Chapter 386: Old Thing!
Don is now in a sensitive period, and his code of conduct is to keep a low profile.
And in recent years, he has had a lot of opponents, from Disney Media, to Mattel Toys, from Harvey Weinstein, to Jerry Bruckheimer, and recently even had a brief fight with HBO because of the TV station.
As for the small characters like Michael Bay, Tom Cruise, and Bruce Willis, Don didn't take it to heart, and when solving some big things, these little people would be wiped out by the way.
As the saying goes: I destroy you, it has nothing to do with you!
There are still more than two months to go, and the "911" incident is about to break out, and Donn doesn't want to make a fuss, so although he swept Disney films in the film market during this time, he did not fall into the sarcasm of Michael Eisner.
The first confrontation with HBO was also a quick one.
On Lei Shidong's side, Tang En didn't even think about going to war, and adopted the strategy of "compromise", "overture", and "deal", just to avoid getting into a bigger dispute.
As for Roy Disney, it is a delaying tactic.
Catherine Zeta-Jones is of course a complete beauty, in her thirties, it is the golden time for a woman to be charming, charming and enchanting.
But she's married, and Don doesn't want to touch that moral bondage.
Tang En has dated many female stars, which is not only a common knowledge in the Hollywood industry, many people who eat melons can also know the news from the gossip tabloids, after all, the paparazzi have captured a lot of intimate photos.
But these scandals did not have any impact on Don's reputation.
It's very simple, the man is unmarried, the woman is unmarried, everything is normal!
However, if one party gets married, it will affect each other's reputation.
What's more, Catherine Zeta-Jones's husband's family is the famous Douglas family, and Don has to deal with it even more carefully.
Although Don is not afraid of this kind of old family, there are many enemies...... It's also an eyesore!
Unexpectedly, his caution still attracted the attention of the Douglas family.
After lunch, Don wanted to hug Rachel Weisz for a while, but he received a strange phone call, and even the little secretary who gave him his mobile phone, Ella Fisher, looked surprised, "It's Mr. Douglas......! Old Mr. Douglas!"
Kirk Douglas?
Done's heart tightened.
This old guy is definitely the most senior in Hollywood today!
How deep is it?
The deceased Master Kubrick, who was regarded as "God" by James Cameron and George Lucas, was Kirk Douglas's henchman back then!
As we all know, Hollywood was founded by Jews, and the most influential big names in the Jewish circle of Hollywood today are not Steven Spielberg, not George Lucas, not Michael Eisner, not Barry Meyer, but Kirk Douglas!
Because in terms of seniority, he is the most senior!
(Lei Shidong doesn't count, he is mixed with the New York business circle, not Hollywood.) )
Every year during the Oscars season, Harvey Weinstein lobbied the college judges, and the most powerful Jewish circle, his main visit was Kirk Douglas.
In other words, Kirk Douglass is Harvey Weinstein's idol!
Harvey Weinstein is the scum of Hollywood, which is already the consensus of Hollywood at the moment.
Don also engages in "unspoken rules", but this is a deal for each to take what he needs, and everyone is happy to cooperate, at most it is condemned at some moral level.
But Harvey Weinstein is different, he will wander in the gray area on the edge of the law, and even break through the boundaries of the law to sexually assault actresses by coercive means.
However, he has a bottom line after all, and he only dares to attack third-rate young actors in Europe with tough methods, American actresses, minors, or women with strong enough aura, he doesn't dare to start, at most he harasses him a few times.
This is nothing compared to what Kirk Douglas did back then.
Kirk Douglas became famous during the "golden age" of Hollywood, when he was the most popular tough guy actor, and also created his own film company, investing in a series of films.
In that era when "red couch" auditions were common, you can imagine how many women Kirk Douglas has handled.
If it's just this kind of role and body transaction, that's it, but this guy is obviously a woman who plays too much and needs to find new pleasures, so he used his power in Hollywood and connections in the political situation to do a lot of angry crimes.
