Heads Up Hollywood

"Twain, there are some things... let's get over it. Michael has realized his mistake." As soon as Spielberg came to the living room, he saw Tang En leisurely sipping tea, and couldn't help it. sigh.

Tang En waved to him with a smile, "Steven, come, try my tea art! Longjing before the rain!"

Spielberg had no choice but to sit down and take a sip. He almost didn't spit it out, "What kind of tea is this? It's so bitter?"

Dunn was speechless.

Europeans and Americans have the habit of drinking tea, but this tea is a British-style afternoon tea, mainly black tea from India, with sugar, milk and juice added.

As for the origin of tea...it has become a minority among the minority.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this, I heard that you are going to make a new movie?" Tang En waved his hand and changed the subject.

Spielberg said: "Well, it is adapted from a true story. The script has been completed, and the casting of the actors is basically confirmed. It will start next month."

"what is it call?"

"'The End of Happiness'."

"Oh... I heard the leading actor is Hanks?"

Spielberg nodded, "Yes, Tom Hanks and Gwyneth Paltrow are the male and female protagonists."

"Wait!" Tang En waved his hand and opened his eyes wide, "Who is the heroine?"

Spielberg was a little surprised, "Gwen, my goddaughter, what's wrong?"

Tang En had a toothache.

How did the heroine of "The End of Happiness" become Gwyneth Paltrow? Shouldn't it be Catherine Zeta Jones?

After thinking about it, I understand.

Catherine Zeta Jones married into the Douglas family. In the first few years of her marriage, she received strong support from Kirk Douglas. She not only made great achievements in the literary film market, but also in the commercial film market. She also won an Oscar .

She jumped from a third-tier starlet to a first-tier female star.

In this life, Kirk Douglas was unexpectedly... pissed off because of all the disputes with Twain.

A direct result of Catherine Zeta Jones' serious downfall.

Even with Tang En's help, she still won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.

However, in Spielberg's masterpiece "The End of Happiness", her role is missing.

It was replaced by his goddaughter Gwyneth Paltrow.

Tang En didn't have a good impression of Gwyneth Paltrow, this guy was a passenger on Harvey Weinstein's big ship.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Tang En's unkind expression, Spielberg was even more surprised.

Tang En was very embarrassed, thought for a while, and slowly said: "Well, I have a friend... Catherine Zeta Jones, she really wants to be in your movie."

Catherine Zeta Jones is the wife of Michael Douglas. Due to his status, Dunn can't say much.

So far.

"This..." Spielberg naturally understood Tang En's meaning, and was a little embarrassed, "I've already made an agreement with Gwen."

"Isn't she your goddaughter?"

"I need a reason."

Seeing Spielberg's burning eyes, Tang En laughed a few times, "Steven, you don't really like that bastard Michael Bay, do you?"

Spielberg said: "He has already realized his mistake, and he has also deeply reflected on it. Twain, you should give him a chance."

Tang En was very indifferent, "This is not my personal problem."

Spielberg said: "Tang En, with your current status, there is no need to feel sorry for a film director, it will make you look too stingy. You are not in the same class at all now, and it is impossible for him to pose a threat to you anymore. And I can also assure you that he will be honest in the future."

Tang En shrugged his shoulders and said disdainfully: "I didn't take him seriously, he is not qualified enough. That's it, I supported a new director, you must know, Zack Schneider. They used to be alumni... ...some rancor."

Spielberg said helplessly: "Since we are alumni, let them deal with it?"

Tang En remained silent and took a sip of tea.

Feel comfortable!

Sure enough, Spielberg couldn't help it anymore, "I think Catherine Zeta Jones is really suitable for the heroine of "The Finish Line of Happiness". As for Gwen, she is my goddaughter. to deal with."

Tang En waved his hands and smiled, "Forget it, Steven, since you are so optimistic about him, I won't say much. But, do you really recognize his ability? Seriously, I have never Seeing such an unmotivated director like Michael Bay, who blindly repeats the original style in his works, chasing cars and exploding non-stop, the audience will definitely feel fatigued."

Spielberg sighed.

What can he do?

A great director with strength and potential, who will cooperate with DreamWorks? They all went to the Big Six.

Tang En continued: "Just like John Wu, after his tricks have been thoroughly understood by the audience, it is impossible to imagine the box office hits of "Face Changing" and "Mission: Impossible 2" in the past."

"No way?"

"Didn't he make a movie for DreamWorks?"

"That's right, "Memory Rift" will be released in December."

Tang En pouted, "Just wait for the result!"

A "Memory Rift" and an "Escape from Clone Island", brothers John Wu and Michael Bay, sang a double reed, directly bankrupting DreamWorks!

