Chapter 910: The Artist's Quirks
Tomorrow, Donn will return to Los Angeles for a major high-level meeting within New Universal to determine the strategic direction of the fashion industry. Then, he would meet with Michael Ovitz of Legendary Pictures to talk about the film's insurance business.
However, his mission in New York is not yet complete, and he will continue to participate in the Tribeca Film Festival and continue to promote "The Departed".
Tonight, he attended the screening of an independent film, Elvis Presley, and then went to Robert Droney's private party.
The party was boring, and Don wasn't interested in dealing with too many people.
It wasn't until he went to the second floor, when he was about to go to the bathroom, that he saw a small supporting character in "Chocolate Elvis".
"Mr. Walker?"
Her voice was soft and thin, a little timid.
Especially her deep blue eyes, lovely appearance and gentle and delicate classical beauty temperament, which makes people feel a little pitiful.
"Winona?"
Don looked at her, paused, and felt a little emotion in his heart.
Creation makes people!
This woman, he hadn't touched before.
Mainly Winona Ryder in previous years, she was too popular, she was different from Julia Roberts's red in commercial films, she was red in the hearts of Hollywood bigwigs.
Throughout the 90s in Hollywood, among female stars, Julia Roberts dominated the commercial film market, and the literary film market was ...... It's Winona Ryder who leads the way.
Don't look at her, she hasn't won an Oscar, but her reputation in the industry has always been very good.
He has worked with great directors such as Tim Burton, Jim Jarmusch, Francis Coppola, Martin Scorsese, Woody Allen, etc., and has also had the opportunity to play opposite actors such as Robert Downey Jr., Johnny Depp, Al Pacino, Ethan Hawke, Daniel Day Lewis, and Richard Gere.
Especially in "400 Years of Shock" and "The Age of Innocence", the performances may be trained by Francis Coppola and Martin Scorsese, and the performance is very amazing.
Commercial film actors value market appeal, and whoever the audience likes will have a high coffee position.
The literary film market is different, what is important is the reputation and connections in the industry, and whoever the seniors in the industry like will have a high level.
It can be said that Winona Ryder in previous years was like a Hollywood princess.
When Don En's strength was weak, he didn't dare to provoke easily.
If she can't keep it, which industry boss is standing behind her.
That all changed two years ago, though.
Winona Ryder went to the mall to steal, was caught, sent to court, and sentenced!
The trial lasted for half a year, and her reputation directly stinked on the street.
Back then, she was the queen heroine of a great master, but now, she can only run to an independent film like "Chocolate Elvis" and play an inconspicuous small role.
This film, the production cost will not exceed $1 million!
The difference in circumstances will inevitably make people sympathetic.
Winona Ryder may have seen the complexity in Donn's eyes and smiled reluctantly, but when the words came to her lips, she couldn't say anything.
"I watched "Chocolate Elvis", the most impressive character in the movie...... It's you. Don smiled, not refusing to talk to her.
Winona Ryder's tears almost fell.
Since the accident, her career has fallen directly to the bottom, and many former Hollywood colleagues and friends have to avoid her. The opportunity to perform is almost gone, and in the past two years, I have only received an appointment for a small production of bad movies like "Chocolate Elvis", which is still a small supporting role.
The bitterness in her heart is known only to her.
Tang En sighed and encouraged her: "It'll get better slowly, don't give up the performance." ”
"Thanks, I ......"
Winona Ryder was about to cover her lips as she spoke, and she was about to cry with tears in her eyes.
Fortunately, this is the second floor, which is the owner's private residence, and ordinary people will not come up recklessly.
Tang En comforted: "I've heard some about you, don't be too anxious, time will smooth all wounds, you have a talent for acting......"
"Sir, help me!"
Winona Ryder almost cried and pleaded.
At this film festival, there were too many people asking Donn for help.
Robert De Niro wanted to make the festival bigger and stronger, and he helped. Lao Mouzi wanted to release "Ambush on All Sides", and he also helped. Others, he either declined one by one or did not respond.
I haven't even seen each other before, so I came to the door with a shy face and asked for help?
Why?
Just because you're talented?
Don't give the!
Hollywood filmmakers, who is not talented?
Unless you can create an opportunity to impress Done, or have a strong network like Martin Scorsese, it's impossible to build on Done's relationship and make it to the top of the ladder.
No opportunities, no connections, no strong funds, no cheating system, want to break through the shackles of the underlying conditions and enter Hollywood?
