Heads Up Hollywood

On Natalie's birthday last time, Twain had a big brainstorm and created a "blackout" storm in the Star Wars studio. He used candles to create a vast night sky, and swayed the romance to the fullest.

The two also established a relationship, from friends to lovers.

This time, Tang En wanted to repeat the old trick and take the relationship between the two of them a step further.

The clever Natalie, who apparently discovered his intentions, firmly refused.

She is already an eighteen-year-old girl, and she is still perfect, which is almost impossible in Hollywood. Even a few good sisters in her school secretly laughed at her.

Of course, Natalie also wanted to try it, and let Tang En enjoy it personally.

However, with her IQ, she quickly figured out that keeping a distance from Tang En was the best choice at this stage.

There are too many goblins in Hollywood, and one after another, they come from all over the world and emerge in endlessly.

It is impossible for Natalie not to be worried, but insist on guarding her body, let Tang En ask for it, and have a continuous pursuit and sense of mystery about her body, which is the best way to maintain the relationship between the two.

After several hints, Tang En understood her thoughts, and gently held her in his arms without saying anything.

He has no shortage of women, and physical enjoyment is at his beck and call. The relationship with Natalie is more of a spiritual pursuit.

Tang En certainly hopes to break through the last layer of relationship with Natalie, but since she wants to keep herself safe, Tang En will definitely respect her choice.

Speaking of birthday presents, Natalie made a request that stunned Tang En—

"I want to make a movie."

Natalie's idea is very simple. The admission letter of the university is issued in December, and she has a gap period of more than half a year.

Of course she understood Tang En's idea of ​​wanting her to rest and relax, but seeing Tang En working so hard to make a movie, she was laid back and seemed awkward no matter how she looked at it.

Tang En was a little speechless. He had previously rejected Shirley Hershler's film contract with Natalie because he didn't want Natalie to act in a bad film.

But at Natalie's age, unless she plays some very inconspicuous supporting roles, it's really hard to find a movie where she can perform well.

Unless Tang En Pictures casts the film in person!

There are enough ideas in Tang En's mind.

But the key is that Tang En Pictures has no money now, so it is impossible to reject the filming plan of "A Beautiful Mind", and tailor it for Natalie, right?

He's already promised Nicole Kidman.

Tang En contacted Hilda Querry, her statement was very similar to his guess, there is currently no suitable script for Natalie, unless she is willing to play some irrelevant roles.

Sitting in the office, Tang En leaned on the boss chair, half-closed his eyes, and meditated silently.

Natalie is the person Tang En cares about the most. He will definitely do his best to satisfy her request, let alone this is a birthday present?

"Reese, come in!"

Tang En summoned the secretary through the phone.

"What's up?"

"What scripts do we have now?"

"Which aspect?" Reese Witherspoon seemed to see Tang En's intentions, and frowned slightly, "Tang En, I want to remind you that we have already launched the "Spider-Man" project, "A Beautiful Mind" The script is also being adapted according to your intention, and there is no extra energy and money to make another movie."

"I know!" Tang En waved his hand, "The investment is between 30 million and 40 million. It's a literary film, and it's mainly for awards."

Reese gave him a deep look, "Is it Nat?"

"Well, you're very smart." Tang En smiled wryly, "She's a bit restless and wants to make a movie to hone her acting skills."

The corner of Reese's eyes twitched, and she realized, "Are you going...to give up "A Beautiful Mind" and make another movie instead?"

Tang En shrugged, "Aside from this, is there any other possibility?"

"What about Nicole?"

Tang En had a headache. Nicole Kidman had read the book "A Beautiful Mind" three times, and she planned to pay a visit in the near future, communicate with Mrs. Nash face to face, and live with her for a period of time to study, Research and figure out the characters.

Looking at the whole world, there is only Hollywood with such hardworking and professional actors.

"If it doesn't work, let's start a play with multiple heroines, let Nicole and Nat both play, um... Maybe you can play a role, and Naomi will do too."

