Chapter 368: Hero, I'll Decide!
Don put on his sunglasses.
Because he had already completed the post-production of A Beautiful Mind, the first news that came from the system was that Oliver Stone's ability to "mirror possessed" had disappeared.
In the search bar in the upper right, Donn looked up the "Minority Report" and, soon, more than 1,200 contracts related to the project popped up.
The seventh article on the homepage is the initialed contract of the male number one!
Open it and take a look, that's right, the name on it is Tom Cruise!
At this stage, Tang En was already worried about the matter of the STA TV network, and was trying his best to please the old guy Lei Shidong and solve the potential crisis of the STA TV network, and he didn't even pay attention to the marketing of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", and completely decentralized.
Unexpectedly, Tom Cruise bumped into him at this juncture, and it made Natalie cry aggrieved, so no one can blame!
You have to be ruthless!
Kill this unhealthy trend!
The big bosses of other film companies may hold Tom Cruise in the palm of their hands as a treasure, but Don N won't!
Whether it's Bruce Willis or Michael Bay, he's never used to it, revenge!
Since Tom Cruise relied on his power in the crew to take the initiative to provoke the battlefield, don't blame Don for being ruthless and terrifying.
The corners of Donn's mouth curled into a grim smile.
Let's play!
Twentieth Century Fox, Steven Spielberg, and Tom Cruise, don't you like to play?
Don has already thought about it, he wants to change his life against the sky and "steal the contract"!
Back then, in the system's newbie gift package, he was given two "contract stealing" skills, he grabbed James Cameron's "Titanic" with the first hand, and George Lucas's "Star Wars Prequel 1: The Ghost Man Menace" with the second hand.
The reason why Tang En can have today's achievements is that the two "contract stealing" skills at the beginning are indispensable!
The purpose of this skill is to change the ownership of the contract, and it can only be used on the host without specifying it.
That is, someone else can too!
Now Donn, of course, doesn't need skills like "stealing contracts", and his movies can be invested by himself. But Natalie Portman is different, she loves acting and looks forward to working with great directors and enjoying the fun of acting.
The "stealing contract" that Don has in hand is for Natalie in the future.
His fame is very famous in Hollywood, and his influence is very large, but it is impossible to threaten top directors like Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, and Clint Eastwood with this kind of power.
"Stealing the contract" is his last resort.
But now...... Someone else has chosen.
"This precious skill is on you, Tom Cruise, and you should be content too!"
Don snorted coldly, trying to erase Tom Cruise's name from the contract.
But as soon as he made his move, he suddenly paused, "Who should I replace Tom Cruise with?"
The reason why the project "Minority Report" was born is largely because Tom Cruise is the male lead, such a cash cow, which can quickly attract a lot of investment, and there is almost no resistance in the process of project establishment.
Don knew that if the male number one was replaced, the project would likely get into trouble. Even Steven Spielberg could boycott the auction and have Twentieth Century Fox cancel the project.
In order to ensure that the project can continue and that Natalie has a chance to work with Steven Spielberg, it is necessary to choose a superstar who is big enough and has enough box office appeal to satisfy the investors and producers!
"Who should I choose?"
Don sat there for five minutes, unable to come up with a suitable person.
Mel gibson?
The coffee position is naturally enough, but he is preparing for Tang En's film project "Tianzhao", and he lacks skills.
Tom hanks?
Obviously impossible, he took the route of acting drama films, not suitable for action movies.
Will Smith?
Black, inappropriate!
Leonardo Ricaprio?
This kid finished filming "New York Vice" and is on vacation in Hawaii, such a lazy person can't film continuously.
As for people like Brad Pitt and George Clooney, they have the qualifications and strength to play the male lead, but they lack box office appeal.
After thinking for a long time, a name came to Don's mind, and his eyes lit up, "Yes!
Donn called Sophia Coppola, "Do you know about Minority Report?"
Sofia Coppola is wholeheartedly conceiving her new screenplay "Lost in Translation", and laughs: "You know, Spielberg's new film has been hyped for several years, what's wrong?"
Tang En said bluntly: "I plan to let your cousin be the male number one, what do you think?"
"Huh?" exclaimed Sofia Coppola, "this...... Isn't the male number one Tom Cruise? It's been made public a long time ago!"
