Chapter 563: I Want to Act in a Movie!

It's time for the annual Golden Globes again.

After a big battle last year, the current Golden Globe Awards are like his own home to Donne.

Generally speaking, at the Golden Globe Awards dinner, each table is a crew.

But Donn is different, although he is only the producer of "Chicago", but "New York Vice", "The Pianist", and "All the Time" are all produced by New Universal.

Donn held Rachel Weisz in his left hand and Catherine Zeta-Jones in his right hand, making a high-profile appearance.

Then, he went directly to the table of the crew of "New York Vice" and sat down.

"Hey, Martin, I feel like you've got a show this time!" Donn sat between Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese.

In the list of nominees for Best Director, there is no Roman Polanski!

With the artistic level of "The Pianist", looking at the entire film history, it is an absolute leader.

If Don didn't know the inside story, he would have thought there were other tricks in it.

No way, this year's competition is too fierce.

Roman Polanski is a foreigner after all, and now the Golden Globe Awards urgently need to curry favor with American filmmakers, save their reputation, and rebuild their image.

Martin Scorsese shrugged, "But I'm responsible for the box office. ”

It has been more than 4 months since the release of "New York Storm", and the box office in North America is only 72 million US dollars, and the overseas box office barely exceeds 100 million US dollars. That's a tiny fraction of a big-budget film with an investment of $120 million.

Tang Enman waved his hand nonchalantly, "It's vulgar! Art matters, it's vulgar to talk about money! Besides, isn't it awards season now? Maybe the box office can still improve?"

Martin Scorsese smiled awkwardly, knowing that it was a comforting word.

No matter how good the awards season is, it is impossible to make up for such a big shortfall.

"Don, if you still believe me, I'm willing to work with New Universal for the next movie. ”

Martin Scorsese, like Clint Eastwood, has the honor and responsibility of a veteran director.

In his previous life, Martin Scorsese took the project "New York Vice" and looked for investment everywhere, and in the end, only Harvey Weinstein agreed to take over and wrote a check for $100 million.

As a result, "New York Vice" was a hit during the awards season, but it lost at the box office.

In this case, Martin Scorsese collaborated with Harvey Weinstein on the film "The Aviator", and after helping Miramax make money back, he changed the mountain.

In this life, Donn invested in "New York Storm", the box office was far less than expected, and Martin Scorsese had the idea of long-term cooperation with New Universal.

Don smiled and said, "Yes! Martin, you are a director I respect very much! I can put my words here, as long as it is a movie you want to make, no matter what subject matter, any project, I will invest!"

Leonardo slapped the table and exclaimed: "Heroic!"

Martin Scorsese said: "I have a big eye on a project that tells the story of the legendary Howard Hughes called 'The Aviator,' and I'm going to continue to work with Leon. ”

Leonardo smiled and lowered his voice, "Donn, in fact, in my opinion, it is more suitable for you to play Hughes! Rich, legendary, wider, owns a top film company, and has a private life...... In short, you're a copy of Howard Hughes!"

Don coughed lightly, but his heart skipped a beat.

He hasn't directed a film since filming "A Beautiful Mind".

The main thing is to make a movie, which is too complicated and long, from the preliminary preparation, to the mid-term shooting, to the post-production, it is inseparable from him.

Now that there is so much business in New Global, he is so busy that he simply does not have so much time.

But...... If it's just as an actor, it's much easier.

Don doesn't want to be a pure businessman, that's too boring!

It's like Howard Hughes, who is already a super-rich man, and he has to go to Hollywood to be a producer, fly planes, and play movies, which is what enjoys life.

And for Donne, is there any difference between being a director and being an actor?

Anyway, he is a complete layman, and he mixes in this circle, relying on the "mirror possession" skill in the "sunglasses system".

With the continuous success of the movies he supervised in the past few years, Tang En has accumulated more and more "mirror possessions", and there are 6 of them!

Well!

That's right, you can act in a movie!

At this time, the Golden Globe Awards ceremony has begun more than 20 minutes, and an important award has been awarded, and the best actress in the music and comedy category is Rachel Weisz of "Chicago"!

The audience applauded.

This is the first time Rachel Weisz has won an award, or even the first time she has been nominated for a big prize.

She burst into tears on the podium.

Leonardo had a cynical smile on his face, glanced at Donn, but found that he was in a daze, couldn't help but touch him, and teased in a low voice: "How many women have you played, just to receive a Golden Globe Award, as for the excitement like this?

"You know!"

Donn glared at him angrily, not even glancing at Rachel Weisz on the podium.

