Chapter 77: Mission Impossible
It's too much of a deception!
It turns out that this pair of dog men and women are really getting together, and I'm still in the dark!
An unprecedented sense of humiliation suddenly haunted my heart.
Tom Cruise picked up the glass and wanted to slam it to the ground!
However, at this moment, Don suddenly spoke, "Cooperation, okay, if we can cooperate, we will definitely be able to create a very classic action movie!"
Tom Cruise's hand as he raised his wine glass suddenly stopped, stunned for a second or two, slowly put it on the table, took a few deep breaths, and the professional smile that appeared at the beginning appeared on his tense face.
It's as if nothing had happened.
"If that's the case, that's great, and I believe Paramount will also strongly support you as the director of the sequel. Tom Cruise's eyes were all on Donn, Nicole Kidman's side, he didn't bother to take a look!
Nicole also obviously realized that the matter was exposed, her face was ugly, and she glared at Don viciously, feeling a little more relieved.
Tang En was unmoved, and smiled slightly, as if everything was under control.
This is Hollywood, celebrities, men and women love, it's normal to divide and merge.
With Tom Cruise's professional attitude and dedication, Donn is confident that he will stabilize the situation and not make a big fuss.
And it just so happens that he is planning to start shooting another movie recently to enjoy the benefits of a system vulnerability.
Now Tom Cruise has taken the initiative to come to the door, which also saves Don from the energy consumption of finding a film project.
"However, I am very short of time, and I strive to complete the project establishment, script, casting and other work within a month, and start filming in mid-October. Shoot in two or three months, and then spend another two months or so in post-production, aiming to finish the film before next year's Oscars. ”
Donn's words made Tom Cruise a little dumbfounded, this is too rushed, right?
"No, Donn, this can't be!" Tom Cruise shook his head frequently, "This is too hasty, Paramount will never agree, this is an A-level production with an investment of more than 100 million, and it will take two or three months for Paramount to set up a movie project alone." ”
Don frowned, "So inefficient?"
Tom Cruise said: "Don, the investment in this movie will reach 120 million, and any film company will attach great importance to it." ”
"That's going to be difficult...... Don mused for a moment, "can't you raise money through other institutions?"
"No, my production company has signed an agreement with Paramount, and the films in the "Mission Impossible" series must be invested and distributed by Paramount. Tom Cruise smiled instead, "Actually, don't worry, you just finished filming Star Wars, you definitely have to do post-production, we can wait slowly, maybe tomorrow summer, we can officially start shooting." ”
Don couldn't help but roll his eyes.
He now wants to catch a system loophole, and in the next six months, he can enjoy Spielberg's professional ability for free, complete a movie, and make a little money.
By the time of next summer, the opportunity to catch system vulnerabilities is gone, and in Donn's eyes, can you watch a movie like "Mission Impossible"?
It's ridiculous!
Don glanced at Nicole Kidman across from him and realized that her eyes could kill!
Holding back a smile, Don sighed, "I'm sorry, Tom, I already have other plans for next summer. ”
Tom Cruise's face suddenly became gloomy.
If the work can't be negotiated, then he can't tolerate the existence of this pair of dog men and women's "ambiguous" eyes.
Seeing that Tom Cruise was about to leave, Don hurriedly said: "Tom, can you tell me, what is your box office expectation for "Mission Impossible 2"?"
"What do you mean?"
Seeing that Don had no possibility of cooperation, Tom Cruise lost his original kind eyes and spoke in a very unkind tone.
Don smiled as if he had stolen something from someone else, "If it's not too demanding, maybe I can help." ”
"Oh?" Tom Cruise's eyes lit up and became agitated again, "Donn, are you serious?"
"Of course!" Don swore assuringly, "I said, Nicole and I are good friends, very good, very good, and you ...... It's her husband, at least for now, right?"
Donn's words almost made it clear that he had a secret affair with Nicole Kidman.
The angry Nicole couldn't bear it, she was now innocent with Don En, "Don En, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Tom Cruise frowned, ignoring Nicole's anger, his expression was indifferent, as if Donn's words just now had nothing to do with him, "That's great, I said, I'm looking forward to our cooperation." ”
"Nicole, you calm down first, it's okay, Tom isn't stingy and won't mind. Don smiled and pressed his hand against Nicole.
The angry Nicole Kidman gritted her teeth, eager to break him to pieces.
Tom Cruise also didn't like Donn's tone, it was simply an insult to him, "Director Walker, since it's about cooperation, it's work, I think personal friendship can be talked about slowly for a while." ”
"Of course, hehe. Okay, Tom, can you tell me what you expected?"
"The first "Mission Impossible" invested $80 million, grossed $180 million in North America and $450 million worldwide. We plan to invest $120 million in the sequel, but as for the box office expectations...... More than 200 million in North America and more than 500 million in the world, after all, there is more investment, and the box office should be more. ”
Nicole Kidman is already disappointed in Tom Cruise, especially because of his indifference to Donn's blatant "usurping your wife", which makes her even more angry.
This marriage is completely finished!
