I’m in Hollywood

"Hey, hello, Miss Kidman, I am Tom Cruise, you can call me Tommy, wow, you are so beautiful, more beautiful than the movie, can I call you Nicole?" Eric was chilling with Paula Wagner and heard the voice of Tom Cruise behind him.

"Of course, no problem, Mr. Cruise," Nicole’s voice rang, with a faint alienation in his tone, but Cruise didn’t seem to realize anything and started talking about other topics.

Paula Wagner smiled at Eric, and secretly blamed Cruise for being too inappropriate. Nicole Kidman was the female companion brought by Eric, and the relationship between the two was clear. .

Eric turned his head and saw that Cruise was already sitting opposite Nicole. He had to say to Paula Wagner: "So, Ms. Wagner, let's sit down."

"Okay, Eric, really... sorry," Paula Wagner whispered apologetically.

"It's nothing," Eric said, sitting back at the table and greeted the waiter. Several people started ordering.

"Nicco, the fried foie gras here is very good. It is said that all the raw materials are shipped directly from France. I think you can have one." Cruise looked at the menu for a while and quickly looked up. Smile said to Nicole.

"Sorry, Mr. Cruise, I am on a diet," Nicole shook her head slightly, then ordered a salad from the waiter and closed the menu.

Cruise touched a soft nail, and the smile on his face became lighter, but there were more interesting looks in his eyes.

Eric and Paula Wagner also finished the food very quickly. After the waiter left, Cruise did not hesitate to say: "Sorry, Eric, I have seen "The Ghosts Are Not Ghosted" The script. However, the film that I and Paula’s production company are preparing now is about to start, so I definitely can’t take the role anymore. To be honest, I think it’s stupid to play a ghost. Moreover, I have studied the entire script and have not found any highlights. I suggest that you try to change it for another movie, such as the second part of "Dark War," although I can't participate anymore, but I believe there is The first part of the accumulated popularity, the box office success is still certain."

When he heard what Cruise said, Paula Wagner lifted his forehead with one hand. It was gentle on the side of one of the temples. Obviously, Cruise’s self-righteous old mistakes were made and she completely forgot her prior embarrassment.

Nicole heard the words slightly open his mouth, and then took the juice in front of him without a trace and put it to his mouth, blocking the sarcasm of the corner of his mouth.

Eric put his hands on the table, rubbed the cross, and listened to the words of Cruise with great interest. When the other party finished, Eric looked at Cruise with great interest. Said: "In this case, Tommy, you invited me today. Is there anything?"

Paula Wagner was afraid that Tom Cruise would say something out of date and quickly took over Eric’s question. “Mr. Williams, Tommy is such a person. There is nothing to hide in my heart. So please don't mind. We think that the script of "The Ghosts Are Not Ghosted" is still very good, but the schedule of Tommy has been arranged, so this time it is not possible to cooperate."

"Oh, then this time..." Eric continued to ask.

Tom Cruise is about to speak. Feeling that the calf under the table was kicked, Cruise looked at Paula Wagner. Seeing that Paula Wagner’s face had a faint pleading look, she had to shrug her shoulders and close her mouth.

See Tom Cruise finally no longer finished. Paula Wagner was relieved and said to Eric: "This is the case. Mr. Williams, the Firefly's Flower Films did not acquire a lot of novels and movie copyrights last year. One of the TV series is called "Impossible Mission", I want to ask, can you transfer it to us, we will definitely give a very reasonable price."

Eric picked up his eyebrows and curiously asked: "Ms. Wagner, how can you be interested in this TV series? If you change into a movie, this should be a spy war action movie, and Tom’s current screen image has A big difference."

When Cruz heard Eric say this, he couldn’t help but interrupt again: "Look, Paula, Eric thinks so, so I don’t think it’s time to mention it. I have long been I have said that I am not suitable for this kind of pure action movie. It is the character that Schwarzenegger or Stallone should play. I am more suitable for the feature film. Even if I do some action elements, it should be like a few years ago. The Ministry of Top Gun, and our recent movie, is based on the plot, Eric, should you think so?"

Eric smiled and added: "Of course, I also think that Tommy is more suitable for a narrative-led type of film. If it is rashly transformed, the risk will be great."

