"The actor has yet to be confirmed, the actress has been chosen, Scarlett Johansson, an actor with a very literary temperament. ”

Donn muttered to himself, "Scarlett"

Sofia Coppola raised her eyebrows and looked at him with a smile, "Looks like you know her?"

Don coughed lightly, "I've met once or twice, and her performance in the horse whisperer is very good." ”

Sofia Coppola smiled: "What a coincidence, I also saw the horse whisperer she photographed, so I decided to choose her." She used to play small roles, but in my movie, she is the first time to be the protagonist, the first time to play an adult woman!"

"Adult female, how old is she?"

"At the end of this month, I will be 17 years old. ”

Tang En was surprised and said, "Isn't it immature to play an adult woman?"

"It's easy, I can do it!" Sofia Coppola waved her hand, then glanced at Don playfully, "Why don't you go with me for her birthday party?"

"Me?" Don immediately shook his head, "Forget it, I'm not familiar with her, I'll go, don't scare her." ”

"How could it be? She adores you!"

"Really?"

Sofia Coppola snorted, then leaned back and laughed, pointing at Donne, "I knew that you must have a bad idea when you have a bad stomach!

Don En blushed and said, "Everyone has a love for beauty, this is normal, okay? Besides, I just said it casually, and I wasn't sure I was going to go." ”

Sofia Coppola laughed for a while, and said, "But Don, I'm serious, she's very interested in you, and she usually asks me about you, especially"

"Especially what?"

Sofia Coppola hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "At that time, your Titanic was popular all over the world, and its fame was terrifying. It just so happened that when you were filming my grand Greek wedding, didn't we have slept a few times? ”

"Huh?" Donn frowned, "What are you talking about?" I'll be straight, Sophia, I don't have that kind of thought about you now as a good friend. ”

She is in her thirties, and she has completely lost the beautiful and handsome face she had a few years ago.

Sofia Coppola gritted her teeth and said, "You want it, I won't give it yet! Bastard! I'm talking about Scarlett!"

"We slept together, what does it have to do with her?"

"At that time you were in full swing, and the little girl admired and was curious about you, so she asked me a lot about you. ”

"What?"

Don En stared, thinking he had misheard, "You told her everything about the two of us going to bed?"

"Yes, we're good friends!"

"Stop!" Don asked in disbelief, "How old was she then? 13 or 14?

Sofia Coppola rolled her eyes, "What do you teach bad children, don't talk nonsense! She had a boyfriend at the time, and she still wanted that." But it was her first time, and she was a little scared and didn't understand much, so she asked me some questions. ”

When Tang En heard this, his face suddenly became gloomy.

Damn, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, just doing this kind of thing, the evil atmosphere of the US imperialism is really hateful!

Don's mood suddenly fell and he was sullen.

Sofia Coppola was a little amused when she saw it, she knew Donn very well, she was absolutely machismo, hooked the corners of her mouth and said: "But I told her at the beginning that Done Walker is a straight man with cancer and likes a good little girl." The next day, she broke up with her little boyfriend. ”

Tang En said indignantly: "So what? This one is divided, and there is another one!"

He's in a very bad mood right now.

There is a resentment that a good cabbage is arched by a pig.

"She should be a girl as far as I know. Sofia Coppola bit her lip and couldn't stop laughing.

Tang En waved his hand to disbelieve her nonsense, "Don't talk nonsense! A place like Lao Mei, after junior high school, is full of women!"

"Where's Natalie?"

"She's different! Her family is very traditional, especially her father, who is both conservative and strict, and does not allow her to socialize with male classmates at all, otherwise why do you think she has such a good academic performance? ”

Sofia Coppola laughed and tears were about to fall, "Donn, you're too bastard, aren't you?

Don said hatefully: "I'm just telling the truth! Damn, I sleep with the women I've dated, not eighty but fifty, except for Natalie, none of them are complete." ”

Even Sophia was counted in this paragraph, her face turned cold, and she said lightly: "You are really shameless! Believe it or not, Scarlett is a girl anyway, she told me! She is also Jewish!"

Don snorted coldly.

Sofia Coppola frowned, "So, you're not going to attend her birthday party?"

Donn remained silent.

Sofia Coppola was a little angry, stood up, and waved her hand, "Do you like to go! I'm too lazy to take you! I'm leaving!"

Walking to the door, Don suddenly stopped her from behind.

