Chapter 694 Preview
Although Gilbert Jr. was busy arguing with some media and some people, he did not forget his job and was doing post-production on "The Dark Knight".

After a year, Gilbert Jr. returned to the summer season, and the impact it made was undoubtedly huge.

Warner Bros. announced in December that The Dark Knight will be released on May 5, and will be released simultaneously in 2 countries and regions with North America.

Due to time differences, markets in Asia such as China, Japan, and South Korea can see The Dark Knight earlier than North America.

China gave the green light throughout the whole process. Although China did not respond directly to the war of words that occurred at the beginning of this year, it still remembers the kindness of little Gilbert.

It has been decided that during the Olympic Games, little Gilbert will be officially awarded the title of International Friend and presented with a set of state gift porcelain.

So far, only two people have received national gift porcelain, namely Canadian doctor Norman Bethune and German John Rabe.

Little Gilbert will be the third, and there is a reason why he got this set of state gift porcelain.

Obviously, at this critical moment, with all the evil forces at work, Gilbert Jr. was able to stand firmly on the side of justice and fairness, which moved the Chinese people.

At this point, Gilbert Jr.'s title as the Olympic Games' artistic consultant is well-deserved. He also became the number one foreign celebrity on the Chinese list.

In this case, as long as his movie does not contain any extremely illegal images or content, it will basically be given the green light.

Today's Chinese film market is booming, much better than the same period in the past. In 2007, there were movies that broke RMB million, of which only five were Hollywood films, and the rest were Chinese-language films.

Although the annual box office champion is still held by the Hollywood blockbuster "Spider-Man 3" with a box office of 5.42 million, the second place "Assembly" still cut a box office of 5.06 million, becoming the first Chinese-language film to break the 5 million box office.

The fourth-placed "The Warlords" earned 4.21 million RMB, only 3 million RMB less than "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End".

The market is also full of a hundred flowers blooming and a hundred schools of thought contending, from war films to action films to comedy films and romance films, there is everything. Of course, science fiction films are still not very popular for the time being.

Even so, the past year of 2007 still created the best results since the film market-oriented reforms were launched, and also affirmed the achievements of the film market.

The huge success of so many movies has resulted in a crazy influx of hot money.

These days, the financiers in the Chinese film and television industry have no connection with the big Internet companies. Now, it is the hot money from coal bosses and real estate companies that is entering the entertainment industry.

Guo Fan’s partner, Boss Wang, is a coal boss with assets worth tens of billions. Guo Fan tricked Boss Wang into investing and set up his own company.

Of course, he did not disappoint Boss Wang. The cumulative box office of more than 40 million from the two films was enough to make the young Guo Fan a potential director.

Now Guo Fan has come to Hollywood again for further studies, and Boss Wang is looking forward to the day when Guo Fan becomes a master at making phone calls.

That’s right, after “The Dark Knight”, Gilbert Jr. did not let Guo Fan go back, but kept him working at Cantaloupe Studios.

Currently, Guo Fan is serving as an assistant director for another project at Melon Studios. This project is adapted from a novel called "Twilight".

Gilbert Jr. acquired the copyright to this novel very early and finally started production at the beginning of this year.

This year, Cantaloupe Studios will also release "District 4" directed by Christopher Nolan, as well as the action film "Fast & Furious ", all in the summer season.

Compared to several movies last year, these two movies seem to be much less competitive. Although The Dark Knight was directed by Gilbert Jr., this movie does not belong to Cantaloupe Film Studio, but to Warner Pictures.

Warner Bros. is also very interesting. In addition to "The Dark Knight", this year it also released films such as "Four Christmases", "Gran Torino", "10,000 BC", and "The Bucket List".

However, except for "The Dark Knight", the rest are scattered in the spring and autumn schedules and are not very competitive.

The most eye-catching ones are DreamWorks, Lucasfilm and Paramount Pictures. Spielberg has made enough art films and is ready to return to the summer season.

He brings a sequel to his classic adventure film, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, which will be released in theaters on May 4.

With the failure of DreamWorks, Spielberg had a great influence on Paramount Pictures. However, the relationship between Spielberg and Universal Pictures, the original partner, broke down when Spielberg founded DreamWorks.

Now that DreamWorks has fallen apart, Spielberg has returned to being a simple film director. He is still one of the most sought-after film directors in Hollywood.

But in this era, he is no longer the most sought-after one. There are already many film directors in Hollywood who have made outstanding achievements, especially his student Gilbert Jr., who is the first commercial film director in Hollywood.

However, Spielberg obviously will not give in to old age. He is returning to the summer season with the sequel to this classic series just to see how much money he has left in his mailbox.

After Sony Columbia Pictures announced the release date of "The Dark Knight", it also announced the release date of "Hancock", which will be released on July 7.

The film changed its male lead, Brad Pitt and Charlize Theron, and I don't know how the effect will be. However, Sony Columbia is still very optimistic about this film and has spent a lot of resources on its promotion.

迪士尼的《纳尼亚传奇2》定在5月16号，皮克斯动画工作室出品的《功夫熊猫》则定档在6月6号。

环球影业的《刺客联盟》以及《妈妈咪呀》分别定档在6月20号和7月18号，米高梅的最新《007之量子危机》同样也定档在7月18号。

"Thor," produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Disney, was released in March. The summer season was too crowded, and this film did not have any well-known stars, so it escaped the summer season.

There is something interesting about the movie "Thor". At the beginning, Kevin Feige and director Kenneth Branagh wanted to choose a first-line male actor.

But after little Gilbert saw them, he rejected them one after another. The reason for his rejection was that these people were too short and did not have a godly feel.

What does God look like? He should be tall and strong, so Gilbert Jr. was not satisfied with these actors.

He did know who the actor who played Thor was, but the problem was that he couldn't find this actor named Chris Haywams at all.

Unexpectedly, actor Sean Bean, who had worked with Gilbert Jr. on "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring", recommended Luke Haywards to Gilbert Jr.

Through Luke Heyworth, Gilbert Jr. successfully found his brother, Chris Heyworth, who was currently working as a miner.

So Luke Haywams was out and his brother Chris Haywams became the lead actor.

Although Chris Haywams has little acting experience, at least he has extensive experience using a hammer, and he is close to the role of Thor.

Gilbert Jr. had the final decision-making power, so although Kevin Feige and Kenneth Branagh, who he chose for the roles, didn't understand, they still followed the rules.
