Chapter 1225： Dominant

The Avengers is out.

Even though there are "Daredevil 2" and "Pirates Alliance 3" in front of the popular summer programs, everyone understands that the real protagonist of this summer program... is "The Avengers"!

It grossed $16.4 million in advance at the box office!

It broke the early-stage box office record held by "Star Wars Episode 1: The Menace of the Ghost Man"!

On the first day of release, the North American box office was 80.81 million US dollars!

It broke the single-day box office record just created by "Pirates Alliance 3: The World's End"!

In the following two days, "Revenge of the Alliance" took another 69.58 million US dollars and 57.07 million US dollars at the box office, and the first week box office was 224 million US dollars!

Break the record again!

The overseas market also showed an unstoppable trend, contributing 287 million US dollars!

Prior to this, "Pirates Alliance 3" just set a new global box office record with $410 million.

Now, a month later, a new record has been set again, $500 million!

"The Avengers" seems to come with a mission to break the box office records of all movies through the ages!

The box office broke 500 million US dollars in the first week, which is really an inexhaustible gesture.

When the global box office of "Pirate Alliance 3" exceeded 1 billion US dollars, there is no doubt that the global box office of "Avengers" will also exceed 1 billion US dollars!

Even... it is no longer the shackles of 1 billion dollars.

Maybe it can break the box office record held by "Titanic".

With the current momentum, it is not impossible!

A lot of entertainment media have even begun to make crazy noises, touting that "The Avengers" will defeat "Titanic" and become the highest-grossing movie in film history!

After all, the $500 million box office in the first week is too shocking.

In the midst of a frenzy of advocacy, Dunn remained sober.

In the final analysis, "The Avengers" is just a funny and humorous family film, and there is nothing to impress the soul, let alone "Titanic", which is deeply loved. In the field of superhero movies, it is even impossible. Comparable to Nolan's Daredevil 2.

The depth of thought determines the long-term box office of the movie.

The long-term box office movies are always Oscar-level movies.

A popcorn movie like "The Avengers" can at most make a short-term profit. It is very difficult to break the box office record of "Titanic"!

If it made $1.5 billion at the box office, it would be a big success.

Compared with everyone's focus on "The Avengers", Dunn seems very calm. His target is another movie - "The Queen Wears Prada".

The film was released on June 30, and it also achieved good results.

Released in the first week, the box office was 29 million US dollars, beating "Break Up Men and Women" and "Pirate League 3", and the weekly box office list was No. 1. Released the following week, it grossed $35 million at the weekly box office, second only to "Avengers" and second on the list.

Two weeks later, "The Devil Wears Prada" has grossed $64 million in North America and $55 million overseas.

Although it can't be compared with commercial blockbusters such as "Pirates 3" and "Avengers", such box office results are not high.

But relative to its $35 million production cost, the North American box office of $64 million is gratifying enough.

According to the current box office trend, the North American box office of "The Devil Wears Prada" can be between 120 million and 140 million US dollars, and the overseas box office is also around 150 million US dollars.

In terms of investment-output ratio, the estimated box office of "The Devil Wears Prada" of $280 million is equivalent to the $1.75 billion box office of "The Avengers".

It has been very successful!

In particular, the joint marketing of "The Devil Wears Prada" and Prada has boosted the popularity of luxury goods, especially in Korea and Japan. In the past two weeks, sales have surged by 750%!

The fashion industry is also a core issue that Dunn is very concerned about.

In the future world, the only thing that can compete with the Internet... is probably the fashion industry.

In the ranking of the world's richest people, in addition to Internet bigwigs, Amancio Ortega, the big boss of Zara, and Bernard Arnault, the big boss of LV, can make the list. The latter is the second super-rich person worth over $100 billion after Amazon's Bezos.

Prada is the pinnacle of the new global fashion industry layout and plays a vital role, and Tang En is very concerned about it.

He even attended an exhibition of Prada products in person.

Outside of work, there are also beauties to accompany her.

Because of "The Queen Wears Prada", Anne Hathaway signed a contract with Prada and became the spokesperson of the product. However, Prada's spokesperson is more than Anne Hathaway.

Prada, a world-class luxury brand, also has its own fashion week show.

