Heads Up Hollywood

The Avengers is out.

Even though there are "Daredevil 2" and "Pirate Alliance 3" hot summer files ahead, everyone understands that the real protagonist of this summer file...is "The Avengers"!

The box office in advance was 16.4 million US dollars!

Breaking the early box office record held by "Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace"!

It was released on the first day, and the box office in North America was 80.81 million US dollars!

Breaking the single-day box office record just created by "Pirate Alliance 3: At World's End"!

In the following two days, "The Alliance of Vengeance" took another $69.58 million and $57.07 million at the box office, and the first week's box office was $224 million!

Break the record again!

Overseas markets also showed an unstoppable momentum, contributing 287 million US dollars!

Prior to this, "Pirate League 3" had just set a new global first-week box office record with 410 million US dollars.

Now, a month later, a new record was born again, $500 million!

"The Avengers" seems to come with a mission, specifically to break the box office records of all movies throughout the ages!

The box office broke 500 million U.S. dollars in the first week. This is really an indescribable gesture. It looks down on Hollywood and stands out from the crowd!

When the global box office of "Pirate Alliance 3" exceeded 1 billion US dollars, there is no doubt that the global box office of "The Avengers" will also exceed 1 billion US dollars!

Even... it is no longer the shackles of 1 billion US dollars.

Maybe it can break the box office record held by "Titanic".

As far as the current momentum is concerned, this possibility is not impossible!

A lot of entertainment media have even started to clamor wildly, touting that "The Avengers" will defeat "Titanic" and become the highest-grossing movie in movie history!

After all, the box office of 500 million US dollars in the first week is really shocking.

Amidst the fanatical advocacy, Tang En remained sober.

In the final analysis, "The Avengers" is just a funny and humorous family film, and there is nothing to touch the soul, let alone "Titanic", which is more emotional than love. In the field of superhero movies, it can't even On a par with Nolan's Daredevil 2.

The depth of thought determines the long-term box office of a movie.

Movies with good long-term box office have always been Oscar-level movies.

A popcorn movie like "The Avengers" can at most make a short-term profit. It is difficult to break the box office record of "Titanic"!

If it makes $1.5 billion at the box office, it's a big success.

Compared to everyone's focus on "The Avengers", Twain seemed very calm, and his focus was on another movie - "The Devil Wears Prada".

The film was released on June 30 and also achieved good results.

Released in the first week, the box office was 29 million U.S. dollars, surpassing "Break Up Men and Women" and "Pirate Alliance 3", ranking first in the weekly box office list. It was released the next week, with a weekly box office of 35 million US dollars, second only to "The Avengers", ranking second on the list.

Two weeks later, "The Devil Wears Prada" has grossed $64 million in North America and $55 million overseas.

Although it cannot be compared with commercial blockbusters such as "Pirate Alliance 3" and "Avengers", such box office results are not high.

But relative to its $35 million production cost, the North American box office of $64 million is already gratifying enough.

According to the current box office trend, the North American box office of "The Devil Wears Prada" can be between 120 and 140 million US dollars, and the overseas box office is also around 150 million US dollars.

In terms of investment-output ratio, the estimated $280 million box office of The Devil Wears Prada is equivalent to the $1.75 billion box office of The Avengers.

It has been very successful!

In particular, the joint marketing of "The Devil Wears Prada" and Prada has boosted the popularity of luxury goods, especially in Korea and Japan. In the past two weeks, sales have surged by 750%!

The fashion industry is also a core topic that Dunn is very concerned about.

In the future world, the only thing that can compete with the Internet... probably is the fashion industry.

In the ranking of the world's richest man, apart from Internet tycoons, that is, Zara's big boss Amancio Ortega and LV's big boss Bernard Arnault can be on the list. The latter is the second super rich man worth over $100 billion after Amazon's Bezos.

Prada is the pinnacle of the new global fashion industry layout and plays a vital role. Tang En is very concerned about it.

He even attended an exhibition of Prada products in person.

Outside of work, there is no shortage of beauties to accompany.

Because of "The Devil Wears Prada", Anne Hathaway signed a contract with Prada and became the spokesperson of the product. However, Prada's spokesperson is not limited to Anne Hathaway.

