Time is still a wild donkey, it never stops running.

The filming of "La La Land" is proceeding in an orderly manner, and the hustle and bustle of 2015 is about to pass.

This year, the global box office champion throne that Gilbert had lost returned to him, although he no longer cares about this honor.

"Fast & Furious 7" also performed well at the box office, ranking seventh on the box office list with $15.26 billion after a rapid surge.

The rise of this film just squeezed out "Batman: The Dark Knight" which was ranked tenth, so Gilbert Jr. only has five movies in the top ten.

Although the words are Versailles, in fact, this is not the whole story, because "Fast and Furious 7" is still related to Gilbert Jr., as he is the producer.

Another box office hit this year was "Jurassic World" produced by Universal Pictures. As a brand-new work of the famous movie "Jurassic Park", this film lived up to expectations.

The film not only won the North American box office championship with 6.52 million, but also ranked sixth on the box office list with 16.67 billion US dollars, once again squeezing Gilbert's "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" out of the top ten.

Currently ranked tenth is "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises", but in recent years, there have been more and more blockbusters with box office exceeding one billion US dollars, so it seems that the film's position is not very safe.

This leaves Gilbert Jr. with only five films in the top ten.

Five films may seem like a lot, but it is. It would be enough to brag about for a while for any director, but it is unacceptable to fans of Gilbert Jr.

However, this change did not affect little Gilbert. It was impossible for her to get all the good things, right? That didn't make sense.

With so many films performing well, the total North American box office in 2015 exceeded the $130 billion mark, up 7.4% from the same period last year.
The number of moviegoers also reached 13.34 billion, up 5% from the previous month, reversing the downward trend of the previous two years.

However, it is worth noting that, apart from the top films, the overall box office of the remaining films added together is actually shrinking.

Among these top films, there are not only ship-and-engine hero blockbusters, but also sequels and spin-offs, as well as reboots of classics.

Almost no original independent films made the list. The only outstanding one was "The Revenant", starring Leonardo DiCaprio, which was also adapted from a novel.

As a result, the idea that originality is dead has once again emerged in Hollywood, causing more film companies to become more superstitious about sequels and adaptations.

Moreover, the original work of this kind of adapted movie needs to have a certain degree of popularity. Otherwise, without the influence of the original work, it may not be much different from the original movie.

But are original films really bad? Not really, because Hollywood film companies receive quite a few original scripts every year, many of which have some fantastic ideas.

But unfortunately, the market environment determines that most of these original scripts cannot get investment unless they are favored by top producers or directors.

If it weren't for Gilbert Jr. wanting to shoot a script like "La La Land", Disney would never have been able to come up with $6000 million to make this movie.

If you tell others that an original musical costs $60 million, they will think you are crazy.

But add Gilbert Jr.'s name before the $60 million and it all starts to make sense.

In fact, Gilbert Jr. himself received quite a few scripts, and many screenwriters hoped that he would take a fancy to their scripts and help him become famous.

But unfortunately, so far, Gilbert Jr. has not taken a fancy to many scripts, and only a few of them have been favored.

"Wow, this place is so beautiful. How did you find this place?" Little Leo exclaimed as he looked at the purple light in the sky.

Gilbert Jr. laughed and said, "It was discovered more than a decade ago when Naomi and I came here for a walk. The story of La La Land was also born at that time."

Leo expressed his anger: "Man, you kept this place a secret for more than a decade. If you had told me earlier, I could have invited a dozen models to have a party here."

Scarlett Johansson on the side complained: "Leo, if you come to have a party, you will ruin this place." "Honey, how can I? I love beautiful flowers the most."

Leo came here today to seek support from Gilbert Jr. He starred in a good movie "The Revenant" and he wants to make a bid for an Oscar.

It is said that Leo went crazy for the Oscar. He starred in various independent films, played various perverted roles, and then destroyed his image in various ways.

Gilbert Jr. once joked to him: "If you have a face like Tom Hanks, you'll win at least two Best Actor awards."

But unfortunately, Oscar has a big prejudice against handsome guys. Especially playboys like Leo, who are the object of Oscar's conservative old man's disgust.

Fortunately, Tom Cruise won the Best Actor award in his early years thanks to Gilbert, otherwise, unless he learned from Leo, he would not have won the award.

Naturally, Gilbert Jr. expressed his support for Leo's bid for the Best Actor award.

"I think you have great hope, Leo, don't worry!"

Leonardo DiCaprio said: "I think there is great hope this time, and it feels good. The director of The Revenant is great, I will introduce him to you someday."

"Uh!"

Little Gilbert refused: "Forget it, I heard he doesn't take a bath."

The Revenant is directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu, who won the 2015 Oscar for Best Director for Birdman.

This year, he once again teamed up with Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hardy to bring this ambitious "The Revenant".

Currently, the film is being screened in major box office cities across the United States, but it will be released on a large scale after the Oscar nominations are announced.

I have the impression that this film did pretty well at the North American box office, which is acceptable compared to its investment.

More importantly, the film did win Leo his first Best Actor trophy.

Gilbert Jr. would naturally help his good friend. He called several Italian judges and asked them to help vote for Leo.

At the same time, Leo will also do some public relations work himself.

Alejandro González Iñárritu is an outlier in Hollywood. In short, he doesn't even take Gilbert Jr. seriously and thinks he is the director who understands the art of film the best.

He is Mexican and when he first came to Hollywood, he appeared at a reception for Paramount Pictures.

But his behavior was quite shocking, he walked into the reception naked without taking a shower or grooming. Although he was thrown out by the security guard, he also became famous.

That's why little Gilbert said that he didn't like taking a bath. His behavior was too artistic and most people might not be able to accept it.

Of course, there are many weirdos in making independent films, and one more isn’t too many.

Most importantly, he can succeed.

Success is the rule in Hollywood, and after Alejandro González Iñárritu achieved success, his strange flaws were no longer a problem.

However, even a big shot like Little Gilbert would still not show any favor to him.

After all, given the status of both parties, Little Gilbert is not someone that Alejandro González Iñárritu can mess with. (End of this chapter)
