atypical hollywood life

Although Hollywood has been relatively calm recently, it does not mean that everyone has no work and no need to be busy. On the contrary, there is a storm brewing under the calm, waiting for the arrival of the summer vacation.At the same time, those behind-the-scenes staff are still continuing their activities, doing what they need to do, socializing and socializing, and continuing to work hard to build a prosperous and industrialized Hollywood.

For example, Margaret's agent, Mr., has been working hard in his office, and he doesn't even have time for vacation.Not only because the various contracts of those big clients in his hands need to be negotiated and dealt with, but also because the follow-up income from Margaret's movies is gradually credited, and he needs to review and transfer accounts with his client's accountant , in addition to a bunch of movie audition invitations to turn down.

Yes, don’t doubt it, it’s an audition invitation. Hollywood has never paid attention to such things as pregnant women can’t work and have to take care of their babies. In this place of money where the competition is so fierce that big stars will fall at any time, working while pregnant is simply too much. Normal!From the original Marilyn Monroe to Madonna Ciccone and others, there are many female stars in movies with rackets. As long as you control the time well, there is nothing wrong with it!

Besides, Margaret's pregnancy is a big sensation, because the paparazzi who usually don't take pictures of this low-key female star have begun to live in Long Island, even if they go out to go to the supermarket with Luke. The photos that can be clicked and clicked, you know, according to this lady's usual habits, the media may not be able to find the baby's photos at all. After all, she even paid for the wedding directly out of her own pocket, without even a sponsor. Not to mention playing rights.The only way to capture the much-anticipated baby is by guarding the gates of her home and hospital.

But before that, here are some pregnancy photos of the national daughter.

In this way, Margaret's four-month-old stomach was still a strange sight.Of course, this kind of physique that is not very obvious when pregnant is not without it, but there are really not many stars. Just look at Catherine Zeta Jones’ bloated body during pregnancy and you will know that even big stars can’t do it in this respect escape the laws of nature.

So all kinds of messy news about Margaret's fetal instability, suspected miscarriage, etc., appeared in various gossip tabloids and magazines along with these photos.

At the same time, it also made many film companies pay attention to the attention this girl is receiving now.And Hollywood has always been a place of moneyism, and if you have money, you can talk about everything, so is there anything more popular than the Oscar queen who is re-elected and pregnant?

So naturally, companies that don't care much about pregnancy are sending out more invitations. If Margaret can miscarry during pregnancy, it can bring more topics and attention to the movie. I definitely can't miss it. !

Of course, except for a few big productions, most of these are invitations to independent films, and many crews that don’t even have a plan even directly stated that if Margaret participates in the role, she doesn’t even need to go to the audition and it’s OK. .It's a pity that neither Brian nor Margaret are brainless people. They are very clear about this aspect, and these people's plans will naturally fail to come true.

However, Brian personally rejected the invitations of several movies due to the issue of affection. After all, no one in this circle knows whether they will cooperate in the future. A broken face is better.

As a result, many very interesting scripts were rejected, such as "The Golden Compass" produced by New Line Films, which worked with Margaret on the "Lord of the Rings" series.

In recent years, magic movies have become very popular, from "The Lord of the Rings" to "Harry Potter" to "The Chronicles of Narnia", all of them are very popular, completely setting off a wave of magic frenzy, and successfully produced "Magic After Caution, the new line of "The Hobbit", which was temporarily unable to produce "The Hobbit" due to copyright reasons, has also focused on the series of fantasy novels "Dark Matter" written by British writer Philip Pullman. It is the No. 1 selection of movie heroine.

For this reason, New Line Company even made a condition that Margaret can enter the crew after giving birth, but helplessly, Margaret said that she would not take the film during pregnancy--'For the sake of safety, at the same time I really I am very worried that my IQ will drop during this time, so please help me reject any kind of movie,' said the annoying goblin Margaret—so Brian could only watch the heroine go from Fly away in the hand, enduring the heartache to reject the other party.

