Chapter 556： wacky reception

Awards season is coming, and it's Christmas again, and many films are starting to be released in late December.

These include "Chicago" by Rose Pictures, "The Pianist" by Focus Pictures, "How to Get Away with Murder" by DreamWorks, "Qingren" by Warner Bros., "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" by New Line Cinema , Fox Searchlight's "Out of Adversity," Miramax's "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind," MGM's "Nicholas Nickleby," Disney's "25 Hours," and the remake of the imax cartoon "The Lion" king"……

Before this, Dunn said, "Chicago" will shine awards season.

Now, "Chicago" is about to be released, and two actors, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Rachel Weisz, come to the door...

Of course, Tang En was disrespectful and took the two of them to the red sofa, which was good for a while.

It is really a drunken enjoyment!

Maybe it's because of his request for Dunn, or because Dunn's power is much bigger now than it was in the first half of the year. Catherine Zeta Jones and Rachel Weisz cooperate quite well, and they change on the sofa. The tricks to please Tang En, Cheng welcomes flattery.

The performance of this pair of British stunners is perfect!

It is comparable to the combination of Charlize Theron and Penelope Cruz.

After he was done on the sofa, Tang En was still unfulfilled. When he was taking a shower, he asked for it again. Only then did he feel satisfied and put on his clothes.

"This awards season, the competition is too big!"

After serving Dunn get dressed, the two British girls began to wear their own dresses.

Tang En sat on the sofa with a golden knife, admiring the beauty of the beauty's clothes, and said disapprovingly: "There is a lot of competition? I also deliberately changed the schedule of "Gone Lover" to April next year, otherwise More competition!"

Catherine Zeta-Jones said: "It's also big, it feels... more intense than it was in '94."

Tang En knew what she meant and smiled: "Don't worry, no matter how fierce the competition is, your best supporting actress won't be able to run!"

"real?"

Catherine Zeta-Jones' eyes lit up with surprises.

Tang En said lightly: "If I say yes, I will!"

"thanks, thanks!"

Catherine Zeta Jones was a little incoherent with excitement, as if she had already grasped the Oscar statuette in her hands, rushed up and kissed Dunn on the face.

Even Natalie can rely on a small film like "Juno" to seal it in one fell swoop. Do you still need to doubt Dunn's strength?

Her performance in "Chicago" was much better than Natalie's in "Juno."

Rachel Weisz was a little resentful, looking at Dunn pitifully, "What about me?"

"You?" Dunn pondered for a while and shook his head, "This year's actress is Nicole. Your performance in "Chicago" is not enough to break through."

Rachel Weisz bit her lip and said: "I know that Nicole Kidman's performance in "All the time" has amazed the entire film critics, and the voices are very high. But...Is the Golden Globe Award not enough? "

There is only one Oscar winner.

But there are two Golden Globe Award winners, one for Best Feature Film and one for Musical Comedy.

"All the time" is a drama, "Chicago" is a musical, just separated.

The Golden Globes in the previous life were like that.

Nicole Kidman and Renee Zellweger, the original star of "Chicago", won the Golden Globe Award.

Now, although the female lead of "Chicago" has changed, the Golden Globe Awards have also changed. After a farce, Dunn has a great influence on the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.

"Well, the Golden Globe Award winner, no problem!" Dunn was admiring Catherine Zeta Jones' enchanting action of wearing a bra and dealt with it casually.

Unexpectedly, Rachel Weisz suddenly rushed over and gave him a fierce kiss on the face.

20 minutes later, Dunn walked out of the office with the two of them. Tosca Musk and Ella Fisher were accustomed to such a scene and turned a blind eye.

"Dawn, I'm free throughout the awards season. If you miss me, just call me."

When leaving, Catherine Zeta Jones threw a wink and said to Dunn in a charming voice.

Rachel Weisz also smiled and said: "It's okay to ask me, whether it's one, two, three or four, I'm fine."

Dunn laughed.

Ella Fisher, who was not far away, changed her face slightly and whispered to Tosca Musk: "Is this a Hollywood female star?"

Tosca Musk said cautiously: "Don't talk nonsense."

"I know, isn't this a whisper between us?"

"That's how the entertainment industry is."

Ella Fisher pouted, "That Catherine is still married, her husband is Michael Douglas."

Tosca Musk said indifferently: "The Douglas family is not as powerful as before. If she wants to have a better career in Hollywood, she can only use the weapon between her legs."

"Between the legs?"

Ella Fisher looked weird, wanted to laugh, but didn't.

Yes, this is a woman's greatest weapon!

She could become a best-selling author and secretary to the chairman of the New Universal Group. Didn't she rely on this weapon back then?

...

The award-winning films are only screened on a small scale at the end of December to qualify for the competition. The real box office harvest is in the awards season from January to March.

"Chicago" opened in 77 theaters, which is a lot.

