Another thing worth mentioning is that Gilbert Jr. met many Chinese actors, especially actresses, at the Shanghai Film Festival.

Apart from old acquaintances Bingbing Li and international star Zhang Ziyi, the most enthusiastic one is Bingbing Fan.

To be honest, Bingbing Fan, a plump, well-proportioned beauty, is actually quite in line with Gilbert's taste. But Gilbert is not picky, after all, Bingbing Fan is a veteran.

She is a woman with great ambitions, and most people cannot control her. Little Gilbert is not an ordinary person, but he maintained basic courtesy towards Bingbing Fan.

It might have been possible a few years earlier, but after all, there were too many women in the family, and little Gilbert didn't want to bring any random people home.

Although Naomi Watts and the others won't say anything, they still have some resentment in their hearts.

As he grew older and gained more experience, and given that little Gilbert had lived to be over eighty years old in his previous life, he began to pay more attention to his family.

But it is not good news for women outside, because not being able to climb into little Gilbert's bed means fewer opportunities.

Who would have thought that the last woman was Song Hye Kyo. Bae Suzy was also one, but she was too young and Gilbert didn't touch her at all.

Another interesting thing is that Gilbert Jr. opened a Weibo account, making him the first foreign celebrity to open a Chinese social media account.

Weibo made a big publicity, announcing the arrival of Gilbert Jr. on Weibo. Soon, Gilbert Jr.'s Weibo followers skyrocketed, and soon exceeded five million.

More importantly, those Chinese-language celebrities who have Weibo accounts found opportunities one by one and followed Gilbert Jr.'s Weibo.

The first thing Gilbert Jr. posted on Weibo was a photo of him, Scarlett Johansson and Robert Downey Jr. at the Oriental Pearl Tower, followed by a bunch of compliments from people below.

At a glance, Huang Xiaoming, Chen Kunchao, Deng and others are all following little Gilbert, as well as the new generation of young actresses such as Yang Mi, Yifei Liu, Shu Chang and others.

Shu Chang's explanation is understandable, after all, she has acted in Hollywood movies and is acquainted with little Gilbert. The others are more or less trying to curry favor with him.

Especially Yang Mi, although she hasn't yet become a master, the Weibo posts she posted already show how much she wants to meet little Gilbert.

What surprised Yang Mi the most was that little Gilbert actually followed her back.

Besides Bingbing and Li Shuchang, she is the third Chinese actress that Little Gilbert has followed. This surprised Yang Mi. Does director Little Gilbert think highly of her?
What Yang Mi didn't know was that she was the idol of Gilbert Jr. in his previous life. Gilbert Jr. was very obsessed with Yang Mi's body for a while, and was commonly known as a body fan.

This is the same principle as Song Hye Kyo. The buddies who used to drink and brag together said that if you want a wife, look for Song Hye Kyo, and if you want a lover, look for Yang Mi.

However, it is obvious that the current Yang Mi still needs to practice, and is far from reaching the level she reached later.

Giving a follow back is considered to fulfill this fantasy of crossing the timeline.

Although little Gilbert's status is completely different from that of his previous life, he no longer has the same idea as before. After all, he has seen so many beauties that he has become numb to them.

However, this return did bring some help to Yang Mi, and she got several roles she was striving for.

The quality of these films is hard to describe. As Yang Mi's acting skills deteriorate, her taste in selecting films also deteriorates.

In addition to the publicity, Gilbert Jr. also spent a happy weekend with his family in Beijing, especially his son and daughter.

Although the situation in North America was relatively stable, Gilbert Jr. was still worried about their safety and did not take them back to North America.

Old Gilbert is now living a very carefree life. He is over 80 years old, but he has found a girlfriend who is over 40 years old. I have to sigh at the charm of the old man. Of course, it is also possible that this Beijing mature woman is mentally ill. In any case, it is probably not love.

Little Gilbert didn't interfere much in the old man's life. Apart from liking women, the old man had basically no other bad habits.

Besides, who doesn’t like women? Chinese people like them too.

On the last day, Gilbert Jr. chatted with his old friend Lao Tian and the chairman of China Film Corporation, mainly discussing some of the problems faced by China's film market-oriented reforms as they enter deep waters.

While Gilbert was attending the Shanghai International Film Festival, a seminar was also held in Beijing. In addition to official representatives, the participants were mainly film company owners, theater company owners, and directors.

The reason why this seminar was held was actually because of little Gilbert.

The box office of his movies is too dazzling. It is not the only one that counts. The main reason is that there have been two movies with the same level of performance before this, which fully proves the market potential.

So the seminar discussed why Chinese-language films are so vulnerable in the face of competition from their Hollywood counterparts?
The boss of a film company had something to say: "The cinema chain didn't schedule our films, so no one watched our films. Without audiences, how can we get box office revenue?"

Cinema chains also feel aggrieved. A cinema operator from Shanghai complained: "My cinema chains receive new films to be released almost every month.

There were nine domestic films released at the same time as "Avengers", and the key point is that the largest theater in a cinema is only twelve.

Do I have to use up most of my theaters to show these films made by unknown directors and actors? Who will watch them?

I can’t tell the audience, don’t watch The Avengers, that’s unpatriotic, you should support domestic films, right?”

The boss of the film company blushed and then argued: "These are artistic films with quality, culture and style. Shouldn't they be promoted?"

The cinema chain owner was even more dissatisfied: "Are these art films that you mentioned popular among the audience? I remember it was said that we should create works that are popular with the public.

The works of the so-called sixth-generation directors that you invested in are all personal expressions. Have you taken the ideas of the people into consideration at all?
After all, we in the cinema chain have to make a living, and I have to pay salaries to my employees. If your movie doesn’t make money, how can we make a profit?”

The CEOs of several companies that have both film production capabilities and cinema chains remained silent. In fact, these companies are giants in China, and they have invested in many big-budget movies over the years.

The costume blockbusters that were popular in the past few years were invested by these companies. At that time, every big director wanted to make money by shooting costume blockbusters overseas.

But now this trend has passed. With the signing of the new memorandum, Hollywood's aggressive momentum has made these big companies feel overwhelmed.

The higher-ups are determined to allow more Hollywood films to enter the market. Faced with challenges from their Hollywood counterparts, Chinese-language films urgently need to find a way to break through.

After listening to Lao Tian's retelling, little Gilbert expressed his own opinion.

"If you ask me, Old Tian, ​​you don't have to worry at all."

"What do you mean?" Lao Tian asked curiously.

Little Gilbert smiled and said: "Since it is a market-oriented operation, let the market decide. If you don't obey the market, you will be annihilated in the tide of the market sooner or later.

It is foreseeable that the next period will be a golden period of development, and it all depends on how you guide it." (End of this chapter)
