Heads Up Hollywood

Dunn Pictures' new film project has quietly started.

The estimated investment is between 12 million and 15 million US dollars. With such a cost, it is doomed that "Wedding Cracker" cannot attract big stars to join.

It is no longer possible to attract a precedent like Nicole Kidman like "My Great Greek Wedding".

Three days later, Christopher Nolan brought back news that Danny Boyle was willing to work with Dunn Pictures.

You must know that the script of "Wedding Cracker" has not yet been completed. Nolan at most told Danny Boyle the outline of the story, and he happily agreed. This shows that this guy is in Hollywood. It's tough.

"But Danny has an additional request."

"Tell me."

Dunn has a peaceful mind. As long as a director who is a little self-motivated, usually hopes that the film he directs has some of his own style, rather than being reduced to a complete wage earner.

Nolan said: "We have already decided on the heroine. He hopes to have the right to choose the male lead."

Dunn immediately understood what Danny Boyle meant.

Well, the British always like to get together in Hollywood.

Just like Ridley Scott, Sam Mendes, Guy Ritchie, Matthew Vaughn, including Christopher Nolan, all like to use British actors.

There is a proverb in Hollywood: "The works of the British are never too outrageous."

It can be seen that the British people's conservative character and persistence in tradition are often the guarantee of film quality.

"Ewan McGregor can't!"

Dunn rejected him once in Star Wars, but he still doesn't want to use him this time. This person's acting style does not suit his taste.

Nolan said with a smile: "Danny has given up his cooperation with Ivan after the failure of the last film. This time, he is not the candidate."

"Oh? Who is it?"

"A newcomer, you probably haven't heard of it."

"Tell me."

"Jude Law. He came to Hollywood to develop three years ago. He has already had many movie shooting experience. Although they are all small roles, his acting skills have passed the test."

Dunn pondered for a long time, "Chris, you should take on a role as a producer in this movie, and you are mainly responsible for communicating with these British people."

Nolan was instantly overjoyed.

Dunn said these, in plural, which means that he agreed with Danny Boyle's proposal.

"Yes, Dunn, I believe if Danny is told this news, he will be very excited!"

……

The news that Dunn Films' new film project has been launched, and it is auditioning for important roles including the second male lead and the second female lead has spread like wildfire in Hollywood.

They didn't know that the director of the movie was not Tang En, and they all praised him. The director is really young and full of energy!

The female partners are constantly changing, and the movies are constantly being filmed!

For this reason, Dunn also explained to George Lucas for a long time that he was only a producer, not a director.

In any case, Dunn is still holding the directorship of "Star Wars Episode 1: The Menace of Ghost Man", and he often goes to Lucasfilm to make the film later.

CAA also called and asked Dunn whether he needed packing service, but he politely declined.

Endeavor also made suggestions and listed a list of actors, hoping that Dunn would give him some opportunities.

The great success of "My Great Greek Wedding" has made Nicole Kidman's career a qualitative leap, and it has also allowed Hollywood to see Dunn Pictures' expertise in wedding-themed films.

Even if the pay is not high, even if it is not the protagonist, it is an opportunity to appear in front of fans all over the world!

Tang En was good at dancing with long sleeves and dealt with them one by one.

In his opinion, "Wedding Crashers" is nothing more than pediatrics, and the acquisition of Marvel is the highlight.

It's just that the acquisition of Marvel requires a lot of money. Yahoo stock is the treasure in Dunn's hands. Unless it is absolutely necessary, he will never cash out the stock before 2000.

"Wedding Cracker" is his tool to buy Marvel.

It is said that in the face of the invitation to buy from Dunn Pictures, there was a fierce quarrel within Marvel, and the management and the two shareholders had serious differences of opinion.

Internal instability, debt crisis.

It is conceivable that Marvel Entertainment and Dunn Pictures will soon start a second negotiation.

However, when Dunn went full steam into Marvel Entertainment, there was a lion behind him.

Lionsgate Pictures, which has a strong momentum recently, has sent an invitation to take a stake in Dunn Pictures and complete cross-holding with Lionsgate Pictures.

Since its establishment in 1997, Lionsgate Pictures has successively acquired many small equipment manufacturers and distributors. After a year of accumulation, it has established a complete distribution channel in North America.

This is a feat that even Dunn Pictures could not accomplish.

And Dunn Pictures' finances have always been very unhealthy. Recently, news of the acquisition of Marvel Entertainment came out. The finances must be very tight. Lionsgate Pictures expressed its willingness to provide some of the funds.

When Dunn heard the news, he immediately burst into laughter.

