Beverly Hills is not a mountain resort, but a subordinate city of Los Angeles, where celebrities and wealthy people gather.

Cruise Manor, located in Nanshan, has always been the focus of attention of the media and paparazzi.

Tom Cruise has a good habit of recuperation, and after working out early in the morning, he went to lie down on the bamboo chair on the balcony, sunbathed, and picked up the newspaper that had been prepared on the coffee table.

He was recently separating from Nicole Kidman, so much so that he hated watching entertainment boards, but the demands of his work and his professionalism forced him to do so.

Open the entertainment edition of the "Los Angeles Times", and what catches your eye is a few big words - "12 days after its release, the North American box office exceeded 100 million!"

This is a movie starring his wife, but some gossip makes him very reluctant to this movie.

However, with such an amazing result, people don't even feel jealous, only awe!

If "Titanic" is backed by huge investment and James Cameron at the helm, then the success of "My Grand Greek Wedding" is definitely a true portrayal of Donn's personal ability.

It is not uncommon in Hollywood to have small and large success stories, but those directors are most niche genre film directors.

But Donn is different, he can control a love disaster movie like "Titanic", a heartwarming drama like "My Grand Greek Wedding", and even a sci-fi action movie that will be released next year......

Such an all-round director, looking at Hollywood, that is, Spielberg, Kubrick and a few others, this is a master! Not even James Cameron!

Tom Cruise, who had always had a bad impression of Don because of his wife's rumors, put down the newspaper at this time, and groaned with half-squinted eyes.

"Rumors...... Is it true?"

Don has had scandals with many female stars, and based on Tom Cruise's experience, most of them are true, but between him and Nicole...... Is it true or not?

"Don is only twenty years old, but Nicole is already thirty years old!"

Tom Cruise's eyes suddenly opened, and he felt more and more that with Donn's genius, no matter how romantic he was, it was impossible to make such a big mistake.

"He's only been in the business for a few years, and how dare he tease Mrs. Cruise?"

Tom Cruise instantly felt that his attitude towards Don in the past was a little extreme.

Human nature is like this, when you are weak or in need of others, you will always find enough excuses for your own lowliness and the power of those in high positions.

Tom Cruise dialed a number, and Nicole's cold voice came from the other side: "Is there something wrong?"

"Nicole, I think we need to talk. ”

"I don't think it's necessary!"

"No, no, Nicole, listen to me, I've thought about it a lot during this time, and I found that there were too many misunderstandings and prejudices against you in the past. "Tom Cruise is very humble.

Nicole's voice was slightly hesitant, "Are you serious?"

"Of course!"

"I need a guarantee. ”

"Yes, I promise!" Tom Cruise's voice was sonorous, and he chatted with Nicole for a few more words, and finally melted a lot of ice, and then said, "By the way, Nicole, you have worked with Don Walker, can you ask him out?"

Nicole's delicate eyebrows raised slightly, "Donn?"

"Yes, the report in the newspaper has caused too many misunderstandings, and I think we need a face-to-face communication to resolve this misunderstanding, so as not to be provoked by the gossip tabloids. ”

"You're too worried, Don never cares about the gossip. ”

"No, no, no, dear, I think it's necessary. ”

"I don't think it's necessary!"

Nicole is very resolute, she believes that Donne's mind is one thing, and the main thing is that she doesn't want Don and Tom to face each other, which will make her very uncomfortable.

Tom Cruise saw that her attitude was unquestionable, frowned, and his voice was slightly deep, "Nicole, you know, because of the filming of "Eyes Wide Open", my "Mission Impossible" sequel has been delayed for a long time!"

Nicole Kidman's anger, which had subsided a lot, instantly resurfaced.

She finally understood the true intention of his call today!

An extreme disappointment poured into Nicole's heart.

She instinctively wanted to refuse, but when the words came to her lips, she stopped.

She laughed at herself in her heart, and had the idea of wanting to help him, even if it was to make up for her own debts and upcoming mistakes in the future.

With the box office success of "My Grand Greek Wedding" and the widely acclaimed acting skills in the media, the commitment between her and Don N seemed inevitable.

Especially recently, her film appointments have increased, and many salaries of four or five million have been rejected by her agent, which is hard to imagine in the past.

Now, she's asking for eight million dollars!

Of course, she understands who is the biggest helper behind all this change.

"Okay, I'll make an appointment with him and see if he's free tomorrow night. ”

Nicole Kidman's voice was as light as water, without the slightest emotion.

Mrs. Cruise's title, she's had enough!

……

Hollywood film is an industrial process, and each position has a clear scope of work.

For directors, especially young directors, they don't even have the power to modify their lines during filming. If you want to revise it, you can, communicate with the producer, and receive an extra screenwriter's salary.

The director, in the final analysis, is the job of showing the producer's thoughts and ideas through the camera lens, and he has very little power.

Producer talent is the true heart of a film.

The success of the Avengers series of movies in the previous life also fully shows that in Hollywood assembly line movies, the director's position is no different from that of a wage earner.

Producer, also called producer. As the name suggests, the post-production of a film is the scope of the producer's work, including rendering, film collection, editing, etc.

It's just that the work is too complicated, and the producers usually supervise multiple works at the same time, deliberately delegating power. Of course, many producers are half-and must also be delegated.

And many directors are willing to enjoy part of the power of post-production for the integrity of their works.

But with Donne, that's not a problem at all!

His "handpicked" assistant producer Morgan Carrey in charge of post-production, "produces" attribute 98!

With such a big bull at Lucasfilm, Don doesn't need to worry about it at all.

What's more, the first producer of the movie is George Lucas, and Donn is even more relieved. With this old guy supervising, Don is sure that even if he does not participate in the post-production of the entire movie from beginning to end, the quality of the film presented in the end will not be too bad.

And Donne's "decentralization" posture of fishing for three days and drying nets for two days was even praised by George Lucas, saying that he was young and modest, knew how to advance and retreat, and knew how to measure, and his future achievements would inevitably be very high.

Don was amused when he heard it.

He obviously wants to be lazy, but in Lucas's eyes, he has become a humble teenager who is not greedy for power, which is really ridiculous.

"Generous money, what job is more comfortable than being a director?"

Don thought beautifully.

Of course, he understands that the post-production of the film is the key to the final presentation on the big screen, especially a movie like Star Wars, which is almost full of special effects.

But Don doesn't care, a slight deviation in concept, aesthetics, and rhythm is not worth arguing with Lucas again for this, as long as the big framework is dominated by him - remove the young age, cut the redundant foreshadowing, and add dazzling and wonderful fight scenes.

Donne's current focus, in addition to the North American box office of "My Grand Greek Wedding", the acquisition of Marvel Entertainment Group, and the industrial layout of "Harry Potter", there is also a key point - system vulnerabilities!

According to the instructions of "Mirror Possession", Don can "possess" another person's professional abilities from the start of a movie to the final cut of the final film.

In other words, from June to March next year, during the filming and production of "Star Wars Episode 1: The Ghost Man Menace", Donn will have Steve Spielberg's professional ability.

But now Don is very leisurely, and it is only the beginning of September at this time, and there is still nearly half a year to go......

The ability to "mirror possession" is invaluable, and it takes Don as a producer, director, or actor to accumulate $1 billion at the global box office to get it once.

Don doesn't have a single one of them at hand, and if he wants to get it next time, he will have to wait until the release of the movie "Star Wars Episode I: The Ghost Man Menace".

In that case, why not seize the time, take advantage of this system loophole, and use Steve Spielberg's professional ability to make another movie within half a year?

Tang En pondered for a long time, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was reliable!
