Heads Up Hollywood Chapter 1216

Published at 24th of July 2023 07:50:03 AM

Because Tom Cruise's personal remuneration is too high for the "Mission Impossible" series, the series cannot hire big stars, and can only hire some newcomers and cheap actors to make up for it.

According to Hollywood's routine, for this type of film, in addition to Tom Cruise, the absolute core of the box office, there are also beautiful female vases.

Attract audiences through fresh pink faces.

Good quality and low price, why not do it?

It's a pity that Paramount really overestimated the strength of "Mission Impossible 3" and the appeal of Tom Cruise this time.

In other words, Paramount never thought that "Daredevil 1" was quite satisfactory at the time, and "Daredevil 2" became a world-class blockbuster movie.

"Mission Impossible 3" has almost no living space.

This puts Tom Cruise under a lot of pressure!

If the box office of "Mission: Impossible 3" is not as good as expected, then he will not be able to offer sky-high pay for "Mission: Impossible 4" in the future.

Not only her, but also the female vase!

Although most of them are newcomers, they don't have too many scenes in the movie, but once such a big project fails, it is very likely to ruin their popularity.

What Hollywood lacks most is beautiful women.

No studio wants to use a failed actress as a leading actress.

There are quite a few female vases in "Mission Impossible 3", among which there are three main ones - Michelle Monaghan, Kelly Russell and Maggie Li.

Relatively speaking, Li Meiqi was most worried.

Because she is Asian, this is a disadvantaged group in Hollywood, worse than blacks and Latinos. Although Asian actors such as Jack Chen, Jet Li, Gong Huang, and Miss Zhang have achieved good results in recent years, they are still weak.

Korea, Japan, China, Hong Kong and India, there are many very good actors in these places, and they all dream of entering Hollywood. Therefore, in the face of this group, Hollywood is very harsh, and can put forward the most excessive conditions and offer the most exploitative salary.

For example, when Jett Lee came to Hollywood to make his first film "Lethal Weapon 4", the producer offered a salary of $1 million, which was far lower than his salary in the Hong Kong government.

For the opportunity of development, Jet Li endured and agreed!

Then, the producer was ruined, $750,000!

Jet Li was shocked, why is there such a price? Shout down? After several weighings, he endured it again and agreed.

Who would have thought that the other party would continue to change his words, $500,000!

What is the concept of $500,000?

This film, the actor Mel Gibson as a producer and actor, has a total of about 35 million US dollars, and the film took a total of 63 days... That is to say, as the second male lead, Jett Lee's The salary is not even as much as Mel Gibson's salary in a day!

This is not bad.

None of the Japanese actors who have developed in the United States in the past few years have been paid more than 100,000 US dollars. They are all the top actors in Japan, and they are very popular in the Asian market.

Because of this factor, Li Meiqi was very anxious. She even thought that it would be okay to go back to Hong Kong and Taiwan to develop. There, her mixed-race and high-value image is very popular among everyone, and she is known as "the woman that Hong Kong government men want to hug the most".

It wasn't until the third week of "Mission Impossible 3" that her agent told her good news.

Dunn wants to see her!

"Dawn?"

Li Meiqi was stunned for a moment, she immediately thought of something, and then immediately confirmed with her agent.

She is a signed artist of CAA.

CAA and Dunn have always maintained a very friendly cooperative relationship.

It is conceivable that her agent has said all the good things about Tang En, and told her unmistakably: "After Tang En, your career in Hollywood may have a great improvement. ."

"How... how did it go?"

"Maggie, you are a woman, a very beautiful woman! You know what your weapon is."

"This……"

"I heard that an Asian girl has often been with Dunn recently. This is your chance."

……

The filming of "One Bamboo Destined Gold Mountain" is over, and it is expected to be broadcast on Starz in December this year or January next year.

Jett Lee is the lead actor, with Gal Gadot playing a small role.

Of course, the heroine Qingtian is also indispensable.

She is Jet Lee's sister in the play, the inspiration for all the contradictions.

After the filming of the TV series, Qing Tian naturally stayed.

She is a freshman at Nortel. However, she has all come to Hollywood to film, and she has even filmed the blockbuster "Mulan" co-produced by China and the United States. It is no exaggeration to say that she is currently the most popular female star in the film school!