He has already said hello to the organizing committee of the Golden Globe Awards, and he is optimistic that Rachel Weisz will become the actress.

"Martin, I've decided, I'm going to be an actor in your movie!"

Don suddenly came and made Leonardo a little distracted.

No way?

Really?

Martin Scorsese is very excited, this is Donne Walker, who is more famous than Leonardo DiCaprio!

If he can participate, that is the guarantee of the box office.

"No problem, when I go back, I will immediately rewrite the script and tailor a character for you!"

Don frowned slightly, "The Aviator?"

"That's right!"

"I'm afraid this won't work, "The Aviator" is a one-man show with a single male protagonist, how can I have any room to perform? Isn't the male protagonist Leon?"

"Huh?"

Martin Scorsese didn't react for a moment.

Leonardo's eyes widened in surprise, and he said incredulously, "Don, don't you, don't you?

Don glared at him angrily, "Can't you?"

Leonardo held back a smile, his face flushed, "You?play the main role?can you act?"

Tang En said angrily: "My acting skills are definitely better than yours! Hmph, I have directed so many movies, do you think I don't understand acting?"

"Better than me?"

Leonardo pouted again and again, very disdainful.

Martin Scorsese was also a little stunned, and asked in a lost voice: "Donn, ...... you Do you really want to act?"

"Of course!"

"Playing the main role?"

"Of course!"

"But there is only one actor in "The Aviator", and that is Howard Hughes, or ...... Fire Leon?"

"Haha. ”

Don laughed.

This Martin Scorsese is really humorous in private.

Leonardo's face was gloomy, "Martin, if you replace me with Tom Hanks and Daniel Lewis, I won't say anything." If you dare to replace me with Donne, I'll ...... I can be!"

Martin Scorsese laughed a few times, his eyes looking at Donn.

He is a big boss and an investor, and this accident is also his "whimsy", and the specific situation depends on his ideas.

Tang En pondered for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Martin, why don't you put the project of "Aviator" on hold first, let's change the project!"

Leonardo was the first to refuse, "No, for the movie "The Aviator", I have been experiencing life for more than two months. ”

"You experience the life of a fart, you experience Howard Hughes's night songs, right?" Donn mercilessly sarcastically mocked the bad friend, he had already decided to shelve "The Aviator", "Martin, listen to me about this matter, and when the filming of this project is over, you will start filming "The Aviator". ”

"What project?" Martin Scorsese didn't look good.

Don smiled: "Of course, it's a project with two male leads, Leon and I play the male lead." ”

"Is it a ready-made project?"

"No, but I watched a new Asian movie called "Infernal Affairs", although it is an entertainment movie, but the setting is quite brilliant, it is a parody of "Changing Face". Because of this movie, I thought of a real case that happened in the Boston Police Department. ”

"Real-world cases?"

Martin Scorsese came interested, and Leonardo pricked up his ears.

Tang En said slowly: "I don't remember the specific process, the general process is that the police and the gang/gang confronted each other, and the police and the gang/gang sent undercover agents respectively to infiltrate each other's forces and gain trust." John Connolly, the famous corrupt FBI agent, has heard of it?"

"Gangster ......"

Martin Scorsese is a bit distracted, he's a devout Catholic.

"New York Vice" is a gangster film that failed at the box office. The "Departed" that Don said may be a redemption.

Leonardo's eyes widened in surprise and said excitedly: "You mean, let's play an undercover agent each?"

Don En smiled, "That's right!"

"Interesting!" Leonardo showed interest, and then glanced at Don with disdain, "This kind of scene must be indispensable for the scenes of the two male protagonists, are you sure you want to play it with me?"

Tang En was angry and funny, "Where did you get your confidence? If I were you, I would have won the Oscar a long time ago!"

"It's blowing!" Leonardo didn't even win an Oscar nomination, so he hurried out angrily and gritted his teeth: "I don't care, it's so decided, let's play two undercover agents and see who has good acting skills!"

Regarding the project "Departed", Don En also said a few words before and after.

But Leonardo has already decided to participate in the starring role.

This is not an angry statement.

It's a trust in Donn's cinematic art.

Even, Don doesn't have to say a word, just say "I have a good project, you will star in it", and Leonardo will definitely not refuse.

Don has this prestige and strength!

A little troublesome was Martin Scorsese, who said: "Donn, I believe in your vision, and I'm sure that the 'Departed' you mentioned will be an excellent project. But I've already talked to Michael Mann, the copyright owner of "The Aviator". ”

"Michael Mann?" Donn smiled and waved his hand, "Okay, I'll settle him." After filming "The Departed", you will cooperate with "The Aviator", and I will invest!"
