Heads Up Hollywood

Chapter 24 Influence has quietly spread

It's late at night, and Jon Landau is still up. As a producer, he needs to draw inspiration from various aspects, and the talk show is one of them.

And tonight's "The Tonight Show" made him sweat in shock.

"It's over, it's over!"

Jon Landau's face was deathly pale. He had already made several phone calls in a row, all of them were big names in Hollywood, just hoping to save a chance.

He has been in Hollywood for nearly twenty years, can he still be defeated by a teenager?

He doesn't believe it! I don't believe it at all!

But the cruelty of reality made Jon Landau tremble in horror. The "old friend" who was very friendly in the past didn't even bother to speak after hearing his own voice, and hung up the phone directly.

Is this too much?

Could it be that Dunn Walker, a fledgling kid, can achieve such a big influence in Hollywood?

Anger makes people stupid, and madness makes people lose their minds. Jon Landau has not yet figured out the root cause.

"Jamie, it's me!"

This is Jon Landau's last hope. James Cameron is a decent man, how can he give himself an explanation?

Cameron was silent for a long time before sighing, "Jon, you have gone too far."

"I went too far? Jamie, what you said is too irresponsible. Have you watched the Tonight Show? What did that kid say? He's implying that I poisoned the crew's work meal!"

Jon Landau's tone was very excited.

Cameron frowned and said, "Jon, didn't you really do it?"

"Jamie, don't even you believe me?" Jon Landau laughed at himself. "Besides, why does that kid say that? What evidence does he have?"

Cameron sighed and said, "Twain did not have any evidence, so he did not clearly point out that you poisoned him, but...Jon, you should reflect on it. If you were fired from the crew, what evidence points to Twain? Since there is no Evidence, your irresponsible remarks in the newspaper, are you right?"

Jon Landau's complexion changed from cloudy to cloudy, and even Cameron said so, he was already deeply aware of the seriousness of the problem.

"Jon, your remarks are taboo, do you understand? I don't know much about the other major film companies, but I know the situation of Fox Films very well. All the company executives agree that your problem should be dealt with seriously! "

After all, the other party is Cameron's good friend for many years. He speaks earnestly and sincerely, but also hates that iron cannot be made into steel.

Jon Landau fell silent, his eyelids trembled continuously, and finally understood the crux of the problem, his back shivered with fright, "Jamie, you must help me! I can apologize, publish it in newspapers, on TV, what? Either way, I need a chance!"

Things have developed to this situation, and Jon Landau can't do it if he doesn't back down.

Cameron's tone was a little heavy, "Jon, why don't you understand? The current problem is not as simple as Tang En's personal grievances! Outside, you have committed poisoning and slander crimes, and in Hollywood, you are even more An alien that defies the rules!"

Jon Landau looked up to the sky and sighed, wanting to cry, "Jamie, what do you say... what should I do now?"

"Leave Hollywood." Cameron's tone was a little helpless and a little bit reluctant, "After a few years, after this gust passes, you may be able to come back."

"Can you come back?"

There was a bit of bitterness on the corner of Jon Landau's mouth. He is a well-known gold medal producer in Hollywood. After leaving Hollywood, where can he go to enjoy such power and status?

I regret it!

...

Tang En didn't need to worry about Jon Landau's problem anymore. He only needed to ignite the fire starter, and there would naturally be countless big shots to add fuel.

Saying that kind of thing as Jon Landau's gold medal producer and reporting Hollywood insiders to the media with their real names is far more serious than Mel Gibson's insulting Jews.

Mel Gibson only angered the Jewish community, Jon Landau's enemy is the entire upper class of Hollywood!

This matter no longer interested Tang En.

However, with this wind, "Titanic" has been widely publicized. The name of Dunn Walker, just like Leonardo Ricaprio and Kate Winslet, has spread all over the United States. Every street.

Immediately afterwards, the next week's box office was officially released. Sure enough, as Tang En predicted, the box office of "Titanic" reversed its growth in the next seven days, breaking through the 100 million US dollar mark, reaching 101.58 million US dollars!

This is the first time in Hollywood's history of nearly a hundred years that the box office has exceeded 100 million in a single week!

What's even more frightening is that this is the next week's box office!

"Twain, you are amazing and amazing! It's unbelievable, you're not yet twenty years old, God knows what heights you can reach in the future!" Bill McNick called to congratulate immediately, There was gratitude in the voice too.

"Bill, you're too polite." Tang En was also very happy. His existence proved his worth. "Titanic" has completely embarked on a different path from the previous life. "How is the overseas box office?"

Bill excitedly said: "The overseas box office has also begun to exert its strength, reaching 120 million, and I believe it will soon surpass the North American box office. After the release in countries such as Britain, Germany, France, Japan, and Australia, there will definitely be a miracle at the box office." growth of!"

