Heads Up Hollywood

"Huh? Why are you here again? Do you still want to sleep on the sofa?"

At night, when Sophia saw Tang En, she couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled.

Tang En said with a smile: "I just wanted to say thank you, thank you for helping me get in touch with your father, otherwise today's matter would not end well."

Sophia was surprised, "I'm curious how you convinced my father, he's a stubborn old man!"

"Persuade? No, I never thought of persuading him." Tang En shook his head again and again, and said slowly, "I just said that Sophia was harassed by a dozen Italian brats on the set, and the local police did not intervene. The budget is limited and there are too few bodyguards to do anything."

Sophia was taken aback, then laughed angrily, "Tang En, you are really shameless!"

Tang En moved directly to her side, and said with a smirk: "Want to try something more shameless?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his arms to wrap around her waist. He is very confident. If a woman accepts you to live on the sofa in her room, it means she can also accept you to sleep on her bed!

Sophia rolled his eyes at him, stretched out a tender finger, picked Tang En's chin, and said in a condescending posture: "I'll give you a chance! But...you have to work hard, if you don't make people uncomfortable Satisfied, then don't blame me for telling what happened today! Believe me, that old guy will definitely get angry, he hates people teasing him the most."

All joking aside, Tang En's unruffled demeanor during the day is just like the Prince Charming in fairy tales that many girls yearn for. It really fascinates people.

"Don't worry, the old Mr. Coppola is not easy to deal with, but the little Ms. Coppola is still easy to catch!" Tang En directly picked her up by the waist and walked to the bedroom.

"Wait, let's take a shower first." Sophia's face was flushed, and she was a little shy. She still felt weird to do this kind of thing with her good friend.

Tang En whispered, "I won't wash it anymore, I like the original flavor."

"Pfft!" Sophia gave him a big roll of eyes coquettishly, "You are really bad!"

"Then do you like the good or the bad?"

Sophia couldn't help but laugh.

"speak?"

"Bad!" Sophia punched him lightly, "You scoundrel!"

...

"Hey, some time, let me visit your father."

In the bedroom that had been silent for a long time, Tang En said something very unpleasant.

"Ah? Oh, okay." Sophia didn't want to move, and asked in a daze, "Tang En, don't you plan to find a girlfriend? Are you going to keep messing around like this?"

Tang En said with a smile: "What you said is still messing around, don't you scold yourself too? A girlfriend... I'm looking for it, take your time, don't worry."

Sophia suddenly became interested and turned to look at him, "What type do you like? I know a lot of beautiful girls. You know, I have worked as a model, an actress, and made music. I also have many friends in the fashion circle." ,you……"

"Okay, Sophia!" Tang En interrupted her, "For this kind of thing, just let it happen, you can introduce me a few...fucky friends are fine, but let's forget about girlfriends."

Sophia went over angrily and bit his chest hard, "I've never seen such a bastard like you!"

Tang En endured the pain, and suddenly remembered something, "By the way, I remember you plan to make a movie?"

"That's right, the script has been finished. I was ready to start shooting. I heard that you were going to make a new film, so I postponed the shooting. I came here to learn from you." Sophia admitted without hiding anything.

Tang En was a little surprised, "Do you need my help?"

Sophia shook her head, "That's not necessary. I have already negotiated with Paramount Classics. They will fund and help me build a crew. You know, my father's "The Godfather" trilogy was filmed for Paramount. .”

Tang En frowned, "In the future, you can find me for filming, there is no need to touch your father's relationship."

"You?" Sophia pouted, "How much money do you have? What if the movie loses money?"

Tang En shook his head with a solemn expression, "Commercial blockbusters must be extra careful, but those literary movies with depth, even if they lose money, I think they should be made. Hollywood has earned a lot of capital, and it should give something back."

Sophia recalled Tang En's words, and her blurred eyes gradually brightened after being excited, and she sat up without caring about having fun, "Tang En, are you telling the truth?"

