Chapter 1147： The stars are no big deal

There are more than 2,000 stars on the Avenue of Stars, and one or two new stars are added every month. This tradition has lasted for more than 40 years.

Each star has been specially treated. It is a light red five-pointed star with a copper edge, a name on it, and a symbol that symbolizes the identity of the person.

If it is a great contribution to the field of television, there will be a symbol of television; if it is the film industry, it is the camera.

Others include a gramophone symbol, which indicates a contribution to the recording industry; a mask, which indicates a contribution to theatrical performance, and a broadcast microphone, which represents the broadcasting industry.

However, in this day and age, there are fewer and fewer artists, mainly Hollywood stars who want to be famous everywhere.

Taking photos with the stars is an inevitable choice for almost every tourist who comes to the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Aoi Yu, Nagasawa Masami and others are no exception.

They happily looked for the five-pointed star of every familiar star, and then they swarmed up and asked Dunn to take pictures for them.

Take a photo with Dunn?

This is not necessary.

Now Tang En has gone through make-up and is no longer Tang En.

"Wow! Jack Chen! Jack Chen, come take a picture!"

When Yui Aragaki saw a familiar name and was an Asian actor, she was very happy, so she quickly greeted her sisters and took pictures together.

"Odu-chan, are there any Japanese stars here?" Aoi Yu couldn't help but ask after taking the photo.

Tang En pouted, he really didn't know, "I only know that there is a Godzilla star over there, so it should be Japanese, right?"

"Godzilla! I'm not talking about monsters!"

Aoi Yu smirked, and then shook his fist in protest.

"Wow! Marlon Brando! I like her the most, come and come!" On the other side, Masami Nagasawa made a new discovery and greeted everyone excitedly.

Dunn could only follow quickly.

There are too many tourists here, and these five beautiful girls are too beautiful, attracting the attention of many people.

Fortunately, Tang En disguised himself as a wretched man, and not many people paid attention.

However, Tang En still gestured to the surrounding plainclothes bodyguards with his eyes and was always vigilant.

Don't look at this is the most prosperous Hollywood, Asian faces are the most easily bullied group.

After laughing and laughing for a while, I finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked a key question.

"Odu-chan, where is your star?"

"Yeah, where's your star?"

"Well! We're going to take a photo!"

...

The girls were chattering, and Tang En quickly silenced them, shook his head and said, "I didn't leave any stars."

"No? How is it possible!"

The girls were surprised.

He's Dunn Walker!

The most powerful giant in the entertainment industry in the world!

His name should stay here and be inherited forever, right?

Tang En explained with a smile: "Don't say it, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce did contact me several times and wanted me to leave my name here, but I refused."

"Rejected? Why?"

These girls who have never seen the world say it is difficult to understand.

Dunn said: "These five-pointed stars are actually an industry. The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce and the Hollywood History Trust are jointly responsible for forming a committee of the Walk of Fame. Every year they select a group of recipients who are eligible to be on the Walk of Fame. Celebrities with names. But there are strings attached."

"Each recipient has to pay $150,000 for the production and security maintenance of the five-pointed star. This money is nothing, the trouble is another condition, the recipient must participate within five years after leaving his name. The annual awards show. That sucks, who has time for a little event like this in that time of awards season?"

"So, a lot of big people who are too busy with work, or who are not interested in it, refuse to put their names here. Not only me, such as Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, but also the popular Leonardo Di Caprio and Angelina Jolie didn't leave their names. Cameron, Lucas, Coppola and other big directors didn't leave their names either."

This explanation can be said to be very comprehensive.

The girls understood and nodded.

The interest in these dazzling little stars all over the ground is not so high.

It turned out that the top bigwigs did not come to participate in this name-keeping game.

Only those celebrities who are retired or outdated and have plenty of time will come here to leave their names with great fanfare. The great arts speak more by their works than by such little tricks.

Next, is the Chinese Theater.

The so-called Chinese theater is indeed full of Chinese characteristics. However, in the past 100 years, except for the pair of stone lions at the door, the Chinese style has changed too much, and it is very inauthentic.

On the contrary, the name and footprints of John Wu at the door are more conspicuous.

Next, another photo session.

John Wu's reputation is super big in Japan, especially the historical masterpiece "Red Cliff" that is being prepared. Japan's attention to this is even higher than that of the three places on the Taiwan Strait.

The derivative value created by the Three Kingdoms culture in Japan every year is more than twice that of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait combined.

After the group photo, move forward to the famous Kodak Theater.

This is where the Oscars are held.

There are many tourists.

At the entrance of the Kodak Theater, there is a very spectacular fountain.

Tourists are taking pictures outside the fountain.

However, there were two Asian female tourists who didn't know what was wrong with their minds. Taking advantage of the intermittent period of the fountain, they rushed in directly. They were quite excited, and they greeted their companions to take pictures of the two of them. .

The rest of the tourists looked at them with a very contemptuous look.

What if I step on the fountain pipe?

Aragaki Yui glanced at with a slightly displeased expression.

Because after the two female tourists broke in, the eyes of other tourists looking at their line also became strange.

"They are definitely not Japanese, I'm sure!" Yui Aragaki said angrily.

Tang En's expression was dignified, and his heart was even heavier. He waved his hand, "Let's go, the Avenue of Stars has been finished, let's go to Universal Studios in front. That's my site, so let's relax."

Universal Studios is in Universal Studios.

Dunn's outfit is really uncomfortable.

I went to Universal Pictures, I have to remove my makeup quickly.

The thick clothes were also covered in sweat.

Going to Universal Studios, everyone's playability is greatly reduced.

Universal Studios in Los Angeles is not much different from Universal Studios in Osaka.

I simply went directly to the headquarters of Universal Pictures.

Dunn found a makeup artist to help him remove makeup.

"By the way, you came just in time, and I have something to report to you." Amy Pascal appeared in the dressing room at some point.

Tang En closed his eyes and asked casually, "What's the matter?"

"Warner Bros., Columbia Pictures and Paramount have just signed a friendly and mutual assistance agreement for film distribution. In the future, these three films will be staggered as much as possible, especially blockbusters, to avoid box office competition."

"Is this legal?"

"This is not a bidding union, and the Department of Justice said it would be difficult to charge."

"I see." Dunn still closed his eyes and nodded lightly, "Who do you think is the pusher?"

Amy Pascal said: "I don't think it's very likely for Mr. Burke, nbc Columbia Pictures has made two offers to a network."

The corners of Dunn's mouth curled up, a little indifferent, "That's Warner. Don't say it, it's in line with Barry Mayer's methods."