Prada is a world-class luxury brand and also has its own fashion week exhibition.

When there is a fashion week, there are naturally exclusive contracted models.

On this day, Tang En saw one.

Speaking of which, there is also some special fate, the other party is an Australian.

Invisibly, this shortened the distance between the two parties a lot.

Australians struggling in the American entertainment and fashion circles all understand that Dunn Walker is their big backer.

From the earlier Nicole Kidman and Mel Gibson to the current Rose Byrne and Miranda Kerr, they are all inextricably linked with Twain.

"Twain, this is Gemma, Gemma Ward, a particularly powerful Australian model!" Anne Hathaway was in the middle, becoming the introducer between Tang En and Gemma Ward.

"Hi, Tang En, nice to meet you."

Gemma Ward is not yet 19 years old this year. With a round face, not sharp facial lines, soft features, and slightly wide eye distance, she looks a little childish without any sense of aggression.

Tang En had seen too many supermodel faces with high cheekbones, and when he saw this kind and lovely baby face, he liked it even more.

"Gemma? You are so beautiful!" Tang En's eyes lit up, and he admired him sincerely.

Gemma Ward didn't act excessively in front of big shots, showing a maturity that didn't match her age, and smiled slightly, "Thank you."

Anne Hathaway had been with Tang En for many years, and she could see something from his eyes. She suggested with a smile to go to the dressing room at the back for a chat. There were too many people here, and it was inconvenient to speak.

Gemma Ward blinked her eyes a few times, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and nodded with a smile, "Okay!"

"Gemma, do you know Miranda?"

"Miranda Kerr?"

"Yes."

"Well, I've heard of it."

Gemma Ward nodded.

Miranda Kerr has been on the Victoria's Secret stage, and the public's popularity is very high.

But within the modeling world, Miranda Kerr is no match for Gemma Ward. Gemma Ward has been on the cover of "Vogue" magazines from all over the world dozens of times, and now she is still the exclusive model of Prada and Miu Miu. She is taking the "art" route of Fashion Week, which is better than Victoria's Secret. The "commercial route" must be high.

Gemma Ward and Miranda Kerr are both babyfaces.

But in the industry, it is said that Gemma Ward is the originator of "Babyface", and Miranda Kerr... is not far behind.

When Tang En went to the backstage dressing room, he felt that this Gemma Ward was very good, with a delicate face, refined temperament, and a sense of ethereal construction.

"I think you look like Miranda."

"Me?" Gemma Ward shook her head, "No, we are different."

It seemed that Tang En was dissatisfied with juxtaposing her with Miranda Kerr. She is the most professional model, unlike Miranda Kerr, who is a figurehead.

Tang En smiled, "I think it's pretty much the same, they all have baby faces, they're all so pretty, and they're all so charming."

When he came to the dressing room, Tang En spoke more directly, with a strong aggressiveness of a man.

Gemma Ward moved her chair over for Twain to sit in, and let Anne Hathaway sit in the assistant's chair, while she leaned against the dressing table, brushing the broken hair by her ears, seemingly carelessly Said: "I heard...you are Miranda's benefactor, is this true?"

Tang En didn't care, "Forget it."

"You helped her enter the Victoria's Secret show?"

"yes."

"oh……"

Gemma Wardla made a long sound, then took a deep look at Tang En, and said, "I don't need it. And my figure...is not suitable for Victoria's Secret."

Victoria's Secret is a lingerie brand, and the required models... must have a big figure, especially the upper circumference.

Gemma Ward belongs to that kind of typical traditional supermodel, who excels in temperament, and her career line is not outstanding, so she cannot be an underwear model.

Tang En gave her a deep look, "Are you refusing?"

Gemma Ward couldn't help but almost laughed, pursed her lips and said, "What do you mean? Mr. Walker, I don't understand."

Anne Hathaway next to her kept giggling and winking at Tang En jokingly, "It's over, now we've hit a hard nail."

Tang En glared at her angrily, "Get out!"

"Ah? Why?" Anne Hathaway was very wronged.

Tang En said: "Go out and watch the door for me, don't let other people approach."

Only then did Anne Hathaway suddenly understand, and her expressions played on the faces of Tang En and Gemma Ward playfully, and said with a coquettish smile, "Then I wish you a happy day." Then she cast a look at Gemma Ward , "Gemma, it's up to you!"

