Chapter 392: The Director of the Good Old Man
In the new week, although the elder Douglas is hospitalized, Catherine Zeta-Jones cannot stay in the hospital, she has to prepare for "Chicago" and practice dance.
Because she didn't train yesterday, she went to the fitness center earlier today, but found that the other heroine, Rachel Weisz, had arrived, wearing a short skirt for practice, her right leg was stretched on the horizontal bar, but she was holding a mobile phone in her left hand, and she kept talking.
By the time she finished changing, Rachel Weisz had already ended the call, looking at her with a smile, "So early today?"
"The old man is hospitalized, hey!" Catherine Zeta-Jones shook her head, "Don't talk about that, who did you just call?"
"Ella. ”
"Ella?"
"It's Donn's secretary, we're friends. ”
At the mention of Donne, Catherine Zeta-Jones thought of that absurd condition, and couldn't help but feel a little bitter.
She doesn't mind sleeping with Don a few times, she has been in the entertainment industry since she was a child, and she has seen a lot of this kind of thing, so she doesn't mind at all.
She was worried about the Douglas family, and she was afraid of revealing her stuff.
Rachel Weisz finished the phone call, was in a good mood, and asked with a smile: "By the way, did you watch last night's "Six Feet Under", did you watch it?"
"Look, the plot is a bit cruel, just because he is a comrade, he was beaten to death on the street, which is really ironic. ”
Catherine Zeta-Jones nodded, this is the most popular TV series at the moment, the theme is novel, and it is related to Donn, for any angle, she wants to watch it.
Rachel Weisz sighed, "Yes, I think same-sex is legal, and we have to go through the course of history. Forget it, don't talk about this, do you know how many ratings are?"
"Ratings?" Catherine Zeta-Jones shook her head, "It shouldn't be too high, right? ”
Rachel Weisz rolled her eyes, "Looks like you don't understand anything!" Starz now has 4.23 million subscribers, and last night, 3.47 million subscribers watched TV during the broadcast of "Six Feet Under," and more than 2.6 million of them chose to watch "Six Feet Below." ”
Catherine Zeta-Jones was almost confused by her, "What do you mean?"
Rachel Weisz was angry and funny, "Stupid, last night's episode had over 75% ratings!"
At this moment, Catherine Zeta-Jones understood, and her beautiful eyes widened, "75%? really fake? You lie to people, right? I heard that CBS's ratings are only about 35%!"
Rachel Weisz said helplessly: "This is different, different viewers...... Oops, I won't tell you, anyway, you just need to understand that "Six Feet Under" is very popular, surpassing HBO!"
"Oh......"
Catherine Zeta-Jones replied casually, then reacted, raised her head suddenly, and asked with wide eyes, "What did you say?
HBO is the best boutique content TV station in the United States today, wasn't it just acquired by Donn last year?
That's an exaggeration, right?
Rachel Weisz smiled wryly and scratched her head, "That's not it, I guessed it myself, HBO showed a movie last night, and it was boring! ”
Catherine Zeta-Jones nodded, "yes, Donne...... He's so good at everything. By the way, is Don here today?"
"I don't know. Rachel Weisz shrugged her shoulders indifferently, "But I guess not, he's so busy, even if he's a producer, he won't always be with us." ”
Well, it's really busy!
Now Don has flown to New York again.
"Spider-Man 2" started filming in May, and it has been filmed for more than 3 months now, and if nothing else, it will be completed at the end of August.
As the ace project of Down Pictures, "Spider-Man 2" naturally attracted a high degree of attention from top to bottom.
Even Nina Jacobson, the president of Marvel Studios, has personally served as the executive producer, joining the crew from the day of the start of filming, and has been accompanying him, striving to create the best conditions for director Ridley Scott to make the filming of "Spider-Man 2" go smoothly.
As for "Daredevil" that Nolan is responsible for...... Anyway, the script hasn't even been decided yet, so let them do it themselves!
Tang En is named the first producer of "Spider-Man 2", but he has never been to the crew, which has caused a lot of complaints and complaints from the main creators of the crew.
It can't be like Tim Burton's "Pirate League: The Curse of the Black Pearl", from the start to the finale, Donn, the producer, didn't show up once, right?
As a producer, he is of course unqualified and irresponsible. But he is famous, not for some fame, but because the name "Done Walker" is now a guarantee at the box office!
He is using his fame and influence to stand up for the film.
He was not named, and the executives of Donn Pictures were the first to disagree.
What's more, "Mirror Possession" is a cumulative global box office of $1 billion, not only the director's films, but also those who produce and star.
Of course, Donn will not let go of this opportunity to "brush data".
came to the crew of "Spider-Man 2", Don silently watched Ridley Scott's directing method on the side, and laughed again and again.
"Perfect!James, your expression just now is very in place, especially the movements at the corners of your mouth, it is very brilliant, let's shoot it again!"
After 5 minutes.
"Wonderful!James, the look in your eyes just now is very powerful, this is the charm of superheroes, hold on, one more!"
After 5 minutes.
"Great! James, your body movements just now are very smooth, and your physical condition is no less than that of a stand-in, keep it in this state, do it again!"
After 20 minutes......
"Well, this one is over, change to the next group!"
After tossing James Franco back and forth six or seven times, Ridley Scott was finally satisfied, so he stood up from the director's position, waved his hand, and directed the crew to prepare for the next shot.
Don watched from the sidelines, and since he laughed, he shook his head again.
This old British man is really a good man, and his style of filming in the crew is also so unique.
It is conceivable that James Franco's unpopular performance just now, if it was replaced by Cameron, he would have been scolded a long time ago.
Ridley Scott, on the other hand, was able to hold back his temper and quietly point out his strengths one by one, hinting at the shortcomings in other areas.
No wonder he has made so many movies that failed at the box office, and he can still be thriving in Hollywood, and his personal character plays a key role.
Donn's appearance did not affect the filming of the crew, he just chatted with Nina Jacobson for a while, "Is the budget still sufficient?"
Nina Jacobson said: "I've worked with so many directors, and Scott is the director who works best together. His control of the budget is more strict than he imagined. ”
Donn smiled, "So, he's two completely different types of James Cameron. ”
Nina Jacobson said, "I don't think he's worse than Cameron!"
Don opened his mouth, but he stopped talking, and he had a deeper understanding of Ridley Scott's personal relationship, "What about advertising?
Nina Jacobson hesitated, "He's an Englishman, and he's complaining a lot about all the ads we've put in." ”
Tang En said: "Hard advertising, definitely not good, to add advertising naturally, naturally, if it can be full of artistic sense, it is the best." ”
Nina Jacobson smiled: "Don't worry, it's all settled, and when you, a big producer, deal with it, the movie will have to be made until next year!"
This is the advantage of female employees, there are psychological advantages, sometimes dare to directly scold Tang En, the big boss, he didn't care, smiled slightly, "What about the actor......? I don't seem to be too distracted!"
Supporting roles and actresses, Don is not worried, what he is worried about is James Franco, the "Spider-Man", in case it swells, it will be difficult to do.
Especially in the scene just now, the level of performance is ...... Obviously not what he should be.
Nina Jacobson hesitated for a moment and frowned, "This kid has a problem with his mentality!"
Don's face suddenly turned gloomy.
