In fact, people like Gilbert Jr. are rare in Hollywood. Most first-line directors basically release a work every two to three years.

It is rare to find a commercial film director like James Cameron who only makes one movie every ten years, but it is very common in the independent film circle.

"You don't look like you have no energy."

Gilbert Jr. smiled and said, “I heard that last month you single-handedly piloted the Deepsea Challenger and completed a feat of diving to a depth of 10908 meters.

It also stayed on the seafloor for 2 hours and 38 minutes, which is quite an achievement.”

"I am very interested in water. I believe water is the origin of everything and the starting point of life, so I have an extraordinary interest in exploring the underwater world."

James Cameron's answer was not surprising. After all, everyone knows that James Cameron loves diving, and this time he even challenged the depth of 10,000 meters.

He also invited little Gilbert to go with him, but Gilbert declined the invitation on the grounds that he was very busy with work. He personally preferred safer adventures.

After listening to James Cameron, Gilbert Jr. laughed and said, “Why not name the second Avatar movie The Way of Water?”

James Cameron's eyes lit up: "That's a good name, I'll remember it."

As far as I can remember, the box office performance of "Avatar: The Way of Water" was actually pretty good, with one exception, which was mainland China.

In fact, looking at the two "Avatar" movies, the stories can be said to be unremarkable. James Cameron is one of the most standard storytelling directors.

This means that he basically won't make films like "The Matrix" and "Inception".

Looking at all of James Cameron's films, you will find that his film narratives follow the typical rhythm of Hollywood blockbusters, and the pinnacle of this narrative is "Titanic."

The story of "Avatar" is also a typical example within this narrative framework, but because the 3D effect is so amazing and the conservative narrative does not allow for any major flaws, it created a box office myth.

By the time of Avatar 2: The Way of Water, the narrative rhythm and the core of the story had not changed much. The only change was that the audience had been impacted by a large number of visual effects blockbusters and no longer felt anything.

Audiences in mainland China, in particular, have completely demystified Hollywood blockbusters during this period.

But even so, the performance of "Avatar 2: The Way of Water" is still pretty good. But according to James Cameron's characteristics, it is estimated that it will take a long time.

James Cameron announced the sequel plan as early as 2010. Last year, he said that the second and third parts of "Avatar" would be shot back-to-back and released consecutively from 2014 to 2015.

But looking at the current situation, it is estimated that it will be delayed.

Gilbert Jr.'s suggestion for this is to release it at the right time. Perhaps if "Avatar 2: The Path of Water" came out earlier, th Century Fox could survive a little longer.

As a major shareholder and board member of Disney, Gilbert Jr. naturally does not want "Avatar 2: The Way of Water" to save Fox's life.

Although this will at most allow 20th Century Fox to survive for a while, it will not have much effect.

Before leaving, Gilbert Jr. asked James Cameron to help call for votes for Anne Hathaway, and James Cameron agreed.

Later, when James Cameron attended an event, he was interviewed by reporters and talked about his impressions of visiting the set of Gravity.

"I think after Avatar, Gravity will be the best 3D movie. I've seen some of the clips, and they're quite amazing." James Cameron talked about Gilbert's directing ability: "The opening stage of the film is shocking enough. I believe that anyone who sees this clip will not be able to take their eyes away.

I was so shocked that I was speechless. If I had filmed it, it couldn’t have been better.”

He also talked about Anne Hathaway's performance: "Jacqueline performed very well, I think she deserves an Oscar."

Tom Cruise, who just finished his cameo in Gravity, also said in front of the media: "The whole filming process was very hard, even I was a little overwhelmed.

But Jacqueline worked very hard to complete the performance without any complaints, and she performed perfectly.

In fact, I think she has a very good chance of winning the Best Actress trophy at next year’s Oscars.”

This is Gilbert Jr.'s advance promotion for the Oscars. Although the film is still being shot, some things have to be done in advance, otherwise there will be no chance to fight for it.

Not only that, Gilbert Jr. also mobilized his own network of contacts to continuously build momentum for Anne Hathaway among Italian gangs and Jewish clubs.

The British and Australian gangs also have help from Christian Bale, Daniel Day-Lewis, Naomi Watts and others.

Gilbert Jr. also called predecessors such as Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, Francis Coppola, and those well-known and influential producers and directors, and basically they would give him a face.

The Weinstein brothers are well aware of Gilbert Jr.'s power.

As the people most familiar with the Oscar public relations business, the Weinstein brothers left the Disney system and established Weinstein Pictures after Robert Iger took over as CEO of Disney.

Over the years, the Weinstein brothers have become hot figures in Hollywood because their company has continuously helped movie stars realize their dreams.

Especially Harvey Weinstein, there are many romantic stories about him in Hollywood. It is rumored that he slept with many movie queens and even had a party with three Best Supporting Actress winners at the same time.

For these actresses, the price they paid was just a tiny bit, but the rewards were huge, so the deal was very cost-effective.

This year, Weinstein Studios is pushing the movie "Silver Linings Playbook", starring Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence, which is also aiming for an Oscar.

Jennifer Lawrence is not particularly beautiful in Hollywood, which is full of beautiful women, but her face makes people want to paint her, and Harvey Weinstein is no exception.

But when he implicitly proposed this idea, Jennifer Lawrence rejected it without hesitation.

Harvey Weinstein is weird, doesn't Jennifer Lawrence want to be the first post-90s Oscar winner? What happened?
Harvey Weinstein never dreamed that the Jennifer Lawrence he was thinking about had already climbed into someone else's bed.

Stars who can make it in Hollywood and become successful are definitely not stupid. Jennifer Lawrence understands that she will be Anne Hathaway's biggest competitor next year because the Weinstein brothers are behind her.

At this point, it’s time to consider the trade-offs: Is Gilbert Jr.’s support more important, or is the Oscar winner more important?

Jennifer Lawrence answered without hesitation. She gave herself to Gilbert Jr. without hesitation and took such photos and videos to show that she completely belonged to Gilbert Jr.

She is very smart. What is an Oscar winner? An Oscar winner is just to make you more commercially valuable and lay the foundation for you to become a top actress.

But who can say that Marilyn Monroe and Greta Garbo, who never won an Oscar, are not legendary actresses? And Meryl Streep, who has won many Oscars, has never been discussed in the scope of first-line actresses. (End of this chapter)
