Heads Up Hollywood

It's already the end of June, "Pirate League 3" is approaching the $1 billion box office, and "Daredevil 2" has also launched a new round of marketing campaigns, advancing towards the $1 billion mark.

Next up is The Avengers.

This summer, Tang En was too busy, and he didn't participate in the pre-promotion of "The Avengers".

Now, The Avengers is coming to theaters.

As the director of the film, Tang En had to participate in a wave of promotional activities no matter what.

In order to push "Daredevil 2" to $1 billion at the box office, the two films even launched a joint promotional wave.

Tang En's appearance naturally attracted unanimous cheers from the fans.

"Twain! Twain! Will Daredevil join the Avengers in the future?"

"Will do."

"When will "Daredevil 3" be released?"

"According to the plan, it should be in the summer vacation of 2009."

"Is there a fourth Spider-Man?"

"Maybe, maybe not. However, Spider-Man is still the core hero of Marvel Studios, and he will still run through the entire Marvel superhero series. Friends who have read comics must know that Spider-Man and Daredevil are Good friend. Maybe Spider-Man and Daredevil will have a series of interactions in the future."

"Didn't it say that Spider-Man and Deadpool will have a movie co-produced?"

"It's really in Marvel Studios' plans. It's not a short-term plan, though."

Attending the press conference with Twain were Kevin Feige, Robert Downey Jr., Christian Bale, Christopher Nolan, Paul Rudd, James Franco, Rose Byrne, Eric Barna, Jessica Chastain and others.

Everyone else, though, has had too much publicity.

Tang En, the world's richest man, made an appearance in person, which was a rare event, so fans and the media almost all asked questions about him.

Tang En also had a pleasant face and patiently answered every question.

Next, another reporter asked: "Twain! Excuse me... In "Ghost Rider 2", Daredevil will appear as a savior, saving Ghost Rider from the interference of the demon's soul, thus Is it true that we can withstand the destructive attack of the great devil on the earth?"

Tang En's complexion changed slightly.

This is a secret!

"Ghost Rider 2" is about to start filming, the director is Zack Schneider, and there is indeed this plot.

As a mortal, Daredevil, with super strong self-belief, resisted the shock of fear that even the gods could not resist, and awakened the ghost knight. This not only deepens the theme of "Ghost Rider 2", but also uses the strong reputation of "Daredevil 2" to promote the future market of "Ghost Rider 2".

That's the beauty of the series.

It can pave the way before and after to produce long-term and lasting marketing effects. After the amplification of the Matthew effect, it will become stronger and stronger.

But, how could this matter be known by the outside media?

Did the director leak the news, or did the actor leak the secret?

Or maybe Marvel Studios insiders didn't play by the rules?

This is an early spoiler, which is a taboo for commercial films!

Tang En took a deep look at Kevin Feiqi.

Kevin Feizi's face also flashed a touch of solemnity, and then he unfolded it gently, took over the topic, and said with a smile: ""Ghost Rider 2" has not yet started, and the specific plot direction... requires the screenwriter and directors to work together. Discuss. This year is the theme promotion meeting of "The Avengers", let's return to the theme."

...

The mainline development of "Ghost Rider 2" was confirmed as early as last year, and it was decided by Tang En himself. Now that the movie is about to start, the actors and crew are all ready, even if there are spoilers, it is impossible to change at this time.

All that can be done is to minimize the impact.

"This is not necessarily a bad thing. The word-of-mouth of "Daredevil 2" is too good. With the heroic image of Daredevil, it may be able to drive the market expectations of "Ghost Rider 2."

Came backstage, Kevin Feiqi was quite embarrassed, and hurriedly explained to Tang En.

Tang En snorted and said displeasedly: "Find out, what's going on!"

The actors and the main creators have confidentiality agreements, and it is forbidden to disclose the plot to the outside world. If the insiders of Marvel Pictures leaked the news, the nature would be even more serious.

Kevin Feiqi said seriously: "I'll definitely find out when I go back! No matter who it is, as long as it gets involved, it will be dealt with seriously."

Tang En waved his hand and walked towards Christopher Nolan.

It is not uncommon for every film company in Hollywood to leak news. I'm afraid that some competitors will infiltrate and make trouble, so we must investigate clearly.

In a place like Hollywood, it is not surprising that commercial espionage exists.

