Chapter 701: The love and righteousness of Dunn

Les Moonves still insists on his point of view that he has never used his power to harass female employees, let alone sexual assault.

However, the news of his departure spread like wildfire.

Along with him, another well-known CBS reporter, Charlie Rose, who was deeply involved in a sexual assault scandal, left.

Viacom's stock price shows no signs of recovering.

The strange thing is that with the departure of the two, the sexual assault scandal that was once vigorous seems to have calmed down a lot.

Viacom stopped expressing its position, trying to avoid media reports.

Hollywood, too, will no longer continue to speak out.

The news broke out suddenly and stopped abruptly!

It's kind of weird.

In December, the winter is bitter.

Tang En got Redstone, and he was in a good mood.

Blockbuster is not worth mentioning, "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" swept the box office market of movies, "The Walking Dead" became the veritable No. 1 drama in the United States after the last episode of "Friends", and its popularity rose. rise again.

Everything is going well.

In 2003, it looked like it was coming to a close.

Dunn made an appointment with a few beauties and took his giant private yacht all the way south to the Caribbean for a vacation.

The pink sand beach on Harbour Island is known as the sexiest beach in the world.

The water is clear and the sand is young, the blue sea and the blue sky.

Miranda Kerr, Meghan Gale, Anne Hathaway and Monica Cruz, plus Dunn, a group of five, strolling on the long pink sandy beach with the soft sand under their feet , like a massage.

"We came here to film when we were filming "Pirates League". Anne Hathaway held Dunn's arm affectionately, and her white and tender feet kicked up a handful of pink sand from time to time, looking in a good mood. .

Dunn nodded and said, "I saw the first cut of "Pirates Alliance 2: Souls Together". Your performance is very good. This movie... has the possibility of hitting the annual box office champion next year."

"Isn't it? I read in the media that... Next year's box office champion, "Spider-Man 3" has already been booked." Anne Hathaway was a little surprised.

"Pirates League 1" grossed just $760 million worldwide.

But what about the Spider-Man series? All over $1 billion!

Tang En smiled, "One is for the summer season and the other is for the Christmas season. Let's compete with each other. Both films have the potential to exceed 1 billion at the box office."

Anne Hathaway blinked her eyes and pouted: "Gore Verbinski is a rookie director, his first movie... If the box office exceeds $1 billion, it won't be the next Dunn. Walker?"

Dunn laughed.

Miranda Kerr quickly took a few steps forward from behind. She was not in the circle, and she didn't quite understand many things. She asked curiously, "The director of "Pirates League" has changed? I think the director Tim Burton is very good. Ah, I like his style."

Dunn nodded and said: "Yes, it is precisely because of the good foundation he laid in the first film that he has the second film Gore Verbinski to take over and create a magical opportunity."

"Then... Will Director Verbinski soar to the sky?"

Anne Hathaway was a little flustered and a little scared.

When filming "Pirate League 2", because Gore Verbinski was a rookie director, Anne Hathaway, who was a quasi-first-line female star in Hollywood, caused trouble for the rookie director.

Tang En stretched out his hand, put his arm around her shoulder, and said with a smile, "You are my friend, what are you afraid of? Besides, "Pirate Alliance 2" will succeed, thanks to the appeal of the entire series, not him I have three directors from the commercial world, Zach Snyder, Francis Lawrence and Gore Verbinski. Not every one of them has the potential to be a great director.”

Anne Hathaway thought for a moment and said softly, "Director Schneider definitely can!"

Dunn laughed dumbly.

This Anne Hathaway, after some conditioning, has improved her emotional intelligence and knows she is flattering.

Zach Snyder took over the big project "Ghost Rider". Who in the industry doesn't know that Dunn attaches importance to and cultivates him?

fair enough.

As a star, the mind is more complicated, and there are only benefits.

Avoid being deceived.

...

Dunn took a few girls to play among the many islands in the Caribbean Sea, sunbathing and swimming in the Caribbean Sea, which is a rare pastime to relax in this winter.

On the fourth day of vacation, Dunn received a call.

From the producer of the "Harry Potter" series - David Heyman.

"What? Are you going to hold a celebration reception for "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets"?" Dunn's attitude has always been gentle towards capable people.

David Heyman laughed: "The North American box office of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" has already reached 220 million US dollars, and the global box office has exceeded 600 million US dollars. It is estimated that the final box office of this film will not be less than 900 million US dollars. Dollar."

"Good thing!"

"But...I want to say something else."

