The game between labor and management has permeated all aspects of this commercial society, and Murphy and his Stanton studio are certainly no exception, as he said before, few fools will listen to people fire a burst of mouth cannons, and they will tremble, as if they had met God, and they are willing to serve others in vain.

Like his filming and production team, they have been following closely over the years, in addition to Murphy being able to bring them fame, there is also a high income in the circle compared to the same industry.

Leonardo DiCaprio is indeed worth $20 million, but Murphy's previous thoughts, Xiao Lizi is in a hurry to hit the Oscar for Best Actor, maybe he will take a salary cut for this, so that he can also profit from it, but it turns out that Leonardo DiCaprio is not stupid either.

Both people want to profit from the other, but they don't want to make too many compromises, and the negotiation can only break down.

Of course, Leonardo DiCaprio is also inseparable from Murphy's desire to work with a superstar once.

When the negotiations broke down, he threw away all these thoughts, and the $20 million salary was better than giving Leonardo DiCaprio to his own people.

Murphy decided that the male lead of the autobiographical film would be better off using people from Stanton's party.

As we enter February, the time for the 81st Academy Awards is getting closer and closer, and Oscar-related news is now hot.

"Are you going to the Oscars?"

In the restaurant, Gal Gadot is eating his own vegetable salad while chatting with Murphy, the two of them have their own jobs to be busy with now, especially Gal Gadot is studying the producer course at the same time, and preparing for his graduation thesis, but no matter how busy they are, they will also have dinner together, and their feelings need time to communicate and cohesion, even if the topics they talk about are some gossip and scandals.

Gal Gadot put down his knife and fork and looked at Murphy, "The police haven't heard from me?" ”

Murphy shook his head and swallowed the food in his mouth, "No, this kind of thing is difficult to investigate?" ”

He thought for a moment, then said, "I'm not going to the awards ceremony." ”

Hearing Murphy say this, Gal Gadot laughed happily, regardless of whether this threat incident was a prank or not, Murphy did not take risks, it always reassured her.

Murphy took the initiative to change the subject and talked about the gossip in the circle, "You know, the hottest entertainment news right now is not the Oscars. ”

Gal Gadot also came to be interested, "Oscar is being stolen from the limelight again? ”

In February and March every year, the center of Hollywood's conversation is basically the Oscars, but with the decline of the Oscars' influence in recent years, there are always people who jump out to steal the limelight from the Oscars during this time period.

"Who is it this time?" She asked curiously.

Murphy picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth, saying, "Tom Cruise." ”

"He's getting divorced again?" This was Gal Gadot's first reaction.

It's no wonder she reacts this way, Hollywood has been rumored that Katie Holmes is not Tom Cruise's own choice at all, but a wife carefully selected for him by the Church of Scientology, which he believes in.

Murphy also knows why Gal Gadot thinks that.

Tom Cruise is said to have been controlled by the "Church of Scientology" for nearly three decades, and even three wives have been chosen by the church.

"Don't make any jokes about homosexuality, don't add spoof titles to movies starring Tom Cruise, don't call 'Top Gun' 'topgay' (chief gay), call 'Mission: Impossible' 'marriage: impossible'; Do not talk to anyone about Mr. Crews's male friends; Must live according to the rules of the Galactic Federation ......"

These strange and harsh terms are the details of Tom Cruise's prenuptial agreement with Katie Holmes that are rife within Hollywood.

In addition to the number of agreements that are thousands long, the circle also expressed confusion about the "Church of Scientology" in the agreement, such as: "Once Xenu returns to Earth, Katie Holmes must accompany Tom Cruise on the aircraft carrier or ship of her husband's choice, otherwise all property will be confiscated." ”

The most popular theory is that Tom Cruise and Katie Helms' marriage was just a joke, each taking what he wants, and that Tom Cruise's marriage was for the sole purpose of expressing loyalty to Scientology and avoiding homosexual rumors.

Although the prenuptial agreement cannot be confirmed, it does bring Scientology, a cult-like religion, to the forefront.

Murphy has even heard more bizarre rumors.

It is said that shortly after the filming of the film Magnolia in 1999, Tom Cruise received an invitation from Scientology management to politely invite him to class for a training session for the so-called "Troublemaker/Oppressor".

The purpose of the course is to strengthen the faith of believers, and at the same time to identify exactly the cause of the problems in the lives of the Church - that is, the "oppressors", because of which the Scientologists cannot smoothly embark on the journey to the "bridge", and in the eyes of the Scientology leadership, the source of Tom Cruise's troubles is his second wife, Nicole Kidman.

