Chapter 149: Peaks and Loops, Losses Are Blessings

Just as Donn had assumed, things were showing unpredictable signs of deterioration.

The news that Don was under investigation by the FBI and that his company's assets were frozen spread overnight.

、、、、 and many other newspapers and periodicals have published this blockbuster news.

This time, it's no longer the headlines of the entertainment section, but the headlines of the entire newspaper!

……

Crazy reports, almost all the media, newspapers, and TV stations in the United States are paying close attention to this most sensational piece of news today.

In particular, Disney's ABC Group and Twentieth Century Fox's Fox Television Network have reported on a situation that is even more exaggerated than last year's scandal involving Mr. President and Mr. Richest Man.

The former is only a moral condemnation, the latter is a violation of the law!

Outside Tang En Films, countless reporters were surrounded, and even the ABC Group specially dispatched a helicopter to report on the investigation and evidence collection process of Tang En's major crime from a high-altitude dive perspective.

It's an unprecedented hype, and Donn Walker's name, while making headlines over the past few years, is nowhere near as well-known as it is now.

Donn has become the only topic of discussion in the whole of America at the moment!

Hollywood, famous director, $7 billion, economic crime, Natalie Portman's boyfriend, Nicole Kidman, Kate Winslet and other famous movie stars' rumored boyfriends......

Every report is a hot topic after dinner.

The entire Tangen Pictures industry is panicked.

Don sat in his office, his face gloomy as charcoal, like a lion who could not vent his monstrous anger, and even Ella Fisher, who had always been the most caring female secretary, was carefully accompanied by him, and he did not dare to breathe.

"There's no news from Brian yet?"

Don stood by the window, his eyes suddenly flashed, and he realized that there was a helicopter hanging above his head, and he was angry and closed the curtains.

"Mr. Lord is actively in contact with the White House, and Mr. McNick has filed a lawsuit with the court through the legal department to immediately lift the FBI's restrictions on us. ”

"Damn, it's still a society governed by the rule of law, and without court authorization, why does the FBI freeze my assets?" Tang En gritted his teeth angrily.

Ella Fisher paused for a moment and squeaked, "Donne, there's one more thing, do you want to ......?"

Tang En waved his hand, "In the past two days, have I heard less bad news?

Ella Fisher's face was a little sad, "Yes, Jerry Bruckheimer withdrew from the project. ”

"Huh?"

He said that his production company had a priority deal with Disney, and Disney had a new project, and he had to pull out. ”

"Fart!" Tang En's anger slapped the table fiercely, "That project has already been approved, and the movies are all made now, and he is talking to me about this?"

Ella Fisher said angrily: "Disney must be behind it!"

A touch of coldness crossed the corner of Donn's mouth, "Disney is right behind his back, but Jerry Bruckheimer's current status doesn't have to be ignored at all." Since he has made such a choice, he is obviously falling into the well!"

"What a bastard!" Ella Fisher stomped her foot in annoyance, "I should have written it down with him in the first place, and asked him to pay a huge amount of liquidated damages." ”

Tang En said lightly: "It's okay like this, whether it's an enemy or a friend, you can also see it clearly." Jerry Bruckheimer?

At this time, Donne's other secretary, Reese Witherspoon, rushed in with a happy face, "Done, someone has spoken for us!"

She was filming on MGM's comedy crew, and because Towne Pictures was in crisis, she took a leave of absence to come back and spend time with the company, which made the whole company love this sweet sister.

"Oh?

"It's Mel Gibson!"

Reese's face flushed a little, and she said happily: "Just now, Mr. Gibson was interviewed by CBS TV, and he firmly expressed his support for Down Pictures. He also said that you are a good person who abides by the law and will never do anything illegal, and some irresponsible remarks in the media are slander!"

As an Australian, Ella Fisher also felt glorious on her face, "Mel is a good big brother, I know that he is the most righteous!"

Don took a deep breath and nodded heavily.

Mel Gibson's righteousness, this is not the first time he has seen it.

Right now, the whole of America is watching the jokes of Down Pictures, and it was Mel Gibson who came forward and took the lead in standing up for Donn, and even put forward "suspected defamation" remarks.

