Heads Up Hollywood

In Hollywood in September, there is a grand awards ceremony, which is the Emmy Awards held by the Academy and as famous as the Oscars.

The 54th Emmy Awards will be held on September 14 at the Temple Theater in Los Angeles.

"Band of Brothers," which aired on Starz, and "Six Feet Under" both received nominations.

However, the Emmy awards ceremony has not yet arrived. On September 1st, the whole Hollywood is already boiling!

Outside the Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, there was a long red carpet, star-studded and shining!

Unlike Oscar and Emmy award ceremonies, none of the guests present this time is not a famous big shot.

Either the powerful executives of the six major film companies, or the well-known producers and directors in Hollywood.

Even... Rupert Murdoch at News Corp, Summer Redstone at Viacom, Richard Parsons at AOL Time Warner, Brian Roberts at Comcast, Disney's Michael Eisner was also present.

As for the big stars in Hollywood, let alone.

Al Pacino, Jack Nicholson, Dustin Hoffman, Anthony O'Hopkins, Mel Gibson, Crowe Russell, Kevin Spacey, Sean Penn, Nicole Kidman, Julia Roberts, Jodie Foster, Kate Winslet…

Basically, except for Tom Hanks, Meryl Streep and a few other people who were filming in other places and couldn't afford it, basically all the big names in Hollywood who could be present were present.

In fact, these big names in Hollywood didn't have much contact with Twain, and even Dustin Hoffman and others had never met Twain at all. However, when it's time to cheer, be sure to be present.

This is a courtesy question.

It's respect for Dunn Walker!

In the past few years, Tang En has made great efforts in Hollywood, and under great pressure, he has created a great reputation.

With his own strength, he accomplished a feat that even the "Big Three" of DreamWorks could not accomplish.

Now, he has finally fulfilled his wish to acquire Universal Pictures, which represents the recognition of traditional Hollywood forces.

The influence of his past film achievements and his current status as a film giant are enough for him to accept everyone's respect with dignity!

On the surface, today's reception is a celebration of Tang En Pictures' acquisition of Universal Pictures and USA Television Network.

In fact, it was Dunn Walker's enthronement ceremony!

How can you be absent from such a grand and grand occasion?

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Murdoch and Redstone to rush over from New York to attend this meaningless reception.

We are all smart people.

Even if many actors' IQs are not enough, there are brokerage companies behind them making suggestions.

No one dared to offend Tang En at this time.

I can't hold it anymore!

After Tang En wins Universal Pictures, USA Television Network, and Universal Music, he is destined to embark on the road of a media giant.

Since the momentum can no longer be suppressed, we can only settle for the next best thing and choose to cooperate.

...

Tonight's reception is full of heroes.

The degree of solemnity is far better than the various social parties after the Oscars.

Look at the awesome old guys at the reception, Summer Redstone, Rupert Murdoch, Jack Welch, Francis Coppola...you will know the specifications of this reception how tall.

Tang En brought Scarlett Johansson to attend, and whenever he was introduced, he would say: "This is my girlfriend, Scarlett."

Enough self-confidence.

This naturally also won Scarlett's favor.

The whole world knew that Tang En's girlfriend was Natalie Portman.

Fortunately, those present are all industry elites, so there is no need to say something clearly.

But when talking with Al Pacino, there were still some jokes.

"This is my girlfriend, Scarlett Johansson, who is also an actress." As the host, Tang En wanted to take care of every guest as much as possible, at least not to miss important guests.

"Scarlett?" Al Pacino was stunned for a moment, thinking that Tang En and Natalie had broken up, and felt quite regretful, "I'm sorry...but I still want to congratulate you, Miss Johnson is very interesting at first glance. Potential actor."

Under the matching of a pair of diamond earrings, Scarlett was less youthful and immature in the jewelry, and more noble and dignified. She saluted very elegantly: "Thank you."

Tang En was a little funny, and there was no need to hide it, "Natalie is in her senior year, and she is in her last year of studies. If there are some unnecessary occasions, don't bother her."

Al Pacino suddenly realized.

It turned out that Natalie and Scarlett were both Tang En's girlfriends, which was quite embarrassing.

Then, Tang En came to Michael Eisner, who was chatting with director Tim Burton very speculatively.

"Michael, Tim is my man. Don't you want to pry the corner?" Tang En whispered to Scarlett a few times and asked her to help entertain the female guests, and then he half-joked to Michael Eisner.

Michael Eisner laughed and said, "Prying corners? That's not the case. "Dumbo" is a movie we collaborated on."