The pure literary film "The Pianist" produced by Focus Pictures is still an R-rated film and only opened in 3 theaters.

Christmas time, only belong to two films: "The Two Towers" and "The Two Towers".

December 29 is the countdown to 2002.

Dunn was warmly invited by Warner Bros. and New Line to participate in the celebration reception of "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers".

Such an abrupt invitation made Dunn a little strange.

Warner Bros. CEO Barry Mayer personally called Dunn and said that this reception was nominally to celebrate the successful North American box office of "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" exceeding 100 million. A social etiquette at the end of the year.

For this reason, there is no way to refuse.

Dunn took Natalie, who had spent the Christmas holiday, to an appointment.

"Since it's a social party, after you arrive, don't be too pushy and keep a low profile."

Sitting in the extended bulletproof Lincoln car, Natalie persuaded Dunn earnestly.

Tang En sighed, "I also want to keep a low profile, there's no way, it's too cool!"

Natalie smiled and patted Dunn, "I'm going to tell you the business."

"Business?" Tang En took off his suit jacket with a solemn expression, "You have to wear my jacket, this is the business. In this big winter, you are wearing a skirt, so you are not afraid of catching a cold?"

"Aren't all ladies like this?" Natalie said disapprovingly.

Tang En insisted: "I don't care what others do. You are my woman. I have an obligation to protect you. I don't want to watch you get cold."

Natalie pursed her lips beautifully, "That's really nice to say! As long as you provoke a few women less, I'll be happier than anything else."

"Cough cough..."

Tang En was a little embarrassed. He glanced out the window and was suddenly startled, "Huh? Isn't that Eisner's car?"

In front of the Hilton Hotel, many familiar faces have appeared.

Most of them were actors and stars. Dunn saw Michael Eisner's special car at a glance!

"Really?"

Natalie couldn't believe it either.

Tang En said in a deep voice, "I won't read it wrong."

"It's weird," Natalie murmured.

Disney and Time Warner have had a bad relationship.

Especially the farce that Warner Cable cut off Disney Channel two years ago is bigger than the current New Universal and Viacom! In the end, it was Congress who came forward to mediate, which allowed the two sides to shelve the dispute.

But from then on, there have been fewer exchanges between the two media companies.

Especially Michael Eisner, who kept criticizing aol in public.

In fact, AOL and Time Warner are already a family.

Dunn didn't get out of the car in a hurry, and his brows were wrinkled. He felt that this reception was not as simple as the celebration reception of "The Lord of the Rings 2" or the big party at the end of the year in Hollywood.

"Huh? Look! That seems to be Mr. Roberts." Natalie exclaimed, pointing at a man in a suit who was walking into the hotel.

Dunn took a closer look, and sure enough, it was Comcast's president, Brian Roberts, and his wife.

"Aren't Comcast and Time Warner rivals in cable TV operations?"

Natalie looked at Dunn strangely.

Tang En snorted coldly, "I don't know what the **** Warner is doing. Anyway, let's go and have a look first! Could it be this celebration reception, or the Dragon Lake Tiger's Den? Go, get off!"

Natalie gave him an angry look.

But still very useful.

Domineering men are always attractive.

Natalie put on Dunn's coat, took his arm, entered the Hilton Hotel and then followed the guidance of the waiter and went straight to the party hall on the 11th floor.

Coincidentally, as soon as I entered the door, I met Warner Bros. President Alan Horn who was discussing the movie with Brian Singer.

Bryan Singer, a young director, only glanced at Tang En and said to Alan Horn in a meaningful way: "Today's reception... It's full of friends!"

Alan Horn was calm, as if he didn't hear his questioning, and smiled: "My colleagues in the industry are just giving face, hehe, I'm talking about the new version of "Batman" with Brian, and it happens to be related to you."

The other party subtly changed the subject, but Dunn didn't insist, and smiled slightly, ""Batman"? Is it related to me?"

Bryan Singer took the initiative: "That's right, I think I'm too far behind you in terms of understanding of movies, hehe. Daredevil is a film you supervised, I don't want to let "Batman" and "Nightman" "Magic Man" is on a schedule."

Dunn glanced at Alan Horn and understood that Brian Singer was taking the blame!

The director thinks as an artist, how could he admit it so easily?

It must be Warner who wants to adjust the schedule and does not want to let "Batman" and "Daredevil" fight.

No way, the commercial films supervised by Dunn in recent years have exploded at the box office, and Warner Bros. must reduce the risk.

In particular, there are two blockbusters "X-Men 2" and "The Matrix 2" in May, and "Batman" is a bit overwhelming.

"When is the adjustment?"

"July 18th."

"July 18th?"

Dunn's face became a little weird.

This is interesting!

Jerry Bruckheimer, Michael Bay and Bruce Willis collaborated on "Jedi Men 2", the release date is also July 18!