"I'm not going, I'm the heroine now!" Reese Witherspoon rolled her eyes, but a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, "Many heroines? Twain, I suddenly thought of two scripts. "

"Oh? Tell me."

"The first one is called The Fallen Sister."

Tang En had never heard of it before, "The original script from our screenwriting department?"

"Well, I really like this script." Reese said with both eyes shining, "It's about a pair of sisters who are lonely. In order to take care of the younger sister, the older sister married a rich jerk. Defiled by this bastard, and..."

"This is challenging the bottom line of the American people. It is not good for Nat's image." Dunn immediately interrupted Reese. Since it is "Fallen Sisters", the result must have gone through the struggle of human nature, social constraints and moral kidnapping. , the sisters chose to settle down.

The story is very avant-garde, but this is a challenge to the values ​​of American imperialism, which is the category of B-grade movies. Mainstream movies, whether commercial or literary, never cross the red line.

For example, "Billy Lynn's Halftime Walk" was abused and condemned in North America.

Natalie doesn't need topic hype, Tang En can't let her participate in an overly controversial movie, "What about the next script?"

"It's an adaptation of a novel, "The Girl Who Moves the Soul"."

""The Girl Who Moved Soul"?"

Tang En's eyes lit up. Tang En Pictures acquired the copyright of this novel two years ago, and Manola Daggis placed high hopes on it. As long as there are suitable directors and actors, it is very likely to hit the best picture Oscar.

The theme of this movie is in line with the taste of the old beauty, and it is also Oscar's favorite. It is equivalent to the female version of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", but the theme is more distinct and deeper.

It's just that the original version of "The Girl Who Moved the Soul" hired a rookie director, and the leading actress Winona Ryder had mediocre acting skills, which severely limited the expressiveness of the film.

On the contrary, the supporting actress Angelina Jolie won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress by virtue of her outstanding performance in the movie, and thus embarked on the road to superstardom.

Reese Witherspoon said: "This is an adaptation of Suzanne's novel, about her being sent to a mental hospital, where she met a lot of unusual women, it is a typical multi-female film."

Tang En slapped his hands heavily, "Let Manola come over!"

...

The next day, Twain Films had an internal meeting with the theme of the two movies "Spider-Man" and "The Girl Who Moved Soul".

The script of "Spider-Man" is the framework proposed by Twain. Because the Marvel universe is very vast and the timeline is very long, it is fixed in the high school period of "Peter Parker".

The writing of the script is under the leadership of Nina Jacobson, President of Marvel Pictures, and the elemental outline is provided by the Marvel Entertainment Creative Committee, and the scriptwriting department of Marvel Pictures is responsible for writing;

Then it was handed over to the market analysis department of the parent company, reviewed by Andrew O'Hare and suggested revisions, and further adapted by the screenwriters of Dunn Films.

Hollywood is a streamlined film industry. It is normal for a script to be adapted by twenty or thirty screenwriters.

As for "The Girl Who Moved the Soul", Tang En directly proposed a clear film framework and theme requirements——

"Every one of us will experience sadness, pain, and even despair in our lives. But we must go through this emotional sandstorm like a soldier, and only after going through the baptism can we truly move forward with our feet on the ground. Sway again, stop wandering, stop staying. If you refuse everything because of fear, you will stagnate and grow, and you will be trapped in a dark and small space all your life, becoming your own demon. When pain comes to life , accepting it first, then living through it, and finally stepping over it.”

To this end, the art analyst Manola Daggis led the screenwriting team of Dunn Films to stop rewriting "A Beautiful Mind" and start to adapt the novel "The Girl Who Moved Soul", the heroine is based on Nicole Kidman , the female number two is based on Natalie Portman.

At the same time, Tang En's casting assistant, Glenn Fierro, was also looking for a needle in a haystack, and started to choose a suitable director for "The Girl Who Moved Soul".
