Heads Up Hollywood

If the "New York Times" publicly apologized to Dunn and Woody Allen's report, most people in the industry can sensitively guess what it is.

Then the next two major appointments of the "New York Times" need to be smart enough to judge. Only the bigwigs in the industry can taste the meaning of this.

Chief Operating Officer Janet Robinson to succeed Arthur Salzberg Jr. as New York Times CEO!

Managing Editor Jill Abramson will succeed Bill Keller as the new editor in chief of The New York Times!

two women!

In other words, in the New York ecosphere where patriarchy prevails, the New York Times has become a pioneer of the times, appointing two female executives with the highest content control power of The New York Times!

With two women leading the future reporting tendency of the "New York Times", coupled with the fact that they compromised with Twain as soon as they came to power, it is not difficult to see...

The future speech trend of The New York Times must be feminist-oriented!

This is the trend of "New York Times" and New Global!

Back in the past few months, the "New York Times" and Tang En had a big war of words in the media, constantly fighting over the debate about Woody Allen and weapons of mass destruction.

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, Tang En quickly settled everything.

Partnered with The New York Times!

This is simply the same as when he and Disney turned hostility into friendship and became allies!

The alliance between New Universal and Disney has directly caused a huge reshuffle in the US entertainment industry.

Viacom's current misery is the result of the joint efforts of the two giants.

It is conceivable that the combination of New Global and The New York Times...is likely to create a storm in the media industry!

Something big is going to happen this summer!

Especially Steve Burke, Michael Ovitz, Summer Redstone and others who had in-depth contact with Tang En, all saw a general trend like a historical trend.

It is pushing Tang En forward!

Unanimously, they secretly sneered at Harvey Weinstein, Michael Moore, Quentin Tarantino and others who had made a splash in Cannes, France.

If enough is enough, maybe a whole body can be left behind.

If you still dare to risk the displeasure of the world, and make troubles in the current trend... Hehe, even the gods can't help it!

...

"Shrek 2" is just an animation, and it doesn't have much competition with mainstream commercial blockbusters.

The main reason why cartoons can often get super high box office is because it is the theme of family carnival.

The United States is a big entertainment country and has a good movie atmosphere.

Parents often take their children to the cinema to watch movies when they are very young, which is not only a parent-child activity, but also to feel the atmosphere.

The first choice is of course the theme of animation.

Even at the age of twelve or thirteen, children can watch some large-scale movies under the guidance of their parents.

Knowing how to watch movies often becomes a sign of a person's taste.

This is also the reason why American movies can flourish.

In contrast, the film markets of other countries are not yet mature enough, and there are strict classifications. Some countries only love crime films, some countries only love musical films, some countries only love literary films, and some countries only love love comedies...

Once "Shrek 2" was released, it set off a wave of moviegoers.

However, this is just an animation.

This week, fans are paying more attention to 20th Century Fox's disaster movie - "The End of the World"!

Tang En paid a lot of attention to this film, and even ordered a copy from Fox to watch it in his private theater.

The reason is simple, this is a commercial blockbuster that has never appeared before!

In fact, this is quite normal. Twain snatched "The Day After Tomorrow" which originally belonged to 20th Century Fox. The production department of 20th Century Fox will definitely release another blockbuster to compete in this year's summer.

A TV station like NBC has to review 20,000 TV projects a year!

Not to mention a movie giant like 20th Century Fox?

Tang En snatched some movies, TV dramas, and reality show projects. It doesn't mean that other companies will be poor and empty, and some new species that have never existed in the previous life will definitely be born to replace them.

Without The Day After Tomorrow, there will be new projects to fill the void!

"Apocalypse" has an investment of 130 million US dollars, and the director is Mimi Ryder who once filmed "Clash of Heaven and Earth"!

It's a female director!

After Tang En heard about this incident, he was really shocked.

To let a female director direct a commercial blockbuster, Tom Rothman's hand is really big!

Of course, this is also likely to be in the heat of Tang En's promotion of women's rights.

look!

Twain called it nice, but he only dared to let Patty Jenkins and Sofia Coppola make some literary films with a small investment.

It is Twentieth Century Fox that has really made a great contribution to women's rights in the industry!

This is the first commercial blockbuster directed by a female director in Hollywood history!

Tang En was very curious about this movie. He wanted to see if "The End of the World" could have an impact on "The Day After Tomorrow", which will be released a week later.

"Let me just say, female directors can make good movies too!"

In the movie theater at home, Natalie was leaning on Tang En's lap, applauding the movie "The Last Days Come".

Tang En nodded and said: "Well, female directors have the advantage of female directors. They handle emotions very delicately. When the end of the world comes, everyone will have a different mentality when facing death. She can express family, friendship, and love so well. , is worthy of praise."