The school has always tolerated such popular students.

It's not enough if you don't condone it. If it's just students, that's all. The school can manage it with an iron fist. But which actress who has the ability to become popular does not have a strong backer behind it?

The school can't be bothered either.

Qing Tian had enough reasons to stick with Tang En and stay.

Not only stay.

Because Natalie was about to give birth, Dunn went home every night, and Qingtian also moved into King's Landing No. 1 Manor. She was well-behaved, spoke sweetly, and was very polite to every girlfriend of Dunn. friendly.

However, in front of the 8-member "handmaid group" composed of the beauty pageant champions selected from the Colombian beauty contest, she was very good at exercising her power and instructing them to do what they did to serve her, just like the queen concubine in the palace. Yes, it will be very enjoyable. Unlike Natalie, Scarlett and the others, it is somewhat unnatural to instruct others to serve them.

Because Qingtian is a bit clingy, unlike Natalie and Scarlett who pursue independence, she seems to be unable to live without a man, and everything revolves around men.

This caused little Taylor's dissatisfaction, because she was Dunn's little tail.

Since the night of her 16th birthday in December last year, after she completed the baptism of her life under the guidance of Tang En, her whole personality has become more confident.

Qing Tian clings to Dunn, and little Taylor refuses to let it go.

So much so that Dunn takes them to the company every day. Apart from coming to the executives to report for work, the two of them would return to the interior, and the rest of the time, they would stick to Tang En's side, acting like a spoiled child.

At the beginning, Tang En felt pretty good. There was a sense of satisfaction that a concubine would flatter and please the emperor.

But after a long time, it became a little uncomfortable.

Although Qingtian was very well-behaved, seeing that Tang En was irritable, he sat obediently by the side, quietly and elegantly, but little Taylor was reluctant, chattering very noisy. It is estimated that in a few years, it will be better to be a few years older.

Fortunately, Li Meiqi is here.

Dunn has a new job.

"Let's go inside and talk."

Seeing Li Meiqi, Tang En's eyes lit up, she was really beautiful. The height of the model, the Asian face, the big eyes, the high nose, and the mixed-race temperament are very prominent. Especially when she wore a waist dress, her slender waist set off her career line very proudly.

Tang En was very satisfied, so he wanted to take her to the second office... chat slowly.

Little Taylor also stood up immediately, grabbing Dunn's arm, "I'll go too!"

Although Qing Tian was soft and silent, she also stood up, not wanting to miss the opportunity.

Tang En said displeased: "What are you doing, we... are going to talk about work. Sweet, take her to a swim, you are old, take care of her."

"Well, I see." Qing Tian said very well-behaved.

Little Taylor wanted to say something, but seeing Dunn's eyes widened, he pouted and said nothing more. After Tang En and Li Meiqi walked towards the second office, they muttered very unhappy.

Qing Tian smiled and said, "Okay, let's go swimming, don't disturb your work."

"What do you know?" Little Taylor gave her a disdainful glance, "The second office has never been a place to work!"

……

Isn't the second office a place to work?

You can't say that either.

To be precise, the second office is not a place for business work, but a place for Dunn to develop human relationships in Hollywood, which is also a part of Dunn's work.

Tang En led Li Meiqi towards the second office, looked her up and down without concealment while walking, and praised: "You are very beautiful and have a great figure!"

"Thank you." Li Meiqi was a little uncomfortable with Tang En's judgmental statement, but she also showed a bright smile and thanked him.

"When I watched "Mission Impossible 3", I fell in love with you. I didn't expect you to be more beautiful in person than in the movie."

"thanks."

At this time, Li Meiqi had followed Tang En into the second office, and what caught his eye was a huge red sofa.

The names of countless female stars flashed through her mind immediately, Nicole Kidman, Reese Witherspoon, Angelina Jolie, Charlize Theron, Penelope Cruz, Marion Cotillard, Kate Winslet, Naomi Watts, Marion Cotillard, Sophie Marceau... They've all been on this sofa, right?

For a while, he stared at the red sofa and was a little distracted.

Tang En couldn't help but laugh and said, "Did your agent tell you?"

