Natalie Portman is a "nerd". In her sophomore year of high school, she won the Intel Science Talent Exploration Award for a paper titled "Exploring a Simple Enzyme Method for Preparing Hydrogen from Sugar".

It is well known that the level of teaching in public schools is far inferior to that of private schools. Natalie studied in a public high school, and while studying and filming, she was able to write an undergraduate-level essay on chemistry, which was published in a professional academic journal, and immediately caused a national sensation.

Especially when she was admitted to Harvard, Yale and other prestigious universities with straight A's, even the New York Times exclaimed that Natalie Portman's IQ has the potential to become the president of the United States.

But when I got to university, things changed.

Courses in college, especially psychology majors, are very difficult.

When Done came to Cambridge to see her, she couldn't help complaining, "I've decided to stop filming next year and stop filming!"

"What's wrong?" Donn was a little amused, "Didn't you beg me to work with Director Spielberg?"

Natalie cried and said, "I missed too many classes and my grades were too bad!"

"Failed?"

"Nonsense!" Natalie glared at him fiercely, then pouted, "My neurobiology grades are out, it's a B!"

"B? ”

"But I've never been this bad, I've always been A or A before!"

Tang En couldn't help but roll his eyes, discussing his grades with Xueba was the stupidest thing, "Okay, it's okay to rest the shadow." In just a few years in college, I spend more time with friends and classmates, and there will be many opportunities to act. ”

Natalie turned her worries into joy, took Donn's arm, and walked on the green path of the school with a happy face, "Why did you come here suddenly? Aren't you busy at work?"

"I'm going to buy two companies, and I'm in a bit of trouble. So through a headhunt, Brandi was found. Oh, Brandi Norris, a VP at Goldman Sachs, who has run a lot of mergers and acquisitions, and I want to poach him and make him CFO. ”

Tangen Pictures has acquired several companies in the past, but they are all film and television companies in the circle, which are semi-market-oriented transactions. It's easy to operate through a relationship with Bill McNick, or Michael Ovitz, or CAA.

But IMAX and Dolby Laboratories are two technology companies, and the connections in the entertainment industry naturally have no effect, and more professional financial talents are needed.

Moreover, in the next few years, Tangen Pictures may have several large-scale acquisitions, and it will also have to adjust the equity structure and prepare for listing, which requires a talent who is proficient in finance, accounting, investment, financing, mergers and acquisitions, etc.

"Oh!"

Natalie responded dumbfounded, paused for a moment, and then looked up at him, "Then will you still film in the future?"

"Huh?" Don looked at her in surprise, "Shoot, I'm a director! Bill Gates is the richest man, and he often writes code, this is an old business, and he can't lose it." ”

Natalie pursed her lips and smiled, "That's good, I thought we wouldn't have a chance to work together!"

Don En's heart softened, and he reached out to put his arm around her shoulder, "Of course there is! Besides, we didn't work together less, the last Star Wars, did you forget?"

"I didn't forget. Natalie's face was filled with happiness, "But it's a Jedi movie, and I'm nominally a heroine, but I don't really have any roles." ”

"What about 'Soul Shifter'? If 'Soul Shifter' is a supporting actress, what about 'Juno'? You're always the heroine, right?"

"That's not counting, you're a producer, not a director. ”

Tang En nodded, understanding what she meant, "Okay, when you graduate from college, we will definitely work together to make a special classic movie!"

Natalie smiled and pointed in the direction to the right, "There's a library ahead, do you want to check it out?"

Don said: "Forget it, I don't want to be watched." Let's go sit on the lawn over there...... Lie down for a while and let me smell the dirt of Harvard too. ”

The two avoided many students who were sitting on the grass reading and chatting, and lay down side by side in a corner, but it was far less beautiful than they imagined, and Don couldn't help but complain: "It's too bad with the grass!"

Natalie sneered, "It's autumn, you should come in spring!"

Tang En sighed: "Spring? You know, at that stage, you have to be busy with the awards season first, and then you have to be busy with the summer file, but you can't spare time." ”

Natalie thought of something, suddenly turned over, supported her fair chin with one hand, revealing a delicate and playful face, and said with interest: "By the way, the agent told me to prepare for the pre-screening promotion of "Juno". ”

Tang En frowned, "Why don't I go and say it, you can study with peace of mind, don't participate in the publicity work, anyway, it's the awards season, and free publicity is the focus." ”

For small-scale literary films like "Juno", which are slow-paced and lack enough explosive points, but have the prospect of winning awards, Hollywood has a set of special distribution methods.

