Then, No.5 on the list, Daenerys Entertainment gave up again, Paramount's coming out comedy "Ins and Outs"
This movie is starring Kevin Klein, the actor of "A Fish Named Wanda" and Tom Selleck, the actor of "Three Dads and a Baby". After a long long-distance love race, his girlfriend was finally on the verge of achieving a positive result, but she was publicly identified as gay by her former student at a ceremony.
Howard tries to prove his innocence, only to discover his 'self' unexpectedly.
The theme is similar to "Birdcage", which was also a big hit last year.
By the way, Hollywood, which is the stronghold of the leftist fringes, is actually like this. For decades, it has been quietly changing the traditional concepts of Westerners bit by bit through movies and public opinion, and finally put the homosexual group on the stage. From' I don't like you' to 'I don't disagree with you' to the ultimate 'You dare to oppose me is politically incorrect', which can be called a classic case of ideology shaping.
Due to the excellent word-of-mouth of "Ins and Outs" and the support of Hollywood, the same September 9 opening schedule as "Six Heroes of Light Pigs" earned 12 million US dollars and 1915 million US dollars respectively in the previous two weeks.
However, still due to the sniping of "Ghost Story", "Ins and Outs" became the one of the top five Chinese and African new films with the deepest decline. The box office has shrunk by 46% in the past week, and the single-week box office is only 753 million US dollars. The box office was $4062 million.
Similar to "Food for the Soul", "Ins and Outs", which should have a domestic total box office of more than 6000 million, has also shrunk by at least 1000 million US dollars, and is expected to stop at around 5000 million US dollars.
In the final analysis, it is still a trade-off.
However, relatively speaking, because of the phenomenon-level popularity of "Ghost Story", the "length" this time far exceeds the "disappearance" part.
Regarding the just-released weekly box office list, the two Hollywood newcomers who huddled in the hinterland of the Santa Monica Mountains were just surprised. All over Los Angeles, film practitioners, large and small, who are not from the Daenerys Entertainment series, are all different. It's a heart scratching lung with mixed flavors.
Still let people live? !
From 1997 to now, from "BJ's Single Diary" on Valentine's Day to drag two British younger brothers, "Alien 2", "Cable TV Repairman", "Ghost of Terror" and "Taken" on Easter are four in a row. In the summer, there are so many "Face Changing", "Tornado", "American Pie", "Independence Day" and even "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".
When the summer file ended, I finally felt that it was time to slow down and let everyone play. In September, the dark horse "Six Heroes of Light Pig" came first, and at the end of the month, there was another "Ghost Story" Wang Zha, which directly locked the whole world. October.
Daenerys is the only company left to co-author Hollywood? !
However, with Daenerys Entertainment's current strength in Hollywood, all resentment can only be incompetent rage after all.
Even after resentment, whether it is industry executives or director stars, they couldn't help but start to wonder whether it is possible to switch jobs or cooperate with Daenerys Entertainment.
In the end, we still have to have a meal, who is not right?
As for the small number of movie company bosses, as long as they are alive, what else can they do?
Even if you buy a desperado to kill Simon Westeros, not to mention whether he will be evaporated by the whole family in the same way that Westeros wiped out the entire mafia family in Italy, it will be done, Daenerys Entertainment Still there.
Power is established.
As for seeking administrative measures, such as anti-monopoly against Daenerys Entertainment, there is probably no one in Hollywood that has a closer relationship with Washington than Daenerys Entertainment.
So you can only imagine it.
For example, going back to ten years ago, everyone pooled some money and bribed the doctor to keep a certain lunatic in the Watsonville Mental Hospital forever.
How good.
Mountain condos in Santa Monica.
The two girls just sighed with emotion, and hurriedly started preparing breakfast.
Today is still a busy day.
After filling their stomachs and taking care of themselves, the two girls went out, got into the car quickly under the flashing lights of the paparazzi who had already started watching them, and rushed to the nearby Daenerys Studios.
Chapter 1183 No place for little white rabbits
Chapter 1183 A Place Without a Little White Rabbit Cross the Santa Monica Intermountain Highway and enter Daenerys Studios from the northern entrance, and come to the parking lot of the third-floor administrative area of the studio. The time is not yet nine o'clock in the morning, enough to accommodate The parking lot of hundreds of cars is already densely packed, and there are people coming and going in a hurry, full of a kind of vitality and strong vitality.
