This year's Oscars are destined to be the world of "Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King".

Donn was also the guest of honor, presenting Peter Jackson with the Best Picture award.

Compared with last year's grand occasion of dominating the Oscars, this year's situation at New Universal is a bit bland, winning only 4 awards-

Best Actress, Charlize Theron for "The Witch";

Best Original Screenplay, "Lost in Translation";

Best Cinematography, Daredevil;

Best Animated Feature, "Finding Nemo".

You must know that only one film, "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King", swept 11 awards!

Don was in a good mood, though.

Mel Gibson, who was nominated for Best Actor for "Gone Girl", and Nicole Kidman, who was nominated for Best Actress, invited Donn to the "Aussie Gang" party after the awards ceremony.

Now, the relationship between Donn and Australian actors has become better and better, and it can even be said that it has become a collective.

Take a look at these Australian actors who are now popular in Hollywood -

Mel Gibson, "Mad Max 4" with Donn Films, will be released this summer;

Nicole Kidman, "Robocop" with Donn Pictures, released this summer;

Russell Crowe, the upcoming animated adaptation of the blockbuster "Dumbo", he is the leading actor;

Naomi Watts, who is about to start filming Universal Pictures' blockbuster "King Kong";

Rose Byrne, as the "Wasp", she will shoot two Marvel blockbusters in a row this year, "Ant-Man 2" and "The Avengers";

Heath Ledger, who has joined Ann Lee's new project "Brokeback Mountain";

Cate Blanchett, she participated in "The Departed", which will be the big hit of New Universal this year, hitting next year's Oscars;

Eric Barna has been confirmed to play the role of "The Incredible Hulk", appearing in the Easter egg of "Iron Man" and "The Avengers......

Originally, Donn also wanted Australian actor Chris Hemsworth to star in "Thor", just like in his previous life.

As a result, he searched around.

I didn't find this person at all.

Not to mention the American entertainment industry, there are many Australian entertainment circles.

Estimate...... This guy is still moving bricks on the construction site.

There was no choice but to hold a large-scale audition for the casting of "Thor".

"Donn, this is our list of suitable actors selected for the Marvel Studios competition. ”

After the ceremony, on his first day on the job, Don was blocked in the office by Nina Jacobson.

Don took the list and glanced at it.

Boy!

There are a lot of celebrities!

Including Brad Pitt, Nicolas Cage, and Russell Crowe, the three A-list stars, are all listed, and there are two less familiar names.

There were five options.

"What do you think?"

"At that time, the more famous, the better. ”

Nina Jacobson blurted out without hesitation.

The movies of the "Thor" series belong to the superheroes of mythological themes, the sales of comics are mediocre, the popularity is not high, and it is not a flattering hero character.

If there is a famous male star pressing the lineup, there will be greater box office expectations.

Nicolas Cage...... He even rejected our Ghost Rider, and with such a serious popcorn inclination, would he take over?" Donn pursed his lips disapprovingly.

Nina Jacobson's face was puzzled: "Indeed. Although he did not explicitly refuse, the proposed remuneration conditions were ...... It's too high, $20 million is not enough, and dividends are being asked. Marvel Studios has never paid such a high salary in the past few years. ”

"Then exclude!" Donn waved his hand, he knew that Nicolas Cage was still popular at the moment, and his spirit was still high, "Marvel Studios' movies are all the same universe structure, we must pay attention to the salary structure, and we must not be unbalanced." ”

Nina Jacobson nodded, "Russell Crowe rejected our script, but he's Australian. If you feel the need to talk to him?"

"Russell Crowe? Donn shook his head, "We all know that the Thor movie doesn't have much room for performance, and it's completely green screen shooting. This is a pain for an actor like Russell Crowe. ”

Nina Jacobson smiled slightly and said: "As I thought, then there is only one candidate left, Brad Pitt! His salary requirements are lower than Nicolas Cage, the first film salary is 15 million US dollars, and you can sign 5 film contracts, with a maximum salary of 30 million US dollars." ”

Brad Pitt...... This salary is quite normal. ”

"That's right, and we still have room for bargaining. ”

Don agreed: "Then let's do it!"

Brad Pitt's fame goes without saying, it is definitely top-notch, and his acting skills are also Oscar-level.

When "Thor" was released in 2006, it was when Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were in love, and when the rumors were boiling, a wave of free publicity could be formed to build momentum for the movie.

In his previous life, Brad Pitt also auditioned for "Thor". As a result, because of the high salary, it was scrapped, and rookie actor Chris Hemsworth was selected, and the star halo was increased through the new Oscar-winning actress Natalie Portman.

In this life, the candidate for the heroine "Jane Foster" has been confirmed, it is Canadian actress Rachel Lee Feffer, a newcomer who is not famous.

In this case, the actor is more famous, which is more in line with the requirements of the filmmaker.

"But...... There were accidents. ”

Nina Jacobson hesitated, a little embarrassed.

Don raised his eyebrows, "What's wrong?"

Nina Jacobson glanced back at the door and whispered, "Barry called me last night and said he wanted to install someone. ”

"Barry, Barry Diller?"

"Hmm. ”

Don was shocked.

Barry Diller, as the CEO of New Globe Group, is not directly responsible for the film business, how can he directly insert actors into the movie?

This has not happened in the past year and a half.

Nina Jacobson said embarrassedly: "Don, you know, if it's an ordinary small role, it's just that, I'm sure I'll agree without saying a word, I'll sell him this face." However, it is difficult for us to do what he asks. ”

Don took a deep breath and asked in amazement, "He doesn't always want the male lead, right?"

Nina Jacobson nodded, "It's the male lead! He wants his friend to be 'Thor'!"

"How so?"

Don was puzzled.

It is not surprising that power is used for personal gain.

In Hollywood, power has always ruled everything.

Isn't Don't the comfortable life that Tang En's current beauty haunts the result of using power for personal gain?

He could, and so could Barry Diller.

It's just that he wonders, why did Barry Diller do this?

He's retiring soon, isn't there a need?

"Maybe, he's retiring, and he wants to make a final profit!"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Don glared at her.

It is impossible to make money.

Nina Jacobson said eagerly, "I mean, he's going to retire in a few years, because he wants to...... It's for his friends, to exert the last wave of residual heat. ”

She accentuated the word "friend."

Don blinked, and it dawned on him.

That's right!

Barry Diller......

He's a comrade!

This is to find a way out for male pets...... (https:)
