Chapter 234: human affection

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

These two companies seem to be fighting endlessly!

Fortunately, both parties are more cautious in their handling methods, and they did not expand the bad influence, and everything is within the controllable range.

Just like the notice of Disney's ban on 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 bore the brunt of the brunt of the sarcasm, "Dawn, you taught me a few days ago, saying that I had anti-Semitic thoughts and couldn't get along in Hollywood. Don't you want to die when you challenge Disney like this?"

Tang En said angrily: "You think I'm stupid? I don't have full confidence, do I dare to issue a ban?"

Mel Gibson snorted coldly, "That's also called a ban? Humph, Disney's partners, don't need you to ban them, and they won't cooperate with you at all!"

Dunn said a little rascally: "So what? What I want is not the result, but the process! I want to let those heads in Hollywood see clearly that they are afraid of Disney, but I, Dunn, are not afraid!"

"Nonsense!" Mel Gibson scolded angrily, "When the **** have I ever been afraid of Disney? With or without Disney, I'll keep filming appointments!"

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

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

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

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

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

"Come on, August 21st, what's wrong?"

"I will leave here at the beginning of September and report to the "Unsinkable" crew. Make arrangements. I will spare half a day to play a cameo role in your play." Mel Gibson said lightly.

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

Mel Gibson said impatiently: "Are you having a problem with your ears? I said I'm going to play a cameo role in "Beautiful Mind", you arrange it! Don't worry, it's free, no money from you!"

"Mel, this..."

Tang En was moved, and was a little tongue-tied.

Now, there is a lot of uproar about the ban. All the first-line directors and actors in Hollywood have received such a notice, and people are panicking and unable to make up their minds.

How to choose between Dunn Pictures and Disney?

Dunn's film industry is weak, but the film is brilliant and can hold popular actors. The hottest new star this summer is undoubtedly "Spider-Man" James Franco.

Disney's movies... Really can't compare to Dunn Pictures, but Disney has a big business and a wide range of channels, involving TV, music, theater, variety shows and many other industries, and it can't afford to offend at all.

Now, Mel Gibson has spoken out, and he's making a cameo role in "A Beautiful Mind" that is more symbolic than practical.

This is equivalent to telling the whole Hollywood that the first superstar in today's Hollywood has chosen Dunn Films!

This is such a great favor!

Mel Gibson didn't bother with Dunn any more, "Okay, I have a tight schedule here and I'm about to start work. I can't help you too much with Hollywood. You should pay more attention to yourself."

Hanging up the phone, Dunn sighed.

This big brother Gibson really has the demeanor of a tough cowboy and is loyal enough!

In addition to Mel Gibson, Leonardo Ricaprio, Nicole Kidman, Russell Crowe, Tom Hanks, Anthony Hopkins, Jack Nicholson, etc. All the first-line actors sent emails or called in person to express their support for Tang En.

Kate Winslet, in particular, made Dunn dumbfounded. This girl actually wanted to bombard Disney when she was participating in a talk show, but was strictly forbidden by her agent, Hilda Quelli.

Tang En also hurriedly discouraged her and asked her to completely dispel the idea.

The status of actresses in Hollywood is far lower than that of male actors of the same level.

This level of "battle" is not something that an actress is qualified to participate in. Any radiation wave can make her shattered.

Compared with the emotion brought by these supporters, there are two actors who make Dunn very dissatisfied.

One is "Pearl Harbor" star Ben Affleck.

When casting for "Star Wars Episode 1: The Menace of the Ghost Man", Dunn defied all opposition and chose Ben Affleck to play "Obi-Wan", allowing him to be promoted to the first-line actor smoothly.

But for this guy, it's okay to shoot "Pearl Harbor" directed by Michael Bay, Dunn's nemesis. It's okay to not make a statement when Dunn's film industry and Disney are in a commotion. After all, it's not easy to survive in the cracks.

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

Dunn was quite disappointed with this guy's character.

The other is the "Spider-Man" James Franco who has suddenly become popular this summer!

He sent an email to Dunn, but his attitude was not firm. Especially in an interview with the media, when asked about the dispute between Dunn Pictures and Disney, this guy 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 Dunn a little chill.

The reason why James Franco can become one of the hottest first-line actors in Hollywood overnight is because of Dunn and because of "Spider-Man"!

It is rude to say that Dunn is his benefactor!

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

Dunn didn't ask James Franco to be as charitable as Mel Gibson, and to make a cameo role in "A Beautiful Mind" at this critical moment.

But in the face of the media, can you stand more firmly on the side of Dunn Pictures?

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

But in Dunn's opinion, he prefers the characters of Mel Gibson and Leonardo Ricaprio, who are happy and vindictive.

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, if Marvel paid $20 million, he would have to wear the "Spider-Man" shirt again.

When the career is smooth sailing, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com is full of good friends and brothers. Only when we experience some ups and downs can we clearly see the true colors of others.

Instead, Dunn thanked Disney for the ban.

…

On August 19, Dunn Pictures completed the acquisition of the independent film company "Good Machine Pictures" for $16 million.

Good Machine Pictures, which was merged into the name of Tang En Pictures, will be renamed as "Focus Pictures", which is specially responsible for the production, production and distribution of independent films, with particular emphasis on award-winning literary and artistic films.

The ban order obviously did not affect the normal industrial layout of Dunn Pictures.

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

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

However, compared with the well-received and invincible "Soul Shifter", "Invasion of Brain Cells" has a poor reputation and has been criticized by many film critics. They believe that the biggest attraction of this film is the heroine Jennifer Lope Its body, not the movie itself.

Many evaluation agencies believe that with the explosion of the word of mouth of "The Girl Who Moves the Soul" and no more new movies are released, the "Girl of the Soul" is likely to surpass "Invasion of Brain Cells" in the box office list in the second week. number one.

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

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

There will also be a Star Wars!
