Heads Up Hollywood

Chapter 89 The Chance to Stand Up

The Oscar Awards Ceremony is about to start soon, and Tang En suddenly thought of something, "By the way, has the manager's problem been resolved?"

Nicole Kidman nodded, "Well, thanks to you, I've already talked to Hilda Qualie."

Tang En smiled and said, "How about it, is she capable?"

"It all feels the same," says Pat Kingsley, who feels a little guilty about taking Nicole with her from the start.

Twain cared about everything. This is Hollywood, and personal relationships are only an aid to profit. "How did Hilda arrange your career plan?"

Nicole said softly: "She said that my main direction in recent years is still to pursue awards, and I don't want to accept commercial films. I agree."

Tang En agreed, "Well, this is very good. Your height is very limited for commercial films. It's better to win the award first and let Tom Cruise see. Without him, you can live a better life!"

Nicole frowned, "Don't mention him!"

"Hehe, good. By the way, do you have a script?"

Nicole shook her head, "No, Hilda said that I'm not in a good state now, and there are too many bad reviews. Wait for more than half a year before taking the film."

"In half a year..."

Tang En pondered for a moment, "Perhaps Tang En Pictures can invest in a film and you will be the starring role."

"Let's talk." Nicole waved her hand lightly, "The ceremony is about to begin."

This year's Oscars was broadcast live across the United States by ABC, and black actress Whoopi Goldberg served as the host for the third time.

For such an aunt who is out of shape, Tang En really can't appreciate it, and he really doesn't understand the production's employment strategy. Is it to increase the rate of black people?

Tang En was a little disappointed.

In the end, "My Big Fat Greek Wedding", which won the best screenplay at the Golden Globe Awards, lost on the Oscar stage, and the best original screenplay award was won by "Shakespeare in Love".

The best actress award was not surprisingly won by Gwyneth Paltrow.

Is it very watery?

Indeed, this is probably the worst actress in Oscar.

But is it reasonable?

Makes sense because there is no other choice.

But in the competition for best picture, "Shakespeare in Love" beat "Saving Private Ryan" to win the first prize, which is a bit unreasonable and shows the domineering spirit of Oscar.

Although Twain won nothing in terms of awards, this Oscar night was a carnival.

Nicole Kidman also let go of her reserve. In fact, since she moved into Tang En's house more than a month ago, she has already been mentally prepared, and this day will come sooner or later.

Fortunately, Tang En's strength and gentleness gave her enough joy and relaxation.

...

In fact, when he was filming "Titanic", Tom Rothman had a great chance to overthrow Bill McNick and become the head of 20th Century Fox.

But Dunn Walker, like the chosen one, appeared out of nowhere to solve Bill McNick's urgent needs, and even set a record and won a global box office of nearly 1.9 billion US dollars!

The success of "Titanic" made Tom Rothman's painstaking efforts come to nothing.

Afterwards, the successful release of "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" won Bill McNick the approval and trust of News Corporation executives.

Fox Films did not invest a penny, and earned more than 80 million US dollars through distribution alone. This is definitely the most successful deal in Hollywood that year!

With the distribution of videotapes and DVDs, plus the sharing of 20% of the film copyright, the total revenue brought by this film to Fox Films definitely exceeds 100 million US dollars!

The appearance of Twain not only disrupted Tom Rothman's power struggle strategy, but also promoted Bill McNick to a position of prosperity.

The current Twentieth Century Fox has completely become Bill McNick's voice. Although Tom Rothman is the president, the only project he really has in his hands is the superhero movie that Bill has always disliked - "X-Men" ".

As the company's second-in-command, Tom Rothman's power is not even as powerful as one of Bill McNick's confidant producers. How can this be tolerated?

Finally, Tom Rothman has his chance!

Successive successes have led to Bill McNick's one-sidedness, which is originally a double-edged sword.

If you succeed, you will naturally be able to discern talent, but if you fail... you will have to take full responsibility.

Last year, Bill McNick went against the odds and teamed up with producer Arnon Milkan to adapt Chuck Palahniuk's suspenseful crime novel and shoot a movie called "Fight Club."

Because he is very optimistic about this movie, Bill McNick invited David Fincher to be the director, and Brad Pitt, Helena Carter, Howard Norton and other powerful actors joined him. He is very ambitious.

An R-rated film with an investment of up to 65 million US dollars!

Multiple executives at Fox Films have advised Bill McNick to be cautious, and Brad Pitt has never been a box office guarantee.

But Bill has been dazzled by the success of the series, and has a firm attitude, even declaring that this will be a classic movie that can be recorded in history!

Now that the filming has been finished, Tom Rothman watched some of the shots, and his heart has long been as beautiful as a peach blossom in spring.

This movie is sure to fail!

Black, deep, cult, neurotic...

This is obviously a niche film, but it was made into an A-level production. Even with Brad Pitt, it can't save the future box office trend!

Tom Rothman, who has been in the film for many years, is very convinced that "Fight Club" will definitely end!

And Bill McNick, the biggest behind-the-scenes driver of this movie, will definitely become the target of public criticism. As the person most responsible for the failure of the movie, he must pay the price.

Tom Rothman sometimes even laughs when he's alone in his office, because he finally sees the hope that Bill McNick will step down and see himself at the helm of 20th Century Fox.

However, a piece of news completely shattered Tom Rothman's beautiful fantasy.

Tang En Pictures has produced another movie, which is a follow-up to "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" - "Wedding Crashers"!

Tom Rothman was straight up dumb.

He didn't understand, where did this Dunn Walker come from, and how did he always fight against him?

First, "Titanic" saved Bill McNick from the crisis, then "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" was the icing on the cake, and now Tom Rothman is ready to wait for "Fight Club" to fail at the box office, and then join forces to bring it down Bill McNick.

Unexpectedly, Tang En sent another movie "Wedding Crashers".

Is this sending charcoal in a timely manner?

Tom Rothman no longer dared to look down on Twain as he did back then. Even though he was young, he was no worse than any veteran filmmaker who had been in the industry for decades.

He can make "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" a huge success, even crushing "Saving Private Ryan" at the North American box office. Presumably he can also make "Wedding Crashers" a big box office hit.

Tom Rothman is a little out of breath. If "Wedding Crashers" is handed over to Bill McNick for distribution and makes tens of millions of dollars in profits, even if "Fight Club" fails at the box office, how can his status be changed? shake?

Tom Rothman doesn't want to wait any longer, even for one more minute, and he doesn't want to endure Bill McNick's power squeeze. He must plan ahead to prevent Bill McNick from taking over "Wedding Crashers"!

"It's just... how to cut off their contact? The relationship between Tang En and Bill has always been good."

Sitting in his office, Tom Rothman smokes a cigar, his eyes dreamy, his mind wandering.

Suddenly, his eyes narrowed, and then opened suddenly, revealing a bit of brilliance.