Now Bill McNick is very confident that the next week's box office will exceed 100 million. Even if such a miracle happened, what else is impossible?

He has even looked ahead to Tang En's past predictions, 1.8 billion is a guarantee, and 2 billion is a pursuit!

"That Spielberg movie coming out next week?"

Bill laughed and said, "Although dinosaurs are powerful, they are no match for our big ships, right?"

Tang En said with a smile: "Of course, I have already said that! Even if "Jurassic Park 2" is very explosive in a short period of time, in the long run, we have no opponent!"

Bill was very satisfied, "Of course, Dunn, I have always believed in your judgment. This has been the case in the past and will be the same in the future!"

This is talking nonsense with open eyes, and Tang En didn't point it out, "I understand, so I have always been very grateful to you, Bill."

...

On Thursday night, the premiere of "Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World" was also grandly held at the Chinese Theater in Los Angeles.

With Steve Spielberg's reputation and appeal in the industry, the stars gathered at this premiere are no worse than the premiere of "Titanic" held half a month ago.

Because Spielberg attended the premiere of "Titanic", so Tang En and Leonardo also attended in costumes. Kate Winslet has returned to the UK due to personal issues and was absent for some reason.

In the last premiere, Steve Spielberg arrogantly ignored Tang En, but the situation is completely different now.

Half a month after "Titanic" was released, the North American box office has accumulated to 230 million U.S. dollars, and its box office curve is very weird, and there is no sign of a sharp decline at all.

According to this trend, if the box office in North America exceeds 500 million US dollars, it may not be a problem!

You know, the previous North American box office record was the US$440 million of "Jurassic Park" held by Spielberg.

Steve Spielberg naturally doesn't like young people stepping on him, but isn't that what the times are like? Didn't he become famous back then because he stepped on a large number of people?

Spielberg felt bitter in his heart, but he could no longer treat Twain as a fledgling rookie, especially after Cameron repeatedly affirmed Twain's contribution in the "Titanic" movie.

"Hey, Tang En, long time no see!"

Spielberg greeted Tang En from a distance like an old friend.

As a guest, as a junior, Tang En naturally wouldn't take big, and said exaggeratedly: "Hello, Steve, I have always admired you, you are my idol!"

When others give you a good face, Tang En has always responded with a friendly attitude.

"The performance of "Titanic" is so good that even I would be jealous after watching it!" Spielberg said half-jokingly.

Tang En shook his head and said, "How can it be? With you personally directing "Jurassic Park 2", it will definitely have a new breakthrough at the box office!"

"Oh? A guarantee of US$1.8 billion?" Spielberg was obviously not feeling well, so he used words to insult Twain.

Tang En would not refuse anyone who came, with a straight face, "I'm afraid this won't work. "Titanic" is a legend that is difficult to replicate."

Spielberg's face darkened slightly.

A very unpleasant conversation.

Leonardo beside him was terrified when he heard it. He really didn't expect that his good friend Tang En already had the qualifications to challenge a Hollywood legend like Steve Spielberg!

"Okay, Tang En, I think the premiere is about to start, let's go in first!" Leonardo hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over.

Tang En smiled at Spielberg, and entered the screening room expressionlessly.

"Twain, how are you doing? He's Spielberg!" Leonardo lowered his voice, his face tensed.

Tang En curled his lips into a smile, a little disdainful, "So what? I hate this kind of self-righteous old guy who clings to his elders! As long as he doesn't mess with me, if he dares to mess with me... Humph!"

Leonardo's face was almost contorted, and he was too scared to say a word.

Looking at the whole of Hollywood, only Dunn Walker dares to comment on Spielberg like this? Fortunately, this word did not spread!

...

Halfway through the movie, Tang En yawned boredly, leaned over, and whispered to Leonardo: "This movie is so boring, why not..."

In the middle of speaking, Tang En paused.

Leonardo was sitting on his left, and the person Tang En was talking to was on his right...

The person sitting on Tang En's right hand was obviously a good friend of Steve Spielberg and a famous Hollywood director Martin Scorsese.

Tang En was a little dumbfounded and embarrassed, "Hey, Martin..."

Martin Scorsese glanced at Tang En, holding back a smile, "Little guy, in fact, I've always hated this kind of brainless commercial film that sells special effects."

Tang En thought about the works of this great director, nodded, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "By the way, I think Leon's acting skills are very suitable for your director style. You can get to know each other."

After hearing what Tang En said, Leonardo was so moved that he almost burst into tears, good brother!

Martin Scorsese glanced at Leonardo and nodded, "There will be a chance."
