The matter was resolved satisfactorily, and little Gilbert also told the outside world that he was not someone to be trifled with.

At the same time, it fully sends a signal that if you don't plan to win with one blow, it's best not to offend him, otherwise you will face fierce revenge.

Of course, it doesn't matter if it's a legitimate competition within the rules. After all, little Gilbert is a rule-abiding person.

The result of this incident is that because of Gilbert Jr.'s "death news", "Avengers: Age of Ultron" has maintained a good popularity.

As of the first weekend of July, the film had earned $5 million in North America and $3823 billion worldwide, ranking fourth.

After the re-release of "Titanic", the film's global box office has reached 21.87 billion US dollars, so "Avengers: Age of Ultron" ranked fourth.

第一自然是《阿凡达》的27.88亿美元，第二是《复仇者联盟1》的24.05亿美元，第五则是小吉伯特执导的另外一部影片《魔戒3：王者归来》18.02亿美元。

When people look at this list, they will find that the top five are monopolized by Gilbert Jr. and James Cameron. And when they look at the top ten list, they will find that Gilbert Jr. alone occupies seven seats.

Only two works by James Cameron, plus "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 13.41", ranked eighth with a box office of US$ billion.

But this movie was produced by Gilbert Jr., so it can also be considered as Gilbert Jr.'s work.

This is terrifying. It is so scary that a person can produce such a stable number of films and achieve success in the market every year. It makes people suspect that little Gilbert is not human.

So it is not difficult to understand why the "death news" of Gilbert Jr. caused such a big shock. He was the king in the film industry.

As for his achievements in IT and investment, they are nothing compared to his status in the film industry.

So when Gilbert Jr. submitted a musical script to Disney again after 15 years, Disney was willing to pay for their ace director, and "La La Land" was approved.

The film's leading lady has already been chosen, and it's Scarlett Johansson.

For this film, Scarlett Johansson jumped straight into preparation after two weeks of promoting Avengers: Age of Ultron.

Mainly practicing dancing and singing, this is what little Gilbert said about her requirements for dancing.

"I want you to dance like an amateur. Just like the ending of this movie, I want a flawed dance."

"So what should I do?" Scarlett Johansson asked.

Gilbert Jr. said, "I have found a singing and dancing expert from Broadway named David Vacos, who will teach you how to dance."

Compared to the original female lead Emma Stone, Scarlett Johansson's journey to Hollywood seems to be too smooth because of Gilbert Jr.'s protection.

So it was difficult for her to understand Mia's dream-chasing experience in the script. On the contrary, Naomi Watts was more in line with Mia's experience before she met little Gilbert.

At that time, Naomi Watts came to Los Angeles to pursue her dream, worked in restaurants and bars, and could not pay the rent. It can be said that her experience was highly similar to Mia's.

In order to research the feeling, Scarlett Johansson pestered Naomi Watts again and again, asking her about her past experiences.

At the same time, she also interviewed dream chasers living in North Hollywood, experienced their lives, and competed with them for jobs.

Scarlett Johansson even found a job in a restaurant, so much so that a gossip newspaper joked: "Miss Scarlett Johansson was abandoned by Little Gilbert and ended up working in a restaurant for a living."

Of course, it was later confirmed that Scarlett Johansson was preparing for a new movie.

The news that Gilbert Jr. would make another musical film after 15 years had naturally spread a long time ago. Although fans did not understand Gilbert Jr.'s choice, they also expressed their support. As for the media, except for a few media that still expressed pessimism, the rest of the media said that Gilbert Jr. would once again save the declining musical film market.

Compared to the "Chicago" period fifteen years ago, not many people now think that Gilbert Jr. will fail because he has succeeded so many times.

Disney quickly announced the cast list, and many roles were finalized one after another, and then they participated in dance rehearsals.

However, the male lead has remained undecided. Many media have speculated that Tom Cruise will work with Gilbert Jr. again, while others have speculated that it will be actors such as Jake Gyllenhaal and Channing Tatum.

All of the above actors have expressed their interest in working with Gilbert Jr.

But they were not chosen as the male lead in the end, and Gilbert Jr. did not even invite them. When he called Tom Cruise, Gilbert Jr. said that the male lead had been decided.

While the outside world was speculating, the script of "La La Land" had already been handed to Ryan Gosling by his agent.

Ryan Gosling also debuted as a child star. When he was thirteen years old, he collaborated with young Gilbert in the movie "Real Steel".

The business has been developing pretty well in recent years, appearing in various art and feature films, and things have been going pretty smoothly.

However, when Ryan Gosling received the script of "La La Land", he felt his heart skip a beat. After reading the script, he immediately said that he would take the film even if he was paid nothing.

The agent said, "Ryan, this is Gilbert Jr. You have worked together before, so you should know him well."

Ryan Gosling waved his hand and said, "Don't say any more. I know what kind of director he is. Only he can come up with such a script."

The golden age of musicals has long passed, and even "Chicago" failed to revive them. But Gilbert's musicals are trustworthy because he has created such achievements.

The news soon spread that Ryan Gosling, to the surprise of many people, became the leading actor in Gilbert Jr.'s new film.

Disney also happily invested 60 million US dollars in this film, which is 30 million US dollars more than the original "La La Land".

And this extra part was not the film remuneration, because Gilbert Jr. only received a symbolic salary of one dollar.

Even a big director like him had his salary cut, so the male and female leads Ryan Gosling and Scarlett Johansson naturally also had their pay cut.

Most of the production funds will be used for on-site shooting, and actors from the Actors Guild, numbering up to thousands, have been invited to perform, and these people have to receive certain dance training.

At the same time, art director Selina Heffey traveled around Los Angeles according to Gilbert Jr.'s request and selected more than one hundred landscapes and landmark buildings as possible locations for the film.

Of course, how can a musical forget the songs.

"Whiplash" director Damien Chazelle recommended his good friend Justin Hurwitz to Gilbert Jr. and guaranteed that the music composed by Justin Hurwitz would satisfy Gilbert Jr.

It's a fateful one, as Damien Chazelle had written the script for La La Land as early as 2010, when he had just shot an experimental film.

As a result, a friend from the Screenwriters Association read his script and said that a similar script had already been filed with the Screenwriters Association.

When Damien Chazelle saw the filing date was 1999, he was stunned.

No, buddy, why do you have to come so early? (End of this chapter)
