Chapter 482: The Day After Tomorrow
Oscar Week has a lot of parties!
Film companies, brokerage companies, media, fashion magazines, and related institutions will hold various forms of parties one after another, some of which are to celebrate and warm up, some are to sell tickets to make money, some are for the promotion and marketing of films, and some are purely for the sake of popularity.
On the night of the Oscars, there were also more than a dozen parties.
The most famous are three – the Oscar Official Party, the Vanity Fair Party and the Youjia Pictorial Party.
As the name suggests, the official Oscars party is organized by the Academy, and after the awards ceremony, winners and nominees are invited to participate. However, Oscar is too old, and the party atmosphere is ...... It's very depressing, everyone can't have fun, and the stars participate in this party just to go through the motions and express their gratitude to the Oscars.
When you show up, most people rush to the Vanity Fair party, which is the most important thing of the night!
The Vanity Fair Party, organized by Vanity Fair magazine, coexists with fashion and art.
And unlike the Oscars, the Vanity Fair party will invite many celebrities, wealthy businessmen and dignitaries who have nothing to do with the movie to participate, and regardless of nationality, as long as they have strong economic strength and sufficient social status, they can participate.
This is also the reason why big stars love Vanity Fair parties and can make friends with the elite of high society.
Female stars walk the Oscar red carpet, to match the image of the Oscar, the style should not be too exaggerated, and the dress should not be too revealing. But the red carpet of the Vanity Fair party is different, and it is a key occasion for female stars to compete for beauty.
As for the excellent family pictorial party...... It's a viewing party.
In other words, this party will be held at the beginning of the Oscars, inviting some stars and veteran filmmakers who did not participate in the Oscars to get together and watch the Oscars ceremony together.
In this process, there will also be a "guess the prize" link, according to the odds, a small bet is pleasant.
This is also one of the highlights of the Youjia Pictorial Party.
In addition to these three well-known parties, there are many parties on Oscar night, except for individual celebration parties, most of which are charity-themed parties.
After Donn and Natalie left the official Oscar party, they went to a charity party about AIDS, stayed for 15 minutes, donated $300,000, and then rushed to the Sunset Tower Hotel in West Hollywood to attend the Vanity Fair party.
Tonight, Don won two gold statues, and Natalie got one, which can be described as a big winner.
When I arrived at the Vanity Fair party, I found that there were already many celebrities here, and basically all the Oscar winners and nominees were present.
The two didn't even change their clothes, they were still the same as when they walked the Oscar red carpet, Natalie's long black dress, among many colorful female stars and female models, was slightly conservative and inconspicuous.
But it doesn't matter anymore.
People rely on clothing?
At the level of Donn, there is no need to use external decoration to show taste.
Even if he attends in casual attire, he is destined to be the focus of the whole party!
Not to mention Natalie, she's the Oscar queen tonight!
Significant!
Don rejected seven or eight people who came forward to climb in a row, and this one, finally unable to refuse, was his bad friend - Leonardo DiCaprio.
"Wow, Nat, I didn't expect you to win!" Leonardo's eyes lit up.
Natalie smiled shyly, "Put it away." ”
Leonardo let out a long sigh, "When will I get the little golden man?"
Not to mention the little golden man, he has not even been nominated for an Oscar now.
Don said: "Aren't you working with Tom Hanks on "Get Away"? Don't laugh every day, learn more from others to learn acting." ”
Leonardo pouted disapprovingly, "When will my movie be released?"
"New York Vice", which was originally planned to be released last year, has not yet been released due to the impact of the terrorist attack.
"Don't worry about it, this film...... You can't get a nomination. Don waved his hand and directly judged him.
Leonardo was disappointed.
At this time, another familiar face approached, "Don, Natalie, hehe, congratulations on winning the award, oh, Leon is also there!"
"Thank you, Director Emmerich. ”
Natalie naturally couldn't be as casual as Donn and Leonardo, bent down slightly, smiled sweetly, and was elegant and serene.
Leonardo joked, "Roland, you hair...... No, the few movies you have made have done well at the box office, are you so worried?"
Tang En also chimed in, "Young man with a white head!"
Roland Emmerich smiled, "I'm still a teenager, my age is the sum of your ages." ”
It's past 11 o'clock now, and the whole party won't last long, especially for a busy person like Donn, who doesn't have time to ruffle.
Roland Emmerich said bluntly, "Donne, your lecture at USC...... I didn't listen to it, but I read the speech, and it was very good, and I especially agree with your views on commercial films. ”
"Oh?" Don looked at him deeply, a little amused, "You don't have a good project, do you?"
