At present, Towne Pictures has 197 regular employees, of which more than 40 are Bill McNick's old subordinates.

However, most of the company's top management are Donn's old team, such as Andrew O'Haire, Manora Daggis, Shirley Herschler, Nina Jacobson, Glenn Feyero, Bryce Roach, Jonathan Nolan, Alan Ball and others.

It's not that Bill McNick lacks connections, it's that he has scruples.

Although Don intends to delegate power, this is Don En's private company after all. Bill McNick is now in control, and once he puts all the important positions in his own people, he has the opportunity to steal inside, and he doesn't want to arouse Donn's scruples.

But the current situation is different, the person he wants to recommend is really capable, and once he joins Tang En Pictures, it will bring great help to the company.

So even at the risk of being suspicious of Donn, Bill McNick would recommend him.

Don had a smile on his face, exuding excitement, "If he was wrongfully fired by Fox, then he must be resentful." The enemy of our enemies is our friend! Tell me, who is he?"

"West Cotton. ”

Don raised his eyebrows slightly, he hadn't heard of this person.

Bill McNick slowly explains: "In his early years, West worked in the consumer products division of CBS before moving to Fox in the '90s. In 1994, Twentieth Century Fox created Fox Searchlight, a new company similar to Miramax that specializes in producing and distributing niche independent films. ”

Donn's eyes lit up, "West Cotton is in charge?"

Bill McNick shook his head, "Tom Rothman, the president of Fox Searchlight at the time, and West took on the responsibility of creating the distribution department of Fox Searchlight. ”

Donn's goosebumps were bubbling up in surprise!

Isn't he looking for a talent who can help Don Pictures create an independent film distribution department?

West Cotton, it's definitely a send-off!

Bill McNick ignored Donn's excited eyes and slowly continued: "The Fox searchlight has been a huge success, with a profit of more than $20 million in just two years and 12 Oscar nominations. Later, because of this achievement, Tom Rothman was promoted to president of Twentieth Century Fox, and West Cotton ...... He was also gradually promoted to the position of president of the distribution department and global marketing director. ”

Don looked surprised, "You mean...... He was the head of the distribution department of Twentieth Century Fox?"

Bill McNick said: "Not only that, but he is also the marketing director, and he is also responsible for publicity and marketing. In the past few years, twentieth century Fox has released films, how the market has performed, you should be clear. ”

Don nodded heavily, "I understand, Bill, you contact him immediately and come to Don Pictures for an interview...... Oh no, it's not an interview, just say I want to talk to him. ”

"Good. ”

Bill McNick smiled slightly, and he admired Donn's courteous and virtuous corporal attitude.

It's remarkable that young people who have achieved so much can still have a humble attitude.

Even if his humility is only manifested in those who help him, this is enough.

……

Don has moved into his new home, Mid-Levels Estate.

The reason why it is not called "Down Manor" is because for Don it is only his temporary residence. He has asked George Paxton to find a location to build a truly top-of-the-line estate.

The reason why it is called "Mid-Levels Manor" is simple, because this smash is located on the highest part of the south slope of Beverly Hills.

Although it is only a temporary residence, in Beverly Hills, where every inch of land is valuable, the area here is already large and luxurious, and the construction layout is also magnificent. Even in Beverly Hills, where the rich are abundant, it is also a high-profile top luxury home.

In order to buy the "Mid-Levels Manor", Donn spent a full $42.5 million!

This is definitely the most expensive luxury property transfer in Beverly Hills in recent years!

It is said that the previous owner paid $4.5 million in taxes and fees!

The estate covers an area of 5,000 hectares and is built in the style of an 18th-century manor house on the Pacific Coast of the Northwest.

In the mansion, there are a total of 9 bedrooms, 12 bathrooms, 6 dining rooms, a dome library, a reception hall, and a Dolby Cinema. There are also showrooms, gyms, small bars, KTVs, small children's playgrounds, wine cellars, dance floors, and so on.

Moving to a new home, Don threw a house party and invited some of his best friends and work associates to share the joy of the moment.

Because it was a formal party, Taylor Swift was also brought over by his mother.

Although Taylor's home is also very large, it is a world of difference compared to Donne's "Mid-Levels Manor".

As soon as he saw Donn, little Taylor ran over excitedly, ignoring that Don was communicating with an uncle, jumping up and down cheering, "Donn, this place is so beautiful, I love it to death! Especially there is a fish pond over there, I see that there are so many beautiful fish in it!"

Don pressed her shoulder and lowered his voice, "Pay attention to your etiquette, haven't you seen so many uncles and aunts?"

Little Taylor pouted, disapproving, "They're not your employees, what's the big deal!"

Tang En frowned and said, "Taylor, you can't talk like that, they are my colleagues, and everyone is in an equal relationship." ”

"Men and women are equal?" little Taylor rolled his eyes and looked at him playfully.

