Chapter 21: The Scandal Comes to Light

Early in the morning, Done was called by Kate Winslet to a remote café, and found her wearing a pair of big sunglasses, sitting quietly in a corner of the café.

Don also wears sunglasses, the same pair he bought in his previous life.

In fact, since the filming of "Titanic", he has to wear these sunglasses most of the time he is away, after all, he is now a celebrity, and the sunglasses can at least resist the harassment of the paparazzi.

What's more, he has lost the ability to direct "mirror possession", and wearing this pair of sunglasses, just in case, this is his secret weapon.

"Hey, Kate, what's the matter with calling me over in such a hurry?" Donn grumbled as soon as he came up, and he wanted to linger with Liv Taylor for a while.

Kate looked solemn, "Donn, I'm ...... Yours...... Those misdeeds were exposed. ”

"What?" Donne's eyes widened, his face in disbelief, "How is that possible? I just brought Liv home last night, and it was exposed early in the morning? too soon, right?"

"Liv?" Kate startled.

"Liv Taylor. As soon as Don said his name, he realized that something was wrong, "It's not her?

Kate was angry and annoyed, with a look of disdain, "Who do you say?"

Don looked at Kate Winslet with an unkind face in a daze, and his head suddenly grew, "No...... It's the two of us, right?"

Kate looked bitter, hugged her head in pain, put her fingers into her hair, and said manically: "Don, I'm already engaged, if this matter is not handled well, I will be finished!"

Tang En immediately realized the seriousness of the matter, and pondered for a long time, "Has your agent been notified of this matter?"

"That's what she told me!"

The more Kate thought about it, the more angry she became, and this anger naturally spilled on the culprit Donn, looking at him with a fierce look.

Don smiled bitterly and apologized again and again, "I'm sorry, Kate, I don't want to cause you so much trouble, when I was in the crew, I deliberately ...... Huh, that's not right!"

Don changed his tone and immediately realized the complexity of the situation.

When filming "Titanic", Don often lived with Kate, but Don was also afraid of her reputation, so he deliberately arranged her next door to him, on the entire floor, and she was the core of the crew.

Absolutely impossible to leak!

Is there something wrong within?

Don was puzzled.

Since he is a member of the crew of "Titanic", he must hope that this movie will be a big hit to get a better resume. Even if they want to make money by selling celebrity gossip, it is impossible to be at a critical time when such a movie is released.

Then the question is simple, what is the purpose of them leaking this news?

Stink Kate Winslet?

This is impossible, Kate is cheerful and generous, brave and strong, and is recognized as a good girl by the entire crew, and no one has a grudge against her.

Stinky Donn?

That's even more unnecessary, don't say that Don En is single now, it's no problem to date any woman, the key is Don En's big mouth, he has made his reputation stink, do you still need someone else's assistance?

There is only one end result of the elimination method!

That's the movie - Titanic!

"Could it be that the big studios like Warner and Sony don't want to see "Titanic" sell well, so they deliberately created a scandal?" Donn narrowed his eyes, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was very high.

"You're talking, what the hell are you going to do now?" Kate was about to go crazy.

Don thought for a moment and said, "This matter is very complicated, call your agent, let's go find Bill McNick!"

As for Donn's agent, William Mihawk, there is no need to inform him, he is not currently trusted by Donn.

……

In the CEO office of Fox Films, Kate sat nervously, and the strong pressure brought to her by Bill McNick made her dare not breathe.

It was her agent, Hilda Querry, who was more aggressive.

When Donn explained the specific situation, the mystery behind it must have been seen through at a glance by the minds of Bill McNick and Hilda Querry.

Hilda said angrily: "It must have been made by Universal!" "Jurassic Park 2" is about to be released, and they are afraid of the threat of "Titanic"!"

Bill McNick wanted to light a cigar, but when Kate looked solemn, he gave up the idea, "It's impossible, I have a good relationship with the top management of Universal Pictures, and they don't need to use this kind of indiscriminate means." ”

"That's ......"

Bill McNick interrupted Hilda with a wave of his hand, "Okay, I've learned about this matter, now our question is how to solve the current dilemma?"

Donn doesn't know about the power struggle within Fox Films, but Bill McNick is not stupid, "Titanic" is Fox Films' most dedicated project, how can it be infiltrated into the top of the crew by other film companies?

There is only one reason, and that is internal contradictions!

It's just that at the moment, he can't say it clearly.

