Chapter 146 The temptation of Natalie Portman (ten updates)
As Liu Yifei's favorite female star, she inevitably lacks vigilance when facing Natalie Portman.
And because it’s an idol visiting.
It was clearly Tangze's room, so she enthusiastically took the initiative to be the hostess, pouring drinks, snacks, and fruits for Natalie.
As a result, because I was too nervous and flustered, when I was pouring orange juice, I accidentally splashed it on Natasha's purple low-cut dress.
"Sorry sorry..."
She was a little annoyed that she was too clumsy, and quickly wanted to help her wipe the stain.
Natasha stopped her: "It's okay, just change into a dress later."
Because of Natasha's generosity, Liu Yifei felt even more guilty: "I have a skirt over there, it should suit your size, I will send it to you right away..."
Natasha was about to say no, when Liu Yifei left the room.
She shook her head funny and asked Tang Ze: "Your girlfriend? She's very cute, isn't she?"
Tang Ze shrugged: "Probably...it can be seen that she likes you very much."
"Should? Can you describe it this way?" Natasha looked a little weird.
It seems that this Tangze is not a good man or woman.
They were all in the same room, and she didn't believe them when they said they didn't have anything.
When Natasha thought about it, the meaning of "should" might mean something else.
For example, this is the usual rhetoric used by the man opposite when facing women, for example, he has more than one girlfriend.
If he is such a man, he should be easy to handle.
Tangze didn't know what Natasha thought of him.
At this time, Liu Yifei was alone and had not come to pick a dress. Tang Ze simply got to the point: "I wonder what Ms. Natasha wants to see me for?"
Natasha didn't waste any time and took out the script and handed it to Tang Ze: "I like this script very much and I hope you will direct it."
Tangze picked up the script and flipped through it casually, raising his eyebrows: ""Black Swan"? Is it related to Tchaikovsky's "Swan Lake"?"
Natasha nodded: "Yes, I borrowed the background of "Swan Lake"."
"The original story was a script called "The Understudy" by Twentieth Century Fox Film Company."
"Later, a director, Darren Aronofsky, suggested changing it to the life of a ballet dancer, and he filmed it, which resulted in the current version."
"But Fox just bought "The Wrestler" directed by Darren, hoping to see his directing ability first."
"Of course I also hope that there will be a better director to film this work, and after seeing you, I think you are more suitable for filming "Black Swan"."
"Black Swan" was also considered a classic movie in its previous life.
Not only does it have high ratings and box office, it is also ranked among Douban TOP250.
If he comes to shoot, if he has time, of course he won’t mind.
But just reading the script is too stream-of-consciousness and difficult to shoot. Why is this talented actress so optimistic about him?
Suddenly, Tang Ze's heart moved.
Could it be that "Good Will Hunting" won a good award?
Only this possibility will make Natasha take it seriously.
Tang Ze did not agree or refuse for the time being, and asked: "What are the conditions?"
Natasha looked at Tang Ze, smiled ambiguously, stood up, and slowly approached him.
With Tang Ze's eyes widening, he leaned down and blew into Tang Ze's ear: "What conditions do you want?"
Tang Ze felt that he was a person who had seen the world, but this was the first time he encountered such a hint.
Are all foreign stars so unrestrained?
Of course, Tangze considers himself a gentleman, so he naturally wants to say no to troublesome transactions.
Unfortunately.
Liu Yifei didn't come early or late, but he came at this time.
Natasha didn't know whether it was intentional or she was really shocked.
One of them lost his balance and pushed Tang Zebi onto the sofa.
Liu Yifei outside the door was holding a skirt in her hand. She was stunned when she saw this scene, and her face immediately fell.
Tang Ze secretly thought that something was wrong and pushed Natasha away. Before Liu Yifei had time to escape, he quickly held her hand to prevent her from breaking away.
Three minutes later, wait for Liu Yifei to calm down a little.
Tang Zecai emphasized, "Nothing happened between me and Ms. Natasha. We were just discussing the script."
