Chapter 735: Planning and Implementation

There aren't many people in the restaurant and it's quiet enough, Gael? Gadot had already put down the knife and fork, but his delicate face was tight, and a pair of eyes looked at his agent. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.infoβˆ½β†—βˆ½, β†—

She was able to enter Hollywood because of Natalie? Portman's introduction, the other party is the only friend in the circle.

Pursed lips tightly, Gail? Gadot is hesitating, betraying his friend for such a thing......

"Gail, there are some things you have to figure out!"

Blake is just a very inconspicuous agent for William Morris, Gail? Gadot is his most potential client and his hope for the future, "They don't want you to do much, just pass on Natalie's current public relations Oscar for Best Actress in a timely manner, and what you can get will be the absolute protagonist of a big production with an investment of at least $150 million!" ”

Gail? Gadot's eyes began to flicker......

"It's not the marginalized way of being in "Fast and Furious," and Nancy? Josephson has been in contact with me, regardless of Natalie? Portman's impact on the Oscar for Best Actress is a success or a failure, we can all join ICM in the future, and ICM will also treat you as a first-class customer! ”

"Yes...... "Gail?" Gadot finally spoke, giving a name, "Is this his promise?" ”

Blake shook his head directly, "Don't be stupid, Gail, how could he be involved in such a thing himself." But Nancy? Josephson's promises are equally credible. ”

Gail? Gadot gradually lowered his head, and his tense expression was gradually replaced by hesitation.

"One step forward is an opportunity to become a superstar...... "Black continues to persuade, "and this kind of opportunity is not something that everyone can find in Hollywood." ”

Opportunities are always rare, and opportunities are much more important than acting in this circle, Gail? Gadot is well aware of this.

Is it with Natalie? Is Portman's friendship more important, or is it more important to take a step towards becoming a superstar?

Gail? Gadot slowly closed his eyes. It's not a difficult choice at all, is it?

The absolute protagonist of a major production of more than 150 million dollars! ICM's Tier 1 Customers!

These are all distant for her now, maybe there is only one such opportunity in her life, if she can't catch it, she will be like most actresses in Hollywood, ups and downs in this circle......

She came to Los Angeles from Israel and transitioned from modeling to showbiz. Isn't it just to become a superstar?

Slowly open your eyes, Gail? The hesitation on Gadot's face vanished without a trace, and she nodded slowly but surely to Blake.

In fact, it is not very difficult to take this step, and I believe that other people in their own position will make the same choice.

When you walk out of the restaurant, Gail? Gadot told herself.

As for Natalie? Portman's Oscar dream of Best Actress, what does it have to do with her? She got the little golden man of the actress, and it was not herself who profited!

Determined what to do, Gail? Gadot no longer hesitated.

Port of Malibu. The Duke blew its whistle and slowly sailed out of the offshore along the fairway, above the yacht's wide top deck. Coppola closed the script and looked at the sea in the distance, then at Duke.

She asked in a faint nasal voice, "Do you want Scarlett to hit the Oscar for Best Actress with such a film?" ”

Duke shrugged, "Isn't that okay?" ”

"It's a science fiction movie!" Sophia pushes the script back in front of Duke. "How is this possible?"

"If it could be done easily, I wouldn't have to bring you here." Duke curled his fingers. tapped lightly on the top of the script, "And the sci-fi flavor in the script is not strong." ”

Since such a film can produce the best director, it is not impossible to produce a best actress.

He said to Sophia, "Scarlett still has her own advantages, she starred in literary films, and she is also a Jewish. Popularity is also ......"

Sophia couldn't help but pout, "What kind of advantages are these?" ”

"My dear, Scarlett has known you since she was less than ten years old, and you've always treated Scarlett as a sister......" Duke said, spreading his hands, "Don't you really help?" ”

"I personally certainly have no problem. But ......" Sophia shook her head.

"It's okay, I'll ask your father out to play golf sometime." Duke looked at her and said, "You just need to get a few words out of the Italian-American judges." ”

"Okay." Sophia could only nod, after all, Duke and Scarlett both had a deep relationship with her, "I'll do my best." ”

She saw Scarlett carrying a tray up the stairs to the deck, and said, "Don't forget Leonardo, he can help too." ”

"I already told him when he came to me the other day to fish."

