Chapter 465

The game between employers and employees has penetrated into all aspects of the business society. Of course, Murphy and his Stanton studio are no exception. As he said before, few fools tremble when they hear people blow their mouths. They are willing to serve people for nothing as if they meet God.

For example, his shooting and production team has been following closely over the years. In addition to the fame Murphy can bring to them, there is also a high income in the circle compared with the same industry.

Leonardo DiCaprio is indeed worth 20 million dollars, but Murphy's previous idea is that Li Zi is anxious to attack the best actor in the Oscar, and maybe he will cut his salary, so that he can also profit from it. However, facts have proved that Leonardo DiCaprio is not stupid either.

Both of them want to profit from each other, but they don't want to make too many compromises. The negotiation only breaks down.

Of course, with Leonardo DiCaprio and Murphy want to work with a superstar can not be separated from the mind.

When the negotiation broke down, he threw away all these ideas. The $20 million film reward is better than that for Leonardo DiCaprio.

Murphy decided that the protagonist of this autobiographical film had better use the people in Stanton's party.

After entering February, the time for the 81st Academy Awards ceremony is getting closer and closer, and the news related to the Oscars is now hot.

"Are you going to the Oscars?"

In the restaurant, Gail gado is eating his own vegetable salad and chatting with Murphy. Both of them have their own work to do now. Especially when Gail gado is studying producer course, he has to prepare his graduation thesis. However busy they are, they will have dinner together. They need time to communicate and gather their feelings, even if the topic of conversation is gossip.

Gail gado put down his knife and fork and looked at Murphy. "The police haven't heard from him yet?"

Murphy shook his head and swallowed the food. "No, it's hard to find out?"

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

Hearing Murphy say this, Gail gado laughs happily. No matter whether the threat is a prank or not, Murphy can always make her feel relieved if she doesn't take risks.

Murphy took the initiative to change the topic, talking about the gossip in the circle, "you know, the hottest entertainment news right now is not Oscar."

Gail gado also came to the interest, "Oscar has been robbed of the limelight?"

In February and March every year, the topic center of Hollywood is basically the Oscar ceremony. But with the decline of the influence of the Oscars in recent years, some people always come out to grab the limelight of the Oscars at this time.

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

Murphy picked up her napkin, wiped her mouth and said, "Tom Cruise."

"He's getting divorced again?" This is Gail gado's first reaction.

It's no wonder that she has such a reaction. It's widely spread in Hollywood that Katie Holmes is not Tom Cruise's own choice at all, but his wife carefully selected by his science religion.

Murphy knows why Gail gado thinks that.

It is said that Tom Cruise has been controlled by the "Science Church" for nearly 30 years, and even three wives have been selected by the church.

"Don't make any jokes about homosexuality. Don't add a spoof title to Tom Cruise's films, such as top gay, mission impossible‘ marriage:impossible ’(marriage without music); don't talk about Mr. Cruise's male friends with anyone; 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 widely spread in Hollywood.

In addition to being astonished at the number of thousands of agreements, the circle also expressed confusion about the "science education" provisions in the agreement. For example, "once Xenu returns to earth, Katie Holmes must accompany Tom Cruise on the aircraft carrier or ship of his husband's choice, or all his property will be confiscated."

At present, the most popular saying is that the marriage of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes is just a play to get what they need. The only purpose of Tom Cruise's marriage is to express his loyalty to science education and avoid homosexual rumors.

Although the prenuptial agreement can not be verified, it does push the science religion, which is full of "cult" color, to the front stage.

Even Murphy heard more fantastic stories.

It is said that shortly after making the film "Magnolia" in 1999, Tom Cruise received an invitation that he could not refuse. The invitation came from the management of science education. They politely invited him to attend the so-called "possible source of trouble / oppressor" training class.

