Chapter 128： Digging Disney's Corner

Chapter 128 Digging Disney's Corner

Of course Nina Jacobson knew why, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

She really can't do anything about this young boss, Tang En is good in everything, but his temper is too hard and too impatient!

That's Disney. It's not embarrassing to admit defeat and be soft. Is it necessary to make a stand?

"Disney asked me to come forward and clarify to Bruce Willis, otherwise it will teach me a lesson." The corners of Dunn's mouth twitched slightly, and a sneer crossed his face, "Even the Gold Club has been convicted, a mere Bruce Willis, still want to get out of the way?"

David Heyman opened his mouth wide. He knew the rift between Dunn and Bruce Willis, but he didn't expect that there was Disney behind him.

"What do you want me to do?"

Nina Jacobson sighed.

Dunn asked: "What do you think of Nate Shyamalan?"

Nina was a little puzzled. "Fortunately, he was born in India, but he grew up in the United States. He graduated from the film department of New York University and is a very talented director."

Tang En raised his eyebrows slightly, "I remember you said that if it wasn't for you, his "Sixth Sense of Spirituality" would not have been approved?"

"It's true. Before that, Miramax helped him produce a movie "A Lump of Bastards", but the box office failed miserably, only over 200,000 US dollars, and it was not even released overseas, and was abandoned by Miramax. Later, for his "Sixth Sense of Spirituality", many producers were concerned about his criminal record and dared not invest, but I passed the review and gave him this opportunity."

Before Nina Jacobson finished speaking, she suddenly wanted to understand something. She opened her eyes wide and looked at Dunn in disbelief, "You...you don't mean to..."

"Why not?" Dunn smiled strangely, "Didn't Disney want to teach me a lesson? It's not my character to wait until I die."

"No, Dunn, you can't do this! Disney's live-action movies have been in a downturn over the years, and I finally found a director with a big box office sale, and I will definitely hold it firmly in my hands." Nina Jacob Buson frowned and said sternly.

Dunn, of course, knows how much Disney attaches to Nate Shyamalan.

Historically, Nina Jacobson discovered Nate Shyamalan and had a great relationship. Until 2006's "Banshee" project, Nina refused to invest because of the bad prospects of the film.

As a result, Knight Shyamalan took the project and found Warner Bros. to invest in filming. Disney was furious and directly fired Nina Jacobson, who was already the head of production and chairman of the Bravais Group.

Dunn also likes the suspenseful thriller filmed by Nate Shyamalan, which is very good, but the Indian-born director does not have the ability to direct a large-scale production, and loses in one shot.

"I understand what you mean, but I don't have the character to swallow my voice!" Dunn's voice was loud, and Disney's behavior was different from Warner Bros.

At least Warner didn't tear his face, everything hides the blade under the smiling face.

Even Tom Rothman played tricks on Dunn's back many times, but he always greeted him with a smile in person and maintained the basic face of each other. Dunn wouldn't tear his face off with him. Everyone was just fighting secret tricks.

But Disney is going too far, it's hitting Dunn in the face.

Nina Jacobson frowned and said: "Dawn, maybe... Disney is just a threat. Think about it, you are no longer a fledgling newcomer, you have a pivotal influence in Hollywood, even Disney, it is impossible I will teach you a lesson.”

David Heyman listened to the conversation between the two, and his heart skipped a beat. He really didn't expect that this young director would actually challenge Disney and dare to stumble behind his back. He nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, Nina is right. , Disney may just say that, with your current strength, even Disney should have some scruples."

Tang En waved his hand indifferently, "Whether it's real or fake, Disney dares to say such a thing, it's down on my Tang En's face! Human beings can breathe a sigh of relief, and their dignity is greater than the sky!"

dignity?

Nina Jacobson and David Heyman looked at each other and shook their heads secretly.

In Hollywood, the last thing you need is dignity.

Even the superstar of the emperor, for the sake of the role, has to bow and kneel.

Not to mention actresses, who often let producers and directors choose "love", and even if they are seriously violated, they have to swallow it up. Become a first-line star, the situation is better, with some power to refuse, but only a little.

