Chapter 382： Las Vegas is just a small place

Where there is Dunn, there will never be a lack of attention.

It has been spread in the Hollywood industry that Dunn, who has filmed a new movie every year in the past few years, will not personally take the shots this year, but he will personally make a movie as a producer, which is a retro musical. , the movie code name "A Gorgeous City".

Many people in the industry have guessed the result. This musical is the famous musical "Chicago"!

On this day, Dunn Films will hold an audition at the Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills.

Dunn was originally the most talked-about figure in Hollywood right now, and it was such a high-profile occasion that even if he didn't disclose it to the outside world, he wouldn't be able to pass it on to anyone with a heart.

Early in the morning, outside the Hilton Hotel, there was a large circle of reporters.

The audition is only for well-known actors in the industry. Producer Dunn Walker and director Rob Marshall will personally participate to determine the two heroines of the film.

It is said that well-known actresses such as Madonna Ciccone, Julia Roberts, Nicole Kidman, Winona Ryder, and Gordy Horne will all audition in person.

If only Rob Marshall was a rookie director, it would be impossible to have such a big face. At most, he would interview some small actors for small roles, such well-known actors, it is impossible for him to arbitrarily choose and comment.

But adding a Dunn is different.

Although Tang En is a great director of commercial films, the literary and artistic films he supervised are also excellent!

Last year's two films, "Drug Web" and "Soul Shifting Girl", shone throughout the Oscars.

Although from the perspective of age, Tang En makes a musical, it is a bit nondescript, but now the whole of Hollywood can see that Tang En is a movie genius, and he must not be viewed with normal eyes!

This summer, the two films "Unsinkable" and "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" supervised by Dunn are still jointly sweeping the box office market. With such a magical halo, this audition will naturally attract widespread attention.

The audition officially started at 9:00 a.m. At 8:00, Dunn, accompanied by second producer Kathleen Kennedy, casting director Glenn Fierro, and secretary Isla Fisher, appeared in the The Hilton Hotel's underground parking lot.

Unexpectedly, there have been media reporters waiting here for a long time, not one family, but more than 20 densely packed!

The bodyguards opened the way, but Tang En never succumbed to the enthusiastic reporters, especially the questions from many people, he was very interested.

"Well, each person has a question, time is limited, let's cooperate and answer quickly."

Tang En's demeanor is still the same, with a sunny smile, which makes people feel very comfortable.

The human heart is full of flesh, and everyone is human. If you understand each other's difficulties in work, you will naturally be able to cooperate well.

Ladies first, the female reporter from The Hollywood Reporter was the first to ask, "Mr. Walker, is this movie really the rumored musical 'Chicago'?"

Tang En smiled, "It seems that you are well informed."

When the reporters heard this, their eyes instantly lit up.

It seems that with the big sales of "Unsinkable" and "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", the ratings of "Six Feet Under" are rising steadily. Dunn is in a good mood. Maybe he can ask some big news today. .

"Dawn, I heard that Nicole Kidman has been chosen as the heroine by default. Is this rumor accurate?" The reporter from "Film Review" asked the second question.

"Fake!" Dunn shook his head, "As we all know, Nico is my good friend, but she is filming another film of Dunn Films, "The Moment," and the casting plan for "Chicago" does not have her name."

"Mr. Walker, the golden age of musicals has long since passed. What is the reason for you to choose to make such a film? Is it to please the Oscars?" The question from the "Entertainment Weekly" reporter was a bit harsh. .

"If you make a movie with a certain purpose, the result must be a failure. This is true of commercial films, and the same is true of literary films. Films are flowers that are plucked from the seeds of the enthusiasm and hard work of all the crew members. Whether the flowers are red or blue, who I don’t know. As for why musical films are made, because musical films represent an era in Hollywood, the golden age! I don’t want everyone to forget history.”

Dunn's answer was very rigorous. He had long passed the period when he needed to make a big deal in front of the media and then create a big news to attract traffic.

Now, his name is Traffic!

"Mr. Walker, I heard that you spent a full $80 million to buy the North American TV rights of "Band of Brothers". Is this a real horse?"

"it is true."

"Oh God! This...how is this possible? It's just a TV show, $80 million, enough to make a commercial blockbuster!"

"Sorry, that's the next question. You can ask questions, lady."

The beauty reporter of The New Yorker gave a sweet smile, "Director Walker, the director of this movie... oh, I mean the director of 'Chicago', a complete newcomer, he's really satisfied Is it your request to take a beautiful shot?"

Dunn said with a smile: "Rob is very famous on Broadway. He is an excellent choreographer and an excellent director. His musical comedy "Annie" left a deep impression on people .I believe that with the help of a mature crew, he can successfully complete the shooting task of "Chicago"."

Subsequently, two more tabloids inquired about Dunn's private life.

"Dawn, someone said that you are living with Charlize Theron, is that true?"

"What nonsense!"

"Then have you dated Miss Theron?"

"Nonsense, we are just ordinary friends."

The reporter of the Los Angeles Times frowned and quickly changed the subject. This kind of meaningless question is a waste of time. The gossip tabloids just don't make it into the stream, and the reporters are too poor!

"Mr. Walker, some time ago, the media broke the news that you were short in the stock market and lost nearly $1 billion! Can you make a simple statement on this?"

Dunn took a deep look at him and pondered, "I have nothing to explain about this. As of today, I am sticking to my opinion. In economics, there is a term called the 'lipstick effect'. That is to say, when the economy declines At the same time, the sales of gadgets like lipstick will explode, and everyone’s consumption in the entertainment industry will increase greatly.”

"The movie market has been doing really well in the past year or two. Last year's Spider-Man made more than $1.2 billion at the box office, and that's the same as Titanic. Is it all because Spider-Man is good? Not really, yes. Because of the chain reaction triggered by the Nasdaq bubble crisis, people no longer engage in high-spending entertainment activities, and watching movies is the cheapest and most enjoyable consumer experience.”

"This year's "Unsinkable" and "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" are even more so. It's hard to imagine that there will be two big box-office films in one summerWhy? From the 'lipstick effect', We have reason to conclude that despite the trillion-dollar tax cuts, the economy is still sluggish."

"I'm a financial layman, but from a film perspective, I'm an absolute insider. I believe in my profession, I believe in my judgment, the film gives me everything, and I'm willing to accept the macroeconomic view that the film gives me. So I think the current U.S. economy is a bad time."

The reporters present were all financial laymen. Dunn's words sounded very reasonable, but what they heard was another profound meaning.

Soon a reporter responded and exclaimed: "Mr. Walker, do you still want to short the stock market?"

Tang En smiled slightly, "Why not?"

"You've already lost $1 billion, aren't you afraid of going bankrupt?"

Tang En listened, shook his head disapprovingly, and said sincerely: "The movie gave me everything, and I am willing to give up everything for the movie. Again, this is the judgment the movie gave me, and I will stick to it!"

The reporters looked at each other a few times, and everyone took a deep breath.

This Dunn Walker, what a lunatic!

In Hollywood, there are many famous people who like to go to Las Vegas to play a few hands, and it is often revealed that so-and-so has lost millions of dollars.

But Dunn Walker has never made such a revelation.

In this respect, Dunn is a moral model.

Unexpectedly, why did Dunn not like to gamble?

Because the venue in Las Vegas is too small!

The place where Dunn spends his money is not a small place like Las Vegas, but the Nasdaq! It's the NYSE!

He is playing the big market operation that can cost hundreds of millions of dollars at every turn!

sharp!
