Chapter 506 The traitor will never die
"What's going on with Scarlett?" Cameron Diaz asked with concern.

"It's okay," little Gilbert put away the fierce look on his face, but was still noticed by Cameron Diaz.

Little Gilbert said, "I heard that David Ellison is afraid of spiders. Scarlett played a trick on him with a spider. He is probably still in the hospital now!"

Cameron Diaz knew Gilbert well and asked, "You're just going to let David Ellison off so easily? That's not like you."

"What can we do?" Little Gilbert snorted coldly: "Let him go? How is that possible?"

"Then what are you going to do?"

"No rush. We can't be like a barbarian and rush in shouting and killing. We need to be rational." Little Gilbert clapped his hands and began to think about how to deal with David Ellison.

If this happened in medieval or modern Europe, young Gilbert would have just thrown his glove at David Ellison and confronted him.

But it is not like that now. The era of using force and shouting for war and killing is long gone. The upper class is not the lower class. Using knives and guns will easily arouse the hatred of others and will also usher in endless revenge.

Besides, David Ellison’s incident could be a big deal or a small one. After all, he didn’t succeed and was scared enough by the prank.

A magnanimous person would let him go and let the matter go.

But Gilbert Jr. was petty, and it was enough to drive David Ellison out of Hollywood and make Larry Ellison disappointed in his son.

You know, Larry Ellison doesn't have only one son, he has many heirs.

Because this involves privacy and is not very glorious, David Ellison asked Michael Bay to issue a gag order, strictly prohibiting the matter from being spread.

But Michael Bay said, "David, I don't think this can be hidden.

I know Scarlett well. Since you didn't succeed and she played a prank on you, she will definitely brag about it everywhere."

David Ellison closed his eyes in pain and slapped himself.

"Why would I be so cheap as to provoke her?"

Michael Bay secretly complained: Who knows why you lost your mind? Didn't you see that little Gilbert was behind him?

He quickly reminded David Ellison: "Losing face is secondary now. The most important thing is Gilbert Jr. I'm afraid he will retaliate."

"Revenge?" David Ellison was even more furious: "I haven't even mentioned revenge yet, how dare he take revenge on me?"

Michael Bay signaled David Ellison to calm down: "Little Gilbert should know the limits. If he wants to retaliate, it should be on a movie level."

Speaking of this, David Ellison perked up: “If it’s just in the film field, then I’m not afraid.

Both of our studio's projects next year have great potential, and I can give Gilbert Jr. a run for his money."

Michael Bay doesn't know where David Ellison gets his confidence from, but he'd better leave this matter to Michael Ovitz and Martin Bob!
As a small director, he cannot afford to offend these big names in Hollywood.

Michael Ovitz and Martin Bob soon learned about this, and both of them couldn't help but hold their foreheads and sigh.

This was originally normal business competition, but David Ellison's behavior instantly mixed it with personal grudges, which made it unusual.

Hollywood bigwigs usually have some quirks. Some like to share with others, whether men or women. Some have this cleanliness obsession, and Gilbert is exactly that kind.

So whether it was Naomi Watts and Cameron Diaz, or Anne Hathaway, or even those island women who had relationships with Gilbert Jr., no one dared to take action.

Now David Ellison became the first person to eat the crab, but the crab was too big and it pinched him.

What's even more terrifying is that the shark, Little Gilbert, has already focused his attention on David Ellison.

One can imagine what will happen next.

After Michael Ovitz's analysis, David Ellison also understood the seriousness of the matter.

He thought that Gilbert Jr. was still a shareholder of Oracle, so he quickly asked his father for help.

Larry Ellison on the other end of the phone scolded his son, and then said: "Don't worry, I have talked to Gilbert Jr., and he will not pursue you."

David Ellison was relieved: "That's great. I was wrong about this matter. I will think carefully before taking action next time."

So David Ellison thinks he has chosen the wrong target, not that his own behavior is wrong.

Larry Ellison understood his son well: "Don't expect anything lucky, just focus on the movie.

Listen more to Michael Ovitz and others and gain a foothold in Hollywood."

David Ellison nodded in agreement, but he didn't agree in his heart. If Scarlett Johansson couldn't do it, then Anne Hathaway or Jennifer Connelly could.

These two have only been with little Gilbert for a short time, so they probably don't have such deep feelings for him.

From an outsider's perspective, David Ellison's behavior was extremely stupid. How could he try to steal someone else's girlfriend like this?
Of course, similar things have happened in Hollywood before, such as the much-publicized love triangle between Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Aniston, and Brad Pitt.

There are rumors that Angelina Jolie stole her love, and Jennifer Aniston cried every day after losing Brad Pitt.