Similar to this movie, there is also "Charlie's War" produced by Universal. Tom Hanks has been selected as the leading actor, and Philip Hoffman, a favorable contender for this year's Oscar, is the supporting actor. It seems that this is another movie. The work of Chongao, after all, the biography and the background of Afghanistan, is still the work of the famous director Michael Nichols. Even if Margaret can't get the statuette, it is still a good movie that can add to her halo .

It is said that after taking the actress for three years, in Bryan's case, this three years has nothing to do with relationship issues. Most of the actresses are not good enough after winning the statuette, which leads to the quality of the film works. However, the shutdown has caused a decline in her career. Although Margaret has done a good job in this regard, this time she is pregnant and has a child. She needs a work of reliable quality to be produced in order to disappear from the public for a long time. After reappearing in people's eyes, "Charlie's War" undoubtedly meets this standard very well, but unfortunately it is still missed.

And the invitation to "A Week with Marilyn Monroe" tentatively handed over by the Weinstein brothers and some movies he is very optimistic about, all of which made Brian's heart ache beyond measure. It was all money and honor!

No way, who told his customers to be so capricious?

At the same time, the situation of Tom Cruise, another ace client in his hand, also made the golden broker very anxious.

After "War of the Worlds", Paramount, to be precise, Redstone completely broke with him!

In view of Mr. Cruise's strength in the movies he starred in and the distribution of benefits, the contract signed by the two parties guaranteed that he could get 20% of the movie's profits in addition to the fixed salary. This clause directly led to In the end, he was able to get a profit of more than [-] million US dollars from the final proceeds of this project-after all, the box office of "War of the Worlds" has accumulated more than [-] million since last year, and it is also very good at the DVD rental market, plus Mr. Cruise has made a lot of money in peripheral sales!Originally, this was nothing, but the problem is that the status of the director of the film, Steven Spielberg, also made the interests of the original film contract less inclined to Paramount, which caused a serious consequence. The cast ripped over two hundred million from this movie.

And considering that the investment of this film is more than 3000 million, the remaining profit after deducting all kinds of publicity and distribution expenses is only a little over 2 million, even if there are DVDs and various copyrights and peripheral products in the future. The revenue also doesn't allow Paramount to outstrip Tom Cruise and Steven Spielberg on the film.Basically, it can be said that in this blockbuster movie, the profits of the director and actors are far greater than that of Paramount. Can Redstone not be angry about this situation?

Coupled with the "Mission: Impossible 3" that has been tossing for several years, this fire that has been simmering for many years finally broke out, and the speed and extent of the outbreak were astonishingly violent.

So Hollywood, which has been inactive for nearly half a year, finally ushered in a small climax, and Mr. Cruise's religious issues became the target of public attacks.Not to mention the rumors of homosexuality that had been edited before were dragged out to flog the corpse, and this time, he was controlled by the Scientology religion, and several marriages were carried out under the interference of the middle and high-level church, and Rumors of agreed marriages and test-tube babies.With the help of Paramount, this fire quickly ignited the enthusiasm of North American audiences. Out of their hunger for gossip, everyone devoted themselves to this gossip event.

Of course, maybe Paramount didn't expect to make such a big fuss at the beginning. After all, there is a "Mission: Impossible 3" to be released in the summer file. Maybe they just want to let out some wind to hype it. Mr. Ruth's warning is just to draw more attention to the upcoming movie, but the problem is that the Hollywood media has never been a moral animal, and Redstone himself is really not an excellent actor. A film industry operator—running a movie and running a media company are two different things, and his success is more reflected in business decisions and mergers and acquisitions—for Hollywood, even though he has been playing for several years I have never really felt the cruelty and cold-bloodedness here because of my status. To put it a little deeper, Paramount has never been monolithic.

Compared with Warner, which is known to all Hollywood because of its infighting, Paramount itself is actually not much better!

