Chapter 742: Deadly Enemy

In Hollywood, I don’t know how many people are looking forward to such an event. Relativity Entertainment’s movies are released, and Relativity Entertainment’s movies hit the street. We take the opportunity to disintegrate and swallow Relativity Entertainment.

Relativity Entertainment has never been less troubled.

"The name Ronan Anderson has been synonymous with film success for the past few years."

In a North Hollywood apartment, Charlize Theron told Candice Swanepoel: "The fame of a gold medal producer is stacked with one successful film after another."

She said unhurriedly: "The project of "The Devil Wears Prada" was finalized by Ronan Anderson himself."

Candice Swanepoel asks: "Continued success?"

Charlize Theron glanced at the time and said, "The newspaper should be delivered, I..."

Before she finished speaking, Candice Swanepoel rushed out: "I'll get it."

Charlize Theron shook her head slightly. Even if someone from China did not entrust her with her, she still liked this girl very much.

This girl has not been soaked in the entertainment and fashion circles.

Two minutes later, Candice Swanepoel returned with a newspaper.

"It's Monday," Charlize Theron said. "The entertainment section should have the weekend box office bulletin."

Candice Swanepoel quickly found the relevant page, looked at it, and said: "The Devil Wears Prada is the box office champion!"

Charlize Theron couldn't help shaking her head and said with a smile: "It's really not a surprise at all."

"I think Ronan is a good person." During the two contacts, Candice Swanepoel felt that Ronan was not as difficult to get along with most people in Hollywood: "Isn't he friends with you?"

Charlize Theron asked back: "Friend?" She reminded cryptically: "Candice, in Hollywood, the relationship between people is not that simple."

She would like to treat Ronan Anderson as a friend like Keanu Reeves, but Keanu Reeves has never had unspeakable intentions for her.

Candice Swanepoel frowned slightly, obviously listening to Charlize Theron's words.

Charlize Theron asked again: "How much is it at the box office?"

"The opening weekend grossed US$37.84 million." Candice Swanepoel looked down at the newspaper: "It said that this achievement created the box office record for a movie starring Meryl Streep."

Charlize Theron nodded slightly: "Even Meryl Streep, an actor with poor market appeal, can succeed in Ronan's film. Does Ronan Anderson really have magical power?"

Hearing this name, Candice Swanepoel also remembered the person she had met twice.

"Sally, I've made up my mind." Candice Swanepoel seemed to have made a decision: "I will not give up acting classes and modeling training, let's try in Hollywood first, I am still young, and I will have time in the future correct."

Instead of going to a model circle with no foundation, it is better to try it in Hollywood, where there is an Oscar queen who can take care of her. Anyway, her cooperation with a model agency has expired long ago, and she has no concerns about this.

People are always growing, and Charlize Theron was not surprised by Candice Swanepoel's choice, saying: "You can take an acting class at ease first, and I will enroll you in a language class to lay a solid foundation first." .”

Acting skills are indeed not the key to becoming popular, but they are the basis for gaining a foothold in the circle.

The two chatted about Hollywood, and Charlize Theron reminded: "It's almost time, I'll send you to an acting class first."

When she went downstairs, she warned: "I may have to pick you up later, Will Smith has an event today, and I need to be there."

"You don't need to pick me up." Candice Swanepoel said softly, "I'm more familiar with it, and I can come back by myself."

Charlize Theron nodded: "Call me if you have anything to do."

Sending Candice Swanepoel to an acting class first, then went to the dedicated stylist for styling, changed into a formal dress, and before noon arrived, Charlize Theron rushed to the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills , came to the party hosted by Will Smith.

The party was called in the name of entertaining friends, but Charlize Theron knew very well that the purpose of Will Smith's party was to get as many votes as possible.

Needless to say, who doesn't know about the raging promotion of the Oscars? Anyone with a little brain can guess Will Smith's purpose.

Charlize Theron has already put her vote on Will Smith, and nothing else, which is also in line with her personality.

At the party, Charlize Theron not surprisingly saw Will Smith's two buddies Tom Cruise and Ronan Anderson.

As a smart woman, of course you have to go over and say hello.

"Hello, Ronan." Charlize Theron said to Ronan with a smile: "Congratulations, another movie has sold well at the box office."

Ronan said: "Thank you, it's all thanks to the creative team."

Charlize - Theron continued: "The main creative team is also your choice."

