Chapter 279: back the pot

Over the weekend, Dunn left Boston's crew as usual, this time, he was going to New York.

"Recent reports are very interesting." Nicole Kidman is buttoning his shirt for Dunn.

She was wearing a nearly transparent silk pajamas, her charming face was full of excitement after being lazy, and there was an indescribable satisfaction in her deep eyes.

Tang En adjusted his belt and asked casually, "Are you making a joke again?"

Nicole Kidman pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Isn't it true, I heard... Bruce Willis couldn't satisfy his little girlfriend and broke up."

"Oh?" Tang En stopped for a while, then shook his head and laughed, "I'm afraid I'm going to take the blame again."

"you?"

"Yeah!" Dunn sighed, "The whole of Hollywood knows that I have a grudge against him. Now that the big man has made a scandal again, Disney must think I did it behind the scenes."

"Isn't it you?" Nicole Kidman hesitated, blinked her charming eyes, and asked carefully.

"This is someone fishing in troubled waters and fanning the flames!" Tang En curled his lips in disdain, his face indifferent.

"what?"

Nicole Kidman stared at Dunn's eyes, if she understood, "You mean... someone is deliberately provoking?"

Tang En smiled and waved his hand casually, "It's not a provocation, it's a reasonable little trick."

Facing a woman, he didn't say something.

The matter of Bruce Willis, Dunn can see clearly at a glance, the shadow behind it must be Tom Rothman of Twentieth Century Fox!

Tom Rothman likes to play with this kind of small tricks, and the pattern is not big. This is related to his background in an independent company such as Fox Searchlight, and he will pursue the slightest interest.

This kind of personality and philosophy, the interpersonal circle will naturally not evaluate it too high, but it can please the board of directors.

"X-Men" and "Undead" were released on the same day, and by suppressing Bruce Willis, he was helping "X-Men". Moreover, if you make a move now, you can also lead to misfortune and make Tang En the scapegoat, why not do it?

Dunn's reaction was very indifferent to this kind of "taking the blame".

In other words, he has disdain for this little trick.

Tom Rothman likes to play, so let him play.

It doesn't matter whether there is such a black pot for the conflict between Dunn and Disney.

If Tom Rothman can really suppress the box office of "Undead", Dunn is also happy to see it.

Of course, Tang En would not allow others to take advantage of him in vain.

On the plane to New York, Dunn called Tom Rothman, "Tom, about Bruce Willis...you did it?"

"How is that possible?" Tom Rothman said righteously, "Dawn, we are filmmakers, not gossip paparazzi."

Dunn certainly didn't believe this kind of nonsense, and smiled, "I'm under a lot of pressure. Bruce Willis is the star of "Undead", and Disney is furious about this."

Tom Rothman snorted, "If there is no evidence, even Disney can't mess around, right?"

"I'm afraid Disney will play hard with me again!" Dunn sighed worriedly.

Tom Rothman secretly despises in his heart, just you kid, still afraid of Disney? He curled his lips, pretending to be enthusiastic and said: "Oh, we are filmmakers, making the film well is the first, I heard that the horror film you participated in the scriptwriting... is called "The Chainsaw", the box office It's very good! It instantly killed "Blair Witch 2" in the same period, and it can completely compete with mainstream commercial films."

Tang En sighed: "Yes, according to the current box office trend, the screening scale of "The Chainsaw" next week will definitely be further expanded. It's just... lack of publicity!"

Tom Rothman's face was slightly contorted, he pondered for a moment, and then slowly said: "If necessary, I can help a little."

"Really? Thank you so much!" There was a bit of surprise in Dunn's tone.

Tom Rothman's mind was like a mirror, and he asked calmly, "What about Bruce Willis?"

Dunn laughed, "I don't take any pressure from Disney! It doesn't matter, just let the storm come more violently, I can handle it!"

"Dawn, you... In the whole of Hollywood, you are the only one who dares to provoke Disney like this, haha!"

Tom Rothman laughed happily.

It's just an exchange of interests, and he is looking forward to watching the scene of "X-Men" crushing "Undead".

...

The Victoria's Secret show on November 15th is about to start. Dunn came to New York to clear up the relationship first.

With his current status and status, he was introduced by two Brazilian supermodels, and it was not a problem to get a ticket to the Victoria's Secret show, and even... He also got the internal privilege of visiting the backstage.

Dunn's main purpose is to help participate in an action scene of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith".

It's a drag racing shootout that takes place in a New York City neighborhood, and it's replete with explosive footage.

So before filming started, under the arrangement of the local police station, a two-kilometer road was blocked.

There are hundreds of crew members, and there are more than 100 stuntmen alone. This is definitely a challenging shot.

Dunn stood beside Luc Besson and sighed a little in his heart.

Such a big action shooting scene, in the future Hollywood, will be less and less, gradually replaced by safe, convenient and easy-to-control green screen shooting.

Film shooting, completely turned into computer production.

It's hard to tell whether it's good or bad, but the film's action scenes lack texture and indisputable facts.

"Why not shoot with green screen?"

Luc Besson shook his head, "I have asked someone to calculate that the cost of green screen shooting and post-production special effects is similar to the actual shooting cost of the scene. In this case, it is better to collect the scene on site. Even if it is not comparable to Mizoguchi Kenji, At least there must be a pursuit.”

Mizoguchi Kenji and Kurosawa Akira are equally famous film masters, and their pursuit of the "texture" of the film is almost harsh. For costume dramas and even props, antiques must be used to show the truth of the film.

Tang En has been a little surprised that the special effects costs are very high until now, "Then so many explosion scenes will cause damage to the streets?"

Luc Besson chuckled, "It depends on your face. The city government opened a green channel after hearing that it was a film made by Dunn Films."

Tang En was a little helpless, "You are witty!"

However, he was also somewhat relieved. After several years of hard work, his name finally gained enough weight.

Ten minutes later, the explosion began.

"Boom! Boom!"

The stuntman drove a speeding car through the streets of New York.

Apart from the water-like flow of the green banknotes, the scene is really spectacular!

...

In 3 days over the weekend, 867 movie theaters grossed a total of $6.38 million for "Chainsaw"!

So far, the total box office of "Chainsaw" ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ has exceeded 10 million US dollars!

At this point, even if Harvey Weinstein can incarnate Satan, it is impossible to prevent the full release of "Chainsaw" next week.

On Monday, November 13th, the North American theater chain finally made the most correct choice, expanding the screening scale of "Chainsaw" to 2,674!

If this film is not rated R, the viewing age will be restricted, and the scale of the screening will probably be larger.

Dunn once again threw out 2 million dollars in publicity expenses, and Twentieth Century Fox's publicity machine was fully activated, doing round after round of bombing propaganda for this epoch-making horror film.

After nearly half a month of trial screenings and small-scale screenings, and with the support of 20th Century Fox, "Chainsaw" finally got out of hand, like a flood dam, ready to wait. Once released, there is no stopping it!

The name of "Chainsaw" has spread all over North America!

The film director Zach Snyder has also become a popular figure and participated in the recording of a multi-block talk show. In the absence of a big star in "Chainsaw", his dream-seeking process has become the film's best promotion. topic.

Struggle, work hard, struggle, pursue, the American dream!

Overnight, Zack Snyder became the poster child for inspirational figures.

When Zach Snyder was interviewed, he always mentioned the same sentence: "I want to thank Dunn, he is my friend and my benefactor!"

When Christopher Nolan heard this sentence, he also showed the same emotion, so why not?

In order to release "Follow", he went through hardships.

Until I met Tang En, it seemed... the door of life finally opened.

Now in Hollywood, Dunn seems to be everywhere.
