Hollywood Rhapsody

The incident at the press conference in Germany did not affect Sarah and Leonardo's good mood. The two went to Recklinghausen in a low-key manner and spent two pleasant and leisurely days at the home of Leonardo's grandmother Helena. Two days is really not a long time, but the two finally fulfilled the agreement at the Cannes Film Festival that year. Walk the road that Leonardo walked when he was a child, listen to the interesting memories of his grandmother, and take a look at the small The cute childhood photos of the handsome guy, and even putting on an apron to learn from the old man, "Leon's favorite" potato pancakes, this arrangement is really fulfilling.

For Sarah, there is even a magical "sense of ritual". She and Leonardo's mother, Emily, have known each other for a long time, and Leonardo is no stranger to her father Arthur. Afterwards, both Emily and Arthur sent congratulations immediately, as naturally and cordially as Sarah and Leonardo's friends, this way of getting along is something they have long been used to, but for Sarah, it always feels like Something was missing. It wasn't until she visited her grandmother's house during this trip to Germany that Sarah realized that what she was missing was called "Meet the Parents"!

She very much doubted whether her psychology was due to the 30 years of cultural influence from China in her previous life, but when she thought about it carefully, didn't the United States also have film and television works similar to "Meet Your Father-in-law"?It can be seen that the custom of "worshiping the top of the mountain" is common all over the world, so... Should Leon also go to his own mountain to worship?Sarah felt that it was ridiculous to say this small idea. She was always busy with work in her previous life, but she had never had such a mental activity track, but she was very eager to try it because of it. Unfortunately, her grandparents had passed away long ago, so she probably could only take Leon with her. Go to New York to meet the old Mr. Stern, and...maybe...the mountain she really wants to bring her fiance to visit is in another country...

Sarah on the other end was secretly thinking about her personal affairs, and her trip to Germany was about to come to a warm end.On the other side, the paparazzi did not capture Sarah and Leonardo's tour of Berlin, and the topic of "Jewish Museum" did not reappear, but the episode at the press conference stirred up an undercurrent on the other side of the ocean—a few days later. Personally, I know that the bigwig of Disney, Eisner, once attacked the popular actress Sarah, but the follow-up development of this incident came in advance of a storm in Hollywood.

Although the news of Harvey Weinstein leaving Disney has long been rumored, it is the first time he has been confirmed by himself.At a time when Disney's internal struggles are becoming increasingly fierce, Harvey did not complain publicly, but privately revealed that it is no secret that "he left because he couldn't stand Eisner's arbitrary power and bad vision". It is rumored that Harvey sold "The Lord of the Rings" to New Line because Eisner was not optimistic about the project, but who is not envious of the success of the trilogy sweeping the world?Years of inconsistent ideas in film development have made Harvey's life at Disney very difficult. He missed more than one good project "The Lord of the Rings", but the just-concluded 76th Academy Awards "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" The feat of nominating eleven statuettes in eleven items has become the last mountain to break the cooperation between the two parties.Harvey thus confirmed his decision to leave Disney, and "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" in Eleventh and Eleventh was undoubtedly a heavy slap in the face of Eisner, missing a big money-making project plus Forcing away "professional talents" like Harvey is an important dereliction of duty that Eisner was accused of in the Disney infighting.

It’s no secret that Harvey and Disney have a disagreement, but there are different opinions on where the Hollywood giant will go next. Most people think that Harvey will start his own business, just like he founded Miramax back then. It is not difficult to say.However, a press conference caused an uproar. Harvey didn't start his own business, and he didn't even switch to other industry giants like Warner and Paramount!

"Starlight Company? The company's development momentum in the past two years is indeed very strong, but Harvey is not a little talented to go there?" This was the first reaction of many people after hearing the news.

There are also people who are good at discovering the connection between the parties, and they have a clear mind: "Or are Harvey Weinstein and Michael Ovitz, the two 'difficult brothers' who left Disney, planning to band together for revenge?"

This idea seems reasonable at first glance, but it is too absurd when you think about it carefully: "Comparing Starlight to Disney? Is that the wrestling of ants and elephants?"

But Harvey Weinstein, that treacherous guy, can make himself lose money?What on earth did he see in Starlight?

"Starlight..." Speaking of this company, the high-level executives of New Line had a very complicated tone, and it was difficult to describe it in one word!