Ronan smiled: "Sally, I will be embarrassed if you continue talking like this."

The success of "The Devil Wears Prada" has made a good start for Relativity Entertainment's film plan this year. The number of films released by Embassy Pictures in 2005 has increased compared with 2004.

This Valentine's Day schedule, "The Devil Wears Prada" actually has a strong competitor, and the sequel to "Ghost in Mask" started painting on the same weekend.

In 1994, "The Masquerade" was extremely popular and achieved great commercial success. At the same time, it made Jim Carrey and Cameron Diaz famous.

Years later, the offbeat comedy finally got a sequel, but not only did it lose Cameron Diaz, but Jim Carrey turned it down.

The cruelty of replacing the protagonist in the sequel is fully reflected in this film.

"Masquerade 2" only earned $7.51 million in its North American opening weekend.

You know, New Line Cinema invested $85 million in the production cost of this sequel.

This is destined to be another commercial film that loses everything.

Also, a Warner Bros. release called Daredevil also opened this weekend, but did even worse at the box office.

Even Ronan couldn't understand why Warner Bros. had so many supernatural operations? Daredevil is a horror movie coming out on Valentine's weekend...

Is it because you want to scare the girls into playing in the arms of men?

It's no wonder that Warner Bros. used to have a good hand, but played a mess. It turns out that there has always been a tradition.

Judging from "Alexander the Great" and this "Night Demon", the Justice League was not wronged at all.

The ballroom fell silent, and Will Smith stepped up to the front stage and began to speak loudly.

As for the content, of course it is the black affirmative action that is still hot today.

Those present were not only Will Smith's friends, but also the Hollywood black group headed by Spike Lee and others, as well as a large number of white leftists in the circle.

Then there are the media reporters. How can such a good publicity occasion have fewer reporters?

In 1925, Harry Warner, the founder of Warner Bros., encountered someone pitching him technology for sound films, and he blurted out, "Who wants to hear an actor talk?"

At that time, actors could speak, which is not something normal people can understand.

In the early days of Hollywood, actors were not even allowed to have their names on screen so studios could control pay and contracts.

In Los Angeles in the early 1920s, Puritans who valued family traditions would hang a sign in front of the door: "This house is not rented to actors and dogs."

But times have changed.

Actors can not only speak, but can even influence public opinion.

In today's Hollywood, the political correctness and freedom of speech supported by the "white left" are the mainstream, and it has also created a large number of socially responsible stars, directors and screenwriters who pay attention to public affairs.

Therefore, Will Smith and "Crash", with an extremely politically correct attitude, have become the super favorites of this year's Oscars.

Even many people who have no relationship with Will Smith are supporting Will Smith to maintain the white left persona.

For example, the typical Meryl Streep of Hollywood white left actress.

At the party, Meryl Streep even called on everyone in a small circle to support the black affirmative movement.

Out of curiosity, Ronan and Tom Cruise went over to have a look, just in time to see Meryl Streep's rival, Helen Mirren, who is also a white left, joined the small circle.

"Interesting, you are so supportive of him winning the Best Actor?" Helen Mirren mocked, "Ms. Streep, have you slept with him?"

There were not many people around, but the words were too harsh.

Ronan and Tom Cruise left as if they didn't hear, leaving behind Helen Mirren and Meryl Streep who were facing each other.

"Know what I'm thinking of?" Tom Cruise said. "Maybe after a while, they'll be the new Joan Crawford and Bette Davis."

Ronan knew that these two golden age actresses were notoriously bitter rivals.

Tom Cruise whispered: "Bette Davis made fun of Joan Crawford in public."

Ronan nodded: "I've heard of it."

It is said that in the 1960s, Spielberg, who was still a little fresh meat, had a close relationship with Joan Crawford, who was still charming, and the latter even supported him from the bottom of his heart, so Joan Crawford The deadly rival Bette Davis taunted Spielberg, who had not yet shown up: "Have you slept with her?"

Although Meryl Streep and Helen Mirren's unhappiness occurred in the middle of this party, it was generally very successful, and Will Smith further established his own advantages.

There are only two black actors nominated for Best Actor. When Jamie Foxx was also pulled into the category of comedians, the two sides fought more for resources.

The situation of "Crash" is also very favorable. According to Ronan's news, the focus of "Million Dollar Baby" is on the best director and best actress.
