Chapter 556: Strange Drinking Party
Awards season is coming, and it's Christmas again, and many films are starting to be released in late December.
These include Rose Pictures' Chicago, Focus Pictures' The Pianist, DreamWorks' Get Away, Warner's Two Weeks of Lovers, New Line Pictures' The Lord of the Rings 2: The Two Towers, Fox Searchlight's Breaking Out of Adversity, Miramax's Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, MGM's Nicholas Nick Bey, Disney's 25th Hour, and the transformed IMAX animated series The Lion King......
Before that, Donn had said that "Chicago" would shine during awards season.
Now, "Chicago" is about to be released, and two actors, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Rachel Weisz, took the initiative to come to the door......
Of course, Tang En was disrespectful, and took the two of them to the red sofa, so that they could be used for a while.
It's really a drunken enjoyment!
Maybe it's because of Donne's request, or maybe it's because Don's power is much bigger now than in the first half of the year, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Rachel Weisz cooperate quite well, changing tricks on the sofa to please Done, and welcome him.
The performance of this pair of British stunners is perfect!
It's comparable to the combination of Charlize Theron and Penelope Cruz.
After finishing his work on the sofa, Don was still unsatisfied, and when he was taking a shower, he asked for it again, and then he was satisfied and put on his clothes.
"This awards season, the competition is too big!"
While Don was dressed, the two Englishmen began to wear their dresses.
Tang En sat on the sofa with a golden knife, admiring the gorgeous scenery of the beauty dressing, and said disappreciably: "There is a lot of competition? I also deliberately changed the schedule of "Gone Girl" and adjusted it to April next year, otherwise the competition will be even greater!"
Catherine Zeta-Jones said: "It's also big, it feels ...... More intense than in '94. ”
Tang En knew what she meant, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, no matter how fierce the competition is, your best supporting actress won't be able to run!"
"Really?"
Catherine Zeta-Jones' eyes lit up and were full of surprise.
Tang En said lightly: "If I say okay, I will do it!"
"Thank you!
Catherine Zeta-Jones was a little incoherent with excitement, as if she had already held the Oscar golden figure in her hand, and rushed up and kissed Donn on the face.
Even Natalie can rely on a small film like "Juno", after being sealed in one fell swoop, do you still need to doubt Don's strength?
Her performance in "Chicago" is much better than Natalie's performance in "Juno".
Rachel Weisz was a little resentful, and looked at Don pitifully, "What about me?"
"You?" Don groaned for a moment and shook his head, "This year's actress is Nicole." Your performance in "Chicago" is not breakthrough enough. ”
Rachel Weisz bit her lip and said: "I know that Nicole Kidman's performance in "All the Time" amazed the entire film critics and was extremely popular. But...... Isn't the Golden Globe still good?"
There is only one Oscar-winning actress.
But there are two Golden Globe Award actresses, one is the best drama actress, and the other is the musical comedy actress.
"All the Time" is a feature film, and "Chicago" is a song and dance film, which happens to be separated.
The Golden Globe Awards in the previous life were like this.
Nicole Kidman and Renee Zellweger, the original star of "Chicago", won the Golden Globe Award respectively.
Now, although the actress of "Chicago" has changed, the Golden Globe Awards have also changed, and after a farce, Donn has a great influence on the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.
"Well, Golden Globe Queen, no problem!" Don was admiring Catherine Zeta-Jones' bewitching bra movements, casually coping.
Unexpectedly, Rachel Weisz suddenly pounced and kissed him on the face.
Twenty minutes later, Donn walked out of the office with the two of them in his arms, Tosca Musk and Ella Fisher were so accustomed to the scene that they turned a blind eye.
"Don, I'm free all season, miss me, just call me. ”
As she was leaving, Catherine Zeta-Jones winked and said to Don in a seductive voice.
Rachel Weisz also smiled and said, "It's okay to ask me out, whether it's one, two, three, four, I'm fine." ”
Don burst out laughing.
Ella Fisher, who was not far away, changed her face slightly, and whispered to Tosca Musk: "This is a Hollywood female star?"
Tosca Musk cautiously said: "Don't talk nonsense. ”
"I know, isn't this a whisper between the two of us?"
"The entertainment industry is like this. ”
Ella Fisher pouted repeatedly, "That Catherine is still married, and her husband is Michael Douglas." ”
Tosca Musk said lightly: "The power of the Douglas family is not as strong as before, and if she wants to have a better career development in Hollywood, she can only use the weapon between her legs." ”
"Between the legs?"
Ella Fisher had a strange look on her face and wanted to laugh, but she didn't laugh.
Yes, this is a woman's greatest weapon!
She was able to become a best-selling author and secretary to the chairman of the New Globe Group, didn't she rely on this weapon back then?
……
The films that won the awards were only screened on a small scale at the end of December, and they were qualified for the competition, and the real box office was during the awards season from January to March.
"Chicago" opened with 77 theaters, which is quite a lot.