"Starlight!" Warner, who won the cooperation project of "Harry Potter" a few years ago, hesitated for a while. Although he regretted that this project could not be eaten by himself, it would be nice to get a share of the pie now. The more capable, Warner sometimes really worried that he would be kicked out by Starlight. Fortunately, Starlight is honest enough and not as despicable and shameless as the new line company under his own hands!

"Hmph! Starlight..." Eisner, the helm of Disney, just let out a cold snort of disdain.

……

When it comes to Starlight Company, the first thing that people think of is the "Star of Tomorrow" audition that has already sold the copyright overseas, and "Harry Potter" that made a lot of money and set off a magical storm, and swept the Oscars, applauded The blockbuster epic masterpiece "The Lord of the Rings" also has their participation, and of course "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" which is currently unstoppable and raging at the box office around the world...

Um, and there are...

There is also the most watched couple in Hollywood, the most promising and richest couple in Hollywood, but still occupying the headlines, Leonardo and Sarah!These are just two people, but they are two people that Hollywood and even the global film industry will not ignore. Their own commercial value is far higher than a blockbuster movie, especially after the release of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith". The value is even more so that many production companies are drooling, of course they can invite the two box office bombs to participate in their own projects, but they have their own company behind them, and they have a book that can make money, why should they play with you?Therefore, Sarah and Leonardo are like "Rising Star" and "Harry Potter", they are the big killers of Starlight Company!

There are too many film companies in Hollywood to count, and Starlight Company is very new, only a new member established less than six years ago.But no one dared to say anything bad about Starlight Company's performance in the past six years, because since its establishment, no film has ever failed!No film has ever lost money!

How can there be no compensation for making a movie?This is what many filmmakers often talk about, but Starlight Company can really do it without compensation. The production and distribution are incomparable with those film giants, but there are no fewer big productions, big box office and big awards!Starlight, the Oscar statuette, the Cannes Palme d'Or and other top awards, has a sense of presence. The annual box office champion and the global box office sweeping film family have more than one film, and even the "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" that is currently being screened is another one. The top three seed players in the box office rankings...

Starlight has only been established for six years, but it has been ranked among the top ten production companies in the North American box office for three consecutive years, and its productions have won the global box office championship for three consecutive years.Could Harvey Weinstein do it with another company?His vision is indeed accurate, and his connections are definitely wide enough, but if he wants to start his own company, he must compete with Xingguang for resources, markets, and opportunities, and Xingguang seems to be particularly good at this——

After seeing the sweetness of the "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" couple files, many companies have invited celebrity couples in the circle to develop new projects. As a result, the other most eye-catching couple has been pulled into their own bowls by Starlight as early as last year. In "Smith Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt, who are simple and honest neighbors, cameo in "Couple". The public image of this pair has always been very good, but the couple's masterpiece has not yet been developed. "The Time Traveler's Wife" is destined to be a money-making project!It's a pity... was robbed by Xingguang!

Clint Eastwood, who won the Oscar winner and actress, is very popular now. Both producers and actors want this old man. However, it is said that this old man has taken a fancy to a short story and plans to make it into a film. Movies, this movie called "Million Dollar Baby" is likely to be the cradle of actor and actress again!It's a pity... was robbed by Xingguang!

Martin Scorsese, who has been nominated for Best Director and Best Picture in a row, is said to have a new move. How long has the Oscar been catching people? Maybe this movie that is being written is the one that won the statuette!It's a pity... was robbed by Xingguang!

In fact, these drool-worthy projects are still small cases. What makes the colleagues in the circle go crazy, puzzled, and extremely envious and jealous is how Starlight snatched "Haha" from giants like Warner, Fox, and Disney in the first place. Lie Porter series?I don't know how many people are jealous of this profitable series!It's a pity that no one knows about the most successful preemptive opportunity this time...

It's more enjoyable to be the boss by himself, but he should have a lot of voice after joining Starlight Company, right?Except for one Michael Ovitz, it's him!Do you start from scratch on your own, or catch the express train of Starlight Company at the right time?

"Weinstein and Ovitz joined forces, are they really just to start a small film company? Where is the ambition of these two people?" Since Harvey officially announced to join Starlight Company, many keen people People in the circle have already smelled something unusual.

