"The manager is not the point, the point is my current status as a producer!" Wagner winked smugly at Leeter, "CAA's bundling service is essentially a combination of the identities of an agent and a producer, what you did with the help of Mr. Ovitz, now I have done the same!" ”

"Well, congratulations!"

Litte changed his hand to hold champagne, shook Wagner's hand, and when he wanted to pull it back, he was pulled by the other party, "I know there were some small misunderstandings between us when I was at CAA, but those are all in the past, what do you think?" ”

Looking at Wagner's "sincere" expression, Litte felt as uncomfortable as swallowing a fly.

"Of course." He nodded very reluctantly, thinking about how to get rid of this guy.

"Tom and I have bought the rights to a TV series to adapt it into a movie, and Paramount has decided to work with us, but the director of the film has not yet found the right person."

Wagner glanced at Littlet and continued: "Tom and I have always thought that Locke is a great fit to direct this film, so we wanted to ......"

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, Locke has been really busy lately." Litter politely rejected Wagner's proposal, and at the same time silently told himself in his heart that he could only help Ovitz to this point, and any more would be overstepping.

Wagner keenly felt a hint of hesitation in Leete's eyes, and asked with a sneer: "I take the liberty of asking, can you really call the shots for Locke?" ”

Lee's gaze suddenly turned cold.

"What do you think?"

"Don't be nervous, I'm just kidding." Wagner waved his hand, "Maybe you should listen to Tom's plan first." And then make a decision. ”

The other party intended to ease the atmosphere, and Li Teh didn't want to keep a face.

"Please!"

"You should have heard the TV show that Tom and I bought the rights to. Mission Impossible, which aired on CBS from 1968 to 1973. The story revolves around the U.S. Mission Impossible Intelligence Agency (MIF), which tells the story of a group of skilled agents who carry out various impossible missions. We've already asked Robert Downey to be the screenwriter for the film, and Tom will be the lead actor for the film himself. ”

Wagner gradually increased the scales, and Leeter's expression finally showed obvious hesitation.

"Are you serious?"

"Of course!" The smile on Wagner's face became even brighter, "Didn't you notice that there is no representative of Paramount among the guests here today?" I have obtained the consent of Paramount, as long as Rock is willing to direct this film, the salary of five million plus 4% of the box office share will definitely not be lower than the treatment of "The Seven Deadly Sins". ”

Litt was silent for a moment. In the end, I compromised.

"Okay, I'll communicate with Locke about this......"

"No, no!" Wagner interrupted Leeter again, "If it's just to tell you about it, a phone call will be solved, Tom and I are here today to talk to Director Locke personally." ”

Litte was really worried that he would not be able to help but splash a glass of wine on Wagner's face, this guy made it clear that he didn't take him seriously, with a high-minded and commanding attitude, really thought he didn't have a temper at all?

Just when he was about to have a seizure. Next to him, Tom Hanks coughed.

He allowed Wagner to make fun of Leeter, but he didn't want to watch Wagner provoke Littler and end up messing up the whole thing.

"Mr. Rhett, I personally would love to get to know Director Locke. Even if the collaboration doesn't work out, I want to make friends with Director Locke. ”

For the sake of Tom Hanks' face, Leeter decided not to bother with Wagner.

"Jude would be happy to meet a friend like Mr. Cruise!" Lee looked in the direction Jude was standing. Shrugging regretfully at Tom Cruise, he said, "But now he's probably not going to have the time." ”

Jude is now surrounded by a group of people, and even Kate is pushed aside. At this time, it was impossible for Li Tet to bring people directly in the past.

Tom Cruise understands that.

"It's okay, I can wait a little longer."

Although there is still an eyesore Wagner standing next to him. But having the opportunity to contact a top star like Tom Cruise, Litt was still very happy, and in order not to make Cruise feel bored while waiting, Litt deliberately talked about some other topics.

"Mrs. Cruise didn't come today?"

"Nicole went to the bathroom and will be back soon."

Tom Cruise looked up into the hall, and although he was wearing shoes that had increased inward, the disadvantage of being 1.7 meters tall was still manifested, and his vision was quickly blocked.

"Someone's coming." Wagner whispered a reminder behind Cruise.

Cruise turned his head and saw Kate in a black and gold one-shoulder dress walking over.

