Heads Up Hollywood

Tang En put on sunglasses.

Because he had already completed the post-production of "A Beautiful Mind", the first message from the system was that "Mirror Possession" Oliver Stone's ability had disappeared.

Tang En searched for "Minority Report" in the search bar on the upper right, and soon, more than 1,200 contracts related to the project popped up.

Article 7 on the front page is the initial contract of the male number one!

Open it and look, yes, the name on it is Tom Cruise!

At this stage, Tang En was already worried about the STA TV network. He was trying to please that old fellow Redstone and solve the potential crisis of the STA TV network. He didn't even pay attention to the marketing of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" and completely delegated authority.

But I didn't expect that Tom Cruise bumped into him at this juncture, and Natalie was so wronged that she cried, so I can't blame anyone!

Must be ruthless!

Kill this unhealthy trend!

The big bosses of other film companies may hold Tom Cruise in their hands as a treasure, but Twain will not!

Whether it is Bruce Willis or Michael Bay, he will never be used to it, revenge for revenge! Complain!

Since Tom Cruise took the initiative to provoke the battlefield by relying on his power in the crew, don't blame Tang En for being cruel and ruthless.

There was a sinister grin on the corner of Tang En's mouth.

let's play!

Whether it's 20th Century Fox, Steven Spielberg, or Tom Cruise, don't you like to play? Then just play big!

Tang En has already made up his mind, he wants to change his fate against the sky and "steal the contract"!

Back then, the system gave him two "Contract Stealing" skills in the novice gift package. He first robbed James Cameron's "Titanic" and second-handed George Lucas The Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace.

Tang En's achievements today are due to those two "Contract Stealing" skills back then!

The function of this skill is to change the ownership of the contract, and it is not specified that it can only be used on the host.

That said, others can too!

The current Tang En, of course, does not need the skill of "stealing the contract". His movies can be invested by himself. But Natalie Portman is different. She loves acting and looks forward to working with great directors and enjoying the fun of acting.

The "stealing contract" Tang En has is for Natalie in the future.

His reputation is very famous and influential in Hollywood, but he wants to use this power to threaten top directors like Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, and Clint Eastwood. Totally impossible.

"Stealing the contract" was his last resort.

But now... there is another choice.

"This precious skill is used on you, Tom Cruise, you should be content!"

Tang En snorted coldly, wanting to erase Tom Cruise's name on the contract.

But as soon as he started, he suddenly stopped, "If Tom Cruise is taken down, who should be replaced?"

The reason why the project "Minority Report" was born is largely because Tom Cruise is the number one male. Such a cash cow can quickly attract a lot of investment, and there is almost no resistance in the process of project approval.

Tang En knew that if the male number one was changed, the project would probably get into trouble. Even Steven Spielberg might strike out, causing 20th Century Fox to cancel the project.

In order to ensure that this project can continue, so that Natalie has the opportunity to cooperate with Steven Spielberg, it is necessary to choose a superstar who is big enough and has enough box office appeal to attract investors and producers. Party satisfied!

"Who should I choose?"

Tang En sat there for five minutes, but he couldn't think of a suitable person.

Mel Gibson?

Naturally, coffee seats are enough, but he is preparing for Tang En Pictures' project "Signs of the Sky", so he has no resources to spare.

Tom Hanks?

Obviously impossible, he took the route of acting dramas, not suitable for action movies.

Will Smith?

Negroes, not suitable!

Leonardo Ricaprio?

This kid finished filming "The Wind and Cloud of New York" and is on vacation in Hawaii. It is impossible for such a lazy person to keep on filming.

As for people like Brad Pitt and George Clooney, they have the qualifications and strength to play the leading role, but they lack box office appeal.

After thinking for a long time, a name came to Tang En's mind, his eyes lit up, "Yes! It's him!"

Tang En called Sofia Coppola, "Do you know "Minority Report?"

Sofia Coppola is conceiving her new script "Lost in Translation" wholeheartedly, and said with a smile: "You know, the new film directed by Spielberg has been hyped for several years, what's wrong?"

Tang En said bluntly: "I plan to let your cousin be the number one male, what do you think?"

"Ah?" Sofia Coppola exclaimed, "This... so reckless? Isn't Tom Cruise the male number one? It's already been made public!"

