Heads Up Hollywood

The new week brings four more box-office contenders -- Universal's "The Grinch," Paramount's "Grinch," Sony's "Sixth Day" and Miramax's "Fate is You".

"It's You" is a romance film starring Ben Affleck and Gwyneth Paltrow, with a cost of 35 million US dollars and a scale of 1,918 theaters.

There is no way, the curtain of the Christmas file has been opened, and major studios are attacking one after another. No matter how powerful Harvey Weinstein is, it will be difficult to fight for more for "It's You" in such a deadlocked situation. Large opening scale.

In contrast, "Saw", which has been in a diving state until then, has become popular after half a month's accumulation. The scale of screenings in 2,674 theaters is not comparable to that of "The Grinch" and "The Grinch". Commercial blockbusters such as Charlie's Angels 1" and "The Sixth Day" are definitely leading the way among non-mainstream commercial films.

Even, Twain is confident that even though the screening scale of "Saw" is still not comparable to commercial blockbusters, in terms of box office competition, "Saw" will not be afraid of any rivals in the same period!

On November 13, "Chain Saw" earned $2.11 million at the box office;

On November 14, "Chain Saw" was successfully released in the UK, the first overseas region, and the North American box office has accumulated more than 15 million US dollars!

There is no doubt that this winter, this small-budget B-grade movie will set off a strong counterattack!

It's a revival of the golden age of 70's B-movies!

...

On November 15th, Twain appeared in New York again, this time not on a university campus, but at this year's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.

Accompanied by her was not a voluptuous beauty like Alessandra Ambrosio, but a delicate little girl like a porcelain doll, Taylor Swift.

The little girl was very happy, chattering non-stop, but she was very smart, when Tang En saw acquaintances, she would always keep her mouth shut.

Victoria's Secret's catwalks have already become famous in the fashion circle. Even if they can't compare with the pride of New York Fashion Week and Paris Fashion Week in the circle, with the shining words "underwear" and "supermodel", Victoria's Secret's big show It can even attract more attention.

Around the catwalk, Tang En saw many familiar faces, including many Hollywood stars, and several Wall Street investors.

Especially there are a few old men in their sixties and seventies, who are really old-hearted.

"Do you want to go backstage and have a look?" Tang En whispered in Little Taylor's ear.

"Okay, okay!" Little Taylor happily clapped his little palms, then quickly tugged at Tang En's sleeves, and glanced at him playfully, "You can go and see the big beauty change her clothes!"

Tang En was both angry and funny, and said with a straight face: "Don't talk nonsense!"

The two got up and left. At this moment, a faint voice came from beside them, "Director Walker..."

The voice was familiar. Tang En turned his head and immediately raised his brows. Two people walked towards him—Ben Affleck and Gwyneth Paltrow.

The two looked very familiar, holding arms intimately and interlocking their fingers, like a couple in love.

"Oh, Ben! Hi, Gwen, you look beautiful today." Tang En praised publicly.

Tang En didn't have a good impression of these two people in front of him.

Gwyneth Paltrow is Harvey Weinstein's queen actress, not to mention Ben Affleck, which can be described as ungrateful.

"Thank you." Gwyneth Paltrow was very polite and restrained. She glanced at Little Taylor, hesitated for a moment, and still didn't say anything more.

Ben Affleck was obviously guilty, and his voice was weak, "Director Walker, what a coincidence, I met you here."

Tang En smiled, his tone no longer sarcasm, "Yeah, I thought I wouldn't be able to see you until "Pearl Harbor" was released."

Ben Affleck is embarrassed.

Tang En didn't care much, he was just a young actor, so what if he completely turned his back on him? Besides, with Ben Affleck's character of sitting on the fence between Dunn Films and Disney, at most he can play prestige in front of small people, but he can only pretend to be a grandson in front of big people.

Gwyneth Paltrow forced a smile on her face, "Director, you are a big shot, we..."

Tang En waved his hands and said with a smile: "By the way, you... are you in love?"

Ben Affleck hurriedly said: "No, this is the arrangement of the publisher, to cooperate with the promotion of "It's You"."

Tang En suddenly realized that relying on celebrities' gossip and hype is indeed a tried and tested method of publicity.

"That's fine, you can do whatever you want, I still have something to do." Tang En nodded, waved his hand casually, pulled little Taylor, turned around and left.

Facing this kind of Hollywood starlet, Tang En didn't need to have too many taboos at all, the upper-level power decided everything.

To put it bluntly, don't look at Tang En's quarrel with Disney and Miramax, but once he wants to sanction Ben Affleck, Disney can't stop him.

It's just not necessary, Tang En wouldn't care about such a small person, leaving a bad name of domineering and domineering.

Looking back at Ben Alec and Gwyneth Paltrow, who were exhaling a long time, Little Taylor tugged at Dun En, and asked softly, "Twain, aren't they a couple?"

