Heads Up Hollywood

During the two months of filming "The Avengers", Dunn was only accompanied by "The Wasp" Rose Byrne and "Agent Hill" Karin Varnas.

Of course, both Rose Byrne and Karin Varnas are first-class beauties, and for ordinary people, to be one of them is a great fortune.

For Tang En, it was commonplace.

For two months, with only two women by my side, it was somewhat monotonous.

Therefore, after filming "The Avengers", Twain's first task was to call all his old lovers over to enjoy and relax.

Penelope Cruz is back from Daredevil 2 and Monica Cruz is back from Rivals. This pair of Spanish sisters always brought Tang En great enjoyment.

By the swimming pool of Villa No. 2, bath towels were scattered.

One of the recliners was even collapsed.

Obviously, a fierce battle took place here just now.

Tang En lay on another recliner with a contented expression, and Penelope Cruz sat beside him, a pair of jade hands gently pressing his shoulders to relieve him from fatigue. The younger sister, Monica, knelt down and buried herself in the final cleaning work.

"How about it?"

"What?"

"It was the two of us just now."

Tang En smiled, "What's the point? Very good! You two sisters have never let me down."

Penelope pursed her lips and said, "When I came back from filming this time, I thought I could see some new faces, but I didn't expect...they were all acquaintances, and even a few people left. What? Are you going to calm down?"

In addition to several girlfriends, Tang En also has some regular partners who live in his mansion.

For example, the Cruz sisters in Villa No. 2, the two Australian supermodels Miranda Kerr and Megan Gale in Villa No. 4, and the two Canadian supermodels Rachel Lefeffer and Karin Varnas in Villa No. 5. Beauties, Eva Green and Marion Cotillard of Villa 6 are two French stunners.

Originally, there was Anne Hathaway.

And Natalie Martinez and Jessica Chastain of Villa 3.

They all moved away.

In the past few years, there have been quite a few old lovers who have moved away from Tang En, Liv Tyler, Nicole Kidman, Rose Byrne, Abbie Cornish, Naomi Watts, Charlize Theron, Milla Jovovich, and more.

However, every time old people leave, new people come in.

This time it was weird.

After filming "Daredevil 2", Penelope Cruz found that there were no new faces...

"Calm down? How is it possible?"

This kind of thing can only become more and more addictive, unless the physical condition does not allow you to stop playing and you have to retire. Tang En waved his hand and said: "Nothing!"

Penelope asked strangely: "Then why no newcomers come in?"

Tang En shook his head, "I haven't seen anything good."

In fact, this summer, his main focus was on the soft Korean girls, and he ignored the Hollywood newcomers.

"I heard...you found another pair of sisters?" Penelope said intentionally or unintentionally.

Even Monica, who was kneeling under her, stopped and looked up at Tang En.

Tang En raised his eyebrows, "What's the matter?"

Penelope Cruz snorted, "You're lying, it's been written in the newspapers! The woman admitted it, saying that she did have a relationship with you."

"who?"

"Sister Olsen."

Tang En suddenly realized, "Oh, the two of them... I almost forgot if you didn't tell me. That's right, there is such a thing, I have played it a few times."

"How about it?"

"not so good!"

"Come on, they're twins, they're still young, and they're much more attractive than Monica and I."

"It's so far away! You two are the best, and they... Even if they are twins, they can't compare with you! Huh? Penny, why do I feel that there is something in your words?"

Penelope Cruz smiled charmingly, and said half-truthfully, "I've been with you for several years. I'm afraid that you've had enough fun and don't want us two sisters."

Tang En frowned and said, "How is it possible? Just because you two are so caring, playing for another ten years won't be enough!"

Penelope just chuckled, patted him, and said angrily: "Ten years, how dare you think! At most five years, we still have to get married and have children. We are women, and we don't want you guys. Fifty is not too late."

Tang En sighed, "Five years is five years! Hey, I really can't bear it! Forget it, every day is one day less, let's not waste time, let's do it again!"

"Huh? So fast? No more rest?"

"Still resting? Your sister is about to make me angry!"

...

The production cost of "The Departed" is as high as 90 million U.S. dollars, bringing together Don Walker, Leonardo DiCaprio, Al Pacino, Cate Blanchett, Mark Wahlberg and other famous actors , can definitely be regarded as an A-level production.

However, from the perspective of the film category, this is really not a traditional Hollywood blockbuster, but a relatively independent art film.