Tang En said disdainfully: "I planned to let Nat play the leading role, but Tom Cruise didn't know what to do and wanted to exclude her, so I had no choice but to be rude."

Sofia Coppola knew about his temper, but was very surprised, "Twain, you are not kidding, are you? How is this possible? That is not a film you invested in, trying to squeeze Tom Cruise away...Oh my God!"

Obviously, in her view, this is impossible.

Tom Cruise is the cash cow of the major studios, and he can't even grab it, so he rushes out?

Unless it is a film invested by Tang En Pictures, it is impossible for any production company to refuse Tom Cruise!

"If I say I can do it, I will definitely do it! Is Tom Cruise amazing? Can he compare with me?" Tang En's words were full of disdain.

Sofia Coppola frowned and said, "Of course you are amazing, but..."

"Okay! Sophia, I'm not here to argue with you, I'm here to tell you the result!" Tang En interrupted, "Your cousin...the last film "Sixty Seconds" didn't do well at the box office. Most of it is because of me. Also, his new film "Windtalker"... I don't like it very much. Just like "Pearl Harbor", the economy is sluggish now, and war movies are not popular. You know, if the continuous The box office of the two commercial blockbusters is not good enough, which will affect his status."

Having said that, Sofia Coppola became nervous. Twain's judgment on movies has never been missed.

"You...you really can make him the leading man of Minority Report?"

"Of course, but I don't have his contact information, just because I'm afraid he has an appointment."

"No, I'm idle, I just met him the day before yesterday!" Sofia Coppola paused, "Well, I'll inform him and ask him to call you."

After hanging up the phone, Tang En sighed, thinking of Nicolas Cage's personality, he felt a little headache.

This person has a somewhat arrogant and eccentric personality. He has met him a few times, but he has never spoken much.

Of course, a large part of the reason is that Nicolas Cage's partner is Jerry Bruckheimer, who is Tang En's deadly enemy!

However, Tang En's attitude towards Nicolas Cage and Michael Bay will be completely opposite.

Although both of them are Jerry Bruckheimer's boys, Nicolas Cage never spoke ill of Twain in front of the media, even when "Sixty Seconds" was suppressed by "Spiderman" last year, He is also calm.

More importantly, Tang En and the Coppola family have a very good friendship and take care of each other. For Nicolas Cage, they must help as much as they can.

Such an action movie superstar with superb acting skills is rare in Hollywood.

It would be a pity to sink into Hollywood and become the king of bad movies.

This is a loss for the entire industry.

Ten minutes later, Tang En received a call. This was his first phone call with Nicolas Cage.

"Mr. Walker, you...you really want me to be the leading actor of "Minority Report?" Nicolas Cage used honorifics, and his voice was clearly agitated.

Tang En smiled and said, "Just call me Tang En. As for whether it will work or not... Hehe, I have to try it anyway. If you want, I will communicate with 20th Century Fox."

"Yes, of course I would!" Nicolas Cage said quickly, "In fact, two years ago, when Director Spielberg stated that he would make the novel "Minority Report", I let my The agent followed up, but he had already appointed the candidate."

The corner of Tang En's mouth twitched, and he said flatly: "The producer, crew and director, I'll take care of this. You can contact your agent and cooperate with them."

Nicolas Cage was silent for a moment, "Mr. Walker, thank you."

Tang En smiled, "You're welcome, my friend. Also, when choosing films in the future... you need to think more about it, depending on various factors."

"Ok, I know."

Nicolas Cage immediately expressed his opinion, but... did he really understand this cryptic hint?

Tang En shook his head.

I just hope this guy can choose a clear path and stop messing with Jerry Bruckheimer. One way will lead to death.

After hanging up the phone, Tang En found a new mobile phone, edited a text message, and sent it out as a group.

"I think that the male lead of "Minority Report" can be Nicolas Cage, and the female lead is Natalie Portman. - Dawn Walker."

To: Tom Rothman, Jim Ganopoulos, Jan de Bont, Steven Spielberg, Michael Ovitz, Ronald Shusett, Gary Goodman , Brian Lord, Hilda Qualley, Natalie Portman, Nicolas Cage...

Then, Tang En put on his sunglasses again, found the position of the title of the contract, erased the name of "Tom Cruise" without hesitation, and changed it to "Nicolas Cage".

"Are you sure to use the 'Contract Stealing' skill?"

"Sure!"

For a time, the situation changed!