Don said disdainfully: "I planned to let Nat play the female number one, but Tom Cruise didn't know what to do and wanted to exclude her, so I could only be polite." β
Sofia Coppola knew his temper, but was surprised, "Donn, you're not kidding, are you? How is this possible? That's not the film you invested in, trying to squeeze out Tom Cruise...... Oh my God!"
Obviously, in her opinion, this is simply impossible.
Tom Cruise is the cash cow of the major studios, he can't grab it, and he still rushes out?
Unless it is a film invested by Donn Pictures, it is impossible for any production company to refuse Tom Cruise!
"If I say I can do it, I can do it! Is Tom Cruise amazing? Can he compare to me?" Donn's words were full of disdain.
Sophia Coppola frowned and said, "Of course you're amazing, but ......"
"Okay, Sophia, I'm not here to argue with you, I'm here to tell you the result!" Donn interrupted, "Your cousin...... The last film, "Sixty Seconds of Speed", was not good at the box office, and a large part of it was due to me. Also, his new film "Wind Whisperer" ...... I'm not optimistic, just like "Pearl Harbor", now the economy is sluggish, and war movies are not popular. You must know that if the box office of two consecutive commercial blockbusters is not beautiful enough, it will affect his coffee position. β
As soon as she said this, Sofia Coppola became nervous, and Donne's judgment in terms of movies never missed.
"You...... Can you really make him the male lead of Minority Report?"
"Of course, but I don't have his contact information, I'm afraid he has an appointment. β
"No, idle, I just met him the day before yesterday!" Sofia Coppola paused, "Well, I'll let him know and let him call you." β
After hanging up the phone, Don sighed, thinking of Nicolas Cage's personality, gave him a headache.
This person has a bit of a haughty and eccentric personality, and he has met several times, but he hasn't spoken much.
Of course, a large part of the reason is that Nicolas Cage's partner is Jerry Bruckheimer, Donn's nemesis!
However, Donn's attitude towards Nicolas Cage and Michael Bay will be diametrically opposed.
Although they are both Jerry Bruckheimer's horses, Nicolas Cage has not spoken ill of Donn in front of the media, even when "Sixty Seconds" was suppressed by "Spider-Man" last year, he was very calm.
What's more, Don and the Coppola family have a good friendship and take care of each other, and they must be able to help Nicolas Cage.
Such a superstar of action movies with superb acting skills is rare in Hollywood.
It's a pity if you sink into Hollywood and become the king of bad movies.
This is a loss for the entire industry.
Ten minutes later, Donn received a phone call, the first time he had spoken to Nicolas Cage.
"Mr. Walker, you...... Can you really make me the hero of "Minority Report"?" Nicolas Cage used honorifics, his voice visibly agitated.
Tang En smiled: "It's good to call me Don En, as for whether it will work out or not...... Hehe, I'm going to try it, and if you want, I'll talk to Twentieth Century Fox. β
"Yes, of course I do!" Nicolas Cage said quickly, "In fact, two years ago, when director Spielberg announced that he was going to make "Minority Report", I asked my agent to follow suit, but he had already decided on the candidate. β
The corners of Tang En's mouth hooked, and he said lightly: "The producer, crew and director, I will solve this aspect, you and the agent should be in contact and cooperate." β
Nicolas Cage was silent for a moment, "Thank you, Mr. Walker. β
Don smiled, "You're welcome, friend." Also, the selection of films in the future...... Think about it a little more, and look at all the factors. β
"Well, I know. β
Nicolas Cage immediately stated that it was just ...... Did he really understand the subtle hint?
Donn shook his head.
I just hope that this guy can choose a clear path, and stop messing with Jerry Bruckheimer, one way to death.
After hanging up, Don found a new phone, edited a text message, and sent it out in groups.
"I think the male lead of Minority Report could be Nicolas Cage, and the female lead could be Natalie Portman. βDon Walker. β
Sent to: Tom Rothman, Jim Ganopouros, Jane de Bont, Steven Spielberg, Michael Ovitz, Ronald Schusett, Gary Goodman, Brian Lorde, Hilda Querry, Natalie Portman, Nicolas Cage, ......
Then, Donn put on his sunglasses again, found the place of the contract title, and without hesitation, erased the name of "Tom Cruise" and changed it to "Nicolas Cage".
"Are you sure you're using the 'Contract Stealing' skill?"
"Sure!"
All of a sudden, the situation changed!()
