Chapter 430： straight male cancer

"The actor is yet to be confirmed, the actress has been selected, Scarlett Johansson, a very literary actor."

Tang En murmured to himself: "Scarlett..."

Sofia Coppola raised her eyebrows and looked at him with a half-smile, "Looks like you know her?"

Tang En coughed lightly, "I've seen her once or twice. Her performance in "The Horse Whisperer" is very good."

Sofia Coppola said with a smile: "It's a coincidence, I also saw her "Horse Whisperer" before I decided to choose her. She used to play small roles, and in my movie, she was the first Second time as the protagonist, first time as an adult woman!"

"Mature woman? How old is she?"

"17 years old... At the birthday party at the end of this month, I will be 17 years old."

Tang En said in surprise: "Isn't it immature to play an adult woman?"

"Easy, I can handle it!" Sofia Coppola waved her hand, and then glanced at Dunn playfully, "How about you go with me to her birthday party?"

"Me?" Dunn shook his head immediately, "Forget it, I'm not familiar with her, I'm going, don't scare her."

"How come? She admires you so much!"

"real?"

Sofia Coppola made a "poof", and then she laughed and pointed to Dunn, "I knew you were full of bad water, so you must have a bad idea! How's it going? Just a few words. ?"

Tang En's face flushed, and he said in a plausible manner: "Everyone has a love for beauty. It's normal, right? Besides, I'm just talking casually, and I'm not sure about going."

Sofia Coppola laughed for a while, and said sternly: "But Dunn, I'm serious, she is very interested in you, she always asks me about you, especially..."

"Especially what?"

Sofia Coppola hesitated for a moment, then whispered: "At that time, your "Titanic" swept the world and became famous and scary. Just when you were filming "My Great Greek Wedding", we... we Didn't you go to bed a few times?"

"Ah?" Dunn wrinkled tightly, "What are you talking about? I can say it straight, Sophia, I treat you as a good friend now, but I don't have that kind of thinking anymore."

She is in her thirties, and she doesn't have the beautiful and handsome face she had a few years ago.

Sofia Coppola gritted her teeth and said, "If you want it, I won't give it! Asshole! I'm talking about Scarlett!"

"We're in bed, what does it have to do with her?"

"At that time, you were at your peak. The little girl admired and curious about you, so she asked me a lot about you."

"What?"

Tang En stared, thinking he heard it wrong, "Did you tell her everything about us going to bed?"

"Yes, we are good friends!"

"Stop!" Tang En asked in disbelief, "How old was she at that time? 13 or 14? You just told her such a thing, aren't you teaching a bad child!"

Sofia Coppola rolled her eyes, "What's wrong with teaching kids, don't talk nonsense! She already had a boyfriend at the time, and she still wanted to...that. But it was the first time for her, and she was a little scared, and she didn't I know too much, so I asked me some questions."

When Tang En heard this, his face turned gloomy.

Damn, a little girl of thirteen or fourteen years old, doing this kind of thing, the evil atmosphere of the US emperor is really hateful!

Dunn's mood immediately fell, and he was unhappy.

Sofia Coppola was a little funny when she saw it. She knew Dunn very well. She was absolutely macho, and said with the corners of her mouth: "But I told her that Dunn Walker is a straight male cancer and likes perfect girls. The next day, she broke up with her little boyfriend."

Tang En said angrily: "So what? This one is divided, and there is another one!"

He is in a very bad mood now.

There is a resentment that a good cabbage has been arched by a pig.

"She should...as far as I know, she's still a girl." Sofia Coppola bit her lip and couldn't stop laughing.

Tang En waved his hand and didn't believe her nonsense, "Stop talking about it! In a place like Laomei, after junior high school, it's all women!"

"Where's Natalie?"

"She's different! Her family is very traditional, especially her father, who is conservative and strict, and doesn't allow her to associate with male classmates at all, otherwise why do you think she has such good academic performance? I also started early and picked up Baoer. Otherwise, she will not be able to escape this hurdle if she goes to college and becomes free."

Sofia Coppola's tears were about to fall, "Don, aren't you too jerk? Did you say that about your girlfriend?"

Tang En said bitterly: "I'm just telling the truth! Damn, I sleep... The women I've dated are not eighty or fifty. Except for Natalie, none of them are complete."

Even Sophia counted these words, her face turned cold, and she said lightly: "You are so shameless! Believe it or not, Scarlett is a girl anyway, she told me! She is also Jewish. Woolen cloth!"

Dunn snorted coldly.

Sofia Coppola frowned, "So, you're not going to go to her birthday party?"

Dunn continued to be silent.

Sofia Coppola was a little angry, stood up and waved, "Do you like to go! I'm too lazy to take you! I'm leaving!"