Then, DreamWorks couldn't hold on and was bought by Paramount.

With Tang En's current prestige and the strength of New Universal Group, it is not a big problem to buy DreamWorks.

But is it worth it?

As a director, Spielberg is first-rate; as a producer, he is second-rate; as a manager...not even third-rate, at most fourth-rate!

All the movies he directed are classics, and the movies he supervised are also very good.

However, most of the movies he launched as a manager were horrible.

Buy DreamWorks and blame Spielberg?

No matter how much Tang En admired him, he still couldn't do such a stupid thing.

Even DreamWorks Animation, he is interested in chatting.

Jeffrey Katzenberg is going to bankrupt DreamWorks Animation sooner or later.

In the 80-90s, he was a Hollywood god, provided he was under the leadership of Michael Eisner.

Let him start his own business and lead a company alone... He is really not suitable to be the top decision maker.

Character problems, lack of persistence to ideas.

This is why Michael Eisner was unwilling to promote him to become the president of Disney, and would rather pay a large sum of money.

"Let Michael come in and say a few words?"

Spielberg looked happy and made suggestions.

He wants to focus on cultivating Michael Bay and let him make blockbuster movies for DreamWorks.

If he was targeted by Tang En, it would be a fantasy.

Fortunately, the deal was concluded, much easier.

"Forget it, I'm not in the mood to see him." Tang En was very disdainful, and waved his hand, "By the way, let him go back and write a self-criticism, no less than 10,000 words! You must dig deep into your heart and reflect deeply!"

Spielberg nearly fainted.

...

"Huh? Why are you here?"

Tang En looked in surprise at this graceful beauty who appeared in his office.

She has a hot and sexy S-shaped figure, big wavy golden curly hair, and a beautiful face that seems to be shining with a bit of jade. In particular, her slender and fair thighs were exposed, and she was only wearing a goose yellow ultra-short miniskirt, which was enchanting and charming, very seductive.

By the way, this Catherine Zeta Jones is already in her thirties. This kind of girly dress is charming and charming, but at the same time she is a little more graceful, which is really amazing.

After thinking about it, I realized that it must be about "The Finish Line of Happiness".

Unexpectedly, Spielberg's efficiency is so high, just finished talking yesterday, and it's done today.

Tang En sat behind the big desk and didn't get up.

Catherine Zeta Jones flirted coquettishly, swayed three times, walked around the desk like a catwalk, came to Tang En's side, and sat directly on his lap, her arms naturally She put it on his shoulder, bit her red lips and said, "Miss you? You haven't asked me out for a long time?"

Tang En suppressed a smile, pretending to be serious, "This is not acceptable, Kate, you are a married woman, we'd better draw a clear line."

"Draw the line?" Catherine Zeta-Jones was amused and annoyed, "Did you touch me less in the past year or so?"

Tang En said solemnly: "That's the Douglas family's bullying too much. I want to teach them a lesson. Now that old Douglas is dead, your husband... has relented, so there is no need to hold on to it."

"Don't mention that trash!" Catherine Zeta Jones' face showed a bit of disgust and disdain.

"What's wrong?"

"I asked him to help me fight for the heroine of "The End of Happiness". What happened? If it weren't for you, I would have missed this role."

Tang En smiled.

For him, these are small things, nothing to be proud of.

Two years ago, Michael Douglas was still number one in front of him, and even when Catherine was filming "Chicago", he was always under surveillance, for fear that Tang En would take advantage of him.

Now... the New Global Group is already a giant.

Catherine Zeta Jones is coming to the new Universal headquarters, will Michael Douglas not know? Just turn a blind eye.

In the entertainment industry, everyone wants to be on top.

Not only women need means, but men too!

Barry Diller was gay, and Twain had heard many times from people in the company that he had dated many Hollywood actors in private.

"Try it on your red sofa?"

Seeing that Tang En didn't seem very eager this time, Catherine Zeta Jones took the initiative to seduce him.

Tang En smiled and said, "What's wrong with you? In such a hurry?"

Catherine Zeta Jones said very irritably: "It's not about "The End of Happiness". We have been separated for almost half a year."

"No wonder your skirt is so short."

"Isn't it for you?"

Tang En disagreed: "Do I need it?"

Catherine Zeta Jones sneered: "Then what are you stretching under my skirt? Duplicity."

Tang En coughed lightly, "I have something to do, and a friend is coming."

"ah?"

Catherine Zeta-Jones was a little disappointed.

She didn't have an appointment and came directly. In Tang En's capacity, he must be very busy with work, and he has to meet many important people.

"It's okay." Tang En stood up, put his arms around her, and walked towards the vast space in the office area, "You know a friend, let's go swimming, wait a while."