When there is a fashion week, there will naturally be exclusive contracted models.

On this day, Dunn saw one.

Speaking of which, there are also some special fates, the other party is an Australian.

Invisibly, this has shortened the distance between the two sides.

Australians struggling in the American entertainment and fashion circles all understand that Dunn Walker is their big backer.

From the earlier Nicole Kidman, Mel Gibson, to now Rose Byrne, Miranda Kerr, and Dunn are inextricably linked.

"Dawn, this is Gemma, Gemma Ward, a particularly powerful Australian model!" Anne Hathaway was in the middle and became the introducer between Dunn and Gemma Ward.

"Hi, Dunn, nice to meet you."

Gemma Ward is not yet 19 years old this year. She has a round face, not sharp facial lines, soft facial features, and slightly wide eye distance. She looks a little childish and has no sense of aggression.

Dunn has seen too many supermodel faces with high cheekbones, and when he saw this kind and lovely baby face, he liked it even more.

"Jama? You are so beautiful!" Dunn's eyes lit up and he sincerely praised.

Gemma Ward didn't have too much of a situation in front of big people. She showed maturity that was very inappropriate for her age. She smiled slightly, "Thank you."

Anne Hathaway has been with Dunn for many years, and she could see something in his eyes. Xiao Yingying suggested to chat in the dressing room at the back. There are many eyes and it is inconvenient to speak.

Gemma Ward just blinked a few times, the corners of her mouth curled slightly, and nodded with a smile, "Okay!"

"Gamma, do you know Miranda?"

"Miranda Kerr?"

"Yes."

"Well, I heard about it."

Gemma Ward nodded.

Miranda Kerr has been on the Victoria's Secret stage, and the public's popularity is very high.

But inside the modeling circle, Miranda Kerr and Gemma Ward can't compare at all. Gemma Ward has been on the cover of "VOGUE" magazines around the world dozens of times, and now she is still the exclusive model of Prada and Miu Miu, taking the "artistic" route of fashion week, which is better than that of Victoria's Secret. The "commercial route" must be high.

Gemma Ward and Miranda Kerr are baby faces.

But in the industry, it is said that Gemma Ward is the originator of "Babyface", Miranda Kerr... It's still far from it.

When Tang En went to the backstage dressing room, he felt more and more that this Gemma Ward was very good, with a delicate face, refined temperament, and an ethereal sense of creation.

"I feel like you and Miranda are very similar."

"Me?" Gemma Ward shook her head, "No, we are different."

Seems to be very dissatisfied with Dunn juxtaposing her with Miranda Kerr. She is the most professional model, unlike Miranda Kerr, who is a titular half-ass.

Tang En smiled, "I think it's almost the same, they're all baby faces, they're all so beautiful, and they're all so charming."

When he came to the dressing room, Dunn spoke more directly, with the aggressiveness of a strong man.

Gemma Ward moved her chair over for Dunn to sit on, and let Anne Hathaway sit on the assistant's chair, while she leaned in front of the dresser, brushing the broken hair by her ear, seemingly nonchalantly. said: "I heard... you are Miranda's financier, is this true?"

Tang En didn't care, "Even so."

"Did you help her get into the Victoria's Secret show?"

"Yes."

"Oh……"

Gemma Wardra made a long tone, then took a deep look at Dunn and said, "I don't need it. And my figure... is not suitable for Victoria's Secret."

Victoria's Secret is a lingerie brand, and the models it requires... must have an explosive body, especially the upper circumference.

Gemma Ward belongs to the kind of typical traditional supermodel. She is superior in temperament, her career line is not outstanding, and she cannot be an underwear model.

Tang En gave her a deep look, "Does this count as rejection?"

Gemma Ward couldn't help but almost laughed, pursed her lips and said, "What do you mean? Mr. Walker, I don't understand."

Anne Hathaway next to her kept giggling and winked at Dunn with a little playfulness, "It's over, I've hit a hard nail."

Tang En glared at her angrily, "Go out!"

"Ah? Why?" Anne Hathaway was very aggrieved.

Tang En said: "Go out and show me the door, don't let other people approach."