Hearing Tom Cruise's words, she couldn't help but sneer, "If you invest more, the box office must be high? The first movie has a good box office, and the sequel has failed miserably at the box office, and Hollywood is everywhere!"
"That's enough, Miss Kidman, Director Walker and I are talking about work, and you don't have a place to talk here!"
Tom Cruise couldn't bear it anymore, because he had to ask Don for him, he didn't have a good seizure, and his anger naturally poured out on Nicole.
"You!" Nicole Kidman was stunned, "Good, good, Tom Cruise, we're divorced!"
"Divorce must be done!" Tom Cruise didn't give an inch, his face was red and his neck was thick, how could he look like a superstar?
The initiator, Don Ern, couldn't help but snicker, he was leaving anyway, he was just adding fuel to the fire.
"Okay, don't make noise, there must be paparazzi outside, it's not good to be photographed. Nicole, you listen to me, first dissipate your breath and calm down. Donn's stance, as if Nicole Kidman was his woman, took the lead, "Tom, let's talk about work." ”
Tom Cruise's expression was flat, "This is my request!" As for you and Miss Kidman, I don't know anything, I don't care. ”
"Good!"
Don's heart is full of happiness, but I'm afraid that you won't make a request. Deals, he's the favorite.
"Don ......"
Nicole couldn't help but snort, she had already heard what Tom Cruise meant, and she was extremely disdainful in her heart. A man who trades his wife is also a man?
She didn't want Don to be coerced by him.
"It doesn't matter. Don pressed down on his hand again, gave her a comforting look, and then looked at Tom Cruise with a smile, "This matter is very simple, I recommend you a director, with him directed, to ensure that the box office of this sequel movie will meet your requirements." ”
"Isn't that right?" Tom Cruise frowned and said in an unhappy tone, "I don't have much budget space to hire a big director like Spielberg!"
Don laughed and said, "Tom, you're too worried, I promise, it's definitely cheap!"
"Oh, who is it?" said Tom Cruise, at last.
"John Wu. ”
Tom Cruise looked dazed.
Nicole Kidman sneered, "I don't know this, with "Changing Face", he was just selected for the Saturn Award for best director in June this year. ”
Tom Cruise suddenly realized, "The Asian director......? Can he?"
Donn frowned, "Is this racism?"
Tom Cruise was shocked, "Of course not!"
Tang En said lightly: "That's good, I said that John Wu can be the director of "Spy Disc 2", he will definitely be able to!"
"In case ......"
"No whatever!" Donn waved his hand in an angry manner, "Mr. Cruise, this is my promise!"
you_have_my_word, this is a very important sentence in the United States, especially for celebrities with status and influence, it is related to a person's promise.
……
The cooperation was reached quickly.
Tom Cruise also wanted to invite Don to be the producer of "Mission Impossible 2", but he refused.
The production cost of hundreds of thousands of dollars is not worth Tang En's waste of this spirit.
After a glass of wine, Donn smiled and said, "Then that's all for today, Nicole, will you go to my place?"
"Huh?"
Nicole Kidman was dumbfounded, Donn's words just now were all tactful hints, and now this is the most direct statement.
Tom Cruise shrugged his shoulders with an indifferent expression, "You discuss, I'll go first." Walking to the door of the private room, he suddenly turned around and added, "By the way, Miss Kidman, I will send you the documents of the divorce agreement as soon as possible, and everything is in accordance with the prenuptial agreement." ”
Soon, only Don and Nicole were left in the box.
Don En smiled evilly, proudly took the red wine, and tasted it lightly, "Nicole, I'll help you get him." ”
"Need me to thank you?"
Nicole Kidman crossed her arms and looked at Donn coldly.
Don smiled hesitantly, "Then you don't have to, anyway...... We had an agreement, haven't you forgotten?"
"It's just a private agreement, you can't talk about it to anyone else, especially Tom Cruise!" Nicole Kidman looked crazy.
"What's the difference?" Don looked nonchalant, "Anyway, you're both separated, and divorce is a matter of time." ”
"This is my private matter, I don't need you to worry about it!"
"Nicole, I'm sad when you say that. Don looked aggrieved, "You also saw that in order to solve your problem, I gave him a guarantee." ”
"That's your selfishness, it has nothing to do with me!" Nicole Kidman snorted.
"My selfishness?" Don smiled wickedly, "What selfishness do I have?"
"You don't want to ...... me yet," Nicole Kidman glared at him in annoyance, "Don, is it interesting?"
Don smiled, "I think it's interesting, let's go, go to my house!"
"Don't go!"
"Hey, isn't it?
"Okay?" Nicole Kidman's mouth crossed with a hint of mockery, "Didn't you promise that I would have an Oscar nomination?"
"Isn't that obvious?"
"Then wait for the nomination!"
With that, Nicole Kidman got up and left. This was Beverly Hills, and there was no way she could leave hand in hand with Donn.
Don yelled behind her, "Nicole, you can't run!"
Nicole Kidman glanced back, the corners of her mouth hooked, "At least for now, you can't catch up!"
