Where there's Donn, there's never a shortage of attention.

There has been a rumor in the Hollywood industry that Donn, who has shot a new movie every year for the past few years, will not be in charge this year, but he will be a producer, making a film himself, which is a retro song and dance film, codenamed "A Gorgeous City".

There are many people in the industry who have guessed the result, this song and dance film is the famous musical "Chicago"!

On this day, Don Pictures will hold an audition at the Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills.

Don is the most talked-about figure in Hollywood at the moment, and it is such a high-profile occasion, even if it is not disclosed to the outside world, it will not be able to reach the eyes and ears of people with a heart.

Early that morning, outside the Hilton Hotel, there was a large circle of reporters.

The audition was open only to the industry's biggest names, with producer Done Walker and director Rob Marshall personally involved in identifying the film's two leading actresses.

It is said that well-known actresses such as Madonna Siccone, Julia Roberts, Nicole Kidman, Winona Ryder, and Gordy Horn will participate in the audition in person.

If Rob Marshall is a rookie director, it is impossible to have such a big face, at most interview some small actors for small roles, such well-known actors, it is impossible for him to choose and comment on them arbitrarily.

But with the addition of Donn, it's different.

Although Tang En is a big director of commercial films, the literary films he supervised are also very good!

Last year's two films, "Drug Network" and "Soul Girl", shined the entire Oscars.

Although judging from his age, Don En makes a song and dance film, which is a bit nondescript, but now the whole Hollywood understands that Don is a movie genius and must not look at him with normal eyes!

This summer, the two films "Unsinkable" and "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" produced by Don are still working together to sweep the box office market.

Auditions officially began at 9 a.m., and at 8 a.m., Don appeared in the underground parking lot of the Hilton Hotel, accompanied by second producer Kathleen Kennedy, casting director Glenn Fierro, and secretary Ella Fisher.

Unexpectedly, there were media reporters waiting here for a long time, not one, but more than 20 densely packed together!

The bodyguards opened the way, but Tang En did not resist the enthusiastic reporters after all, especially the questions of many people, he was quite interested.

"That's it, one question per person, time is limited, let's cooperate and answer quickly. ”

Tang En's demeanor is still the same, and his sunny and smiling appearance gives people a very comfortable feeling.

People's hearts are flesh and blood, everyone is human, and if you understand each other's work difficulties, you will naturally be able to cooperate well.

Ladies come first, and the female reporter of The Hollywood Reporter was the first to ask: "Mr. Walker, is this movie really the rumored musical "Chicago"?"

Donn smiled, "Looks like you're well-informed. ”

When all the reporters heard this, their eyes lit up instantly.

It seems that with the success of "Unsinkable" and "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", the ratings of "Six Feet Under" are rising, and Don is in a good mood, maybe he can ask for some big news today.

"Donn, I heard that Nicole Kidman has been set as the heroine, is this rumor accurate?" asked a second question from a reporter from Film Review.

"Fake!" Donn shook his head, "As we all know, Nicole is a good friend of mine, but she's working on another Donn Pictures film, "All the Time," and her name isn't in the casting plan for "Chicago." ”

"Mr. Walker, the golden age of musical and dance films has long passed, what is the reason why you chose to make such a film? Is it to curry favor with the Oscars?" the reporter of "Entertainment Weekly" asked a somewhat harsh question.

"If you make a movie with a certain purpose, the result must be a failure, and this is true for commercial films, and the same is true for literary films. The film is a flower plucked from the seeds of the passion and hard work of all the crew, and no one knows whether the flowers will be red or blue. As for why I made a song and dance film, because a song and dance film represents an era in Hollywood, a golden age! I don't want everyone to forget history. ”

Donn's reply was rigorous, and he had long since passed the period when he needed to make a big splash in front of the media and then make a big story to attract traffic.

Now, his name is Traffic!

"Mr. Walker, I heard that you spent $80 million to buy the North American TV rights to Band of Brothers, is this really a horse?"

"It's true. ”

"Oh God......! How is this possible? It's just a TV series, $80 million, enough to shoot a commercial blockbuster!"

"I'm sorry, that's the next question. This lady, you can ask questions. ”

The beautiful reporter of "The New Yorker" smiled sweetly, "Director Walker, the director of this movie...... Oh, I mean, the director of "Chicago" is a complete newcomer, can he really meet your requirements and shoot beautiful shots?"

Donn laughed: "Rob is very famous on Broadway, he is a good choreographer, and he is also a good director. He filmed the musical comedy "Annie", which made a great impression. I believe that with the help of a mature crew, he will be able to successfully complete the filming of "Chicago". ”

Subsequently, two more gossip tabloids inquired about Donne's private life.

"Donn, someone said you're living with Charlize Theron, is that true?"

"Nonsense!"

"And have you ever been in a relationship with Miss Theron?"

"Nonsense, we're just ordinary friends. ”

The reporter of the "Los Angeles Times" frowned and quickly changed the topic, this kind of meaningless question is simply a waste of time, the gossip tabloids just don't go into the stream, and the level of reporters is too poor!

"Mr. Walker, some time ago, a series of heavy topics broke in the media, saying that you were short in the stock market and lost nearly $1 billion! Can you make a simple statement about this?"

Don looked at him deeply and muttered, "I don't have anything to explain about this, as of today, I am holding my opinion. In economics, there is a term called the 'lipstick effect'. In other words, when the economy is in recession, the sales of gadgets such as lipstick will grow explosively, and everyone's consumption in the entertainment industry will increase greatly. ”

"In the past year or two, the film market has been very good, and last year's "Spider-Man" grossed more than $1.2 billion, second only to "Titanic". It's all because "Spider-Man" is good? Not really, it's because of the chain reaction caused by the Nasdaq bubble crisis, people no longer engage in high-cost entertainment activities, and watching movies is the cheapest and most enjoyable consumer experience. ”

"This year's "Unsinkable" and "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" are even more so. It's hard to imagine two blockbuster films in one summer, why? Extrapolating from the 'lipstick effect', it is reasonable to conclude that despite the trillion-dollar tax cuts in the country, the economy is still sluggish. ”

"I'm a financial layman, but from a cinematic point of view, I'm an absolute insider. I believe in my profession, I firmly believe in my judgment, the film has given me everything, and I am willing to accept the macroeconomic view that the film has given me. Therefore, I think the current U.S. economy is a bearish era. ”

The reporters present were also financial laymen, and Done's words sounded very reasonable, but what they heard was another deep meaning.

Soon, a reporter reacted and exclaimed: "Mr. Walker, do you still want to short the stock market?"

Don smiled slightly, "Why not?"

"You've lost $1 billion, aren't you afraid of going bankrupt?"

When Tang En heard this, he shook his head disapprovingly, and said sincerely: "The movie has given me everything, and I am willing to give up everything for the sake of the movie." Again, this is the judgment given to me by the movie, and I will stick to it!"

The reporters looked at each other a few times, and everyone gasped.

This Donn Walker, what a madman!

In Hollywood, there are a lot of big names who like to go to Las Vegas to play a few hands, and it is often revealed that someone has lost millions of dollars.

But Done Walker never broke the news like this.

In this respect, Donn is a moral exemplar.

But I didn't expect that Tang En didn't like to gamble?

It's because the field in Las Vegas is too small!

Donn's place of spending money is not a small place like Las Vegas, it is NASDAQ!

He is playing a large-scale operation that can easily cost hundreds of millions of dollars!

Terrible!