"Well." Li Meiqi's face was slightly hot, and she didn't dare to look directly at Tang En, "Let's...let's chat first?"

"Chat?" Tang En immediately shook his head, "Forget it, if there is anything, I will ask someone to contact your agent. I'm still busy here, so hurry up and get down to business."

"Oh, then I'll lock the door."

"Lock the door? No, there are no outsiders here."

"Aren't the curtains drawn?"

Tang En said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm very safe here, and I can't see the inside from the outside. Besides, this is the highest position in the headquarters park."

"Oh, okay."

Li Meiqi bit her lip and didn't think any more, she walked over to the red sofa.

Tang En walked to the desk, picked up his camera, installed the camera, turned his head and found that Li Meiqi was already lying on the red sofa, he couldn't help laughing: "Don't lie down in a hurry, take a few pictures first. Take a photo as a souvenir."

"Taking pictures?" Li Meiqi was slightly taken aback.

Tang En said: "Well, take some private photos and keep them."

"Still taking pictures?" Li Meiqi was a little surprised, she sat up immediately, her eyes widened, "Didn't the agent tell me?"

"Really? It doesn't matter."

"But... uh... have they all been filmed?"

Tang En said with a smile, "Of course."

"Nicole Kidman?"

"Um."

"Anne Hathaway?"

"Um."

"Angelina Jolie?"

"Well. Well, I have a meeting in an hour. Don't waste your time. Take the photos and get down to business! Hurry up!"

……

Today is Monday, and last week's box office results will be released.

Dunn is going to attend the Marvel conference.

Mainly the box office battle between Daredevil 2 and Batman 2!

"Daredevil 2" is in its third week of release, and "Batman 2" is a new release!

In this very unfair box office competition, who has the advantage?

Is "Daredevil 2" topping the North American box office chart for the third consecutive week, or is "Batman 2" really giving the hit "Daredevil 2" a halving at the box office?

Dunn was more than ten minutes late.

No way, mainly because Li Meiqi's task is a bit heavy, Tang En has been busy for a long time, and still a little unfinished.

"Have you signed the check?"

Dunn hurriedly walked to the conference room and said to Jasmine Bloom beside him.

Jasmine Bloom said: "I will pay her agent directly."

"Well, she said that she doesn't make much money in Hollywood, so she can make a few more appointments to earn her some extra money."

"Okay, I'll arrange it. If you like Asians... Hollywood has an Indian actress who has a high status in Bollywood, and is equivalent to Nicole Kidman in Hollywood."

"Bollywood?"

"Well, her name is Aishwarya Rai. Time Magazine, Rolling Stone, and HELLO have all asked her to be the cover of their magazines. She is very distinctive and beautiful."

"Is it……"

Tang En paused for a while, then waved his hand, "You can do it, you can arrange it if you think you can. I'm only responsible for doing things here, and it's up to you to choose people."

Jasmine Bloom almost laughed, "Okay, I see!"

When he came to the conference room, Tang En saw that everyone's faces were not anxious because of his late arrival~www.novelhall.com~, but the excitement and joy that could not be concealed!

Obviously, it was a success!

"Daredevil 2" must have defeated "Batman 2", and in the third week of its release, it will continue to dominate the list!

As for "Mission Impossible 3", it's not worth mentioning at all.

After taking a seat, I got the report, and it really did!

Last week, Daredevil 2's seven-day box office was $10.52 million, $9.63 million, $8.76 million, $8.4 million, $12.71 million, $17.19 million, and $12.76 million!

The North American box office hit $80 million in its third week!

Although it did not exceed 100 million, it is very rare to get such a box office result in the third week of its release. You know, three weeks after its release, the film's North American box office has accumulated to 360 million US dollars!

This is an incredible achievement!

The global box office also successfully exceeded 500 million US dollars.

In contrast to "Batman 2"...

$28.65 million on Friday, $20.29 million on Saturday and $15.75 million on Sunday. It was released in the first week, including the early stage and the premiere, and only got a North American box office of 71.4 million US dollars!

More importantly, the reputation is not good.

The plot is too old-fashioned, and it is completely different from Daredevil 2.

The box office plunge for three consecutive days has shown this.
