In the North American film market this past week, "Lord of the Rings 1: The Fellowship of the Ring" continued to hold the top spot at the box office, earning $32.7 million.

In second place is the focus of public opinion "Juno", which has expanded to 2,476 theaters and received $21.6 million at the box office.

Third place went to Warner Bros.'s Ocean's Eleven, which earned $14 million in its fifth week of release.

Down Pictures' film "Resident Evil" shrank 45% the next week, getting $10.67 million at the box office, and the North American box office is expected to be around $70 million.

Columbia Pictures' huge investment in "Black Hawk Down" shrank by more than 60% at the box office the next week, only getting $6 million, and it didn't even make it into the top 10.

The North American box office is $50 million, which is doomed to a big loss!

At this moment, Don's heart settled down a lot.

Disney must be terminating Jerry Bruckheimer's contract, right?

He has already failed two commercial productions in a row, and pushed forward one more, and his production of "Sixty Seconds" is also not good at the box office.

The data proves that he is outdated!

As for Sony Pictures...... I shouldn't have found Jerry Bruckheimer and Michael Bay to make "Jedi Men 2", right?

……

In the new year, Down Pictures has started a new round of new film preparation plans.

At present, preparations are for "National Treasure" and "Gone Girl", the main creators of the former have been basically determined, as long as they reach an agreement with Ron Howard, the film can start filming after the Oscars in early April, and the expected release schedule is August next year.

The starring candidate for "Gone Girl", Donn has already been contacted, the actor is Mel Gibson, the heroine is Nicole Kidman, and another Australian actor, Abby Cornish, will get a small role.

The producers are a husband and wife team, Katherine Kennedy and Frank Marshall, and Reese Witherspoon will also be involved in the production, as for the director...... There was hardly any controversy, and David Fincher was in charge.

Another big project, "Ghost Rider", Donn also told Marvel Studios that preparations can be started.

"Resident Evil" was filmed very well, and the box office and word-of-mouth were all blown up in the original version, reflecting Zack Snyder's personal strength.

Maybe he doesn't have enough leadership and command skills, and needs to accumulate more experience, but in terms of directing ability, he has met the requirements of Bill McNick and Nina Jacobson.

When the time comes, it will be enough to match him with an experienced and experienced executive producer to help him manage the affairs of the crew.

The film will be released in the summer of 2004, so there is plenty of time. But another comic film "Ant-Man" must hurry up, the schedule of this film is October next year, there are still 21 months to go, and the director and leading actor have not yet confirmed, and only a few drafts of the script have been completed.

According to Marvel Studios' current plan: "Spider-Man 2" was released in May 2002, "Daredevil" was launched in May 2003, and "Ant-Man" was released in October, "Ghost Rider" led the way in May 2004, "Spider-Man 3" in December, and "Iron Man" and "Ant-Man 2: The Appearance of the Wasp" in 2005......

Don has more and more work now, and many major matters have to wait for him to deal with, and he is no longer involved in the specific preparation of the movie, he is only responsible for approving the project, and the other work is handed over to the people below.

If he wasn't busy, he would definitely direct "Gone Girl" himself, but he has too many tasks this year.

In particular, there are still a lot of old monsters staring at you.

Awards season is here!

Kirk Douglas's power is on full display!

The United States has a very mature film industry, and there are dozens of film awards every year, such as the American Union Award, the Phoenix Film Critics Association, the American Audio Society Award, the Visual Effects Guild Award, the American Film Critics Choice Award, the North American Film Critics Association Award, the American Producers Guild Award, and the African American Film Critics Association Award......

Too much!

In addition to the Golden Globes and Oscars, the National Film Critics Association Awards, the New York Film Critics Circle Awards, and the Los Angeles Film Critics Awards are also very important.

However, the unexpected arose.

In the list of leading actresses for the National Film Critics Association Award and the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award, Natalie Portman, who has a wonderful performance in "Juno" and has been widely acclaimed, is unexpectedly nowhere on the list!

Although the New York Film Critics Association Award nominated Natalie, it was not selected.

This is in stark contrast to the strong call from the entire film critics for Natalie Portman!

Natalie's performance in "Juno" represents the youth of the United States and is a symbol of the times, and she is even considered likely to win this year's Oscar with "Juno"!

However, the reality is ...... It's hard for her to even get a nomination!

Because of the war in Afghanistan, it is still unknown whether the Oscars will be held as scheduled this year, and the academy has not yet made an official statement.

But the Golden Globes can't wait, and on January 20th, they will be presented at the Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills!