"Not only that, but also the insight into the good and evil of human nature, bravery and cowardice, true love and hypocrisy, steadfastness and betrayal, dedication and demand! I think this movie is not so much a disaster movie as it is a warning fable. "Natalie snorted softly, and didn't quite agree with Tang En's unimpressed praise.

Tang En shook his head and said, "Where there are advantages, there are disadvantages. This is normal. The portrayal of human nature is still too kind and lacks depth."

"This is a commercial film, of course it must be of universal value. Is it so profound that anyone will watch it? Isn't "The Day After Tomorrow" profound? It's not as good as this movie!" Natalie sat up and gave him a white look.

The movie is coming to an end, and the plot is actually very simple. It is the appearance of the world in the end of the world. It is a bit similar to "2012", but it is far from the shocking effect.

The emotional line is excellent, but the visual presentation is a bit poor.

To put it bluntly, the pattern of female directors is relatively small. It’s okay to shoot a little story, but to shoot this kind of blockbuster... I feel a little weak in control.

Tang En didn't argue with her and said with a smile, "Nat, when will the filming of "Star Wars" be finished?"

"Next month, what's the matter?"

"Didn't you start school in September? What are you doing this summer?"

"Follow you."

"Follow me?"

Tang En was a little strange.

Natalie wrinkled her nose and snorted, "You think I don't know? This summer, you're sure to get into trouble again! You're so stupid, I won't protect you, you'll be tricked to death sooner or later."

Dunn couldn't laugh or cry, "Am I stupid? Miss Portman, you are probably the only person in the whole world who dares to say that about me."

"Isn't it?" Natalie looked at him contemptuously. "The Cannes Film Festival is divided into an executive committee and a jury. Director Tarantino is only the chairman of the jury. It seems that he has the final decision on the award of the film, but behind the scenes And the Executive Committee! If it’s an ordinary film, the Executive Committee will definitely not interfere, but a film like "Fahrenheit 9/11"... Huh! It’s a French film award after all!"

"Huh?" Tang En's eyes lit up, "Honey, did you think of this all by yourself?"

Natalie blushed slightly, raised her chin, "So what?"

"George Lucas told you?"

"Twain, you look down on people!"

"Haha, don't fight, don't fight, no... Really, I'm just curious." Tang En held Natalie tightly in his arms, and then sighed, "I've always been against politics being involved in movies. It’s not that I’m neutral, it’s because people who make movies are a bunch of idiots, they’re being sold and they’re counting the money.”

French cinema is at the heart of Europe.

Half a century ago, European cinema was on equal footing with Hollywood, if not more so.

However, as Hollywood becomes more and more market-oriented and industrialized, France has set up a Ministry of Culture to specialize in films... leading to a widening gap between the two sides.

By 2001, France abolished the Ministry of Culture, less political interference, and French cinema began to recover.

However, the system of the double committee of the Cannes Film Festival has not changed.

The executive committee once controlled by officials from the Ministry of Culture...still holds the ultimate power!

The jury selects the award-winning films, and the executive committee selects the judges!

Most of the judges in Cannes are from Europe, and the executive committee communicated in private, and they will definitely praise "Fahrenheit 9/11" highly!

Through political means, with the help of the Republican Party, suppress a wave of Hollywood!

Even the Cannes executive committee cleverly chose Hollywood director Quentin Tarantino as the chairman of the jury...

Don't they know Quentin Tarantino is Harvey Weinstein's pony?

Are you not afraid of giving and receiving privately?

I am afraid……

Their real purpose is to use Quentin Tarantino's hand to push "Fahrenheit 9/11" up!

Use Quentin Tarantino as a weapon!

"I thought so too, but it's a bit too dark. Cannes...is the mecca of cinema!"

"The End of the World" is a commercial film, and it must have a happy ending. Both the male and female protagonists were rescued. Tang En and Natalie's focus is no longer on the movie, but on the situation of the French "Côte d'Azur".

"The Holy Land of Movies?" Natalie curled her lips in disdain, and said mockingly, "Back then, you took me to Cannes, and you convinced all the judges with a few words, and you made me become the best actress in Cannes smoothly. No longer. Cannes is no longer a palace of art, but a hypermarket of politics and interests.”

"More than that, maybe there are women."

"What do you mean?"

Natalie's eyes widened sharply.

Tang En quickly explained, "I didn't mean to look down on women, don't be so sensitive. Don't forget that European film festivals are Harvey Weinstein's hunting grounds. Maybe he is having a good time there."

Natalie said coldly: "Anyway, "Fahrenheit 9/11" will definitely win the award! You should hurry up and get ready to deal with that bastard who ruins women everywhere!"

"Well……"

Tang En touched his nose, quite embarrassed.

This wave of group attacks... the damage range is a bit large!
