In fact, in the Marvel system, the director is just a tool. It doesn't make much difference if you change to a first-rate director or a second-rate director, as long as they are not mediocre.

But after all, Gilbert Jr. is a big name and the boss, so his say actually exceeds that of producer Kevin Feige.

In addition, when Gilbert Jr. serves as a director, he usually also serves as a producer, and all the power of the crew is in his hands.

It was very effective. Except for some challenges in the beginning when he first debuted, Gilbert Jr. basically had the crew firmly in his hands and no one could interfere.

This was also the origin of his initial conflict with Michael Ovitz, because although packaging services facilitated directors and film companies, they also eroded the power of directors.

To Gilbert Jr., this was unacceptable.

CAA continued to fight internal battles after Michael Ovitz and Martin Bob left, but it remained strong overall.

The two Toms in Hollywood, as well as Leo, Brad Pitt and other stars are all in CAA, so CAA still maintains its position as a giant in Hollywood agency.

But the biggest company in Hollywood today is undoubtedly Sheena Boone's Super Artist Management Company, which has many big names under its umbrella and is very powerful.

Most importantly, Sheena Boone has an ace up her sleeve, Little Gilbert.

This is a dazzling pearl, just there, attracting countless Hollywood stars. Sheena Boone used it to expand the company, and it was incredibly successful.

And sometimes this attraction can also do other things and be used to achieve certain goals.

"Ms. McAdams, we meet again."

Sheena Boone and Rachel McAdams meet at a Los Angeles cafe.

"What do you think about what I said last time?"

Rachel McAdams hesitated: "Can he come see me in person?"

"Don't be silly. How could a big shot like him come to see you for something like this? But what I say is equally valid. You can switch to my place anytime."

Sheena Boone paused and continued to take out her chips: “I have another good news for you, there is a very important role in the next movie.

This is a big production, and you don’t get this opportunity every day.”

Rachel McAdams gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I promise you."

"A wise choice." Sheena Boone took her small bag and left a message: "I will contact you again."

On the way back, Sheena Boone called Gilbert Jr.: "Done."

"What did she say?"

"Have you agreed to that role?"

"As long as she can provide information, she can be given a chance."

After hanging up the phone, Gilbert Jr. looked at the release date list and fell into deep thought.

On the third weekend of the release of The Avengers, John Carter, produced by Sky Studios, will be released. This time it is an advance release, originally scheduled for the end of June.

Due to the power of "Avengers", the schedule in early June was a bit empty, so Sky Studios moved "John Carter" to this schedule.

David Ellison may think that since The Avengers is already in its third week, it shouldn't be that powerful. This is not a challenge for him, but a normal business behavior.

But Gilbert Jr. had been keeping a close eye on David Ellison's actions. He set a trap for Sky Studios with three super bad movies, with the aim of driving David Ellison out of Hollywood without bloodshed.

At this critical moment, although the previous life proved that "John Carter" was indeed a bad movie, little Gilbert was still worried.

The reason is simple, because the film has changed. The male and female protagonists have been replaced, Ryan Reynolds and Rachel McAdams have become the male and female protagonists, and the director has also become J.J. Emrams.

J.J. Emrams directed Mission: Impossible 3, which was not a success, but the Star Trek reboot he directed later achieved good results.

Several films and TV series he produced as a screenwriter and producer were good and were recognized by the audience.

This is a very thoughtful screenwriter and director who specializes in science fiction. With such a person directing John Carter, Gilbert Jr. is really worried that there is a slight chance that he will succeed.

Therefore, Sheena Boone began to pay attention and make some arrangements when necessary so that they could be used at the critical moment.

Sheena Boone was very helpful and actually contacted Rachel McAdams. However, Gilbert Jr. also reminded Sheena Boone to be careful of this being a counter-espionage plot by the other side.

Finally, after as many as ten secret meetings, Sheena Boone confirmed that Rachel McAdams was reliable.

The reason is simple. Rachel McAdams made some efforts to get the role in "John Carter". David Ellison and Gilbert both like beautiful women.

However, perhaps due to the great pressure, David Ellison developed a more perverted way of playing.

Rachel McAdams was originally a playful person and even attended nude parties. Leo once described her figure and her debauchery to Gilbert.

But even such a dissolute woman could not stand David Ellison's torture.

At this time, Sheena Boone tried to seduce Rachel McAdams a little more, and she really took the bait. Most importantly, Gilbert's faction had never had any major scandals.

In other words, everyone is respected equally here.

After making up her mind, Rachel McAdams became a spy and passed information to Sheena Boone. The latest information is that David Ellison and J.J. Emrams have a big conflict.
The reason was that J.J. Emrams insisted on the version he edited, but David Ellison obviously felt it was not safe, so he found another senior editor to edit a version.

David Ellison is an investor, and what he says is what counts.

However, the condition that J.J. Emrams agreed to direct was that he would also serve as producer and get the final editing rights. David Ellison's behavior offended J.J. Emrams.

In addition, J.J. Emrams thought his version was good enough and did not need another editor. So the conflict arose, and until the release of "Avengers", Sky Studios was still undecided about which version to release.

This is good news for Gilbert Jr.

Regardless of the quality of the film, the internal conflicts of Sky Studios are enough to have a devastating impact on a film. And what Gilbert Jr. has to do next is to add fuel to the fire and stimulate J.J. Emrams.

Just such an opportunity happened. After finishing his promotional tour in Asia, Gilbert Jr. returned to North America and attended a party hosted by the Directors Guild.

J.J. Emrams also showed up at the party.

"Congratulations, Little Gilbert, The Avengers has grossed over $1 billion worldwide."

"thanks, thanks……"

Little Gilbert held up his glass and continued to socialize, but his eyes were directed towards J.J. Emrams.

He asked Christopher Nolan to do him a favor and act in a play together.

"Chris, how's your production of Lucy going?"

Gilbert Jr. and Christopher Nolan were standing at the bar not far from J.J. Emrams, raising their voices slightly as if J.J. Emrams could hear them.

According to what Tom Cruise said and the information from Rachel McAdams, J.J. Emrams is a very strong-willed person, the kind who cannot tolerate any grain of sand in his eyes.

As long as he hears it, he will definitely react. This is what Little Gilbert wants to achieve. (End of this chapter)
