Chapter 553 The main point is a maverick

Inevitably, the scene had to be re-enacted, after all, Kate Beckinsale's limelight was suppressed.

Jon Favreau called two actors over, and Gilbert Jr. didn't say anything. But when the two actors listened to Jon Favreau's instructions, they kept looking at Gilbert Jr.

When they were finally preparing for the shooting, Gilbert Jr. made a cheering gesture, and Kate Beckinsale instantly became full of confidence and got it done in one take.

"Click, not bad, not bad! Director Gilbert Jr., what do you think?" Jon Favreau asked Gilbert Jr. for his opinion.

"Well done, both actors did a great job," praised Gilbert Jr.

"Did you hear that? Director Gilbert said you two performed very well," Jon Favreau said loudly.

The two actresses were very happy, after all, it was very rare to receive praise from director Gilbert. Afterwards, Leslie Bibb was asked, "How did you manage to overpower Kate in your first performance?"

Leslie Bibb was very proud: "It's simple. Before the filming, Director Gilbert encouraged me but not Kate, so I had an advantage."

The people around them suddenly realized what was going on.

After this scene, there was still a scene with Robert Downey Jr., and Gilbert Jr. chatted with Robert Downey Jr. for a while.

Robert Downey Jr. said frankly: "This is the most fulfilling time in my life. I go all out every day while filming and treat it as my last chance."

Gilbert Jr. said, "That's a great idea, Donny. The most important thing in Hollywood is opportunity, and opportunities are very, very rare.

I hope you remember that feeling, and don’t get carried away when the movie comes out and if it’s a success.”

"Of course not," Robert Downey Jr. assured, "I will never forget who I am now, and I will also use my past self as a negative example to make sure I don't repeat the same mistakes."

"That's good," little Gilbert said relieved.

Gilbert Jr. certainly doesn't care about Robert Downey Jr., it's just that his image affects the plans for the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Just think about it, if Robert Downey Jr. got into a scandal like he did before, what kind of negative publicity would Marvel movies suffer?

It is very common to hate a movie because of an actor, but what is safe to say is that Robert Downey Jr. did a good job in his previous life and did not repeat the same mistake, and Gilbert Jr. was just giving a reminder.

Before returning to Australia, Gilbert Jr. met with Marvel executives for a meeting.

At the meeting, Gilbert Jr. made Marvel clearly aware of the current situation of superheroes, and bluntly stated that this is an unprecedented good era for superhero movies.

But Marvel must have a clear understanding of itself and not get lost in the joy of success.

"Marvel movies will definitely be successful because they are a rigid demand of the film market." Gilbert Jr. said: "We all know that superhero comics were created around World War II because of the need for heroes.

But in the past, people could only satisfy their fantasies about superheroes through comic animations or movies that were not very good.

In other words, these manifestations are not as omnipotent as the audience imagines superheroes to be.

But now the development of computer-generated special effects industry has made it possible for superheroes’ magical powers to be separated from comics and displayed on the big screen.

That’s why Spider-Man and X-Men are so successful, because they satisfy the audience’s fantasy.”

Seeing that the executives seemed to be thinking about something, Gilbert continued, “I think the next decade or so will be the era of superhero movies, because there are two to three generations of comic book fans and audiences who need to be released.

This is a rare golden age for Marvel, and I hope you will seize it."

A senior executive asked curiously, "Will superhero movies be outdated in a dozen years?" Gilbert Jr. said, "I can't see things that far ahead, but any type of movie will eventually be boring to the audience.

Fortunately, for us, the era of superhero movies has just begun, and we can think about how to plan for the future as we go along, and how Marvel will survive in the post-superhero movie era."

Little Gilbert's words were very inspiring. Everyone present was not a fool and was thinking seriously about what Little Gilbert said.

Gilbert knows that Marvel still has more than a decade of glory to go. What he wants to avoid is that in the future, some inappropriate elements will be inexplicably added to the movie because of ZZZQ.

In "Eternals", there was a scene where the black man cried and confessed in front of the Shimahiro Memorial. Little Gilbert didn't want to see it a second time.

I also don’t want to see Wakanda, which has high technology, fighting in the way of primitive tribal warfare in "Black Panther 2". It is too eye-catching and I can’t bear to watch it.

I don’t want to see low-quality special effects become popular and movies start to be filled with all kinds of ZZ elements.

So his job at Marvel is the same as that at Disney and Warner, which is to brainwash these executives so that they won’t listen to the nonsense of certain capitals and think that ZZZQ is the way to make money.

As for whether doing so would undermine the goal of certain elite capital groups to divide the lower classes of society, Gilbert Jr. doesn't care.

After being reborn, why should he endure this shit?
A real man is born in this world, and he has his own ways to do and his own ways not to do. In this life, if he has the ability to say no, no one can force him to say yes.

The filming of "Iron Man" went exceptionally smoothly, so Gilbert Jr. returned to Australia with peace of mind.

After Tom Cruise was ready, he went to Australia soon after, and the filming of "The Last of Us" officially started.

Compared to Marvel's first movie, "The Last of Us", the third collaboration between Gilbert Jr. and Tom Cruise, is undoubtedly very attractive.

On the day the crew started filming, not only the media from Australia and New Zealand, but also many Hollywood media sent reporters to Australia to follow the crew's filming.

Preliminary publicity is necessary. This is still the basis of originality, and there must be good enough publicity and promotion.

So on the first day of filming, the crew allowed the media to watch. The scene to be filmed was not difficult, just a very simple scene.

Having worked with big directors like Tom Hanks and Spielberg, Dakota Fanning doesn't seem so nervous about working with Gilbert Jr. and Tom Cruise again this time.

The reporters looked at Dakota Fanning who showed no fear and couldn't help but praise her: "A future star, this little girl will become something great in the future."

"Yes, at such a young age, he has already worked with directors like Spielberg and Gilbert Jr. It's incredible."

"But I heard that she doesn't have a big part. The lead actor is another little actress from Ireland."

"That was good luck. I heard some inside information. This actress named Saoirse Ronan is a genius. She beat Hermione in the audition."

"Which Hermione?"

"Which other Hermione could it be? The one from Harry Potter, Emma Watson."

"Oh, then this Saoirse Ronan is really amazing."

"But unfortunately, there was no scene with Saoirse Ronan today, so we didn't get to see it."

After the first day of filming, the crew will adopt a closed filming method, and it will be impossible for reporters to interview them.

Not to mention the fans, even veteran Hollywood entertainment reporters who have been working in the industry for many years are very curious about what kind of story Gilbert Jr. will tell this time.
