Heads Up Hollywood

Oscars week is extraordinarily party-heavy!

Film companies, brokerage companies, media, fashion magazines, and related organizations will hold various forms of parties one after another. Some are celebration warm-ups, some are selling tickets to make money, some are film promotion and marketing, and some are It's purely for fun.

On the night of the Oscars, there were as many as ten parties.

There are three most famous ones - Oscar Official Party, Vanity Fair Party and Youjia Pictorial Party.

The Official Oscars Party, as the name suggests, is hosted by the Academy, where winners and nominees are invited to attend after the awards ceremony. However, Oscar is too old, and the atmosphere of the party...is very depressing, and everyone can't enjoy it. The stars' participation in this party is just a formality to express their gratitude to Oscar.

Show your face, and most people rush to the Vanity Fair party, which is the most important thing of the night!

The Vanity Fair Party is organized by "Vanity Fair" magazine, where fashion and art coexist.

And unlike the Oscars, the Vanity Fair party will invite many celebrities, wealthy businessmen and politicians who have nothing to do with movies to participate, and regardless of nationality, as long as the economy is strong and the social status is sufficient, they can participate.

This is also the reason why big stars like Vanity Fair parties, where they can make friends with the elites of the upper class.

When female stars walk on the red carpet of the Oscars, they must match the image of the Oscars. Their styles should not be too exaggerated, and their clothes should not be too revealing. But the red carpet of the Vanity Fair party is different. This is the key occasion for female stars to compete for beauty.

As for the Youjia Pictorial Party...it's a viewing party.

That is to say, this party will be held when the Oscar ceremony begins, and some stars and veteran filmmakers who did not participate in the Oscar ceremony will be invited to gather together to watch the Oscar award ceremony together.

In this process, there will also be a "guess the prize" link, according to the odds, a small bet for fun.

This is also a highlight of the Youjia Pictorial Party.

In addition to these three well-known parties, Oscar night, there are many parties, except for a few celebration parties, most of them are charity-themed parties.

After Dunn and Natalie left the official Oscar party, they went to a charity party related to AIDS. They stayed for 15 minutes and donated 300,000 US dollars. Then they hurried to the Sunset Tower Hotel in West Hollywood to attend the Vanity Fair party.

Tonight, Tang En won two statuettes, and Natalie got one statuette, which can be called a big winner.

When I arrived at the Vanity Fair party, I found that celebrities had already gathered here, and basically all the Oscar winners and nominees were present.

The two of them didn't even change their clothes. They were still wearing the same outfit they wore when they walked the Oscar red carpet. Natalie's long black dress was slightly conservative and inconspicuous among the many colorful female stars and models.

But that doesn't matter anymore.

People rely on clothes?

At Twain's level, there is no need to use external decorations to show his taste.

Even if he attends in casual attire, he is destined to be the focus of the whole party!

Not to mention Natalie, she is the Oscar queen tonight!

Significance!

Tang En rejected seven or eight people who came forward to cling to him in a row. This one, finally unable to refuse, was his bad friend——Leonardo DiCaprio.

"Wow, Nat, I didn't expect you to win the award! Where's the statuette?" Leonardo's eyes lit up.

Natalie smiled shyly, "It's put away."

Leonardo sighed, "When will I get the statuette?"

Not to mention the statuette, he hasn't even been nominated for an Oscar winner now.

Tang En said: "Aren't you cooperating with Tom Hanks in "How to Get Away with Law"? Don't be joking every day, learn acting from others."

Leonardo curled his lips disapprovingly, "When will my movie be released?"

"The Wind and Cloud in New York", which was originally planned to be released last year, has not yet been released due to the impact of the terrorist attack.

"Don't worry about it, this film...you can't get nominated." Tang En waved his hand and directly judged him.

Leonardo was quite disappointed.

At this time, another familiar face approached, "Tang En, Natalie, hehe, congratulations on winning the awards, oh, Leon is here too!"

"Thank you, Director Emmerich."

Naturally, Natalie couldn't be as casual as Tang En and Leonardo, bending slightly, smiling sweetly, elegant and peaceful.

Leonardo jokingly said, "Roland, your hair...it's not right, the box office of the few movies you made was pretty good, why are you so worried?"

Tang En also echoed, "Let's be young!"

Roland Emmerich smiled, "I'm still young, my age is the sum of your two ages."

It's past 11 o'clock now, and the whole party won't last too long, especially for a busy person like Tang En who doesn't have time to argue.

Roland Emmerich said bluntly: "Twain, your lecture at USC...I didn't go to listen to it, but I read the speech script. It's very good. I agree with your views on commercial films."

