Heads Up Hollywood

"Today is my last time,

express in words

they are obsolete

no meaning

no longer works

Let's lose consciousness together, baby

let's lose consciousness together

tonight is the last time

..."

There was something wrong with this song, and the lyrics were getting more and more excessive. Tang En quickly stopped Little Taylor's singing, applauded and encouraged, "Perfect! Miss Swift, you sing so well, just like Madonna!"

"Really?" Little Taylor's eyes lit up, "Then can we continue to perform "Harry Potter"?"

Tang En laughed and said, "Of course, you can perform forever!"

"Wow!"

The little actors finally cheered excitedly, Little Taylor enjoyed the compliments of his friends in every possible way, and couldn't be happier.

Tang En looked at her mother, Andrea Swift, with a solemn expression, "Mrs. Swift, with all due respect, Taylor is not suitable for acting."

"ah?"

Andrea Swift was disappointed right away.

Opposite is a big Hollywood director, and he doesn't think much of little Taylor, so I'm afraid she really doesn't have much acting talent.

"However, you don't have to be disappointed." Tang En smiled, "Her voice is very good, and her singing is beautiful. And she can write poems, which means that she has rich imagination and writing skills, so it is absolutely no problem to create songs. "

Andrea Swift didn't react for a moment.

Captain Wilson looked at Tang En in surprise, "Mr. Walker, you mean...Taylor can develop into the music field?"

Tang En nodded solemnly, "That's right, she has the ability to create. As long as she cultivates it carefully, she will definitely become an outstanding country female singer. Does she know how to play the guitar?"

Andrea was a little embarrassed, "I haven't learned it."

"Arrange a teacher for her." Tang En thought for a while, took out a business card, and handed it over, "Mrs. Swift, this is my personal phone number, if you need help, please contact me, even if you bring her Go to Los Angeles to study music, and I would like to help you too."

"Director Walker, this..."

Andrea was flattered and couldn't believe it.

Natalie frowned, hesitated for a moment, and walked over, "It's better to come to New York, it's close to Pennsylvania, and there are many record companies. My mother is an agent, and she should have some contacts in this regard."

Andrea was so excited that she didn't know what to say, "Thank you, thank you so much, Director Walker, Miss Natalie, you are all good people."

...

after leaving.

Tang En put his arms around Natalie's waist and said with a soft smile: "Sometimes I think you are quite mature."

Natalie shook her head, "Taylor is too young, she's still a little girl, even if you're not afraid of rumors, it's not the same as an adult female star."

Tang En nodded, "I understand."

"It's mainly about Michael Jackson. It's too much trouble." Natalie sighed. In fact, people with a bit of intelligence understand this truth. The more famous a person is, the more right and wrong.

"He was falsely accused!"

"I know."

...

The plot of "Wedding Crashers" is more complex than "My Big Fat Greek Wedding", with more scene cuts. After several discussions, the production department gave Danny Boyle a budget of 18 million US dollars.

Filming also started smoothly as scheduled.

On November 20, the North American box office of "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" officially broke through the $200 million mark!

Among the 316 films released in 1998, this is the first and only film with a North American box office of more than 200 million US dollars!

The current North American box office of "Heavenly Tribulation", which was widely favored by the media before, is 196 million, while "Saving Private Ryan" is only 180 million US dollars. If it wants to break through the 200 million US dollars mark, it must rely on the popularity of the Oscars. rise.

The great success of "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" strengthened the momentum of Tang En Pictures, and also increased the pressure on Marvel.

On December 1, the two sides launched the third negotiation.

The two Marvel shareholders continued to back down, agreeing to sell 80% of their shares for $70 million.

Tang En Pictures had a strong attitude, and even gave up the opportunity to bargain and directly refused.

Tang En's attitude is very clear, he has only one request, a full purchase!

Everything else is bullshit!

With the widespread praise and high recognition of Tang En and "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" by the media during this period, the two shareholders and management of Marvel will definitely have more intense conflicts.

Tang En is not in a hurry, he has time.

Ten days later, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (American film and television Golden Globe Awards jury) announced the nomination list for the 56th Golden Globe Awards at the Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills.

"Shakespeare in Love", which has just been released in North America for a week, became the biggest winner with six nominations.

"My Big Fat Greek Wedding" also received five nominations, including Best Picture in Musical Comedy, Best Actress in Musical Comedy, Best Screenplay, Best Director, and Best Soundtrack. The same number of nominations.

To be honest, Twain was a little surprised, he never thought that he would be nominated for a best director.

After all, it is a comedy genre. Except for Woody Allen, I am afraid that no one can win the grand prize for comedy.

So Tang En did not have any hope for this.

He is more concerned about Nicole Kidman, can she win the award?

For this year's movie, the best actress selection is very problematic, and there is not a strong actor who has put up a crushing performance.

Among the actresses who have been famous for many years, only Nicole Kidman is good at acting, but it is a comedy.

Cate Blanchett, who performed stunningly in "Elizabeth", and Gwyneth Paltrow, who performed superbly in "Shakespeare in Love", are both young and underqualified.

Others, such as Allie Sheedy, the heroine of "The Art of Climax", have enough qualifications, but their acting skills always seem to be a little bit less tasteful.

In history, this year's Oscar was successfully won by Gwyneth Paltrow and was named the most watery Oscar queen.

But what can I do?

This year's actresses really didn't come up with too decent works. The only opponent was Cate Blanchett, who was born in Australia and had less seniority than her.

However, with Tang En's appearance, Nicole Kidman managed to get out.

It's just the type of movie she's starring in, which is problematic.

Sure enough, with the announcement of the nominations for the Golden Globe Awards, the other three of the top five film awards in the United States have also announced their nominations one after another.

National Film Critics Awards, Broadcast Film Critics Awards, Screen Actors Guild Awards, there are great differences in nominations, but what they have in common is that in the nominations for Best Actress, Nicole Kidman, Kate The names of Blanchett and Gwyneth Paltrow.

As the wind vane of the Oscars, with the announcement of the nominations for these four major awards, the entire United States also understands.

This year's Oscar for Best Actress will go to Nicole Kidman, Cate Blanchett and Gwyneth Paltrow.

This also indicates that Nicole Kidman will definitely get an Oscar nomination, the first nomination in her life!

"Twain, no matter what, I want to thank you." Nicole Kidman took the initiative to call Tang En, which was rare.

Tang En smiled and said, "Nicole, you know, what I want is not thanks."

Nicole Kidman was silent for a while, "I signed the agreement."

Tang En was startled, "What agreement?"

"divorce agreement!"

Nicole's voice was calm and cold, but Tang En was taken aback when he heard it, and quickly shouted, "Nicole, the news must not be announced!"
