Chapter 84: The Three Heroines
"Today is my last,
Put it in words
They are outdated
There is no point
It doesn't work anymore
Let's lose consciousness together, baby
Let's lose consciousness together
Tonight is the last time
……”
Something was not quite right with the song, and the lyrics were getting more and more excessive, and Don quickly stopped little Taylor's singing, applauding and encouraging, "Perfect! Miss Swift, you sing so well, just like Madonna!"
"Really?" little Taylor's eyes lit up, "and can we continue to perform Harry Potter?"
Don smiled, "Of course, you can go on performing forever!"
"Wow!"
The little actors finally cheered excitedly, and little Taylor enjoyed the praise of his friends in every possible glory, and he couldn't be happy.
Don looked at her mother, Andrea Swift, with a solemn face, "Mrs. Swift, with all due respect, Taylor is not fit to perform. ”
"Huh?"
Andrea Swift was immediately disappointed.
On the other side is a big Hollywood director, and he is not optimistic about little Taylor, so I am afraid she really has no acting talent.
"Don't be disappointed, though. Donn smiled, "She has a good timbre and a beautiful singing voice." And she can write poetry, which means that she has a rich imagination and writing skills, and she has absolutely no problem writing songs. ”
Andrea Swift didn't react for a moment.
Head Wilson looked at Donn in surprise, "Mr. Walker, you mean...... Can Taylor move into music?"
Tang En nodded solemnly, "That's right, she has the strength to create, as long as she cultivates her heart, she will definitely become an outstanding country female singer." Does she know how to play a guitar?"
Andrea was a little embarrassed, "I haven't learned. ”
"Arrange a teacher for her. Don thought for a moment, took out a business card, and handed it over, "Mrs. Swift, this is my personal number, if you need help, just contact me, even if you take her to Los Angeles to study music, I am willing to help you." ”
"Director Walker, this ......"
Andrea was a little flattered and couldn't believe it.
Natalie frowned, hesitated, and walked over, "Let's come to New York, it's close to Pennsylvania, and there are a lot of record companies." My mom is an agent and she should have some connections in this area. ”
Andrea was so excited that she didn't know what to say, "Thank you, thank you so much, Director Walker, Miss Natalie, you are all good people." ”
……
After leaving.
Don put his arm around Natalie's waist and chuckled softly, "Sometimes I think you're quite mature. ”
Natalie shook her head, "Taylor is too young, still a little girl, even if you are not afraid of rumors, but this is not the same as an adult female star." ”
Don nodded, "I understand. ”
"It's mainly about Michael Jackson, it's too big. Natalie sighed, in fact, people with a little IQ understand this truth, the more famous people are, the more right and wrong.
"He was falsely accused!"
"I know. ”
……
The plot of "Wedding Aoke" is more complex than "My Grand Greek Wedding", with more scene transitions. After several discussions, the production department gave Danny Boyle a budget of $18 million.
The film also started filming smoothly as scheduled.
On November 20, the North American box office of "My Grand Greek Wedding" officially exceeded the $200 million mark!
Of the 316 films that have been released in 1998, this is the first and only film to surpass $200 million at the North American box office!
"The Peerless Tribulation", which was widely favored by the media, currently has a North American box office of 196 million, while "Saving Private Ryan" is only $180 million, and if it wants to break through the $200 million mark, it must rely on the popularity of the Oscar season to re-emerge.
The success of "My Grand Greek Wedding" has strengthened the momentum of Down Pictures and increased the pressure on Marvel.
On December 1, the two sides began their third negotiations.
Two Marvel shareholders continued to back down, agreeing to sell 80% of their shares for $70 million.
Tang En Pictures had a strong attitude, and even gave up the opportunity to bargain and refused directly.
Done's attitude is very clear, he has only one request, full acquisition!
Everything else is!
With the widespread praise and high recognition of Donn and "My Grand Greek Wedding" by the media during this time, the two shareholders and management of Marvel will definitely break out more fierce contradictions.
Don is not in a hurry, he has time.
Ten days later, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (the jury of the Golden Globe Awards) announced the nominees for the 56th Golden Globe Awards at the Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills.
"Shakespeare's Love History", which has just been released in North America for a week, became the biggest winner, with six nominations.
"My Grand Greek Wedding" also received five nominations, including Best Picture in a Musical Comedy, Best Actress in a Musical Comedy, Best Screenplay, Best Director, and Best Film Score, the same number of nominations as "Saving Private Ryan".
To be honest, Donn was a bit of a surprise, he never thought he would be nominated for Best Director.
After all, it's a comedy genre, and except for Woody Allen, I'm afraid no one can win an award for comedy.
So Don didn't have any hope for that.
He is more concerned about Nicole Kidman, can she win the award?
In this year's movie, the selection of Best Actress is very problematic, and there is no strong actor who has come up with a crushing performance.
Among the actresses who have been famous for many years, only Nicole Kidman has good acting skills, but it is a comedy.
And Cate Blanchett, who performed amazingly in "Elizabeth", and Gwynness Paltrow, who performed superbly in "Shakespeare's Love History", are both young and underqualified.
The rest, such as Elle Waiti, the heroine of "The Art of Climax", have enough qualifications, but their acting skills always seem to be a little bit lacking.
Historically, this year's Oscar was successfully won by Gwynness Paltrow and was named the most watery Oscar actress.
But what's the solution?
This year's actress really didn't come up with too decent works, and her only opponent, Cate Blanchett, was born in Australia and had less qualifications than her.
However, with the appearance of Donn, Nicole Kidman successfully killed.
It's just that the type of movie she starred in, which is very problematic.
Sure enough, with the announcement of the Golden Globe nominations, the other three of the five major film awards in the United States have also announced their nominations one after another.
There are big differences in the nominations of the National Film Critics Award, the Radio Film Critics Award, and the Screen Actors Guild Award, but what they have in common is that in the nominations for Best Actress, the names of Nicole Kidman, Cate Blanchett, and Gwynness Paltrow all appeared.
As the vane of the Oscars, with the announcement of the nominations for these four major awards, the whole United States has also understood.
This year's Academy Award for Best Actress will be born among Nicole Kidman, Cate Blanchett and Gwynness Paltrow.
This also indicates that Nicole Kidman will definitely get an Oscar nomination, the first nomination in her life!
"Don, I want to thank you for that. Nicole Kidman rarely took the initiative to make a phone call to Done.
Don smiled, "Nicole, you know, I don't want thanks. ”
Nicole Kidman was silent for a moment, "I signed the agreement. ”
Tang En was stunned, "What agreement?"
"Divorce Settlement!"
Nicole's voice was calm and cold, but Don was taken aback when he heard it, and hurriedly shouted, "Nicole, the news must not be announced!"