"Don't worry, even if I buy the box office with my own money, I will definitely push the global box office of "Daredevil 2" to 1 billion US dollars!" Tang En came to Nolan and said to him very kindly.

There are 6 directors with $1 billion box office in the world.

Don Walker, James Cameron, Peter Jackson, Ridley Scott, Sam Raimi and Gore Verbinski.

Except for Peter Jackson who entered the billion dollar box office club with the "Lord of the Rings" series, several other directors had the opportunity to aspire to the top level of commercial films because of Tang En's relationship.

Now, the global box office of "Daredevil 2" has reached 930 million U.S. dollars, and it is about to reach 1 billion U.S. dollars. How can this not make Nolan feel excited?

Hearing Tang En's assurance, Nolan felt a deep warmth in his heart.

In any case, his success in Hollywood is inseparable from Tang En's support and help.

He is Maxima, and Tang En is Bole!

People's hearts are fleshy, and Nolan was full of gratitude.

The relationship between Nolan and Zack Schneider is very good. The two families often have dinner together, and Tang En is mentioned every time. There is always a sense of gratitude that cannot be concealed between words.

Especially Zach Schneider, he was so grateful to Tang En.

Look at Michael Bay, who was in full swing back then, and then look at Zach Schneider, who is now popular in the industry.

The career development of the two alumni formed a stark contrast.

The reason behind it all came from one person—Dawn Walker!

"What's the next plan?" Tang En also saw something from Nolan's expression, and smiled slightly, not embarrassing him too much.

Nolan thought for a while, and said: "The schedule of "Daredevil 3" is the summer of 2009. According to the plan...the start of the summer of 2008 is enough. There are still two years, I want to make a novel first. Make, and do some experimental technique honing."

Tang En glanced at him, "Want to take the artistic route?"

"I don't have the talent for art films." Nolan shook his head and smiled, "But I want to work hard to get closer to that direction. No matter how good the reputation of "Daredevil 2" is, it is only a commercial film. Some time ago, there was a Some of the controversy, juxtaposing Daredevil 2 with The Godfather, really makes me guilty. I want to try to do my best."

No matter how good a commercial film is, it is only a commercial film and belongs to the category of mass entertainment.

As far as the film industry is concerned, only art films are truly high-quality.

This is why the European film industry generally despises Hollywood.

This is like the difference between online literature and serious literature.

No matter how well written online literature is, no matter how many readers it has, and no matter how much money it makes, it still cannot touch a toe of serious literature. This is entirely due to the gap in dimensions.

If you want to be truly respected by professionals in the industry, you must explore in the field of art.

For example, when it comes to film masters, people first think of a few theoretical guys from France, Germany, and the United Kingdom, and even Japan's Akira Kurosawa. But the Americans in Hollywood... there are really no big names worth mentioning, that is, Francis Coppola, who is also Italian. Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, Woody Allen and others are all inferior.

Of course Tang En couldn't meet the standards of a master. He had a good attitude and said with a smile: "I don't think it's necessary. The Oscars are not the same as the three major European film festivals. Oscars are not art awards, but industry awards. In my opinion , your current level...is enough. The distance between you and Oscar is only age."

"age?"

Nolan secretly smiled wryly.

He is several years older than Tang En.

But now Tang En has already received several major Oscar awards, even the best actor award. He didn't even get a nomination.

Tang En said: "You know porcelain, right? It originated from Jingdezhen, China, and it is the best. I saw a modern porcelain exhibition in Liverpool, and I was very impressed. Let's talk about plates. Because there are many exhibits, the plates have to be stacked. Plates produced in Germany are stacked one by one. Hundreds of plates are piled up to a height of six or seven meters, and they are all stable and will not shake. However, the plates produced in Jingdezhen are different. They are stacked two or three meters high, and they are wobbly. It's going to fall."

Nolan pondered for a while, and said, "The plates in Germany are produced industrially, but the plates in Jingdezhen are handmade?"

"That's right!" Tang En nodded, "If you want to win an Oscar, a crooked Jingdezhen porcelain plate is useless, you need to have this exact level of craftsmanship from Germany, and have this most basic look and feel. But If you want to win the European Film Festival award, you need Jingdezhen's handmade art, which is a restrained traditional art. A film like "Titanic" can win an Oscar, but it is impossible to win the Palme d'Or."

