There were not many people in the restaurant, and it was quiet enough. Gal Gadot had put down his knife and fork long ago, but his delicate face was crumpled tightly, and his eyes were scorching at his agent. ∽↗,
She was able to enter Hollywood because of the introduction of Natalie Portman, who was the only friend in the circle.
Pressing his lips tightly, Gail Gadot hesitated, betraying his friend...
"Gail, there are some things you have to think about!"
Blake is just a very humble agent of William Morris. Gail Gadot is his most potential client and his future hope. "They don’t want you to do much, but Natalie will The news of the best actress in the public relations Oscar can be delivered in time, and what you can get will be the absolute protagonist of a big production with an investment of at least 150 million US dollars!"
Gal Gadot's eyes began to flicker...
"This is not the marginalized character in "Fast and Furious", but the absolute protagonist." Seeing this, Blake continued, "And Nancy Josephson had contact with me, regardless of Natalie? Whether Portman’s impact on the best actress in the Oscar succeeds or fails, we can all join im in the future, and im will treat you as a first-class customer!
"Yes..." Gal Gadot finally spoke, and whispered a name, "Is this his promise?"
Blake shook his head directly, "Don't be silly, Gal, how could he personally participate in this kind of thing. But Nancy Josephson's promise is equally credible."
Gail Gadot gradually lowered his head, his tight expression gradually replaced by hesitation.
"One step forward is the opportunity to become a superstar..." Black continued to persuade, "This kind of opportunity is not something that everyone can meet in Hollywood."
Opportunities are always rare. Opportunities in this circle are more important than acting. Gal Gadot knows this very well.
Is the friendship with Natalie Portman important, or is it more important to take a step and become a superstar?
Gail Gadot slowly closed his eyes. This choice is not difficult at all, is it?
The absolute protagonist of a big production of more than 150 million US dollars! IM's first-level customer!
These are all unforeseen for her now, and maybe this opportunity is only once in her life. If she can't catch it, she will be like most Hollywood actresses in this circle...
She came to Los Angeles from Israel and transformed from the model circle to the show business circle. Isn’t it just to become a superstar?
Slowly opening her eyes, the hesitation on Gail Gadot's face disappeared without a trace, and she nodded slowly and firmly to Black.
In fact, it is not difficult to take this step. I believe that other people will make the same choice in their place.
As he walked out of the restaurant, Gail Gadot told himself.
As for Natalie Portman’s Oscar for best actress dream, what does it have to do with her? She got the Queen of Shadows, and it wasn't she who made the profit!
With a firm determination of what to do, Gail Gadot stopped hesitating.
Port of Malibu. The Duke sounded its whistle and drove slowly out of the sea along the channel. On the wide top deck of the yacht, Sophia Coppola closed the script, first looked at the distant sea and then at Duke.
She asked with a faint nasal voice, "Do you want Scarlett to use such a film to hit the Oscar for Best Actress?"
Duke shrugged. "Couldn't it?"
"This is a science fiction movie!" Sophia pushed the script back to Duke. "How is this possible?"
"If it can be done easily, I won't have to find you." Duke bent his finger. Tap twice on the script, "And the science fiction in the script is not strong."
Since such a movie can produce the best director, it is not impossible to make a best actress.
He said to Sophia again, "Scarlet still has her own advantages. She was born in a literary film and she is also of Jewish origin. The popularity is enough..."
Sophia couldn't help but curl his lips, "What kind of advantages are these."
"My dear, Scarlett knew you when she was less than ten, and you have always used Scarlett as your sister..." Duke spread his hand and said, "Don't you really help."
"Of course I have no problem personally. But..." Sophia shook her head.
"It's okay, I will ask your father out to play golf when I have time." Duke looked at her and said, "You only have to add a few words to those Italian judges."
"Okay." Sophia can only nod, after all, Duke and Scarlett have a deep relationship with her, "I will try my best."
She saw Scarlett walking up the stairs up the deck with a tray, and said, "Don't forget Leonardo, he can help too."
"I already told him when he came to find me fishing the other day."
Duke stood up, took the tray in Scarlett’s hand, put the drinks and fruits on it in front of everyone’s seat, Scarlett picked a grape, threw it into his mouth, and asked,
You What are you talking about?"