Amy asked Jessica, who was in the co-pilot, to get out of the car and search for a while, before finding an empty space in the inner corner of the parking lot, and drove over quickly.
After parking the car, the two women walked towards the office building side by side. Amy looked around and said with some inexplicable pride because she had just participated in a blockbuster movie of Daenerys Entertainment: "There are so many people, Paramount and Comparing Fox’s set here, it’s like a nursing home.”
"I think so."
As Jessica said, she happened to turn around an intersection, and saw a tall black-haired girl wearing sunglasses passing them head-on and walking towards another office building. The biggest shortcoming is not even as good as Amy's. During this period of time, her agent suggested that she have plastic surgery.
It's not that I don't want to, but mainly because I don't have the money.
Amy was much calmer than Jessica, and even turned her head to catch up with her: "I seem to have seen that one just now, is it a model?"
"Salom Harrow, in the recently released "Ins and Outs", she guest starred as Matt Dillon's girlfriend," Jessica reported the name, but couldn't help but add: "Now appearing here, It must be the kind that is not developing very well, or else it should participate in fashion weeks in Europe."
Amy felt the sourness in Jessica's tone, and smiled and rubbed the fire: "Maybe I came here to audition for some important role."
Jessica subconsciously said, "She's not the type Simon likes."
Amy asked with a smile, "What type does Simon like?"
Jessica froze for a moment, then gave Amy a blank look.
However, think about the girl who exuded a seductive temperament just now, with fair skin that has been popular in recent years, and there is no sausage mouth that is rumored to be taboo. The face may not be beautiful, but it is definitely not ugly. What's more, the figure is still so good.
Hey, people are better than people, it's maddening.
Amy tilted Jessica's expression and continued to make up the knife: "Also, maybe Simon will change his taste occasionally."
Jessica stared over and saw the smile on the corner of Amy's mouth. She quickly put her hand around her arm, and scratched Amy's waist with the other hand.
Amy's arm was restrained, and she couldn't escape if she wanted to, but she didn't dare to pull too much with Jessica on this occasion, so she could only beg for mercy with a sullen face.
The two women said that they had come to the entrance of a coffee shop on the ground floor of the staff restaurant in the administrative area.
The two female assistants, Lena Kane, who were waiting at the door, saw them appear, stepped forward, and immediately began to reprimand: "What was the trouble just now? Be careful, this is not your apartment."
Amy broke away from Jessica's claws, stepped forward and hugged the arm of the short, round-faced girl affectionately, but tried to rebel: "Lena, I'm a big star now, and I'm your boss, You should treat me with some respect."
Lena Kane also rolled her eyes, and entered the coffee shop with Amy, saying: "I was also about to say, you should give me a raise."
Amy was immediately discouraged: "Okay, let's change the subject."
Jessica seized the opportunity: "Don't, I'm waiting for the follow-up."
The words are not forgiving, but the intimacy of the three women is obvious. In recent months, although they are newcomers who have also been transferred from WMA, Lina has tried her best to take care of them in all aspects, and she is very professional. Negotiations, public relations, and schedule coordination etc. can be described as familiar.
The two women are not stupid. If such an assistant can cooperate for a long time, it will definitely help their careers a lot. Therefore, the two of them don't say anything on the surface, but they have a tendency to rob people unconsciously.After all, with the promotion of coffee status, it is definitely not suitable for them to share an assistant in the future.
Moreover, Lena is obviously a very independent person. If Amy really plays the boss's temper, she will probably be fired in turn.
Everyone entered the coffee shop and sat down. After ordering coffee, Lena quickly took out a few pages of the script and handed them over: "Jason has to deal with some things at the moment, and he will be here in half an hour. This is the audition for "Celebrities". Familiarize yourself with the script as soon as possible, and the official audition starts at 10 o'clock. Also, bad news, Jesse, the heroine of "Elizabeth" has been confirmed, and the afternoon audition has been cancelled."
"Elizabeth" is the latest project of the former Tentative Films team under Gaomen Films, which specializes in British films, and tells the legendary story of Queen Elizabeth I of England.
Continuously produced hit films such as "Four Weddings and a Funeral", "BJ's Diary", "Six Heroes of a Pig", etc. Every project of the British team under Gaomen Films has attracted Hollywood attention. Sen Buster tried to get them an audition opportunity, thinking that Amy, as the heroine of "Ghost Story", was more likely to be noticed, but it turned out that Jessica Chastain was shortlisted.
