Chapter 281： Backstage at the Victoria's Secret Show

The new week brings four more films that are competitive at the box office - Universal's "The Grinch," Paramount's "In Paris," Sony's "Sixth Day," and Miramax's "It's You".

"It's You", a romantic film starring Ben Affleck and Gwyneth Paltrow, cost $35 million and opened in 1,918 theaters.

No way, the big screen of the Christmas season has been opened, and major studios have attacked one after another. Even if Harvey Weinstein's energy is great, it is difficult to fight for "Fate to Be You" in such a stalemate situation. Large opening scale.

In contrast, "The Chainsaw", which had been in a diving state before, has become popular after half a month's accumulation. The scale of 2,674 theaters is not comparable to that of "The Grinch" and "The Grinch". Commercial blockbusters such as Charlie's Angels 1" and "The Sixth Day" are definitely leading the way in non-mainstream commercial films.

Even Tang En is confident that even if the screening scale of "The Chainsaw" is still inferior to that of a commercial blockbuster, in terms of box office competition, "The Chainsaw" will not be afraid of any rivals in the same period!

On November 13, "Chainsaw" earned $2.11 million at the box office;

On November 14, "Chainsaw" was successfully released in the UK, the first overseas region, and the North American box office accumulated more than 15 million US dollars!

There is no doubt that this winter, this low-cost B-level film will set off a strong counterattack!

It's a revival of the golden age of '70s B-movies!

...

On November 15th, Dunn appeared in New York again, this time not on the university campus, but on the scene of this year's Victoria's Secret show.

Accompanying her was not a seductive beauty like Alessandra Ambrosio, but a delicate little girl like a porcelain doll, Taylor Swift.

The little girl was very happy and kept talking, but she was very smart. When Tang En saw an acquaintance, she would always keep her mouth shut.

Victoria's Secret's catwalks have already formed a reputation in the fashion circle. Even if it is not comparable to the arrogance of New York Fashion Week and Paris Fashion Week in the circle, with the shiny words such as "underwear" and "supermodel", Victoria's Secret has a big show. can even attract more attention.

Around the catwalk, Dunn saw many familiar faces, including many Hollywood stars and Wall Street investors.

Especially a few old men in their 60s and 70s who are really old at heart.

"Would you like to go backstage and see?" Dunn whispered in the ear of little Taylor.

"Okay, okay!" Little Taylor happily clapped her little palm, then quickly grabbed Dunn's sleeve and glanced at him playfully, "You can go and see the beauty change her clothes!"

Tang En was angry and funny, and said with a straight face, "Don't talk nonsense!"

The two got up and left, and at this moment, a somewhat empty voice came from beside them, "Director Walker..."

The voice was familiar, Dunn turned his head, his brows raised immediately, and there were two people approaching - Ben Affleck and Gwyneth Paltrow.

The two looked very familiar, and they were intimately arm-in-arm and interlocking, like a couple in love.

"Oh, Ben! Hi, Gwen, you are very beautiful today." Dunn praised publicly.

Dunn didn't have a good impression on the two people in front of him.

Gwyneth Paltrow is Harvey Weinstein's queen actress, not to mention Ben Affleck, which can be described as ungrateful.

"Thank you." Gwyneth Paltrow was very polite and restrained. She glanced at Little Taylor, hesitated for a while, but didn't say anything more.

Ben Affleck was obviously a little guilty, and his voice was weak, "Director Walker, what a coincidence, I met you here."

Tang En smiled, and his tone was no longer sarcastic, "Yeah, I thought I would have to wait for the release of "Pearl Harbor" before I could see you."

Ben Affleck was embarrassed.

Tang En doesn't care, he's just a little actor, and he has completely turned his face, so what? Besides, with Ben Affleck's character of sitting on the wall between Dunn Pictures and Disney, at most he will show his prestige in front of small people, and in front of big people, he will only pretend to be a grandson.

Gwyneth Paltrow forced a smile on his face, "Director, you are a big shot, we..."

Tang En waved his hand and said with a smile, "By the way, are you two in love?"

Ben Affleck hurriedly said: "No, this is the arrangement of the publisher, to cooperate with the promotion of "Fate to Be You"."

Tang En suddenly realized that relying on celebrity gossip to hype is indeed a propaganda method that has never worked out.

"That's okay, you can do whatever you want, I still have something to do." Dunn nodded, waved his hand very casually, pulled little Taylor, turned around and left.

Facing this kind of Hollywood starlet, Dunn doesn't need to have too many taboos at all, the upper-level power decides everything.

To put it rudely, don't look at Dunn's quarrel with Disney and Miramax now, but once he wants to sanction Ben Affleck, Disney can't stop him.

It's just not necessary, Tang En is not going to care about such a small person, leaving a domineering and arrogant bad name.

Looking back at Ben Alek and Gwyneth Paltrow who were exhaling for a long time, little Taylor tugged at Dunn and asked quietly, "Don, aren't they a couple?"