"Oh?" Tang En's eyes lit up, and he looked at Tim Burton, "You agree?"

The heroine of "Dumbo" was decided by Tang En, and it was Anne Hathaway. He suggested that the actor should be Oscar winner Russell Crowe, which was not a big problem.

However, the choice of director is very controversial.

Disney nominated Garry Marshall, but Twain thought he was an old-school director, and he might not be able to use the special effects techniques in "Dumbo" well.

But if Tim Burton directed "Dumbo", it would be less of a problem.

In the previous life, the live-action version of "Dumbo" was directed by him!

Tim Burton said: "I learned to draw when I was a child, and the image I drew most often was 'Dumbo'."

Well, a childhood dream came.

It seems that Tim Burton directed "Dumbo" and has not run away.

"But I'm already asking someone to write the script for "Pirate Alliance 2", and the movie will start shooting next year." Tang En frowned.

Tim Burton shook his head and said: "I won't repeat directing a film, but I can be a producer and continue to work for the "Pirate Alliance" series."

Tang En nodded, but there was nothing he could do.

Directors with personality usually don't like to make sequels.

"Also, the heroine of "Dumbo" has also been decided. It is a good friend of mine, Anne Hathaway."

Tim Burton said without hesitation, "No problem!"

It's true that he has a weird temper, but that doesn't mean he's stupid.

Tang En's "good friend"... the meaning is obvious.

"How is it? The review of M\u0026A transactions is coming to an end, right?" Michael Eisner naturally changed the subject.

Tang En nodded and said: "The American side said the day after tomorrow, and the French side... In short, it's not a big problem, it's just a few days ago."

Michael Eisner looked at him with a smile, "It's actually quite risky for you to hold a reception at this time."

If the review fails, then Tang En's enthronement reception will be completely reduced to a laughing stock.

The corner of Tang En's mouth curled up, very calmly: "Everything is under control!"

"oh?"

"I have already invited Mr. Giuliani to serve as a consultant for Tang En Pictures."

"Giuliani?" Michael Eisner's complexion suddenly changed, "Rudy Giuliani?"

Tang En smiled slightly, "That's right. Many years ago, when Mr. Hawking gave a speech at Columbia University, we had an intersection. After the '9.11 incident' broke out, we had many pleasant exchanges in New York."

Michael Eisner's face was very strange, and he felt a slight chill behind his back.

Tang En's game of chess is really big!

Rudy Giuliani, the last mayor of New York City, made outstanding contributions during his tenure. Especially after the "9.11" broke out, as mayor, he was famous all over the world for his outstanding leadership ability, and was honored as "the mayor of the United States".

He also became "Time" magazine's Person of the Year last year and was awarded a knighthood by the Queen of England.

Rudy Giuliani has powerful resources and capabilities in politics, and even if he wants to run for the president of the United States, it is very possible.

However, after retiring from the position of mayor of New York, he decided to enter the business world, made money, and established a bond investment company.

Unexpectedly, he was recruited by Tang En and became a consultant of Tang En Pictures!

Before that, Tang En Pictures already had a famous consultant, Jack Welch.

What does this consultant position mean?

After Tang En Pictures goes public, whether it's Jack Welch or Rudy Giuliani, they will all be directors or independent directors of Tang En Pictures!

One is a legend in the business world, and the other is an elite in the political world!

Michael Eisner was beating a drum in his heart, and was shocked by Tang En's rapid growth.

Disney's hiring of politician George Mitchell as a director began after Michael Eisner suffered a loss from Redstone.

But right now, the development of Tang En Pictures is going smoothly, and this kid has already planned for a rainy day.

"Could it be... is he really the legendary genius?"

Michael Eisner was very conceited, but at this moment, he couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional. Twain might really be like what many media reports said, he was a genius! Genius of geniuses!

No wonder Tang En held such a grand "enthronement reception" with great fanfare before the approval process was completed.

What kind of inside information can't be obtained with Rudy Giuliani's connections?

Michael Eisner took a deep breath, tried his best to control the shock in his heart, forced a smile, and lowered his voice: "I saw that Lei Shidong is also here?"

"Well, please join me." Tang En was very indifferent.

Michael Eisner frowned, "The competition between ABC and CBS is getting fiercer."

Tang En said: "I know. But, the cooperation between Tang En Pictures and Disney is very happy. Before ABC and CBS, if possible, I will definitely choose ABC."

Michael Eisner laughed with satisfaction.

He knew that Tang En had hated Lei Shidong for a long time!
