Hollywood New Century

Nicole Kidman is indeed on this side of the Venice Film Festival, not just her but Cate Blanchett.

Cate Blanchett played Bob Dylan in the biopic I'm Not There and was nominated for Best Actress at the 64th Venice International Film Festival.

The two Australian actors were in a restaurant at this time. Nicole Kidman was here to promote the movie Deadly Visit starring Daniel Craig. Deadly Visit was released in North America in August, and the word-of-mouth box office was high. Not so good, can only hope in overseas markets.

By the way, your The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is over, are you really going to go back to Australia to run an opera house for a while? Nicole Kidman asked the person sitting opposite while drinking coffee. Cate Blanchett.

Cate Blanchett nodded and said with a smile: I should go back and recharge, and find the feeling of acting on the stage!

Not bad, alas! Nicole Kidman said and sighed. After all, he is in a very bad situation. The first movie Fatal Visit released this year is still played by the new James Bond. It was co-authored by Daniel K. Reger, and I didn't expect that the word-of-mouth and box office were not good.

As for the magical children's giant Golden Compass developed by New Line Pictures, which will be released in the next Christmas period, the investment is close to 200 million US dollars, and it also stars Daniel Craig.

Nicole Kidman has been under a lot of pressure in recent years, and the curse of the Oscar-winning actress is so powerful.

By the way, Nicole, it's been in the papers recently that Simon Pike plunged into the Wall Street stock market. You have a good relationship with him. He's now delegating the follow-up to The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. The first producer of this movie! Cate Blanchett doesn't know much about the situation on Wall Street, but she still cares about the movie.

Hey, I don't know. I saw it in Los Angeles before, and he recommended me to invest in a small-budget literary film, Nicole Kidman said and continued:

I know that he has a nine-headed bird fund company that operates his assets, and then launched a private equity fund called Phoenix Fund. Part of my assets are handed over to Phoenix Fund for management, Nicole Kidman may really be I should be glad that I helped Simon Parker to develop the successful movie Juno, which not only made me a lot of money, but also allowed Simon Parker to open up the glory of Xinghai Pictures.

Before Simon suggested that he sell some properties as soon as possible, sure enough, the prices of the properties are starting to fall.

So it is! Cate Blanchett can only congratulate Nicole Kidman. In the past three years, Xinghai Pictures has prospered under the leadership of Simon Pike, and the rising momentum is so obvious.

Nicole Kidman's current influence is much greater than her own, her exposure is immeasurable, and the awards even have the top title of Oscar for Best Actress.

By the way, your reverse performance in I'm Not There is great, and it is very likely that you will win the best actress at the Venice Film Festival! Nicole Kidman herself just came to promote the movie as an invited guest, Kate Blanchett is competing!

Just as Nicole Kidman finished speaking, the female assistant came over and said a few words in Nicole Kidman's ear.

Nicole Kidman frowned, then smiled: I'll go take a call!

Harvey, is something wrong? Nicole Kidman said in a non-salty tone, and it was Harvey Weinstein who called.

Nothing important. I heard that you came to Venice too. We are holding a small private reception here. How about you come and meet everyone? A voice came from the other end of the phone.

Is that so? However, I have something to do now, and I have a movie promotion meeting to attend tomorrow, why don't I have a chance to talk about it later? Nicole Kidman is now about to draw a line from this guy, Otherwise, you will really lose the thigh of Xinghai Pictures.

You... Harvey Weinstein hung up the phone angrily and declined!

Harvey Weinstein, who was standing in the aisle, patted the wall and was really angry.

Nicole Kidman is completely disrespectful to herself, and she doesn't come to dinner or the small cocktail party.

Afterwards, Harvey Weinstein entered the room to continue chatting with director Rob Marshall about a movie - Nine!

Rob Marshall's 2002 musical Chicago won the Oscar for best picture, and Nine is also a musical.

Weinstein Pictures and Relativity Entertainment invested in production and distribution, of course, was done by Weinstein Pictures.

Rob Marshall directed Sony's Memoirs of a Geisha in 2005, which failed at the box office, and this time he returned to the musical film he was good at and wanted to revive it.

Rob, isn't the $90 million budget too high? Harvey Weinstein knocked on the table, although Relativity Entertainment will participate in the investment, but such a musical, such a high budget!

Harvey, I hope to use the most suitable actors for the film, and the scene construction should also meet the requirements of the film. This budget is really not high, Rob Marshall, who has won the Oscar for best director, a film Chicago has proven itself.

The current Nine can certainly create the success of Chicago back then, and it was Harvey Weinstein's Miramax who made Chicago at that time.

Chicago is currently the highest-grossing film released by Harvey Weinstein, and he is still very confident in Rob Marshall's musical.

It's the $90 million budget, which is indeed a bit high, just

Considering the investment in Relativistic Entertainment, Weinstein Pictures has to pay a lot of money.

Okay, let's start preparing! Harvey Weinstein said. After all, among the independent films now, Xinghai Films' reputation is getting bigger and bigger, and several films that have been independently invested have achieved success.

A little-known director, Xinghai Pictures dared to invest 60 million US dollars to develop Spartan 300 Warriors for him.

The same Frank Miller comic book adaptation of Sin City has a budget of only $40 million, but it has the trademark of Quentin Tarantino.

Can Zack Snyder compare to Quentin Tarantino? cannot.

Harvey Weinstein must not let Xinghai Pictures overtake Weinstein Pictures. He is the king of independent films. Miramax's glory can definitely be reproduced in Weinstein Pictures.

Nine is the masterpiece that Weinstein Pictures sounded the horn!
