Heads Up Hollywood

Chapter 392: The Good Guy's Director

In the new week, although Douglas Sr. was hospitalized, it was impossible for Catherine Zeta Jones to stay in the hospital. She was going to prepare "Chicago" and practice dancing.

Because there was no training yesterday, she went to the fitness center earlier today, but found that another heroine, Rachel Weisz, had arrived, wearing a short skirt for practicing exercises, stretching her right leg on the horizontal bar, and holding a mobile phone in her left hand , talking non-stop.

After she finished changing her clothes, Rachel Weisz had already ended the call and looked at her with a smile, "You came so early today?"

"The old man is in the hospital, hey!" Catherine Zeta Jones shook her head, "Let's not talk about this, who did you call just now?"

"Ella."

"Ella?"

"It's Tang En's secretary. We are friends."

As soon as Dunn was mentioned, Catherine Zeta Jones thought of that ridiculous condition, and couldn't help feeling a little bitter.

She didn't mind sleeping with Tang En a few times, she had been in the entertainment industry since she was a child, and she had seen this kind of thing a lot, so she didn't mind at all.

She was worried about the Douglas family, and she was afraid of being exposed.

After finishing the phone call, Rachel Weisz was in a good mood and asked with a smile, "By the way, did you watch "Six Feet Under" last night?"

"Look, the plot is a bit cruel. It's ironic to be beaten to death on the street just because you are gay."

Catherine Zeta Jones nodded. This is the most popular TV series at the moment. It has novel themes and is related to Twain. She wants to watch it from any angle.

Rachel Weisz sighed, "Yeah, I think homosexuality is legal and must go through the process of history. Forget it, let's not talk about it, do you know the ratings?"

"Ratings?" Catherine Zeta Jones shook her head, "It shouldn't be too high, right? This is Starz TV station, and the subscription fee is not low."

Rachel Weisz rolled her eyes, "It seems that you don't understand anything! Starz TV now has 4.23 million subscribers, and last night, 3.47 million subscribers watched TV during the broadcast of "Six Feet Under", of which More than 2.6 million people chose to watch "Six Feet Under."

Catherine Zeta Jones was almost confused by her, "What do you mean?"

Rachel Weisz was angry and funny, "Idiot, the ratings for last night's episode exceeded 75%!"

At this moment, Catherine Zeta Jones understood, her beautiful eyes widened, "75%? True or not? Are you lying? I heard that the ratings of CBS are only about 35%!"

Rachel Weisz said helplessly: "It's different, it's a different audience group... Oh, I won't tell you, anyway, you just need to understand that "Six Feet Under" is very popular, surpassing HBO !"

"oh……"

Catherine Zeta Jones responded casually, then came to her senses, raised her head suddenly, and asked with wide eyes, "What did you say? It surpassed HBO? Dun En's secretary told you?"

HBO is the best boutique content TV station in the United States today, and it is a channel that everyone in Hollywood will subscribe to. Wasn't STA acquired by Tang En last year? This beats HBO?

Is it too exaggerated?

Rachel Weisz smiled sheepishly and scratched her head, "That's not true, I guessed it myself, last night HBO showed a movie, it's so boring! If things go on like this, HBO will be defeated by Starz sooner or later."

Catherine Zeta Jones nodded, "That's right, Twain...he is so good at everything. By the way, is Twain here today?"

"I don't know." Rachel Weisz shrugged indifferently, "But I guess not, he is so busy, even if he is a producer, he won't hang out with us all the time."

Well, very busy indeed!

Now Tang En has flown to New York again.

"Spider-Man 2" was launched in May, and it has been filming for more than 3 months. If there is no accident, it will be completed by the end of August.

As Tang En Pictures' flagship project, "Spider-Man 2" naturally attracted a lot of attention from top to bottom.

Even the president of Marvel Studios, Nina Jacobson, personally served as an executive producer. She joined the team from the day it started, and has been with her all the time, trying to create the best conditions for director Ridley Scott. The filming of "Spider-Man 2" is going smoothly.

As for "Daredevil" in charge of Nolan... anyway, the script has not been finalized yet, let them work on it themselves!

Tang En was named as the first producer of "Spider-Man 2", but he had never been on the set. This caused a lot of complaints and complaints from the crew's creators. Seeing that the movie was about to be finished, Tang En had no choice but to I can come here.

It can't be like "Pirate Alliance: The Curse of the Black Pearl" directed by Tim Burton, from the start to the finale, the producer Twain has never been present, right?

As a producer, he is of course unqualified and very irresponsible. But he was named not because of some fame, but because the name "Dawn Walker" is now a guarantee of box office!

He is using his fame and influence to stand for the movie.

He was not named, and Tang En Pictures' executives were the first to disagree.

More importantly, "Mirror Mirror Possession" has a cumulative global box office of 1 billion US dollars, not only the director's film, but also the producers and stars.

Of course, Tang En would not let go of this opportunity to "scrub the data".

Coming to the crew of "Spider-Man 2", Tang En silently watched Ridley Scott's way of directing the play, laughing again and again.

"Perfect! James, your expressions just now are very good, especially the movement of the corners of your mouth, which is very brilliant. Let's take another shot!"

5 minutes later.

"Wonderful! James, the look in your eyes just now is very powerful, this is the charm of a superhero, hold on, let's do another one!"

5 minutes later.

"Great! James, your body movements just now were very smooth, and your physical condition is no less than that of a stand-in. Keep this state and do it again!"

20 minutes later...

"Well, this one is over, change to another group!"

After tossing and tossing James Franco six or seven times, Ridley Scott was finally satisfied. Then he stood up from the director's position, waved his hand, directed the crew, and prepared for the next lens.

Tang En watched from the side, and since he laughed, he shook his head again.

This old British man is really a good guy, and his filming style in the crew is also so unique.

It is conceivable that James Franco's substandard performance just now, if it were replaced by Cameron, he would have scolded him bloody.

Ridley Scott was able to hold back his temper, and calmly pointed out his advantages one by one to hint at other shortcomings.

It's no wonder that he has made so many movies that failed at the box office, and he can still thrive in Hollywood. Personal character plays a key role.

Tang En's appearance did not affect the filming of the crew, he just chatted with Nina Jacobsen for a while, "Is the budget sufficient?"

Nina Jacobson said: "I have worked with so many directors, and Director Scott is the director with the most harmonious cooperation. His control of the budget is strictly beyond imagination."

Tang En smiled, "So, he and James Cameron are completely different types."

Nina Jacobson said seriously: "I don't think he is worse than Cameron!"

Tang En opened his mouth, but hesitated to speak. He had a deeper understanding of Ridley Scott's relationship, "What about the advertisement? No problem?"

Nina Jacobson hesitated, "He's British, and we've got so many commercials, he's complaining a lot."

Tang En said: "Rigid advertisements, of course not. The advertisements should be added in a natural and natural way. If it can be full of artistic sense, it will be the best."

Nina Jacobson smiled and said, "Don't worry, everything is settled. When you, a big producer, take care of it, the film will have to be filmed next year!"

This is the advantage of female employees. They have psychological advantages. Sometimes they dare to directly insult Tang En, the big boss, but he doesn't care.

Tang En is not worried about the supporting roles and actresses. What he is worried about is James Franco, the "Spiderman".

Especially in the scene just now, the level of acting... is obviously not what he should be.

Nina Jacobson hesitated for a moment, then frowned, "This kid has a mentality problem!"

Tang En's face suddenly pulled, gloomy as water.

Sure enough!
