of sight and out of mind.
That conspiracy against the people on the island took a lot of effort, and the result has been suspected to this day. Little Gilbert doesn't want to do it again.
Everyone should let each other go, and just keep talking to each other.
However, it seems that after that incident, the group still refused to give up and sent various invitations with unknown meanings to little Gilbert every day.
It was either a club or a holiday island. As a result, little Gilbert went to a few selectively and never went to other places.
These people are like this. They first use so-called information to attract you and let you reap the benefits. To further seduce you and make you fall for the trick, it’s best if you kill some people while playing, and then you’ll have a handle. In order to benefit and avoid being blackmailed, you have to join them, and at the same time hold the handle of others, and then jointly serve this organization.
This organization seeks to control everything from coast to coast, from Wall Street to Silicon Valley, from Pennsylvania to Washington.
The goal is to control the world and do whatever you want.
But little Gilbert was not fooled, and his apparent shortcomings were nothing at all. What’s wrong with having too many women? What big shot doesn't have many women? He doesn't molest children, he doesn't kill anyone, he's not afraid at all.
Besides, there are no secrets in this world.
Many people know what this group of people did, but they just didn't offend themselves, otherwise they would have been exposed to him long ago.
So what if he controls the media? Little Gilbert also controls the media, as well as the world's largest social platform and largest search engine.
Randomly spreading some information on the Internet is enough to ruin these guys' reputations.
Perhaps it is also because of the influence of Internet public opinion that there will be more and more Wall Street funds. Squid Capital wants to get all of Gilbert's shares in Internet companies from his hands.
It's a pity that little Gilbert doesn't eat the soft one, and he doesn't eat the hard one either. Threats are useless. If you are too tough, little Gilbert will slap you in the face and tell you what it means to be essentially a world-class rich man.
In this case, the only option is to unite with Washington to continue persecuting little Gilbert, shrinking his assets, cutting off his wings, and making false accusations to make little Gilbert go to jail.
But when it comes to this, the people behind Little Gilbert will no longer be able to make ends meet, so let’s start a war!
Today you punish me, tomorrow I will punish your people, the worst is civil war! It's amazing that you drop nuclear bombs to destroy mankind. Anyway, I am reborn. I am still afraid of this?
In short, in the eyes of those people, little Gilbert corresponded to Guan Hanqing's poem: "I am a copper pea that can't be steamed, boiled, hammered, or fried..."
It's disgusting, and there is nothing you can do except using conventional temptation methods and some kind of honey trap.
"I used to think that making movies was just about making movies, and there wouldn't be so many complicated things. But later I found out that I was overthinking it."
Little Gilbert said this to Ivanka on the way to Philadelphia.
Ivanka ignored this and said: "The box office data of "The Last of Us" on Friday was pretty good, with a box office of $2,351.
Including the midnight box office, the box office data has reached 36.05 million US dollars.
Mainly because of the good reputation, if it maintains this curve, the box office in the first week may be as high as about 80 million US dollars. ”
"Not bad!" Little Gilbert was quite satisfied with the box office results. He said: "My original expectation was that 60 million US dollars would be enough. This performance is enough to satisfy everyone."
Not only satisfied, I almost burst into laughter.
To be honest, studios don't actually have faith in original movies. If it weren't for Gilbert Jr., a script like "The Last of Us" would never have been put into actual filming, let alone released.
Little Gilbert continued: "When the North American promotional journey is over, Tom will have to worry more about overseas promotion."
"What are you going to do?" Ivanka asked.
She thought she was going to start a war with Epstein's group. To be honest, she was annoyed by that group. They always tempted her and tried to seduce little Gilbert through herself.
But little Gilbert had little interest in that group of people and just regarded them as wild dogs on the roadside.
"My cyberpunk universe is about to start, and I have to work on it." Little Gilbert rubbed his hands and said, "This is my first time trying to direct a series, and I'm actually a little excited!"
Looking at little Gilbert who was as excited as a child seeing a toy, Ivanka was speechless.