Even Warner has to carefully cooperate with Dunn Pictures, and then nibble away step by step to complete the goal of acquiring shares and holding shares.

Which onion is Lionsgate Pictures?

This Canadian boss looks down on himself too much. This is Hollywood. As an outsider, do you really think you can do whatever you want with a little money?

"Let him get out of here!"

Dunn refused rudely.

In the face of this kind of ignorant capitalist, Tang En's attitude will never be polite.

Lionsgate?

Dunn's goal is to be in the six major film companies. He never takes such a small role in his eyes.

……

Danny Boyle is a humble and polite English gentleman. Dunn likes to work with such a director. At least there are problems that can be resolved through negotiation, instead of making a big noise like James Cameron and Alfonso Cuaron. make trouble.

Today, Tang Enlai participated in the casting of the second male lead.

In addition to Dunn and Danny Boyle, Christopher Nolan, Glenn Fierro and others participated in the casting work.

From the beginning to the end, Tang En didn't say a word, just wrote and drew on the paper until he saw a handsome face.

"Hello everyone, my name is James Franco, I am twenty years old and I have studied acting with Mr. Robert Carnegie. This year I just participated in the filming of DreamWorks' comedy TV series "Freaks and Nerds". A big role throughout 18 episodes. I have experience in comedy, so I think I can play the role of the second male lead in a movie."

Compared with those nervous young people who could not speak well before, James Franco is confident and generous, and it looks like he has an extraordinary background.

Picking up his resume and looking at it, it is indeed extraordinary.

His parents are both top students at Stanford University, and he himself is studying at the University of California, Los Angeles, a famous public university in the United States. Because of his love for acting, he dropped out of school and entered Hollywood.

For such a young man who is looking for a dream, Dunn will always give him a high look.

What's more... is it the famous Fu Lanlan?

"You said you were proficient in mathematics?"

This is the first time Dunn has spoken since his audition, which attracted the side-eyes of several other people.

Director Danny Boyle frowned inadvertently. The young man in front of him has a good temperament and a healthy appearance, but... it doesn't fit the role of the movie.

He is too prominent. If he plays with Jude Law, he will seriously steal the glory of the male lead.

This is a disservice to the film.

James Franco, of course, knew Dunn, and his excitement was beyond words, "Yes, after graduating from high school, I went to Lockheed Martin for an internship, oh... It's the company that produces the F117 stealth fighter-bomber."

F117 is too famous, the love of Hollywood action movies.

Tang En smiled and waved his hand, "Do you have any hobbies?"

"Music, painting, writing, my idol is Mr. Faulkner, and I love art!"

"Then why did you make a movie?"

"Film is also art, isn't it?"

Dunn laughed, "James, you are very good. I believe you will be able to make outstanding achievements in performance."

"Thank you, Director Walker." James Franco was very happy, "So, do I need to perform a section?"

Dunn shook his head with a serious expression, "No need, James, this role is not suitable for you."

"Huh?" James Franco's face sank, "Director Walker, I can do it, give me a chance, let me perform a..."

"No, James, you misunderstood what I meant." Dunn made a downward gesture, "Because of the positioning of the role, you are not suitable to play the second male lead of "Wedding Cracker", but I believe we will soon There will be opportunities for cooperation~www.wuxiaspot.com~ yes... yes."

James Franco was disappointed, he thought it was all Dunn's perfunctory.

Tang En said with a serious face, "James, listen to me, for the next year, don't take on dramas, especially don't make TV dramas, it will drain your public image! Go to a regular acting class to sign up and hone it. Acting. At the same time... it's best to find a coach and practice your skills."

James Franco is a real genius. In high school, his new mathematical algorithms have been published in professional magazines, and his paintings have won many awards. He is a veritable artist.

Looking at all the first-line actors in Hollywood, only two have published articles in top professional academic journals, one is James Franco, and the other... is Natalie Portman.

Franco's IQ is very high, and his EQ is even higher. He immediately understood Dunn's kindness, and Lenovo also emerged with a look of surprise, "Director Walker, you want to make a superhero movie, right? It must be, it must be Like this! I especially like Thor, and Daredevil!"

Tang En's expression changed slightly.

This guy is really not ordinary smart, he just pointed out the "action", he can think of it through the news of the recent acquisition of Marvel, I hope he also has such understanding in performance.

"The American people's favorite is Spider-Man!" Dunn gave him a deep look, and immediately saw that he was suddenly enlightened and had a smile on his face.

Dunn waved his hand amusingly, "Okay, James, you can leave now. I look forward to our cooperation."

"Yes, definitely! Director Walker, I will not disappoint you!"

James Franco looks happy, happier than getting the second male role!
