Chapter 118: The First Superstar

Due to the UK's tax rebate policy, films must be filmed or partially post-produced in the UK.

The post-production of "Spider-Man", the special effects shots were handled by Industrial Light & Magic, and were carried out in the United States. The rest of the work, such as rendering, dubbing, soundtrack, editing, etc., will be done at David Heyman's Shengri Pictures.

Donn's post-production team, led by Morgan Carrey, who produced a "98" high, has left for the UK to carry out the preliminary rendering and color of the film film.

There are not many special effects shots in the whole movie, and it is a commercial film, so there is no need to pursue the beauty and art of the lens too much, and three or four months of post-production time is enough.

Don will take a 20-day break before heading to the UK to join the group.

On October 29, Christopher Nolan's "Fragments of Memory" was the first to be completed.

On November 3, the filming of "Soul Girl" was also completed, and Sam Mendes, as a young director who was only 34 years old, was unanimously recognized by the crew and actors, and his professionalism and dedication once again showed the reliability of the British.

Two days later, Donn borrowed his private jet from James Cameron and flew to Australia with his girlfriend, Natalie Portman.

Natalie seemed very happy, not only for the first time on a private jet, not only for the first trip to Australia, but also to tell Donn about her experience during the filming of "Soul Shifter".

"The Soul Shifter" is a movie that shows her acting skills in the real sense when she grows up.

"Director Mendes said that my performance was very good, at least I could be nominated for a Golden Globe, or even ...... Can I be nominated for an Oscar!" Natalie said beamingly.

Don smiled, "He's encouraging you and motivating you to perform better." ”

"Not really!" Natalie puffed up her fists, "I'm just good at acting!" Nicole praised me, she said that she couldn't show me at my age!"

"Nicole?" Donn shook his head frequently, "Nicole is my girlfriend, you are my girlfriend, as long as your IQ is normal, she will definitely please you." ”

"You're talking nonsense!" Natalie gritted her teeth angrily and stared at her big eyes, "Donn, why are you so shameless?

Tang En smiled, reached out to hold her in his arms, and whispered in his ear, "When we go to Australia, how can we live?"

"Huh?"

Natalie blushed and stumbled to speak, looking at Don with a little pleading in her eyes, "I...... I'm not ready yet. ”

Don En rolled his eyes, "Don't talk about it, last year, if it wasn't for your mother's obstruction, we would be together." ”

"That'...... That's when I was in love and didn't know anything. Natalie turned her head and pouted.

Donn joked: "Could it be that we are in love with Plato?"

Natalie pursed her lips and raised her head, "Why not?"

Tang En spread his hands calmly, "That night, I can only go to other women's places for the night." ”

"You promised me not to associate with Naomi again!" Natalie frowned.

"I know, isn't there still Nicole?" Donn smiled and lowered his voice, "Besides, there are a lot of beauties in Australia......"

"You...... Don, you bastard!"

Natalie angrily grabbed him at the waist.

……

Nicole Kidman acts as a tour guide and takes Don and Natalie to play at XN for two days, and then finally arrives at the date of an appointment with Mel Gibson.

This is the tradition of the "Australian Gang" in recent years, and one day in November, the actors of the Australian Gang will get together to talk about work, friendship, and the development of Hollywood, and will also help each other to solve some difficulties.

The "helper" is, of course, Mel Gibson.

As an outsider, Donn was able to attend the internal party of the "Australian Gang", and even a personal invitation from Mel Gibson, which everyone understands.

In Hollywood, the "Australian Gang" is an outsider, and Donn's outstanding personality and too young qualifications also make him incompatible with a large number of people.

Ganging up and joining forces is the biggest rule of survival in Hollywood.

Mel Gibson sees Donn's potential and strength, and hopes that the "Australian Gang" can have a better development with such a big tree on its back.

Although the "Australian Gang" and the "British Gang" are both English-speaking countries, the United Kingdom and the United States are brothers, and Australia is only distant relatives.

The "British Gang" has a deep background and influence in Hollywood, and they don't even need to think of external help, they just need internal unity, and they can easily have a place in Hollywood.

But the "Australian Gang" is different, in the golden age of Hollywood, the rejection and contempt for Australia was no less than that of people of color, and it is only in the last decade or two that the situation has improved.

But that's not enough!

How many people are there in the "Australian Gang"? The only people who can be called stars are Mel Gibson and Nicole Kidman. Directors and producers are completely out of the stream.

Mel Gibson has been committed to the development of Australian actors in Hollywood until he discovered Donn, a young director.

His appearance changed Nicole Kidman's past box office poison and lace queen's style, and almost made Nicole the top actress in Hollywood.

Mel Gibson is on his own, he needs to find outside help, and Donn is the best option for him!

Don naturally has his own little calculations, Mel Gibson's attraction is on the one hand, and the huge potential of the "Australian Gang" is also the object of his wooing.

Don is not of Jewish descent, has no background, no classmates, no qualifications, and he can get to where he is today, completely relying on his own strength, and the help from the outside world is insignificant.

And if there is a "Australian Gang" behind it, it will definitely be a big support for Donne.

The "Australian Gang" and Don cooperate to rely on each other and help each other, which is definitely the best of both worlds.

Natalie is smart, she sensed Mel Gibson's intentions early on and agreed to his party invitation in Donn's place.

At the same time, she is quiet, innocent and cute, like a little girl who can't understand everything, and only shows her admiration for this big star. After all, Natalie's Jewish identity is likely to cause concern for Mel Gibson.

When she arrived at Mel Gibson's estate, Natalie exclaimed, "Wow", "It's so big here!"

The butler smiled, "Miss Portman, if you're interested, you can go hunting in the jungle over there another day." ”

"Is that Gibson Manor too?" Natalie's eyes widened.

"Of course, standing here, everything you can see, belongs to Gibson Manor. A little pride flashed between the butler's eyebrows.

Tang En took her hand and said with a smile: "Why don't we come to Australia to buy a manor in the future?"

Natalie pursed her lips and said with a smirk, "I think it's better to buy a estate like this in California." ”

Donn sweated violently.

Australia is vast and sparsely populated, and even in XN, the cost of such a large estate will not exceed $10 million.

Available in California...... It's like Michael Jackson's dream manor, which is far less big than the current manor, but it is worth hundreds of millions of dollars!

"Poof!"

Natalie gave him a delicate look, "Teasing you, let's go, the figure at the front door...... It seems to be Mr. Gibson. ”

It was a little dark, and it was blurry and I couldn't see clearly.

When Don and Natalie walked to the fountain of the manor, they saw a tall figure walking over.

Don had never seen Mel Gibson in person, and he could tell from the other party's figure that the comer was ...... It is none other than the number one superstar of Hollywood today - Mel Gibson!

"Welcome, welcome, Director Walker, your presence is my greatest honor!"

Mel Gibson took a few quick steps and stretched out his right hand from a distance, showing great enthusiasm and politeness.

Don En laughed, "Mel, it's too outward, just call me Don Grace." ”

Mel Gibson laughed heartily and gave Don a warm hug, like an old friend for many years, and did not forget to snub Natalie, "Miss Portman, thank you for your help." ”

Natalie was very reserved and ladylike, bent down in her skirt, and smiled slightly, "Mr. Gibson, it is our honor to be invited by you. ”

Don glanced at Natalie in surprise.

This little girl is really on the stage.
