Chapter 28 Trading
Don has a big temper, but that doesn't mean he's stupid and impulsive.
Peter Jackson is a New Zealander, he came to Hollywood to work hard, it was very difficult, from the independent film industry, step by step, it took more than ten years to climb to the mainstream film industry, and had the opportunity to take over a big production like "The Lord of the Rings".
How could he have done such a stupid thing?
Don didn't move, and asked for Peter Jackson's phone number to contact him personally.
Peter Jackson's accent was so strong that Don needed to discern it carefully to understand, "I'm sorry, Donn, this was a misunderstanding. ”
Don frowned, "Misunderstanding? I don't think so, it's more of a humiliation to me." ”
"No, no, no!" Peter Jackson's tone tensed for a moment, "Donne, listen to me, I did send you an invitation, but that was three months ago. ”
"Three months ago?" Donn frowned.
Peter Jackson said: "Yes, you know the situation at that time, the whole United States is laughing at you. I've been through that experience and know that it's not pleasant, so I want to help you out and get out of the limelight in my crew, it's not what you think. ”
Don didn't know how credible the other party's words were, but he was even more angry at William Mihawk in his heart.
The invitation made three months ago is well documented, and it shouldn't be fake.
William suddenly took out the invitation three months ago inexplicably, what did he want to do?
"Peter, I believe there was some misunderstanding now, but I think we need to talk about it in person, don't you think?" Donn's eyes twinkled.
Peter Jackson naturally didn't want to offend this popular director with unlimited potential, and immediately agreed, "Yes, I really didn't think about this matter, and I will give you an explanation." ”
If Don released this news, Peter Jackson's reputation in the circle would be ruined.
With Donne's popularity and fame now, even the most senior boss in Hollywood can't give him a position as an assistant director, which is an insult!
Thankfully, Donn's handling was ...... Very mature.
"It seems that Don's temper is not as frivolous and simple as the outside world rumored, and his calmness is surprising, fortunately!"
Peter Jackson, who hung up the phone, breathed a sigh of relief, groaned for a while, and called the assistant over, "Go check out, who is Donne Walker's agent?"
……
Don also pondered for a long time, then smiled, shook his head, and dialed another phone, "Hey, Liv, I'm Done." ”
"Hello, Donne!" said Liv Taylor's voice mixed with excitement.
Don smiled and said, "Do you have time tonight? I'll treat you to dinner?"
Liv Taylor, of course, understood what Donn meant, and said happily, "Okay, it's an honor!"
"Okay, I'll pick you up later. ”
Don had a relaxed face, and it was another fantastic night, wasn't it?
……
The next day, Donn took Liv Taylor to the lobby of the Hilton Hotel and was greeted by Peter Jackson with a smile on his face.
Liv Taylor didn't know what Don had brought him here for, she just felt that the bearded man in front of her was ...... It's a little familiar, and when I heard Don pronounce his name, it finally dawned on me, Peter Jackson, it turned out to be him!
Although there has been no official announcement yet, everyone in the circle knows that New Line Pictures is teaming up with Peter Jackson to bring the epic classic "The Lord of the Rings" to the big screen.
When the group returned to the room, Peter Jackson was the first to speak, "Donne, I think things are clear. ”
"Oh?"
Don glanced at him with a smile.
Peter Jackson gave Liv Taylor a cautious look.
Don smiled and put his arm around Liv's waist, "It's okay, it's my friend." ”
Liv Taylor smiled sweetly, very happy. Being able to be friends with a director with great potential is the guarantee of your future career.
Peter Jackson lowered his voice and said, "Donn, you know that CAA is facing a big change right now, right?"
Don nodded.
CAA, the agency for innovative artists, was once the largest agency in the United States and had the ability to control Hollywood, but it was quickly countered and a big change took place in 1995.
Michael Ovitz went to Disney as president, Ron Mayer went to Universal as president, Jay Maloney committed suicide, and Avery Emmanuel left to found Endeavor.
The departure of a number of giants immediately made the Hollywood giant company panic, and the signed artists left one after another, and Peter Jackson was one of them.
Although Liv Taylor is also in this circle, such a high-level Hollywood secret still makes her a little frightened, because she smells the smell of conspiracy.
Even Liv understood the truth, and Tang En naturally knew it, and his face changed immediately, "CAA is using me as a gunman!"
Don was annoyed!
He is a contracted director of CAA, but he didn't expect that he would be inexplicably involved in a power struggle between large companies.