"Miss Scarlett Johansson's Oscar Best Actress Strategy!" Sophia Coppola joked.
Sitting next to Duke, Scarlett said, "It's still far away, isn't it too early to make plans?"
"This kind of thing..." Duke put the tray on the table behind him, turned back and said, "The earlier you plan, the more favorable the situation will be created for us, and the more sure you will be at that time."
Oscar rushing can be said to be a very systematic project.
Now that it has made up its mind to prevent someone from winning, Duke must make a careful plan to implement it.
After traveling in the Pacific for two days, Duke left the yacht by helicopter and flew back to Los Angeles alone. He was going to participate in the North American premiere of "The Flying House".
The premiere of this animated feature film was held at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood, instead of the Los Angeles Dome Theater where Pixar Studios previously held the premiere of "Ratuitou" and "Robot Walle."
The replacement of the theater, in a sense, also means that Pixar Studios has ended the high-cold route represented by "Robot Walli" and returned to the mainstream of business.
For many years, there has been an unwritten rule in Los Angeles that as long as the film is shown at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood, it will not be shown at the Los Angeles Dome.
The Hollywood Chinese Theater has always been synonymous with commercial films, while the Los Angeles Dome Theater is famous for showing independent films and literary-oriented films. The two are quite distinct.
Whether it is Duke or Warner, they are also happy to see this situation. They swallowed Pixar Studios, but not for them to make award-winning films. Pixar Studios has attracted attention in Hollywood, and it is not because of the "Robot Tile". "Force", but its animated films can generate huge income from the box office to the surroundings.
If Pixar Studios evolve into a studio that can only produce movies like "Robot Walli", it will have no meaning for Duke and Warner.
From a personal perspective, Duke likes "Robot Wall" far more than "Cars", but from a practical need, he hopes that Pixar Studios will have more "Cars".
This is business, and it is impossible to judge by personal perception.
This is an adventure comedy. The protagonist consists of two people, an elderly man and an energetic child.
They became friends after experiencing a lot of things. Due to their differences in personality, they would often quarrel. They would quarrel and take risks. This story brings laughter to the audience. Apart from relaxing, the audience can also feel what the film conveys. Some information for the audience, such as courage, or how precious a good memory is.
"Flying House Tour" completely abandoned the high-cold route. There are children as well as the elderly, generation gap and integration, dreams and losses.
In fact, its structure is not complicated. The two protagonists from confrontation to fusion are the usual tricks in movies, and the 3D technology makes this cartoon look better. It is the packaging combination of these simple elements that finally shows a not simple movie of.
In the 84 minutes of the screening, the adventure with tears and laughter not only amused the children, but also caused the adults who accompanied the children to cry.
There is an adult’s childhood in this movie.
"Flying House Tour" received nearly 70 million U.S. dollars in the North American box office within three days of the first weekend. In less than 20 days, it collected 230 million U.S. dollars in North America. In recent years of animation movies, absolutely It is one of the best money collecting machines.
This film has also allowed Pixar Studios to get rid of the trough that was previously unpopular. The popularity of the film among the public can also guarantee the sale of more peripherals.
For Duke and Warner, this is the biggest role of the Pixar studio.
Just like the earliest development of Pixar Studios, they created various technologies, but they were still the ugly duckling. It was not until "Toy Story" took the 1995 North American box office championship that it became a white swan in the eyes of everyone.
An unprofitable Pixar studio cannot attract Hollywood's attention at all.
At the same time, the screening of "Furious Road" is gradually approaching the end. Even the director of Duke has to admit that although such an R-rated film has won unanimous praise from the media and audiences, its theater life is far. Can't compare to the popular pg-level or pg-13 films.
The North American box office of "Furious Road" has now reached US$205.56 million. The theater market has been consumed with little potential, and the remaining screenings are just a routine harvest and a small audience.
In the global market, the combined overseas and North American box office of the film surpassed the $600 million mark, reaching $621.55 million.
It's just that overseas markets are facing the same situation as North America, and it is impossible to have explosive box office growth.
Duke's energy has also left "fury road", ready to start preparations for the new film "Inception. (To be continued.)