"Um."

"But why are they so close? Didn't you say that girls should respect themselves and not flirt with boys casually?"

Tang En had a headache, "They are actors, uh...acting."

It was difficult for little Taylor to understand, "But this is not a studio?"

Tang En had no choice but to say, "That woman is not good, so don't learn from her."

"Oh." Little Taylor nodded half-understanding, "Girls can't hold hands with boys at will, right?"

Tang En said: "Well, apart from your father, only your future husband can treat you like that. This is a good girl. Look at Sister Natalie, when did she get close to other boys?"

"Isn't it okay to film?"

"Of course not! You can use a stand-in or a borrowed seat for filming... Forget it, you are still young and don't understand these things, just remember what I just said."

Little Taylor had a bitter face, frowned, looked at his little hand tightly held by Tang En, his delicate face was full of sorrow, and muttered to himself: "What can I do..."

The backstage of Victoria's Secret has very strict checks, and non-staff members are not allowed to enter.

But Tang En was an exception. He had already contacted L Brands and obtained a license.

Seeing Tang En appear, staff immediately came to greet him. He was a feminine man, annoying.

"What are they doing?"

"Oh, they're making sideshows, hehe, it will be made into a video in the future, and it will be broadcast on TV in December."

Tang En's face darkened, "Tell them, don't shoot me!"

"ah?"

"did not hear?"

"Oh, oh...Okay, I'll go right away!"

Of course Tang En would not be polite.

Victoria's Secret's parent company, LBrands, currently has a market capitalization of less than 2 billion US dollars. A few days ago, when I heard that Tang En was going to visit the backstage of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, the company's CEO showed up in person and said a lot of good things. On the pass.

LBrands' fame depends on Victoria's Secret, and Victoria's Secret's fame depends on supermodels, and supermodels... can only be regarded as the "periphery" of Hollywood.

The status gap is too big!

After walking around the background, Tang En immediately saw an old acquaintance——Leonardo Ricaprio!

"Leon?" Dunn was a little surprised, his attitude was completely opposite to when he saw Ben Affleck just now, "What are you doing standing here?"

Leonardo's eyes lit up, and he ignored Tang En. He squatted down and winked teasingly at Little Taylor, and said with a smile, "Little baby, are you also a Victoria's Secret model?"

Little Taylor rolled her eyes and snorted coquettishly: "I'm not going to be a model, Tang En said, models are fools, I want to be a singer!"

"Haha, have ambition!"

Leonardo was pouted, he touched his nose in embarrassment, and then looked at Tang En vigilantly, "This is the locker room."

"locker room?"

Tang En's heart became hot, his eyes sparkled, and his interest soared.

Of course he knows that supermodels are different from wild models, and it is impossible for them to change clothes in full view like those 18th-tier models. But he is different, he is Tang En!

Just ask those angel supermodels who are eager to try Hollywood, who can refuse him?

Leonardo stopped Tang En like a guard, "Don't move! I'll say it again, this is the locker room!"

Tang En chuckled, covered little Taylor's ears, and lowered his voice, "Leon, stop pretending! Let's go in and see the world!"

"Get out!" Leonardo pushed him angrily, gritted his teeth and said, "Tang En, Giselle is changing inside!"

"ah?"

Tang En was slightly taken aback, then laughed out loud.

No wonder Leonardo is so cautious and guards the gate himself, this is for his girlfriend Gisele Bundchen.

Tang En leaned over, whispered a few words in Little Taylor's ear, and then looked at Leonardo with a smile, "It's okay to let her in, right?"

Leonardo had no choice but to let go.

Tang En chuckled, with a playful expression on his face, "Leon, this is Victoria's Secret's dressing room. The scenery inside... Hehe, it's definitely more exciting than the striptease at your nightclub!"

Leonardo's face turned green, "What's the point of being wonderful? It's no wonder Giselle doesn't lose her temper with me!"

Tang En shrugged his shoulders, with a smug look on his face, "Then there is no other way, hehe, the scenery is unique, and I can only enjoy it by myself."

"I said, Giselle is inside!" Leonardo frowned, very displeased, "Tang En, she is my girlfriend, she is different from other girls, you have to respect her! "

Tang En patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, a friend's wife should not be bullied. I still understand this truth."

"Um?"

Leonardo looked suspicious.

At this time, the door of the dressing room was pushed open, revealing little Taylor's sneaky and excited face, "Twain, come quickly! There are many angels changing clothes inside!"

Leonardo almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

Who did this little girl learn from?

Tang En laughed loudly, "Has Gisele Bundchen finished changing?"

"It's over, come quickly!"

Little Taylor quickly waved to Tang En, bouncing around very actively.

Tang En suppressed a smile, "Leon, then I won't be polite, will you stand here for a while longer?"

"Um!"

Leonardo snorted heavily, his face was uglier than crying.
