Heads Up Hollywood

At the beginning of August, the overseas box office of "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" has reached 162 million US dollars!

Such overseas data, among the Hollywood movies that have been released this year, is second only to "Heavenly Heist", "Godzilla" and "Clash of Heaven and Earth", and is temporarily ahead of "Saving Private Ryan", which was released for half a month.

Although the overseas box office trend of "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" has gradually slowed down, analysts at Fox Films pointed out that this film focuses on the North American market. The highly anticipated commercial blockbuster.

While Hollywood and movie fans exclaimed the unbelievable, they also looked forward to seeing it.

It is said that some Asians have bought a batch of pirated CDs and are secretly selling them. However, the United States attaches great importance to the protection of intellectual property rights. This is the special management of the FBI. After severe crackdowns, the harm caused is within the controllable range.

At this time, Dunn Walker had brought the entire crew to Nevada.

After the most brutal 45 days of shooting action scenes, everyone in the Star Wars crew breathed a long sigh of relief.

The shooting on the desert set is all literary drama, and the most dazzling drag racing scene is all post-production computer production, so the shooting is not difficult.

During the filming of the action scene for more than a month, even with doubles, the two "Jedi Knights" suffered a lot of strain on their bodies.

"Well, is it okay to walk?"

Tang En came to Ben Affleck and asked softly.

Ben Affleck suffered a slight thigh strain due to a high leg raise. He smiled and said: "It's okay, I can persist. The most painful period is over, and now I'm waiting to finish."

"How about you, Liam? How's your back injury?"

Liam Neeson shook his head, "I have only one idea, never do action scenes again!"

Tang En couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

Uncle Liam, with your acting skills, if you don't act in action scenes, what are you acting in? Get cheap and sell well!

...

It is said here that it is a desert studio, but it is actually a studio transformed from sandy soil on the muddy land of the desert, with a total cost of more than 8 million US dollars.

"Everyone, don't talk, this is not a studio, you have to concentrate!" Tang En shouted at the actors in the performance area with a loudspeaker, "We have all endured very severe challenges in the past month or so, don't It’s you guys, I’ve had enough of the action scenes! But now that we’ve cleared the level and we’re at the final stage, I hope you can show your best and try to pass within three points!”

"The lighting team is ready... yes, the light is softer, the camera team is ready... OK! Action!"

"You're a Jedi, aren't you?" On the ancient dinner table, the young Anakin looked at Liam Neeson curiously.

"How did you know?"

"I see your laser saber."

Queen Amidala, dressed in ordinary attire, sighed softly, "Our planet has encountered difficulties. We are going to the capital of the Milky Way to perform a mission, but the spaceship has malfunctioned and is forced to stop here."

"I can fix! I'll fix all the equipment!"

Amidala shook her head, "I don't think so, we lack enough parts."

Anakin smiled and said: "Parts? That's easy to handle. There will be a boat race here soon. As long as you win, you can win those parts!"

"Is it a bet?"

"That's right, those small traders are willing to bet on anything!"

...

This is a foreshadowing that leads to the most exciting drag racing scene on the desert planet. Because Tang En has greatly increased the length of the final battle, he has subtracted a lot of scenes from these relatively minor foreshadowings, and the dialogue mainly focuses on Nata. Queen Amidala played by Lily is the main one.

However, this long scene gave Tang En some headaches. The child who played Anakin was still a little immature.

The long shot is the most difficult point in the movie. Putting such a child in the shot of these adult actors feels like being killed in seconds.

The first assistant director, Christopher Nolan, saw Tang En's embarrassment, leaned over, and said in a low voice: "The long shot method... I think it's fine, let's zoom in and do a close-up. This way it's easy to shoot and easy to edit. .”

Tang En nodded, "Let's do it like this."

...

After confirming his relationship with Natalie, Dunn became more comfortable going to her dressing room. Even if she is changing clothes, her assistant will not stop her.

Instead, Natalie slammed him several times angrily.

After filming the scene that day, Tang En came to Natalie's dressing room again, and saw her wearing a white shirt and combing her hair, she was very pure like the little girl next door.