Walking to the door, Dunn suddenly stopped her from behind.

"Hey! Wait!"

"What?"

"Then...what's her birthday?"

Sofia Coppola almost burst out laughing and said, "November 22, it happened to be Thanksgiving, what's wrong?"

"Ah, it turned out to be Thanksgiving! Hehe, I thought about it, I just had nothing to do that day."

"So you're going?"

"It's all in the same circle, looking up and not looking down, it's better to send a greeting card."

"Virtue! Duplicity!"

Sofia Coppola gave him a wide-eyed, sarcastic look.

...

On November 16, the commercial blockbuster "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe", co-produced by Down Films and Warner Bros. and directed by Ann Lee, was officially released.

The film invested 140 million US dollars and spent more than 70 million in publicity. It was co-produced by Dunn Films and Warner Films, two companies with the best quality in Hollywood films today, and Universal Pictures participated in the distribution, which has a huge influence.

Various blockbusters have retreated, so that this schedule has become a one-man show of "The Chronicles of Narnia", with 3,682 theaters opened, surpassing Pixar's "Monster Electric Company", the most this year, and the largest in Hollywood history. Scale painting!

As a result, it goes without saying that the box office of "The Chronicles of Narnia" is strong enough. It was released for three days in the first weekend, and the North American box office took 89 million US dollars. It is the film with the best opening result of the year!

However, the box office revenue ... is slightly different from Warner's expectations.

According to Warner's estimates, in such a schedule, "The Chronicles of Narnia" lacks enough competitors, and it should not be difficult for the box office to break through 100 million in the first weekend and three days.

In fact, the first two days were good, $32 million on Friday, $33 million on Saturday, but only $24 million on Sunday.

"The Chronicles of Narnia" has beautiful special effects and a strong reputation. What is the reason for the 27% drop in box office performance on the third day?

The reason is very simple, because of "Band of Brothers"!

On November 18, the last episode of "Band of Brothers" will land on starz TV!

At the prime time of this night, more middle-class people who are able to consume entertainment chose to stay at home and watch "Band of Brothers"!

"The Chronicles of Narnia" can be watched later, "Band of Brothers" last episode is only on the night!

Prior to this, the number of paid subscription households on the sta TV network has successfully exceeded 15 million, and the viewing audience of "Band of Brothers" that night reached a new high, breaking through 19 million in one fell swoop!

This kind of ratings, let alone compared with similar professional cable TV networks like hbo and sho, even compared with large TV stations like cbs, abc, and nbc in the same period, it is not bad at all!

Bill McNick has the sole power in Dunn's film industry. Only on very important decisions, he will come to Dunn and ask him for his opinion.

After the premiere of "Band of Brothers" was completed, it was a beaming atmosphere.

But the next day, Bill McNick's face was a little ugly.

"What's wrong?"

Dunn was a little surprised. He had just received an e-mail from Warner President Alan Horn. The content was enthusiastic. The success of "The Chronicles of Narnia" made the relationship between the two companies like a spring breeze.

"Bidding for the rebroadcast rights of Band of Brothers." Bill McNick said heavily.

Tang En smiled and said, "Isn't it all confirmed? Apart from starz TV station, there are 5 other TV stations."

The North American TV copyright of "Band of Brothers" was bought out by Dunn Pictures for $80 million, so the rebroadcasting rights can be sold by Dunn Pictures in a high-profile manner.

In the past two weeks, there have been more than 37 TV stations, wanting to buy the rebroadcast rights, but due to various factors such as price, competition, and human relationship, Bill McNick confirmed a total of 5 TV stations.

Among them, the History Channel had the highest bid, reaching $7.5 million, and the lowest bid, USA Cable Channel, had also reached $5 million.

Dunn Pictures made $30 million by selling the North American replay rights to "Band of Brothers"!

"Band of Brothers" in the TV field is comparable to "Titanic" in the film field!

From this point of view, Dunn spent 80 million US dollars to buy out the North American TV rights and global network rights of "Band of Brothers", which is simply too cheap.

Bill McNick said solemnly: "Indeed, but the results of "Band of Brothers" were too good. The sensational effect of the last episode was almost empty. Now another TV station has emerged!"

Dunn frowned, realizing that this new TV station must be extraordinary, otherwise Bill McNick would simply reject it.

When Tang En Pictures sold the rebroadcast rights of "Band of Brothers", it had made it clear that in addition to the rebroadcast of starz TV station, only 5 TV stations would get the rebroadcast rights, otherwise it would be impossible to get such a high bid.

"Who?"

"Channel."

"what?"

Dunn slapped the table and got angry!
