Chapter 416: Open the Knife and Establish Authority!
This is the first hot schedule for the release of new films after the "911 incident", and the competition is no less fierce than that of the summer file.
Although the director of "A Beautiful Mind" is Donne, this is a literary film with a slow plot, even if it has the golden sign of "Done Walker", it has won all the trust of the cinema chain.
The number of openings of this film is only 1,226, and more film schedules and release scales are given to commercial films such as "Silent Vitality", "Supermodel", and "Heart of Atlantis".
But the slogan for "A Beautiful Mind" is beautiful: "Repair Your Wounded Heart!"
In this special time period, the film's film income will definitely make a breakthrough.
Taking a step back, even if the box office returns are not high in a short period of time, it doesn't matter.
Literary films are different from commercial films and have the attributes of long-term screening. Maybe it is difficult to enter the top 3 or top 5 on the weekly box office list, but if the timeline is extended, especially during the awards season, the box office ability of literary films will be reflected.
"A Beautiful Mind" is a commercial film dressed as a literary film, tugging at the heartstrings of fans everywhere, and it is logical that the high box office is natural.
Especially at this special time.
It's the weekend, and after half an hour of a simple workout in the gym, Donn sees Penelope Pucruz and Charlize Theron, sitting on the couch with fun curled up and reading the newspaper.
Don couldn't help but laugh, "Woke up so early? It seems that my combat strength last night was still not enough." ”
Next, the delicate white eyes of two big beauties were ushered in.
"Everyone's praise for "A Beautiful Mind", one-sided praise! Do you want to listen to it?"
Charlize Theron flicked a newspaper in his hand at him.
Donn waved his hand, "That's expected! I need to call the CEO of New Line Pictures!"
Charlize Theron looked puzzled, "It's the weekend, do you still have to work?"
Don stretched, "It's not for your business?"
"My business?" Charlize Theron was even more strange.
Because of Brett Ratner, of course!
Now that Don has made up his mind to do this kid, he will never give up halfway!
There are many names on his blacklist, but they are all big names, and they can't be won overnight.
In the short term, the most likely one is Jerry Bruckheimer.
Unexpectedly, Brett Ratner suddenly jumped out and wanted to become the first sword soul under Donn's anger!
Donn's internal ban on Brett Ratner is something that most studios will respond to.
Anyway, everyone is not familiar with Brett Ratner, and they are pushing the boat with the water.
But New Line Pictures is different, Brett Ratner used to be an MTV director, and he is a young talent picked up by New Line Pictures, especially the "Rush Hour" series, which has made a lot of money.
Bob Shea is at the helm of New Line Pictures, and the prerequisite for getting independent operating rights from Warner Bros. is to have a strong track record.
"Rush Hour" ...... It's about his position!
"Donne, Bright's business...... I know him, he has a strong passion for work and film talent, if he offends in anything, you can say it bluntly, and I will ask him to make amends for you. ”
Listening to Bob Shay's perfunctory, Don secretly sneered.
It has been many days since he banned Brett Ratner in the circle, and most of the people in Hollywood have gotten the news. Bob Shea, as the president of New Line Pictures, will definitely deal with it as soon as possible and make an appointment with Brett Ratner.
Now, Don has called in person, and Bob Shea is still pretending to be dizzy, obviously not intending to give him face.
Tang En said lightly: "Bob, whether it is a misunderstanding or not, you and I both know it in our hearts, there is no need to pretend to be confused! I Tang En is young, but the most intolerable thing is for others to step on my face!"
Bob Shay's old face sank when he heard this, this Don is too domineering and unreasonable!
How many people's faces have you stepped on in Hollywood? Brett Ratner is just a momentary tongue, and you just rush to kill them all, too ruthless, right?
Bob Shea pondered for a moment before sighing, "Don, let's do it, I'll be an intermediary and let him make amends for you, give you a guarantee, and your ...... in the future Your man, I promise he won't dare to offend in the slightest!"
"It's too late!" Don said in a calm tone, but quite aggressively, "To put it arrogantly, I am a bit thin-faced in Hollywood, and he is a small director who is not a climate, just like calling at me, this kind of unhealthy trend must be strictly curbed! Even if it is an example of killing chickens and monkeys, we must set a standard and set a rule for the newcomers in Hollywood in the future!"
Bob Shea took a cold breath.
Listen to Donne's tone...... It's really going to be a knife on Bright Ratner.
But this obviously does not belong to the interests of New Line Pictures.