Duke stood up, took the tray from Scarlett's hand, and placed the drink and fruit on it in front of everyone's seats, Scarlett plucked a grape, threw it into her mouth, and asked, "What are you talking about?" ”

"Scarlett? Miss Johnson's Oscar for Best Actress Raiders! "Sophia? Coppola teased.

Sitting next to Duke, Scarlett said, "It's still far away, isn't it too early to make plans?" ”

"This kind of thing ......," Duke said, turning back to the table behind him, "the sooner we plan for it, the better we can create a situation in our favor, and the more we can be sure of it." ”

The Oscars can be said to be a very systematic project.

Now that he has made up his mind to prevent someone from winning the prize, Duke must have a well-thought-out plan to implement it.

After two days in the Pacific Ocean, Duke left the yacht in a helicopter and flew back to Los Angeles alone to attend the North American premiere of "Flying House."

The animated feature film premiered at the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, rather than the Los Angeles Dome that Pixar Studios had previously staged for the premieres of Ratatouille and WALL-E.

The change of theater, in a sense, also represents the end of the cold route represented by "Robot Wall-E" and the return to the mainstream of business.

For many years, there was an unwritten rule in Los Angeles that no film that was shown at the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood would be shown at the Los Angeles Dome Theatre.

While Hollywood's Chinese Theatre has long been synonymous with commercial films, Los Angeles' Dome Theatre is known for its independent films and literary and artistic films.

Both Duke and Warner are happy to see this situation, and they swallowed Pixar Studios, not so that they could make award-winning films, Pixar Studios is in the spotlight in Hollywood, not because of "Wall-E", but because its animated films can generate huge revenues from the box office to the periphery.

If Pixar Studios evolves into a studio that can only make films like "Wall-E." Won't make any sense to Duke and Warner.

Personally, Duke likes "Wall-E" far more than "Cars", but in terms of practical needs, he hopes that Pixar Studios will have more "Cars".

This is business, and it is impossible to judge it by personal perception.

It is an adventure-themed comedy with two protagonists, an elderly man and an energetic child.

They have been through a lot of things and become friends, because of their personality differences, they will often quarrel, they will take risks while arguing, this story brings the audience laughter, in addition to relaxation, the audience can also feel some of the messages that the film conveys to the audience, such as courage, or how precious the good memories are.

"Flying House Travel" completely abandons the cold route, there are children and old people, generation gaps and integration, dreams and losses.

In fact, its structure is not complicated, the two protagonists from opposition to fusion is a common trick in the movie, and 3D technology makes this cartoon look better, it is the packaging combination of these simple elements that finally presents a not simple movie.

During the 84 minutes of the screening, the adventure with tears and laughter not only amused the children, but also provoked the adults who accompanied the children to cry.

This movie has the childhood of an adult.

"Flying House" earned nearly $70 million at the North American box office in the first three days of its first weekend, and $230 million in North America in less than 20 days, making it one of the best money-making machines among animated films in recent years.

This film also allowed Pixar Studios to get rid of the previous low point of popularity, and the popularity of the film among the public can also guarantee that more merchandise will be sold.

For Duke and Warner, that's where Pixar Studios comes in.

Like Pixar's earliest developments, they created all sorts of technologies, but they were still ugly ducklings, until "Toy Story" took the 1995 North American box office of the year, and became the white swan in everyone's eyes.

A Pixar studio that can't make a profit can't get Hollywood's attention at all.

At the same time, the screening of "Fury Road" is gradually approaching the end, and even Duke, the director, has to admit that although such an R-rated film has won unanimous praise from the media and audiences, the theatrical screening life is far less than that of those popular PG or PG-13 films.

The North American box office of "Fury Road" has now reached $256.23 million, and the potential of the theatrical market has been exhausted, and the remaining screenings are just a routine harvest of the last few remaining audiences.

In terms of the global market, the film's overseas and North American box office combined exceeded the $600 million mark, reaching $621.55 million.

It's just that the overseas market is facing the same situation as North America, and it is impossible to have explosive box office growth.

Duke's energy has also left "Fury Road" and is ready to start preparing for the new film "Inception". (To be continued.) )
