On Natalie's birthday last time, Dunn opened his mind wide and created a "blackout" storm in the Star Wars studio. He used candles to create a vast night sky, and made the romance more vivid.
The two also established a relationship, from friends to lovers.
This time, Tang En wanted to repeat the same trick to further the relationship between the two.
The wise Natalie, apparently discovering his intention, firmly refused.
She is already an eighteen-year-old girl, and she is still perfect, which is almost impossible in Hollywood. Even a few good sisters in her school secretly laughed at her.
Of course, Natalie also wanted to try it, so she could get to know the reasons why Tang En never tire of it.
However, with her IQ, she quickly realized that keeping a distance from Tang En at this stage is the best choice.
There are too many goblins in Hollywood, and they come from all over the world one after another.
It is impossible for Natalie not to worry, but insisting on guarding her body and letting Tang En get nothing, she has always had a constant pursuit and sense of mystery about her body, which is the best way to maintain the relationship between the two.
After several hints by Tang En, he understood her thoughts, and gently held her in his arms without saying anything.
He has no shortage of women, and physical enjoyment is upon him. The relationship with Natalie is more of a spiritual pursuit.
Of course Dunn hopes to break through the last layer of relationship with Natalie, but since she wants to keep herself, Dunn will definitely respect her choice.
Speaking of birthday gifts, Natalie made a request that stunned Dunn——
"I want to make a movie."
Natalie's idea is very simple. The university's admission letter will be issued in December, and she has a gap of more than half a year.
Of course, she understood Tang En's idea of wanting her to rest and relax, but seeing Tang En working hard to make a movie, she was laid-back and awkward.
Dunn was a little speechless. He rejected Shirley Hirschler's film contract with Natalie before because he didn't want Natalie to star in a bad movie.
But at Natalie's age, unless she plays some very inconspicuous minor supporting roles, it is hard to find a movie that can make her perform well.
Unless Dunn Pictures shoots it in person!
Dunn has enough ideas in his mind.
But the key is that now Dunn Pictures has no money, so it is impossible to veto the shooting plan of "A Beautiful Mind" and tailor it for Natalie, right?
He has promised Nicole Kidman.
Dunn contacted Hilda Querrey, and her statement was very similar to his guess. At present, there is no script suitable for Natalie, unless she is willing to play some insignificant roles.
Sitting in the office, Dunn leaned on the boss chair, half-squinted his eyes, and pondered silently.
Natalie is the person Dunn cares about the most. He will definitely do his best to satisfy her request, not to mention this is a birthday present?
"Reese, come in!"
Dunn called the secretary through the phone.
"What's up?"
"What script do we have now?"
"Which aspect?" Reese Witherspoon seemed to see Dunn's intention, frowning slightly, "Dawn, I want to remind you that we have already started the "Spider-Man" project, the "Beautiful Mind" project The script is also being adapted according to your intention, and there is no extra energy and money to make another movie."
"I know!" Tang En waved his hand, "The investment is between 30 million and 40 million yuan. For literary films, the main thing is to win prizes."
Reese gave him a deep look, "Is that Nat?"
"Well, you're very smart." Dunn smiled bitterly, "She's a little restless and wants to make a movie to hone her acting skills."
Reese's eyes widened and she reacted, "Are you going to... give up "A Beautiful Mind" and make another movie?"
Dunn shrugged, "Apart from this, is there any other possibility?"
"What about Nicole?"
Dunn has a headache. Nicole Kidman has read the book "Beautiful Mind" three times, and plans to visit in the near future, communicate with Mrs. Nash in person, and live by her side for a period of time to learn, Research, figure out the characters.
Such hard-working and professional actors, looking at the world, only Hollywood.
"It really doesn't work. Let's start a play with multiple female protagonists and let both Nicole and Nate play them. Well... Maybe you can play a role, and Naomi is fine too."
"I'm not going, I'm the heroine now!" Reese Witherspoon rolled her eyes, but her mind flashed, "How many heroines? Dunn, I suddenly thought of two scripts. "
"Oh? Let's talk about it."
"The first one is called "Fallen Sisters"."
Dunn has never heard of it, "Original script from our screenwriting department?"
"Well, I like this script very much." Reese said, and she flashed both ways, "It is about a pair of sisters who are lonely. In order to take care of her sister, my sister married a rich bastard. When my sister grows up, she will be slim, Defiled by this bastard, and..."
"This is challenging the bottom line of the American people, and it's not good for Nat's image." Dunn interrupted Reese immediately. Since it is "Fallen Sisters", the result must be the struggle of human nature, social constraints and moral kidnapping. , the sisters chose to settle down.
The story is very pioneering, but this is a challenge to the values of the American Empire, which is the category of B-grade films. Mainstream films, whether commercial or literary, never cross the red line.
For example, "Billy Lynn's Halftime Battle" received abusive condemnation in North America.
Natalie doesn't need topic hype, Dunn can't let her take part in too controversial movies, "What about the next script?"
"It's an adaptation of a novel, "The Girl Who Moved Souls."
""The Girl Who Moved Soul"?"
Dunn's eyes lit up, the copyright of this novel was obtained by Dunn Films two years ago, and Manola Dages had high hopes. As long as there is the right director and actors, it is very likely to hit the Oscar for best picture.
The theme of this film is very in line with the taste of the old beauty, and it is also Oscar's favorite. It is equivalent to the female version of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", but the theme is more distinct and profound.
It's just that the original version of "The Girl Who Moved Soul" hired a rookie director, and the female No. 1 Winona Ryder's acting skills were mediocre, which severely limited the film's expressiveness.
On the contrary, the supporting actress Angelina Jolie won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her outstanding performance in the film, thus embarking on the road to superstardom.
Reese Witherspoon said: "This is an adaptation of Susannah's novel, which tells that she was sent to a mental hospital and met many unusual women here. It is a typical multi-female movie."
Dunn slapped his hands heavily, "Let Manola come over!"
……
The next dayTown Films held a meeting internally, the theme was about the two movies "Spider-Man" and "The Girl Who Moved Soul".
The script of "Spider-Man" is the framework proposed by Dunn, because the Marvel Universe is very broad and the time line is very long, so it is fixed in the high school period of "Peter Parker".
The script is written by Nina Jacobson, president of Marvel Studios, and the element outline is provided by the Marvel Entertainment Creative Committee, and the scriptwriting department of Marvel Studios is responsible for writing;
It was then handed over to the parent company's market analysis department, reviewed and revised by Andrew O'Hare, and further adapted by the screenwriters of Dunn Films.
Hollywood is a streamlined film industry. It is normal for a script to be adapted by twenty or thirty screenwriters.
As for "The Girl Who Moved Soul", Dunn directly put forward a clear film frame and theme requirements——
"Every one of us will experience sadness, pain, and even despair in our lives. But we must be like a soldier, we must go through this emotional sandstorm, and only after experiencing baptism can we truly go forward with down-to-earth and courageousness. Swing again, no longer wander, no longer stay. If you refuse everything to happen because of fear, you will stagnate and grow, trap yourself in a dark and narrow space, and become your own demon. When pain comes to life , accept it, go through it, and finally step over it.”
To this end, art analyst Manola Daggis led the screenwriting team of Dunn Pictures to stop the rewriting of "A Beautiful Mind" and began to adapt the novel "The Girl Who Moved Soul", the heroine is based on Nicole Kidman. , the female No. 2 is based on Natalie Portman.
At the same time, Glenn Fierro, Dunn's casting assistant, also looked for a needle in a haystack and started to choose a suitable director for "The Girl Who Moved the Soul".
