In DC, the Penguin and Poison Ivy are both super outstanding villains.

In Gilbert Jr.'s Batman film series, the Joker's performance was very outstanding and was praised by many media as the best villain in film history.

However, in Marvel movies, the villains' actions are just there as a goal, becoming the reason for the establishment of the Avengers.

As for what the villain's purpose is, it's actually not very important.

In the movie "Avengers 2", although Ultron's behavior logic does not stand up to scrutiny, he only needs to be a villain to gather the Avengers.

This is also the reason why Gilbert Jr. did not make any major changes to "Avengers 2" and only made some changes in the details.

Several main actors participated in the film's preparation meeting.

Gilbert Jr. stressed at the preparatory meeting: "The film should avoid falling into an overly clichéd narrative. I read the initial script and it can't be said to be bad, but it has many shortcomings.

The opening scene is a big action scene, rushing straight to the climax, and then falling into the trough of talking about love and work. Then it continues with big scenes, repeating over and over again, and finally ends with the ultimate big scene.

This rhythm is certainly not wrong, but it has fallen into cliché, making the film look a bit bloated.

In addition, some jokes and humor seem out of place. I hope the film has a humorous tone instead of turning into a shitty and fart comedy. "

After that, Gilbert Jr. discussed with the screenwriters how to adapt the script, adding Iron Man's feelings for his parents and Captain America's feelings for Agent Carter.

The rest of the superheroes are just tools. Black Widow and Scarlet Witch are responsible for beauty, the Hulk is responsible for strength, and the others are just for supporting roles.

The most important one is Vision. Gilbert Jr. added more thoughts to the birth of this superhero.

Vision was created as a combination of multiple minds, including Ultron, JARVIS, the Mind Gem, Tony Stark, and Bruce Banner.

What the film wants to explore is that Vision and Ultron are both combinations of artificial intelligence, and there is a contrast between them.

Vision is more like MOSS in "The Wandering Earth", while Ultron is the villain in classic Hollywood movies.

Of course, if we continue to explore this issue in depth, there will be no end. The film should be renamed "Vision and Ultron" instead of "Avengers 2".

Speaking of "The Wandering Earth", during the preparation of "The Avengers", Gilbert Jr. also made a special trip to China and attended a press conference.

In mid-August, China Film announced the Chinese-language Science Fiction Star Project and hired Gilbert Jr. as a consultant for the project.

The first film under this plan is "The Wandering Earth" directed by Guo Fan.

Compared to the difficulties in the previous life, Guo Fan, who received support, had a much smoother time this time. Although China Film still only gave 100 million RMB, it invited Gilbert Jr. to be the producer of the film.

The press conference was held in Beijing, and Guo Fan was a little nervous before going on stage.

Gilbert Jr. said to him: "As the person in charge of a project, you have to be confident. If you, a director, are so flustered, how can you give confidence to your subordinates?"

Guo Fan has also experienced similar situations: "I was not panicking at first, but when you came, I got a little panicked."

"You mean you can't blame me?"

"That's not the case. I'm mainly afraid of embarrassing you."

Little Gilbert shrugged and said, "There's nothing to be ashamed of. Everyone knows that if the photo is good, it's a surprise, and if it's not, it's not surprising.

Just keep yourself steady and do your job well.”

After comforting Guo Fan, Little Gilbert also talked to Liu Cixin for a while. Liu Cixin himself is not a particularly good conversationalist and is a bit socially anxious. This was also Little Gilbert's first meeting with him, but Little Gilbert started the conversation with his works, which allowed Liu Cixin to return to his familiar field.

"I've read your book The Three-Body Problem. It's such a magnificent work! I heard it was bought and made into a movie? How's the result?"

Speaking of this, Liu Cixin also looked helpless: "I don't know much about movies, so I can't say anything, but I heard that it was rejected because it was so bad."

"That's a pity. I was hoping someone could bring this work to the big screen!" Gilbert Jr. said regretfully.

Guo Fan interrupted and said, "Teacher, I think you are very suitable."

"is it?"

"Of course, apart from you, I can't think of anyone else in this world who can lead the film and television adaptation of The Three-Body Problem."

Guo Fan thinks that Gilbert Jr. can do it. He was able to complete the difficult adaptation of The Lord of the Rings. In theory, the adaptation of The Three-Body Problem is more difficult, but Guo Fan thinks that Gilbert Jr. can do it.

More importantly, Guo Fan felt that Gilbert Jr. possessed top qualities of a Hollywood director, a global vision, and his thinking was closer to Eastern culture.

This is why Guo Fan feels that Gilbert Jr. can lead the adaptation of "The Three-Body Problem" and no one else can do it.

Of course, the current copyright relationship of "The Three-Body Problem" is very complicated. If Gilbert Jr. wants to enter the market, he needs a suitable time.

The three of them were chatting happily in the back when the press conference in the front started.

The host continued to introduce: "Let us welcome the film's director Guo Fan, the producer Liu Cixin, and the chief consultant of Chinese Film Science Fiction Star and the film's producer Mr. Gilbert Landrini Jr."

The three men came out one after another. The media reporters didn't feel anything when Guo Fan and Liu Cixin came out, but as soon as little Gilbert came out, the flash lights never stopped.

I heard early on that China Film Group had invited Gilbert Jr. to be the producer. At that time, everyone thought it was all fake news, but we didn't expect it to be true.

After an opening speech, Guo Fan began to introduce the project: "This time we invited the original author Liu Cixin and my teacher in Hollywood, Director Gilbert Jr., to serve as producers.

We are confident that we can make the first large-scale science fiction film produced in China since the 21st century."

Liu Cixin also affirmed Guo Fan's ability: "I have seen Source Code directed by Director Guo Fan. He is a director with great ideas and insights.

I believe he can do a good job and make a science fiction film that belongs to us Chinese people."

Gilbert Jr. took a different approach: "After serving as a consultant and producer, I asked my assistant to collect a lot of reactions from fans and audiences.

I found that most audiences are skeptical about Chinese science fiction films, thinking that it is impossible and cannot be made at all.

But if you ask me, your predecessors have already done it, but you haven’t continued this spirit.”

The reporters were stunned. It was done? Could it be "Happy Planet" or "Magic Phone"? It didn't look like it!

Seeing the confused looks on the reporters' faces, Gilbert Jr. said, "In 1963, the Shanghai Film Studio produced Little Sun.

Although this film is closer to a special effects film in form, it already raised popular concepts and scientific topics such as shared cars, artificial intelligence and antimatter at that time. "

Speaking of this, Liu Cixin also remembered: "I was the first one to recommend this movie to everyone. It was one of my science fiction enlightenments."

Gilbert Jr. took over the topic and said, “So it’s normal to have doubts, but you can’t not do it just because you think it’s impossible.

Because if you don't try, you will never be able to do it." (End of this chapter)