This kindness, Don remembered it.

In any case, what happened to Mel Gibson in his previous life, Don will definitely try to stop it and save his fate!

At this time, Donn's personal cell phone rang, and it was Brian Lord calling.

"How's it going?" Donn's voice was a little heavy.

Brian Lord was very relaxed, and there was even a little smile in his tone, "Don, I have lived for more than forty years, and only today do I understand a big truth, suffering is a blessing!"

Tang En said bitterly: "It's a blessing to suffer a loss, and I'd rather not eat the blessing now!"

"No, no, no, I'm talking about something else. Brian Lord shifted the subject, "I'm talking about what you've been teased about by accounting firms over the past few years. ”

Tang En said angrily: "Besides, I only now understand that the original accounting firm and the tax department have a relationship, the higher the tax they pay, the more tax refunds they get, isn't this the collusion between officials and businessmen to cheat customers' money?

"Haha, so it's a blessing to suffer!" Brian Lord seems to like Don En's angry appearance, since the two met, Don has always been sunny and confident, steady and calm, and rarely has been so out of shape as now.

Tang En frowned, "Okay, let's talk about it, what the hell is going on?"

Brian Lord lowered his voice, "I just came back from the White House, and Mr. President looked at your tax records for the past three years, and he was shocked!"

"Shocked? Laugh at me for being stupid. Don laughed self-deprecatingly, and then his eyes lit up, revealing a bit of surprise, "Brian, you mean...... Mr. President is shocked?"

Brian Lord smiled: "Yes, anyone who reads your tax return will definitely be surprised, personal income tax, honestly paid 48.3%, corporate income tax, honestly paid 43.84%. Don, there is no other American citizen like you who abides by the law and actively pays taxes!"

"Haha!"

Don burst out laughing, tears of laughter coming out of his eyes.

He was ignorant before, he was miserable by the tax company, and he paid a lot of taxes, and his heart seemed to be dripping blood.

Unexpectedly, his tax declaration list in the past few years has become the best proof that he abides by the law and loves the country!

No wonder Brian said that suffering is a blessing, and that's true.

If Don hadn't paid so many taxes before, if he wanted to tide over the current difficulties, I'm afraid it would take a little more trouble.

Now, his good image of actively paying taxes and abiding by the law is highly recognized by the White House, can this farce end?

Don's mood was like seeing the sunshine in the future, "Brian, when will the ban on asset freezing and exit restrictions be withdrawn?"

Brian Lord said solemnly: "Donne, you played too much in the stock market this time, the entire Wall Street lost miserably, but you made billions of dollars as a filmmaker, and any regulator will pay attention." However, your tax records have left a good impression on the White House, and as long as the results of the investigation show that there are no other forces behind you and your background is clean, the ban will be lifted. At the same time, the White House will give you an explanation. ”

"What about time?"

"It's only two or three days, and the current situation, the White House doesn't like it. ”

Tang En breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, I am relieved, Brian, thank you for your hard work." ”

"Where, my job. Brian Lord smiled and lowered his voice, "It's time for you to move over there, your personal image must not be damaged." ”

"I know!"

Don hung up the phone, narrowed his eyes, and muttered for a long time, then said, "Ella, inform Bill, let him immediately start negotiations with Starz TV and hurry up the acquisition." Reese, contact Warner Bros. President Alan Horn and I'd like to talk to him. ”

Reese Witherspoon's eyes widened, and a flash of doubt flashed through her eyes.

Don smiled, "If there is something wrong with the project, ask him if he is interested in cooperating with Don Pictures to develop this series." ”

Now, the most serious hype of Donn in the whole United States is News Corp., the parent company of Fox, as well as Disney's ABC television network, and Time Warner is very calm.

At this time, Don didn't mind giving up some of his interests, sharing them with Warner, reaching an alliance, and completing the final Jedi counterattack.

Anyway, the reason why Don hurriedly set up the project was to be cannon fodder and cut off Warner's idea of "priority cooperation".

Now, just a little bit earlier.