Don openly shouted in front of the media that "1.8 billion guaranteed", "easily extinguished Spielberg", and "my movie is a legend", making everyone think that this young man is talented and intelligent, but his personality is out-of-t.
But they didn't know that this was all Donn's self-hyped performance.
If everything had gone according to the CAA's script, Donn and Peter Jackson would have been so entangled now that it could even make Peter Jackson's agency, WMA, scorched.
Borrowing a knife to kill someone, that's nothing more than that, right?
CAA is really wishful thinking!
Fortunately, Tang En was stable on the outside and inside, and chose to investigate first, rather than making things big with a hot head.
Seeing Donn's anger, Peter Jackson understood that he had passed this level, "Donn, this matter is ...... After all, it was my mistake, and I need help in the future, just ask. ”
Don smiled and said, "Peter, you're out of sight, you meant it well, didn't you?"
Peter Jackson breathed a sigh of relief, "If only you could understand." ”
Don patted Liv Taylor on the back, "Peter, introduce you to a very good actress, Liv Taylor, very beautiful, isn't it?"
Liv Taylor's excited heart was about to jump out.
She didn't understand what Donn meant?
Isn't she deliberately sneaking into the upper class cocktail party just to get to the bottom of a big man like Donn Walker?
Unexpectedly, she only dated Tang En twice, and before she made any requests, Tang En took the initiative to pave the way for her.
Looking at the whole of Hollywood, is there a good man who values love and righteousness more than Done Walker?
At this moment, Liv Taylor looked at Venus in a mess, and felt that Don was perfect and amazing, how lucky would he be if he could be his girlfriend?
Peter Jackson glanced at Liv casually, he understood that this was a request from Don to settle the matter, and said with a smile: "Hello, Liv, you should have heard some rumors too, I plan to make a super big project, Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings", if you want, you can come to my crew to audition." ”
said it was an audition, but Donn made it clear that it was a deal, how could Liv Taylor not pass the audition?
"Well, it's an honor to work with a great director like you. ”
The smile on Liv Taylor's pretty face bloomed like a peach blossom, gorgeous and delicate.
Peter Jackson nodded, his gaze on Donn again. Liv Taylor is just a small person, not worth mentioning.
"Don, this matter ...... What are you going to do?"
A sneer crossed the corner of Donne's mouth, "Hmph, since CAA doesn't pay attention to principles, then I, Don Walker, am not easy to follow! Isn't CAA going to fall apart? I don't mind adding to the fire!"
In this incident, Peter Jackson was also a victim, and his face was gloomy, "Well, I will communicate with the WMA side and let them increase the pressure, CAA this time...... It's too much!"
……
Leaving the Hilton Hotel, Liv Taylor was not afraid of the paparazzi's candid photos, and directly snuggled into Donne's arms, holding his arm affectionately, and flattering with a pretty face: "Don, my house is too small, during this time, I want to live with you, is it okay?"
Don couldn't help but admire the girl a little.
In the end, she climbed up from the bottom, and there is a family guide, and she is really good at dealing with human feelings, just now Don gave her a big gift bag, and she immediately returned one.
In Hollywood, the essence of everything is a deal.
"Okay, I can't ask for it. Don doesn't care about the paparazzi, a little gossip and gossip, but it can increase his exposure.
Liv Taylor pursed her lips and smiled, hesitated for a moment, and lowered her voice: "Don, do you really want to turn your face with CAA?"
"Oh?" Donn's eyes showed a bit of surprise, "what do you think?"
Liv said: "CAA's influence is too great, even if it is in crisis now, it is not ...... I think it's okay if you fire the agent, there's no need to make a big fuss, it's not good for anyone. ”
Don couldn't help but laugh and said, "Liv, I appreciate you a little, you're a very smart girl." ”
"Thank you, you're ......" Liv Taylor smiled, and her eyes widened, "You...... Donn, you were lying, weren't you? You didn't tell Peter Jackson the truth!"
Tang En shook his head, his face pale, "Liv, women are sometimes too smart, but they are not cute. ”
Liv leaned into his arms coquettishly and whispered, "Don, that's why I told you these words because I trust you 100%, otherwise I would never have said it." ”
Truth be told, the scene where Donn recommends her to Peter Jackson creates a superb, extremely tall image for Liv Taylor.
Tang En was silent for a while, his face was a little more mocking, a little gloomy, "CAA is not a good thing, WMA is good?
