Chapter 556 Weird Reception

The awards season is coming, and it's Christmas again. Many films are starting to be released together in late December.

These include Rose Pictures' "Chicago," Focus Features' "The Pianist," DreamWorks' "How to Get Away with Murder," Warner Bros.' "Two Weeks," New Line Cinema's "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers," Fox Searchlight's "Beyond Adversity," Miramax's "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind," MGM's "Nicholas Nickel Bay," Disney's "25th Hour," and the IMAX remake of "The Lion King" ...

Before that, Tang En said that "Chicago" would shine in the awards season.

Now, "Chicago" is about to be released, two actors, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Rachel Weisz, took the initiative to come to the door...

Of course, Tang En was disrespectful, and took the two of them to the red sofa, which was very useful for a while.

It is really a drunken enjoyment!

It may be because Tang En is asking for help, or it may be because Tang En's current power is much greater than in the first half of the year. Catherine Zeta Jones and Rachel Weisz cooperate very well, and they are changing on the sofa. He tried to please Tang En in various ways, and was welcome to welcome him.

The performance of this pair of British stunners is perfect!

It is comparable to the combination of Charlize Theron and Penelope Cruz.

After finishing his work on the sofa, Tang En still couldn't get enough of it, and asked for it again while taking a shower. Only then was he satisfied and put on his clothes.

"This awards season, the competition is too great!"

After waiting for Tang En to get dressed, the two British girls began to put on their own dresses.

Tang En sat on the sofa in a dainty manner, admiring the beautiful scene of the beauties dressing, and said disapprovingly: "There is a lot of competition? I also deliberately changed the schedule of "The Lost Lover" to April next year, otherwise More competition!"

Catherine Zeta Jones said: "This is also very big, it feels...more intense than in 1994."

Tang En knew what she meant, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, no matter how fierce the competition is, your Best Supporting Actress won't win!"

"real?"

Catherine Zeta Jones' eyes lit up, full of surprise.

Tang En said lightly: "I say yes, and I will definitely do it!"

"thanks, thanks!"

Catherine Zeta Jones was a little incoherent with excitement, as if she had already grasped the Oscar statuette in her hand, she rushed up and kissed Tang En on the face.

Even Natalie can rely on a small film like "Juno" to seal it in one fell swoop. Do you still need to doubt Tang En's strength?

Her performance in "Chicago" was much better than Natalie's performance in "Juno".

Rachel Weisz had some resentment, she looked at Tang En pitifully, "What about me?"

"You?" Tang En pondered for a moment, then shook his head, "This year's actress is Nicole. Your performance in "Chicago" was not breakthrough enough."

Rachel Weisz bit her lip and said: "I know, Nicole Kidman's performance in "The Hours" has amazed the entire film critics, and the voices are extremely high. But... Isn't the Golden Globe not enough? "

There is only one Oscar winner.

But there are two Golden Globe winners, one is the best drama queen, and the other is the musical comedy queen.

"The Hours" is a drama, "Chicago" is a musical, just separated.

The Golden Globe Award in the previous life was like this.

Nicole Kidman and Renee Zellweger, who starred in the original version of "Chicago", won Golden Globe Awards respectively.

Now, although the female lead of "Chicago" has changed, the Golden Globe Awards have also changed. After a farce, Tang En has a great influence on the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.

"Well, Golden Globe Queen, no problem!" Tang En was admiring Catherine Zeta Jones' voluptuous action wearing a bra, and dealt with it casually.

Unexpectedly, Rachel Weisz suddenly rushed over and kissed him fiercely on the face.

Twenty minutes later, Dunn walked out of the office with the two of them in his arms. Tosca Musk and Isla Fisher were already accustomed to such situations and turned a blind eye.

"Twain, I'm free throughout the awards season, if you miss me, just give me a call."

When leaving, Catherine Zeta Jones winked and said to Dunn in a charming voice.

Rachel Weisz also smiled and said, "You can ask me out, whether it's one, two, three, or four, I'm fine."

Tang En burst out laughing.

Not far away, Isla Fisher's face changed slightly, and he whispered to Tosca Musk: "Is this a Hollywood female star?"

Tosca Musk said cautiously: "Don't talk nonsense."

"I know, isn't this a whisper between us?"

"That's how it is in the entertainment industry."

Isla Fisher curled her lips again and again, "That Catherine is still married, and her husband is Michael Douglas."

Tosca Musk said lightly: "The power of the Douglas family is not as good as before. If she wants to have a better career development in Hollywood, she can only use the weapon between her legs."

"Between the legs?"

Isla Fisher looked weird, wanted to laugh, but didn't.

Yes, this is a woman's greatest weapon!

Wasn't she able to become a best-selling author and secretary to the chairman of the New Universal Group because of this weapon back then?

...

Awards-winning films are only screened on a small scale at the end of December to qualify for the competition. The real box office harvest is during the awards season from January to March.

"Chicago" opened in 77 theaters, which is quite a lot.