"Um."

"But why are they so close? Didn't you say that girls have to be self-respecting and self-love, and can't casually hook up with boys?"

Dunn had a headache, "They are actors, er... acting."

It's hard for Taylor Jr to understand, "But this isn't the set?"

Tang En was helpless, so he had to say: "That woman is not good, you don't want to learn."

"Oh." Little Taylor nodded in understanding, "Girls can't hold hands with boys at will, right?"

Tang En said: "Well, apart from your father, only your future husband can treat you like that. This is a good girl. Look at Sister Natalie, when has she been close to other boys? "

"Isn't it okay to film?"

"Of course not! You can use a stand-in or a borrower for filming... Forget it, you are still young and don't understand this, just remember what I said just now."

Little Taylor grimaced and frowned, looking at the little hand that Tang En was holding tightly, her delicate face was full of sorrow, and she muttered to herself, "What can I do..."

The backstage of Wei Mi has very strict checks, and non-staff members are not allowed to enter.

But Dunn was an exception. He had already contacted lbrands and obtained a franchise pass.

Seeing Tang En appear, the staff immediately came to greet him. He was a femininity man and was annoying.

"What are they doing?"

"Oh, they are filming the backstory, hehe, it will be made into a video later, and it will be broadcast on TV in December."

Tang En's face sank, "Tell them not to shoot me!"

"what?"

"did not hear?"

"Oh, oh... well, I'll go!"

Of course Dunn would not be polite.

Victoria's Secret's parent company, lbrands, has a current market value of less than 2 billion US dollars. When I heard that Tang En was going to visit the backstage of the Victoria's Secret show a few days ago, the CEO of the company appeared in person and said a lot of good things. On the pass.

The fame of lbrands depends on Victoria's Secret, the fame of Victoria's Secret depends on supermodels, and supermodels... can only be regarded as the "periphery" of Hollywood.

The status gap is too big!

After walking around in the background, Dunn immediately saw an old acquaintance - Leonardo Ricaprio!

"Leon?" Dunn was a little surprised, his attitude was completely opposite to when he saw Ben Affleck just now, "what are you doing standing here stupidly?"

Leonardo's eyes also lit up, he ignored Dunn, squatted down and winked teasingly at little Taylor, and said with a smile, "Little baby, are you also a Victoria's Secret model?"

Little Taylor rolled her eyes and snorted: "I'm not a model. Dunn said that all models are fools. I want to be a singer!"

"Haha, ambitious!"

Leonardo was pouted, and it was embarrassing to touch his nose, and then he looked at Dunn vigilantly, "This is the dressing room."

"locker room?"

Tang En's heart is hot, his eyes are bright, and his interest is soaring.

Of course he knows that supermodels are different from wild models, and it is impossible to change clothes in front of everyone like those 18th-tier models. But he is different, he is Dunn!

Just ask those angelic supermodels who are eager to try Hollywood, who can refuse him?

Leonardo, like a doorman, stopped Dunn firmly, "Don't move! I'll say it again, this is the locker room!"

Dunn smiled, covered little Taylor's ears, and lowered his voice, "Leon, stop pretending! Come on, let's go in and see the world!"

"Fuck off!" Leonard pushed him angrily, gritted his teeth and said, "Don, Giselle is changing clothes inside!"

"what?"

Tang En was slightly startled laughed.

No wonder Leonardo is so cautious and guards the door himself, this is for his girlfriend Gisele Bundchen.

Dunn leaned over, said a few words in little Taylor's ear, and then looked at Leonardo with a smile, "It's okay to let her in, right?"

Leonardo was helpless and could only let go.

Tang En smiled, with a playful expression on his face, "Leon, this is the Victoria's Secret dressing room. The scenery inside... Hehe, it's definitely more exciting than the striptease in your nightclub!"

Leonardo's face turned green, "What's the point of being wonderful? It's strange that Gisele doesn't lose his temper with me!"

Tang En shrugged with a smug look on his face, "Then there's no way, hehe, the scenery is unique, I can only enjoy it alone."

"I said, Giselle is inside!" Leonardo frowned, very displeased, "Dawn, she is my girlfriend, she is different from other girls, you have to respect her! "

Tang En patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, your friend's wife can't be bullied. I still understand the truth."

"Um?"

Leonardo looked suspicious.

At this time, the door of the dressing room was pushed open, revealing little Taylor's sneaky and excited face, "Don, come on! There are a lot of angels changing clothes inside!"

Leonardo almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.

Who did this little girl learn from?

Dunn laughed, "Giselle Bundchen finished changing clothes?"

"It's over, come here soon!"

Little Taylor quickly waved to Dunn, bouncing very active.

Tang En held back his smile, "Leon, then I'm welcome, will you be here for a while?"

"Um!"

Leonardo hummed heavily, his face even uglier than crying.
