Chapter 581 Family Education Methods

"Ilian, do you want to go to the premiere with me?"

In the Cantaloupe Manor, little Gilbert caught his oldest son playing with his younger siblings and asked.

"Premiere? Is it the premiere of your new movie, Dad?"

Ilian's eyes inherited the color of her mother Naomi Watts, they blink and her eyelashes are very long and beautiful.

"Yes," Little Gilbert asked again, "Do you want to go?"

"Of course I want to go..." Ilian asked, "Should I prepare anything?"

"No need. When the time comes, let your Aunt Xingzi find a tailor to make a little dress for you. You can just go with me and your mother." Little Gilbert said.

Ilian nodded confusedly and began to look forward to the premiere of his father's new movie.

Little Gilbert was busy with work and didn't have much time to educate his children. Fortunately, the housekeeper Xingzi and several other women educated him properly, and Ilian didn't have the usual arrogance and temper of a rich kid.

On that day, it may have been because Ilian had not grown up and his personality had not yet been formed.

On April 20, the little guy celebrated his third birthday. Ilian is very smart and well behaved.

Every guest who came to the house would praise Ilian when they saw him, because Ilian spoke clearly and logically. Some adults couldn't even speak clearly, and they were still not as good as him.

By the way, Ilian also learned Chinese at noon, which was mainly due to little Gilbert, who hired a Chinese teacher for Ilian. Not only him, but all the children had Chinese as an option from the beginning of their studies.

I still remember that this year when Yilian went to kindergarten for the first time, when he went on stage to introduce himself, he introduced himself in Chinese and his Chinese name was Huijun.

The teacher in charge of their class was a Chinese female teacher. When she heard Ilian's pretty good Chinese, she covered her mouth in surprise.

In fact, Ilian can study at home. The quality of tutoring is much better than that of kindergarten. Although this kindergarten specializes in serving the children of wealthy people, celebrities, and big directors in Los Angeles.

The school was introduced by Tom Cruise, and his daughter Suri Cruise also attended this kindergarten.

After all, humans are social animals and it is impossible for them to be away from people for a long time. On the road of growth, we always have some childhood memories, which are very helpful in shaping our outlook on life.

In fact, if possible, little Gilbert would rather send his children to public school and interact with ordinary people.

Unfortunately, public school education in North America is very poor. On the surface, it is to release children's nature and not interfere with their freedom.

But in reality, they just let it go, the teachers don't care at all, and implement happy education. If someone can grow up to be a talent under such an education model, he is really a genius.

If you want to get a good education, you have to go to a private elite school.

But private schools usually have a problem, that is, the trend of comparison. Influenced by this trend, the children who study there are no longer innocent since elementary school.

Malfoy in Harry Potter is a representative of the elite children. It can only be said that there are good and bad things. In the end, Gilbert decided to send his children to elite schools.

Of course, little Gilbert also fully respects the children's opinions.

Once, Ilian pointed at the president giving a speech on TV and said that he wanted to be president when he grew up, which stunned little Gilbert.

It is good to have ambition. When he was a child, little Gilbert dreamed of becoming an astronaut. In the end, Xizhilang got it, but he still did not become an astronaut.

After Ilian’s birthday, the preview of “Iron Man” officially began.

The market response to Marvel's first comic book adaptation is quite good, and people are generally looking forward to it. The previous trailers all showed good quality. The only worry is that the film might edit all the exciting content into the trailers, and the main film will be a mess.

Of course, since Gilbert Jr. is the producer, fans are still looking forward to this movie. The only question is whether Robert Downey Jr. is a bit inappropriate as the leading actor.

The bad impression of Robert Downey Jr. is still there, and many people may choose to give up watching this movie because of their bad impression of him.

Robert Downey Jr. made active efforts. While cooperating with the promotion of "Iron Man", he admitted his mistakes in various public occasions and said that he had turned over a new leaf.

He also actively participated in charity work, such as providing warmth to the elderly in the community and volunteering at welfare homes, which helped to restore some of his image.

But the most important thing is that the movie must be successful, otherwise all the work done before will be in vain.

The Los Angeles Sconda Theater is where the preview of Iron Man was held. The first preview was attended by theater representatives and media critics.

With the rise of movie rating websites such as IMDB, we have now entered the era of mass film critics.

However, some influential film critics, relying on their previously accumulated reputation, will be able to continue to shine in the new era if the transition goes smoothly.

Of course, there are also popular film critics with greater influence, who are now also invited by film companies.

These people may have been movie fans or something else before, but they were not film critics.

But with the emergence of websites like IMDB, their talents in film reviewing were showcased, and they accumulated a large number of fans.

These highly influential popular film critics were also invited.

Peter is such a film critic. He has accounts on IMDB and blogs, with millions of followers.

His articles "History of Film Development", "Little Gilbert from the Lord of the Rings" and "The Secret of Hollywood's Global Domination" have gained wide recognition and attention.

The article "Looking at Little Gilbert from the Perspective of the Lord of the Rings" has even become a model article for major film-related majors across the United States to study Little Gilbert's films.

Because of his influence, Peter received an invitation to a preview, which was the first time he received an invitation to a movie preview.

This means one thing: he can make a living from this and no longer has to go back to his hometown in the Rust Belt to be a low-paid small town teacher.

It means that he can bring his wife and daughter to Los Angeles where conditions are better and the family can live happily here.

Of course, Peter is very clear about one thing, all of this is due to his fame from writing film reviews on the Internet. He recently planned to publish a book about movies and is contacting publishers.

If we could find Gilbert Jr. to write a preface for this book, I'm sure it would be a big seller and might even become a textbook for USC's film program.

However, the plan of publishing a book is still in the works, so for now I'd better focus on doing my job well.

Peter saw several familiar faces at the Iron Man preview. Kate Landis, a well-known film critic whom he envied, was also there and greeted him.

Peter Landis is a film critic who contributes to the San Francisco Chronicle. He has also joined the Internet and has his own show.

Peter didn't see another film critic, the famous Little Gilbert who blew Roger Ebert.

Hearing that Roger Ebert was in poor health, Gilbert Jr. did not attend today's preview, but went to Chicago to visit his old friend.

So Gilbert Jr. was not present at today's preview, but Marvel coped well and successfully held the preview with the help of Touchstone Pictures.