Dunn heard the hesitation of the other party's tone, and said with a smile: "If you have something to say, just say it directly. Could it be that there is trouble in the later stage of "Harry Potter 3"?"

"No no no, the Harry Potter series won't be in any trouble. I'm talking about the Chronicles of Narnia series," David Heyman said hesitantly.

"The Chronicles of Narnia series?"

Dunn frowned.

David Heyman said: "The Chronicles of Narnia 2 is on its eighth day, and the North American box office is only $87 million, and the global box office is only $170 million. Compared with the production cost of $225 million and the $90 million Dollars for publicity, such box-office receipts ... can only be described as a fiasco."

Dunn had long known that this project would end in a fiasco.

Otherwise, how could he have transferred half of the copyright of such a popular series to Warner, and half of the version to Disney?

He is not stupid!

Donate to the foundation, but also in exchange for a good reputation;

Donate money to Schwarzenegger to get official protection;

What good can sending high-quality projects to other companies, other than funding competitors?

"Oh." Tang En's response was very cold, "If you fail miserably, you will fail miserably. This project has nothing to do with New Universal, right?"

David Heyman said urgently: "I know you have already transferred the copyright. But... my good friend is still the producer of this project."

Dunn suddenly remembered, "is it... is it Lionel Wigram?"

David Heyman said in surprise: "Yes, it's him! I didn't expect that you still remember him."

At the beginning, the producers of "The Chronicles of Narnia 1" were mainly two, one was David Heyman and the other was Lionel Wigram.

If it was an ordinary small character, of course Tang En wouldn't remember it. His heart beat and he asked, "Is he in trouble?"

David Heyman said bitterly: "If you screw up such a big project, how can there be no trouble? In the project of "The Chronicles of Narnia 2", Warner and Disney each hold 50% of the shares. Because Lionel is the The first producer, and it was a huge success, so Disney made concessions and let him be the first producer.”

Dunn understood as soon as he heard it.

A massive $225 million project!

This is likely to be the highest-grossing film in Hollywood's past 100-year history!

He screwed up such a big project, how could he explain it?

Even if he has worked at Warner for more than ten years, there is still Disney in this project.

Warners also has to give Disney an explanation.

"need my help?"

"Ah...this..."

Tang En smiled, "David, don't be polite to me, right? Isn't that why you called me this way?"

David Heyman said embarrassedly: "Lionel's life at Warner is very difficult. Even if he is not fired, he will lose the possibility of taking over a big project. Unless he changes jobs, his career will end."

Tang En said proudly: "When we worked together on "The Chronicles of Narnia 1", it was very pleasant, and I have never forgotten it. You can tell him that if he wants, he can come to New Universal! Warner is afraid, Disney I'm afraid, but I'm not afraid! With New Universal, he can continue to be in charge of big projects!"

"real?"

David Heyman was pleasantly surprised.

Tang En said lightly: "I am the most loyal person, don't you know that? Besides, letting him come to New World is just enough for you to reorganize your golden partners and combine the series "Harry Potter" Finish."

David Heyman and Lionel Wigram have a close relationship.

This is only second.

Dunn values ​​another identity of Lionel Wigram, who is a cartoonist!

He has a very famous set of live-action comics - the "Sherlock Holmes" series.

Just poach him from Warners.

By the way, with his comics... Didn't he also enter the field of vision of New Universal?

This is a great thing to kill two birds with one stone!

Of course, David Heyman was also very excited and said excitedly: "Well, I'll call him now! He will definitely be willing to work at New Universal!"

Obviously just screwed up a big project, but the career has taken a step up again.

Such a good thing, a fool would not refuse, right?

Hanging up the phone, Tang En pondered for a long time.

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian is still a box office flop like it did in its previous life.

Even if the director is Ann Lee, it can't change the huge flaw of the whole story setting.

In a previous life, Ann Lee suffered a career failure because of a "Hulk". In this life, Dunn took over Universal Pictures, and of course it was impossible to approve the "Hulk" project.

As a result, because of Dunn, Ann Lee directed "The Chronicles of Narnia 2" again, which suffered a box office failure of the same level.

It seems that the copyright that has been treasured for many years is to be taken out.

John Wu's level is really not enough, and Dunn is powerless if he wants to save.

Ann Lee is different and definitely worth focusing on cultivation.

"Annie, come here, I'm going to prepare a super classic movie!"

"what movie?"

"Have you seen Brokeback Mountain?"

"Ah? Isn't that a love story between two men?"

"Yes, you are the heroine!"
