Unlike "The Dark Knight Rises" which used large-scale live-action shooting, the entire film "Gravity" is planned to use large-scale CG production.

Because it is impossible for the crew to go to space for real shooting, that is not realistic.

This must also be an IMAX 3D version of the movie, because the high ticket price of IMAX 3D is an important means of profit.

However, as mentioned before, 3D performs poorly in dim scenes and may even cause physical discomfort, so special effects engineers need to find a way to solve this problem.

Prior to this, Disney and Cantaloupe Studios Chief Operating Officer Cameron Diaz held a press conference together, announcing that Lucasfilm and its Industrial Light & Magic would be sold to Disney as a package for US$42 billion.

Robert Iger announced at the board meeting that Disney had acquired 93% of Cantaloupe Studios' shares, and Gilbert Jr. was completely tied to Disney's chariot.

However, this also further expanded Gilbert Jr.'s power on the board of directors, and he became Disney's largest individual shareholder.

Some media commented that Disney should be called Landriny from now on. Although it still has "Ni", the nature is different.

Originally, this matter was going to be delayed, but the outstanding performance of Cantaloupe Studios last year made Disney determined. Among the movies that broke the billion-dollar box office last year, except for "Transformers", all others were from Cantaloupe Studios.

After realizing the value of Cantaloupe Studios, Robert Iger felt that he could not delay any longer, lest he cause more trouble.

He knew very well that once he let Gilbert Jr. complete the integration of Lucasfilm and Marvel Studios, he would be able to handle it on his own without Disney.

By then, Hollywood may have an eighth giant, which is unacceptable to both the outside giants and Disney.

There are now seven Hollywood giants, and the original eighth giant has been merged into MGM. Due to its political attributes, MGM ranks last among the seven giants.

Some media do not even consider MGM as a giant, but believe that there are six giants in Hollywood today. Of course, MGM is a member of the MPAA, which is a sign of a giant.

But no matter whether there are six giants or seven giants, no one wants to have one more giant.

When Spielberg founded DreamWorks and wanted to become a new giant, he was immediately besieged by other giants. For a time, this famous director in Hollywood became the public enemy of Hollywood.

Therefore, once little Gilbert goes back to his old ways, he will inevitably be attacked by the giants.

This is also the way he takes a roundabout approach, because he knows that even if he is a reborn person with a large number of high-quality projects, it is still difficult to compete with the giants.

Because movies are never just about movies. All aspects involved are extremely complicated. Even those systematic male protagonists from Qidian would find it difficult to handle it.

What's more, little Gilbert doesn't have a system yet. High-quality projects will run out of use sooner or later and there will always be a time when they can no longer be sustained.

Of course, as his wealth increases, Gilbert Jr. can also learn from the UAE consortium and spend money.

But young Gilbert didn't want to work so hard, so he chose an easier route and directly parasitized within the giant company and took over its nest.

Judging from the current results, it is undoubtedly very successful.

Today, Disney has reached the point where it cannot do without Gilbert Jr., and his personal influence on Disney has reached an unprecedented level.

In other words, if Gilbert Jr. expressed his desire to change the CEO, Robert Iger would step down the next day and be replaced by someone that Gilbert Jr. was satisfied with.

At this point, he would get angry with anyone who said Disney was not his company.

Although the name is still Disney, the interior is full of Landrini's style. What Michael Eisner failed to do, Gilbert Jr. can do easily.

This acquisition, which lasted for five or six years, finally came to an end. Gilbert Jr. and Warner Bros. broke up completely, and his power on the Disney board was further expanded. Warner Bros. suffered a big loss, but the stock price of its parent company Time Warner remained stable. It seems that although the Wall Street tycoons did not achieve their goal, they did not break their promise.

Disney made the most money overall, as they completely acquired Cantaloupe Studios. It's not just Cantaloupe Studios' production capabilities, but more importantly, its huge IP and copyright resources.

Lucasfilm also belongs to Disney, but Disney has divested those less valuable assets, such as Lucasfilm and Lucasfilm Games.

Influenced by the acquisition, Disney’s stock price continued to rise, breaking through $1300 billion in mid-March, firmly sitting on the throne of Hollywood’s number one company.

The phone-hacking scandal is still being hyped, but compared with the current size of News Corporation and Disney, News Corporation is like a younger brother.

After the acquisition was completed, Lucasfilm CEO Kathleen Kennedy announced that George Lucas would chat with Gilbert Jr. about the latest Star Wars movie.

Because George Lucas chose to sell Lucasfilm to Gilbert Jr. because Gilbert Jr. promised that he would direct the "Star Wars" movie himself.

Kathleen Kennedy's statement made Star Wars fans very excited. Since the end of the "Star Wars Prequel" series in 2006, fans have been looking forward to a new Star Wars movie.

What they most want is Gilbert Jr. to take over, because only Gilbert Jr. has the ability to bring "Star Wars" to life.

If you don’t understand it, you won’t know what Star Wars means to Americans. It can be said to be a spiritual totem.

The reason why science fiction films are so popular in Hollywood is that in the short history of the United States of just over two hundred years, there is actually not much worth talking about.

So Hollywood chooses to look to the future, and "Star Wars" can be said to be a stereotyped understanding of the future and history by Americans.

After so many years, "Star Wars" has become a symbol of American culture, representing today's America. That's why every "Star Wars" movie causes such a big response.

Following Kathleen Kennedy's announcement, Gilbert Jr. also stated on social media platforms that he would take over the Star Wars movie.

"This process will not be quick, and we need to prepare for the long term."

Gilbert Jr. said frankly: "Star Wars needs new vitality and firepower, and new stories. George and I are in constant communication.

We all think alike.”

No one would ignore Gilbert Jr.'s words, he never fails. Plus the big IP of Star Wars, all fans believe that Gilbert Jr.'s version of Star Wars will definitely be a success.

The outside world is generally optimistic, but Gilbert Jr. said in a private chat: “For Star Wars, we want to do a comprehensive reboot.

I talked to George and he agreed with my idea.

We want to transform the story of Star Wars from a space opera into a future historical documentary and create a new paradigm for science fiction films.”

Simply put, Gilbert Jr. is going to perform a major surgery on Star Wars.

But he is busy now, so this matter may have to be postponed.

Judging from this situation, Gilbert Jr. will have plenty of work in the future. Even if he runs out of classics from his previous life, he can still have fun for a long time with these IP sequels.

Hollywood companies love to make sequels, and this is a long-term meal ticket. (End of this chapter)
