Heads Up Hollywood

Chapter 116 The Biggest Winner

There are many gossip tabloids in the United States. Because the content is too outrageous and exaggerated, their influence is very low.

But Twain is different. He is currently the most talked about and hot director in Hollywood, and he is directing the super blockbuster "Spiderman" that has attracted national attention. What he said is destined to become the focus of discussion in the United States.

The Gold Club is on fire!

Many media and TV stations have introduced that the Golden Club is a nightclub located in Atlanta. The founder is Steve Kaplan, and it is the favorite nightclub of NBA players.

Because of the participation of NBA players, Tang En's words not only caused a sensation in the entertainment circle, but also attracted close attention from the sports circle.

No one is a fool. Some time ago, Bruce Willis made a mockery of "Wedding Crashers", and Tang En immediately exposed that he had been in and out of the Gold Club.

This is definitely revenge!

Especially when he thought of Tang En's strong character of revenge in the past, he would never target him.

The Gold Club... I'm afraid it's not just a strip club.

As a result, major TV stations, major newspapers, and many other relevant organizations sent reporters to Atlanta to secretly visit the Golden Club.

The Gold Club, at the end of 1999, suddenly became the most talked about nightclub in the entire United States.

And the fuse of the whole incident, Sobrus Willis, has not yet come out of the joy of the great success of "The Sixth Sense", and has fallen into the vortex of public opinion.

The entertainment page of the "Los Angeles Times" bluntly provoked conflicts: "Bruce Willis, have you broken the law?"

The "National Enquirer" directly detonated the bomb, criticizing Bruce Willis like a criminal, "As a first-line superstar in Hollywood, Bruce Willis has gained fame, status, and behavior. It’s too much. According to reliable sources, Bruce Willis goes to the Gold Club at least twice a month, recruiting 3-5 dancers each time. He spends a lot of money and is the girls’ favorite guest.”

"The Hollywood Reporter" also fanned the flames, thinking that "Bruce Willis's stupidity and crime are not worthy of his current status and fame", and at the same time called on fans not to buy movie tickets for "The Sixth Sense of Spirituality", "let To hell with Bruce Willis and his movies!"

Bruce Willis suddenly became insane, he panicked, he was shocked, he was terrified!

He and Tang En had never had any conflicts. The reason why he targeted "Wedding Crashers" was completely in accordance with the producer's request and for the sake of the box office of "The Sixth Sense".

At the beginning, because of the limited budget of "The Sixth Sense", the producer offered him "US$14 million + 17% net box office share". According to the current box office trend of "The Sixth Sense of Spirituality", it is entirely possible for him to get paid more than 60 million US dollars from this film!

For money, it doesn't matter to say a word or two.

But he thought that it was such "unintentional talk" that poked a big hole and directly angered Dunn Walker.

Bruce Willis's agency immediately launched public relations and held three press conferences in a row, of which Bruce Willis participated in two. Clarify to the whole society that Mr. Bruce Willis has indeed been in and out of the Gold Club, but he only watched a striptease show and did not break the law.

But a scandal is like a tsunami, once it breaks out, it is unstoppable.

...

With the outbreak of the Bruce Willis scandal, the box office of "The Sixth Sense" fell off a cliff, and the theater side was also very smart, quickly dropping from 2,682 screening theaters to 1,358.

In stark contrast to it is "Wedding Crashers", the number of screening theaters once again exceeded 2,000, and the weekly box office of the week rose sharply. The North American box office reached 8.47 million US dollars. It's about to cross the $200 million mark.

What is the concept of a $200 million North American box office?

Throughout 1999, before November, only three films had grossed more than 200 million at the North American box office, "Star Wars: Episode I: The Phantom Menace," "The Sixth Sense" and "Ace Powers 2."

It was widely expected before. The romantic film "Notting Hill" produced by Universal Pictures, starring Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant, only had a box office of 110 million US dollars in North America. It is estimated that after the screening is over, it will only be the same type of film "Wedding Crashers half.

Of course, because "Wedding Crashers" employs newcomers and its values ​​are too open, its overseas box office will not exceed US$100 million, which cannot be compared with the US$240 million overseas box office of "Notting Hill".

But this is enough to surprise Hollywood!

After the small-budget success of "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" last year, this year's "Wedding Crashers" has also achieved impressive and amazing achievements.

Even Danny Boyle, the British director of "Wedding Crashers", has become a hot figure. I heard that MGM intends to let him take over the "007" series.

Bruce Willis and Tang En played against each other, and "Wedding Crashers" became the biggest winner.

At this time, Mel Gibson, the top Hollywood superstar, suddenly spoke in an interview——

"The Gold Club? Yes, I know this nightclub. It's very famous. As far as I know, many stars in Hollywood have been to it. Me? No, I haven't been to it. I heard that there are some illegal items in it. I'm a legal citizen."

"I believe in Director Walker, I haven't had contact with him, but he is a talented young man, I admire his ability, and I believe he will not talk about it. Bruce Willis... To be honest, I find it hard to believe that he will do such a thing."

"As a public figure, I think compliance with the law is the bottom line. How can we allow a criminal to appear on the big screen and give performances to the audience? I don't know if this performance is art or a mistake."

...

When Tang En heard the news, he was a little confused.

Aren't Mel Gibson and Bruce Willis both entertainers under the WMA agency?

Infighting?

It's not like, don't look at the fact that Bruce Willis is very popular now, but it's not enough to shake Mel Gibson.

This Australian actor is one of the only four members of Hollywood who have received "20+20" salary!

Tang En was a little surprised, how could Mel Gibson speak for himself inexplicably?

Is there a conspiracy?

Tang En shook his head, it was difficult to understand.

"Twain, is your movie finished yet?" Natalie called suddenly.

Twain was filming "Spider-Man" in New York, and Natalie was filming "Girl" in California. The two were separated by two places and talked on the phone every day.

"Soon, within three days." Tang En smiled, "I'll go back and see you when the movie is finished."

"It's almost here on my side. Director Mendes said that the filming will be finished in another month. Let's travel to Australia then." Natalie's voice was full of longing.

Tang En smiled and said, "Australia? Was it Nicole's invitation? Or Naomi?"

"I hate Naomi!" Natalie muttered in a low voice, then lowered her voice, "Twain, you live in New York...with Jessica, right?"

"Ahem." Tang En was a little embarrassed, "Nate, why did you bring this up all of a sudden? I've made up my mind. I'll ask Jessica to move out of the house after the filming of "Spider-Man" is finished."

"Oh..." Natalie said with a long voice, "and Naomi! I really hate her!"

Dunn paused, "Where's Nicole?"

"Nicole at least knows that I am your girlfriend, and she didn't mean to compete with me. But Naomi is a bitch, and obviously has other plans for you! I hate her!" Natalie's voice was very angry .

Tang En was a little amused, "Okay, I'll listen to you, and when "The Girl Who Moved Soul" is finished filming, I'll let her go!"

"Yeah!" Natalie looked very happy, "By the way, you haven't promised me yet, are you going to Australia?"

Tang En was a little embarrassed, "Nat, the later stage of "Spider-Man" will go to the UK to produce a part due to tax rebates. I'm afraid I won't be able to find the time."

"But I have already promised others!" Natalie pouted, a little coquettishly.

"Who is it?"

Tang En smiled slightly, thinking it was Nicole Kidman. It is always a good thing that Natalie can get along well with her.

"Mr. Gibson."

"who?"

"Mel Gibson!"