Anne Hathaway suddenly understood, and with a playful expression on the faces of Dunn and Gemma Ward, she said with a tender smile, "I wish you a good time." Then she cast a look at Gemma Ward. , "Jama, it's up to you!"

When Anne Hathaway left, Gemma Ward laughed softly: "Dawn, you won't be strong against me, will you? I heard that big people like you are not very good-natured."

"How is that possible!" Tang En couldn't help laughing and crying, shaking his head again and again, "Do you think that in my capacity, whoever fell in love with her would not come at the beckoning?"

Neither side is good.

Tang En is an old river and lake who cares about flowers, and Gemma Ward is a top supermodel who has worked hard and succeeded in the modeling circle. Some things don't need to be stated, just a look is enough.

A busy person like Tang En would come to the dressing room backstage to chat?

Or with a powerless model like her?

impossible!

The biggest reason is that she looks good, so she was attracted by Tang En.

However, Gemma Ward still shook her head and said, "I'm not that kind of woman."

"yes?"

Dunn asked in return, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Gemma Ward bit her lip, sighed softly, and asked, "By the way, besides Miranda Kerr, do you have many female companions?"

"Well, a dozen or so, it's not too much. I've left two more recently, and a big house has been vacated. If you want, you can move in here." Tang En sent an invitation in a timely manner, Sister Cruz left, and King's Landing Villa 2 is also vacant.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Walker." Gemma Ward apologetically refused, "I don't want to be a vassal of a man, I want my own pursuit."

"yes?"

Dunn smiled.

Such words have no credibility. It is estimated that her current career has reached the peak, and she feels that Tang En is of little help to her.

Gemma Ward thought for a while, and then said, "By the way, I also made a movie."

"Oh?"

"It's true. It's called "Pink Pajamas". It's an Australian movie. I play a small role."

Tang En smiled, "If you want, you can participate in some Hollywood films. Your image and temperament are very good."

"Can I?" Gemma Ward's eyes lit up.

Tang En said: "Of course, just like Gisele Bundchen. Of course, there are also some small roles, after all, this is not your specialty."

Gemma Ward disdains Miranda Kerr, but she respects Gisele Bundchen, a big idol in the modeling circle.

"What do I need to do?"

"You know, you're charming and exciting."

Gemma Ward pursed her lips and smiled, "Mr. Walker, I said, I will not live in your house like Miranda, use your servants, spend your money, I can support myself ."

"Then what do you want?" Dunn frowned.

Gemma Ward said: "I come to Los Angeles once or twice a month...or two or three times a month, with work requirements. If...if you want to see me, you can make an appointment with me."

"Well." Dunn pondered for a while, then nodded, "That's fine."

Gemma Ward smiled coquettishly, "Thank you for your size."

"Then what about now?"

"Now?"

"Annie is watching outside."

Gemma Ward's face turned a little red, and she gave Tang En a coquettish wink. The flaming red lips seemed to be on fire, as if she was going to swallow Tang En and burn it to pieces.

……

Anne Hathaway was assigned a task by Dunn to watch the door outside.

Several of his assistants and staff were expelled and then found a chair and sat down at the door, counting the time to see how long Dunn would take.

In his opinion, even if Gemma Ward is unwilling, with Tang En's means and strength, he will definitely be able to get it done in less than half an hour!

They are all women, who doesn't know who?

In front of a man like Tang En, no one can resist!

It was as if Marilyn Monroe offered an invitation, and no man could refuse.

Unexpectedly, after only five or six minutes, a strange sound came from the dressing room.

As soon as I put it on the door, it sure is!

"Is this efficiency too high? It's amazing!"

Anne Hathaway twitched the corners of her mouth, deeply impressed by Dunn's method.

Thinking back then, when she and Tang En hooked up together, they didn't have such efficiency.

Speaking of which, at that time, Tang En was managing Tang En Films. The company was not as big as it is now, so there is plenty of time to manage the relationship between the two parties, so you can take it slow.

Now it's different. Dunn is too busy, so he can only take a little time outside of work to do some recreational activities. He must improve his efficiency and get things done quickly. There are other things to be busy with!

There is no time to spend too much time on a woman!

Thinking of this, Anne Hathaway couldn't help but feel a sense of superiority, and her treatment was much better than Gemma Ward.