The pure literary film "The Pianist" produced by Focus Pictures is still an R-rated film, and it only opens in 3 theaters.
The Christmas schedule only belongs to two films: "The Lord of the Rings 2: The Two Towers" and "Get Away with Justice".
On December 29th, it was already the countdown to 2002.
Don was warmly invited by Warner and New Line to attend the Lord of the Rings 2: The Two Towers Celebration Party.
Such an abrupt invitation made Don a little strange.
Warner Bros. CEO Barry Meyer personally called Donn and said that this reception, nominally to celebrate the North American box office of "Lord of the Rings 2: The Two Towers", is actually a social etiquette for Hollywood's leaders at the end of the year.
I can't refuse this reason.
Don took Natalie, who had spent the Christmas holidays, to the appointment.
"Since it's a social party, don't be too showy and keep a low profile when you get there for a while. ”
Sitting in the lengthened bulletproof Lincoln car, Natalie persuaded Don earnestly.
Tang En sighed, "I also want to keep a low profile, no way, it's too windy!"
Natalie chuckled and patted Donne, "I'm down to business." ”
"Serious business?" Don En looked solemn and took off his suit jacket, "You have to put on my coat, this is the right thing." In this winter, you are wearing a skirt, and you are not afraid of freezing and cold?"
"Aren't all ladies like that?" said Natalie disapprovingly.
Don insisted: "I don't care what others do, you are my woman, I have an obligation to protect you, I don't want to watch you get cold." ”
Natalie pursed her lips coquettishly, "That's a nice thing to say! As long as you provoke fewer women, I'm happier than anything else." ”
"Ahem......"
Don was a little embarrassed, turned his eyes to look out the window, and was suddenly stunned, "Huh? Isn't that Eisner's car?"
In front of the Hilton Hotel, many familiar faces have already appeared.
Most of them are actors and stars, and Don saw Michael Eisner's car at a glance!
"Really?"
Natalie couldn't believe it either.
Don said in a deep voice, "I can't be mistaken. ”
"It's weird. Natalie muttered to herself.
Disney and Time Warner have always had a bad relationship.
In particular, the farce of Warner Cable interrupting the operation of the Disney Channel two years ago was bigger than the current quarrel between New Globe and Viacom! In the end, it was Congress that intervened to make the two sides shelve the dispute.
Since then, there has been less contact between the two media companies.
Michael Eisner, in particular, has been criticizing AOL in public.
In fact, AOL and Time Warner are already a family.
Don didn't rush to get out of the car, his brows were furrowed, and he felt that this drinking party didn't seem to be as simple as the celebration party of "Lord of the Rings 2" and the Hollywood year-end party.
"Look, it seems to be Mr. Roberts. Natalie exclaimed, pointing to a man in a suit and leather shoes as he walked into the hotel.
Donn looked at it, and sure enough, it was Brian Roberts, the president of Comcast, and his wife.
"Comcast and Time Warner, aren't they competitors in the field of cable operations?"
Natalie looked at Don strangely.
Don snorted coldly, "I don't know what the hell Warner is up to." In any case, let's go first and have a look! Is it possible to make this celebration cocktail party, or is it not possible to make it a tiger's den in Longtan? Let's go, get out of the car!"
Natalie gave him a strange look.
But the heart is still very useful.
Domineering men, always very attractive.
Natalie put on Donn's coat and took his arm as she entered the Hilton Hotel and followed the waiter's instructions to the party hall on the 11th floor.
Coincidentally, as soon as I entered the door, I ran into Alan Horn, the president of Warner Bros., who was discussing the movie with Brian Singh.
Brian Singer is a small director, Don only glanced at it, and said to Alan Horn with deep meaning: "Today's cocktail party ...... It's full of friends!"
Alan Horn remained silent, as if he didn't hear his question, and smiled: "It's just a matter of face from peers in the industry, hehe, I'm talking to Brian about the new version of "Batman", which happens to be related to you." ”
The other party skillfully changed the topic, but Don didn't insist, and smiled slightly, "Batman?
Brian Singh took the initiative to say: "That's right, I think I'm too far from you in terms of understanding the movie, hehe." Daredevil is a film you produce, and I don't want Batman and Daredevil to be on the same schedule. ”
Don glanced at Alan Horn and understood that Brian Singer was behind the blame!
The director is an artist's thinking, how can he admit it so easily?
It must be that Warner wants to adjust the schedule and doesn't want "Batman" and "Daredevil" to fight in the ring.
There is no way, the commercial films produced by Don in recent years have exploded too much at the box office, and Warner Bros. must reduce the risk.
Especially in May, there are two blockbusters "X-Men 2" and "The Matrix 2", and "Batman" is a bit unbearable.
"What day is the adjustment?"
"July 18th. ”
"July 18th?"
Don's face became a little strange.
Now that's interesting!
"Jedi Men 2" cooperated by Jerry Bruckheimer, Michael Bay and Bruce Willis, the release date is also July 18th!
