Chapter 725 Final Examination
Gilbert Jr. knew nothing about the discussions, but his ally Larry Fink did reveal some of them.

"If that day really comes, what will you do?" asked Larry Fink.

Gilbert Jr. did not give a direct answer, but laughed and said, "Mr. Fink, BlackRock made a lot of money in the financial crisis, didn't it?"

Larry Fink was very proud: "Not bad, at least my personal wealth has doubled."

"The obvious change in wealth must have attracted the attention of your people. You should be careful."

"Really?" Larry Fink said nonchalantly, "Now, they don't have the right to replace me at will. If I am replaced, all these assets will be lost.

But you are in danger. I heard that the Rockefeller family suggested someone to kill you."

"Really? They finally considered killing me." Little Gilbert laughed instead of getting angry when he heard the news: "That's great, I can also find someone to kill them."

Larry Fink was stunned: "Are you not afraid of death?"

"Afraid of death? Of course I am afraid of death. But I know that the more I avoid it, the more I will die."

Today's North American upper class still has some faith and abides by the unspoken rules that everyone agrees on. But the world will change dramatically in the next decade or so, and it will be hard to say what will happen then.

Little Gilbert is a selfish man, his desire for control and possession is extremely strong. Whether it is women, wealth, or status, he longs to possess.

And he has the power to possess it and the power to protect it.

He would share sometimes, but that was his initiative to share, not others snatching it away, so the nature is different.

There is a line that goes: What I give you is yours. If I don't give it to you, you can't take it away.

These things will probably continue for a long time. Anyway, little Gilbert has a lot of health and won't die for a while. When the sky changes, he will be resurrected with full health.

Since there was no filming going on, Gilbert Jr. held a party at the Cantaloupe Manor.

Invite your own film team, as well as the think tanks and traders who made great contributions during the financial crisis to gather here.

Of course, Guo Fan was also among the invited guests. He has learned and changed a lot in the past year or so. He has become fluent in English and his professional level has improved rapidly.

He returned to China in the summer and shared his experience of studying and living in Hollywood at a young directors forum.

There is no doubt that Guo Fan was envied.

These days, the experience of studying abroad is a trademark. When big companies recruit people, they will definitely give them priority if they see that you have studied abroad.

A diploma from a fake university like Gallatin University can fool the interviewer and help you find a well-paid job.

What's more, Guo Fan didn't go to some fake crew, but to the crew of the famous director Gilbert Jr., and served as the deputy director.

This is equivalent to when you go abroad to study, your tutor is not some unknown professor, but someone of Einstein's level.

Although this analogy may not be entirely correct, the meaning is similar.

Liu Ji was very proud, just like Zhang Weiping in the past, he had a national teacher Zhang in his hand, and he made all kinds of promises. Now Liu Ji has Guo Fan, and when Guo Fan returns after completing his studies, their company will be invincible.

Guo Fan had also attended similar gatherings, such as the wrap party.

In addition, I was familiar with the crew members and didn’t feel any restraint, so I felt very comfortable.

However, this open atmosphere still made Guo Fan somewhat unacceptable, such as the black girl who was pestering him at the moment. This black girl was a small leader of the crew, who loved to laugh and had a mouthful of big white teeth that were particularly conspicuous.

If you ignore her skin color, she can be considered a beautiful woman with a curvy figure.

She especially wanted to taste the flavor of Asian men, so she kept pestering Guo Fan.

Of course Guo Fan was not happy about it, so he kept declining.

At this party, the black girl found every opportunity to harass Guo Fan, and the others also joined in the fun, causing Guo Fan to become very annoyed.

But at this moment, the savior appeared.

"What are you doing?" Gilbert Jr. raised his glass, with Cameron Diaz beside him. "Director, Sarri is pursuing Guo." Someone said.

Little Gilbert raised his eyebrows and said to Sarri, "Sarri, Guo is already married. Chinese people are more traditional. Don't seduce him!"

The people around laughed. Sarri was not shy and said openly: "What a pity. I also want to taste the taste of Asian men. I heard that they are very small."

"You know all this? Then can you tolerate them?"

"Of course he can. Sarri is a master."

There was nothing wrong with making some dirty jokes, so little Gilbert motioned for Guo Fan to come out and say something to him.

The two found a corner to chat, and Little Gilbert asked Guo Fan: "How is your study going over the past year?"

Guo Fan replied: "I have gained a lot of insights and I have made great progress. I have filled three notebooks with notes. I hope I can make full use of them after I return."

"Very good," Little Gilbert nodded, "I want to give you a task."

"Please tell me, I will definitely complete it." Guo Fan promised.

"Don't agree so quickly," Gilbert Jr. waved his hand, and Cameron Diaz came over immediately and handed him a notebook.

"Look, this is a script."

Guo Fan took it and looked at it. The title on the cover was "Source Code", which was the name of a movie project.

"This is?"

"Yes, I want you to direct this film as your final exam. You still have more than a year, and I hope to see this film in theaters in 2010."

Guo Fan was terrified: "Are you really going to give this project to me? Can I do it?"

"As a director who is going to create a new era, you still lack some vigor." Little Gilbert signaled Guo Fan not to be nervous: "It's just a low-budget science fiction film with an investment of tens of millions of dollars.

You've always wanted to make a science fiction film, right? Here's your chance."

Guo Fan went out with the script, but it was obvious that he felt the pressure.

Cameron Diaz looked at Guo Fan's back and asked Gilbert, "Honey, is this possible? Should we consider it again?"

"What's there to consider? It's just tens of millions of dollars, just treat it as a game. And I believe in Guo, he has the ability to complete this project." Gilbert Jr. said.

"I'm not questioning your decision. I'm saying that letting a Chinese be the director will cause problems," Cameron Diaz expressed her concerns.

"You mean other people will question it?" Gilbert Jr. said without any worries: "This is also one of the challenges. If he wants to take on more important tasks in the future, this is something he must go through."

Since we have brought Guo Fan from China, we cannot let him go back in a confused state. "Source Code" is a good project for training.

With this qualification, it will be much easier for him to convince investors when he returns.

Little Gilbert added: "Besides, you are watching over this. I guarantee you won't lose money."

Cameron Diaz rolled her eyes: "Well, if you really lose money then, you can't blame me."

"Absolutely not..."

How to make the fallen Hollywood work hard again is to recreate a strong opponent. In a way, this is also a wolf-raising plan for Gilbert Jr.

He made this decision not based on his identity in his previous life, but on a strategic level.

Even if he really flees to the other side in the future, he still needs to be able to exert influence.

It is a wonderful process for the Chinese-language film industry to become Little Gilbert's Chinese-language film industry.
