"Tina, we meet again. ”

In the luxurious reception room of the Beverly Hills Club, Ronan shook hands with Tina Brown, the editor-in-chief of Vanity Fair: "You're so beautiful today. ”

Tina Brown smiled and said, "Thank you." She knew that Ronan was a busy person and would not ask her to meet if she had nothing to do, so she asked directly, "Is there something wrong with me today?"

Ronan smiled and said, "It's a little thing for you to help with." ”

"Just say. Tina Brown's words were waterless: "Ronan, we are friends, I will definitely help if I can." ”

Ronan naturally heard the meaning of these words, and he also knew what kind of person Tina Brown was.

So, after meeting Tom Cruise and Brian Lord yesterday, the first thing he looked for was the editor-in-chief of Vanity Fair.

Ronan didn't have to go around in circles, and said: "In the last few days, there have been some reports about Tom in the media, and Vanity Fair has also published some. ”

Tina Brown frowned slightly, still maintaining a decent smile on her face, and said: "The editor is responsible for the specific content of the magazine, and I am basically not involved in it, and the specific situation is not very clear. ”

Ronan was unimpressed and said, "Tina, you must have heard of something, right?"

Tina Brown nodded slightly: "I've heard some." She turned passive to active and asked, "Ronan, are you going to interfere in this matter?"

Not a party, few people want to be involved.

Ronan said solemnly: "Tom is my friend, CAA is my long-term cooperative brokerage company, and I will help if I can." ”

Tina Brown was clearly thinking.

"There's so much news in Hollywood every year, and that's not much. Ronan said lightly: "As far as I know, more than 80% of the revenue of Vanity Fair magazine comes from advertising. ”

Tina Brown looked up at Ronan and suddenly thought of one thing, at the beginning of this year, I saw a report from the advertising business department, which had content about the big customer Relativity Entertainment, among which there were more than a dozen movies and television that may have direct business ties with "Vanity Fair".

The measurement standard of some things is actually very simple, not as complicated as imagined, the key is to see whether there is capital in hand.

There is no doubt that Ronan, who has the entire Relativity Entertainment Group as a support, has enough weight in Tina Brown's eyes.

It's not that the people of CAA haven't looked for Tina Brown before, but Tina Brown made an excuse to push it off, and CAA needs media like "Vanity Fair" as a medium to promote its stars.

However, Relativity Entertainment is different, and the promotion of film and television and Oscar public relations under Relativity may generate tens of millions of dollars of interest with "Vanity Fair".

Tom Cruise's news is hyped up, and he doesn't make that much.

And "Vanity Fair" can't be like those low-level gossip tabloids that have no style, all kinds of messy news are published, and they must maintain a relatively high-end style, which also limits the space for hype.

But in just half a minute, Tina Brown weighed the pros and cons, and said with a smile: "I didn't know much before, I'll go back and find out." ”

Ronan smiled and said, "I'm sorry for you." ”

"You're welcome. Tina Brown naturally said: "We are old friends, and Relativity Entertainment is one of Vanity Fair's closest partners. Do friends and partners a favor, that's as it should be. ”

Things went well, and Ronan chatted with Tina Brown for a while, and Tina Brown took the initiative to leave, and said that she would deal with the Vanity Fair thing about Tom Cruise in the afternoon.

Tina Brown had only been away for minutes when Tom Cruise and his agent, Walter, knocked on the door and walked in.

"Sit, Tom. Ronan gestured to the single couch next to him, "Sit, Walter." ”

Tom Cruise sat down and said, "I'm sorry for you." ”

Ronan smiled and said, "We are friends, we don't need to see each other like this." ”

Tom Cruise said apologetically, "I'm in trouble, and I'm going to make you take time to come back from San Francisco." ”

"Everyone has something they are good at and something unique. Ronan didn't think it was troublesome, it might be too much of an exaggeration to say that it was a gesture, but it wasn't that difficult. "Maybe I'll need your help sometimes," he said. ”

Tom Cruise smiled and said, "Call me anytime you can find me." ”

Ronan changed the subject and said, "Tina Brown will go to work on it today, and Vanity Fair is no longer a problem." ”

Tom Cruise breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Your words still work." ”

Walter asked with concern, "Will she just say and not do ......?"

Tom Cruise frowned at the temporary agent, do you need to be suspicious of Ronan's words?

Ronan said, "No. He explained simply: "Tina Brown is actually more like a businessman, although she is the editor-in-chief, and the businessman values practical benefits. ”

Walter understood that Tina Brown couldn't risk losing a big customer of Relativity Entertainment and make some unwise choices.

