Gilbert Jr. did not participate too much in the publicity and promotion of the film, which was the job of Warner Bros.

For Gilbert Jr., "The Dark Knight Rises" is the first film he has made for an outside company in the true sense, as he is no longer a member of Warner's board of directors.

Work! Although he still shoots movies with a serious attitude and cooperates with the crew in publicity, it is impossible for him to be as dedicated as before.

The reason is simple: most people are very motivated when they work hard for themselves, but when they work hard for others, they lose half of their motivation instantly, because after all, the fruits of their labor belong to others.

Having said that, in order not to damage his own reputation, Gilbert Jr. still took this movie very seriously.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have spent so much effort to adapt the movie, improve the action scenes, and use 80,000 people to shoot a scene for better effects.

Having 80,000 people shoot a scene is a crazy act in the history of film. There are very few films in history that can do such a crazy thing.

Little Gilbert had many nicknames, and Madman was one of them. This scene seemed to prove that the nickname was indeed correct.

After obtaining Dan Rooney's consent, the crew dug many small holes in the stadium and then placed a prepared platform on half of the stadium.

The surface of the platform is like a rugby field, with pre-dug pits on it.

As the filming begins, the explosives placed in the small holes will explode one by one. Then the stuntmen will fall into the pit one by one, and a stuntman holding a football will run the whole way in the pursuit of the explosion.

This scene was extremely shocking when it was filmed live, and 80,000 people on the scene witnessed how Gilbert Jr. filmed it.

When this scene on the stadium was completed, the 80,000 enthusiastic extras left.

Many enthusiastic extras were interviewed by reporters, and a 17-year-old high school boy excitedly expressed his excitement.

“I’m a fan of Gilbert Jr. and grew up watching his films.

This is my first time participating in a film shoot, and seeing this scene makes me very excited. I must go to the cinema to watch this movie and recommend it to others."

A middle-aged man with a beard also accepted the interview: "I was the first person in our local town to go to the cinema to watch Gilbert Jr.'s movie. I still remember the name of the movie, it was called "Final Destination".

I came back and said that Gilbert Jr. would become the best director in the world."

Another female fan was interviewed and said: "Ahhhh, little Gilbert is so handsome and cool, I love him!"

Well, many of these enthusiastic extras are fans of Gilbert Jr.

Many of these fans grew up with Gilbert Jr., so there is no need to question the loyalty of Gilbert Jr.'s fans.

Just like a popular saying on the Internet, Gilbert Jr.'s films accompanied the youth of an entire generation.

The main audiences in the film market are basically teenagers. When these teenagers grow up, they become loyal fans of little Gilbert.

Most importantly, because little Gilbert is still active, he continues to become a memory for generations of teenagers.

Here we are talking about Zoe and Doug's son and daughter. Zoe and Doug have been fans of Gilbert Jr. since they watched his first movie in 1991.

Now twenty years have passed, and their son and daughter are already fifteen or sixteen years old.

Influenced by Zoe and Doug, the two children also fell in love with Gilbert Jr.'s movies.

Although the family was unable to attend the filming in Pittsburgh, they decided to go to the movies together next year after seeing the news on TV.

Not only this family, but all the fans of ULCA have now entered middle age.

Sarathi, Lewis, Murray and others all have their own children, and most of these children have become fans of Gilbert Jr. There are countless examples like this across the United States, where parents influence their children's preferences.

In this regard, veteran film expert Daniel Wallace pointed out that he believed this was related to Gilbert Jr.'s keeping up with the times and leading the trend.

"Looking at the trends and changes in the film market, we can find that Gilbert Jr. always has a good grasp of the market. He knows what the audience likes, and he also knows how to guide the audience.

The best thing that Gilbert Jr. did during his 20 years in the film industry was that he never went against the market.

Whatever the audience likes, that's what's in his movies.

So we found that his films are always full of those elements that we call clichés. For example, about family, responsibility, love and courage. "

Daniel Wallace's summary was recognized. In fact, the secrets about Gilbert Jr.'s films have long been no secret.

The biggest difference between him and other commercial film directors is that other commercial film directors shoot according to the usual routine, and you will always feel bored because it is too cliché.

But Gilbert Jr. is different. He can create something new out of clichés and present a wonderful movie to the audience within the framework of universal values.

For example, The Last of Us is about love, responsibility, and parent-child relationships. If other directors were to shoot it, they would just use the warrior to kill zombies, and finally have a happy reunion between father and daughter.

But how did Gilbert Jr. do it? He let Joel's daughter die at the beginning. And she didn't die at the hands of zombies, but at the gunpoint of soldiers.

Although this scene was criticized by many child protection experts, Moldy also stated that she would never harm children.

But it would be hard for any viewer who saw this scene and saw Joel holding Sarah's body not to be moved.

After that, Gilbert Jr. used the role of Ellie to find Joel again. The two traveled across most of the United States, accompanying each other.

In the end, in the hospital of the Firefly base, Joel went on a killing spree for Ellie.

Considering that Joel lost his daughter, after following Joel and Ellie on their adventure, the audience also understood Joel's feelings of disregarding the safety of all mankind and wanting to rescue Ellie.

Although the subject is simple, Gilbert's photography is not simple.

The commerciality and artistry of the film were guaranteed, and ultimately "The Last of Us" sold $6.9 million worldwide.

For an original film, this result can be said to be quite good.

There are many similar examples, all of which prove that little Gilbert is superior to others.

Case studies on Gilbert Jr.'s films have become courses at his alma mater, the University of Southern California, the film department at New York University, and many other colleges and universities.

Universities as far away as Europe, such as Oxford University, Berlin University, University of Paris I, Beijing Film Academy, Tsinghua University and Peking University, all take his films as the object of research.

Study the film shooting techniques, artistic value, commercial value...

However, no matter how much research is done, one very strange thing is how Gilbert Jr. can maintain his high intensity of creation while ensuring quality and quantity.

Even Spielberg, who is known for his quick shooting, couldn't achieve the level of exaggeration that Gilbert did.

Of course little Gilbert would not explain it to them, so it became an eternal unsolved mystery.

With the coming of Christmas, Gilbert Jr. gave the crew a holiday and took Anne Hathaway to attend the premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2. (End of this chapter)
