Chapter 24： Influence has quietly spread

It's late at night, and Jon Landau hasn't slept yet. As a producer, he needs to draw inspiration from all aspects, and talk shows are one of them.

And tonight's "The Tonight Show" shocked him in cold sweats.

"It's over, it's over!"

Jon Landau's face was as pale as death. He had made several phone calls in a row, all of them were big and powerful people in Hollywood, just hoping to stay alive.

He has been in Hollywood for nearly 20 years, can he still be beaten by a teenage child?

He doesn't believe it! I don't believe it at all!

But the cruelty of reality made Jon Landau tremble in horror. The "old friend" who was very friendly in the past didn't even bother to speak after hearing his own voice, and hung up the phone directly.

Is this too much?

Could it be that Dunn Walker, a fledgling boy, can make such a big influence in Hollywood?

Anger makes people stupid, madness makes people irrational, Jon Landau has not figured out what the root cause is.

"Jamie, it's me!"

This is Jon Landau's last hope. James Cameron is a decent person, how can he give himself an explanation?

Cameron was silent for a long time and sighed, "Jon, you have gone too far."

"I've done too much? Jamie, you're too irresponsible, have you watched the show tonight? What did that kid say? He's implying that I poisoned the crew's work meal!"

Jon Landau's tone was very excited.

Cameron frowned and said, "Jon, didn't you really do it?"

"Jamie, don't you even believe me?" Jon Landau laughed at himself. "Besides, why did that kid say that? What evidence does he have?"

Cameron sighed and said, "Don't really have any evidence, so he didn't clearly point out that it was you who poisoned him, but... Jon, you should reflect, you were fired by the crew, and what evidence is there to point to Dunn? Since there's no evidence , your irresponsible remarks in the newspapers, aren't you right?"

Jon Landau's expression changed erratically. Even Cameron said so, he was deeply aware of the seriousness of the problem.

"Jon, your remarks are taboo, do you understand? I don't know about the other major film companies, but I know the situation of Fox Films very well, and all the company executives agree to take your problem seriously! "

After all, the other party was Cameron's friend for many years. He was sincere, and hated that iron could not become steel.

Jon Landau fell silent, his eyelids twitched continuously, he finally understood the crux of the problem, and his spine shivered with fright, "Jamie, you must help me! I can apologize, publish in the newspaper, go to the TV station, how about that? All right, I need a chance!"

When things developed to this situation, Jon Landau could not give in.

Cameron's tone was a little heavy, "Jon, why don't you understand? The problem now is not as simple as Dunn's personal grievance! In the outside world, you have already committed the crime of poisoning and slander, and in Hollywood, you are even more so. An outlier that defies the rules!"

Jon Landau sighed and wanted to cry without tears, "Jamie, you said... What should I do now?"

"Leave Hollywood." Cameron's tone was a little helpless and a little reluctant. "After a few years, this gust of wind has passed, and you may be able to come back."

"Can you come back?"

The corners of Jon Landau's mouth crossed a bit of bitterness. He is a famous gold medal producer in Hollywood. After leaving Hollywood, where can he enjoy such power and status?

I regret the beginning!

…

There is no need for Dunn to worry about Jon Landau's problem. He just needs to ignite the fire, and naturally there will be countless big men to add firewood.

Saying such things as Jon Landau's gold medal producer, reporting Hollywood insiders to the media with real names, is far more serious than Mel Gibson's abuse of Jews.

Mel Gibson only angered the Jewish community, Jon Landau's enemy was the entire Hollywood high society!

This matter has no longer interest Dunn.

However, through this east wind, "Titanic" got wider publicity, Dunn Walker's name, like Leonardo Ricaprio and Kate Winslet, spread all over the United States. Every street and alley.

Immediately after that, the box office of the next week was officially released. As expected by Dunn, the box office of "Titanic" increased in reverse for seven days in the next week, directly breaking the $100 million mark and reaching $101.58 million!

This is the first time in Hollywood's nearly 100-year history that a single-week box office hit over 100 million!

What's even scarier is that this is the next week's box office!

"Dawn, you're amazing, you're amazing! Unbelievable, you're not yet twenty years old, God knows what heights you can reach in the future!" Bill McNick called for the first time to celebrate, Gratitude is also in the voice.

"Bill, you're too polite." Dunn was also very happy. His existence proved his worth. "Titanic" has completely embarked on a different path from its previous life. "How about the overseas box office?"

Bill said excitedly: "The overseas box office has also begun to exert force, reaching 120 million, and I believe it will soon surpass the North American box office. After the UK, Germany, France, Japan, and Australia are released in these countries, there will definitely be a miracle at the box office. growth of!"

