Heads Up Hollywood

There are already more than 2,000 stars on the Avenue of Stars, and one or two new stars will be added every month. This tradition has lasted for more than 40 years.

Each star has undergone special treatment. It is a light red five-pointed star with a copper edge, with a name on it and a symbol symbolizing the identity of the character.

If it has made a great contribution to the field of television, the symbol of television will appear; if it is the film industry, it will be the video camera.

Others include the gramophone symbol, denoting contributions to the recording industry; masks, denoting contributions to theatrical performances, and radio microphones, denoting the broadcasting industry.

But in this day and age, there are fewer and fewer artists staying here, and they are mainly Hollywood stars who want to make a name for themselves everywhere.

Taking photos with the stars is almost an inevitable choice for every visitor to the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Yu Aoi, Masami Nagasawa and others are no exception.

They happily looked for the five-pointed star of each familiar star, and then rushed forward, asking Tang En to take pictures for them.

Take a photo with Tang En?

This is unnecessary.

The current Twain has undergone makeup, and he is no longer Twain.

"Wow! Jack Chen! Jack Chen, come and take a picture!"

Yui Aragaki saw a familiar name, and she was an Asian actor. She was very happy, and hurriedly called the sisters over to take pictures together.

"Odo-chan, are there any Japanese stars here?" After taking the photo, Yu Aoi couldn't help asking.

Tang En curled his lips, he really didn't know very well, "I only know that there is a Godzilla star over there, so it should be Japanese, right?"

"Godzilla! I'm not talking about monsters!"

Yu Aoi chuckled, then shook his fist in protest.

"Wow! Marlon Brando! I like her the most, come quickly!" On the other side, Nagasawa Masami made another discovery and greeted everyone happily.

Tang En could only follow quickly.

There are too many tourists here, and these five beautiful girls are too beautiful, which has attracted many people's attention.

Fortunately, Tang En disguised himself as a wretched man, so not many people noticed.

However, Tang En still signaled to the plainclothes bodyguards around with his eyes, always be vigilant.

Although this is the most prosperous Hollywood, Asian faces are the most vulnerable group to be bullied.

After a while of laughing and joking about taking pictures, I finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked a crucial question.

"Oudou sauce, where is your star?"

"Yeah, where's your star?"

"Hmm! We're going to take a group photo!"

...

The girls chatted a lot, Tang En quickly silenced them, shook his head and said, "I didn't leave a star."

"No? How is it possible!"

The girls were taken aback.

He is Dunn Walker!

The most powerful giant in the entertainment industry in the world!

His name should stay here and be passed down forever, right?

Tang En smiled and explained: "Don't tell me, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce did contact me a few times and wanted me to put my name here, but I refused."

"Refused? Why?"

These girls, who have never seen the world, said it was difficult to understand.

Tang En said: "These five-pointed stars are actually an industry. It is jointly managed by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce and the Hollywood Historical Trust Fund, and a Walk of Fame committee is formed. Every year they select a group of awardees, that is, they are eligible to be on the Walk of Fame A famous star. However, there are strings attached."

"Each awardee has to pay 15,000 US dollars as the cost of the production and safety maintenance of the five-pointed star. This money is nothing, but the trouble is another condition. The awardee must participate in the competition within five years after leaving his name. The annual awards show. That sucks, who has time for little events like that during the time of awards season?"

"So, many big figures who are too busy with work or are not interested in it refuse to leave their names here. Not only me, such as Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, but also the popular Leonardo Di Caprio, Angelina Jolie, did not leave a name. Cameron, Lucas, Coppola and other major directors also did not leave a name."

This explanation can be said to be very comprehensive.

The girls understood and nodded.

I am not so interested in these dazzling little stars all over the ground.

It turned out that none of the top big shots came to participate in this name-keeping game.

Only those retired or past celebrities who have plenty of time will come here to leave their names with great fanfare. Great artists speak more by their works than by such little tricks.

Next, is the Chinese Theater.

The so-called Chinese theater is indeed full of Chinese characteristics. However, after nearly a hundred years of evolution, except for a pair of stone lions at the door, the Chinese style has changed too much, and it is very unauthentic.

However, the name and footprints of John Wu at the door are more eye-catching.

Next, another group photo.

John Wu's reputation is huge in Japan, especially the historical masterpiece "Red Cliff" that is being prepared, and Japan's attention to it is even higher than that of the three places on the Taiwan Strait.

The derivative value created by the culture of the Three Kingdoms in Japan every year is more than twice that of the three places on the Taiwan Strait combined.

After taking a group photo and then moving forward, it is the famous Kodak Theater.

This is where the Oscars are held.

There are a lot of tourists.

At the entrance of the Kodak Theater, there is a very spectacular fountain.

Tourists are taking pictures outside the fountain.

However, there were two Asian female tourists who didn't know what was wrong with their brains. Taking advantage of the intermittent period of the fountain, they rushed in directly, giggling and excited, and beckoned their companions to take pictures of them quickly .

The rest of the tourists looked at them with a very contemptuous look.

What if the fountain pipe is broken by stepping on it?

Aragaki Yui glanced at it, his face a little displeased.

Because after the two female tourists broke in, the other tourists looked at their group with strange eyes.

"They are definitely not Japanese, I'm sure!" Yui Aragaki said angrily.

Tang En's expression was solemn and his heart was even heavier. He waved his hands, "Let's go. We've finished watching the Avenue of Stars. Let's go to the Universal Studios ahead. That's my place, so let's relax."

Universal Pictures is in Universal Studios.

Tang En was really uncomfortable in this attire.

I went to Universal Pictures, so I have to take off my makeup quickly.

This thick clothes, but also a sweat.

After going to Universal Studios, everyone's playability was greatly reduced.

There is not much difference between Universal Studios in Los Angeles and Universal Studios in Osaka.

He simply went directly to the headquarters of Universal Pictures.

Tang En found a makeup artist to help him remove his makeup.

"By the way, you came just in time. I have something to report to you." Amy Pascal appeared in the dressing room at some point.

Tang En closed his eyes and asked casually, "What's the matter?"

"Warner Bros., Columbia Pictures, and Paramount have just signed a friendship and mutual assistance agreement for film distribution. In the future, the films of these three companies will be released as staggered as possible, especially for blockbuster films, to avoid competition at the box office."

"Is this legal?"

"This is not a bidding syndicate, and the legal department said it would be difficult to charge."

"I see." Tang En still closed his eyes and nodded slightly, "Who do you think Pushing Hand is?"

Amy Pascal said: "I don't think Mr. Burke is very likely. NBC Columbia Pictures has already made two offers to the USA TV network."

The corner of Tang En's mouth curled up, a little coldly, "That's Warner. Not to mention, it fits Barry Meyer's methods."
