Chapter 309: Can't Cooperate with Him!
The awards dinner is about to begin, and Don sits down with the crew of "Soul Shifter".
Seeing Natalie's happy face, Don asked strangely, "You got the news again, you won the award?"
"Nonsense, this is the Golden Globe!" Natalie gave him a blank look.
This is the second largest film festival award after the Oscars, and it is almost impossible for insider information to happen. Of course, it is not absolute, in the history of the Golden Globe Awards, there have been many scandals of internal operations.
This is also the reason why it is despised by the Oscar organizing committee and the academy.
"Then why are you so happy?"
"I'm ......" Natalie said a joke, pursed her lips and smiled, and lowered her voice, "Are there many women who have mentioned to you that they want to have a baby for you?"
Tang En was stunned for a moment, and said funny: "It's for no reason, what are you talking about?"
"Hmph, answer the question!"
"Hmm...... There's nothing to hide, Penny told me that she wanted to have an illegitimate child, and I refused, Nicole...... Also hinted. ”
The corners of Natalie's mouth pursed slightly, revealing a smile that could not be concealed.
"What's wrong?"
"Happy!"
Don smiled and quipped, "Do you want to have a baby? It doesn't matter, you're almost 20 years old, and you're not 'Juno', we can have a baby." ”
"Stinky beauty, I still have to study!" Natalie glanced at him delicately, and then pouted, "Besides, you don't know that my father is a person, if I dare to get pregnant before marriage......"
"It's easy to do, let's get married right away!"
Natalie bit her lip and glared at him with some resentment, "Are you proposing......? Don't think about getting married or having children!"
Don directly admitted, "Okay, you know, I'm a feminist, and I respect women's choices the most." ”
"Go, go, feminist, others don't know, don't I know?" Natalie pinched his arm, laughing, "You're a complete machismo, and there's a serious ...... Female complex, right?"
"Huh?" Don looked at her with wide eyes.
Natalie snorted, "Aren't ......they? Isn't it because they don't meet your requirements that they are so beautiful?"
Don smiled, leaned over and whispered, "That's right, only a good girl like you who gave her body to me cleanly can be the mother of my children, they ...... None of them deserve it!"
"You're disgusting!"
Natalie pushed Donn, her face flushed, shy, nervous, and a little relieved and proud.
"Do you know why your dad was so me, and I respect him so much?" Don winked at her wickedly.
Natalie blushed, turned her head, and muttered, "Who knew you had such a dirty mind! Besides, even if Dad wasn't strict, I wouldn't mess around with boys outside." ”
Don couldn't help but laugh, "It seems that you still understand me very well." ”
"Oh, why are you so bad? Get up, I won't sit with you anymore, hate!"
Natalie pushed Natalie's arm, her face flushed with radiance.
……
The Golden Globes are held in the form of a gala dinner, where guests sit around a round table and enjoy a meal while waiting for the awards.
The selection for Best Actress in the drama category is more intense, Julia Roberts in "Never Compromise", Nicole Kidman in "Soul Shifter", and Laura Linney in "You Can Trust Me" are all popular candidates for actresses, and the veteran actor Alan Bosten in "Requiem for Dreams" has also been recognized by the industry.
The guest of honor was the famous comedy star Jim Carrey, who read out the name of Julia Roberts aloud!
Don, who was sitting at the same table, could see Nicole Kidman's face tremble slightly, and then he showed a bright smile and began to applaud.
The Golden Globes are the biggest bellwether for the Oscars!
Although Nicole Kidman and Julia Roberts have been very vocal in the past few months, in the selection of major awards, they are more willing to give Best Actress to Julia Roberts, who has made a breakthrough in acting.
Nicole Kidman's chances of being crowned this year's Oscar actress have plummeted.
Tang En felt that the atmosphere of the crew of "Soul Shifting Girl" had changed suddenly, and it was obvious that everyone was aware of this. Especially for the award of Best Supporting Actress for a while, if nothing else, Natalie Portman will hold it in the palm of her hand without any suspense.
The same movie, with different endings, made Don not feel very comfortable, so he got up directly and went to the "Gladiator" crew next door.
It wasn't in line with the rules, but Don had enough status for no one to dare say anything.
"Can I sit here?"
"Donne, of course, sit down. Director Ridley Scott's eyes lit up, and then he quickly arranged for him to sit next to him, and beckoned Connie Nelson, the heroine of "Gladiator", to sit on the other side of Donne, "Connie, come over and have a drink with Donne." ”
Connie Nelson is 36 years old, and the age gap is a bit big.
But this is Hollywood, and seniority is not based on age and status. Female celebrities, as long as they are well maintained, beautiful enough, and attractive.
Besides, this is the unbeatable Donn Walker!
Even director Ridley Scott is not qualified to be on an equal footing with Donn.
Don shook hands with Connie Nelson and casually said a few perfunctory words, not very interested.
He prefers to communicate with Ridley Scott, "Ridley, I have a hunch that "Gladiator" will be the best picture!"
Ridley Scott shook his head and said modestly, "In my opinion, 'Soul Shifter' has a better chance of winning." ”
"By the way, is there a new project?" Donn smiled and changed the subject.
Ridley Scott hesitated, a little hesitant.
"Inconvenient to say?" Don raised an eyebrow.
Ridley Scott groaned slightly and lowered his voice, "Trade secrets, there is a book I don't know if you have heard of, it is called "Black Hawk Down", a record of real events. ”
"Black Hawk Down?" Donn's eyes froze.
Ridley Scott, "You know?"
Don smiled faintly.
Too well known!
A textbook in a war movie!
It's just that it hit the "911 incident" and the war in Afghanistan, and it was released at a time when the American people were traumatized, which led to a dismal box office and a miserable loss for Columbia Pictures.
But none of this matters, Don cares more about the producer of this movie!
"I heard that post-production for ...... Pearl Harbor is complete, and Jerry Bruckheimer is available?" Donn narrowed his eyes, his face not very good.
Ridley Scott frowned, a little bit like Donn's questioning tone, but he was self-aware, and his expression was calm, "The copyright of this film is in Jerry's hands, and Columbia Pictures has agreed to invest." ”
Done's face turned cold, "Director Scott, you don't plan to work with him, do you?"
Ridley Scott is very famous in Hollywood, but he is very self-aware, he knows that he is a foreigner, he knows that this is Hollywood!
So don't look at the classic movies he once made such as "Alien", "Crazy Flower of the End", and "Gladiator", and has always maintained a low-key, steady, and humble style.
Be a man with his tail between his legs in Hollywood, be humble and polite, and only then can he call for wind and rain after returning to the UK.
It can also be seen from another example, because "Titanic" was robbed by Donn, Ridley Scott now has a higher status in the industry than James Cameron.
But Ridley Scott has made so many films, and he has never won the final editing rights! It's not that he doesn't have enough qualifications, it's that he doesn't fight for it.
This also led to classic movies such as "Blade Runner" and "Heavenly Dynasty", which failed miserably at the box office because of post-editing problems.
Of course, this also has the advantage that Ridley Scott does not have to take responsibility for the box office failure, which also allows him to continue to mix in Hollywood and take on blockbuster films after the box office failures of "Black Silver Fall" and "Heavenly Dynasty".
In contrast, John Wu, an Asian-American director who was thriving and comfortable in Hollywood and successfully won the final editing rights, could only pay for his self-confidence, and after the failure of the two films, he returned to Asia in disgrace.
Hollywood, in the final analysis, is the Hollywood of the United States, where foreigners have no arrogant capital.