Hollywood values ​​status, fame, interests, connections, and the least value is dignity.

What is dignity? Can it be eaten?

Dunn's statement is obviously unexpected.

"What do you think I'm working so hard to run the company for? Fame? My current fame is no less than Mel Gibson! Status? My current status, even if it's not as good as Spielberg, is still a first-line director, right? Interest? This is even more ridiculous, I don't like the market in the mere movie market!"

Tang En narrowed his eyes, turned his back to the window, and looked into the distance, "What I want is respect! You all know about my past. I was helpless since I was a child, I didn't finish high school, and I was bullied and abused by many people. Ridiculous. I want respect, respect from all of Hollywood!"

Talking about the past, the bitterness, and the tragic experience of the past is the best way to move people. This is not only a reality show routine, but also a common method at the negotiating table.

Sure enough, Dunn's words resonated with Nina, "I'm sorry, Dunn, I deeply regret what happened to you in the past."

Tang En smiled and waved his hand, "It doesn't matter, my biggest wish right now is to give Disney a punch!"

Nina said bitterly: "Nate Shyamalan is now a director that Disney is focusing on. It is not easy to grab him."

"Don't you have a good relationship with him?"

"But this is not enough to change his career plan." Nina shook her head and said slowly, "I heard that Disney invested in another movie for him, and the investment was doubled compared to "The Sixth Sense". Disney attaches so much importance to it, I am afraid that any director will not think about changing jobs.”

"The investment has doubled?" The corner of Dunn's mouth curled slightly, "Nina, we are not in a hurry. His new film is called "Undead", and Bruce Willis is the starring role. The Sixth Sense is so lucky."

"You mean?"

"With the spring breeze of "The Sixth Sense of Spirituality", it is unlikely that "Undead Tribulation" will lose money, but if you want to make a lot of money, it is impossible!"

Nina Jacobson blinked and pondered for a long time, "If so, we are not without a chance."

Dunn laughed, "Nina, then I'll be waiting for your good news! In the next movie, I hope Dunn Pictures can cooperate with director Nate Shyamalan!"

The 45-second trailer, Dunn's assistant director, Abel Smith, has been edited and awaits his review.

"It's too restrained. I deleted all the scenes of being bitten by a spider and fighting in the ring, and put in the explosion scene in Times Square and the rescue scene on the Manhattan Bridge. This is the trailer. What we need to show is the shock and vision of a commercial blockbuster. sense!"

Dunn watched the trailer and suggested revisions, "By the way When Spider-Man comforted Mary Jane, he gave her the scene of the book, add it in, five or six seconds is enough. Remember, to A clear presentation of the book Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone!"

The Super Bowl is the most-watched show in America, far ahead of the Oscars and Grammys.

Dunn will definitely launch the "Harry Potter" series of movies, it's time to do some publicity to make this book popular.

"But in the Times Square scene, the special effects haven't been finished yet, and the scenes are not connected."

This scene is divided into two parts, one is the real-time shooting in Times Square, and the other is the set shooting built in the factory, which is perfectly connected through computer synthesis in the later stage.

Tang En raised his brows, "Then only show the thrilling part of the explosion, not the long-range shots. The trailer, set me on fire!"

After dealing with some work, Dunn came to the rest area and saw Nicole Kidman looking at him in high spirits, "Don, tell me, how about I go to Cannes for the red carpet?"

"Cannes?"

Dunn didn't react for a while.

Nicole chuckled: "It's "The Girl Who Moved Soul". Sam intends to send it to the Cannes Film Festival. He asked me if I was interested in showing up. Of course, the main question is you."

"This Sam Mendes, can't you just contact me directly?" Dunn laughed and shook his head, "It's good to go to Cannes, let Nate go with you. Nicole, you have a lot of knowledge and experience. , then you can take care of her more. Nat's French is good, maybe she can be your translator."

"You know, I'll take good care of your little girlfriend."

Nicole rolled his eyes at him, her face full of longing, as if she was already fantasizing about the crown of Cannes actress.
