Chapter 446: Lost
In the North American film market in the past week, "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" continued to sit firmly at the top of the box office, with a box office of 32.7 million US dollars.
The second place is the focus of public opinion film "Juno", which has been expanded to 2,476 theaters and received a box office of 21.6 million US dollars.
In third place was Warner Bros.' "Eleven Arhats," which earned $14 million in its fifth week of release.
Dunn Pictures' film "Resident Evil" shrunk by 45% in the next week and received a box office of 10.67 million US dollars. It is expected that the North American box office will be around 70 million US dollars.
"Black Hawk Down", which Columbia Pictures invested heavily in, shrunk by more than 60% in the next week's box office, only getting $6 million, and it didn't even make it into the top ten.
The top box office in North America is 50 million US dollars, which is destined to be a big loss!
This time, Dunn's heart was a lot more settled.
Disney must be breaking up with Jerry Bruckheimer, right?
He has failed two commercial major productions in a row, and if he pushes another one forward, the box office "Sixty Seconds" he supervised is also not good enough.
The data proves that he is out of date!
As for Sony Pictures... Jerry Bruckheimer and Michael Bay aren't going to be making Jedi Boys 2, are they?
...
In the new year, Dunn Pictures has started a new round of new film preparation plans.
Currently in preparation are "National Treasure" and "Gone Lover". The creators of the former have basically been determined. As long as they reach a consensus with Ron Howard, the film can start shooting after the Oscar ceremony in early April. The expected release date is next year. August.
"Gone Lover" starring candidates, Dunn has been contacted, the male lead is Mel Gibson, the female lead is Nicole Kidman, another Australian actor Abbie Cornish will get a small role.
The producers are the couple Kathryn Kennedy and Frank Marshall, and Reese Witherspoon will also participate in the production. As for the director's choice... There is hardly any controversy, and David Fincher does his part.
Another big project "Ghost Rider", Dunn also informed Marvel Studios that preparations can be started.
"Resident Evil" was shot very well, and the box office and word of mouth all exploded the original version, reflecting Zach Snyder's personal strength.
Maybe he is not enough in terms of leadership and commanding ability and needs to accumulate more experience, but in terms of directing ability, he has already met the requirements of Bill McNick and Nina Jacobson.
At that time, it will be enough to assign him an experienced and mature executive producer to help him manage the affairs of the crew.
The film will be released in the summer of 2004, with plenty of time. But another manga adaptation film "Ant-Man" must hurry up. The schedule of this film is October next year, and there are 21 months left. At present, the director and starring have not yet been confirmed, and only a few drafts have been completed. script.
According to the current plan of Marvel Studios: in May 2002, "Spider-Man 2" was released; in May 2003, "Daredevil" was launched, and "Ant-Man" was launched in October; in May 2004, "Ghost Rider" led the Coquettish, December is the world of "Spider-Man 3"; in 2005, it was "Iron Man" and "Ant-Man 2: The Appearance of the Wasp"...
Tang En has more and more work now, and many important things are waiting for him to deal with. He is no longer involved in the specific preparations for the film. He is only responsible for approving the project, and the rest of the work is handed over to the people below.
If he wasn't busy, he would have directed "Gone Lover" himself, but this year he has too many tasks.
In particular, there are still many old monsters staring at the back.
Awards season is here!
The power of Kirk Douglas, fully demonstrated!
The United States has a very mature film industry, and there are dozens of film awards in the awards season every year, such as the American Trade Union Award, the Phoenix Film Critics Association, the American Audio Society Award, the American Visual Effects Guild Award, the American Film Critics Choice Award, North American Film Critics Association Award, Producers Guild of America Award, African American Film Critics Association Award...
Too much!
In addition to the Golden Globes and the Oscars, the National Film Critics Association Awards, the New York Film Critics Association Awards, and the Los Angeles Film Critics Awards are also very important.
However, something unexpected happened.
Natalie Portman, who had a great performance in "Juno" and was well-received on the list of leading actress nominees for the National Film Critics Association Awards and the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards, didn't even make the list!
Although Natalie was nominated for the New York Film Critics Association Awards, she was not elected.
This is in stark contrast to the powerful voice of the entire film critics for the actress Natalie Portman!
Natalie's performance in "Juno" represents the youth of the United States and is a symbol of the times. She is even considered to have the possibility of winning this year's Oscar for Best Actress in one fell swoop with "Juno"!
However, the reality...she can't even be nominated!
Because of the war in Afghanistan, it is still unknown whether the Oscar ceremony will be held as scheduled this year, and the Academy has not officially stated its position yet.
