Chapter 35: Hollywood Fairy!
Liv Taylor is very happy today, and Don actually asked her to go to the movies tonight!
She has been living in Don's house for more than a month, and Don's attitude during this time has made her feel quite distressed.
When he first moved in, Don was very obsessed with her, pestering her body day and night, asking for it again and again, as if it was never enough.
But as time passed, Don's fiery energy weakened significantly, and his interest in her did not have the fanaticism of the past, and many times after doing things on her, he fell asleep, without all the gentle lingering of the past.
Liv Taylor has a high level of emotional intelligence, and she is keenly aware that it is time to find a chance to leave.
If it develops to the point that Don is not interested in himself, and even takes the initiative to speak in disgust, it will cause a serious blow to the relationship between the two. Leave early, at least let him have a thought.
Unexpectedly, Don asked her to come to see the movie, which was "Strategic Killer" starring George Clooney and Nicole Kidman.
For this R-rated movie, DreamWorks invested $50 million, making the global box office at least $150 million before it could recoup.
As the pioneering work of DreamWorks, this film has put a lot of effort into it, and Spielberg himself supervises it, but Spielberg has too much work, shoots two films a year, and has to supervise such a blockbuster, which is really distracting.
The rough special effects of the movie, the numbness of the heroes and heroines in the face of killing, lost the core part of Spielberg's film - the light of humanity!
And the concept of DreamWorks is also very problematic, if it is placed in the six major studios, this kind of flamboyant racist contradiction must be avoided, political correctness is not only a mainstream value, but also a box office guarantee!
DreamWorks' literary and youthful style is destined to be a failure.
Both wore big sunglasses and walked out of the cinema, and Don asked, "What do you think of this movie?"
"I didn't think it looked good. Liv Taylor shook her head and raised her pretty face, "I don't think Nicole Kidman is pretty!"
Tang En pursed his lips and saw a boutique underwear store in front of him, and pointed his hand, "Go over and shop?"
Liv Taylor's eyes lit up, and she almost jumped up with joy, "Okay!"
Recently, many gossip tabloids have reported that Don and Liv are in pairs, and Don doesn't care about it, while Liv enjoys it.
Now Don's move to give her underwear will undoubtedly put her on the hot topic of hype.
"After a while, I'll leave Los Angeles and go to Chicago to film. Donn nodded.
Liv Taylor held him affectionately, "Oh, then I'll move back in, your house is too big, and it's empty to live alone." ”
Don glanced at her appreciatively.
Take what you need, gather and disperse.
Very smart girl.
……
"Titanic" has been in theaters for more than four months, with a global box office of nearly $1.6 billion, and a North American box office of $530 million.
However, compared with the fiery frenzy in previous months, the current "Titanic" has passed its peak, and the box office growth has been very slow.
In the past week, the North American box office of "Titanic" barely exceeded $10 million, and the just-released DreamWorks blockbuster "Strategic Killer" is not necessarily very good.
It's the box office off-season!
In the first three days of the first weekend, "Strategic Killer", which was pinned on by DreamWorks, only had a box office of $12 million, which was very different from the $40 million estimated by DreamWorks before!
Originally, they thought that the North American box office of this movie could reach 100 million US dollars, and the overseas box office was about 200 million US dollars, but they didn't expect that this was not the case at all!
George Clooney has been criticized by the entire Hollywood for his consecutive box office failures in the two commercial productions of "Batman and Robin" and "Strategic Killer" this year.
And the heroine Nicole Kidman has also been widely criticized by the media, among which the famous literary publication "Village Voice" has the most severe criticism, bluntly saying that "she is an Australian clown who relies on Tom Cruise's influence to cheat and drink in Hollywood!"
The Los Angeles Times also believes that Nicole Kidman did not show the demeanor of a celebrity beauty in the movie, and the whole movie gives the impression that there is no sense of existence except for screaming and running.
Sitting in his office, Donn read some film reviews and asked Glenn Fierro, "Did Nicole Kidman reply to the message?"
Glenn Fiero said in a deep voice: "Her agent is not easy to deal with. ”
"Humph!"
Don was very dissatisfied, this Pat Kingsley was just messing around! he simply bypassed her and called her big boss, "Brian, there has been a lot of criticism of Nicole in the media recently." ”
Brian Lord sighed, "It was my mistake, I didn't expect the Spielberg-produced film to ......"