"Nat, you are so beautiful!"

Natalie pursed her lips and smiled triumphantly, "When will the movie be finished?"

"According to the current progress, it will be almost a week away." Tang En is very satisfied with the ability of the crew, "What's the matter, isn't school only starting at the end of August?"

Natalie thought for a while, and she was a little shy, "Twain, this is Nevada."

Tang En rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "You want to go to Las Vegas?"

"Is it possible?" Natalie's eyes were bright and hopeful.

Tang En smiled and said: "Of course, we can go to the show, or... we can try a couple of games, maybe if we are lucky, we can win a lot of money?"

Natalie was even happier when she heard that, "I'm still underage, can I do that?"

"That's a problem." Tang En pondered for a while, seeing that her mouth was slightly pursed, he immediately smiled, "But it's easy to solve, let's go to the hotel and get a room, and after midnight, go down and play a few games secretly. alright."

"Open a room?" Natalie keenly grasped Tang En's words, and looked at him with a half-smile, "Tang En, you are trying to trick me again!"

"Nate, you misunderstood." Tang En laughed, "I'm talking about a suite, the one with two bedrooms."

"snort!"

Natalie gave him a charming white look, and said leisurely to herself: "Some people just bully them when they are young, thinking they are easy to deceive."

Tang En shook his head and said, "Nate, I'm only three years older than you!"

"But I have never had sexual experience, how about you?" Natalie stretched out her tender fingers, breaking off one by one, "Liv Tyler, Katherine Heigl, Sofia Coppola, Nicole Kidman..."

"Wait! Nothing happened to me and Nicole!"

"Really?"

Tang En said righteously, "No!"

"What about your secretary? Reese Witherspoon." Natalie looked at him contemptuously.

Tang En coughed lightly, and was thinking of what kind of excuse he should find to get away with it, when a surprised voice came from the door, "Miss Portman, are you calling me?"

"ah!"

Natalie was taken aback.

Twain was also taken aback. He had arranged for Reese Witherspoon to play a small role in the crew, so he met Natalie, but she should be in Los Angeles now...

"Reese, why are you here?" Tang En was very surprised.

Reese Witherspoon glanced at Natalie, and Tang En waved his hand, "It's okay, just tell me."

Only then did she speak, "There is one thing that I feel is necessary to tell you face to face. People from Warner came to us and wanted to buy the copyright of "Harry Potter."

"Buy the copyright?" Tang En was taken aback for a moment, then waved his hand sternly, "Not for sale!"

Reese Witherspoon looked solemn, "I know your attitude, Andrew's attitude is also determined not to sell, but Warner's attitude... is quite tough."

"tough?"

Tang En's face turned cold.

Reese Witherspoon nodded slightly, "In the beginning, a British producer called David Heyman approached us. After being rejected by us, he contacted the author, Ms. JK Rowling, to ask us Putting pressure on, we still haven't agreed."

Tang En's face became colder and colder, "She didn't want to repay her kindness by sending charcoal in the fire, but played the trick of a poisonous snake!"

Reese Witherspoon sighed, "Our attitude is very firm, and Manola and I have communicated with JK Rowling many times, and the effect...is not very good. Just yesterday, Warner's A vice president personally came to the door, saying that he hoped that Tang En Pictures could win the friendship of Warner Brothers."

"Warner is too much!"

Natalie, who was outside the matter, also understood that Warner Pictures took advantage of the family's big business, and this is a trick to snatch it? What is the difference between this root threat? !

"Warner is coming, so come here, it's no big deal!" Tang En's tone was unquestionable, and he sneered, "Go back and tell JK Rowling and Warner Brothers that even if "Harry Potter" rots in my hands, it's not a big deal!" Impossible to sell!"

"Twain..."

Reese Witherspoon looked worried, the opponent is not an ordinary small company, this is a Hollywood giant, Time Warner!

"Don't worry!" Tang En snorted coldly, "Sooner or later, what should come will come. Don't think that I will be slaughtered because I am young!"