"Hey!wait!"

"What for?"

"What is her birthday?"

Sofia Coppola almost burst out laughing, and forced herself to say, "November 22nd, it happened to be Thanksgiving, what's wrong?"

"Ah, it's Thanksgiving! Hehe, I thought about it for a moment, and I happened to be okay that day. ”

"So you're going?"

"It's all in a circle, you can't look up and see you down, and it's okay to send a greeting card. ”

"Virtue! Duplicity!"

Sofia Coppola gave him a wide roll of the eye, full of sarcasm.

On November 16, the commercial blockbuster Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe co-produced by Down Pictures and Warner Bros. and directed by An Lee was officially released.

The film has an investment of 400 million US dollars, a publicity cost of more than 70 million, and is co-produced by Donn Pictures and Warner Pictures, two of the best Hollywood film quality companies today, with Universal Pictures participating in the distribution, and the influence is huge.

Blockbusters from all walks of life have retreated, so much so that this schedule has become a legendary one-man show in Narnia, with 3,682 theaters opened, surpassing the Pixar cartoon Monster Power Company, which is the largest opening of the year and the largest opening in Hollywood's history!

Needless to say, the Chronicles of Narnia box office was strong enough, with a three-day opening weekend and $89 million at the North American box office, making it the best film of the year!

However, box office receipts were slightly different from Warner's expectations.

Warner's estimate that in such a schedule, Narnia Legends lacks enough competitors, and it should not be difficult to break 100 million at the box office in the first three days of the first weekend.

In fact, the first two days were good, $32 million on Friday and $33 million on Saturday, but on Sunday, they only got $24 million.

Legends of Narnia has beautiful special effects and a strong reputation, what caused the box office results on the third day to drop by 27%?

The reason is simple, because of Brothers in Arms!

On November 18th, the last episode of Band of Brothers, landed on Starz TV!

During the prime time of this night, more middle-class people who can afford entertainment and consumption have chosen to stay at home to watch Band of Brothers!

The Chronicles of Narnia can be watched later, and the last episode of Brothers in Arms is only on that night!

Prior to this, the paid subscription families of the STA TV network had successfully exceeded 15 million, and the viewers of Band of Brothers that night reached a new high, exceeding 19 million in one fell swoop!

Such ratings are not inferior to similar professional cable networks such as HBO and SHO, even compared with large TV stations such as CBS, ABC, AND NBC in the same period!

Bill McNick has a monopoly on Done Films, and he will only come to Donn for his opinion if it is a very important decision.

After the premiere of Band of Brothers was completed, it was a joyous atmosphere.

But the next day, Bill McNick's face was a little ugly.

"What's wrong?"

Don was a little surprised, he had just received an email from Warner President Alan Horn, the content was full of enthusiasm, and the legendary success of Narnia had made the relationship between the two companies like a spring breeze.

"The issue of the Brothers in Arms replay rights bid. Bill McNick's tone was heavy.

Don En smiled: "Aren't they all confirmed? In addition to Starz TV, there are 5 other TV stations. ”

The North American TV rights of Brothers and Brothers were bought out by Down Pictures for $80 million, so the rebroadcast rights can be sold by Down Pictures in a high-profile manner.

In the past half month, more than 37 TV stations have asked to buy replay rights, but due to price, competition, favors and other factors, Bill McNick has confirmed a total of 5.

Among them, the historical channel had the highest bid, reaching $7.5 million, and the lowest bidder, USA Cable, also reached $5 million.

Down Pictures made $30 million by selling the North American replay rights to Band of Brothers!

Brothers in the TV field, the ability to attract money is comparable to the Titanic in the film field!

In this way, Donn spent $80 million to buy out the North American TV rights and global network rights of Brothers and Brothers, which is simply too cheap.

Bill McNick said in a deep voice: "Indeed, but the results of the Band of Brothers are so good, the sensational effect of the last episode is almost empty." Now another TV station has popped up!"

Don frowned, realizing that this new TV station must be extraordinary, otherwise Bill McNick would have rejected it directly.

Tang En Pictures has made it clear when it sells the rights to the rebroadcast of Brothers and Brothers that in addition to Starz TV, only 5 TV stations will get the rebroadcast rights, otherwise it is impossible to get such a high bid.

"Who?"

"Shotime channel. ”

"What?"

Don slapped the table and became angry!