Rape is just the basic play, followed by bondage, beating, spitting, urine, abuse...... are the biggest source of his pleasure.
It's just that this is a Hollywood scandal after all, and it was very common in that era, Monroe would be poisoned, and Chaplin was kicked out of Hollywood.
In order to maintain the image of the entire industry, Hollywood has apparently reached a consensus not to mention any past scandals, only to say that it was a "golden age" of masters and countless good films.
Very ironic!
Don also likes to socialize with all kinds of beautiful women, but he plays the unspoken trade of the unspoken rules that wanders on the edge of morality, and he is great like a saint compared to the sins of Kirk Douglas.
"What is this old thing looking for me?"
Don frowned, to be honest, he hated dealing with this kind of person.
Especially the old guys, unless it is a superficially gentle business elite like Lei Shidong, even Roy Disney, who has no power for a long time, will rely on the old and sell the old.
Ella Fisher clutched the microphone of her phone and whispered, "You better take it, his tone ...... It's not very friendly. ”
Tang En frowned, his face was displeased, he hesitated for a moment, but he still closed the phone and took a deep breath, "Are you...... Mr. Douglas?"
"You're Donne Walker?"
"It's me, what's wrong?"
Tang En's face became more and more ugly, and the other party's tone was obviously a bit overbearing.
This kind of feeling, he hasn't encountered it for a long time, even if it's Roy Disney, the tone is not so excessive.
Catherine ...... What's going on?" Kirk Douglas didn't have the politeness of the first call, as if with a somewhat commanding tone.
Tang En was quite unhappy, and said with patience: "We are going to cooperate on a movie, and the crew has contacted her agent, it is a song and dance film, "Chicago". ”
"Don't change the subject, I'm not talking about movies!" Kirk Douglas asked in a deep voice.
Don gritted his teeth and said, "I don't understand what you mean. ”
"Don't you understand?" Kirk Douglas snorted coldly, "Is the face of my Douglas family so insignificant?"
Donn's voice was deep, "Mr. Douglas, I repeat, I don't know what you're talking about. Isn't it a sign of respect for the Douglas family that I gave Kate the role?"
"You actually called her Kate...... Boy, you're exposed!" Kirk Douglas's voice had raised.
Donn took a deep breath and tried not to argue with him, "What the hell are you talking about, Mr. Douglas?"
"Hmph, do you dare to quibble?"
"Sophistry?"
Don was confused and angry.
He is now the number one person in Hollywood, this Kirk Douglas really thinks he will be afraid of him!
Kirk Douglas said coldly, "Catherine has admitted it...... Forget it, I don't care what the reason for this is, you have to stop it now!"
"What the hell are you talking about?"
Don was angry, and his tone was not very polite.
This old thing, he hasn't recovered from his stroke yet, has he?
"What's your attitude?"
Kirk Douglas was the first to take the lead, questioning Donn's attitude.
Don said very politely: "Respect is mutual, Mr. Douglas, please maintain the most basic respect for me first!"
"Boy, you're arrogant!"
"I don't think so. ”
"Stay away from Catherine! I won't allow you to invite her!"
"Damn, give you face, you're a big person, if you don't give face, what kind of thing are you!
Tang En was directly angry, scolded, and hung up the phone directly without giving the other party a chance to return the favor.
This old thing, what a thing!
is over eighty years old, and he doesn't care well for a long time, and he still talks about this kind of every day, just looking for scolding!
He knew that Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones must have had a heated argument that caused a conflict and caused unhappiness.
It's just that he can't figure it out, it has something to do with him?
Was he wrong to choose Catherine Zeta-Jones as the heroine?
What's even more interesting is that Michael Douglas himself did not come forward, but let him call to act prestigiously, which is really ridiculous.
"It's just...... Why the hell is that? What is this old thing, what is he talking about?"
Don rubbed his head, puzzled.
