Chapter 870 An old heart never grows old

Although he didn't get to attend the screening, Peter chatted with Sexy Rebecca about the film, who said it was the perfect finale to the trilogy.

Peter still trusted what Sexy Rebecca said, after all, they had similar tastes.

To be honest, he was scared for a while when he attended the premiere this time.

Previously, there were reports on the Internet and tabloids that a dangerous person was planning to commit a crime. Influenced by this news, the number of fans at the premiere was much less than expected.

But when he saw the burly bodyguards in suits and sunglasses, as well as the Los Angeles Police Department officers and FBI agents, Peter felt at ease.

Although police officers and FBI agents do not do a good job in protecting ordinary people, they still do their best to protect celebrities and wealthy people.

After quickly walking down the red carpet, Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, along with their two children, found little Gilbert, who was entertaining guests in the VIP room.

"Hi! Suri, Liam!"

Little Gilbert gave his two godchildren a big hug, and the two children sweetly called him godfather.

After leaving the child in the care of his assistant, Tom Cruise and Gilbert Jr. talked about what happened yesterday.

"I heard that a suspicious person was caught yesterday. Will there be any trouble?"

"Don't worry, Tom. Nothing will happen. Our security work is very good."

"That's good."

Tom Cruise knew that Gilbert Jr. had set up his own security company, mainly to protect his own safety. Even his and Nicole Kidman's bodyguards were hired from Gilbert Jr.'s security company.

Tom Cruise also had another goal: "I feel good during the filming of Gravity. Do you think I have a chance to win the Best Supporting Actor award?"

If Tom Cruise had not won the Oscar for Best Actor before, he would have given up on the Oscar.

But since winning the Best Actor award for "Chicago", Tom Cruise has starred in several art films and received two nominations.

Tom Cruise felt that since Anne Hathaway was able to win the Oscar for Best Actress with "Gravity", there would be no problem for him to win the Best Supporting Actor award.

To be honest, he even wanted to win the Oscar for Best Actor, but there was no hope because the role he played had too few lines.

Of course, if he can impress the academy and the judges with a twenty-minute performance like Anthony Hopkins, there is still hope.

But the nature of the two films is different, so winning the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor is still possible.

Gilbert Jr. expressed his support for Tom Cruise: "I think it's very promising, Tom, I'm rooting for you."

Tom Cruise smiled when he heard this: "That's great."

Then he looked at Nicole Kidman and asked Gilbert Jr.: "Do you have a role suitable for Mary? Can you give her a chance?"

Nicole Kidman's career has been relatively smooth, mainly due to her roles in The Lord of the Rings series and The Hobbit series, and she also won an Oscar for Best Actress.

But seeing that "The Hobbit" series is coming to an end, Nicole Kidman is naturally unwilling to disappear from the field of commercial films.

But in fact, this is a reality that actresses have to accept, that is, young and beautiful actresses will snatch their position in commercial films.

Which of the former heartthrobs didn't retreat to the back burner after getting older?
Gilbert thought for a moment and said to Nicole Kidman, "Mary, I'll keep an eye on it. Once there's a suitable role, I'll let you know."

Nicole Kidman was very grateful: "Thank you, little Gilbert."

"You're welcome."

After chatting with Tom Cruise and his wife, Gilbert Jr. received Spielberg again. Spielberg talked about the recent developments of Universal Pictures: "Universal Pictures recently wants to reboot the movie Jurassic Park."

"Let me guess, they didn't ask you to convince me to be the director?"

"You guessed it right."

Spielberg smiled and said, "But to be honest, I don't recommend you to take over this film. I don't think Disney will agree to it either."

The reason why Universal Pictures came up with the idea of ​​inviting Gilbert Jr. to direct was because they saw hope from Warner Pictures.

They believe that since Gilbert Jr. can direct the "Dark Knight" series for Warner, there will be no problem for him to direct the "Jurassic Park" reboot for Universal Pictures.

Moreover, Gilbert Jr.'s first film was invested by Universal Pictures, so with this relationship, there should be hope.

"Universal Pictures hired you to convince me to take over the reboot of Jurassic Park, so why are you trying to persuade me not to take it?" asked Gilbert Jr.

Spielberg said this very sincerely: "With your status, little Gilbert, you don't need a hit commercial film to prove yourself.

Now you have reached the stage where you can shoot whatever you want, and your career achievements are great enough for you. "

This is true. If an ordinary director was Gilbert's age, his directorial career would probably be in the early stages and he would need a lot of opportunities.

But at this stage, Gilbert Jr. no longer lacks those opportunities, and what he needs to consider instead is fame and brand.

Perhaps this is why Spielberg rarely touches commercial films nowadays and turns to directing some art films. Because art films don't do well at the box office, they can still boast about their artistry.

If a few commercial films fail, wouldn't that ruin his reputation?
Of course, with Spielberg's status, a few commercial films wouldn't have much of an impact. But the old man loves his reputation and doesn't want to be called old or outdated.

The difference can be seen from the situations of Zhang Yimou and Spielberg. In the later period of his directorial career, Zhang Yimou shot a series of commercial blockbusters, which received mixed reviews.

Spielberg's situation is much better. His art films are generally praised, and the commercial films he directed are also considered successful, successfully maintaining his reputation.

Logically speaking, little Gilbert has not reached their stage yet, and there is only one person in the world as special as little Gilbert.

A 42-year-old director has become the world's box office champion. He has won awards and classics.

It can be said that even if Gilbert Jr. retires where he is, as long as there are no major changes in the film market, it will be difficult for anyone to surpass his achievements.

But if you consider Gilbert Jr.'s age, it's still too early for him to retire now. It won't be a problem for him to work for another 30 years.

Being a director is a profession with a very long life. As long as you have passion, motivation and the desire to create, you can keep working.

Clint Eastwood is a role model in this regard.

Back to the premiere of "The Dark Knight Rises", as a highly anticipated movie, the premiere was naturally held very grandly.

However, for movie fans who do not have tickets for the premiere, after the red carpet ceremony, they should find a cinema and wait for the midnight show to start.

Peter was waiting in the theater early. The version shown at the premiere was IMAX2D.

There is no 3D version of "The Dark Knight Rises". In this process where all of Hollywood is pursuing 3D movies, Gilbert Jr. did not follow blindly.

Peter agrees with Gilbert's approach. 3D movies are conditional. Some movies cannot be forced into 3D, otherwise the viewing experience will be greatly reduced.

Someone shouted, "The movie has started..."

Peter shook off all the thoughts in his mind and focused on watching the movie. (End of this chapter)
