When the time came to June, the heat wave of "Star Wars Episode 1: The Menace of the Ghost Man" began to travel across the ocean and spread around the world.
Although the film has been released for more than ten days in North America, the popularity has not diminished, and the pomp is unprecedented, even surpassing the release of "Titanic" that year.
The major film companies have avoided it one after another. At this time, the movies that compete with "Star Wars" are cannon fodder, and no one will use their own flagship movies to be released during this period.
New Line Cinema's "Spy 2," June 11; Disney's "Tarzan," June 16; Paramount's "The General's Daughter," June 18; Sony Pictures The "Fake Dad" will be released on June 25; Warner's "Rapper" will be released on June 30; Paramount's "South Park" will be released on June 30...
Throughout the month of June, the major film companies have been fighting hard to grab the film market like crazy.
Interestingly, everyone avoided the schedule in early June, leaving a full ten-day window for "Star Wars Episode 1: The Menace of the Ghost Man".
There's no way, they'd rather fight each other than to be wiped out in the frenzy of Star Wars.
The impression left by "Titanic" is too deep!
At this time, Natalie Portman also completed her final exam and came to California with her mother.
Shirley Hirschler contacted her with a crew and wanted her to take advantage of the summer vacation to shoot a movie. When Dunn heard about it, his face was not very good.
"I disagree!"
When Dunn heard about it, he immediately rejected it, holding Natalie's little hand, "Nate, I have arranged your career plan, I will make you the best and most dazzling female star in Hollywood, you can't Bad movie!"
"Bad movie?" Natalie and Dunn wore sunglasses and walked on the street casually, "You mean "Sweetheart" is a bad movie? I've read the script, it's pretty good, and this is 20th Century Fox The main love movie."
Seeing that Dunn's face was not very good, Natalie burst into a smile, "Aren't you afraid that I will kiss an actor in the movie? No way!"
Tang En waved his hand with a serious face, "Honey, I have investigated that movie, and the investment was only 15 million US dollars. The director is even more inexplicable. He has only made TV dramas before. Don't you believe my judgment? "
He was a little heartbroken.
Natalie's acting skills are excellent, she is more charming than Hua Hua, she is talented and beautiful, and she is insulated from scandals.
After the age of 18, before she got married, she never fell out of the top three in the selection of goddesses in various American newspapers and magazines, and most of them came out on top.
But such an actress who looks perfect has never really become a Hollywood first-line star!
Even after she participated in the "Star Wars" trilogy and relied on "Black Swan" to be sealed, she was still a little short of the first-line position, and the salary was stuck at the threshold of 10 million US dollars.
How sad this is.
Attributed to the reason, it is similar to Nicole Kidman.
Nicole has become a box office poison because of her agent's problems, but she has a good reputation.
Natalie is sad. She has acted in many movies, the box office is poison, and word of mouth is poison!
The reason is very simple. Natalie's manager is her mother, who is a hundred blocks worse than Pat Kingsley!
It can be seen from the fact that she received a movie like "Sweetheart" for Natalie, Shirley Hirschler had almost zero vision in choosing a movie, and she was lucky to be able to take a movie like "Stolen Heart".
Seeing Tang En's heavy face and pity and distress, Natalie seemed to realize something, and she approached Tang En's arms gently and raised her delicate face, "Dan En, did I do something wrong?"
"No, you're right." Tang En shook his head frequently and sighed, "But your mother, Mrs. Hushler, is not a professional agent."
With Natalie's intelligence, she naturally understood what Dunn meant, and frowned a little displeasedly, "But she's a mother!"
"That can't ruin your future!"
Tang En felt a little heavy, and kissed her on the forehead lightly, "Nate, you'll be eighteen soon, you can make your own decisions."
Natalie pouted, "You don't want me to make my own decisions, you want me to listen to you."
Dunn said: "But in terms of movies, don't you think... I'm more trustworthy than Mrs. Hirschler?"
"Um."
Natalie nodded without hesitation, "I believe you, Dunn. But... what about my mother?"
"I'll go tell her, I believe she can understand you."
Dunn is full of confidence. He has basically understood Shirley Hirschler's mind and is very sure.
"But what about Fox's side? I've already signed the contract." Natalie blinked her eyes and looked at him with a half-smile.
Tang En pinched her face lightly and said with a smile, "I'll deal with it! Don't say you just signed the contract, even if it's signed, I can help you!"
"Hee hee, I knew you were the best!"
Natalie raised her chin proudly and hugged Dunn's arm, looking very happy.
"Nate, believe me, I will definitely make you the most splendid female star in Hollywood!" Dunn put his arms around her shoulders and looked into the distance.
Natalie smiled and looked at her playfully, "Brighter than Katharine Hepburn?"
"Katherine Hepburn?" Dunn paused, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, "It's just four Oscar winners, it's no big deal!"
"Bragging!"
Natalie rubbed her nose at her.
Tang En was amused by her cute appearance, "By the way, you finished high school, which university did you apply for?"
"A total of three, Harvard, Yale, Princeton." Natalie said lightly.
Tang En couldn't help but rolled his eyes.
He is indeed a scholar!
These three universities are recognized as the three most difficult universities in the United States.
"After studying in college, what major are you planning to study?" Dunn hopes that Natalie can study management and help him manage the company after graduation.
Unexpectedly, Natalie said without thinking, "Clinical psychology."
"Ah? Why?" Tang En raised his eyebrows.
Natalie said angrily: "I want to study human psychology, especially you, you have three female companions at home, and you are kissing me with your underage girlfriend outside, UU reading will not be negative. Guilt?"
"Cough cough!"
Dunn sweated profusely, "Honey, didn't we agree that we won't talk about this topic."
"Why don't you talk about it?" Natalie snorted and gave him a wide-eyed look, "I didn't say it before, now I understand it, I must face this topic, otherwise after I go to college, we will be separated. There must be a problem."
Dunn was astonished, "Nate, you really think long-term."
"I don't want to take the long view. Sooner or later, you will be taken away." Natalie pursed her lips and was gloomy, "Don't think I don't know, Hollywood is a bunch of foxes."
Dunn smiled and said, "They are fox spirits, but I only have one queen, and that is Amidala." (Queen and queen are a word queen.)
Natalie pursed her lips and snorted softly, "They all praised me for making the role of Amidala come alive."
"Of course, my Nat is the best actor, I said it!"
"Will you help me arrange an agent?" Natalie looked up at him.
Dunn thought for a while, "Well, I'll tell Brian to let him pay you a termination fee. You can transfer to CAA. He must be very happy."
"Oh." Natalie didn't hesitate, "I will listen to you, provided you convince my mother."
"I know, I've also thought about your agent."
"Who is it?"
"Hilda Querrey."
Natalie's eyes lit up, "Is that the agent you introduced to Miss Nicole Kidman?"
Tang En was stunned for a moment, "You know all this?"
Natalie raised her small fist and hummed: "I still know a lot of things! I said, I have an insider, don't try to hide it from me!"
