The Wolf of Los Angeles

This ice bucket carnival, initiated by Tom Cruise and fully promoted by Twitter, is still in full swing.

A preliminary summary was made on Twitter.

In the conference room, Hawke asked directly: "How long will the popularity last?"

The technical department director Haaland pushed his glasses up and said, "We have specially established a data model in the early stages of the event. According to the model feedback, the current popularity can last for about ten days, and then it will enter the decay period. The influence will decrease in about ten days and will automatically terminate after about two and a half months."

"Okay, it's better than I expected." Hawke looked at Caroline, the operations director, and asked, "What about user data?"

Caroline quickly said: "The current number of registered users is 38.41 million, and it is expected that the event will end and it is expected to exceed 40 million."

She paused a little and added: "In the past week, the number of active users during the peak daily period has exceeded 28.4 million."

Hawke nodded quite satisfied.

With Twitter now, even if it is placed on a global scale, its user growth rate is not as rapid as it was at the beginning.

This is an inevitable trend.

Sasha said at this time: "There are currently more than 14.6 million topics about the ice bucket challenge on Twitter, and 510,000 related videos, which affect 57 countries and regions, and will become the most successful social activities and Internet landmark events this year. ”

These data are the most intuitive market reactions of the Ice Bucket Carnival.

Caroline said to Hawke again: "In this matter, we, Tom Cruise and ALS patients achieved a win-win situation."

"Finally, we achieved our predetermined goal," Hawke said.

...

North of Los Angeles, Glendale, DreamWorks headquarters.

The dream factory that was ambitious in the past to compete with the six major Hollywood dream factories, after the division of the three giants Spielberg, David Geffen and Jerryfor Carsonberg, they never let down their ambitions. Even the park has become much deserted.

Even so, the DreamWorks live-action film department, led by Spielberg, is still one of the most important production forces in Hollywood.

The preparations for the World War project have just ended.

Producer Katherine Kennedy followed Spielberg into his office and said, "For the leading actor, we need to make a decision as soon as possible. Investors from overseas are waiting and watching, if there is no superstar with enough convincing performance as The hero may affect their investment.”

Spielberg sat in his office chair and asked, "The media has been full of good news about Tom Cruise lately. Is he pressured me in this way?"

Katherine Kennedy has worked with him for more than 20 years and said directly: "I can't be sure whether to apply pressure or not, but Tom Cruise's reputation in the media and the public is much better than in the first half of the year, the media public It would be too much to say that one hundred and eighty degrees of turnover is not enough."

"I watched the Ice Bucket Challenge, too." Although Spielberg did not participate, it was hotly discussed in Hollywood. He had heard people talk about the adopted children many times and recorded videos of the challenge.

Instead of talking about Tom Cruise, he put it on the other side: "The Twitter company that worked with Tom Cruise is interesting."

Catherine Kennedy has made people know about it because of the film project: "It is said that Hawke Osmon, the founder of Twitter, planned the Ice Bucket Challenge, which reversed Tom Cruise in the last six months. The dilemma in public opinion made him win public recognition again. "

Spielberg suddenly became interested in going to Twitter to check it out, so he simply turned on the computer next to him and said, "What I was most worried about was Tom Cruise's public opinion and reputation issues, his belief issues. , He is constantly rejected and smeared by female organizations, and these cannot be resolved and will affect our films."

Katherine Kennedy said at the right time: "Now all these problems have been solved by Twitter's Hawk Osmon."

The problem has been solved and can be picked up and eaten ready-made. Spielberg certainly won’t be polite and said, “You inform Tom Cruise that our technical problems have been solved, and the negotiations of the hero can continue Now."

Katherine Kennedy replied, “I’ll go call now.”

When she left, Spielberg patiently registered a Twitter account and found that it was much easier to get started than she thought. It was a completely fool-style tutorial and was particularly convenient to use.

He tried to tweet and @ed his adopted daughter Mikara.

This adopted daughter, who is less than ten years old, has always had a dream in recent years to go to the San Fernando Valley to develop when she grows up.

...

Beverly Hills, Mulholland Road.

In the kitchen of the mansion, Tom Cruise stood in front of the oven, took off his thick insulation gloves, threw them onto the table, and set the timer.

He looked at the chef and said, "Call me immediately when the time comes, and the cake must be taken out by me."

The chef said, "I will notify you on time in twenty-five minutes."

Tom Cruise was quite satisfied and came out of the kitchen.

