Heads Up Hollywood

When the time came to June, the heat wave of "Star Wars Episode 1: The Menace of the Phantom Man" began to spread across the ocean and spread around the world.

Although in North America, this movie has been released for more than ten days, but the popularity has not diminished, and the grand occasion is unprecedented, even surpassing when "Titanic" was released that year.

The major film companies have shied away. At this time, the films competing with "Star Wars" are all cannon fodder, and no one will use their own flagship films to be released during this period.

New Line Cinema's "Aces 2," June 11; Disney's "Tarzan," June 16; Paramount's "The General's Daughter," June 18; Sony Pictures "Fake Dad" released on June 25; Warner's "Wild Storm" released on June 30; Paramount's "South Park" released on June 30...

Throughout June, the major film companies fought like crazy to grab the film market.

What's interesting is that everyone has avoided the schedule in early June, leaving a full ten-day window for "Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace".

There's no way, they would rather fight each other to death than be wiped out in the frenzy of Star Wars.

The impression left by "Titanic" is too deep!

At this time, Natalie Portman also completed the final exam and came to California with her mother.

Shirley Hershler contacted her with a film crew, wanting her to use the summer vacation to shoot a movie. When Tang En heard about it, his expression was not very good.

"I disagree!"

When Tang En heard about it, he immediately vetoed it, and took Natalie's little hand, "Nat, I have arranged all your career plans. I will make you the most outstanding and dazzling female star in Hollywood. You can't Bad movie!"

"Bad movie?" Natalie and Tang En wore sunglasses and walked casually on the street, "You mean "Sweetheart" is a bad movie? I've read the script, it's pretty good, and it's Twentieth Century Fox It’s the main romance movie.”

Seeing that Tang En's expression was not very good, Natalie chuckled, "You're not afraid of me kissing the actor in the movie, are you? No way!"

Tang En waved his hand with a serious face, "Honey, I have investigated that movie, the investment is only 15 million US dollars, and the director is even more inexplicable. He has only made TV series before. Don't you believe my judgment?"

He was heartbroken.

Natalie has excellent acting skills, is more charming than flowers, has both talents and looks, and is insulated from scandals.

After the age of eighteen, before she got married, she never fell out of the top three in the selection of goddesses by various newspapers and magazines in the United States, and most of them were at the top.

But it is such an actress who looks perfect, but has never really become a first-line star in Hollywood!

Even after she participated in the "Star Wars" trilogy and relied on "Black Swan" to seal the title, she was still a short distance from the first-line position, and her salary was stuck at the threshold of 10 million US dollars.

How sad this is.

For the reason, it's similar to Nicole Kidman.

Nicole became a box office poison because of her manager's problems, but she has a good reputation anyway.

Natalie is sad, she has participated in many movies, the box office is poison, and word of mouth is also poison!

The reason is simple, Natalie's manager is her mother, and her level is a hundred blocks worse than Pat Kingsley!

It can be seen from the film "Sweetheart" that she gave Natalie that Shirley Hirschler has almost zero vision in choosing movies, and she was lucky to be able to take a film like "Stealing Heart".

Seeing Tang En's heavy face and pity and distress, Natalie seemed to realize something, and gently approached Tang En's arms, raising her pretty face, "Tang En, did I do something wrong?"

"No, you're right." Tang En shook his head frequently and sighed, "But your mother, Mrs. Hirschler, is not a professional manager."

With Natalie's intelligence, she naturally understood what Tang En meant, and frowned in displeasure, "But she is a mother!"

"That can't ruin your future!"

Tang En felt that his tone was a little heavy, and kissed her lightly on the forehead, "Nate, you will be eighteen soon, and you can make your own decisions."

Natalie curled her lips, "You don't want me to make my own decisions, you want me to listen to you."

Tang En said: "But in terms of movies, don't you think... I am more trustworthy than Mrs. Hirschler?"

"Um."

Natalie nodded without hesitation, "I believe in you, Tang En. But... what about my mother?"

"I'm going to tell her, I believe she can understand you."

Tang En was full of confidence. He had basically figured out Shirley Hershler's mind and was very sure.

"But what about Fox? I've already signed the contract." Natalie blinked her eyes and looked at him with a half-smile.

Tang En lightly pinched her face, and said with a smile, "I'll deal with it! Don't say it's just an initial contract, even if it's a contract, I can handle it for you!"

"Hee hee, I knew you were the best!"

Natalie raised her chin proudly, holding Tang En's arm, looking very happy.

"Nate, believe me, I will definitely make you the brightest female star in Hollywood!" Tang En put his arms around her shoulders, his eyes fell into the distance.

Natalie smiled and looked at her jokingly, "Brighter than Katharine Hepburn?"

"Katharine Hepburn?" Tang En paused for a moment, and the corner of his mouth curled up slightly, "It's just four Oscar queens, it's no big deal!"

"boast!"

Natalie nuzzled at her.

Tang En laughed amused by her cute appearance, "By the way, you finished high school, which university did you apply to?"

"There are three schools in total, Harvard, Yale, and Princeton." Natalie said lightly.

Tang En couldn't help but rolled his eyes.

He really is a top student!

These three universities are recognized as the three most difficult universities in the United States.

"After studying in university, what major do you plan to study?" Tang En hoped that Natalie would study management and help him manage the company after graduation.

Unexpectedly, Natalie said without thinking: "Clinical psychology."

"Ah? Why?" Tang En frowned.

Natalie said resentfully: "I want to study human psychology, especially you. You have three female companions at home, and you still flirt with your underage girlfriends outside. Don't you feel guilty?"

"Ahem!"

Tang En was sweating profusely, "Honey, didn't we agree, let's not talk about this topic."

"Why don't you say it?" Natalie snorted coquettishly, and gave him a big roll of the eyes, "What I said before doesn't count, but now I understand it, I must face up to this topic, otherwise after I go to college, we will live apart. There must be something wrong."

Tang En was surprised, "Nate, you think so far."

"I don't want to take a long view, you will be snatched away sooner or later." Natalie pursed her lips, sullen, "Don't think I don't know, Hollywood is a bunch of foxes."

Tang En laughed and said, "It's true that they are vixens, but I only have one queen, and that is Amidala." (Queen and queen are the same word queen.)

Natalie pursed her lips and snorted softly, "They all praised me for playing the role of Amidala alive."

"Of course, my Nat is the best actor, as I said!"

"Will you arrange an agent for me?" Natalie looked up at him.

Tang En thought for a while, "Well, let me tell Brian, let him pay you the termination fee, you can transfer to CAA, he must be very happy."

"Oh." Natalie said without hesitation, "I'll listen to you, provided you convince my mother."

"I know, I have already thought about your agent."

"Who is it?"

"Hilda Qualley."

Natalie's eyes lit up, "Is that the agent you introduced to Miss Nicole Kidman?"

Tang En was stunned for a moment, "You know all about this?"

Natalie raised her fist and snorted, "I still know a lot! As I said, I have an insider, so don't try to hide it from me!"