The alert began in late 1998 with an interview with Nicole Kidman in Newsweek. In an interview, Nicole Kidman said: "I believe in a little bit of Buddhism, a little bit of Scientology. But I was a Catholic since I was a child, and I am still largely a Catholic today. ”

In the eyes of Scientology's top brass, this is not a good sign, because Nicole Kidman is married to a living sign of Scientology, and her impure faith has made her a "possible source of trouble".

So, the results of the rest were seen by everyone.

Similar rumors exist between Tom Cruise and Katie Helms.

In 2005, in response to speculation that "Tom Cruise is gay" and to restore his image as a healthy and mighty hero among fans, Scientology began to secretly find a suitable marriage partner for him among Hollywood actresses, including Scarlett Johansson and Sophia Vergara, and the church also privately promised to bring great career rewards and financial benefits to Tom Cruise's new love.

Many of the rumors are not groundless, and some of the details of the rumors make it difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, Murphy heard Robert Downey Jr. mention that Hollywood star Will Smith, who is also a follower of Scientology, first introduced Sophia Vergara to Tom Cruise, and the actress, who was not very famous at the time, felt good about Tom Cruise.

Subsequently, Sophia Vergara was scheduled to visit the "Scientology Hollywood Celebrity Center" in Los Angeles, but this trip completely changed Sophia Vergara's view of the marriage, and she found Scientology very boring and expressed her reluctance to join the church.

This marriage fell apart.

But "Scientology" did not give up, and it was also in this year that Tom Cruise himself served as the producer of "Mission Impossible 3", and Scientology hoped to use the heroine of the film as a bait to attract Hollywood actresses who have not really become popular.

Scarlett Johansson and now Tom Cruise's wife, Katie Holmes, were both shortlisted, and the end result was that Scarlett Johansson had no interest in Tom Cruise and Scientology and did not respond at all, and Katie Helms, although she did not get the heroine of the film, became the object of Tom Cruise's start of dating.

Speaking of which, Katie Holmes is not the prettiest of the few and is not the youngest, but most importantly, she can accept and support Scientology, and has promised to sign a secret agreement issued by Scientology.

"Tom Cruise hasn't been going very well in the past few years." Gal Gadot also knows a little bit about the Hollywood superstar, "He is also said to have a conflict with Scientology, and he doesn't have a good relationship with Paramount Pictures, which he has been working with." ”

"Just this morning." Murphy talked about this gossip that could steal the Oscar limelight, "Somer Lei Shidong personally announced that Paramount Pictures has ended its cooperation with Tom Cruise. ”

Gal Gadot thought for a moment and asked, "Haven't they been working together for more than a decade?" How did it suddenly break. ”

Murphy shrugged, "Same as my negotiations with Leonardo DiCaprio, the issue of the distribution of benefits. ”

Paramount Pictures broke off its more than a decade-long partnership with Tom Cruise, a parting of the ways that sent Hollywood by storm.

This marked the beginning of a series of spoiled stars that Hollywood's major studios, including Stanton Studios, had been pampered with, and the domino effect ensued, with ABC canceling a production deal with Harrison Ford's DreamWorks for a mini-series about the "Holocaust"; Morgan Creek Productions was also outraged by the poor performance of female star Lindsay Lohan on the set and directly changed the cast; Stanton Studios also replaced two actresses in "Game of Thrones" one after another, especially the character of Natalie Dormer, who shouted a significant increase in salary that did not match her identity, died directly in the new season......

Superstar is a scarce resource, but when the superstar's price is getting higher and higher, taking away more and more profits from production factories and distributors, the capital that pursues profit maximization finally chooses to restrict the star family in this era of declining superstar appeal.

Hollywood studios can be said to have had enough of the sky-high prices demanded by celebrities, which eventually led to a huge reversal of the industry pendulum: what constitutes star power and how big star strength can be is no longer up to the brokerage company, but should let investors and actual market appeal decide.

In this era of serious homogenization of Hollywood commercial films and the main visual effects, the pulling role of superstars in a film has undoubtedly been significantly reduced, and more and more commercial productions are giving up first-line superstars and using some relatively cheap actors.

Tom Cruise is the inevitable casualty of this reality.

As for why he was used for surgery, from Murphy's point of view, who else would the production company and investors choose if they didn't take him for surgery? (To be continued.) )