However, the woman in front of him, Tang En really couldn't say anything to refuse.
She steals, of course it's not.
However, she cannot simply be attributed to the ranks of thieves.
With just a few hundred dollars of cosmetics, she can't afford it?
She will steal, mainly to find ...... A certain kind of unearned pleasure can be called "the artist's eccentricity".
It's better than some artists who like to play with girls under the age of ten, right?
It's really normal for Hollywood filmmakers to have little faults and quirks.
Even if it's Donn, is there less of an artist quirk in him?
Moreover, although Don and Winona Ryder had no contact before, there was already a collision of time and space in the movie.
The original version of "Soul Shifting Girl" starred Winona Ryder.
Because of Donn's intervention, in this life's "Soul Shifter", the heroine became Nicole Kidman, and the supporting actress became Natalie Portman.
From this level, it is not too much to make up for Donne's help.
"Okay, we'll talk later, I'll go to the bathroom first. ”
A living person can't be suffocated by urine, Don said casually, and hurried to the bathroom inside.
However, when Winona Ryder heard this sentence, it changed a little.
"Go to the bathroom?"
Winona Ryder was stunned for a moment.
Looking at the back of Don En hurriedly going to the bathroom, his eyes were a little complicated, and he also flashed with a bit of hope.
Don't be afraid of no requirements.
I'm afraid I won't even give the opportunity to make a request.
……
In the past few months, Harvey Weinstein has been planted, and his younger brother, Quentin Tarantino, has also had a hard time.
Earlier this month, in particular, veteran TV star Bill Cosby was sentenced to eight years in prison by Pennsylvania District Court as the price he paid for sexually abusing women over the past decades.
He also became the first public celebrity to receive legal sanctions under the call of the New Global Feminist Movement!
Bill Cosby is going to jail, will Harvey Weinstein be far away?
If that's all it takes, it won't shake Quentin Tarantino's career too much.
After all, he's a very talented director, and he can sell movies that make money!
As long as they can make money, Hollywood studios will not refuse.
However, problems arise.
Dan Glickman, the newly appointed chairman of the MPAA, sent a fax to all Hollywood studios and agencies, saying that Quentin Tarantino's films are too violent and will have a great negative impact on young people, especially in the international atmosphere of counterterrorism. Quentin's film will not fall within the scope of the next Hollywood tax deduction.
The words are very tactful, to put it bluntly, they want to ban him!
Dan Glickman, who was previously the secretary of the Department of Agriculture and a direct descendant of President George W. Bush, had just taken office when he issued such an absurd and undemocratic decree.
At this year's Cannes Film Festival, Quentin Tarantino, as the president of the jury, presented the Palme d'Or to Fahrenheit 911!
This is a counterattack from the White House!
In his previous life, Harvey Weinstein still existed, and he couldn't protect him.
During the second term of President George W. Bush, Quentin Tarantino did not make a film of his own, and could only cooperate with other directors and apply for projects under the names of other directors to make some films together.
Like Sin City, like Torture Chamber, like Inglourious Basterds.
It wasn't until the black president of the Republican Party came to power and changed the chairman of the MPAA that Quentin Tarantino finally ushered in a new life and came up with his real work "Tango Unchained", and later "The Hateful Eight".
In this life, Harvey Weinstein was taken down early.
Quentin Tarantino's big backer, fell.
This made him lose the opportunity to make movies with the help of other directors.
At this juncture, there is really no director who dares to cooperate with him to make films.
Annoyed MPAA is small, annoyed Don, it's not like words!
Who doesn't know that in the matter of "Fahrenheit 911", Don and Quentin Tarantino had a great conflict?
Quentin Tarantino knew that after a few years of banning, he would be able to come out after this gust of wind.
However, he didn't want to wait, he didn't want to waste his time.
What to do?
At this time, there is only one person who can solve the problem, and that is Donne!
That's the fundamental reason why Quentin Tarantino is here.
"Donne......? He seems to have gone upstairs, so you can look for it. ”
Robert De Niro's confidence is strong enough, and he is naturally not afraid of coming into contact with such a hot character as Quentin Tarantino, and he is very warm to entertain him like a distinguished guest.
Quentin Tarantino thanked him and went upstairs.
In fact, he had just seen Don go upstairs.
The reason why I asked was to get the consent of Robert De Niro, the owner.
went upstairs, went around half a circle, and finally saw Don's figure.
He was walking in the direction of the bathroom.
Behind him, followed by a bewitching beauty.