Now Bill McNick is very confident. The box office will exceed 100 million in the next week. Even such a miracle has happened. What is impossible?

He even looked forward to Dunn's past predictions, 1.8 billion is the guarantee, and 2 billion is the pursuit!

"The film directed by Spielberg is coming out next week?"

Bill laughed and said, "Although dinosaurs are powerful, they can't compare to our big ships, right?"

Dunn smiled and said, "Of course, I've said it before! Even if Jurassic Park 2 is very explosive in a short time, in the long run, we have no rivals!"

Bill was very satisfied, "Of course, Dunn, I have always believed in your judgment. It was the same in the past and it will be the same in the future!"

This is just talking nonsense with his eyes open, and Dunn doesn't point it out, "I understand, so I've always been grateful to you, Bill."

…

On Thursday night, the premiere of "Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World" was also grandly held at the Chinese Theater in Los Angeles.

With Steven Spielberg's reputation and appeal in the industry, the stars gathered in this premiere are no worse than the "Titanic" premiere held half a month ago.

Because Spielberg attended the premiere of "Titanic", Dunn and Leonardo also dressed up. Kate Winslet has returned to the UK due to personal issues and is absent for some reason.

In the last premiere, Steven Spielberg arrogantly ignored Dunn, but now the situation is completely different.

"Titanic" has been released for half a month, and the North American box office has accumulated to 230 million US dollars, and its box office curve is very strange, and there is no significant downward trend at all.

According to this trend, the North American box office exceeds 500 million US dollars, I am afraid it is not a problem!

You know, the previous North American box-office record was the $440 million Jurassic Park held by Spielberg.

Steven Spielberg naturally doesn't like having young people stepping on him, but isn't that what the times are like? Didn't he also step on a large number of people with his feet when he became famous back then?

Spielberg was bitter in his heart, but he could no longer treat Dunn as a fledgling newcomer, especially after Cameron repeatedly affirmed Dunn's contributions in the "Titanic" movie.

"Hey, Dunn, long time no see!"

Spielberg, like an old friend, greeted Dunn from a distance.

As a guest, as a junior, Tang En naturally wouldn't take it big. He exaggeratedly said, "Hello, Steven, I have always admired you, you are my idol!"

When others give you a good face, Dunn has always responded with a friendly attitude.

"The results of "Titanic" were so good that I was jealous when I saw it!" Spielberg said half-jokingly.

Dunn shook his head and said, "How can it be possible? With you directing Jurassic Park 2, there will definitely be a new breakthrough at the box office!"

"Oh? A guarantee of $1.8 billion?" Spielberg was obviously not comfortable, and he took the words to Dunn.

Tang En refused to come, with a serious face, "I'm afraid this will not work, "Titanic" is a legend that is difficult to replicate."

Spielberg's face darkened.

A very unpleasant conversation.

Leonardo next to him was terrified. He really didn't expect that his good friend Dunn was already qualified to challenge a Hollywood legend like Steven Spielberg!

"Okay, UU Reading Dunn, I think the premiere is about to start, let's go first!" Leonardo hurriedly appeared to round up the scene.

Dunn smiled at Spielberg and entered the theater with a blank expression.

"Dawn, how are you doing? He's Spielberg!" Leonardo lowered his voice and looked nervous.

Tang En curled his lips into a smile, a little disdainful, "So what? I hate this kind of self-righteous old guy who leans on the old and sells the old man! It's fine if he doesn't provoke me, if he dares to provoke me... hum!"

Leonardo's face was almost contorted, and he was too scared to say a word.

Looking at the whole of Hollywood, is it Dunn Walker who dares to comment on Spielberg like this? Luckily it didn't get out!

…

Halfway through the movie, Dunn yawned bored in every possible way, leaned over, and whispered to Leonardo, "This movie is really boring, why not..."

Halfway through his words, Dunn stopped.

Leonardo sat on his left, and Dunn spoke to his right...

And the one sitting on Dunn's right hand is a good friend of Steven Spielberg and the famous Hollywood director Martin Scorsese.

Dunn was a little dumbfounded and embarrassed, "Hey, Martin..."

Martin Scorsese glanced at Dunn, holding back his smile, "Little guy, in fact, I've always hated this kind of brainless commercial film that sells special effects."

Tang En thought about the director's several works, nodded, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "By the way, I think Leon's acting skills are very suitable for your directing style. You can get to know them."

Leonardo almost cried when he heard Dunn's words, dear brother!

Martin Scorsese glanced at Leonardo and nodded, "There will be a chance."