"However, isn't starlight alone a bit weak? The momentum of this company is too strong. With such a drool-worthy business status, I am afraid that it will not be able to escape the fate of being eaten by an industry giant like Disney, right? Warner and Fox seems to have been cooperating a lot with Starlight!" David Garrett of Summit Entertainment had such concerns. When they collaborated with Starlight to produce Mr. and Mrs. Smith, they were actually a little bit unwilling, because it was a good project. , cast Brad Pitt and other actresses, they should be able to earn a fortune... But now the box office performance of the movie has made them happy, but at the moment their attention is rarely lacking Focusing on the box office statistics of Mr. and Mrs. Smith, it fell on the acquisition intention proposed by Starlight Company.

Starlight Company wants to buy them?Is the first big move after Harvey, a general joined, aiming at their peak?David Garrett's emotions at this time are very complicated. On the one hand, he is still worried about the future of Starlight Company. Yes, his goal is to become a top player in Hollywood that can be on an equal footing with Warner, Disney, and Paramount. However, ten years have passed, and they have achieved very few results. Speaking of which, Starlight Company even snatched their titles before. project too!It's just that if "Memento" didn't have Leonardo as the star, would it still have such a good box office result?

"This is the 11th year of Summit's No. [-] year. I still want to work hard. Maybe there are good projects worth developing!" Bob Hayward, another founder of Summit Entertainment, patted his companion on the shoulder, His eyes fell on the letter of intent for the acquisition, with the same reluctance in his eyes, "Starlight Company is in the limelight right now, and we might stab some big bosses in the eyes at this cusp, let's wait and see! "

"Well, wait a little longer." David Garrett put the letter of intent into the drawer as he spoke, and muttered in a low voice, "Maybe when Starlight came up with our idea, some giants were already thinking about giving us What price is Starlight quoting! I heard that Mr. Eisner from Disney has a bad temper, maybe right now he is thinking about how to teach Starlight a lesson!”

……

If these two people knew that Eisner with a bad temper had already made a move, I don't know what kind of expression they should have.

When they learned that Eisner's tentative little warning was met with a strong counterattack from Starlight, this counterattack turned into the last straw that broke the camel's back, putting Eisner at a serious disadvantage in Disney's internal struggle. , I don't know what kind of expressions the two of Summit Entertainment will have.

As for the development of their Peak Entertainment!If you let them know that the people who took a fancy to "Memory Fragments" back then, the people who are interested in the summit and offer to buy it now, and the people who will steal the summit's turnaround project in the future, are not the famous Michael Ovitz and Harvey Weinstein, but It is Sarah Stern, the Oscar queen who is far more famous than the two, and their expressions may be even more exciting...

After receiving the news that Summit refused to be acquired, Sarah felt a little regretful, but this regret was quickly smoothed over by new developments in Disney's internal struggle. She didn't know what the two old seniors, Michael and Harvey, did. , but there is no doubt that they, as the two sufferers who were once ravaged by cruel tyrants, indirectly played a role in fueling the flames in the "Eisner internal struggle failed and resigned" Disney's housework.

"It's a way to vent your anger on you. Who told that guy to be so stupid that he dared to attack our Queen!" Harvey Weinstein's eloquence was not ordinary, and it was false when he heard it, but it was Very pleasing to the ear.

Sarah naturally smiled and thanked for this joke, but she knew clearly in her heart, how could Harvey and Michael's actions be so impulsive to avenge her?

"With Eisner's character, Starlight Company will definitely be disliked..." Even Leonardo, who rarely asks about the company's management, knows this, which shows how famous Eisner's bad temper is.

"Especially when our little Starlight rejected our proposals for cooperation a few times before, the flames were already on the rise. Now that Harvey is joining, the flames will definitely be even greater. There is no hope for reconciliation, and the rift is getting deeper and deeper instead. In this situation Now, if Eisner continues to be in power, it is guaranteed that he will relentlessly attack and pressure Starlight. Therefore, if Starlight wants to have a harmonious growth environment in the next few years, it is better for this tyrant to step down. "Sarah didn't know how much disapproval there was against Eisner within Disney, but she could infer from Michael and Harvey that the old tyrant seemed unpopular, calling him a tyrant and an old fool. It's not just the two of my own family, so these two seniors of my family just added firewood at the right time to make the fire besieging Eisner more intense.

