Heads Up Hollywood

Tang En said lightly: "Isn't "Girls Club" released on August 4th? Humph, it is naturally impossible to adjust the schedule of our movie, but don't forget, the movie released on this day, as well as Sony's "Transparent Man and Devil and Warner's Space Cowboy!"

"Our family?"

Hearing this word, Natalie's mind was dizzy, a little shy, and a little sweet.

"What are you thinking? Are you stupid?" Tang En pushed her.

Natalie patted him on the arm angrily, "You are stupid, I just... By the way, you mean to help promote the two films "Transparent Man" and "Space Cowboy", and use other people's hands to suppress " Girls Club?"

Tang En said: "That's what it means. Tang En Pictures and Sony have no feud, but they have no friendship. Through this incident, they can sell their favor. Moreover, the cost of "Transparent Demon" is as high as 95 million US dollars, and the early publicity is also good. It has a certain appeal.”

Natalie nodded, and said thoughtfully: ""Space Cowboy"...the appeal is even greater. Mr. Eastwood directed and acted in the work himself, and old actor Tommy Jones joined in."

"So, the competition for the release period doesn't have to be as bad as June." Tang En stretched himself, lay down on the bed, and said carelessly, "Director Clint Eastwood is unique, but This old man is a western cowboy with a tough and loyal style. Hey, what would he do if I sold his face?"

Natalie curled her lips and said, "You want him to join Tang En Pictures? Impossible, he and Warner are hardcore, put away your little favors."

Tang En said with a bitter face: "Honey, I'm really sad when you say that. Do you think I'm doing it for Tang En Pictures?"

"Is not it?"

"Although Dunn Pictures is not comparable to Warner, it has also cooperated with famous directors such as Tim Burton, James Cameron, Ann Lee, Sam Mendes, and Luc Besson. Clint Eastwood is indeed excellent, but Tang En Pictures does not lack him!"

"Huh?" Natalie blinked quickly a few times.

Tang En glared at her, then stretched out his hand, pulled her into his arms, and kissed her tender face, "I'm here for you, little fool!"

Natalie looked at him in surprise, "Me?"

Tang En said: "Yeah, don't you like working with great directors? Eastwood is a great director. If I sell him this time, in the future... maybe you will have a chance to work together."

Natalie was sweet in her heart, but her mouth was unconvinced, and she snorted, "You can coax people, obviously you want to borrow a knife to kill people, and suppress Disney movies, as if you are doing all this for me."

Tang En suppressed a smile, and pretended to be helpless: "Forget it, since you don't want this opportunity...I'll give it to Nicole, or Kate, Charlie and the others..."

"you dare!"

Natalie flipped over and sat on Tang En's body at once. Seeing his ridiculous and joking appearance, she tickled him in embarrassment, and gritted her teeth, "You bastard, you hang out everywhere outside, and you're still angry at me when you get home. I will fight with you!"

"Haha~~~"

Tang En naturally refused to admit defeat and immediately launched a counterattack.

For a moment, the big bed swayed and laughter continued.

Soon, this cheerful laughter was mixed with other indescribable quick chants...

...

"What did you say? West went to work at Tang En Pictures?"

Tom Rothman's face suddenly changed when he heard the news from the secretary. The originally calm posture suddenly turned into a growl.

The secretary said weakly: "Yes, Mr. West Cotton was appointed as the vice president of Tang En Pictures, mainly responsible for strategic development, film marketing, brand promotion, etc., and..."

"And what?"

"And he also served as assistant to the CEO."

"Boom!"

The signature pen in Tom Rothman's hand fell straight onto the desk, which frightened the young female secretary's face.

The last time Tom Rothman lost his composure was when "Titan A.E." was crushed by "Spider-Man" at the box office.

"You go out first."

Tom Rothman waved his hands weakly, and heaved a long sigh.

He got up slowly and walked slowly to the window of the office with a heavy face.

"Titan A.E." failed at the box office, and West Cotton was expelled from Twentieth Century Fox as a scapegoat.

