"Are you going to direct it yourself?" Tom Cruise asked.

Little Gilbert shook his head. "My schedule is full, but Chris is very interested in this novel. He proposed to adapt and write the script himself, and he thinks you are very suitable for the leading role."

Tom Cruise certainly knows who Chris is. Nolan can be said to be the director who has been in the limelight in recent times, except for Gilbert Jr.

The films he directed, such as "The Prestige", "District 9" and "Lucy", have all achieved remarkable results, making him one of the hottest directors.

Recently, after director Nolan restructured Cantaloupe Studios, he signed a contract with Disney in the name of his personal production company and cooperated directly with Disney.

However, on the project, Director Nolan and Gilbert Jr. still share their resources with each other.

Tom Cruise was moved: "When?"

"next year!"

Little Gilbert laughed and said, “Chris is currently working as a farmer in Canada, growing corn!”

The script of "Edge of Tomorrow" ranks third on the Hollywood script blacklist, which means that this film is definitely not suitable for being made into a movie.

But Nolan felt that there was nothing wrong with the story itself, but the script had a lot of problems, so he wanted to direct the movie himself. Gilbert Jr. brought Jonathan Nolan over, and the two brothers worked together on the script.

It turns out that only when Jonathan Nolan and Christopher Nolan work together can they produce a good script.

In fact, it's not just this project. A screenwriter named Taylor Sheridan also submitted a script to the studio called "Sicario".

This script ranks fifth on the Hollywood script blacklist and is not much better than "Edge of Tomorrow".

But Gilbert Jr. still accepted the script. If Taylor Sheridan hadn't submitted the script, he wouldn't have even thought of such a movie.

Among action movies, "Sicario" is definitely a special one, a film that no action movie lover can miss.

Gilbert wanted to direct the film himself, but his schedule was full, so he had to find another director to take over and he would be the producer.

The outside world also talked a lot about this. Two consecutive scripts on the blacklist were taken down by Gilbert Jr., and everyone speculated what was good about these two scripts.

You have to know that Gilbert Jr. has always been known for his keen vision, and the script he chose must have something worthwhile.

But after analyzing it, everyone still thinks that the script of the film is really not that good, and it would be good enough if it can just break even on the cost.

Little Gilbert's reputation is so great that everyone has to believe it.

Maybe little Gilbert has some special magic that can make any movie a success in his hands.

After Tom Cruise left, Charlize Theron also came to visit the set.

“How’s the filming of Mad Max: Fury Road going?”

Charlize Theron shook her head and said, "It wasn't going very smoothly. Director George Miller wasn't in good health, so the filming was on and off."

"God, I hope Director George Miller takes care of himself."

Little Gilbert prayed and then asked, "Sally, are you interested in appearing in the second part?"

"What role should I play in this movie?"

"A middleman, a very capable middleman. In the second film, you will work with Keanu to accomplish something big."

In the second part, Gilbert Jr. decided to tell the story of Johnny Silverhand. If the story of Johnny Silverhand is not explained clearly, the interaction between V and Johnny Silverhand will not be understood.

Essentially, the game's plot is missing a large part, including the friendship between V and Jack Wells, and Johnny Silverhand's past.

Therefore, many players will feel a little abrupt and confused when playing. Games can at least be saved by gameplay, but movies can only rely on stories. If the story is flawed, it cannot be saved later, so it is necessary to plan well from the beginning.

Charlize Theron agreed without much thought.

"Then my pay must not be reduced, little Gilbert."

"No problem, I'll give you billions."

"What do you mean by several billion?"

Charlize Theron reacted quickly and punched Gilbert several times: "Bah, dirty stuff, I don't want it."

"Really? Who yelled at me not to stop? Let me think about it!"

Charlize Theron blushed rarely and spat, "Anyway, it wasn't me, it could have been Naomi, or Michelle and Scarlett."

After the joke, Gilbert Jr. asked Charlize Theron: "Marvel is preparing to bring Captain Marvel to the big screen. Are you interested in starring in Captain Marvel?"

"Superhero movie?"

Charlize Theron frowned: "What's your suggestion?"

"My advice is to give it a try. I think it's a good idea. After all, it's a career guarantee."

Charlize Theron thought so too. After the huge success of "The Avengers" directed by Gilbert Jr., the Marvel superhero movie series has become a hot project.

In the past, Marvel only looked for out-of-date or second- or third-tier actors.

But now these actors have become first-line stars thanks to Marvel movies, and those first-line actors who have not starred in Marvel movies but have no jobs are naturally also keeping a close eye on Marvel movies.

Charlize Theron still has work opportunities, but she is already 37 years old. Actresses of this age have already begun to decline, and she is no exception.

Fortunately, she has a reliable man who can introduce her to many job opportunities. This is where Charlize Theron is luckier than other older first-line women.

If she participates in a Marvel superhero movie and becomes an actor in a series, it means that she will not lack work for a while, which is what Charlize Theron needs.

This is what makes little Gilbert's women different from those kept mistresses, whose financial resources come entirely from men.

But even if the women of Cantaloupe Manor don't rely on Gilbert Jr., they can have a stable income. This is why they maintain their personal independence, still confidently live in Cantaloupe Manor and are active in Hollywood.

It wasn't a whim that Gilbert Jr. recommended Charlize Theron to star in "Captain Marvel". Brie Larson is indeed quite good.

But Gilbert Jr. thinks Charlize Theron is better able to interpret the content of the movie "Captain Marvel", and it is also a long-term meal ticket for Charlize Theron.

As for Brie Larson, it has nothing to do with him, and actors don’t necessarily have to follow the choices they made in their previous lives.

Including if he wants to film "Black Panther" in the future, Gilbert Jr. will also change an actor instead of choosing the original one. Otherwise, if he makes a bad job like "Black Panther 2", Gilbert Jr. will not be able to bear it.

Fortunately, Gilbert Jr. has absolute control over Marvel, and no one will object to the direction he decides.

Time slowly passed into January 2013. After Christmas and New Year's Day, the crew continued to work hard on filming.

Despite his busy schedule, Gilbert Jr. also attended the Golden Globe Awards ceremony.

Although everyone says that the Golden Globe Awards ceremony is a barometer of the Oscars, in fact, its accuracy rate is not very high.

However, this award still has a certain degree of popularity, and it is also the last major award before the Oscars ceremony, so Gilbert Jr. still brought the "Gravity" crew to the ceremony.

As expected, Anne Hathaway won the Best Actress in a Drama Series award, and Gilbert Jr. also won the Golden Globe Award for Best Director, which was a good start. (End of this chapter)