Without evidence, he can't move Tom Rothman at all, that's the co-chairman and president of Fox Films!

Hilda, as a well-known agent with a lot of experience in Hollywood, is very comfortable dealing with this kind of problem, "In fact, the key to this problem is that Kate is engaged. ”

Donn and Bill agreed.

If Don and Kate are both single, who would dare to say more?

The only problem is that Kate Winslet already has a fiancé, and then this kind of thing happened with Donne, which is regarded as a betrayal in Europe and the United States, which will greatly affect her reputation.

Of course, this is nothing in Hollywood, but it will affect the box office of "Titanic" in a short period of time.

"It's good to just press the conference to refute the rumors, anyway, there is no evidence. Kate didn't want her fiancé to be involved.

Hilda shook her head, "Oh no! it will spread the impact, and the best way to defuse the controversy is to move on to another attractive topic." ”

Bill McNick nodded, "Hilda, just say it, what to do? Fox Films will fully cooperate with you!"

Hilda said firmly: "Announcing to the outside world, Kate had dissolved her engagement last year, and she is now dating Donn. ”

"Huh?"

Donn was stunned.

"No way!"

Kate snorted.

"Kate!" Hilda's tone was a little heavy, frowning, "This is the best way to solve the problem, not only will it not affect your image and the box office of the movie, but it will receive the blessings and expectations of many fans." ”

Bill McNick smiled approvingly: "I think this can be regarded as the promotion of the movie, maybe it can increase the box office?"

In Hollywood, this kind of thing is too common, and during the release of the movie, the scandal of the relationship between the male and female lead actors is often the best way to attract attention.

"I don't agree!" Kate flatly refused, her face a little angry, "I'm already engaged, I love Jim, I want to marry him!"

Bill McNick's face sank, very displeased.

Hilda said earnestly: "Kate, as your agent or friend, I want to persuade you, that British director is not worthy of you at all!"

Kate gritted her teeth and said angrily: "Hilda, this is my private matter, I hope to be respected!"

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the office was a little cold.

Don couldn't help but sigh.

Kate Winslet is really tough.

Her fiancé, Don knows, is an English director named Jim Terry Alleton, and his character is ...... It's not that good.

In his previous life, for his own career, in order to become an assistant director from a trainee director, Jim Terry Aledon forcibly called Kate Winslet, the fiancée of the world-renowned star, into a small crew with an investment of less than $10 million to shoot an independent film called "North African Lover".

This successfully promoted Jim Terry Alleton to assistant director, but it greatly affected Kate's star career. After getting married, he repeated his old tricks and wanted to use Kate's influence to plan a career blueprint for himself.

The character of repeatedly eating soft rice finally made Kate unbearable and chose to divorce, ending this short marriage.

From the perspective of a friend, Don certainly didn't want Kate to be unhappy, and after a long silence, he finally spoke, "Kate, you are still young, get married...... Isn't it too early?"

Kate's beautiful eyes widened wider and wider, and she looked at Don in surprise, "You...... You agree with Hilda, too?"

"It's all trivial. Don shook his head, "Kate, in my opinion, whether it's a scandal or the box office, it doesn't matter, I only care if you can live a happy life, as a friend, I don't want you to be deceived, do you know what I mean?"

"But Jim ......" Kate's face turned a little pale, she didn't understand why everyone around her didn't think favorably of her fiancé, and now, even Don expressed such an opinion.

Don stood up, "Hilda, this matter hasn't fermented yet, we are not in a hurry, since someone is targeting us, I believe there will definitely be a follow-up." In my opinion, it would be nice for you to come forward first and make a simple clarification. ”

"But ......"

Don waved his hand, "This matter is settled, Kate, shall we talk? You are a woman, sometimes you may not know much about men's thoughts, let me help you analyze it from a man's point of view." ”

Hilda's eyes lit up, "Kate, go ahead, listen to more persuasion, man...... Especially men who are struggling, tend to confuse career and love, you have to pay more attention. ”

Kate Winslet took a deep breath and walked over to Donne, staring at him, "Why?"

She didn't understand why Don didn't take care of the big things at hand, and instead took an interest in his own private affairs.

"Because we're friends. ”

Don had a sincere look in his eyes.

It has nothing to do with whether or not the super-friendly relationship can continue in the future. To each take what he needs, the physical needs are common in Hollywood, there is no responsibility, no obligation.

But Done genuinely regards Kate as a friend.