But the board of directors is not a fool. They may be aware of Tom Rothman's little tricks, and they chose to abandon the car to save the handsome just for the stability of the overall situation.

Tom Rothman even heard some rumors that the top executives of News Corporation were very dissatisfied with his recent actions. If he continued to mess up, he would definitely be ordered to step down as the controlling shareholder.

The name Dunn Walker instantly appeared in his mind.

Why is there always trouble between the two of them?

Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that Tom Rothman took the initiative every time, and Dunn always defended passively.

What's more, every time Tang En's passive defense, he can defend against it.

Recalling the happy cooperation between himself and Twain on the "Wedding Crashers" project at the turn of spring and summer last year, Tom Rothman felt very uncomfortable.

"Maybe... I underestimated him too much?"

Tom Rothman narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance.

Recently, he has been very dissatisfied with Disney's response, especially his old friend Joe Ruth, who actually tried to tear him down behind his back.

At the beginning, in order not to be held accountable by the board of directors, and in order to have a foreign aid, he did not dare to confront Joe Ruth. But now the situation has changed, the box office fiasco of "Titan A.E." has passed, and he can fight back boldly with confidence.

only……

Is it worth it for a little Don Walker?

Tom Rothman has a shrewd mind, especially when dealing with interpersonal relationships, he has clever means and a lot of dark hands. It is this kind of advantage that allowed him to manage carefully at 20th Century Fox, rise all the way, and become today's CEO.

For him, interests are far more important than friendship, and friendship is far more important than face!

So in Tom Rothman's view, choosing to resolve conflicts with Twain is not a problem at all. The difficulty is how to face Disney?

Although Tang En has been very popular and developed rapidly in the past few years, he is only a 22-year-old young man, and he has only been in the industry for 4 years. Even if Disney loses money ten or twenty times in a row, it's still Disney, the mighty Disney!

Tom Rothman returned to the sofa and sat down, lit a cigar, smoked slowly, and thought hard.

"In any case, Disney cannot be offended!"

Soon, he made his first decision.

Tang En Pictures is developing fast, but even if it maintains the current speed of development, it will be difficult to catch up with Disney's current scale and influence without more than ten or twenty years of accumulation.

"But Twain...is a potential stock, it would be unwise to go head-to-head with him."

Tom Rothman shook his head, thinking that the resources and connections he had invested in Tang En in the past three months or so were really a huge waste.

Isn't it just that Tang En Pictures recruited Bill McNick and a group of former 20th Century Fox officials? What's the big deal?

Above the market, profit comes first.

Don't look at friendship, don't talk about personal enmity, this is a qualified businessman!

Tom Rothman pondered for a long time, but he really couldn't figure out what kind of deep hatred existed between him and Tang En. Is it really necessary to create such an unstoppable competitive situation?

Recalling the fierce competition between the three blockbuster films "Spider-Man", "Sixty Seconds", and "Titan A.E." released at the end of June, the loss outweighed the gain. The three Hollywood film companies got into a mess, which not only made outsiders laugh, but also accounted for it. Went for a great deal.

"Chicken Run" produced by the British Aardman Animation Studio has a chance to survive in the cracks. So far, "Chicken Run" has earned a box office of 67.8 million US dollars in North America and more than 73 million overseas. box office in dollars.

The total box office data exceeds 140 million US dollars, surpassing the sum of the box office of "Sixty Seconds" and "Titan A.E."!

And this movie cost only $45 million!

Here, Dunn Films, Fox, and Disney are making a big fuss, and "Chicken Run" is secretly making a fortune. Maybe "Spiderman", which has a global box office of nearly 1.1 billion US dollars, doesn't care, but Tom Rothman cares very much.

It was a joke by the nasty Brit!

"Come on!"

Tom Rothman suddenly slapped the sofa, shouted, called the secretary back, and ordered: "In my name, send an email to West Cotton... oh no, send a greeting card, just Say I congratulate him on his new job!"
