Heads Up Hollywood

This year's Oscars are destined to be dominated by "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King".

Tang En also served as the award presenter and presented Peter Jackson with the award for best picture.

Compared with last year's grand occasion of dominating the Oscars, this year's situation of New Universal is a bit flat, only winning 4 awards——

Best Actress, Charlize Theron for The Devil;

Best Original Screenplay, "Lost in Translation";

Best Cinematography, Daredevil;

Best Animated Feature Film, "Finding Nemo."

You know, just one film "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" swept 11 awards!

However, Tang En was in a good mood.

Mel Gibson, who was nominated for Best Actor for "Gone Girl", and Nicole Kidman, who was nominated for Best Actress, also invited Tang En to participate in the "Australian Gang" after the awards ceremony big party.

Now, the relationship between Tang En and the Australian actors has become better and better, and it can even be said that they have become a collective.

Check out these Australian actors who are hot in Hollywood right now -

Mel Gibson, "Mad Max 4" co-operated with Dunn Films, will be released this summer;

Nicole Kidman, "RoboCop" with Tang En Pictures, released this summer;

Russell Crowe, the animated adaptation blockbuster "Dumbo", which is currently in theaters, is the leading actor;

Naomi Watts, who is about to start filming Universal Pictures' blockbuster King Kong;

Rose Byrne, as the "Wasp", she will shoot two Marvel blockbusters this year, "Ant-Man 2" and "The Avengers";

Heath Ledger, has joined Ann Lee's new project "Brokeback Mountain";

Cate Blanchett, "The Departed", which she participated in, will be the masterpiece of this year's New Universal, and will impact next year's Oscars;

Eric Bana has already confirmed that he will play the "Hulk", appearing in the Easter eggs of "Iron Man" and "Avengers"...

Originally, Tang En also wanted Australian actor Chris Hemsworth to star in "Thor", just like in his previous life.

As a result, he searched around.

The man was never found.

Not to mention the American entertainment circle, there are not many Australian entertainment circles.

I guess... this guy is still moving bricks on the construction site.

There is no way but to hold a larger-scale audition to cast the role of "Thor".

"Twain, this is the list of suitable actors selected by our Marvel Studios Competition."

After the ceremony, on the first day of work, Tang En was blocked in the office by Nina Jacobson.

Tang En took the list and glanced at it.

Good guy!

There are many stars!

Including Brad Pitt, Nicolas Cage, and Russell Crowe, the three first-line stars are all listed, and there are two unfamiliar names.

There are five alternatives in total.

"What do you think?"

"Back then, the more famous the better."

Nina Jacobson blurted it out without hesitation.

The "Thor" series of movies are superheroes with mythological themes. The sales of comics are mediocre and the popularity is not high. They are not a flattering hero.

If there is a well-known male star in the lineup, there will be greater box office expectations.

"Nicolas Cage... He even rejected our "Ghost Rider". With such a serious popcorn tendency, "Thor", he will take over?" Tang En curled his lips, disapproving.

Nina Jacobson looked embarrassed: "Indeed. Although he didn't explicitly reject it, the remuneration terms he proposed...was too high, 20 million US dollars was not enough, and he asked for dividends. In the past few years, Marvel Studios has never Never paid such a high salary."

"Then rule it out!" Tang En waved his hand, he knew that Nicolas Cage was still popular at the moment, and he was still high-spirited, "The movies of Marvel Studios are all based on the same universe structure, and we must pay attention to the salary structure and not lose balance. "

Nina Jacobson nodded. "Russell Crowe rejected our script, but he's Australian. Talk to him if you think it's necessary?"

"Russell Crowe? Forget it." Tang En shook his head. "We all know that the movie "Thor" has no acting space, and it is completely shot on a green screen. For an actor like Russell Crowe, this is a pain."

Nina Jacobson smiled slightly and said: "As I thought, there is only one candidate left, Brad Pitt! His salary requirement is lower than that of Nicolas Cage, the first film salary is 15 million US dollars, you can sign 5 film contracts, and the highest film salary is 30 million US dollars."

"Brad Pitt...that's a pretty normal salary."

"That's right, and we still have room to bargain."

Tang En expressed his approval: "Then let's do this!"

Needless to say, Brad Pitt's reputation is absolutely top-notch, and his acting skills are also Oscar-level.

When "Thor" was released in 2006, it was when Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were in love and rumors were raging, which could form a wave of free publicity and create momentum for the movie.

In his previous life, Brad Pitt also auditioned for Thor. As a result, it was scrapped because of the high pay, and the new actor Chris Hemsworth was selected to increase the star halo through the newly promoted Oscar actress Natalie Portman.

In this life, the candidate for the heroine "Jane Foster" has been confirmed. It is the Canadian actress Rachel Lefeffer, a newcomer with little fame.

In this case, if the leading actor is more famous, it is more in line with the requirements of the film studio.

"However... there is an accident."

Nina Jacobsen hesitated for a moment, rather embarrassed.

Tang En raised his eyebrows, "What's wrong?"

Nina Jacobson glanced back at the door and said in a low voice, "Last night, Barry called me and said he wanted to install someone."

"Barry? Barry Diller?"

"Um."

Tang En was quite shocked.

As the CEO of New Universal Group, Barry Diller is not directly in charge of the film business. How could he directly put actors in the film?

This is something that has never happened in the past year and a half.

Nina Jacobson said in embarrassment: "Twain, you know, if it's an ordinary small role, it's fine. I'll definitely agree without saying a word. I'll sell his face. However, his request, It's hard for us to do."

Tang En took a deep breath, and asked in astonishment: "He doesn't want the leading actor, does he?"

Nina Jacobson nodded, "That's the lead man! He wants his friend, to be 'Thor'!"

"how so?"

Tang En was puzzled.

It is not surprising to use power for personal gain.

In Hollywood, power has always dominated everything.

Isn't Tang En's comfortable life surrounded by beauties the result of using power for personal gain?

He could, and so could Barry Diller.

It's just that he was wondering, why would Barry Diller do this?

He's retiring soon, isn't it necessary?

"Maybe, he is about to retire and wants to make a fortune!"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Tang En glared at her.

It is impossible to make money.

Nina Jacobson said eagerly: "I mean, he's going to retire in a few years, and he wants...he wants to play the last wave of enthusiasm for his friends."

She emphasized the word "friend".

Tang En blinked and suddenly realized.

yes!

Barry Diller...

He is gay!

This is to find a way out for male pets... (https:)
