Heads Up Hollywood

There is no doubt that Cate Blanchett is a very malleable actor. If she is allowed to participate in a series of superhero movies, it will definitely be a waste of resources.

If you occasionally shoot a superhero film, such as the goddess of death "Hella" in "Thor: Ragnarok", this is a challenge to the play, and you will not be able to fix your image.

If she is allowed to play the role of "Eleika" and shoot multiple comic films in a row, her image will be solidified, which will have a very adverse impact on her career development.

The most typical example is Scarlett Johansson.

The commercial blockbusters she shot failed miserably at the box office, and the literary films she shot couldn't win Oscars... She had no choice but to take over the Marvel series and become the spokesperson of "Black Widow".

The good thing is that with this image, she finally became famous all over the world and became a first-line actress. The bad thing is... She no longer has the possibility to take on literary films, or films that require strong characterization.

I can only make some popcorn movies, or dub cartoons, or... directly participate in "Her" in the form of a voice actor.

Cate Blanchett may not have the same star attributes as Scarlett Johansson, but the actor's temperament can be ranked in the whole Hollywood.

Suggesting her to play "Erica" ​​was just a joke from Tang En, expressing his gratitude to her and his tendency to cooperate.

Cate Blanchett obviously has a clear line for her career plan. After a brief exchange with Tang En, 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 are a great writer, why don’t you give me a signed book?”

Tang En paused slightly, "Okay, I was indeed negligent. I'll give you another copy when you return to Los Angeles after filming."

"Has the sales data come out?" Cate Blanchett's question also aroused the curiosity of Katherine Kennedy and Patty Jenkins.

Tang En and You Rong Yan.

Bestsellers, literary writers!

This force is higher than being on the Forbes rich list!

The latter is just copper stink, the former... is wisdom, state, thought and immortality!

"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."

Tang En's words were very plain, but revealed a faint pride.

In terms of best-selling novels in today's world, only "The Gone Girl" can compete with the "Harry Potter" series!

At present, "Gone Girl" has been distributed to more than 80 countries around the world, and translation work is still in progress in more than 30 languages.

According to the forecast of the evaluation agency, if "Gone Girl" can continue to occupy the first place on the "New York Times" bestseller list, then this book is likely to break the domestic sales record of 6.8 million copies of an American novel.

The world-wide influence may not be as great as that of the United States, but if "The Lost Lover" is adapted into a movie, then the book will also be a super-seller in the world, with a guaranteed sales volume of 50 million copies.

"900,000 volumes?"

Cate Blanchett blinked, she had no idea about this figure, "Have you earned a lot of royalties?"

Tang En laughed, "Ella said that the royalties in January... reached 2.7 million US dollars!"

The United States attaches great importance to intellectual property rights, so the price of books is very high, and the royalties are also high.

The retail price of "Gone Girl" is US$15.99, and because of the name of "Dawn Walker", it has received a royalty of up to 20%, which is indeed a lot of money.

"2.7 million US dollars? So much?" Cate Blanchett's face changed slightly, "This is only a month's income, and it's only in North America. If it's calculated for the whole year... no wonder everyone said JK Rowling's fortune could buy half of Hollywood!"

Tang En waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's not that exaggerated, the sales will be less and less, and the royalties abroad... are far less than in North America. More importantly, this book is co-authored by Ella and I. Income is divided evenly."

Cate Blanchett shook her head, "In any case, this book...can bring Ella at least $10 million in revenue, right?"

Tang En shrugged, "This is normal."

Cate Blanchett sighed.

Isla Fisher was originally just a very inconspicuous young actor in Australia, but because of Tony's relationship, she got involved in an exchange meeting of the Hollywood Australian Gang, and happened to meet Twain.

Although she did not continue to develop her career in the entertainment industry, but became Tang En's secretary, she entered the literary circle in one fell swoop because of "The Lost Lover", and she has a lot of money, which is really enviable.

Cate Blanchett is considered a well-known actor in Hollywood, but she has not earned a fortune of 10 million US dollars so far...

Relying on Tang En is really tantamount to relying 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, right now... she is enjoying life."

When Cate Blanchett heard this, she felt even more uncomfortable.

Of course she knew that Rose Byrne didn't have many scenes, and there were less than 20 scenes in total, so she was not in a hurry to join the team.

In fact, Cate Blanchett and Rose Byrne have a very good relationship. She was able to come to Hollywood and live in the "Half Mountain Manor", and Kate was behind it.

The two usually talk on the phone, and Rose Byrne will always naturally reveal the beauty of her current life on the phone.

She lives in the top manor in Beverly Hills, and uses the world's top cosmetics. Twain even assigned her a special make-up artist to provide services; she wears the top luxury brands, and there is a female model in the half-mountain manor Teacher, tailor-made for her.

The vehicles used for travel are top supercars such as Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Maybach. If you are tired, you can call the driver. There are luxury commercial vehicles such as Bentley, Mercedes-Benz, and Cadillac.

What's more... Banshan Manor will also provide 24-hour private bodyguards!

Of course, this was also Tang En's monitoring method.

It is impossible for him to spend such a large amount of money to support women and give them a chance to mess around outside.

Cate Blanchett claimed that she was not the kind of money worshiper, but listening to Rose Byrne's description, she always felt envious, even jealous.

Compared with Rose Byrne's life in the past, it was a world of difference, and now...it is also a world of difference!

The root of everything is Tang En!

Cate Blanchett hesitated for a moment, lowered her voice, and said quietly, "Tang En, let me tell you a secret, about Rose."

"secret?"

Tang En's eyebrows twitched, very curious.

Cate Blanchett glanced at the other two women in the room, stretched out her hand, and said in a low voice, "Let's go to the next door, there is a bedroom, it's empty..."

Tang En was a little surprised, "Is it necessary?"

"have!"

"about what?"

"A relationship about... Rose's past."

Tang En frowned, looking displeased, and waved his hand, "I'm not interested in this!"

Rose Byrne is not good, and Twain just has the intention of having fun, and has no idea of ​​letting her carry on the family line for him. Isn't it self-abuse to get entangled in her past?

"No, no, no!" Cate Blanchett shook her head again and again with a serious face, "Twain, I think... you will be very interested!"

Tang En took a deep look at her and pondered slightly, "Let's go!"