But the Golden Globes can't wait. On January 20th, the awards will be presented at the Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills!
In the pre-announced nomination list, "A Beautiful Mind" directed by Dunn is the biggest winner. Best Film Score 6 nominations.
The equally popular "Juno" has also won three nominations for best drama film, best director and best screenplay, but it lacks best actress!
The Golden Globes are voted by 96 journalists, most of whom are entertainment journalists.
In order to get more first-hand news, Yuji usually has a lot of connections in Hollywood and owes a lot of favors.
This makes the selection of the Golden Globe Awards highly maneuverable.
There have been many scandals of vote bribery in history. For example, a certain rich man bought a Best Supporting Actress Award for Xiaomi in order to please Xiaomi, which once caused a sensation in the United States.
Although the Golden Globe Awards Committee later stated that it would put an end to similar incidents, the selection system remains unchanged, and everything is nonsense.
Natalie failed to nominate, which made Dunn in a very bad mood!
"I thought you would refuse to attend!"
On the evening of January 20, Dunn arrived as scheduled and arrived at the Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills with the crew of "A Beautiful Mind". Nicole Kidman apparently heard something and whispered in Dunn's ear.
Tang En glanced at her and said lightly, "Isn't that showing weakness by refusing to attend?"
"what?"
Nicole Kidman was a little unresponsive.
Tang En's mouth twitched and he sneered: "If I don't attend, the attitude I express is to be angry and embarrassed. Isn't this in the hands of some people? I not only want to attend, but also attend in a high-profile manner! You hold me, let's Let's show up together!"
Nicole Kidman wore a black high-slit dress, and her looming white thighs were very eye-catching.
The scene where she appeared with Tang En intimately became a hot topic of discussion that night.
"I didn't expect that they would find Natalie's breakthrough." Nicole Kidman sighed softly, "Poor Nat, you've been implicated by you. Her performance in "Juno" really It's very good."
Tang En's expression was calm and calm, "What should come will always come! It's good!"
Nicole Kidman just looked at him strangely, always feeling that he was holding back, this guy is not a loser.
"It's okay, let's go, come here."
Walking into the hotel, Dunn put his arms around Nicole Kidman's slender waist, turning a blind eye to the envious, jealous eyes of many passing men.
She is almost 35 years old, and her appearance is still against the sky!
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the best in Hollywood!
On the way, I saw Steven Spielberg, who was nominated for Best Director for "Artificial Intelligence".
Dunn was in a bad mood and didn't bother to pay attention to him. Spielberg hesitated for a while, then took the initiative to come up and lowered his voice: "Dawn, I support you in this matter."
Tang En's tone was a little sarcastic, "Really? If I remember correctly, you are all one ethnic group!"
Spielberg looked a little embarrassed and glanced at Nicole Kidman.
"Dawn, I'll sit over there first. Director Spielberg, your bow tie is very special today." Nicole Kidman complimented generously.
Spielberg smiled slightly, "Thank you, my wife personally selected this."
When she left, Spielberg whispered: "Jews are the number one force~www.wuxiaspot.com~ There is no doubt, because Hollywood was created by Jews. But it does not mean that we are all the same kind of people."
"Um?"
"Retired people, for their own benefit, maintain the traditional rules of the past and like to discuss seniority; however, first-line directors, actors, and even managers have seen the traditional confinement of emerging markets."
Spielberg was able to say such a thing, he was absolutely heart-to-heart with Dunn.
Dunn smiled, "It seems that you and Kirk Douglas also have a conflict?"
Spielberg shook his head. "It's not contradictory, but at least... we're not on the same front, and his interests are at odds with mine."
In 1998, he filmed "Saving Private Ryan". In the case of extremely high voices, he failed to win the best picture. Harvey Weinstein and Kirk Douglas teamed up to push "Shakespeare in Love". on the throne.
It was a thorn in Spielberg's heart, and he hasn't dealt with either of these guys since.
What about the same ethnic group?
Far less important than interests!
For example, Michael Eisner, who is also a Jew, still chose to be an ally with Dunn.
Dunn pondered for a while, "Steven, you said... Can Nat be nominated for an Oscar?"
If you lose the Golden Globe Award, you will lose the election, but the Oscars are very important!
Every nomination is a lifetime honor!
Scarlett Johansson has never been nominated for an Oscar for half her life.
Spielberg looked solemn and said solemnly: "It's difficult! I said that retired people...the interests are the same. It is precisely the retired people who choose to work in the academy and serve Oscar."
The blue veins on Tang En's neck burst out immediately!