Liu Yifei was still angry: "I don't believe it, can we get together to talk about the script?"
These words made both Tangze and Natasha a little embarrassed.
Tangze thinks the current scene is too bloody, like a movie.
According to his experience, such scenes are often difficult to explain clearly.
The reason is very simple. He was caught on the spot and the evidence was conclusive, so the explanation turned into a cover-up.
Therefore, Karasawa simply did not explain, but retold the scene, leaving the blame to Natasha: "The thing is like this, Ms. Natasha and I discussed the script, and she wanted me to be the director."
"I didn't agree or refuse, so I asked her about the conditions."
"She may have misunderstood and blew into my ear, and then you suddenly opened the door, which may have frightened her, and the scene you saw happened."
When he said this, Tang Ze was sitting upright, with his chest and abdomen straight and strong.
Faced with such a straightforward accusation from Karasawa.
Generally women should be very angry.
Doesn’t this mean they are seducing men?
But for some reason, Natasha was not only not angry, but actually wanted to laugh.
She admitted that she did have the idea of teasing Tang Ze.
But that’s all.
I thought Tang Ze was a scumbag, but looking at it now, it seemed that she had misunderstood. Is this a strict henpeck?
For this reason, Natasha stood up and sincerely apologized to Liu Yifei:
"Sorry, I just wanted to see Director Tang's reaction, just for fun, I have no other ideas."
Maybe it was because Tang Ze kept holding Liu Yifei's hand to make her feel safe.
In the end, Liu Yifei did not accuse Natasha of anything.
However, the white dress that was originally intended to be given to Natasha was thrown aside by her, which was regarded as letting go of her anger.
Liu Yifei is not an idol, he died!
Natasha didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and didn't mind. Instead, she said directly: "Director Tang, let's be honest, what conditions do you want?"
Tang Ze thought for a while and asked first: "Your management company seems to be WMA William Morris, right?"
Natasha wondered why Tang Ze asked this question, but she was very smart and said, "Yes, but I can make the decision for my own career."
Tang Ze asked again: "Can you decide the director? 20th Century Fox Film Company is not that generous, right?"
Natasha said: "I will give my suggestions. If they know your resume, Director Tang, as long as the conditions are suitable, I believe they will not refuse."
Tangze finally asked: "What if the box office is not high?"
Natasha told the truth: "Actually, I want to use this movie to hit the Oscars, and I don't insist on box office."
Tang Ze fell into thinking.
Originally, he had already contacted MGM. As long as he followed the steps, he would be able to successfully enter the ranks of Hollywood distribution companies in the next few years and become one of the distribution companies that can distribute movies globally.
Judging from this, he actually doesn’t need anything from Hollywood anymore.
But the problem is, the above ideas are relatively ideal.
In the previous life, MGM went bankrupt and was sold in 2010. Because the debt was too high, reaching US$4 billion, no one was willing to take over.
To buy MGM at that time, Karasawa would have to pay at least US$3 billion, equivalent to nearly 20 billion soft sister coins.
By that time, will Tianze really have sufficient funds?
Although Tangze can acquire through share s
But at present, it is not an exaggeration to compare the acquisition pressure to that of a snake swallowing an elephant.
The main reason is that China’s box office revenue is too slow.
If you can earn global box office, you can make money quickly.
It's a pity that he doesn't have Hollywood channels and can't get royalties. It's useless even if his movies are box office hits in Hollywood.
Now, a good opportunity lies in front of him.
There is no doubt that "Black Swan" will definitely be regarded as a literary film based on the script alone.
He is the only one who knows that "Black Swan" will be a hit. As long as he operates well, he might be able to win a lot of box office.
Karasawa then agreed to film "Black Swan", but Natasha couldn't discuss the specific split.
If 20th Century Fox agrees to use him later, they should negotiate with him.
After Natasha left, Tang Ze was still deep in thought, and Liu Yifei pinched him angrily.
