Chapter 564 Self-imagination
David Ellison regretted his decision to fight immediately after he made the fight. He called Michael Ovitz and told him about it.

Michael Ovitz slapped his head and said speechlessly: "Can't you restrain yourself?

Now that so many people have seen it, we can no longer back down for the sake of our reputation. This is a difficult situation."

David Ellison also regretted: "I don't know why, but when I saw that hateful face of little Gilbert, I couldn't control myself."

Michael Ovitz thought: "Little Gilbert is taking advantage of this and deliberately luring you into the trap."

His thoughts diverged in an instant: "Maybe Little Gilbert deliberately provoked you so that you would choose to clash with him in the same schedule."

"Why? What's in it for him?" asked David Ellison.

"Little Gilbert is extremely confident and calm when it comes to film affairs. He won't come to you for no reason."

Michael Ovitz speculated: "I think he wants to ..."

"What are you thinking about?"

"I want to take the Transformers project back from you."

David Ellison was surprised: "Why do you say that?"

Michael Ovitz explained: “Hasbro was close to reaching a deal with Cantaloupe Studios, right down to the last step.

But your sudden appearance and taking away the project must have upset little Gilbert."

"So he wants to use the original movie "The Last of Us" to challenge "Transformers". If the box office of "Transformers" does not meet expectations, Hasbro will take back the copyright and find a more suitable partner?"

David Ellison completed the whole idea, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. It was possible that little Gilbert really thought this way.

"So what do we do?" asked David Ellison.

"At this point, face is a small matter, David." Michael Ovitz calmly persuaded: "The Last of Us is just an ordinary project for Gilbert Jr., and screwing up will not affect his status.

But you can’t. If Transformers fails again, it will be hard to explain to Mr. Ellison.”

David Ellison remembered that he had suffered the biggest losses in the previous Ponzi scheme of the Napoleon project, and his father was very dissatisfied with him.

In addition, several films produced in succession by Sky Studios have not been successful. If the huge investment "Transformers" is made, coupled with Megan Ellison's instigation, his father will definitely withdraw his support for him.

After weighing the pros and cons in his heart, David Ellison finally won over face without much difficulty, and said to Michael Ovitz:

"We will wait for The Last of Us to announce its release date before we do so to avoid a conflict with it."

As long as the release date is not announced, there is still room for recovery. As for the face lost in the confrontation in the VIP room, as long as the movie can be successful, everything can be recovered.

"Wise decision, David." Michael Ovitz was very satisfied that David Ellison had finally matured and did not fall for Gilbert Jr.'s trick.

Little Gilbert is still planning how to deal with the Transformers, but he doesn't know that he has already scared many people over the years.

Michael Ovitz and David Ellison automatically imagined that the verbal altercation was a trap set by him.

I have to say that self-imagination is the most terrifying.

However, Gilbert Jr. was unaware of all this, and he was ready to fight with all his strength. The more this happened, the more David Ellison felt that it was a trap, so he naturally would not fall into it.

This incident is just an episode. The protagonist today is undoubtedly "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire".

After the red carpet ceremony, the much-anticipated "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" officially kicked off with the film screening. This time the story mainly focuses on Harry Potter's participation in the Triwizard Tournament, and the film is as long as two and a half hours.

But Gilbert Jr. feels that the film's rhythm is very tight and the information density is very high.

At the same time, the magic special effects are more gorgeous, and the pictures are either exquisite, thrilling, or suspenseful, reaching the usual standards of the series.

In addition to guests and media reporters, those who can come to the premiere are avid fans of the "Harry Potter" film series, so the film will be welcomed even if its quality is slightly lower.

But Mike Newey did not rest on his laurels. As the new director taking over the series, he had to prove himself with achievements.

It turns out that he did it. The quality of "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" is quite good and it is a movie worth going to the cinema to watch.

When the movie ended and director Mike Newey's name appeared on the screen, the audience burst into thunderous applause.

Mike Newey was a little excited. He knew that the applause was not actually for him, but he was still happy.

Gilbert Jr. went to Mike Newey and said, "Mike, you did a great job, the film is great."

"Thank you, thank you for the compliment." Mike Newey did not dare to be arrogant. He knew that the younger director in front of him had a say in the entire "Harry Potter" project.

Little Gilbert congratulated the Gryffindor trio again: "The acting has improved a lot, much better than the last film."

Hailey touched his head sheepishly and said, "We have signed up for acting classes, and there are many teachers in the crew. We will also ask them how to act."

Good, Gilbert Jr. praised: "If you don't understand, ask. If you want to improve, you must learn. This is the only way for you to gain a firm foothold in Hollywood."

Little Gilbert looked at Rupert, who played Ron Weasley, and said, "Rupert, what's wrong with you? Why are you so fat?"

Rupert was called by Little Gilbert and explained with some fear: "Well, it may be because I ate too much ice cream and cream. Sorry, Director Little Gilbert."

"I hope you understand that I don't want to see a fat Ron Weasley." Little Gilbert said sternly: "I will let your agent and guardian supervise you. You must lose weight before the next work."

"Yes, I understand." Rupert was dejected. No one would be happy if being scolded.

He was a teenager entering puberty, and if his family said that to him, he would probably talk back. But when little Gilbert said that to him, he basically didn't dare to talk back, because he knew what the man in front of him represented.

To put it bluntly, even if little Gilbert kicked him out on the spot, no one else would dare to have any objection.

Little Gilbert looked at Emma Watson again. Emma Watson was waiting for Little Gilbert to praise her, but she didn't expect to be scolded by him.

"I usually tell you to take acting classes and study hard." Little Gilbert scolded, "Look at your terrible performance in the film. Compared to Haley and Rupert, what kind of person are you playing?"

"Brother, I..."

Emma Watson was interrupted by Gilbert Jr. before she finished her words: "In the workplace, it's called job title."

"Yes, Director Gilbert, I... I will try harder next time." Emma Watson didn't dare to defend herself. It was useless to explain at this time.

"It's better this way. Next time I see you perform badly, you won't have to act."

Little Gilbert gave a sweet reward after hitting him with a stick: "With such poor acting skills, how can you take on important roles in the future?"

Emma Watson was delighted. As expected, I am director Gilbert's favorite child actor. How can you compete with me?

The premiere ended successfully. Gilbert Jr. did not stay long and returned to the "The Last of Us" crew in Australia early the next morning.
