Chapter 321: Rose's Secret
There is no doubt that Cate Blanchett is a very malleable actor, and it would be an absolute waste of resources to have her in a series of superhero movies.
If you shoot a superhero film occasionally, such as "Hella", the goddess of death in "Thor 3: Ragnarok", this is a challenge to the drama, and it will not be fixed.
If you let her play the role of "Erica" and shoot multiple comic movies in a row, it will solidify her image and have a very negative impact on her career development.
The most typical example is Scarlett Johansson.
The commercial blockbuster she shot failed miserably at the box office, and the literary film she shot couldn't win the Oscar... No way, she had to take over the Marvel series and became the spokesperson of "Black Widow".
The advantage is that she finally made a name for herself in the world through this image and became a first-line actress. The disadvantage is that she no longer has the possibility of taking literary films or films that require strong characterization.
You can only make some popcorn movies, or dub cartoons, or... directly participate in "Her" as a seiyuu.
Cate Blanchett may not be as good as Scarlett Johansson in star attributes, but her actor temperament can also be ranked in the entire Hollywood.
Suggesting her to play "Erica" was just a joke by Dunn to express his gratitude to her and his tendency to cooperate.
Cate Blanchett obviously has a clear line for her career planning. She briefly communicated with Dunn. After learning about the background of this "Erica", she politely declined, changed the subject, and said with a smile: "By the way, you Now that you're a great writer, why don't you send an autographed book?"
Tang En paused for a moment, "Well, I did neglect it. After you finish filming, I'll give you another copy when you return to Los Angeles."
"Is the sales data out?" Cate Blanchett's question also aroused the curiosity of Katherine Kennedy and Patty Jenkins.
Dunn is honored.
Bestsellers, literary writers!
This is a force, even higher than being on the Forbes rich list!
The latter is just a copper stink, the former... is wisdom, realm, thought and immortal!
"A total of 900,000 copies were sold in North America in January. The data for February has not yet been obtained, but many countries in Europe have already started translation and printing."
Dunn's words were very plain, but revealed a faint pride.
As for the best-selling novels in the world today, only "Gone Lover" can compete with the "Harry Potter" series!
At present, "Gone Lover" has been released to more than 80 countries around the world, and is still being translated into more than 30 languages.
If "Gone Girl" can continue to top the New York Times bestseller list, the book is likely to break the domestic sales record of 6.8 million copies of American novels, according to estimates by evaluation agencies.
The global influence may not be as big as the United States, but if "Gone Girl" is adapted into a movie, then the book will also be a super-sale worldwide, with a guaranteed sales volume of 50 million copies.
"900,000 copies?"
Cate Blanchett blinked, she had no idea about this number, "Did you earn a lot of royalties?"
Dunn laughed, "Ella said that January's royalty income...reached $2.7 million!"
The United States takes intellectual property very seriously, so books are sold at high prices and royalties are high.
"Gone Lover" retails for $15.99, and because of the name "Dawn Walker", it gets a royalty of up to 20%, which is indeed a lot of money.
"$2.7 million? That much?" Cate Blanchett's face changed slightly, "This is one month's income, and it's only in North America. If it's the whole year... No wonder everyone says jk Rowling's wealth could buy half of Hollywood!"
Tang En waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's not so exaggerated, sales will be less and less, and foreign royalties... are far less than North America. More importantly, this book was co-authored by I and Ira. Income split."
Cate Blanchett shook her head. "Anyway, this book... at least brings Ella $10 million, right?"
Dunn shrugged, "It's normal."
Cate Blanchett sighed.
Ella Fisher was originally just a very inconspicuous little actor in Australia. Because of her relationship, she entered an exchange meeting of the Hollywood Australian Gang and happened to get to know Dunn.
Although she did not continue to develop her career in the entertainment industry, she became Tang En's secretary, but because of "Gone Lover", she entered the literary circle in one fell swoop, and has a lot of assets, which is really enviable.
Cate Blanchett is a somewhat famous actress in Hollywood, but she has yet to earn a fortune of $10 million...
Relying on Tang En is really equivalent to leaning on a golden mountain!
"By the way, Rose hasn't come yet?" Cate Blanchett's tone was not as natural as before.
Tang En said: "She will come over next week, and now... she is enjoying life."
When Cate Blanchett heard it, it was even more unpleasant in her heart.
Of course, she knew that Rose Byrne didn't have many scenes, there were less than 20 scenes in total, and she was not in a hurry to join the group.
In fact, Cate Blanchett and Rose Byrne have a very good relationship. She can come to Hollywood and live in the "Mid-Levels Manor", with Kate's operations behind it.
The two usually talk on the phone, and Rose Byrne always naturally reveals the beauty of her current life on the phone.
She lives in the top manor in Beverly Hills and uses the top cosmetics in the world. Even Dunn has a special makeup artist to provide services for her; the dress is the top luxury brand, and there is also a female model in the mid-level manor. Teacher ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ tailor-made for her.
The cars on the trip are top supercars like Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Maybach. If you are tired, you can call a driver. There are luxury commercial vehicles such as Bentley, Mercedes-Benz, and Cadillac.
What's more... Banshan Manor will also provide 24-hour personal bodyguards!
Of course, this is also Dunn's monitoring method.
He couldn't spend so much money to keep women and give them a chance to mess around outside.
Cate Blanchett doesn't claim to be that kind of money worshipper, but listening to Rose Byrne's description, there will always be a bit of envy in her heart, even jealousy.
In the past, Rose Byrne's life was a world of difference compared to her, and now... it's also a world of difference!
The root of everything is Dunn!
Cate Blanchett hesitated, lowered her voice, and said quietly, "Dawn, let me tell you a secret, about Rose."
"secret?"
Tang En frowned, very curious.
Cate Blanchett glanced at the other two women in the room, stretched out her hand, and whispered: "Let's go next door, there is a bedroom, it's empty..."
Dunn was a little strange, "Is it necessary?"
"Have!"
"about what?"
"About... Rose's past relationship."
Tang En frowned, looked unhappy, and waved his hand, "I'm not interested in this!"
Rose Byrne is not good, and Tang En is only planning to play, and has no idea of letting her inherit the family for her, and is entangled in her past.
"No no no!" Cate Blanchett shook her head again and again with a serious face, "Dawn, I think... you will be very interested!"
Tang En took a deep look at her and pondered slightly, "Let's go!"
