Heads Up Hollywood

Chapter 138 Unconfident Natalie

The secretary can be regarded as a relatively important role around Tang En. Of course, he couldn't arrange a vase.

Although Isla Fisher didn't come from as high a background as Reese Witherspoon, she was a writer, which gave Tang En the confidence to hire her.

Especially after Bill McNick pointed out the "Three Impossibles" of his acquisition of Universal Pictures, Twain urgently needed to enhance his status and influence.

Oscar is the main direction, and collateral forces are also indispensable.

Writing a book is another means of Tang En!

Tang En didn't read many books, but he was a movie buff. He had watched too many movies. Many classic movies were adapted from best-selling books.

For example, Dunn authorized Isla Fisher to write "The Gone Girl".

Tang En didn't mind adding a "best-selling author" status to his title of capitalist, businessman, director, producer, and screenwriter.

In March, the post-production of "Spider-Man" was officially completed, and Tang En Pictures also cooperated with Universal Pictures to start the promotional work before the release.

Although the promotion was blocked by ABC TV and Fox TV, NBC and CBS will not refuse the temptation of money and the influence of "Spider-Man".

Being able to attract the crew of "Spider-Man" to participate in a talk show is the guarantee of ratings and hot headlines.

Tang En remained calm about Disney and Fox's obstruction behind his back, as if swallowing his anger.

But those who are familiar with him know that this guy is definitely not the one to let it go.

If you can smack him today, he can smack you tomorrow!

It's just that Tang En, who is currently weak, didn't show his edge. He and the crew of "Spider-Man" rushed to New York to participate in a talk show.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Dunn and Scott Swift completed a major layout in the futures market. At the same time, I went to Boston and Cambridge.

Harvard has started, and Natalie Portman is officially a Harvard student.

But when he saw Natalie again, what Tang En saw was not comfort, but haggard and confused.

Natalie's face was yellow, but her pretty face was still pretty, but she could not conceal her exhaustion and gloom, and she couldn't express the joy of studying at the world's number one school.

Tang En panicked, hugged her in his arms, and asked with concern: "What's wrong? Have you been bullied?"

Natalie flattened her small mouth and almost cried.

At the end of the day, she's not even 19 yet.

Tang En became even more nervous. He hugged her tightly, feeling ruthless in his heart. He gritted his teeth and said, "I know there are many people in Harvard who come from wealthy families, but don't be afraid! Nat, tell me, who bullied you? No matter who it is, I can't spare him!"

Natalie bit her lip and shook her head slightly, "No, no one bullied me."

Tang En raised his eyebrows, "What's going on?"

Natalie wrinkled her nose stubbornly, as if she didn't want to say anything.

Tang En said with a bitter face: "I said Miss, what is our relationship? You are my girlfriend, in the future...you will be my wife, we are the closest people."

Natalie was silent for a long time before she creaked and said, "I feel... I don't deserve to be here."

"Ah?" Tang En was stunned for a moment, "Nate, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Natalie leaned her head lightly on Tang En's shoulder, threw her whole body into Tang En's arms, and murmured softly: "I can't handle it at all, I feel like I have to read a 1,000-page professional book a week Totally impossible, and I'll never be able to write a 50-page paper."

Tang En finally understood that Harvard was under too much pressure, and Natalie was on the verge of collapse!

I heard Natalie go on to say: "But do you know my classmates? They are all from key high schools across the country. For them, Harvard's homework is simply too easy. Looking at their calm eyes, I was terrified gone."

"People think I'm here because of my fame, and that's how I see myself. I think there must be something wrong, I don't think I'm smart enough to be here. Every time I open my mouth, I feel like I have to prove I'm not just an idiot actress."

Natalie raised her face and cried slightly, "Twain, I'm really scared. I'm afraid that people will think that I came here because of my fame. I'm afraid that people will think that I don't meet Harvard's intellectual standards."

Tang En let out a long sigh and could only embrace each other tightly.

Natalie's intelligence is top-notch in Hollywood, but in Harvard, it is at the middle level at best. The psychology she studies is precisely one of the most difficult majors at Harvard.

Tang En stroked her back lightly, hesitated for a moment, "Honey, you have to understand that I have the ability to take care of you and make you the happiest woman in the world."

"I know! I know! But...but I just can't be reconciled!"

Natalie raised her head again, and this time, two lines of hot tears finally slipped down her cheeks.

Tang En gently wiped away her tears, trying to make her happy, and said with a smile: "Did you know that recently there was a website called tccandler, which selected "The Most Beautiful Face in the World", and you were the first!"

Natalie said coldly: "So what? When people call you a beauty, you only have your appearance in their hearts, and your personality and intelligence become less important. I don't want to be stupid actress!"

Tang En had a headache and thought for a while, "Nate, think about it, are there still not enough beauties in Hollywood? But besides you, who else is an actress who can go to Harvard to study?"

"But I'm just an actor!" Natalie lowered her head, looking really unconfident.

Tang En frowned, "What's wrong with being an actor? It's your job to be an actor!"

"But...but don't you think acting is a very frivolous thing? I also come from an academic family. My father is a surgical expert, and my mother is proficient in taxation and law, but what about me? I'm just an actor!"

"Enough!" Tang En was a little angry, and said in a deep voice, "Nate, do you think acting can't be compared with academic research?"

"am I wrong?"

Natalie had never seen Dunn lose her temper with herself, and she was in a daze.

"It's wrong, and it's a big mistake!" Tang En was a little distressed, but also a little bit resentful, "Film is a discipline, and acting is a noble art! Nat, academic research can certainly change the world, but noble Art can also last forever!"

"Art? But I don't..."

"Well, Nat, the grand prize will prove your worth!"

"Grand prize? Oscar?" Natalie was startled, her eyes were shining brightly, she stared at him, "But I didn't get nominated for an Oscar."

Tang En smiled, "Oscar still has to wait, after all, you are still young. But isn't there the Cannes International Film Festival in May? That is the greatest film festival in the land of the Renaissance!"

Natalie blinked, half-believing.

Tang En smiled slightly, and did not persuade him any more.

Natalie's lack of self-confidence is a psychological manifestation of normal people. In a place like Harvard, unless you are just waiting to die, if you have a little self-motivation, it will be like a mountain of pressure.

It will take time for her to overcome such lack of self-confidence, and Tang En can't explain it clearly in a few words.

But an art award, after all, can help, right?

Tang En had a clear goal, but secretly sighed bitterly.

When he came this time, he wanted to take advantage of the excitement of Natalie's enrollment and open a new chapter in the relationship between the two, but now it seems that it will be delayed again.

Natalie was in a bad mood.

...

George Paxton was Tang En's personal assistant, and he stayed with him most of the time. After leaving Harvard, Tang En asked, "Is Nat's security okay?"

"No problem, Harvard has many people with special identities, so the university has a lot of plans." George obviously did a careful investigation.

"Not enough, I have to make sure everything is safe!" Dunn pondered for a while, and said without doubt, "Go and arrange a bodyguard, a woman, to protect her safety at all times."

George Paxton frowned, "I'm afraid... Harvard will not agree."

"In the name of Tang En Pictures, donate 10 million US dollars to Harvard!" For Tang En, problems that can be solved with money are not problems. "It is best to let Harvard's personnel directory block Nat's information. She is studying at Harvard. , what I need is a high profile in Hollywood and a low profile in academia!"