In the list of nominees announced in advance, "A Beautiful Mind" directed by Don En was the biggest winner, and won 6 nominations, including Best Picture in a Drama, Best Director, Best Actor in a Drama, Best Supporting Actress, Best Screenplay, and Best Film Score.

"Juno", which is also popular, also won three nominations for Best Drama Film, Best Director, and Best Screenplay, but it lacks Best Actress!

The Golden Globe Awards are voted for by 96 journalists, most of whom are entertainment journalists.

In order to get more first-hand news, Yu Ji usually has a lot of connections in Hollywood, and he also owes a lot of favors.

This makes the selection of the Golden Globe Awards very operable.

There have been many bribery scandals in history, such as a wealthy man who bought her a Best Supporting Actress award in order to please Xiaomi, which once caused a sensation in the United States.

Although the Golden Globe Awards Committee later stated that it would put an end to similar incidents, the selection system remains unchanged, and everything is nonsense.

Natalie failed to nominate and this made Don feel very bad!

"I thought you'd refuse to attend!"

On the evening of January 20th, Donn arrived at the Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, along with the crew of "A Beautiful Mind." Nicole Kidman had apparently heard something about it, and whispered in Donn's ear.

Tang En glanced at her and said lightly: "Refusing to attend, isn't that a sign of weakness?"

"Huh?"

Nicole Kidman was a little unresponsive.

The corners of Don's mouth hooked, and he sneered: "If I don't attend, the attitude I express is annoyed and angry, isn't this just in the hands of some people? I not only want to attend, but also attend in a high-profile manner! You hold me, let's appear together!"

Nicole Kidman wore a black dress with high slits and looming white thighs, which was already very eye-catching.

The scene where she appeared affectionately with Don En directly became a hot topic of conversation that night.

"I really didn't expect that they would find Natalie's breakthrough. Nicole Kidman sighed softly, "Poor Nat, I'm tired of you, her performance in "Juno" is really good." ”

Don's expression was indifferent, "What should come will always come!

Nicole Kidman looked at him strangely, and always felt that he was holding back his yin, this guy was not a loser.

"It's okay, let's go, it's all here. ”

Walking into the hotel, Don hugged Nicole Kidman's slender waist, ignoring the envious and jealous eyes of many passing men.

She is almost 35 years old, and her appearance is still against the sky!

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the best in Hollywood!

On the way, I saw Steven Spielberg, who was nominated for Best Director for "Artificial Intelligence".

Don was in a bad mood and didn't bother to pay attention to him, Spielberg hesitated, took the initiative to walk up, and lowered his voice: "Don, I support you in this matter." ”

Don En was a little sarcastic, "Yes, if I'm not mistaken, you're all one race!"

Spielberg looked a little embarrassed and glanced at Nicole Kidman.

"Don, I'll go sit over there first. Director Spielberg, your bow tie today is special. Nicole Kidman gave a generous compliment.

Spielberg smiled slightly, "Thank you, this is personally selected by my wife." ”

When she left, Spielberg whispered, "Jews are the number one force, no doubt because Hollywood was created by Jews." But that doesn't mean we're all the same. ”

"Huh?"

"Retirees, for their own benefit, maintain the traditional rules of the past and like to prioritize seniority, but first-line directors, actors, and even managers see the confinement of tradition in emerging markets. ”

Spielberg was able to say such a thing, and he definitely had his heart and lungs with Donn.

Donn smiled, "It seems that you and Kirk Douglas also have conflicts?"

Spielberg shook his head, "It's not a contradiction, but at least...... We are not on the same front, and his interests are contrary to mine. ”

In 1998, he filmed "Saving Private Ryan", but when the demand was very high, he failed to win the best picture, and Harvey Weinstein and Kirk Douglas teamed up to put "Shakespeare in Love" on the throne.

It was a thorn in Spielberg's heart, and he hasn't dealt with these two guys since.

What about the same ethnic group?

Far less important than interests!

For example, Michael Eisner, who is also Jewish, still chooses to be an ally with Donn.

Don pondered for a moment, "Steven, you say...... Can Nat be nominated for an Oscar?"

If you lose the Golden Globe Awards, you will not be selected, but the Oscars are very important!

Every nomination is a lifetime of glory!

Scarlett Johansson has made literary films for half her life, but she has never been nominated for an Oscar.

Spielberg's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "It's difficult! I said, retired people...... The interests are aligned. It is precisely those who are retired who will choose to work at the academy and serve the Oscars. ”

The green tendons on Donn's neck immediately burst out!()