Don interrupted directly, "Brian, it doesn't matter if you failed the previous time, the important thing is that you can succeed next time! If you lose again and again, even Tom Cruise will fall off the altar." ”
Brian Lord pondered for a moment, "Nicole has left Kubrick's crew and is resting at home. ”
"Has she read my script?" Donn thought for a moment, then added, "That assistant agent of yours doesn't seem to know much about the current situation. ”
Brian hesitated slightly, "From commercial films to literary films, from literary films to commercial films...... Nicole has had a bad time in the past few years. ”
Donn smiled, "So, she needs to be in my movie." ”
"It's a hassle in terms of pay. Brian is also very difficult, as an agent, his first duty is to consider the interests of his artists.
Tang En said solemnly: "Two million dollars, I think it's very appropriate." ”
Brian's face was a little bitter.
As a top Hollywood female star on a par with Cameron Diaz and Julia Roberts, Nicole Kidman is more of a star than an actor.
Both of them are already close to the 20 million club, and Cocole Kidman is still fighting for millions of dollars.
"Perhaps...... Don is the hope of breaking the game. Brian groaned a little and then made a decision, "Three million dollars, I'll give you Nicole!"
"Deal!"
Don laughed, thinking Brian Lorde's words were funny.
……
At the end of September, the preparation of the crew of "My Grand Greek Wedding" was basically completed, and the relationship between Chicago and Chicago had also been contacted.
At the beginning of October, the contract of the last member of the crew was finally signed - Nicole Kidman!
In the CAA headquarters building, Don met this famous beauty for the first time.
But after seeing her, Don En realized that he was wrong, and he was wrong!
Where is this beauty?
It's clearly a fairy!
God, Don even dared to swear that he had never seen such a charming, so charming, so perfect and exquisite woman after he had been in Hollywood for more than a year!
What Kate Winslet, what Liv Taylor, it's all clouds.
Nicole Kidman in 1997, the beauty shines brightly, and the beauty is stunning!
She was wearing a long brown-red dress, a white coat casually draped outside, and in this October day, she showed snow-white calves and a long jade arm.
Her hair was golden, her eyes were blue, her skin was as white as snow, her lips were as red as fire, and the lines of her face were soft as water.
At first glance, the whole face is delicate like a porcelain doll.
In Hollywood, Donn has seen a lot of beauties and has never lost his temper, but in front of Nicole Kidman, he rarely lost his mind......
Don ...... Don ......"
Brian Lord coughed heavily, and was startled when he saw Donne's body trembling, he couldn't help but smile and introduced: "Okay, I don't think I need to introduce more, this is Don Walker, this is Nicole Cruise, you should know." ”
Nicole Kidman's expression was light, the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, and a charming smile appeared, "Hello, Mr. Walker." ”
Tang En lost the boss's face and waved his hand, "Seriously, I've never seen such a beautiful woman as you, and I was a little out of shape for a while. ”
Nicole Kidman pursed her lips and said, "You're so kind, Mr. Walker. ”
"Call me Don. Don secretly took a few deep breaths, but when he looked at Nicole Kidman, he still had a brilliant light that could not be concealed.
Nicole Kidman has been in Hollywood for more than ten years and has seen a lot of things, how can she not see the longing and burning in Donn's eyes? But she has long been used to this.
"Well, Don, since it's a collaboration, I hope we can work together well to complete the filming of this movie. Movies are our biggest reliance, right?"
Tang En naturally heard the warning from the other party's mouth, and smiled, "Of course, what you said is too right, making a good movie is the premise of everything." ”
eyes, unabashedly looking her body up and down.
It's all said and done, does Don still need to cover it up?
I'd rather be a real villain than a hypocrite.
Pat Kingsley's face was a little annoyed, it's okay if you like Nicole, but you can't be blatant, Nicole is now Mrs. Cruise!
You, a young director under the age of twenty, have unlimited potential, and you are not afraid of this rumor, but once it gets out, Nicole is finished!
Tom Cruise is Nicole Kidman's biggest reliance!
Brian Lord frowned, gave Pat Kingsley a warning look, and then said half-jokingly: "Donne, this movie, you must make it well, if this movie is not successful...... That's not going to be easy. ”
This is almost ironic, Nicole Kidman's face is not very good, but in the face of this CAA boss, she is not good to talk much.
Don realized another layer of deep meaning from Brian, and the corners of his confident mouth hooked, "What Tom Cruise can't do, I believe I can!"