Roland Emmerich said: "Indeed, I read a book called "The Coming Global Superstorm" some time ago, which is particularly inspiring. You said that now is the era of special effects, and I want to make a movie with full special effects. ”
Tang En nodded, it can basically be determined that the other party's project is the famous disaster film masterpiece - "The Day After Tomorrow".
"You can just go to Bill, huh?"
Roland Emmerich and Bill McNick have a good relationship.
"The rights to 'The Coming Global Superstorm' are in Twentieth Century Fox, Bill ......," Roland Emmerich shrugged, "and you have to come forward." ”
Don understood as soon as he heard it.
Before that, Roland Emmerich and Bill McNick must have communicated a long time ago, and the latter didn't want to dig into the corner of his old club, so he pushed the task to Donn.
More importantly, Don has a lot more face than him!
Bill McNick to contact, Twentieth Century Fox will definitely not let go of this opportunity and will step in the project "The Day After Tomorrow".
Roland Emmerich was one of the five major commercial film directors in Hollywood in the 90s with the final editing rights!
Every movie he made was a big hit.
Twentieth Century Fox definitely wants to take this opportunity to participate in the investment and get a piece of the pie.
But Don came forward differently.
He could have said the result bluntly – he was going to buy the rights to the book "The Coming Global Superstorm."
Can Fox Film refuse?
The corners of Don's mouth lifted and he nodded, "By the way, you probably don't know." Tangen Pictures has just made business adjustments, and in the future, Tangen Pictures will only produce commercial blockbusters with an investment of more than 100 million yuan, and it will be invested and operated separately, and the explosive strategy will be implemented in an all-round way. Small- and medium-cost films will be handed over to other film studios to operate. This year, Don Pictures has invested in two blockbusters, "National Treasure" and "Harry Potter 2", and your "The Day After Tomorrow" will be the third! You can prepare for this project with all your might, and I'll take care of the copyright matters. ”
This breath!
This hand!
This boldness!
Even Roland Emmerich, who is used to making commercial blockbusters, secretly admires Donn's courage.
A blockbuster film with an investment of more than 100 million US dollars, without talking about the details of the project, and the investment is determined by saying the name of the movie, which is really strong!
Today's young people are amazing!
Roland Emmerich laughed, "The idea is pretty much final, Bill...... It's also recognized, hehe, I wonder if our best actress is interested in starring?"
This is an obvious overture.
It has been rumored in the circle that when Don invests in movies, he will give the director great autonomy, and he will also dictatorically accept the heroine.
Natalie smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, Director Emmerich, I want to concentrate on my studies now, in the next year or two...... I don't want to act in movies anymore. ”
"Oh, that's a shame. ”
Roland Emmerich was even more amazed.
The actress of the Oscars!
It is when it is in full swing, with Natalie's current fame, the salary can be called 15 million US dollars, or even 20 million US dollars!
But she chose to study at this time, which is really a big wonder.
But then again, she's Don's girlfriend and must have no interest in money.
Tang En bowed his head and said, "She wants to study...... But do you know Scarlett Johansson, a very good actress. ”
Roland Emmerich was slightly stunned, I hadn't heard of it!
Tang En waved his hand, "Next time I introduce you to you, let her be the heroine, she has a good image and good acting skills, she is the best candidate...... Oh no, she's going to make "Lost in Translation" in the summer, another movie, I'm afraid she won't be able to catch up. In this way, choose Abby Cornish, she is a very good actress, with a good image and good acting skills, and she is the best candidate. ”
Roland Emmerich opened his mouth and almost burst out laughing.
This Don is really as rumored.
Especially in front of his girlfriend, he dares to be so presumptuous...... Hey?
Natalie looked demure.
……
On the way back, Don hugged Natalie tightly in the car and whispered to her.
"Let's all talk about it!"
"Nope. ”
Donn whispered, "You forgot at the award ceremony, as long as you won the award, you agreed to be with Scarlett." ”
Natalie's face flushed, "I didn't, I just didn't." ”
"That's not fun. ”
"Not in the first place. ”
"Baby, be nice, okay?"
"Not really. ”
Tang En was very helpless, "You are all actresses, Scarlett is not even a second-tier star, don't be afraid of her." ”
Natalie snorted, "Who's afraid of her? I just don't want to, I don't want to ......."
"Don't worry, it's fine. Or...... Let's try it, just once, okay? If you don't like it, you won't do it next time. ”
"Why are you so bad?"
"Good ~" ()