Amy's image is too far from Elizabeth I.
For this audition, Jessica has been rushing to train her British accent every day during the promotion of "Ghost Story" recently, but she didn't expect that the audition would be canceled suddenly.
The hand holding the script in her hand tightened subconsciously, Jessica looked disappointed and asked, "What's going on?"
"It's an actress from Australia named Cate Blanchett," Lena said, leaning over slightly and lowering her voice: "Jason called and asked, and Simon made the decision himself."
Jessica didn't know what to say for a while, but Amy tried her best to suppress the little schadenfreude in her heart, but she couldn't help asking in a low voice, "Isn't that Kate beautiful?"
Lena pulled out a photo from her satchel like a conjuring hand and handed two to Amy.
The two women looked over together, and Amy subconsciously said, "The nose is a bit big, isn't it the type Simon likes?"
"If Simon only chose the beautiful girl he likes as the heroine, you shouldn't be here now, and he can't make what he is doing now." Lena said, and explained: "Kate graduated from the Sydney National Academy of Drama, Having acted in dramas for five years before, and being nominated for the Australian Green House Award for the heroine Fiorina in "Hamlet", Simon presumes she has no problems at all."
The two women didn't know about the Green Room Award, but thought it was about the same as the Tony Award in the United States. Jessica, who just played a supporting role, was really incomparable.
Lina took back the photo and said, "Okay, let's read your script quickly, because they are all small roles, and it is very likely that you will win this "Celebrity" together."
Jessica looked at the script in her hand in silence.
Amy was gossiping with a bit of disgust: "Lena, this, Woody Allen, that, a few years ago..."
Lena interrupted her: "Be realistic, Amy, if that incident happens again in the future, you should draw a clear line publicly. Now, participating in a Woody Allen movie, even if it's just showing your face, is very important to women. For actors, it’s gold-plated. If you have a mental cleanliness, the advice I can give you is to go back to your Colorado, find a simple and honest farmer as a husband, go to church every week, have eight children, and try to raise them all. Devout Puritans."
Amy stuck out her tongue, didn't dare to say any more, and complimented: "Lena, I didn't expect you to be so talented, and you conceived a script in ten seconds."
"Do you want to act?" Lena rolled her eyes, and then said: "Also, since the audition for "Elizabeth" in the afternoon has been cancelled, I have already made an appointment for you to see the apartment, and the apartment in the Santa Monica Mountains cannot be sold anymore. live, and you also need to separate."
The small apartment in the mountains of Santa Monica was rented by the two women together for the convenience of filming "Ghost Story".
However, after hearing this, Amy sang against her assistant: "Lena, Jesse and I are poor ghosts now, and we can save some money by living together."
"And pretty soon the tabloids will say you're lesbians."
"How could it be that there are so many men and women living together in Los Angeles, are they all gay?"
"The question was never whether you were gay or not. The point was whether people would think you were gay. If you were nobody, it would be fine to live together. It's different now, unless you don't mind your careers."
Amy could only nod: "Okay."
Lina took a sip of her coffee and urged, "Okay, hurry up and read the script carefully. It is said that Simon has personally paid attention to this project, and it should become Woody's peak in recent years."
Amy was curious again: "Simon paid attention to it personally, how did you know?"
Jessica also looked over curiously.
"I have my own sources," Lena continued, showing off her networking potential a bit, "Woody originally wanted to make the project a black and white homage to Fellini's La Dolce Vita, high gate Ella has agreed, but it was rejected when it was sent to Simon. Some time ago, Simon talked to Woody face to face in New York. He liked the story very much, but he disagreed with making it into a black and white film. It must be colored and rich in color, probably , in Simon's exact words, a kind of retro glamour, similar to the golden age of Hollywood."
Jessica asked, "Woody compromised?"
"of course."
"Although..." Amy raised her hand and gestured slightly, and said, "But, for a director like Woody, it's not difficult to find other investors, right?"
"No matter how big a director is, it's just a director. Moreover, after that incident, it was Gaomen Pictures who extended a helping hand, and Woody was able to come back. The last few films have also cooperated with Gaomen. How do you think Woody should choose? When Lina said this, without waiting for the two girls to answer, she said again: "So, because Simon is very optimistic about this project, even if you can't get the character in hand, you'd better show your face as passers-by. There are a lot of big group scenes in the full script."
