Heads Up Hollywood

Marion Cotillard was suffocating with tension.

Today, she got up early in the morning and asked a hair stylist to do her hair; a makeup artist to do exquisite makeup; and a designer to match today's clothes.

Even in the cold winter of January, she bravely put on a long skirt.

Actresses, wearing skirts, never distinguish between spring, summer, autumn and winter.

She thought it was Tang En who suddenly became interested in her, so she specially dressed up and went to the new global headquarters to meet Tang En.

Although she had never been to Tang En's office.

But word has spread in the industry that Tang En's office... has a red sofa!

The meaning is self-evident.

Marion Cotillard is a French female star, she is 29 years old this year, what scene has she not seen? Those bastard directors in France are more disgusting than Hollywood.

It's really a blessing to be favored by Tang En.

Still, she was nervous.

Because the last time she met Tang En at the home of her manager Hilda Querry.

At that time, she boldly seduced her. But Tang En said that it would be best to bring another French actress, Eva Green, along with her in line.

However, Eva Green's family is too prominent. In the French entertainment circle, it is definitely a famous family, which is equivalent to the Coppola family in France.

If it weren't for this background, she would not have made her debut, and she starred in "Dream of Paris" directed by Oscar-winning director Bernardo Bertolucci.

With Marion Cotillard's current status, she really didn't dare to provoke her.

"Okay, stop thinking about it, it's not what you think!"

Seeing Marion Cotillard's worried expression, Hilda Querry shook her head amusedly.

"Ah...ah?"

Marion Cotillard froze for a moment.

Hilda Querry said: "I came here today to talk about a movie, a very important movie, otherwise I wouldn't have come here in person."

"Movie?"

Marion Cotillard was suspicious.

She hasn't done Tang En any favors yet, so she can talk about movies?

Hilda Querry frowned, and said sternly: "Put away your messy thoughts. Even if Tang En is interested in you, movies are movies and have nothing to do with anything else. Don't question the professionalism of Hollywood!"

"oh."

Marion Cotillard is a well-known star in France.

In Hollywood, though, she's a total newcomer.

In front of a top agent in the industry like Hilda Querry, it is natural to listen to whatever is said.

"There may be some important people in a while, I ask you to talk when you are talking, don't talk too much." Hilda Querry was afraid that the French's lazy and romantic temperament in her would not be restrained, and she warned her earnestly.

"I know." Marion Cotillard smiled, blinked, and asked in a low voice, "Hilda, what movie is it?"

"Secret."

"Secret?"

Marion Cotillard was dumbfounded.

This made her go to the office to discuss the role. At this time, she still has to keep it secret?

Hilda Querry said solemnly: "As I said, the professionalism of Hollywood is far better than that of the French film industry. After a while, if you pass the interview, it will naturally tell you what movie it is. If you fail , you are not qualified to know. The film project has not yet been established, and it is still in the confidential stage."

Marion Cotillard felt like she had returned to the time when she was seventeen or eighteen years old and just entered the industry, ignorant and ignorant.

Following Hilda Querry obediently, she came to Dun En's office, and was recommended by the secretary Illa Fisher, and went all the way to the reception room.

Marion Cotillard was shocked by Tang En's magnificent and luxurious office, and secretly looked around full of curiosity.

Also looking for.

The legendary red sofa... Where is it?

Then, she froze on the spot.

In the reception room, she saw three big figures—Dawn Walker, Ron Howard, and Tom Hanks.

She already knew that there would be important people present, but she really didn't expect that there would be such a heavyweight person.

Somewhat overwhelmed.

In the reception room at this time, Tang En was having a very speculative conversation with Ron Howard and Tom Hanks.

None of the three parties has any objection to bringing "The Da Vinci Code" to the big screen.

As early as the 1990s, Ron Howard collaborated with Tom Hanks to film "Apollo 13", which made a lot of money in the art and box office markets.

Two years ago, Twain and Ron Howard cooperated and spent 100 million US dollars to launch the commercial film "National Treasure". The film was released last year and earned 170 million US dollars at the North American box office and 350 million US dollars at the global box office.

Twain and Tom Hanks have not had the experience of cooperating in movies. The two parties only had a pleasant cooperation in the American drama "Band of Brothers".

Faced with the invitation for a big project like "The Da Vinci Code", Tom Hanks has no possibility of refusing.

In 2002, Tom Hanks starred in a movie "Road to Perdition", which did not fare well at the box office. Although "How to Get Away with Murder" later sold well at the box office, it was in the aura of Leonardo DiCaprio.

