Chapter 780: The Argument Against Little Gilbert

With one huge project after another, only the well-tested Gilbert team can shoulder such a heavy responsibility.

Considering that the members of Gilbert Jr.'s team are elite talents in the industry, they naturally have a net worth that matches their status.

The Hollywood Reporter did a statistics and found that the salary of an ordinary stagehand in Gilbert Jr.'s crew was more than 20 percent higher than that of the same position in other crews.

More importantly, because Gilbert Jr. never fails in making movies, team members usually get a hefty bonus from each project.

These bonuses are more than the salary, so although many members have been poached by other crews over the years, the core of Gilbert Jr.'s team has been retained.

It is because of the reliable team members that Gilbert Jr. can produce a big production almost every year without any problems.

With the signing of the memorandum, the proportion of Hollywood imported films began to increase in the Chinese market, and some Hollywood blockbusters have even considered holding their premieres in China.

There are enthusiastic movie fans there, and Hollywood A-list stars such as Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Cruise are quite popular there.

Seemingly sensing the opportunities in this collision and exchange of film culture, a documentary production team there wants to conduct in-depth interviews on the Hollywood front lines to understand the working methods of Hollywood studios.

With the introduction of the retired old Tian and the help of young Gilbert, he came to Hollywood to shoot.

The name of the documentary is "The Magic Behind Hollywood Myths", and the first stop is Cantaloupe Studios and Disney.

The documentary director is called Xia Yu. Don't get me wrong, he has nothing to do with the actor Xia Yu and they don't look alike.

Xia Yu first visited little Gilbert, who gave him some advice.

"Mr. Xia, I wonder where you plan to start this time?"

Xia Yu replied: "We plan to interview Hollywood directors, producers, and screenwriters. If possible, it would be even better to interview a big director like you."

Gilbert Jr. shook his finger and said, “This is not right. Documentaries made in this way only scratch the surface and do not really touch the core of Hollywood.

You should interview more people behind the scenes, such as photographers, lighting, set designers, stunt directors and other industry professionals.

Then go to a Hollywood movie set to see how a film crew operates.

In this way, the documentary filmed will appear authentic and believable.”

Xia Yu was overjoyed: "Thank you for your suggestion, we will definitely do it according to your suggestion."

After getting advice from Gilbert Jr., the documentary team went behind the scenes and interviewed Hollywood staff.

People including Gilbert Jr.'s director of photography John Schwartzman and art director Selina Heffey were interviewed.

This is a novel perspective, because people from the other side of the strait usually focus on Hollywood's big directors and star actors, and rarely pay attention to the behind-the-scenes people who actually make up Hollywood.

During the documentary interview, Gilbert Jr. once again emphasized to the documentary production team: "If you interview Spielberg or Ridley Scott, you won't get much.

You have to go behind the scenes and interview those behind the scenes to understand why Hollywood is truly popular around the world. "Thanks to Gilbert Jr.'s green light, the documentary team had unimpeded access to Disney, except for the core departments, and they visited and filmed everything else.

Of course, this kind of thing would definitely cause some trouble for little Gilbert. Soon the media started to hype that little Gilbert had started to spy on the other side again.

The Sacramento Bee, a local media in California, heavily criticized Gilbert Jr., saying that he sold out the interests of North America and suggested that Fox investigate Gilbert Jr.

Considering that California is the territory of the Blues California Gang, Gilbert Jr. has recently been frequently testing the power of the California Gang and formed an alliance with Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Those who can receive elite education may be playboys or criminals, but they are definitely not fools. The California Gang immediately knew what little Gilbert wanted to do.

Simply put, Gilbert Jr. hopes to create another California Gang to replace the current California Gang.

Now is the second year that the black donkey has entered Washington. His power is stable and his approval rating is not low. But here in North America, the relationship between the states and the federal government also gave Gilbert Jr. an opportunity to take advantage of.

Black Donkey can get to power, of course, it is inseparable from the support of the California gang, you know, California has the most electoral votes. Without the support of the California gang, Black Donkey can't go to Washington.

In addition, Black Donkey has the support of the medical capital group, so he initiated medical reform after taking office. It seems to be a good thing, but in fact it enriches the medical capital groups.

Because the medical center project jointly developed by Gilbert Jr. and Steve Jobs did not share profits with medical capital groups, conflicts began to accumulate between the two sides.

In recent years, Gilbert Jr. has been integrating the power of local media in California for his own use, but California itself is where global media groups are concentrated, and it is not easy to control it.

The Sacramento Bee is an influential media outlet controlled by the California Gang. The accusations made against Gilbert Jr. by such a media outlet are still very damaging.

But one advantage the Blue Army has over the Red Army is that the Blue Army is the main force in promoting globalization, and other Hollywood companies have also had a lot of exchanges with the other side in recent years.

Gilbert Jr. quickly took control of his own media and began to list his contributions to the film and cultural exchanges between China and the United States over the years.

The Los Angeles Business Journal said: "In the 1990s, it was still a desert of film culture. But Gilbert Jr. had a far-sighted vision and began to lay out plans as early as the 1990s, cultivating a large number of loyal Hollywood fans.

Now that his work is about to bear fruit, Gilbert Jr. has to bear the label of a traitor. This is unfair to a man who contributed to the globalization of Hollywood."

Variety magazine said: "After entering the 21st century, we can see that the market on the other side of the strait is developing rapidly.

Last year, two movies made more than $100 million in the mainland market. This has become an indispensable market for Hollywood.”

The San Francisco Chronicle criticized those who did not make progress: "If you are worried that the other party's film technology will surpass yours, why do you wait there? Why not make progress?
You know, the reason why Hollywood is popular all over the world is not because of conservatism, but because of freedom, tolerance and openness. "

A large number of media outlets supported Gilbert Jr., and soon the rest of the media also joined the battlefield, with supporters, neutrals, and opponents arguing fiercely.

Some radical media even suggested revoking Gilbert's citizenship and deporting him.

This was a big deal, with media from all over the world getting involved. You know, Gilbert Jr.'s current status has already become a business card of Hollywood and North American pop culture.

The final result of such a business card was deportation, which was undoubtedly a major earthquake. (End of this chapter)