The purely literary film "The Pianist" produced by Focus Pictures is still an R-rated film, and it only opened in 3 theaters.

The Christmas schedule only belongs to two films: "Lord of the Rings 2: The Two Towers" and "How to Get Away with Murder".

December 29th is already the countdown to 2002.

Twain was kindly invited by Warner Bros. and New Line to attend the celebration reception of "The Lord of the Rings 2: The Two Towers".

Tang En was a little surprised by such an abrupt invitation.

The CEO of Warner Bros., Barry Meyer, personally called Dunn and said that this reception, in name, was to celebrate the North American box office of "Lord of the Rings 2: The Two Towers" successfully surpassing 100 million. A social etiquette at the end of the year.

For this reason, there is no way to refuse.

Tang En took Natalie, who was on Christmas vacation, to the appointment.

"Since it's a social party, don't be too pushy and keep a low profile when you get there in a while."

Sitting in the extended bulletproof Lincoln car, Natalie persuaded Tang En earnestly.

Tang En sighed, "I also want to keep a low profile, but I can't help it, it's too cool!"

Natalie chuckled and patted Tang En, "I'm talking about business with you."

"Business?" Tang En took off his suit jacket with a serious face, "You have to wear my coat, that's the business. It's winter, and you're wearing a skirt, so you're not afraid of catching a cold?"

"Aren't all ladies like this?" Natalie said disapprovingly.

Tang En insisted: "I don't care what other people do. You are my woman, and I have an obligation to protect you. I don't want to watch you suffer from the cold."

Natalie pursed her lips coquettishly, "That's really nice! As long as you avoid provoking a few women, I'll be happier than anything else."

"Ahem..."

Tang En was a little embarrassed, and looked out the window in a blink of an eye, suddenly startled, "Huh? Isn't that Eisner's car?"

In front of the Hilton Hotel, many familiar faces have appeared.

Most of them were actors and celebrities. Tang En saw Michael Eisner's special car at a glance!

"Really?"

Natalie couldn't believe it either.

Tang En said in a deep voice: "I can't make a mistake."

"It's weird," Natalie murmured.

Disney and Time Warner have never had a good relationship.

In particular, the farce of Warner Cable suspending the operation of the Disney Channel two years ago was even bigger than the current troubles of New Universal and Viacom! In the end, it was Congress who came forward to mediate and allowed the two parties to shelve their disputes.

But since then, the exchanges between the two media companies have become even less.

Michael Eisner, in particular, kept criticizing AOL in public.

In fact, AOL America Online and Time Warner are already a family.

Tang En didn't get out of the car in a hurry, and frowned. He felt that this reception was not as simple as the "Lord of the Rings 2" celebration reception or the Hollywood year-end party.

"Huh? Look! That seems to be Mr. Roberts." Natalie pointed to a man in a suit and leather shoes who was walking into the hotel, and exclaimed.

Tang En took a closer look, and sure enough, it was Comcast's president, Brian Roberts, and his wife.

"Aren't Comcast and Time Warner rivals in cable TV?"

Natalie looked at Tang En strangely.

Tang En snorted coldly, "I don't know what Warner is up to. No matter what, let's go in and have a look first! Is it possible that this celebration reception is not going to happen? Go, get out of the car!"

Natalie gave him a reproachful look.

But my heart is still very useful.

Domineering men are always attractive.

Natalie put on Tang En's coat, took his arm, entered the Hilton Hotel, and followed the waiter's guidance, went straight to the party hall on the 11th floor.

Coincidentally, as soon as I entered the door, I ran into Warner Bros. President Alan Horn who was discussing the movie with Bryan Singer.

Bryan Singer is a small director. Tang En only glanced at it, and then said to Alan Horn with deep meaning: "Today's reception... is full of guests!"

Alan Horn remained calm, as if he didn't understand his questioning, and said with a smile: "It's just for the face of my peers in the industry, hehe, I'm talking about the new version of "Batman" with Brian, and it happens to be related to you."

The other party cleverly changed the subject, but Tang En didn't insist, and smiled slightly, ""Batman"? Is it related to me?"

Bryan Singer took the initiative to say: "That's right, I think I'm too far behind you in terms of film understanding, ha ha. "Daredevil" is a film produced by you. I don't want "Batman" and "Night" "Magic Man" is in the same schedule."

Tang En glanced at Alan Horn, and understood that Bryan Singer was taking the blame!

The director is an artist thinking, how could he admit counsel so easily?

It must be that Warner wants to adjust the schedule and does not want "Batman" and "Daredevil" to compete.

There is no way, the box office of the commercial films produced by Twain over the past few years has exploded, and Warner Bros. must reduce the risk.

Especially in the May file, there are two blockbusters "X-Men 2" and "The Matrix 2", and "Batman" is a bit overwhelming.

"When did you adjust?"

"July 18th."

"July 18?"

Tang En's expression became a little strange.

Now it's interesting!

"Jedi Men 2", a collaboration between Jerry Bruckheimer, Michael Bay and Bruce Willis, is also released on July 18!