So much so that for the whole year of last year, he didn't release any new films.

in training period.

At this time, Tom Hanks is trying to use the "Da Vinci Code" project to prove his appeal in the box office market.

Seeing Hilda Qualley and Marion Cotillard approaching, Tang En casually pointed to the sofa beside him, then continued the topic just now, and said nonchalantly: "Tom, that's the deal, in terms of salary ...No special requirements, right?"

Hearing these words, Marion Cotillard's eyes widened, a little surprised.

What's happening here?

Hilda Querry just told her that Hollywood is very professional!

In this case, how could Tang En bypass the agent and directly negotiate the salary with the actors?

Isn't that against the rules?

How did she know that at the level of Tom Hanks, she has long been out of the control of the brokerage company. When he was not famous, the brokerage company was the uncle, but after he became famous, the brokerage company was the grandson.

Even if Tom Hanks wanted to play for free, the agency would not dare to say "no".

Tom Hanks smiled and said frankly: "Let's go as usual, 20 million US dollars. If the budget is not enough...you can cut the salary and use the later dividends to compensate."

In 1998, he officially entered the "$20 million club" with "Electronic Love Letter".

Members of this club, as long as they are not shooting sequel films, or particularly niche literary films, generally speaking, they are paid 20 million US dollars, which is the same price.

For example, Will Smith's "Mechanical Enemy" and "National Rival" are paid 20 million US dollars.

If the budget is not enough and the remuneration is to be lowered, then later dividend subsidies are required.

In the previous life, "The Da Vinci Code" lowered Tom Hanks' salary because of insufficient budget. Then, he got a remuneration of 18 million US dollars + 5% box office profit dividends, and the final total income exceeded 25 million US dollars.

Of course Dunn would not offer such an idiotic condition.

It's just an extra 2 million budget, and it was given in advance!

"No problem! Just $20 million!"

Without even thinking about it, Tang En agreed with a smile.

Ron Howard and Hilda Qualley listened with smiles on their faces, looking very happy.

The male protagonist is happy, the investors are generous, and the preparation of this project will be very easy.

Many Hollywood movies take years to make.

It is very annoying to constantly haggle over every detail for one or two million dollars.

In contrast, the project that Tang En personally promoted was too much fun.

Simply neat!

"For this project, we must hurry up. Get the script out first, and prepare the crew as soon as possible. Try to start it in June and release it in summer next year."

Tang En once again showed his vigorous side.

"It will be released next year?" Ron Howard was a little embarrassed, "Will it be too rushed? For such a big project, it would be safer if there was more production time. How about... delaying the release to 2006?"

Tang En had a strange expression on his face. He took a deep look at him and said, "In the summer of 2006, "Daredevil 2" will be released."

Ron Howard didn't care.

With the box office appeal of "Daredevil 1", he doesn't think "Daredevil 2" can create obstacles for "The Da Vinci Code".

Tang En had no choice but to say: "In the second half of the year, I will direct a movie, "The Avengers", which will also be released in the summer of 2006."

As soon as these words came out, Ron Howard was stunned.

No matter how confident he was, it was impossible for him to compete with Tang En's movie for the schedule.

This is the main god in the commercial market!

Tom Hanks said with a smile: "As long as it is not a special effects blockbuster, 18 months of shooting and production time is enough."

Ron Howard nodded, "Okay."

At this moment, Tang En's eyes turned to the new French actress, and he waved to her, "Come here."

Marion Cotillard got up quickly, walked gracefully, and slowly came to Tang En, Ron Howard and Tom Hanks, and stood up.

She was wearing a red pleated skirt with a tight waist, revealing her graceful figure. The side of the skirt was slit, revealing her big white legs, which looked very sexy.

She thought she was here to audition with Tang Enhong on the sofa today, so she intentionally dressed a little more charmingly.

That pair of very eye-catching, protruding, deer-like big eyes, passionate and sensitive, showing a full French style.

"French?"

Ron Howard saw something at a glance.

"Yes, director." Marion Cotillard smiled, showing a charming dimple at the corner of her mouth, "I'm from Paris, France, and my name is Marion Cotillard."

After finishing speaking, she straightened her waist, gently supported her waist with her left hand, and raised her right knee slightly, revealing a small section of fair thigh skin.

Put on a natural, enchanting and sexy look.

Let the three men savor and appreciate carefully.

"Sure enough, she is a French beauty, spicy and bold enough!"

Tang En's eyes showed some appreciation, and he thought to himself.