The two men fought so much, Paula Wagner suddenly didn't know what to say, and his face looked distressed. He looked helplessly and looked at the man who was proud of him and looked at his face. Eric, with a faint smile, didn't know why, she always felt that Eric's mouth was a bit strange.

Bypassing the original TV series of "Mission Impossible", Eric quickly said: "Tommy, let's talk about the movie you are currently preparing, I believe many fans will be very much looking forward to it."

"That's for sure," Tom Crowston came to the mood, but his eyes looked at Nicole from time to time, saying: "A few years ago, when I co-produced "The Nature of Money" with Mr. Paul Newman, the car I was interested, so I always wanted to shoot a racing movie. In the setting of the script, the movie scene of this movie will be very grand and exciting. Paramount promised to invest 60 million US dollars in this movie, I believe, This movie is sure to create the box office glory of 86 years of "Top Gun". Right, Nicole, there is just a missing heroine in the movie. Would you like to try it? From the first sight, I feel that You are very suitable for the role of Claire."

Nicole heard the investment of 60 million US dollars in this movie. She suddenly took some action and looked at Eric. When she saw the unrecognizable look on the man's face, she tried to ask: "Mr. Cruise, you can talk about this in detail. Role?"

"Of course, Claire is a doctor. After a car accident, the actor Cole met two people. Claire was quickly moved by Cole's strength and unyielding, and fell in love with the actor..."

Cruise said with enthusiasm for seven or eight minutes, only when the waiters served for a few people, they paused for a while, and Nicole tried to test a few words from the rhythm of Cruise.

Listening to the conversation between a pair of men and women, Paula Wagner looked worriedly at Eric, and saw Eric’s casual appearance of the food in front of him, only to let go of his heart.

"Ms. Wagner, are you still a Tom's agent?" Eric ignored the men and women talking about him, ate a few meals, and raised his head and asked Paula Wagner, who was opposite.

Paula Wagner didn't know what Eric suddenly asked this question, but quickly replied: "No, I am now responsible for managing the c/w production company, so Tommy changed a new broker, the name Called. Jin Sili."

Eric sighed in his heart, and Tom Cruise was really lucky. Even though he was inserted into this time and space, two women who were very important to his career development still appeared beside him.

Paula Wagner can be said to be the great benefactor of Tom Cruise, who directly took Cruise from a nameless **** to the Hollywood a-class superstar, and then assisted Cruise to establish a production company as a series of Cruise. The producer of the film, it can be said that the success of Cruise, half of the credit is in Paula Wagner.

Then Cruise and Paula Wagner set up the Cruz/Wagner production company, Paula Wagner became the head of the production company, and Cruise changed another agent, Jin Sili. The female agent's ability is also very good, taking over the position of Paula Wagner, and conscientiously taking care of Cruise for 14 years. For more than a decade, Cruise has produced a lot of things. Things are also a mess, but with the maintenance of the party, Jinsi, the public image of Cruise has been maintained flawlessly.

Former Crus and Nicole's agents had been sent by Jin Si Li, but after Cruise and Nicole divorced, Cruise's own career did not improve much, but Nicole skyrocketed, not only succeeded. After the addition of Oscar, he also entered the 20 million paid club.

Under the extreme imbalance of Cruise, he randomly found a party. The excuse of Jinsi Li's public relations Oscar fired the hard-working agent, and then let his sister who has no professional experience act as his own agent. people.

It didn't take long for Cruise to taste the consequences of doing so. In the absence of a strong broker responsible for negotiating and taking care of the public image, a series of things followed, and negotiations with Paramount broke down and the sofa jumped. The belief was attacked by the media, and the anecdote of the actress frequently appeared in the tabloids. In just over a year, the public image of Cruise plummeted, and the performing arts business also suffered a huge blow.

In the following years, Paula Wagner disappointed and left the production company of Cruise. Then, in addition to the "Mission Impossible" series, Cruise's movie was almost a loss, because For this reason, Cruise's "The Mission Impossible" series is also not strong against Paramount Pictures, and the scenery of getting a $75 million payout before and after a movie is gone forever.