"Bright is a contracted producer at New Line Pictures and is a talented director. Bob Shea's tone was obviously soft, even a little begging, "Don, you are also a big man in Hollywood, and you know the contribution of a talented director to Hollywood." I hope you can give Hollywood a chance in terms of brand value. ”
Don flatly refused, "This can't be! Bob, you should know the current situation, I have already said hello to many Hollywood giants through Legendary Pictures. At this time, I let him go, isn't that a slap in the face?"
Bob Shea is a little angry, he is also a senior in the industry, he single-handedly founded the independent film company New Line Pictures, and many peers in the industry are polite when they see him, and he is a little thin.
Being able to run an independent film company in the oligopoly environment of Hollywood, even if it was later acquired by Warner, is an achievement.
But in this call, he was already soft enough and showed goodwill, but Tang En was still unmoved, and his tone was resolute, unquestionable!
Don't give him face at all!
Bob Shea couldn't help but say, "Even if New Line Pictures fires him, it will be cheaper for others, Disney is not afraid of you!"
When Don heard this, he couldn't help but laugh, but the laughter became colder and colder, "Bob, are you teasing me?"
Bob Shea said, "I'm just stating a fact. ”
Don said coldly: "Truth or irony, I just need an attitude from New Line Pictures now! Ratner, what do you want to do with that bastard?"
Bob Shea was silent for a while before he slowly said, "Bright has a contract with New Line Pictures, and he is an executive in the production department. ”
Don didn't appear in the scene of the enlarged rage, his face was flat, and his voice was calm, "Oh, in that case...... Then let's do it ourselves. ”
……
Charlize Theron wore a shiny silver-gray hip-wrapping skirt, a blue jacket draped over her shoulders, and a big black super, charming and handsome.
Together with Donn, she walked into a top club affiliated with the Hollywood Hotel.
This club is usually mainly a place for Hollywood stars and many celebrities and rich people to socialize and communicate, with sufficient security guarantees and confidentiality measures.
So Charlize Theron will graciously take Donn's arm.
It's just that her emotions ...... A little nervous, a little apprehensive.
"Donn, is this necessary?"
Even Charlize Theron, the client, felt that Don had gone too far.
Breett Ratner did say some foul language in front of her that day, but he didn't do anything. She complained to Donn, just trying to get him to help her breathe.
When I see Brett Ratner again later, I can straighten my back.
Unexpectedly, Don En came directly to cut the grass and eradicate the roots!
He's going to get Brett Ratner out of Hollywood once and for all!
In Charlize Theron's view, this is a big fuss.
Bright Ratner did say at the time, "I want to taste Donn's woman", but men, as soon as their hearts come up, it is easy for their brains to heat up and say a lot of irrational things.
Don En's ruthless attack is inevitably too ruthless.
However, how could she, a woman, understand Don's pattern and ambitions?
Viacom's Lei Shidong stepped on Donn's face in "Six Feet Under", and Comcast's Brian Roberts also secretly stumbled Donn in the development of the STA television network.
They are all in power in giant companies, media tycoons, and Don has to endure it.
But Bright Ratner, a second- or third-tier rookie director, dares to step on Donn's face like this, that is, he has eaten the guts of an ambitious leopard!
Sommer Lei Shidong can't handle it, and Brian Roberts is not easy to handle, a young director who doesn't enter the stream, if he puts up with it anymore, where will he put his face?
When stinky insoles?
Joke!
The matter of Comcast is not known within Hollywood, but it is an indisputable fact that "Six Feet Under" is being broadcast on Shotime TV.
Although Tang En Pictures and Viacom both kept a low profile about this, those who were interested could see at a glance that Lei Shidong shocked Don Ern!
At this time, if Tang En didn't show a bit of ruthless, domineering, and tough methods, and take a break in Hollywood, maybe how many ghosts, ghosts, snakes, and gods would jump out to make trouble.
This time, Donn is going to take Brett Ratner to make a move!
He can bow his head to Lei Shidong, but you ...... There is no capital to ridicule!
Especially a little guy like Bright Ratner!
"If this is placed in ancient times, it is an offense to Tianyan, I will treat him for a big crime of disrespect, and he will be beheaded at noon, as it should be!"
Don didn't care if Charlize Theron could understand or not, put his arm around her, and walked towards the reserved private room.
Inside the private room, the environment is elegant, refreshing and pleasant, and there is even an artificial rockery and a small waterfall where tropical fish of different colors swim.
There were two people who had already stood up eagerly to greet them.
One is Kent Richards, the production assistant for the "Rush Hour" series, and the other is David Anthony, the casting director of the "Rush Hour" series. ()