There is also James Franco, who played the little devil in the "Spider-Man" series. His girlfriend was actually stolen away by "Spider-Man" producer Ian Bryce.

James Franco was just starting out and needed this opportunity, so even though his girlfriend was taken away from him, he still endured it. Perhaps because he felt that his behavior was immoral, Ian Bryce asked the screenwriter to give James Franco more scenes.

As someone who is destined to leave a name in Hollywood, David Ellison feels that he has integrated well into the circle. This good habit is also learned from a group of predecessors and carried forward.

But David Ellison did not notice that usually when someone robs a woman or a man, or someone who is neither male nor female, it is ostensibly the superior robbing the inferior.

Or when people of similar status compete with each other, this is called jealousy.

There are also some other situations, such as everyone plays their own games and sharing with each other. But if you don't want to, no one will force you.

Of course, there are women or men who secretly seduce big guys, but these are more secretive.

David Ellison is the only one who is openly trying to seize the position of a superior, although he himself does not think so.

This is the thinking bias caused by cognitive differences. Others think he is stupid, but he is complacent and planning for the next opportunity.

So David Ellison didn't listen to Michael Ovitz's advice at all, and he really had an idea.

Take advantage of little Gilbert's let down of his guard and strike again.

Little did they know that young Gilbert had not let his guard down at all. He had always taken David Ellison, the outsider, very seriously, and now this incident had happened again.

"Scarlett asked us if we should spread the word?" Cameron Diaz asked.

"Spread the word," Little Gilbert clapped his hands, "Spread it vigorously. Let Scarlett and her good friends tell this story when they brag about it."

“Should we use the media?”

"That's not necessary. I don't think David Ellison will give up given his temper," said Gilbert Jr.

"You mean, he dares to mess with Scarlett?" Cameron Diaz was surprised.

"Not really," Gilbert Jr. explained, "Growing up, what did David Ellison want that he didn't get? This kind of person is very clear about his goals.

What do you think he wants? A woman?"

"I'm afraid not. What he wants is to step on your head to get to the top in Hollywood and use your face to pave his red carpet in Hollywood," said Cameron Diaz.

"That's right," Little Gilbert said, stroking his beard, "Send more bodyguards to Jacqueline recently and tell her to be careful. Rean is with me, so she'll be fine."

"Okay," Cameron Diaz took out her phone and said, "I'll notify Jacqueline and her agent and ask them to pay attention."

Gilbert thought for a moment and then said, “I heard that David Ellison is very interested in the projects I invested in. You can spread the word that I am interested in several compilation films.

Didn’t a French baron promote a biographical film about Napoleon last time and approach me through Jacqueline?

Just tell me that I am very interested in this project and plan to invest $200 million to make an epic biographical film.

Cameron Diaz was confused: "What are you doing?"

"Let David Ellison snatch it, and you and Ivanka contact the French baron first." Little Gilbert thought: "Only by mixing the truth with the false can this thing succeed."

Gilbert Jr.'s purpose is simple. Larry Ellison's support for David Ellison is not unlimited. Once David Ellison continues to fail, Larry Ellison will inevitably withdraw such support.

Without Larry Ellison's funds, David Ellison is like a cat without claws, unable to hurt anyone.

However, although David Ellison has a strange way of thinking and is surrounded by Hollywood veterans such as Michael Ovitz and Martin Bob, it is not easy to trick him.

It just so happens that recently there is a baron who claims to be from France and has been looking for cooperation with Hollywood companies to produce a biographical film about Napoleon.

This caused a lot of discussion among film companies, and many directors expressed interest.

Little Gilbert also met with the baron, and it must be said that the baron was very persuasive. The project planning he made was impeccable and highly feasible.

But little Gilbert commissioned Sophie Marceau in France to find someone to help him investigate, and indeed they found some clues.

Gilbert felt that the project was a pitfall, and he had never heard of any Napoleon biopics in his past life. The only one that was released was still a flop more than a decade later.

So Gilbert Jr. immediately gave up the idea, but the project was still very popular in Hollywood.

David Ellison may have noticed, but with so many people paying attention, he may not have made up his mind.

If Gilbert Jr. expresses strong interest again, David Ellison might take the bait and snatch the project away from Gilbert Jr.

Add to that several other projects, and Sky Studios’ cash flow will definitely be strained.

If all these movies fail, Sky Studios' funding chain will be cut off and David Ellison will lose his father's trust.

On the other hand, a son who has lost trust will certainly not be able to inherit Oracle, and the shareholder Gilbert Jr. will also join forces with other shareholders.

The Larison family has more than just David Ellison as his heir. David Ellison, who has lost his wealth and status, is just a lamb to be slaughtered and can be manipulated by Little Gilbert at will.