Just so happened, the assistant came in a hurry: "Tommy, I just received a call from Katherine Kennedy. The technical problems of the crew of "World War" have been solved. Now she and Spielberg can get out of here and continue to discuss cooperation. Something about it."

"Technical problems?" Tom Cruise shook his head and sneered: "These **** really make excuses for themselves." It was obvious that his influence and appeal had declined, and a large number of negative public opinion appeared, and there was a lot of cooperation. doubt.

Welcoming highs and downs to lows is the norm in the industry, and the big directors and crew are no exception. Tom Cruise didn't care about this and said, "You reply to her, I will go to DreamWorks to visit you tomorrow."

The assistant quickly went to call.

Tom Cruise took out his cell phone, called Hawke in person, waited for the connection there, and said, "It's me, I'll tell you a good news. Spielberg took the initiative to contact me and wanted to continue discussing with me. We succeeded in the heroic role of the Great War.”

Hawke on the other side said, "Congratulations, Tommy, another leading actor in the top big production, has obtained it."

Tom Cruise was in a good mood at this time and said with a smile: "I will go to Twitter in the afternoon, and there will be gifts to you."

"Welcome anytime," Hawke said.

After the call with Hawke was over, Tom Cruise's assistant came over and said that Katherine Kennedy was going to talk to him.

The two made a phone call for a while.

Not long after, the chef came out of the kitchen and reminded Tom Cruise that time was almost up.

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

Tom Cruise hung up the phone, came to the kitchen, put on thick insulation gloves, took out the baked cake embryo from the oven, took the cream and chocolate sauce, and with the help of the chef, he made white chocolate coconut by himself. cake.

This has always been a repertoire of his friends.

In previous years, it will be held during Christmas. Today, for Hawk, Tom Cruise decided to break the case.

Century City, CAA Headquarters.

Nicole Kidman walked into Pat Kingsley's office with his bag and high heels.

She sat on the sofa and complained, "Acquaintances from DreamWorks just called me and Spielberg restarted his collaboration with Tom Cruise."

Jinsley had a headache when she heard the name and persuaded her, "Nicole, you have to calm down. Tom is a first-line superstar, and it is normal for Spielberg to work with him."

Nicole Kidman's face looked quite ugly: "What do we have done in the past few months? You use media resources to expose his black material. I use all my means to smear him in the media and drag him into it. The opposite of women and freedom, all of this is done in vain!”

The real reason was that Jinslie couldn't say it, so she could only give a reason casually: "I didn't expect that Twitter would reverse Tom's reputation so easily."

"Twitter!" Nicole Kidman thought of the ice bucket challenge that was still going crazy, and said, "It's all Twitter planning for Tom."

This suddenly reminded Jinsley that Twitter was working closely with Tom Cruise, would the things that Tom Cruise had created before have something to do with Twitter?

Based on her understanding of Tom Cruise, if the other party had already mastered these things, it would have been impossible for him to endure it until now.

On the other hand, the scandals of Will Smith and Kobe Bryant have been exposed before, and there are criminal records...

The more Jinslie thought about it, the more she felt that this matter was related to Twitter.

Seeing her silent, Nicole Kidman asked, "Pate, we just watch it like this? Don't you do anything?"

Jinsli raised her hand and interrupted her: "Wait first, I need to know what's going on over Twitter."

That kind of hatred after the couple turned against each other made Nicole Kidman desperately want to see Tom Cruise fall into the abyss and never climb up.

She also couldn't like the Twitter that helped Tom Cruise.

Although Nicole Kidman has no background as his ex-husband, there are big guys behind him and behind him. With the Oscar-winning actress in hand, there are hymns in the media and he is full of confidence.

The Australian woman was very scheming and her brain turned quickly. She quickly came up with an idea and said, "What they care most about is the ice bucket challenge. This activity is very hot. Should we play it out on this?"

Meanwhile, Hawke welcomed Tom Cruise on Twitter.

The Hollywood superstar brought the cake he made himself and expressed his gratitude to Hawke and Twitter staff.

"Taste, everyone tastes it."

In the conference room, Tom Cruise delivered the cake to everyone including Hawk, Edward, Sasha and Caroline, and did not forget to add: "This is made by me."

Hawke opened it and tasted it, and it felt so sweet.

He called Tom Cruise to speak alone: ​​"The second phase is completed, and the remaining third phase is mainly filmmaking and the search for a new girlfriend..."

Tom Cruise smiled and said, "I can complete the third phase independently."

Hawke has no objection to this when the customer said this. (End of this chapter)
