"Excellent read, thrilling plot comparable to Hitchcock, I can't put it down. This touching book goes straight to the darkest corners of the human heart, and will give you goosebumps all over your body, and you have to raise a heart to your throat until the last page. ”

- "People"

"A well-crafted book that covers themes such as 'life, love, loss, guilt', and is a compelling piece of outstanding literature. The great Donn Walker, in addition to his majestic directing talent, has brought us the most hearty feeling of words. ”

- The New Yorker

"This book is always revealing the truth, but it deliberately lays out a series of ecstasy arrays...... Ella Fisher portrays the cultural phenomena of the moment vividly with a poisonous tongue, and the structure of the book is intricate and extremely pretentious, making it difficult to let go...... In a word, this book is very interesting. ”

- New York Daily News

"'How did things get so bad?' in the new collaboration between Donne Walker and Ella Fisher. When two people get married, but one of them can't figure out the true face of the person next to the pillow at all, what kind of turmoil will it cause?—— "Gone Girl" can let you see some clues. ”

- USA Today

"Hardcore readers will love the witty game of Gone Girl. In Hollywood director Donn's suspenseful new work, a crisis-ridden marriage is turned into a thriller story. The reputation of this book is not because of Donne's personal fame, but because of the wonderful ups and downs of the story. ”

—The New York Times

……

It's gold that always shines.

"Gone Girl" has almost not undergone much publicity, and has become a hot hit on major media book channels, and the momentum is even more exaggerated than the "Harry Potter" series.

"Harry Potter" is only a shallow children's book, the author is still British, and the choice of words and sentences is very different from American habits. "Gone Girl" is quite different, it is a homegrown American literature.

When the DVD of "Spider-Man" was selling well in the United States, the book "Gone Girl" was almost the same way that became popular all over the country.

In the current New York Times bestseller list, "Gone Girl" quietly broke into the top ten, second only to Jim Grace's "Death", Philip Rose's "The Stain on Human Nature", "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire", ranking fourth.

So much so that Don had to keep dozens of signed copies of "Gone Girl" in his office, so that he could deal with visiting friends and distinguished guests at any time.

Even many times Tang En couldn't help but complain, "These guys, they just come here if they have a big, they can't be specifically asking for books, right?"

The famous "Oprah Talk Show" also sent out invitations continuously, but Donn was not interested in participating and pushed the task to Ella Fisher.

Movies need publicity because this is the entertainment industry.

It is a cultural circle, everything is guaranteed by the reputation and quality of books, Tang En does not want to rely on the fan effect to sell books, and there should always be some pursuits as a person.

……

Awards season has arrived.

This year's Oscars ceremony will be held on March 24.

However, the results of other major awards in the United States have begun to be announced one after another.

The New York Film Critics Circle Awards, which has a long history, are not only one of the three major film critics awards in the United States, but also an important bellwether for the Oscars.

Three films produced by Down Pictures last year were nominated, "Soul Shifter," "Fragments of Memory" and "Poison Web." ("Poison Net" was screened in 4 theaters in December 2000, so although it was released in 2001, it was a 2000 movie.) ）

Don had no interest in attending an award ceremony at this level, but Natalie kept pestering him, begging him to go with him anyway.

Because of her wonderful performance in "The Soul Shifter", Natalie Portman has a high demand and is likely to become the best supporting actress at this year's Oscars.

And her home is in New York, and the New York Film Critics Association will definitely take extra care of it and award this award to her!

This is the first award of her acting career!

Don must share the joy of this moment with her!

Faced with such a high-sounding reason, Don En had no choice but to accept it.

Tang Endu personally participated, and the main creators of "Soul Shifting Girl", "Memory Fragments", and "Poison Net" could only participate "by invitation".

The awards ceremony is simple, there is not much commercialization, and there are many fewer awards than the Oscars.

In the end, Don Pictures reaped a great harvest!

The most popular is the project "Drug Web", which was abandoned by Twentieth Century Fox last year but was pulled to Done Films by Bill McNick.

That night, Steven Soderbergh not only won the Best Picture award with a masterpiece of "Drug Network", but also won the Best Director award over Sam Mendes, the director of "Soul Shifter", and Robert Zemeckis, the director of "Desert Island"!

In the competition for Best Supporting Actor, Benicio del Toro, who participated in "Drug Network", also won it successfully.

The Best Screenplay Award went to "You Can Count on Me", and Tom Hanks was selected as the best actor for "Desert Island".

As for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress...... It seems to be repeating last year's Cannes Film Festival!

Nicole Kidman and Natalie Portman are back together!

This award is dispensable for Nicole Kidman, she has even won the Golden Globe, and she really doesn't care about this second-rate award.

But Natalie was different, when she accepted the award, she gave a long speech, and her delicate face was full of happy excitement.

Coming down from the podium, Don and her hugged her gently, "Congratulations!"

"Thank you. ”

Natalie smiled sweetly and raised her chin, very proud.

Tang En couldn't help but lean over and asked in a low voice, "You tell me the truth, are you ...... I've already received the letter, and you're going to win the prize?"

"Huh?"

Natalie blushed and pursed her lips and glared at him.

Tang En smiled and said in a low voice: "I've heard about this kind of small award, in order for the winners to be present to receive the award, the organizing committee must pass the news to the agent in advance." Look at your expression...... I guessed right. ”

"My expression?" Natalie snorted and pouted, "yes, I got the news from my agent, how about it?" Hmph, this is not an Oscar, it's not a Golden Globe, why did I come here in costume to cheer for the other actresses? You didn't see the other nominees, didn't they come?"

"Then you can tell me directly. ”

"Didn't I want to surprise you!"

Don held her little hand and couldn't help but laugh, "Okay, surprise, surprise indeed......! In my opinion, the bigger surprises are yet to come. ”

Natalie's eyes were shining, and she naturally knew what he was referring to, and her face was rosy and seductive.

Nicole Kidman wants to win the Oscar for "Soul Shifter...... The difficulty is not small, not that she is not good at acting, but the competition is very strong, Laura Linney in "You Can Come Close to Me", Julia Roberts in "Never Compromise", all have acting breakthrough performances.

But the competition for Best Supporting Actress ......

Even throwing out emotional biases, in all fairness, Natalie Portman is brilliant enough!

What's more, she is Jewish and operates in the Jewish circle, and Don personally visits Francis Coppola to get the support of Italians.

Don himself has a good relationship with the entertainment circles of Australia, Britain and France, and after some communication, it seems that he ......

The jackpot is here!