Although Cruise's wife, Nicole Kidman, is also a big beauty, this does not prevent him from being attracted to Kate's beautiful face, and he even lost his mind a little the moment Kate approached.

I have to admit that Kate in full costume is indeed radiant, which is not only Tom Cruise, but also Wagner.

"Where's Jude?"

When Litt saw Kate coming, he subconsciously looked in the direction where Jude was standing just now, and then found that the person was gone.

"Went to the bathroom."

After answering Lee's question, Kate noticed Tom Cruise standing aside.

Li Tet raised his hand, "I don't need to introduce this one, right?" ”

Kate was not as surprised to see Tom Cruise here as she was by Leete, and politely reached out and said, "Hello, Mr. Cruise! ”

Tom Cruise has seen a lot of the kind of woman who is a nymphomaniac as soon as he comes to him, and Kate's reaction has aroused his interest, especially since Kate also has a mesmerizing classical temperament that can impress people at a glance.

Kate is wearing a pair of ten-centimeter heels today, and she has her hair done, and it is nothing to stand next to Jude, who is 1.8 meters, but the difference is obvious when she stands in front of Tom Cruise.

Tom Cruise was also aware of the problem when shaking hands, and his expression couldn't help but be a little embarrassed.

Litt immediately changed the subject when he realized the problem: "Mr. Hanks is interested in inviting Jude to be the director of his new film, and he will also be the producer of the film. ”

Wagner on the side was still waiting for Lee's introduction, but he didn't expect Lytt to skip him directly and talk to Kate about Tom Hanks' new play, and he was immediately very angry.

"Rhett, you seem to have forgotten to say something, I'm also the producer of this movie!"

Tom Hanks, who finally broke free from the shadow of height and regained his confidence, heard this, and secretly scolded Wagner for being a fool, I should have been the leader in this situation, what kind of show did you jump out to steal?

Litte immediately apologized and said: "It turned out to be a co-producer, my mistake!" ”

Before Wagner could get complacent, he saw Tom Hanks looking at him with an unhappy face, and then he realized that he had just shown too much and stole the show.

"It's mainly Tom who is in charge, and I'm just in charge of assisting him."

This remedy is timely, and Tom Hanks's face is finally better.

Wagner breathed a sigh of relief, but he also held a grudge against Litter, who had secretly set him up.

"Miss Beckinsale can come and audition for this film if she has time, I think the heroine in the film is a good fit for you, especially if Locke is the director, you can work together again."

Tom Hanks found his offer appealing, as couples want to spend more time together and add a hype gimmick to the film.

Even Litt couldn't help but be moved, but he didn't expect that it was Kate herself who rejected the proposal in the end.

"Thank you, Mr. Crews, for your kindness, but if you really want Rock to be the director of this film, then I'm afraid I can only say sorry for your invitation."

"Why?" Cruise asked subconsciously.

He was surprised that he had been rejected.

"If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Cruise and your wife have only worked together on one film since their marriage, and with Mr. Cruise's current status, it should be a simple matter to win the heroine of her own movie for your wife, right? Why don't you do it? ”

Kate's rhetorical question silenced Tom Cruise.

This question is a bit complicated, on the one hand, the husband and wife often appear in the same movie, and the audience will quickly get bored; On the other hand, Tom Cruise doesn't really want his wife to be too famous, although the other party has a strong desire to be an actor and God-given beauty and talent, Tom Cruise doesn't want her to get out of his control.

Tom Hanks has something to hide, but Kate has no concerns.

"Rock has made a total of three films so far, and I have starred in two of them, and although we have always loved each other deeply, it is really not necessary to work together on every film."

Although Kate said this to Tom Cruise, it also reminded Leete.

The relationship between Jude and Kate is not a good thing for the long-term development of their careers.

"That's a real pity." Between looking for Jude to be the director and Kate to be the heroine, Tom Cruise finally chose the former.

Kate smiled and shook her head, others might think that it would be a pity to lose the opportunity to work with Tom Hanks, but she didn't think that way at all.

Even she thinks that Tom Hanks' desire to find Jude as a director will be disappointed, because a movie like "Mission Impossible", although I don't know what the specific content is, it can be seen from the adaptation of the classic TV series that this is a purely commercial film.

With Jude's current appetite, he may not be willing to eat this "burger" that looks hearty but does not have much nutrition. (To be continued......)