After Anne Hathaway left, Gemma Ward laughed softly and said, "Twain, you won't be violent to me, are you? I heard that big shots like you don't have a good temper."

"How is it possible!" Tang En couldn't laugh or cry, and shook his head again and again, "In my capacity, which woman do you think you fall in love with, and you don't come at the beck and call?"

Neither side is good.

Tang En is an old world who loves flowers, and Gemma Ward is a top supermodel who has worked hard in the modeling circle and succeeded in becoming a top model. There are some things that don't need to be said clearly, a look is enough.

For a busy person like Tang En, would he come to the backstage dressing room to chat?

Or with a powerless model like her?

impossible!

The biggest reason was that she was good-looking, and Tang En fell in love with her.

However, Gemma Ward still shook her head and said, "I'm not that kind of woman."

"Yeah?"

Tang En asked back with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Gemma Ward bit her lip, sighed softly, and asked, "By the way, besides Miranda Kerr, you have many female companions, right?"

"Well, a dozen or so, not too many. Two more have left recently, and a big house has been vacated. If you like, you can move here." Tang En sent out the invitation in due course, and the Cruz sisters left, King's Landing Villa No. 2 is also vacant.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Walker." Gemma Ward refused apologetically, "I don't want to be a man's vassal, I want my own pursuit."

"Yeah?"

Tang En smiled.

There is really no credibility for such words. It is estimated that her current career has reached its peak, and she feels that Tang En is not of much help to her.

Gemma Ward thought for a while, and then said, "By the way, I have also made a movie."

"oh?"

"It's true. It's called "Pink Pajamas". It's an Australian movie. I play a small role."

Tang En smiled, "If you want, you can act in some Hollywood movies, your image and temperament are very good."

"Can I?" Gemma Ward's eyes lit up.

Tang En said: "Of course, just like Gisele Bundchen. Of course, there are also some small roles. After all, this is not your specialty."

Gemma Ward has a lot of disdain for Miranda Kerr, but she respects Gisele Bundchen, a big idol in the modeling world.

"Is there anything I need to do?"

"You know, you're charming and heart-warming."

Gemma Ward pursed her lips and smiled, "Mr. Walker, as I said, I will not live in your house like Miranda, use your servants, spend your money, I can support myself .”

"Then what do you want?" Tang En frowned.

Gemma Ward said: "I come to Los Angeles once or twice a month...or two or three times, because of work requirements. If...you want to see me, you can ask me out."

"Yes." Tang En pondered for a while, then nodded, "That's fine too."

Gemma Ward smiled coquettishly, "Thank you for your size."

"And now?"

"Now?"

"Annie is watching outside."

Gemma Ward's face was slightly red, and she gave Tang En a coquettish wink. The flaming red lips seemed to be on fire, as if they were going to swallow Tang En and burn them up.

...

Anne Hathaway was assigned a task by Tang En to watch the door outside.

Several of his assistants and staff were expelled.

Then I found a chair and sat down at the door, counting the time to see how long it would take Tang En to succeed.

In his opinion, even if Gemma Ward was unwilling, with Tang En's means and strength, he would definitely be able to get it done in less than half an hour!

They are all women, who doesn't understand who?

In front of a man like Tang En, no one could resist!

It's as if Marilyn Monroe offered an invitation, and no man can refuse.

Unexpectedly, after only five or six minutes, a strange sound came from the dressing room.

Close the door and listen, it really is!

"Isn't this efficiency too high? Awesome!"

Anne Hathaway twitched the corners of her mouth, deeply impressed by Tang En's methods.

Back then, when she hooked up with Tang En, she wasn't as efficient.

To put it bluntly, at that time, Tang En was managing Tang En Pictures, and the company was not as big as it is now, and there was enough time to manage the relationship between the two parties, so they could take their time.

It's different now. Tang En is too busy. He can only spare a little time after work to engage in some entertainment and recreational activities. He must improve his efficiency and finish things quickly. After all, there are other things to be busy with!

No time to waste too much time on a woman!

Thinking about it this way, Anne Hathaway couldn't help but feel a sense of superiority. Her treatment was much better than that of Gemma Ward.