Nolan thought for a while, then smiled, "The three major film festivals have already declined, and together they are not as influential as the Oscars."

Tang En smiled and said, "That's right, so Oscar is the highest goal! In another hundred years, maybe the porcelain plates produced by German industry will also become antique works of art."

"It makes sense!"

Nolan was deeply inspired, and his face was a little rosy. He already knew the direction of his career development.

...

After leaving the conference site, Tang En didn't return directly to the company, but went to a high-end celebrity leisure club at the end of Sunset Boulevard.

There is a small matter to attend to.

Miranda Kerr was waiting there.

"I said, I have a man." Miranda Kerr was very helpless, sitting opposite her... was a big Hollywood star.

Very handsome, very charming.

Even in the past few years, he once overwhelmed Leonardo, Tom Cruise, George Clooney and others, ranking first in the list of the sexiest male stars in Hollywood!

He is Orlando Bloom.

After last year's Victoria's Secret show, Orlando Bloom took a fancy to Miranda Kerr and launched wave after wave of emotional offensives.

Miranda Kerr is dating Tang En, how dare she be half-hearted? She is not stupid, repeatedly refused.

Also because Tang En's influence was too great, Miranda Kerr didn't even dare to tell the other party that she was living with Tang En, so that Orlando Bloom thought she was deliberately perfunctory.

It lasted for more than half a year, and Miranda Kerr received a lot of gifts one after another, all from Orlando Bloom, worth... at least a hundred thousand dollars.

If Miranda Kerr was just a small model, if a gift of more than 100,000 US dollars was thrown at her, she would definitely faint, and if she was confused, she would obediently submit and fall into his arms.

But she was by Tang En's side, what precious gift hadn't she seen?

Not to mention anything else, the monthly pocket money alone is 300,000 US dollars!

Miranda Kerr really didn't like this little gift from Orlando Bloom!

Moreover, I feel more and more irritable.

After Tang En heard about this, he couldn't help but smile.

This is normal.

The women around him are all jeweled pearls, so it's not surprising that there are a group of suitors around him.

The suitors around little Taylor have at least one company, and they often show off to Tang En.

As long as Miranda Kerr doesn't do anything beyond the rules, Twain will allow it.

After all... At this time in the previous life, Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr were already in love, and a few years later, they were even married.

Twain wasn't that stingy either. When he got tired of playing, Miranda Kerr would go to whomever she liked, even if she married Orlando Bloom. He didn't want to interfere.

Unexpectedly, Miranda Kerr, who had been sleeping with Tang En for two years, had become more knowledgeable and broad-minded, and did not take Orlando Bloom, a Hollywood star, into her eyes at all.

I just wanted to call Tang En to drive away Orlando Bloom, a stalker.

Orlando Bloom was still full of confidence. Although the failure of the two blockbusters "Troy" and "Kingdom of Heaven" made his level drop a lot, the influence of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy is too great. His personal salary is still more than 10 million US dollars.

In his opinion, getting Miranda Kerr is not a trivial matter?

He is a big star in Hollywood!

But he didn't expect that when Miranda Kerr stood up like a baby swallow, and threw herself into the arms of the man who walked into the room with a smile, he was completely dumbfounded.

Eyeballs almost fell off.

Dawn Walker!

It turned out to be him!

Orlando Bloom was really freaking out.

No wonder Miranda Kerr has been ignoring her all the time, it turns out that she has found such a big benefactor!

God, why don't you tell me?

If she had said earlier that she was taken over by Tang En, and given him a hundred courage, he wouldn't dare to rob Tang En for a woman!

"Wo...Mr. Walker?" Orlando Bloom stood up in a panic, cold sweat streaming down directly.

Tang En hugged the beautiful woman in his arms and glanced at him, "Are you Orlando?"

"Yes, yes, I acted in The Lord of the Rings." Orlando Bloom wiped the sweat from his forehead, showing a smile uglier than crying.

Tang En nodded, and said lightly: "Miranda is with me now, so don't think about her."

"Know! Know!"

Orlando Bloom hurriedly wiped off his cold sweat again, "I know, it won't happen in the future."

Tang En nodded, put his arms around Miranda Kerr's slender waist, and walked away without looking back, leaving behind Miranda Kerr's melodious laughter like silver bells.