Tang En curled his lips and said, "Sophia, we both don't have any clothes on right now. Since we're being honest with each other, it's impossible to lie to you!"

Sophia's eyes shone like stars, "Twain, I will remember that, in the future, you must invest in my movies, must invest, invest unconditionally!"

Tang En said with a smile: "The biggest advantage of me is keeping my promises!"

...

Entering November, the weekly box office list of "Titanic" has fallen out of the top ten, but the North American box office revenue of 580 million US dollars is enough to drive the entire United States crazy.

With the current box office trend, "Titanic" is likely to be released before Christmas, and the box office of more than 600 million US dollars is already a certainty.

As for the overseas box office, it needs to be described as violent. The overseas box office of 1.03 billion made the entire Fox Films excitedly hold a three-day celebration party.

However, Tang En was filming "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" and did not participate.

I heard that on the day of the celebration, James Cameron and Bill McNick proposed to shoot a new film, which really surprised Tang En.

The former Cameron, after filming "Titanic", started to go out of business and travel around the seabed. It was not until more than ten years later that he produced the mainstream commercial film "Avatar".

Cameron now has another filming plan?

This news really stunned Tang En for a while, and then burst out laughing.

In his previous life, Cameron was able to frantically go to the bottom of the sea to play mainly because he had no financial troubles. "Titanic" brought him a net income of 100 million US dollars.

But it's different now. Twain became a director, and he took out all the dividends. Cameron only took 3 million US dollars for the production fee. Of course, it was not enough for him to squander it. It is normal to have a plan to shoot a new film.

It's just that with Cameron's efficiency of excellence, this project will not start within two or three years.

Twain was unable to attend the celebration party, but Bill McNick still called him personally and asked him when the movie would wrap up. At the same time, he told him that no matter what, he had to dare to return to Los Angeles before December 15th.

This day is the awards dinner of the Academy Awards, at which several important awards such as the Oscar Lifetime Achievement Award will be presented.

More importantly, this is a good opportunity to build relationships and talk about friendship.

At the 70th Oscar in 1998, "Titanic" will definitely get multiple nominations, but it's really hard to say whether it can get the nomination for best director.

"Titanic" is a very good movie, but Dunn Walker is only eighteen years old!

In the 70-year Oscar history, there has never been a director nominated for an Oscar at such a young age.

So Bill McNick's meaning is very simple. Cameron and Kate Winslet are easy to talk about. It is not a big problem to get nominated, let alone technical awards. Only the nomination for best director is worrying. .

Tang En was silent for a long time.

With his character, he really doesn't want to talk to Oscar! Why do I let you criticize the movies I made?

Only now there is a big problem, his sunglasses system!

There are now two major skills in the sunglasses, "Mirror Mirror Possession" and "Contract Stealing".

The conditions for obtaining "Mirror Mirror Possession" are very strict, and the global box office must reach 1 billion US dollars. But this is not a big problem for Twain, "Titanic" alone can almost get "mirror image possession" twice.

It's just that "stealing the contract" is a bit troublesome, and the condition given is to win an Oscar.

One Oscar, one reward.

Tang En won the directorship of "Titanic" through this skill, which shows its strength. In the gift package for newcomers, Tang En was given two chances to "steal the contract", and he still had some left.

But that doesn't mean he won't need it anymore!

So facing the Oscar, Twain had to curb his aloof temper, and together with other big names and superstars, held it, coaxed it, begged it, and awarded the award to himself.

What a fool!

"Well, I see, the film will be finished in half a month, and I will definitely be able to go back."

Tang En sighed, after all, he didn't say anything out of the ordinary to provoke Oscar.

Who is Bill McNick?

After being kicked out of 20th Century Fox by Tom Rothman and Jim Ganopoulos, this guy entered the academy, triumphed all the way, and took the position of Oscar chairman...

"It's impossible for me to shoot "Titanic" and not even get a nomination?"

Tang En didn't believe it!
