Chapter 89: A chance to turn over

The Oscars were about to start, and Don suddenly thought of something, "By the way, the agent's problem, has it been solved?"

Nicole Kidman bowed, "Well, thanks to you, I've already talked to Hilda Querry. ”

Don En smiled: "How's it, she's good, right?"

"It all feels pretty much the same," Pat Kingsley had taken Nicole with her from the start, which made her feel a little guilty.

Don cares all, this is Hollywood, and personal feelings are only an auxiliary to interests, "How did Hilda arrange a career plan for you?"

Nicole said softly: "She said that my main direction in recent years is to win awards, and don't take commercial films first, I agreed." ”

Don agreed, "Well, that's good, your height, it's very limited to take on commercial films, it's better to win the award first, let Tom Cruise see, you can live better without him!"

Nicole frowned, "Don't mention him!"

"Hehe, okay. By the way, is there a script?"

Nicole shook her head, "No, Hilda said that my current state is not very good, and there are too many reviews, wait for more than half a year, and then take the film." ”

"Half a year ......"

Tang En pondered for a moment, "Maybe Tang En Pictures can invest in a film when the time comes, and you will star in it." ”

"Let's talk about it. Nicole waved her hand gently, "The ceremony is about to begin." ”

This year's Oscars were broadcast live by ABC across the United States, and black actress Whoopi Goldberg was the host for the third time.

For such an out-of-shape aunt, Tang En really can't appreciate it, and he really doesn't understand the producer's employment strategy, is it to drive the black cleaning rate?

Don was a little disappointed.

In the end, "My Grand Greek Wedding", which won the best screenplay at the Golden Globe Awards, lost on the Oscar stage, and the Best Original Screenplay award was won by "Shakespeare's Love History".

The Best Actress award was also won by Gwyneth Paltrow.

Is it watery?

Indeed, this is likely to be the most watery actress at the Oscars.

But is it reasonable?

Quite reasonable, because there is no alternative.

is the race for Best Picture, "Shakespeare in Love" defeated "Saving Private Ryan" to win the title, which is a bit unreasonable and shows the domineering of the Oscars.

Although Donn didn't win anything in terms of awards, this Oscar night was a carnival.

Nicole Kidman has also let go of her reserve, in fact, since she moved into Donn's house more than a month ago, she has been mentally prepared enough, and this day will come sooner or later.

Fortunately, Donn's strength and gentleness gave her enough joy and relaxation.

……

In fact, when "Titanic" was filmed, Tom Rothman had a great opportunity to overturn Bill McNick and become the big boss of Twentieth Century Fox.

But Don Walker is like the chosen one, who appeared out of nowhere, solved Bill McNick's urgent need, and even won a record global box office of nearly $1.9 billion!

The success of "Titanic" made Tom Rothman's painstaking management completely fail.

The subsequent successful release of "My Grand Greek Wedding" won Bill McNick the recognition and trust of News Corporation's top management.

Fox Film didn't invest a penny, and made more than $80 million through distribution alone, which was definitely the most successful deal in Hollywood that year!

And the release of videotapes and DVDs, coupled with the sharing of 20% of the film copyright, the total revenue brought by this film to Fox Films is definitely more than 100 million US dollars!

The appearance of Donn not only disrupted Tom Rothman's strategy of fighting for power, but also put Bill McNick in a position of ascendancy.

Now Twentieth Century Fox has completely become a word of Bill McNick, although Tom Rothman is the president, but the only project he really controls in his hands is the superhero movie that Bill has always been unoptimistic about - "X-Men".

As the company's second-in-command, Tom Rothman's power is not even as good as that of one of Bill McNick's henchmen, how can this be endured?

Finally, Tom Rothman has taken a chance!

The successive successes have caused Bill McNick to say that this is a double-edged sword.

If you succeed, you will naturally have the discernment and talent, but you will fail...... You have to take full responsibility.

Last year, Bill McNick teamed up with producer Arnhorne Milkan to make a film adaptation of a suspenseful crime novel by Chuck Palahnik called "Fight Club."

Because he is very optimistic about this movie, Bill McNick invited David Fincher as the director, and Brad Pitt, Helena Carter, Howard Norton and other powerful actors joined, and he was ambitious.

An R-rated film with an investment of up to $65 million!

Several Fox Film executives have advised Bill McNick to be cautious, and Brad Pitt has never been a box office guarantee.

But Bill has been carried away by the success, and his attitude is resolute, and he even declares that this will be a classic movie that can go down in history!

Now that the movie has been filmed, Tom Rothman watched some of the shots, and his heart was already as beautiful as a peach blossom in spring.

This movie is bound to fail!

Black, deep, cult, neurotic......

This is obviously a niche film, but it has been made into an A-level big production, even if there is Brad Pitt, it will not save the future box office trend!

Tom Rothman, who has been in the film for many years, is very sure that "Fight Club" will be finished!

And Bill McNick, the biggest behind-the-scenes driver of this movie, will definitely be the target of public criticism, and as the biggest person responsible for the failure of the movie, he must pay the price.

Tom Rothman sometimes laughs when he is alone in his office, because he finally sees the hope of Bill McNick stepping down, and sees the day when he takes the helm of Twentieth Century Fox.

However, a piece of news completely shattered Tom Rothman's beautiful illusions.

Down Pictures has produced another movie, which is the follow-up to "My Grand Greek Wedding" - "Wedding Proud"!

Tom Rothman was straight up for stupidity.

He didn't understand, where did this Donn Walker come from, and how did he go against himself everywhere?

First "Titanic" saved Bill McNick from the crisis, then "My Grand Greek Wedding" was the icing on the cake, and now Tom Rothman is ready to wait for the box office fiasco of "Fight Club", and then join forces to bring down Bill McNick.

Unexpectedly, Tang En sent another movie "Wedding Proud Guest".

Is this a send-off?

Tom Rothman no longer dared to despise Don as much as he did at the beginning, despite the fact that this man was young, but he was no worse than any veteran filmmaker who has been in the industry for decades.

He can make "My Grand Greek Wedding" a big success, and even crush "Saving Private Ryan" at the North American box office, presumably he can also make "Wedding Proud" a box office hit.

Tom Rothman is a little out of breath, if "Wedding Prouder" is handed over to Bill McNick for distribution and makes tens of millions of dollars in profits, even if "Fight Club" fails at the box office, how can his position be shaken?

Tom Rothman doesn't want to wait any longer, even if it's one more minute, he doesn't want to put up with Bill McNick's power squeeze, he has to take precautions to prevent Bill McNick from taking over "The Wedding Guest"!

"It's just...... How do you cut off their ties? Don and Bill have always had a good relationship. ”

Sitting in his office, Tom Rothman smoked a cigar, his eyes hallucinated and distracted.

Suddenly, his eyes narrowed, and then they opened suddenly, revealing a bit of essence.
