Heads Up Hollywood

Once Tang En Pictures' ban order was issued, it caused a shock in the industry.

These two companies seem to be fighting to the death!

Fortunately, both parties were more cautious in handling the situation, and did not let the bad influence expand, and everything was within the controllable range.

Just like the notice that Disney banned Tang En Pictures some time ago, as soon as the news of Tang En Pictures' banning Disney came out, Tang En's friends quickly called.

Mel Gibson was the first to bear the brunt, with an indescribable sarcasm in his tone, "Twain, you even taught me a few days ago that I have anti-Semitic thoughts and won't be able to get along in Hollywood. If you call Disney like this, aren't you going to die?"

Tang En said angrily: "You think I'm stupid? I'm not sure, do I dare to issue a killing order?"

Mel Gibson snorted coldly, "You're also called a banning order? Huh, Disney's partners, if you don't need to ban them, they won't cooperate with you at all!"

Tang En said a little roguely: "So what? What I want is not the result, but the process! I want to let the heads and minds in Hollywood see clearly that they are afraid of Disney, but I, Tang En, am not!"

"Nonsense!" Mel Gibson yelled angrily, "Since when have I been afraid of Disney? With or without Disney, I will keep making movies!"

This is not bragging, with Mel Gibson's status and appeal in Hollywood, as long as he offers a salary of 20 million, all the film companies will rush to ask for it.

Now Mel Gibson's salary has exceeded the industry's highest standard of 20 million US dollars, reaching 25 million US dollars!

Tang En said contemptuously: "You are not afraid of Disney, but don't forget that there is the whole 'Australian Gang' behind you."

Mel Gibson said disdainfully: "I really don't believe that Disney can still block the whole of Australia? Okay, I still have to film, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you, when will your new movie start?"

"A Beautiful Mind" starring Australian actors Russell Crowe and Nicole Kidman.

"It's coming soon, August 21st, what's the matter?"

"I will leave here at the beginning of September to report to the crew of "Unsinkable". Please arrange it, and I will spare half a day to play a guest role in your play." Mel Gibson said lightly.

Tang En was stunned suddenly, "Ah? What did you say?"

Mel Gibson said impatiently: "Do you have a problem with your ears? I said I'm going to play a guest role in "A Beautiful Mind". You can arrange it! Don't worry, it's free, and I don't want your money!"

"Mel, this..."

Tang En was so moved that he was a little tongue-tied.

Now, the matter of the banning order is raging, and all the first-line directors and actors in Hollywood have received such notices, and they are panicked and uncertain.

Between Tang En Pictures and Disney, how should I choose?

Twain Films is weak, but the movies are brilliant and they can make popular actors. The hottest new star this summer is undoubtedly "Spiderman" James Franco.

Disney's movies... really can't compare to Tang En Pictures, but the Disney family has a big business and a wide range of channels, involving TV, music, theater, variety shows and many other industries, and they can't afford to offend them at all.

Now, Mel Gibson has said he's taking a cameo role in "A Beautiful Mind," more symbolically than practically.

This is equivalent to telling the whole of Hollywood that the number one superstar in Hollywood has chosen Twain Films!

This is a huge favor!

Mel Gibson didn't waste any more time talking to Twain, "Okay, my work schedule is tight here, and I'm about to start work. I can't help much with Hollywood, so you should pay more attention."

After hanging up the phone, Tang En let out a long sigh.

This big brother Gibson really has the demeanor of a tough guy and a cowboy, so loyal!

In addition to Mel Gibson, Leonardo Ricaprio, Nicole Kidman, Russell Crowe, Tom Hanks, Anthony Hopkins, Jack Nicholson and others A batch of first-line actors sent emails or called in person to express their support for Twain.

Especially Kate Winslet, which made Dunn dumbfounded. This girl actually wanted to bombard Disney while participating in a talk show, but was strictly prohibited by her manager Hilda Querry.

