Heads Up Hollywood

After half an hour, Dunn calmed down his emotions, then picked up the phone on the table, and dialed a number—Twentieth Century Fox CEO Tom Rothman.

"Tom, about Nat . . . you know that?"

Tang En's tone was very flat, but there was a bit of coldness in the flat tone.

Tom Rothman had suffered too much from Twain, and he didn't want to mess with this demon king anymore, so he quickly explained, "Twain, I know about this, but... there's nothing I can do about it."

"Powerless?" Tang En's tone was somewhat mocking.

Tom Rothman said: "I am the CEO of Twentieth Century Fox, and I am responsible for the interests of the company. And... you know I am an executive, and I rarely care about the content of movies. These are the production departments the behavior of."

Tang En said lightly: "So, you plan to sit back and watch my girlfriend get kicked out of the set by Tom Cruise?"

"No, no, this is not kicking out, hehe, it is a normal cooperation, and... I will order the crew to pay a certain amount of compensation to Miss Portman."

Tang En sneered, "Do you think I will be short of money?"

Tom Rothman sighed: "Twain, let me tell you the truth. I was notified of this matter two days ago. Of course, my first reaction was to stop it, but I can't act arbitrarily." "Minority Report" There are a total of seven film companies in the production side, in addition to Twentieth Century Fox, there are Tom Cruise Film Production Company, Legendary Pictures, DreamWorks, Amblin Entertainment, Blue Tulip Pictures, Ronald Shu Seth/Gary Goodman Productions. Their investment object, the focus is on Tom Cruise."

Tang En's reaction was very calm, "Steven also has this attitude?"

"he……"

Tom Rothman paused, "He should have no objection."

Tang En snorted coldly, "I know!"

After hanging up the phone, Tang En called Steven Spielberg directly, with a very rude tone, "Steven, I need an explanation!"

"Yes...is it Miss Portman's business?"

"It seems that you are very clear."

Tang En's words were full of sarcasm,

Spielberg is the most representative director in Hollywood today, and a legend of his generation. He was not very happy with Tang En's tone, and said in a deep voice: "Tang En, you are also a director. I always think... about this matter, you I can understand."

"Understand?" Tang En snorted sarcastically, "I can't understand! If I remember correctly, we had already agreed half a year ago that Natalie would play the leading role."

Spielberg said: "Indeed, I promised. But I also said that I am just a director. The biggest producer of this project is Twentieth Century Fox, and they have the real decision-making power! Natalie is Your girlfriend, we all know this, but a movie is a movie, and Natalie's box office appeal... is not at the same level as Tom Cruise!"

"Steven, are you going back on your word?"

"I have never regretted it, but I personally cannot represent the crew, and everything about the crew must be based on future interests."

The corner of Tang En's mouth twitched, "I never think that interests are more important than promises!"

Spielberg said with a firm tone: "Tang En, let me say it again, I am just a film director for this project, and the investment share that DreamWorks participated in is not even as good as Tom Cruise's production company. So you should know , I have no say in this matter."

"Where is the right to speak?"

"Twentieth Century Fox, of course!"

Tang En laughed angrily, "Steven, you're really good at this Tai Chi pushing hands!"

"Tai Chi?"

Spielberg apparently couldn't grasp the word right away.

"Hmph!" Tang En's reaction was very cold, "Steven, I am very disappointed in you with the way this matter was handled!"

After finishing speaking, regardless of etiquette, he hung up the phone directly.

A Tom Rothman and a Steven Spielberg are both good players. After experiencing this kind of thing a lot, the level of shirking responsibility is getting higher and higher.

After thinking about it for a while, Tang En decided to face the core figure of this problem - Tom Cruise!

Until now, Tang En did not believe that Tom Cruise dared to challenge his authority, maybe it was an excuse that the producer found Natalie not suitable for the role of the leading lady.

I called CAA's Brian Lord and found out that Tom Cruise switched to the WMA agency three months ago, and her current agent is her cousin Li Ann DeWitt.

When Tang En heard it, he basically understood.

On the surface, a family-owned manager will take better care of the artist and better satisfy the artist's interests.

But in fact, just like a family business, the disadvantages far outweigh the advantages.

Tang En asked for Li DeWitt's phone number and called it.

"Hello, this is Lili, who are you?"

"Twain."

"Twain?"

"Dawn Walker!"

Li DeWitt's voice changed immediately, "Dawn Walker? You... Which director are you?"

Tang En was not in the mood to talk nonsense to her, "You know about the "Minority Report" project, right?"

"I know."

"Tom Cruise ostracized my girlfriend?"

Li DeWitt calmed down, realized the questioning in Tang En's words, fell silent for a while, and said slowly: "Mr. Walker, this is about the crew of "Minority Report". It seems...it has nothing to do with you, right?"

"Um?"

Tang En was taken aback, and couldn't believe it. In Hollywood, would anyone dare to talk to him like that?

Tom Cruise, the new agent, has the same EQ as him!

"Mr. Walker, I know you are a big shot, and I can't afford to mess with you, but for movies, just follow the rules of movies, right?"

Although Li DeWitt is very old, but she just entered Hollywood, she is a bit of a newborn calf and is not afraid of tigers. "The choice of the market determines everything. Tom has a higher appeal, greater fame and influence than Miss Portman, "The Few The crew of Pai Report should focus on him, right?"

She thought that the commercial market in Hollywood was of the same nature as the cosmetics marketing market where she used to work, and she even wanted to teach Tang En a lesson.

Tang En laughed, "So Tom Cruise has the right to exclude others?"

Lee DeWitt said of course: "Everyone loves Tom more, it's a fact, I'm deeply sorry for what happened to Miss Natalie. Tom is the number one male, he must choose a female number one who can play , Miss Portman... is too tall."

"Ha ha!"

This time, Tang En really couldn't help it, burst out laughing.

Natalie is too tall?

It's the funniest joke in the world!

Tang En has dated so many girls, except for the little secretary Isla Fisher, Natalie is the petite.

Lee DeWitt coming up with such absurd excuses that she's too tall for Tom Cruise, what bullshit...Huh? etc!

Tom Cruise's height...

Well, in front of this superstar, Natalie is indeed tall enough.

"Mr. Walker, do you have any other questions?" Lee DeWitt felt very uncomfortable hearing Tang En's wanton laughter.

Tang En shook his head, and said flatly: "I'll give you one last chance, have you really decided like this?"

"What?"

Li DeWitt was very angry and said angrily: "Mr. Walker, are you threatening me? I respect you as a great director, but if you want to use such means to bully newcomers, I will not catch you without a fight! Don't forget, I am Tom Cruise's manager, I'm his cousin!"

Tang En was angry and funny, and hung up the phone directly.

The free market economy has filled this silly woman's mind with mud.

Is Hollywood a free market?

You could say yes, provided there's no bigwig meddling.

Now, Tang En has paid attention to it personally, and this silly woman is still shouting like an idiot. Do you really think Tang En can't do anything about Tom Cruise?

Yes, Tom Cruise is indeed a superstar!

Even if Tang En Pictures didn't cooperate with him, other film companies would rush to make an appointment with him and hold him in their hands.

Just like Steven Spielberg, Tom Cruise didn't have the strength to confront Tang En head-on, but at least he was qualified to take a detour.

However, they obviously still don't know that the reason why Twain became the Twain he is today is because he possesses a... secret weapon that no one else has!