Her attention quickly shifted from the distant tyrant to the handsome guy in front of him. Leonardo's change is too obvious. He really didn't care about these companies before, but now he not only cares about them, but also pays attention to them. Yes, he will express some opinions from time to time, and he is so proactive that Rick and others look sideways.

However, these storms far away in Hollywood only made Sarah listen to the excitement at most. She still implemented the "leisure and vacation style" obediently. In the "honeymoon trip", enjoy the warm sunshine of the journey.

The overseas promotion of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" is still going on. Following in the footsteps of Leonardo and Sarah, the movie sweeps across country by country like capturing positions. Janet even drew a hand-painted picture in her notebook on a whim. The map, along their movie promotion route, will plant a flag on that hill every time they pass by a country. At first glance, it has a sense of sight of the battle map of Middle-earth in "The Lord of the Rings", and it will be sent every day. According to the global box office statistics, the sense of accomplishment is even more overwhelming.

"I feel like I am following a new generation of emperors and empresses to patrol the territory." Janet sighed happily with Ada holding a small book.

"Human Emperor and Empress?" Ada slowly shook her fingers twice, and said meaningfully, "It's obviously Her Majesty the Queen and her..."

Her words stopped on the tip of her tongue. Before she could finish her last words, she met Rick's staring gaze, so her voice paused for a while before she finished with a smile: "Well...the queen and her highness the prince."

"..." Rick exhaled softly imperceptibly, but amidst Ada and Janet's low laughter, the corners of the mouth of the middle-aged man who was much older than them couldn't help but twitch.

He will never forget how heartbroken he was when he first overheard the conversation between the two girls about "the queen and the man-favorite".Obviously, judging from his observation of the mental outlook of the two young lovers, his boss was the conqueror of that night, okay?

…Looking at a certain conqueror who was laughing and discussing with his fiancée whether to eat a big meal first or feed a kangaroo first, Rick silently awarded himself 120 knight medals in his heart, and silently calculated "help the boss defend the male-sex- Dignity, how much salary can you raise for such a great contribution?"

salary?If Leonardo heard this request, he would definitely spread his hands: "Sorry, all the money in the wallet was used to buy rations for baby kangaroos!"

After the trip to Germany, the DiCaprio couple enjoyed the most passionate flamenco dance in Spain, walked through the Eternal City in Italy, fed the wallabies in Australia, walked in the cherry blossom rain, and unexpectedly became Japan The most beautiful scenery in the eyes of movie fans, crazy movie fans followed from Japan to South Korea, and enthusiastically followed all the way to Hong Kong...

When a group of people showed up in Hong Kong, because there were too many movie fans causing traffic jams, they had to work the traffic police in embarrassment. However, Sarah and Leonardo could not be blamed for causing such an empty scene. The local guests invited to their Hong Kong premiere are too popular!

"Originally, I wanted to establish a friendship before cooperating with the film, but I didn't expect the people I invited to be so popular!" Sarah stuck out her tongue cutely at the premiere, and her fluent Chinese immediately sparked a burst of cheers .

As a result, the next second, the microphone was handed to Leonardo, and the handsome guy said "Hello everyone", causing countless female movie fans to scream and almost suffocate and faint in the crowded crowd.

The decibels were so high that the photographer even suspected that the cinema behind him was trembling, and the reporter was so excited that his brain was roaring, but he was not infected by the cheers and enthusiasm, but heard Sarah's exclamation.

Forging a friendship before collaborating on a film?

Make a friendship before collaborating on a movie!

The hottest actress in Hollywood, the legendary Oscar-winning actress, is she going to make a movie with their star next?The guests present today are all top-notch wrists!Not to mention other things, only the actor Zhang who hasn't made a new movie for several years is already considered the headline of the headlines!

All of a sudden, the reporters were blissfully distressed: "How should I write the headline title tomorrow? The premiere draft that I wrote in advance seems to be unusable! The scene was really hot as expected. Sarah and Lai Leonardo, these two Hollywood superstars, are indeed so close that others envy others, but...but...who would have thought that there would be such explosive news as a Chinese-American co-production of a big movie! Do you want to cooperate?"

In the past, I didn’t know what to write in the press release, but now there is too much content and I can’t bear to choose. Happiness comes too suddenly, and all the news is so eye-catching!It seems that we must ask the editor-in-chief for a larger layout!

The author has something to say: Well, what!Awaited!
