Chapter 178

"Hi Sophia, long time no see!"

"Dang En, I thought you weren't coming!"

Sofia Coppola came over quickly and hugged Dunn gently.

Here's a brand new yacht, not too big or luxurious, for $1.5 million, Sophia's latest purchase, and she's invited some friends to her yacht party.

Sophia glanced at the female partner beside Dunn. She was very familiar with it. It was the French movie star Sophie Marceau, who was also very famous in Hollywood. She joked, "I heard...Aren't you dating two supermodels?"

Sophia is not only a Hollywood star, but also a celebrity in the fashion industry. Rumors of some top supermodels have also been heard.

Without Dunn speaking, Sophie Marceau smiled and said, "The two of them have returned to New York, otherwise how could this guy take me out?"

"Oh no, Sophie, you are too modest!" Sophia hurriedly hugged her, "In my eyes, you are as beautiful as an angel! Um... A real angel, not the Victoria's Secret kind."

Dunn laughed, and Sophie Marceau couldn't help laughing, "Sophia, you are too good at talking."

Sofia Coppola and Dunn rarely see each other, but they have a good relationship and usually send some interesting messages to tease each other.

Dunn followed Sophia to visit her new yacht, "By the way, your cousin isn't here yet?"

"Nicholas?" Sophia shook her head. "No, you know, he's been...in some trouble recently. I thought you did it."

Tang En said bitterly: "Me? Sophia, I thought we were friends and had the closest contact. We already know each other very well. This is a huge grievance."

"Okay, don't mention the past!" Sophia glared at her. The thing she regretted most was having slept with Dunn twice, so that every time she teased Dunn's private life in a text message, she would always be called He fought back with such an excuse.

Dunn pondered slightly and sighed, "Sophia, we are friends, so I'll just say something. I don't have much contact with Nicholas, that is, the last time I was at your house, I had the experience of eating at the same table, and I also He didn't say anything. He's... how do I put it, a little arrogant, even conceited, such a character will suffer a lot in the future."

Sophia shrugged, "No way, no control. But...he is my cousin after all. Even if he changed his surname, he is still a member of the Coppola family."

Dunn understood Sophia's meaning, was silent for a while, and nodded, "Mr. Coppola has given me a lot of help, and he also voiced support for me during the last public relations crisis, for which I am deeply grateful. The matter of Nicholas... It's not serious now, at the critical moment, I will help him."

Sophia smiled happily, "Then I'll thank you for my cousin first!"

Tang En blinked quickly and looked at her with playful eyes, "No pay?"

"How about... I'll introduce you to a beautiful model again?" Sophia rolled her eyes with contempt.

Tang En made a haha, and then changed his voice, "By the way, are you busy with movies recently? Or are you mainly focusing on the fashion circle?"

Sophia raised her fist to express her dissatisfaction, "Don't forget, I'm a director!"

"There's a new project? You can find Tang En Films, I'll give you the investment, how much budget you want, just say it!" Tang En said in a big way.

Sophia curled her lips and said, "You know, you are a rich man! Don't worry, when you use money, you can't run if you want to! But not right now. I haven't written the script yet, and the story is still being conceived."

Tang En's heart moved slightly, he thought slowly and said, "Sophia, I actually have a lot of good scripts in my hand. You can choose any of them if you want. Writing and directing...it's really beautiful, but it's too difficult. This is Hollywood. , the directors here don’t need all-rounders.”

The pattern of self-writing and directing is the mainstream in Europe, where directors often control the absolute screenwriting rights of the script. Hollywood is a producer system, and the screenwriting rights are in the hands of the producers.

Sophia felt the concern from Dunn and smiled at him, "Thank you, Dunn, I understand your kindness, but... I refuse!"

"why?"

"Because I have to prove myself."

"Huh?" Tang En raised his brows, "How do you say it?"

Sophia hesitated for a moment, then sighed faintly, "Don, the whole of Hollywood knows that I am the daughter of director Coppola. In everyone's eyes, Sophia is a bossy rich lady who always wears tinted glasses. Look at me! You know what? I've won two Raspberry Awards, twice!"

Dunn was a little moved and deeply touched.

Since Natalie Portman and Reese Witherspoon, there has been such a type of person around him - Sofia Coppola.

Hollywood is very unfriendly to women. Some female artists who are willing to follow the trend may not matter, but there are always a few people who want to find a pure land in this muddy quagmire.

"I don't want to be seen as a joke, I have to prove it to them in my own way!" Sophia said calmly, but the sharpness in her eyes could not escape Dunn's eyes.

"But shooting my script will make it easier for you to succeed. I'm sorry, Sophia, I'm not questioning you..."

"Okay Dunn, you don't need to explain." Sophia waved her hand and interrupted Dunn, "I know, your ability in movies is ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times as good as mine! There's no shame in it, Because you are Tang En! But... have you ever thought that even if I shoot your script and succeed, how much of the glory of this success will belong to me?"

Tang En shook his head, "A false name is not important to me, you can write your name in the screenwriter column, you are still writing and directing yourself."