"Oh?" Tang En gave him a deep look, a little amused, "Didn't you have some good projects?"

Roland Emmerich said: "Indeed, I read a book called "The Coming Global Superstorm" some time ago, which was very inspiring. You said that now is the era of special effects, so I just want to make a film with full special effects Movie."

Tang En nodded, and he was basically sure that the other party's project was the famous masterpiece of a disaster movie - "The Day After Tomorrow".

"Can you go directly to Bill?"

Roland Emmerich and Bill McNick have a great relationship.

"The copyright of "The Coming Global Superstorm" is owned by Twentieth Century Fox, Bill..." Roland Emmerich shrugged, "You must come forward in this matter."

Tang En understood it as soon as he heard it.

Before that, Roland Emmerich and Bill McNick must have communicated a long time ago. The latter didn't want to poach the corner of his old club, so he pushed the task to Twain.

More importantly, Tang En has more face than him!

Bill McNick to contact, 20th Century Fox will definitely not let go of this opportunity, and will get involved in the "The Day After Tomorrow" project.

Roland Emmerich was one of the top five directors of commercial films in Hollywood in the 1990s who had the final editing rights!

Every movie he made was a hit.

Twentieth Century Fox definitely wants to take this opportunity to participate in the investment and get a share of the action.

But it was different when Tang En stepped forward.

He could say straight up the outcome—he was going to buy the rights to the book "The Coming Global Superstorm."

Could Fox Films still say no?

Tang En raised his lips and nodded, "By the way, you may not know. Tang En Pictures has just made a business adjustment. From now on, Tang En Pictures will only produce commercial blockbusters with an investment of over 100 million yuan, and they will be independently invested and operated, and implemented in an all-round way. Explosive blockbuster strategy. Small and medium-budget related films will be handed over to other film studios under its umbrella. This year, Dunn Pictures invested in two blockbuster films, "National Treasure" and "Harry Potter 2". Your "The Day After Tomorrow" will It will be the third one! You can prepare for this project with all your strength, and I will take care of the copyright of the novel."

This breath!

This handwriting!

This courage!

Even Roland Emmerich, who was used to making commercial blockbusters, secretly admired Tang En's courage.

With an investment of more than 100 million US dollars, you don’t need to talk about the details of the project. You can confirm the investment just by saying the name of the movie. It’s so powerful! So decisive!

Today's young people are really amazing!

Roland Emmerich smiled and said: "The concept of the project has been basically finalized, and Bill... also agrees, hehe, I wonder if our best actress is interested in acting?"

This is an obvious show of favor.

People in the circle spread the word that when Tang En invests in a film, he will give the director great autonomy, and he will dictatorially accept the heroine.

Natalie smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, Director Emmerich, I want to concentrate on my studies now, and in the next year or two... I don't want to act in movies anymore."

"Oh, that's a pity."

Roland Emmerich was even more amazed.

Oscar winner!

It was at the height of the sun, and with Natalie's current fame, the salary could be called 15 million US dollars, or even 20 million US dollars!

But she chose Xiying to study at this time, which is really a strange thing.

But then again, she is Tang En's girlfriend, so she must have no interest in money.

Tang En nodded and said: "She wants to study... But, do you know Scarlett Johansson? A very good actress."

Roland Emmerich was slightly dazed, never heard of it!

Tang En waved his hand, "Next time I introduce you, let her be the heroine. She has a good image and good acting skills. She is the best candidate... Oh! No, she is going to shoot "Lost in Translation" in summer, another movie Movies, I’m afraid they won’t be able to keep up. So let’s choose Abbie Cornish, she is a very good actress, she has a good image and good acting skills, she is the best candidate.”

Roland Emmerich opened his mouth and almost laughed.

This Tang En is really as rumored.

You especially dare to be so presumptuous in front of his girlfriend...Huh?

Natalie looked demure.

...

On the way back, Tang En hugged Natalie tightly in the car and whispered to her.

"We've all agreed!"

"No."

Tang En whispered: "Did you forget during the awards ceremony? As long as you win the award, you agree to be with Scarlett."

Natalie's face was flushed, "I don't, I just don't."

"That's boring."

"It wasn't there in the first place."

"Be good, baby, okay?"

"No."

Tang En was very helpless, "You are already a queen, Scarlett is not even a second-tier star, don't be afraid of her."

Natalie snorted, "Who is afraid of her? I just don't want to, don't want to..."

"Don't worry, it's all right. How about Let's try, just once, okay? If you don't like this feeling, don't do it next time. "

"Why are you so bad?"

"Good~"