To put it bluntly, this is an infighting emanating from the parent company Viacom. Adam Goodman, chairman of the film group, Rob Moore, vice chairman of Paramount, Philip Doman, Redstone's deputy for many years, and his loyal subordinate George Abrams... These revolve around Viacom Mu and the figures in the Paramount power center are constantly fighting for the interests of their own factions. Not only these outsiders, but also the internal disputes of the Redstone family are entangled in this battle without gunpowder.

Basically, even if Warner's top executives are often brainwashed due to perennial struggles, at least these people still have professionalism, and they are backed by the Time Warner Group, and their foundation is strong enough to build them for many years. No matter how much you fight, because the complex system will create enough restraints, even if it is not easy to pass a good plan, but similarly, a bad plan will not be easily released.This is much better than Viacom and Paramount. Although the dark tide is surging in private, it is still Lei Shidong's words on the bright side. This kind of complicated and simple internal composition directly led to Lei Shidong's Shi Dong's orders will undergo slight changes in the process of transmission, and Lei Shidong himself is not without enemies on the board of directors. For these directors who are not with him, sometimes they can cause some obstacles to the other party. , It's not too difficult to pull your hind legs.

Various reasons made the situation weird, so a period of turmoil that was supposed to pass soon after fermentation broke away from Paramount's expectations and became a little out of control.

In addition, the vested interests in Hollywood have never been good men and women, and someone will go down when someone is in the position. Similarly, if someone may go down now, someone will want to rush up. Mr. Cruise is not without enemies, but those The enemy has always been under his pressure.But now, Paramount has given these people a chance to pull the superstar off the altar and rise to the top.

"Tom Cruise and Scientology Past and Present"

How Many More Test-Tube Babies Does Tom Kercruz Want To Make? "

"Greetings from an Ex-Wife: He's Like an Ascetic"

"When will the fourth Mrs. Tom appear?" "

"Crazy or Genius?Tom Cruise's 20 Years in Hollywood"

……

Piles of newspapers and magazines with different titles kept appearing in the newsstands and bookstores like crazy, and everyone was reveling in the preheating of the summer file.

"Have you heard? Tom Cruise is going to divorce his wife again. This is the third one, and I don't know when the fourth one will come."

"Don't be funny, his wife just gave birth to a child, why did she get divorced?"

"But I heard that his marriage has been controlled by the high-level Scientologists. It has been like this since Nicole Kidman. In the end, the other party couldn't stand this terrible monitoring, so they divorced angrily. The current wife seems to be from Outsiders in the UK are less powerful than Nicole Kidman, right?"

"It is said that Victoria Hope was forced to change her religious beliefs and accept various restrictions within the church. This is why she has not appeared on TV for several years after they were married. Scientology has been controlling her remotely. .”

"My God, can't you consider the facts when you say this? Victoria Hope is Margaret Jane's cousin! This is not powerful? Take Tom Cruise and Margaret Jane In terms of Jane's relationship, maybe she introduced her cousin to him, if something really happened, how could this girl still have such a good relationship with him?"

"That's right, so you didn't see it? The relationship between Tom Cruise and Margaret Jane has not been as good as it used to be in recent years. You must know that the two of them often went out together a few years ago. But now? Hehe..."

"Come on! They're both married, okay? They both have their own families, and they definitely won't put all their energy on their friends! If you say that, please go and see the premieres of these two movies, OK When their movie was released, the other party didn’t come to support? Even if they were filming at the time, they would come to cheer their friends. Even if they want to be black, can they be more professional? There are so many photos and materials, please don’t look at them So blind!"

Or how can I say that Mr. Cruise has a high level of citizenship?This handsome but not girly face is really in line with the appetite of the American people, not to mention the older fans who grew up with him, even the young fans who are new to the pit.Of course, when there are many fans, there are also many blacks. The sudden outbreak of black history this time made these reds and blacks climax in an instant. This was discussed and debated in newspapers, in magazines, on TV variety shows, and even TV dramas made fun of it because someone broke the news that Mr. Cruise jumped on the waiting chair for patients in the hospital. !