The purpose of the course is to consolidate the belief of believers and find out exactly the cause of the problems in the life of believers, that is, the "oppressor". It is precisely because of the existence of the "oppressor", the Scientologists can not smoothly embark on the journey to the "bridge". In the eyes of the high-level Scientologists, the source of Tom Cruise's trouble is his second wife, Nicole Kidman.The alarm began in an interview with Nicole Kidman by Newsweek in late 1998. "I believe in a little Buddhism, a little science," Nicole Kidman said in an interview. But I've been a Catholic since I was a child, and I'm still a Catholic to a large extent today. "

In the view of the high-level of science education, this is not a good phenomenon, because Nicole Kidman married a living sign of science education, and her impure faith made her a "possible source of trouble".

As a result, everyone can see the following results.

Similar rumors also exist between Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes.

In 2005, in order to respond to the speculation that Tom Cruise is gay and save his healthy and powerful hero image among fans, science education began to secretly find suitable marriage partners for him among Hollywood female stars, including Scarlett Johnson and Sophia vegala. The church also privately promised to bring something to Tom Cruise's new lover Huge returns and financial benefits in the industry.

Many rumors are not groundless. It's hard to tell the truth from the details of some rumors. Murphy heard Robert Downey Jr. mention that will smith, a Hollywood star who is also a believer in science, first introduced Sophia vegala to Tom Cruise, who was not very famous at that time. She felt good about Tom Cruise.

Later, Sophia vegala was arranged to visit the "science education Hollywood celebrity center" in Los Angeles. However, this trip completely changed Sophia vegala's view on this marriage. She thought science education was very boring and said she was not willing to join it.

The marriage fell through.

But "science education" did not give up. It was also in this year that Tom Cruise personally served as the producer of "Mission Impossible 3". Science education hopes to use the heroine of the film as a bait to attract Hollywood stars who have not really become popular.

Scarlett Johnson and now Tom Cruise's wife Katie Holmes are all shortlisted. The final result is that Scarlett Johnson has no interest in Tom Cruise and science education, and doesn't make any response at all. Although Katie Holmes didn't get the heroine of the film, she became the object of Tom Cruise's Association.

Katie Holmes is not the prettiest or the youngest of them, but most importantly, she can accept and support science education and promise to sign the secret agreement of science education.

"Tom Cruise has not been very successful these years." Gail gado also knows a little about the Hollywood superstar. "It is said that he also has conflicts with science and education, and has a bad relationship with Paramount Pictures, which he has been cooperating with all along."

"Just this morning." Murphy said of the gossip that can take away the limelight of the Oscar, "summers leishidong personally announced that Paramount Pictures has ended its cooperation with Tom Cruise."

Gail gado thought for a moment and asked, "haven't they been working together for more than a decade? Why did it burst all of a sudden? "

Murphy shrugged. "Like my negotiations with Leonardo DiCaprio, it's about the distribution of interests."

Paramount Pictures has broken off its partnership with Tom Cruise for more than a decade, which has brought great shock to Hollywood.

This marks the beginning of Hollywood's big and medium-sized film companies, including Stanton studio, to show their swords to the spoiled stars, and then the domino effect appeared. ABC TV station cancelled a production deal with Harrison Ford's DreamWorks on the "holocaust" mini series, and Morgan Crick production company also paid tribute to female star Lindsay Rowe Han's bad performance on the set angered him and directly changed the actors; Stanton studio also changed two actresses in the game of Thrones one after another, especially the role of Natalie domer, who was shouting for a big increase in salary inconsistent with her status, died directly in the new season

Superstars are a kind of scarce resources. However, when superstars ask more and more high prices and take away more and more profits from manufacturers and distributors, the capital pursuing profit maximization finally chooses to restrict the superstars in this era of declining appeal.

Hollywood has the final say that what's enough is the star's arrogant price, which eventually leads to a huge reversal of the industry pendulum: what constitutes the star's strength, how big the star power can be, and what is not the final say of the brokerage firm, but the investor and the actual market appeal.

In this era of serious homogenization of Hollywood commercial films and focusing on visual effects, the pulling effect of superstars on a film has undoubtedly decreased significantly. More and more commercial productions are abandoning first-line superstars and using relatively cheap actors instead.

Tom Cruise is the inevitable victim of this reality.

As for why to take advantage of him, in Murphy's view, who will the production companies and investors choose if they don't take advantage of him? (to be continued). )
