In addition, Gilbert Jr. also frequently appeared with the main creators.

For example, on the eve of the Golden Globe Awards, Gilbert and DiCaprio watched together the game in which his team, the Thunder, challenged the Lakers at the Staples Center.

The game was broadcast live across the United States, with the live camera frequently focusing on Gilbert and DiCaprio, who were sitting on the sidelines in fashionable attire.

Although there is never a shortage of stars on the sidelines of the Staples Center, there was Natalie Portman and her boyfriend Benjamin Millepied.

There was also Taylor Swift and her new boyfriend, a rapper whom Gilbert Jr. didn't know.

Coincidentally, these two people knew little Gilbert.

"I saw the trailer for your new movie. It's pretty good."

Natalie Portman came over and said to Gilbert Jr.: "Why didn't you ask me to be in this movie?"

Gilbert pointed at Leo and said, "Leo and Kate both get paid a lot. I can't spare the budget to hire you."

"It's okay, don't forget to vote for me during award season."

Natalie Portman stared into Gilbert's eyes and said, "I don't think your women are planning to compete for the Oscar for Best Actress recently, are they?"

Little Gilbert nodded, and the two chatted for a while, and then Natalie Portman returned to her seat.

Little Leo came over and said, "What a pity. This woman seems very ambitious. Why didn't you take her down? It would be interesting to see Sally fight her."

Little Gilbert was helpless: "You are the only one who likes to watch the fun. They are about to get engaged, so don't make trouble."

Charlize Theron doesn't like Natalie Portman. She thinks this woman is too thoughtful and does everything for her own purposes.

However, Gilbert Jr. did not have much contact with Natalie Portman, and she did not like to get close to him.

Taylor Swift didn't come over, maybe because she was embarrassed. She had previously threatened not to find a boyfriend, but she found another one, so she didn't feel comfortable facing Gilbert.

The game seemed uneventful, as the Thunder drafted Stephen Curry in the summer in accordance with Gilbert's idea.

Looking at this lineup again in four or five years, it is simply the Big Three, and it is a Big Three lineup that they have cultivated themselves.

But unfortunately, these three giants are still growing, and except for Kevin Durant, the fighting strength of the others is not very good.

The opponents were the defending champion Lakers. In the end, thanks to the outstanding performance of Kobe and Gasol, the Thunder lost regretfully.

However, the purpose of the publicity was achieved, and Gilbert did not attach much importance to the team's performance. He is a team owner who pursues long-termism. Since he knows the potential of these people, he will naturally not rush to produce results.

Think about it, it took a lot of waiting for James to make a decision, and then he was taught a lesson by the Mavericks in the first year, and was sniped by the Thunder's young team in the second year. This picture is a bit beautiful.

There are still many outstanding players behind them who can keep the Thunder strong for many years. Unless James joins, the Thunder will be his biggest opponent on the road to winning the championship.

Could it be that James couldn't win a single championship? Gilbert suddenly felt that his life was not going as he wished.

On the evening of January 1, the American Film and Television Golden Globe Awards ceremony officially began.

"Knives Out" was nominated for Best Picture, Musical or Comedy, Tom Cruise was nominated for Best Actor, Musical or Comedy, as well as Best Director and Best Screenplay.

With four nominations, Knives Out only won the Best Screenplay award.

The Best Film in the Musical or Comedy category went to The Hangover, which is a really good movie.

As for the Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy, it was unexpectedly Robert Downey Jr. who won for his collaboration with Guy Ritchie in Sherlock. The Best Director award went to James Cameron for his outstanding performance in Avatar.

So in the end I only won the Best Screenplay award, which wasn't a complete loss.

Gilbert Jr. came to attend the Golden Globe Awards just to join in the fun and promote his new movie.

After the Golden Globe Awards, the promotion of Inception entered the fast lane. On the eve of the Super Bowl, Gilbert Jr. completed most of the post-production of the film, and only the soundtrack was left to be added.

During the Super Bowl, the film released a 30-second trailer as usual. At the same time, Gilbert Jr. also edited a 1:30-second trailer and posted it online.

He played a little trick with the editing, making some changes to the timing and shaking of the spinning top at the end of the film, which was different in each regional version.

For example, in the version that will be released in Europe, the gyroscope spins 0.3 seconds longer than the version that will be released in North America.

This trick is mainly to let fans do a comparative study and draw their own conclusions. In the end, in order to prove that their theory is correct, many fans will definitely watch the movie twice or three times.

It's a little editing trick, but it's effective.

In addition, Inception has also started a small-scale preview. Although the director is Gilbert Jr., the theaters also have high expectations for his film.

But for a movie like "Inception", holding a preview and spreading word of mouth is a good approach.

Before "Source Code" was released on March 3, "Inception" held two rounds of previews and gained quite good reputation.

The media and senior movie fans who participated in the preview generally gave positive reviews. Popular film critic Peter said:

“Inception is a different kind of science fiction film, it’s more about exploring emotions and the subconscious.

Through the complex emotions between Cobb and his wife, the film shows the influence of the subconscious on individual behavior, as well as people's deep yearning and struggle for a perfect world.

Cobb's struggle and return in his dreams is not only a pursuit of personal redemption, but also a profound touch to the audience's hearts.

This in-depth exploration of emotions and subconsciousness makes the film not just a science fiction film, but also has a deeper philosophical meaning. "

Variety magazine said: "With its unique narrative techniques and visual effects, Inception presents the audience with a world full of suspense and surprise.

The multiple dreams in the movie are cleverly designed and interconnected, making the audience feel as if they are in a maze where they cannot distinguish between reality and dreams.

The actors' superb performances also add a lot to the film. Through delicate emotional expression, they vividly show the inner world of the characters.

This film not only allows the audience to enjoy a visual and auditory feast during the viewing process, but also triggers the audience's deep thinking about the relationship between reality and dreams, truth and illusion. "

Kenneth Turan, a former well-known hater and now a well-known fan, said: "Inception has won wide acclaim from the audience at the preview for its profound theme and excellent production.

The film shows the deepest fears and desires of human beings through the adventures and challenges of the protagonists in their dreams.

At the same time, the visual effects in the movie are also breathtaking. The design of the dream scenes is both weird and mysterious, full of surprise and imagination.

This dual impact of vision and emotion makes the film a rare artistic masterpiece.”

Both rounds of previews received extremely high praise, and the audience became more and more looking forward to the film.

However, before this movie is released to the public, another movie by Cantaloupe Studios, Source Code, is about to be released. (End of this chapter)