Don was a little incredulous, "Of course it's equal, not only men and women are equal, but also racial and class equals. Didn't the teacher teach it in school?"

"But that's all textbook stuff, not reality. Little Taylor pursed his lips and muttered quietly.

Donn was very angry and said: "Equality is reality, Taylor, at your age, you have to establish the right values!"

Little Taylor snorted lightly: "But in "Titanic", there is no equality at all, how pitiful Jack is, because he is of low class and still a man, so he died in the sea." ”

Don was sweating profusely, with a black line in his head, "What kind of mess? "Titanic" was a hundred years ago, and there was a class distinction at that time, but now there is none. Besides, what does Jack's death have to do with gender?"

"Yes, he could have lived, but he gave Ruth the chance to survive. "Little Taylor is a man of great eloquence, she showed a talent for language at a very young age, writing poetry, singing, acting, debating, she could do anything.

Don looked at her in surprise, squatted down, and explained softly, "That's because of love! Jack gave up the chance to survive to Ruth, not because men and women were unequal, but because love transcended life. ”

Little Taylor tilted his head and bit a finger gently, "Does Ruth love Jack?"

Of course, Ruth loved Jack too. ”

"But why didn't Ruth give up the chance to survive to Jack, even if Jack didn't want to, they could die together, just like Romeo and Juliet, they could be martyred!"

Little Taylor's words made Don stunned, and he actually ...... I was speechless.

At this time, her mother Andrea Swift also came over, looking at Don's eyes, a little helpless.

Her daughter is really difficult to discipline.

Moreover, just as Don was thinking about the words to persuade her, little Taylor asked the next question, which directly caused him to almost run away.

"Natalie only has one boyfriend, but you have so many girlfriends, is this also equality?"

Andrea Swift saw Donn's embarrassed appearance and scolded loudly, "Taylor, you're so rude!"

Little Taylor pouted and looked at Don with teary eyes.

Tang En patted her little brain helplessly, and said casually, "You'll understand when you grow up, little girl!"

Then he stood up and said to Andrea Swift, "You can take Taylor around, there is a piano over there, and you can take her over to play a song." ”

Andrea smiled, "Forget it, she's only been learning piano for a few days, don't make jokes." ”

Waiting for Andrea to leave with little Taylor with her mouth pouted high, Leonardo Ricaprio came over with a smile, looked him up and down a few times, looked weird, and lowered his voice, "Changed taste?"

Don frowned, "What?"

Leonardo rolled his eyes angrily, "Pretend! You just keep pretending, how long have we known each other?

Don laughed and said, "Leon, you've drunk too much, aren't you?"

"It's just two cups of agave. Leonardo looked contemptuous, and then lowered his voice, "That little girl is very delicate, but ...... I advise you to be mindful of the impact, but don't go away from Woody Allen's ......."

"Stop!"

Don quickly interrupted and glared at him viciously, "Leon, don't give me nonsense, am I that kind of person?"

"Yes. ”

Leonardo nodded solemnly.

"Fuck off!"

Tang En angrily kicked him on the calf, "If you dare to say more, I will find a chance and give your Bundchen to you!"

"You...... You ......"

Leonardo has a lot of friends, but it is the first time to see someone as shameless as Donne, his face turned red as soon as he brushed it, and he stretched out his hand and pointed at Don's nose and couldn't speak.

Seeing him deflated, Don laughed heartily.

"What are you talking about, so happy?" Gisele Bundchen walked over appropriately, holding a cocktail, with a delicate figure, a straight waist, and a style.

"Let's go!"

Leonardo didn't give Don a chance to speak at all, and pulled up Gisele Bundchen to leave, "This person is so shameless, being friends with him is the thing I regret the most in my life." ”

"How can you say that, my dear? Gisele Bundchen shook his hand in displeasure and smiled at Donn.

Tang En also couldn't help but smile and said, "It's okay, Leon and I are used to running each other." Giselle, shall we have a drink?"

"Okay!"

Gisele Bundchen smiled sweetly, having no idea what was happening.

Leonardo had a bitter face, as if he had eaten a yellow lotus, begging for mercy, "Okay, Donne, I was wrong, I apologize to you, you ...... Don't me......"

Before he finished speaking, Don was already holding his stomach and bent over to laugh.

Leonardo's face, green and blue, is extraordinarily wonderful.

Gisele Bundchen was confused, "Don Leon, what the hell are you doing?"

"No, it's fine. Leonardo smirked, "We're just kidding." ”

As he spoke, he stomped Donn's brand-new leather shoes!

"Ahh

Gisele Bundchen listened to Donn's screams, his expression was slightly stunned, and his eyes wandered over the two of them, he was angry and funny.

Sure enough, just like Kate Winslet said, it's not good for these two guys to get together!