Tang En also hurriedly dissuaded her, telling her to give up this idea completely.

The status of an actress in Hollywood is far lower than that of an actor of the same level.

This level of "battle" is not at all qualified for an actress to participate in. A random wave of radiation can shatter her to pieces.

Compared to the touch brought by these supporters, there were two actors who made Twain very dissatisfied.

One is Pearl Harbor star Ben Affleck.

When casting for "Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Man's Menace", Twain overcame all opinions and chose Ben Affleck to play "Obi-Wan", allowing him to successfully advance to the first-line actor.

But this guy, filming "Pearl Harbor" directed by Michael Bay, Tang En's arch-enemy, is nothing more than that. It's okay to not express his opinion when Tang En Pictures and Disney are in trouble. After all, it is difficult to survive in the cracks.

But he didn't even send a text message or email, which is too heartless.

Tang En was quite disappointed with this guy's character.

The other is James Franco, the "Spiderman" who suddenly became popular this summer!

He sent an email to Tang En, but his attitude was not firm, especially when he was interviewed by the media, when asked about the dispute between Tang En Pictures and Disney, this guy was always evasive and never answered directly.

Such an attitude, of course, reflects that James Franco has a high emotional intelligence and is good at creating a public image.

But this made Tang En feel a little chilled.

The reason why James Franco became the hottest first-line actor in Hollywood overnight was because of Twain, and it was because of "Spider-Man"!

To put it bluntly, Tang En is his benefactor!

Others can have their own way between Dunn Films and Disney, but James Franco shouldn't!

Tang En didn't ask James Franco to play a cameo role in "A Beautiful Mind" at this critical moment like Mel Gibson.

But when facing the media, can you stand more resolutely on the side of Tang En Pictures?

Of course, what James Franco did was not wrong, and he also sent a condolence email to Tang En.

But in Twain's view, he prefers the character of Mel Gibson and Leonardo Ricaprio, who are willing to be kind and friendly.

Tang En originally wanted to get along with him as a friend, but now it seems that a purely professional relationship is fine.

Anyway, James Franco signed a 10-film contract with Marvel. According to the contract requirements, if Marvel paid $20 million in remuneration, he had to put on the "Spider-Man" shirt again.

When the career is going smoothly, there will be good friends and good brothers everywhere. Only when going through some ups and downs can you clearly see the true colors of others.

On the contrary, Tang En was a little grateful for Disney's banning order.

...

On August 19, Tang En Pictures spent 16 million US dollars to complete the acquisition of the independent film company "Good Machine Films".

Good Machine Films, which has been merged into Tang En Films, will be renamed "Focus Films", which is responsible for the production, production, and distribution of independent films, especially literary films that are aimed at awards.

The banning order obviously did not affect the normal industrial layout of Tang En Pictures.

On August 20, the box office of "The Girl Who Moved Soul" was released in the first week. It was released for 6 days, and the box office reached 15.8 million US dollars, ranking second on the weekly box office list.

Topping the list was New Line Cinema's horror film Invasion of the Brain Cells, which took in $17.5 million in its opening week. In third place was Paramount's "The King of Comedy," with $11.05 million.

However, compared with the unanimously acclaimed and invincible "Soul Shifting Girl", "Invasion of Brain Cells" has a poor reputation and has been criticized by many film critics. They believe that the biggest attraction of this movie is the heroine Jennifer Lopez Zi's ​​figure, not the movie itself.

Many evaluation agencies believe that with the explosion of word-of-mouth and no more new movies being released, "Soul Shifting Girl" is likely to surpass "Invasion of Brain Cells" in the second week's box office list, ranked first.

However, there are still some institutions that believe that "The Girl Who Moved Soul" is a literary film after all, and the box office reached 15.8 million US dollars in the first week, which is also the result of Tang En's self-hype and satirizing Disney.

Next week, Disney's comedy "Fox and Dog Party" will be released, maybe...

There will be a Star Wars!
