After half an hour, Donn calmed down his emotions before picking up the phone on the desk and dialing a number - Tom Rothman, the CEO of Twentieth Century Fox.

"Tom, Nat's business...... You know that, right?"

Tang En's tone was very flat, but there was a bit of coldness mixed in the flat tone.

Tom Rothman had suffered too much from Don, and he didn't want to mess with this demon king again, so he quickly explained, "Don, I know about this, but ...... There's nothing I can do. ”

"Can't do anything?" Donn's tone was a little sarcastic.

Tom Rothman said, "I'm the CEO of Twentieth Century Fox, and I'm responsible for the interests of the company. And...... You know I'm from an administrative background, and I don't care much about the content of the film, these are the actions of the production department. ”

Don said lightly: "So, you plan to sit back and watch my girlfriend be kicked out of the crew by Tom Cruise?"

"No, no, no, it's not a kick out, hehe, it's a normal cooperation, and...... I will order the crew to pay Miss Portman a certain amount of compensation. ”

Don sneered, "You think I'll be short of money?"

Tom Rothman sighed: "Donne, let's be honest with you, I received a notice of this matter two days ago, and my first reaction was of course to stop it, but I can't do it arbitrarily. "Minority Report" is produced by a total of seven film companies, in addition to Twentieth Century Fox, Tom Cruise Film Productions, Legendary Pictures, DreamWorks, Amperin Entertainment, Blue Tulip Pictures, and Ronald Schusett/Gary Goodman Productions. Their investment target, the focus is Tom Cruise. ”

Donn's reaction was calm, "Steven has the same attitude?"

"He ......"

Tom Rothman paused, "He shouldn't have objected." ”

Tang En snorted coldly, "I know!"

Hanging up the phone, Don called Steven Spielberg directly, and his tone was very unkind, "Steven, I need an explanation!"

"Yes...... Miss Portman?"

"Looks like you're well aware. ”

Donn's words are full of sarcasm,

Spielberg is the most representative director in Hollywood today, a generation of legends, and he was not very happy with Donn's tone, and said in a deep voice: "Donn, you are also a director, I have always thought ...... You can understand this. ”

"Understand?" Don sneered, "I can't understand! If I'm not mistaken, half a year ago, we already agreed that Natalie would play the female lead." ”

Spielberg said, "Yes, I promised. But as I said, I'm just a director, and the biggest producer of this project is Twentieth Century Fox, and they have real decision-making power! Natalie is your girlfriend, we all know that, but a movie is a movie, and Natalie's box office appeal ...... It's not at all the same level as Tom Cruise!"

"Steven, are you repentant?"

"I have never regretted it, but I can't personally represent the crew, and everything about the crew must be based on future interests. ”

The corners of Donne's mouth twitched, "I never think that benefits are more important than promises!"

Spielberg pinched his tone and said, "Donn, I'll say it again, I'm just a film director on this project, and the share of investment that DreamWorks is involved in is not even as good as Tom Cruise's production company." So you should know that I don't have much say in this matter. ”

"Where's the right to speak?"

"Twentieth Century Fox, of course!"

Tang En laughed angrily, "Steven, you really do a good job of playing this Tai Chi pusher!"

"Tai Chi?"

Spielberg apparently couldn't grasp the word right away.

"Hmph!" Donn's reaction was very cold, "Steven, the way this matter was handled, I'm very disappointed in you!"

After speaking, he disregarded etiquette and hung up the phone directly.

A Tom Rothman and a Steven Spielberg are both good players, and they have experienced this kind of thing a lot, and the level of shirking responsibility is higher than the other.

After thinking about it for a while, Donn decided to face the central figure of the problem - Tom Cruise!

Until now, Don didn't believe that Tom Cruise dared to challenge his authority, maybe it was an excuse that the producers found that Natalie was not suitable for the role of female number one.

I called and asked CAA's Brian Lorde, and only then did I learn that Tom Cruise had jumped ship to MA agency three months ago, and the current agent was her cousin Leigh Ann DeWitt.

As soon as Don heard it, he basically understood.

A family-style agent, on the surface, seems to take better care of the artist and better meet the interests of the artist.

But in fact, just like a family-owned business, it does far more harm than good.

Donn asked for Leigh DeWitt's phone number and called.

"Hello, this is Lili, who are you?"

"Donn. ”

"Donn?"

"Don Walker!"

Leigh DeWitt's voice changed suddenly, "Done Walker......? Are you the director?"

Don wasn't in the mood to talk nonsense with her, "You know the Minority Report project, right?"

"Yes. ”

"Tom Cruise squeezed out my girlfriend?"

Leigh DeWitt calmed down, realized the question in Donn's words, was silent for a while, and said slowly: "Mr. Walker, this is a matter for the crew of "Minority Report", it seems to ...... It has nothing to do with you, does it?"

"Huh?"

Don was stunned, he couldn't believe that in Hollywood, anyone else dared to talk to him like this?

Tom Cruise, the new agent, has a lot of emotional intelligence with him!

"Mr. Walker, I know you're a big shot, and I can't afford to mess with you, but the movie is just done according to the rules of the movie, right?"

Although Leigh DeWitt is very old, she has just entered Hollywood, and she is a bit of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, "The choice of the market determines everything." Tom has a higher appeal, greater fame and influence than Miss Portman, and the crew of "Minority Report" should be dominated by him, right?"

She thought that the commercial market in Hollywood was of the same nature as the cosmetics marketing market where she had worked in the past, and it was even a bit of a lesson to Donn.

Don laughed, "So Tom Cruise is qualified to exclude others?"

Leigh DeWitt rightly said, "Everyone loves Tom more, that's true, for Miss Natalie's experience...... I'm deeply sorry. Tom is the male number one, and he must choose a female number one who can play the role, Miss Portman...... Too tall. ”

"Haha!"

This time, Don really couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Natalie too tall?

It's the funniest joke in the world!

Don has dated so many girls, except for the little secretary Ella Fisher, Natalie is the most petite.

Leigh DeWitt came up with such a ridiculous reason, saying that she was too tall to play with Tom Cruise, what nonsense...... Huh?

Tom Cruise's height ......

Well, in front of the emperor superstar, Natalie is indeed tall enough.

"Mr. Walker, do you have any other questions?" said Leigh DeWitt, uncomfortable at Donn's unbridled laughter.

Tang En shook his head and said lightly: "Give you one last chance, did you really decide like this?"

"What?"

Leigh DeWitt was very angry and said angrily: "Mr. Walker, are you threatening me? I respect you as a great director, but if you want to use such means to bully a newcomer, I will not be arrested! Don't forget, I am Tom Cruise's agent, and I am his cousin!"

Tang En was angry and funny, and hung up the phone directly.

The free market economy has filled this stupid woman's brain with paste.

Is Hollywood a free market?

You can say yes, provided there is no interference from the big guys.

Now, Don En is paying attention to it personally, this stupid woman is still screaming idiotically, do you really think that Don En can't do anything with Tom Cruise?

Yes, Tom Cruise is indeed a superstar!

Even if Tang En Pictures doesn't cooperate with him, other film companies will rush to make an appointment with him and hold him in the palm of their hands.

Like Steven Spielberg, Tom Cruise doesn't have the strength to compete head-on with Donn, but at least he has the right to take a detour.

However, they obviously don't know that the reason why Don En is what he is today is because he has a piece in his hand that no one else has...... Secret Weapon!