In mid-to-late December, screenings began, because the Oscars stipulate that only films released in the previous year can participate in this year's Oscars.

Taking advantage of the spring breeze of the awards season, almost all entertainment newspapers will focus their reports on the award-winning films, which is free publicity. Therefore, after the film was screened in December, in January of the following year, it began to officially land in theaters on a large scale.

The schedule of "Juno" has been set, and on December 21, the film will be opened on the scale of 11 theaters, forming a wave of word-of-mouth publicity by film critics, and it will not be officially launched until January of the following year.

Of course, it would be better if there was publicity in the early stage.

The film's producers, promoters and agencies will not miss this opportunity.

Don disagreed, a movie is just a movie, far less important than a girlfriend.

Unexpectedly, Natalie smiled and said, "I think it's funny, I'm going!"

"Huh?"

"You don't know, do you? I've already told Jimmy Show that when I'm on the show, I'll sing a song, which is very interesting. ”

Done's eyes widened, "Singing, baby, do you still sing?"

Natalie snorted, "Don't you look down on people? I studied ballet when I was a kid, performed in stage plays, and had an agency that wanted to sign me as a model! ”

"It's good to refuse!"

"Don't interrupt!"

Natalie pinched Donn's nose and smiled coquettishly, "I was at Solomon Shechter Elementary School in Canyon Bay, and there was an orchestra at the school, and I signed up for it, and guess what?"

Don looked at her stupidly, "No, you're the lead singer?"

"Of course!" Natalie shook her head triumphantly, "but I wasn't as talented as little Taylor, and then my mom found out about it, and I threw myself into being an actor." ”

Done's eyes lit up, "What song are you singing?"

Natalie sold, "Aha, you'll know when the time comes, I promise to surprise you!"

Don was even more interested, "I can also write songs......! How's your singing skills?"

"Better than you anyway!"

"Bragging!"

"You don't believe me?"

"You sing one?"

"There are too many people here......"

……

"I know, yes, I do. Mr. Douglas, you are too modest, hehe, that's right, the contradiction between me and Don is irreconcilable!"

Michael Eisner is answering the phone, opposite Kirk Douglas, Hollywood's Jewish bigwig.

"It is undeniable that that kid has achieved a lot in the field of commercial films, but Hollywood is not the world of commercial films!" Kirk Douglas's voice was rich and powerful, "When Walt founded Disney, I also helped a little, of course, Disney can have today's results, you are a great contributor." ”

Michael Eisner responded with a smile: "Mr. Douglas, thank you for the compliment. You can rest assured, Don is our common enemy, and we are on the same front. ”

Kirk Douglas said: "The box office market is not moving, but I still have some friends in the awards market, especially recently what slogan he has put forward 'new order, new model, new Hollywood'? Many old friends have been deeply dissatisfied with him. Disney's work should create good public opinion and not cause too much controversy. ”

He wants to win Don through awards, but the reputation of "A Beautiful Mind" is too good, and if it is too harsh, it will cause a strong backlash from public opinion.

This requires a media giant like Disney to do public relations.

It can't be helped.

The leadership of several major media giants in the United States, Time Warner, and AOL, is in charge of the Turner Group, Time Group, and AOL, and Warner Bros. is not ranked at all.

Viacom is not to mention, Lei Shidong doesn't eat that.

News Corp.'s headquarters are also in New York.

Kirk Douglas can connect with Disney's Michael Eisner.

It just so happened that Michael Eisner and Donn had a deep conflict that could be used by me.

Judging from the communication on the phone, the effect is good!

Unbeknownst to him, as soon as he hung up the phone, Michael Eisner's face sank and he scolded angrily: "Old thing!"

Of course, he and Don are enemies, but they are not friends with Kirk Douglas either!

This group of Hollywood antiques is a group of moths, which is a headache.

In Michael Eisner's view, the main reason why Disney movies have not done well at the box office in recent years is that the old guys intervene too much and use a set of outdated concepts to fantasize about commercial blockbusters in the new era.

"Hey!"

Michael Eisner rubbed his head and let out a long sigh.

Now, how can he still have the heart to suppress Donne?

He can't even get mixed up himself!

Outside, there are checks and balances on the interests of Time Warner, Viacom, and Down Pictures, and inside, a large number of shareholders and directors have jumped out to tell the truth and wrong.

The sudden outbreak of the "911" incident made the entire Disney even worse!

"I'll help you get Donn, can you help me get Summera Leishidong, can you help me get Roy Disney, can you help me get the Bass family? stupid madman!"

Michael Eisner slammed the table with a sneer.