Ronan admonished again: "Tom, Walter, you will contact Tina Brown in the future, and you still have the attitude you should have." ”

"I understand. Tom Cruise nodded.

"The company has been in contact with media outlets like Vanity Fair," Walter said. ”

Ronan got to know Tina Brown, a veritable businesswoman who, as long as it was profitable, was nothing to suppress the negative press about Tom Cruise from Vanity Fair.

Of course, the interests are not big enough, and there is nothing to talk about.

The most successful case Tina Brown has ever run is undoubtedly a series of reports and books by the Princess of Wales.

When Diana was alive, Tina Brown took the initiative to approach Diana by using her status as a media manager, and even became Diana's most trusted best friend, but after getting enough information, Tina Brown immediately became the most ruthless person who broke Diana's news.

After Diana's death in a car accident, Tina Brown was also the most successful and successful in Diana's death, not only did several media outlets as editor-in-chief frantically break the news and smear, but she herself launched several books about Diana.

For Tina Brown, Diana will always be a good deck of cards in her hand.

Someone in the media industry has said that Tina Brown has put her career off to a brilliant start through Diana and has reached even higher career goals through Diana.

Tina Brown has a life motto that reflects the media industry and entertainment stars – it's worse than being talked about by people that no one talks about it.

Ronan glanced at the time and said, "I made an appointment with the editor-in-chief of The Hollywood Reporter in the afternoon, and we'll go to Burbank later." ”

Walter asked with concern, "Will it go well over there?"

Ronan said: "There is basically no problem. ”

When I called the editor-in-chief of The Hollywood Reporter yesterday, I had a brief chat.

However, Ronan reminded: "Relativity Entertainment has business dealings with many first-line media, and it is not difficult to convince them to downplay the relevant news hype, and I am powerless with those gossip tabloids." ”

Tom Cruise answered, "It's okay. ”

Walter said: "There is really no good way for those tabloids to make up anything in order to attract attention, but without a real impact on the front-line media to follow up, even if the tabloids continue to follow up, the impact will be limited, and they will quickly shift their target." ”

Ronan nodded: "There are too many people and things worth reporting in Hollywood. ”

When he left the club, Tom Cruise whispered a few words to Ronan that Scientology was also doing related work, but it was very unsuccessful, the media didn't buy it at all, and Scientology's reputation was too bad.

Within a few days, there was suddenly less negative news about Tom Cruise in the entertainment media, and all that was left was a few gossip tabloids, and the incident was slowly calming down.

Ronan met with Brian Lord again, and he was not so polite to CAA's people, and CAA then made a joint statement with Shahai Entertainment to assist Shahai Entertainment in packaging and producing a TV series called "Prison Break".

Under Ronan's agreement with Brian Lorde, CAA significantly reduced the packaging service fee for this project.

Pat Kingsley was silent for a moment and didn't make any more moves.

"You didn't do anything more?"

In a mansion in Malibu, Nicole Kidman asks Pat Kingsley, "Such a great opportunity was passed up in vain?"

Pat Kingsley said: "I have to stop when it's time to stop, Brian Lord of the agency warned me that if I make any more moves, I will have a stalemate with the agency, and I will have another chance in the future." ”

Nicole Kidman seems a little unwilling: "Hype once and hype a second time, the heat will decrease." ”

Pat Kingsley said solemnly: "No matter how hyped it is now, there are only those tabloids, and if the front-line media don't follow up, it won't have much influence." ”

"Why?" asked Nicole Kidman.

Pat Kingsley knew what she was asking, and said slowly, "Relativity Entertainment Group's Ronan Anderson made a move, and he's not something I can shake." ”

Nicole Kidman's face turned pale instantly: "It's him again!"

"Huh?" Pat Kingsley looked at Nicole Kidman, "You had a conflict with her?"

Nicole Kidman couldn't say it straight, shook her head and said, "No." ”

Pat Kingsley reminded: "It doesn't matter what you say about Tom Cruise, don't provoke Ronan Anderson, the owner of a film company with an entertainment group in his hands, and his influence is not comparable to Tom Cruise." ”

Nicole Kidman thought of the stupid things she did on Oscar night, and she regretted it very much, and immediately said: "I don't have any connection with Ronan Anderson. ”

Pat Kingsley advised: "Nicole, this matter is over, you don't mention it in any public place, we also need the strength of CAA to help you hit the second Oscar." ”

Nicole Kidman said: "I understand. ”
