Chapter 45: Fame and Fortune
Chen Long was also promoting movies in Hollywood, and was really asked by the media about Chen Tiandu.
How did he know where this person named Chen Tiandu came from, but recently this name is incredible. As the screenwriter and assistant director of Spielberg's annual drama "Saving Private Ryan", he successfully persuaded DreamWorks to invest 30 million to make a horror film in less than half a year after coming to the United States.
Now this horror film has won two consecutive titles and has a high rating on ImdB. Even now, it still has a high rating of 8.7 points, which still overshadows "Saving Private Ryan".
"Although he is a newcomer, his films are very thoughtful, and I will look forward to meeting this little fellow. You said cooperation, this will be said later, after all, we don't know ...... box office of "Rush Hour" compared to "The Sixth Sense"? Personally, of course, I hope to have a good result, the higher the better. ”
"Rush Hour" was successfully released, and the reputation is not bad.
A standard popcorn action movie, Chenlong has also become popular in Hollywood over the years, starring in a Hollywood big-investment action movie for the first time, and adding many of his unique action essentials, naturally the beauties can't take their eyes off it.
The box office numbers in the past few days have also reached Chenlong's ears, and he is in a good mood, and he is very happy to promote it in the United States.
But the third week is over, and the box office results are announced. "The Sixth Sense" won 3o.56 million box office, a drop of only 36%, and the total box office accumulated to 116.56 million US dollars, officially breaking 100 million.
And the box office of "Rush Hour" was 2.89 million in the first week, which is regrettable.
An eye-popping fact, "The Sixth Sense" has won three times in a row.
When Chen Long saw this number, he immediately frowned, and for the first time began to take the initiative to pay attention to this young man who single-handedly killed from the mainland to Hollywood. Don't blame him for despising people, is there really a big-box office movie in the mainland this year? Although Hong Kong's reputation as "Oriental Hollywood" is gradually weakening, when it comes to Chinese-language movies, Hong Kong movies are the first thing that comes to mind.
DreamWorks has made a lot of money and started to find ways to do some new promotion, and talk shows are a good choice. There are also some programs that have begun to take the initiative to invite the leading actors of "The Sixth Sense" to participate.
Chen Tiandu, a 23-year-old Chinese, is naturally the center of the topic as a director, screenwriter, and starring in many positions. But he didn't know much about the American talk show model, so when he went there for the first time, he was full of excitement and wanted to blow it up. But the host was stunned and kept talking about the "American dream".
It seems that he, a Chinese, is not exhibiting in China, and the conditions are so difficult to go to Hollywood, and after all kinds of difficulties, he finally made a movie with a box office of over 100 million, which is the best portrayal of the American dream when the new century is coming.
He actually became the representative of the American dream, Bichi!
Chen Tiandu's eloquence is naturally not as good as that of the extravagant host, and he was interrupted unreasonably several times, and he almost wanted to throw his sleeves and leave, but he held back, he didn't have that capital. Throughout the night, he became an ornament, and his stupid makeup was tossed to let others see his various brain-dead behaviors.
When the recording was finally over, Katzenberg called and asked, "Christmas, how about attending the show, it's the longest-lived talk show in the United States." ”
"Shit! Stop talking to me, shitty American dream, I'm not going to be on any TV shows. He hung up the phone hard. He remembered the show, "Saturday Night Live," the show that had played him all night.
“……”
After calming down for a while, he realized that he had scolded Katzenberg just now, and quickly dialed back again, "I'm sorry, Mr. Katzenberg, I didn't target you just now. I was just...... Not yet familiar with the rhythm of American TV shows. You know, although I have been in the United States for more than a year, I am just a traditional Chinese at heart, and there are some things that I can't let go. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. ”
Katzenberg said: "It's okay, I should have communicated with the TV station first, and I forgot to tell you how to excel on the talk show." In a sense, the 'American Dream' is deceptive. I received an invitation to "Oprah's talk show", and next time there will be no such thing. ”
Chen Tian knows the name of "Oprah Talk Show", which is the most widely watched talk show in the United States. But he still shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I really don't want to participate in this kind of show anymore." If you want to promote, I think Kate, Haley, and Charlize will be more suitable than me. ”
Charlize is happy about this, you must know that an actress like her is not qualified to be invited to participate in major TV shows, let alone "Oprah Talk Show".
Her agent was also overjoyed, originally only taking on the supporting role of the movie under the DreamWorks brand, but unexpectedly became the first film in Charlize's life to exceed 100 million at the box office. Moreover, the word-of-mouth box office was a bumper harvest, and the response was unexpected, which greatly increased Charlize's popularity and popularity.
Now that the movie wants to be promoted, Charlize is naturally willing, and Lehehe has followed several promotions.
Kate also confided in many behind-the-scenes stories on the Oprah talk show, and she commented that "The Sixth Sense" is one of the smartest scripts she has ever read.
"The first time I heard this story was in a coffee shop. At that time, not a single text had been seen. Christmas just told me the whole story, and he told it a little messily, but strangely, after listening to him, I actually had the whole story in my head. Then I felt that I had to play a role no matter what. ”
Oprah was keenly aware of something, "How did you meet Christmas Chan?" It seems like you've known each other for a long time. ”
"Oh, that's kind of unbelievable."
Kate hesitated, she loved the show and eventually said, "The house he rents is next door to mine." I was sleepy that day, but the move next door was noisy, so I rushed out in my pajamas to teach my impolite neighbor a lesson. Then he saw Tom Hanks, Vin Diesel, and Matt Damon helping him move. Yes, it's the main cast of the crew of "Saving Private Ryan......"
These insider information naturally interest fans.
"It's kind of a fantasy, Tom Hanks helped him move, oh my god. If Chen wasn't lucky, then he was a really likable lad. Did he pursue you, after all, such a beautiful female neighbor lives next door. ”
Kate was fooled and covered her face and didn't know what to say.
Oprah laughed, "Ha, be honest, there's nothing bad to say, girl." ”
"Okay." Kate sighed, "Yes, he pursued me, and then that's it." She blushed and smiled a little happily. There was a whistling sound.
"Wow, that sounds like a great love story." Oprah laughed, "Then do you know why he turned down my invitation to the show?" I heard that when Chen participated in a talk show for the first time, he was played very badly and had some unpleasantness, which made him disgusted with talk shows. Is that so? The episode of "Saturday Night Live" had already aired, and Chen Tiandu became an enviable guy, so he was miserable for a while in the show, and became the laughing stock of Americans after dinner.
Kate hurriedly shook her head, "I don't think that's the case, he just hasn't adapted to the rhythm of the talk show yet, and he's not unhappy." But I really don't plan to participate in talk shows recently, it's just a work arrangement, and it doesn't mean anything else. ”
Oprah said, "Okay, don't embarrass you. Chen is a very handsome young man, especially with a pair of charming and deep eyes. I really hope that he won't really never participate in talk shows again. ”
"Thank you." Kate was grateful. This is also one of the reasons why Oprah is famous, always in moderation, and does not make the guests feel too embarrassed.
In this wave of publicity, Kate is not the only one who is the protagonist.
The superb performance of child star Haley Jo Osmond has been regarded by national film critics as one of the favorite nominees for next year's Oscars. Charlize's beauty has also entered the eyes of Hollywood producers. This South African diamond beauty, no matter where she goes, can't bury her style.
(Crazy for tickets, for collections!) )