What does independent film mean?

Films that are different from Hollywood's traditional producer-core system can be generally called independent films.

Independent films and the six giants of Hollywood have never been inseparable.

Every film giant shoots many independent films every year.

"The Departed" is the work of Martin Scorsese. He is the director, but he has the highest decision-making power in the film. Even Twain cannot influence his will.

In this sense, "The Departed" is an independent film.

Investment is not independent, but production is very independent!

To promote an independent film, there is a place that must not be absent.

New York's Tribeca district.

As we all know, Hollywood is the mecca of movies. However, in terms of geographical location, Hollywood is only the holy land of Hollywood blockbusters. Independent films have to be strictly distinguished from Hollywood blockbusters, so they completed their geographical escape in the early years and chose the Tribeca area of ​​New York.

Why choose New York is actually simple.

Two of the three highest film universities in the United States are in Los Angeles, namely USC and UCLA. One in New York is the famous New York University.

The film philosophy of New York University has always been anti-Hollywood, scoffing at the model of Hollywood blockbusters, full of irony.

This has led to New York becoming a carnival mecca for independent filmmakers.

Tang En started from filming "Titanic", and took over all commercial blockbusters. Even "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" with the smallest investment was a complete commercial comedy.

He has always kept his distance from the independent film industry.

Never been to Tribeca to join in the fun.

This time, in order to promote "The Departed Walker", I will definitely come here once.

Fortunately, the film industry is so big, and there is no absolute boundary between independent filmmakers and commercial filmmakers.

They are all acquaintances!

This time, Martin Scorsese will personally lead the team, including Dunn, Leonardo, Al Pacino and others will also attend the Tribeca Film Festival.

This is a film festival founded two years ago by veteran Hollywood actor Robert De Niro. With his strong appeal in the industry, it soon became one of the most famous film festivals in the United States.

In the previous Tribeca District, Harvey Weinstein was the formal leader.

There is a branch of Miramax here, and all the independent films that come and go cannot pass the level of Harvey Weinstein.

This summer, Harvey Weinstein was taken by Twain.

In the current Tribeca area, with no leader among the dragons, Robert De Niro has the posture of leading the group.

Martin Scorsese insisted on bringing "The Departed" to this Tribeca Film Festival, which is also to take care of the business of this long-time friend and partner.

Film festivals, especially independent film festivals, are actually a film selling platform built by the organizers for filmmakers all over the world.

Of course, a movie like "The Departed" is not worried about selling, the main reason is to support it.

Tang En thought that he would meet some old Hollywood acquaintances here, but unexpectedly, the first one he saw... were two Asian faces.

Lao Mouzi and the International Chapter.

The two smiled and greeted everyone humbly and respectfully.

Tang En was a little surprised.

"Director Zhang, Ms. Zhang, this is... are you here to be judges?" Tang En stepped forward and said half-jokingly.

Miss Zhang looked at Tang En with resentment.

Tang En's heart skipped a beat, he was startled, and quickly reflected.

He has slept with many women.

But the woman in front of him... He hasn't touched it before, has he?

Tang En thought about it several times in his mind, and finally he dared to grit his teeth to make sure that he really had nothing to do with her beyond friendship!

But, what's the matter with that little resentful look in his eyes?

Director Zhang's English is very poor, but Tang En's Mandarin is very good, so he said awkwardly: "Bring Ziyi here today... mainly to recommend my new movie to American audiences."

"what movie?"

""House of Flying Daggers", a martial arts film. It continues the artistic style of "Hero", but rounds out many of the regrets in "Hero"."

Tang En was quite surprised, "Isn't it? Director Zhang, will your movie still be sold?"

Selling overseas non-English films to the US market is no less difficult than making a "Titanic".

However, Lao Mouzi has this strength!

"Hero" has a North American box office of 53.7 million US dollars and a global box office of 178 million US dollars!

The production cost of the movie was only $30 million!

Such an amazing box office performance, even in Hollywood, should be given a standing ovation.

This is an achievement that even Kurosawa has never achieved.

With such an excellent past performance, Lao Mouzi's new film will still worry about selling?

Director Zhang seemed a bit ambiguous. Ms. Zhang was so young, so she said quickly indignantly: "Actually, in May, the North American copyright of the film was sold, but it was messed up later!"

"what happened?"

Tang En's face darkened.

In his heart, he still hopes that there will be a few more Chinese-language movies appearing in the American market...
