On the way back, Charlize Theron asked Gilbert, "I heard you helped Andrew Garfield out of a tough spot?"
"Yes," Gilbert nodded, "he's a good person."
"A good person?" Charlize Theron teased, "doesn't sound like a good way to describe someone."
"Good person" is a positive term, but in Hollywood, being a good person is usually associated with being a fool or an idiot, so it sounds kind of silly.
Gilbert laughed out loud after hearing this. "It's not really a great description, but Andrew is Jewish after all, so I had to help him."
Charlize Theron pouted. "I thought you had your eye on his… rear."
"Well! So that's what you think of me!" Gilbert immediately reached for the sensitive spot on Charlize Theron's waist and tickled her.
Charlize Theron laughed so hard she gasped for air, begging him to stop. Gilbert finally let go of her waist and moved on to her rear.
At this moment, Charlize Theron's eyes were seductive, and she actively pulled down the zipper at the back of her dress, making it easier for Gilbert to explore. She wasn't content to stay passive and began to playfully attack Gilbert as well.
Outside, she was a queen, but inside, she became a small woman awaiting affection.
This side of Charlize Theron could not be seen by outsiders.
Luckily, the car was specially modified and designed—not only was the space roomy, but the soundproofing was excellent, so the driver in front couldn't notice.
Of course, many things were understood tacitly; even if the driver didn't see, he would understand. However, a professional driver clearly didn't want to lose this job and wouldn't say a word.
By the way, the driver was a female, as requested by Gilbert.
Mainly because when doing such things in the car, even if the driver couldn't see, having a male driver next to them would make Gilbert feel uncomfortable.
After a session of passionate indulgence, Charlize Theron wiped away the traces and glared at Gilbert.
"You're always so rough, it's really annoying."
"You're blaming me unfairly. You asked for it, and now you're complaining. That doesn't make sense."
"I don't care, it's you."
Her coquettish expression and playful, girlish tone gave Gilbert a sense of conquest. Perhaps this was the unparalleled satisfaction of sleeping with a female star.
In terms of appearance and figure, many glamorous stars in the San Fernando Valley were actually better than those who were already famous. But think about it—pinning down a star with countless fans gave an enormous sense of satisfaction that was simply addictive.
Perhaps this is why such entertainment stories remain popular over time—they fulfill the fantasies of countless LSPs dreaming of being with female stars.
Meanwhile, the Transformers celebration banquet had concluded successfully. Michael Ovitz, having heard about Andrew Garfield and Gilbert, approached Andrew Garfield.
"I heard Gilbert invited you to star in the series he's going to direct?" Michael Ovitz asked.
Andrew Garfield nodded, then said, "It's just a verbal promise, maybe just a courtesy."
"I know this person," Michael Ovitz said, pleased after confirming, "if he said he would cast you as the male lead, then you will be cast."
"And what about Mr. Ellison?"
"No problem, I'll talk to him."
Andrew Garfield breathed a sigh of relief. The trouble was finally solved; otherwise, he would have had to… contribute his rear.
Sometimes it was really unavoidable. Take contributing one's rear, for example—if Andrew Garfield was unwilling, he could very likely be replaced.
His management contract was with Michael Ovitz's company, so he couldn't use another agency to find suitable roles or projects.
Having just tasted fame with Transformers, a sudden fall back to square one was a huge blow that Andrew Garfield could not accept.
But Gilbert's promise changed everything. With Andrew Garfield now able to secure roles, the industry blacklist lost its meaning.
Of course, Michael Ovitz could still suggest some outrageous clauses to Garfield's agent, hoping Gilbert would back off.
Yet honestly, it wasn't necessary. It was just a single project with one actor; applying heavy pressure in public would only reflect poorly on them.
As expected, David Ellison, upon hearing about the situation, didn't take it too seriously and even congratulated Andrew Garfield.
"Not bad, landing a leading role with Gilbert," David Ellison said with a smile. "This is an opportunity for you, Andrew—make the most of it!"
As for any insinuations, David Ellison didn't mention them; that matter was considered over.
Naturally, outside there were some inevitable rumors, suggesting Gilbert was interested in Garfield inappropriately. But after a few days, without any concrete follow-up, such whispers faded on their own.
A few days later, Melon Studios sent Garfield's agent a script, specifying that Andrew Garfield would play the character David Martinez.
Andrew Garfield eagerly received the script and began reading immediately.
He was quickly captivated by the story. The script, titled Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, followed the legendary rise of David Martinez.
It introduced various concepts such as ICE—Intrusion Countermeasures Electronics—the most advanced digital security system, designed to defend corporate data against hackers.
Every alert and capable company had a cyber anti-intrusion department to safeguard its digital fortress. Meanwhile, ambitious hackers constantly tried to find backdoors into these networks.
The script also described cybernetic augmentations implanted in humans, ranging from enhanced vision in the eyes to leg implants boosting jumping ability.
These imaginative details drew in the young Andrew Garfield, whose mind was eager for new concepts, immersing him completely.
Various factions—military tech, Arasaka Corporation, Animal Gang, and Vortex Gang—further expanded Garfield's fascination with the neon-lit world of Night City.
The story itself was emotionally gripping, inspiring Garfield's enthusiasm. The climactic moment, with David Martinez sacrificing everything to ensure Lucy reaches the moon, was particularly moving.
Andrew Garfield immediately called his agent, excitement in his voice: "I have to play David Martinez. If I don't take this role, I'll regret it."
Gilbert's choice to cast Andrew Garfield was simple: it wasn't about appearance, it was about fit.
In a way, Garfield's portrayal in The Amazing Spider-Man mirrored the essence of David Martinez.
At just twenty-three, Garfield still held traces of youthful innocence while beginning to radiate the vitality of young adulthood.
Even though it was a series, Gilbert wanted to work with familiar faces from the film industry. Scarlette was brought on to play Lucy.
After receiving Garfield's confirmation, casting for the other roles proceeded: Maine, Dorrio, Kiwi, Akira, Rebecca, Falco, the main villain Adam Smasher, and David's mother, Gloria Martinez.
Of course, the centerpiece challenge remained: how Gilbert would create the vast, immersive city of Night City from scratch.
