Chapter 321: Rose's Secret
There is no doubt that Cate Blanchett is a very malleable actor, and it would be an absolute waste of resources to let her participate in the superhero movies of the series.
If you shoot a superhero film occasionally, such as "Hela" in "Thor 3: Ragnarok", this can be regarded as a challenge to the drama road, and it will not be a fixed image.
If she is asked to play the role of "Erica" and shoot many comic movies in a row, it will solidify her image and have a very adverse impact on her career development.
The most typical example is Scarlett Johansson.
The commercial blockbusters she shot failed miserably at the box office, and the literary films she shot did not win the Oscars...... had no choice but to take over the Marvel series and become the spokesperson of "Black Widow".
The good thing is that with this image, she finally became famous in the world and became a first-line actor, but the disadvantage is ...... She no longer has the possibility of taking on literary films, or films that require strong character building.
I can only make some popcorn movies, or dub cartoons, or...... directly participated in "She" as a voice actor.
Cate Blanchett may not be as good as Scarlett Johansson's star attributes, but her actor temperament can also be ranked in the whole of Hollywood.
The offer that she play "Erica" is just a joke by Donn to show his gratitude to her and his propensity to cooperate.
Cate Blanchett obviously has a clear line for her career plan, and after communicating briefly with Donne, after learning about the background of this "Erica", she politely refused, changed the topic, and said with a smile: "By the way, you are a great writer now, why don't you send an autographed book?"
Tang En paused slightly, "Okay, I was indeed negligent, when you finish filming and go back to Los Angeles, I'll give you another copy." ”
"Is the sales data out?" Cate Blanchett's question also aroused the curiosity of Katherine Kennedy and Patty Jenkins.
Don and there is honor.
Bestsellers, literary writers!
This is even higher than being on the Forbes rich list!
The latter is just coppery, and the former ...... It is wisdom, realm, thought, and eternity!
"A total of 900,000 copies were sold in North America in January, and the data for February is not yet available, but many countries in Europe have already started to translate and print. ”
Donn's words were plain, but they exuded a faint pride.
In terms of the best-selling in today's world, the only one that can compete with the "Harry Potter" series is "Gone Girl"!
At present, "Gone Girl" has been distributed to more than 80 countries around the world, and more than 30 languages are still being translated.
If "Gone Girl" continues to dominate the New York Times bestseller list, it has a good chance of breaking the U.S. domestic sales record of 6.8 million copies, according to the agency's projections.
The worldwide influence may not be as great as that of the United States, but if "Gone Girl" is adapted into a movie, then the book will also be a huge seller worldwide, with a guaranteed sales of 50 million copies.
"900,000 copies?"
Cate Blanchett blinked, she had no idea about the number, "Earned a lot of manuscript fees, right?"
Don laughed, "Ella said the royalty income for January...... That's $2.7 million!"
The United States values intellectual property rights, so books are sold at high prices and royalties are high.
"Gone Girl" retails for $15.99, and because of the name of "Done Walker", it gets a royalty of up to 20%, which is indeed a lot of income.
"$2.7 million, that's a lot?" Cate Blanchett's face changed slightly, "That's a month's income, and it's only North America." If it's a full year...... No wonder everyone says that JK Rowling's wealth can buy half of Hollywood!"
Tang En waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's not so exaggerated, the sales will be less and less, and the royalties abroad are ...... It is also far less than in North America. More importantly, this book is co-authored by Ella and I, and the income is equally divided. ”
Cate Blanchett shook her head, "Anyway, this book ...... At least bring Ella $10 million, right?"
Donn shrugged, "That's normal. ”
Cate Blanchett sighed.
Ella Fisher was originally just a very inconspicuous young actor in Australia, but because of her relationship, she entered an exchange meeting of the Hollywood Australia Gang and happened to meet Done.
Although she did not continue to develop her career in the entertainment industry, but became Donne's secretary, because of "Disappeared Lover", she entered the literary circle in one fell swoop, and she has a lot of assets, which is really enviable.
Cate Blanchett is also a slightly famous actor in Hollywood, but she has not made a fortune of $10 million so far......
Leaning on Don is really equivalent to leaning on a mountain of gold!
"By the way, Rose hasn't come yet?" Cate Blanchett's tone was no longer as natural as it had been.
Tang En said: "She'll come over next week, now...... I'm enjoying life. ”
When Cate Blanchett heard this, her heart was even more uncomfortable.
Of course, she knew that Rose Byrne didn't have many scenes, less than 20 scenes in total, and she was not in a hurry to join the group.
In fact, Cate Blanchett and Rose Byrne have a very good relationship, and she can come to Hollywood and live in the "Mid-Levels Manor", both of which have Kate's operation behind her.
The two usually talk on the phone, and Rose Byrne will always naturally reveal the beauty of her current life on the phone.
Living in the best estate in Beverly Hills, using the world's best cosmetics, Tang even assigned her a dedicated makeup artist to provide her services, dressed in the top luxury brands, and Mid-Levels Manor has a female stylist tailored for her.
The cars that travel are all top supercars such as Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Maybach, and if you are tired, you can summon a driver, and there are luxury business cars such as Bentley, Mercedes, and Cadillac.
And even ...... Mid-levels Manor also provides 24-hour personal bodyguards!
Of course, this is also Donn's means of surveillance.
He couldn't spend so much money to support women and give them a chance to outside.
Cate Blanchett prides herself on not being a money worshipper, but listening to Rosebyne's description, there will always be a little envy and even jealousy in her heart.
In the past, Rose Byrne's life was very different from her, and now ...... It's a world of difference!
The root of everything is Donne!
Cate Blanchett hesitated, lowered her voice, and whispered, "Donne, let me tell you a secret, about Rose." ”
"Secret?"
Don En frowned, very curious.
Cate Blanchett glanced at the other two women in the room, stretched out her hand, and whispered, "Let's go next door, there's a bedroom, it's empty......"
Don was a little strange, "Is it necessary?"
"Yes!"
"About what?"
"About ...... A relationship between Rose and her in the past. ”
Tang En frowned, looked displeased, and waved his big hand, "I'm not interested in this!"
Rose Byrne is not a virgin, and Don is just planning to play, and he doesn't have the idea of letting her inherit the family for herself at all, and he is entangled in her past, isn't it self-masochistic?
"No, no, no!" Cate Blanchett shook her head repeatedly, with a straight face, "Donn, I think...... You will definitely be very interested!"
Tang En looked at her deeply and groaned slightly, "Let's go!"