Sophia smiled, smiled happily, turned her head to look at him, "Dawn, you know, that's why I'll be friends with you **** who likes to play with women!"

Tang En didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and shook his head frequently, "So, you agreed?"

"No! I refuse!"

"Ah? Why?"

Sofia looked firm, "Because I not only have to prove to Hollywood and the world, but I also have to prove to myself! I, Sofia Coppola, my success depends on myself!"

Dunn sighed.

For children born in wealthy families, the family is their glory and their shadow.

Nicolas Cage chose to change her name, but Sofia, as Mr. Coppola's daughter, couldn't.

How difficult is it to get the world to recognize a rich second generation?

The smearing of "Sixty Seconds" and "Titan a.e." caused the box office expectations of the two films to plummet.

Another movie "Spider-Man" in the same period, the fisherman profited, became the biggest winner.

The "Spider-Man" movie premiered in North America on June 22, and was released globally on June 23. By June 20, 10.87 million movie tickets had been pre-sold.

Based on the average movie ticket price of $5.4, "Spider-Man" has already surpassed $58 million in advance sales in the first two days before it was released!

Successfully broke the North American pre-sale record of $57 million set by "Star Wars: Episode 1: The Phantom Menace".

It is conceivable that on the 21st and 22nd, the pre-sale box office will continue to increase, and "Spider-Man" will continue to set records.

In times of economic crisis, there will always be a boom in the entertainment industry.

Now, the popularity of "Spider-Man" has surpassed last year's "Star Wars Episode 1", which is the best proof.

On the day of June 21st, "Sixty Seconds of Speed" was the first to be released in the whirlpool.

However, the response was mediocre. Among the 3,089 theaters in the United States, the box office received only $3.12 million on the first day, which was seriously lower than expected.

The film's influence in Hollywood is not even as strong as the announcement made by a Manhattan company.

Dunn Capital announced two things: one, to raise $100 million in Silicon Valley high-tech company x; two, to spend $80 million to acquire shares in Hasbro 5, and Dunn Walker will enter as a director. Hasbro Board of Directors.

What surprises Hollywood is the importance Dunn places on Hasbro.

Previously, Dunn Pictures and Hasbro launched a series of strategic cooperation, and now Dunn Capital has made a high-profile investment in Hasbro. Is this to reach a **** alliance?

How important is it to get the copyright of a few toys?

However, the American media has focused more and more widely on Dunn's huge investment in Elon Musk's online payment company X.

100 million US dollars, let alone in this high-tech stock market crash, even at the peak of the bubble, it would not easily invest such a huge amount of money in a new company that has only been established for a year.

What is Dunn doing?

are you crazy?

It can't be just to gain attention, right?

Opinions vary!

At the time of Dunn's public relations crisis, Dunn and Wall Street reached a secret agreement: Dunn would invest heavily in the high-tech industry to bring confidence to investors, and Wall Street would be responsible for helping him clean up.

It's a matter of mutual benefit.

Now, Dunn Capital has finally made a move, although the company invested in is somewhat inexplicable, and no Wall Street institution is optimistic.

But Dunn fulfilled his promise after all and invested, didn't he?

Dunn chose to take action, and Wall Street naturally followed the wind. They must use Dunn's momentum to try their best to win back the hearts of investors.

"The Wall Street Journal" reported the details and insider behind the financing in a high-profile manner, and the title of the report was particularly eye-catching "The new era of stock gods makes another move, he is optimistic about the prospects of Internet companies! 》

"A few days ago, Tangen Capital, an emerging investment company in the limelight, completed the third round of financing for online payment company X, with a total amount of more than 100 million US dollars. UUkanshu After this financing, the original shareholder of X company The shares of the company will be greatly diluted, and Dunn Capital will exclusively own 55% of the equity!"

"Da Li came only after the big break. With the outbreak of the bubble crisis, many investment institutions lost confidence in the high-tech industry and withdrew their capital one after another. However, under this predicament, the famous director Dunn, who was very popular in the stock market in the first half of the year. Walker chose to make a move, and when he made a move, it was a big deal that shocked the United States!"

"Some people may question that Tang En doesn't know how to make a fool of himself in investing, but is it true? Don't forget, Tang En is a **** of stocks. In terms of investment, he has never failed! Not only in film investment, he has been successful many times. Last year, he Google, the Internet company invested in, is also thriving.”

"Now, with 18 million searches per day, Google has become the largest Internet search platform. Yahoo also chose Google to replace inktomi as the default search engine. At the same time, Google launched the adwords product and used the bidding model, which greatly increased the company's revenue. After the bubble crisis, Google made a profit in the second quarter! This is Dunn's investment vision!"

"The economic crisis is not optimistic, but the stock gods use actions to tell us that the high-tech industry is not over! Difficulties are only temporary, and beauty is the future! Seize the opportunities of the times, please invest in Nasdaq, maybe... you are the next Tang Well, the next stock god!"

Of course, there is one other thing that stands out as well.

On June 21, 2000, Apple completed its second stock split after the first in 1987.

After the stock split into two, the stock price was $10 instead of $19.8.

Overall a slight increase.
