Chapter 149： The twists and turns, the loss is a blessing

Just like Dunn's previous assumptions, things showed unpredictable signs of corruption.

Dunn was investigated by the FBI, and the news that his company's assets were frozen spread overnight.

"The New York Times", "Chicago Post", "Los Angeles Times", "USA Today", "New York Daily News" and many other newspapers and magazines have published this heavy news.

This time, it is no longer the headline of the entertainment section, but the headline of the entire newspaper!

"Genius director is suspected of economic fraud, and the illegal amount obtained is as high as 7 billion US dollars! 》

"Angel? devil? Famous Hollywood director Dunn Walker is suspected of major economic crimes. 》

"The fbi hits hard, and magical director Dunn Walker falls into the shrine. 》

"Asset Freeze! Outbound restrictions! Dunn will face at least 120 years in prison. 》

"conspiracy? There is another mystery behind the Nasdaq stock market crash, and Dunn Walker is duty-bound. 》

"The higher you stand, the harder you fall, Tang En was investigated by the FBI! 》

...

Crazy reports, almost all the media, newspapers, and TV stations in the United States are paying close attention to this most sensational news today.

In particular, Disney's ABC Group and Twentieth Century Fox's Fox TV network have reported overwhelming coverage, even more exaggerated than when the scandals of Mr. President and Mr. Richest broke out last year.

The former is just a moral condemnation, the latter is a crime!

Outside the Dunn Films, there are countless reporters, and even the ABC Group specially dispatched a helicopter to comprehensively report the process of Dunn's major crime investigation and evidence collection from the perspective of high-altitude diving.

This is an unprecedented publicity campaign. Although Dunn Walker's name has repeatedly appeared in various headlines in the past few years, it is far less famous than it is now.

Dunn has become the only topic discussed in the entire United States at the moment!

Hollywood, famous director, $7 billion, economic crime, Natalie Portman boyfriend, rumored boyfriend of famous movie stars such as Nicole Kidman and Kate Winslet...

Every report is a hot topic after dinner.

The entire Dunn Films is panicking.

Tang En was sitting in his office with a gloomy expression on his face, like a lion who could not vent his anger. Even the most caring female secretary, Ira Fisher, was carefully by his side. Not even breathing.

"Is there any news from Brian?"

Tang En was standing by the window, his eyes suddenly flashed, only then did he realize that there was a helicopter hanging above his head, and he drew the curtains directly in anger.

Ella Fisher said: "Mr. Lord is actively in contact with the White House, and Mr. McNick has also filed a lawsuit in the court through the legal department, requesting that the FBI's restrictions on us be lifted immediately."

"Damn, it's still a society governed by the rule of law. Without court authorization, why would FBI freeze my assets?" Tang En gritted his teeth angrily.

Ella Fisher paused for a moment and said squeakly, "Dawn, there is one more thing, do you want to..."

Tang En waved his hand, "Have I heard little bad news in the past two days? Come on, what happened again?"

There was a bit of sullenness on Ella Fisher's face, "It's The Chronicles of Narnia, Jerry Bruckheimer quit the project."

"Um?"

"He said his production company had a priority deal with Disney, and Disney had a new project called Pearl Harbor, and he had to pull out."

"Fuck!" Tang En slapped the table angrily, "The project of "Pearl Harbor" has been approved for a long time, and the movie has been filmed now. Is he talking to me about this?"

Ella Fisher snorted: "It must be Disney behind the scenes!"

There was a hint of coldness on the corner of Dunn's mouth, "It's true that Disney has instigated him behind his back, but Jerry Bruckheimer's current status doesn't matter at all. Since he has made such a choice, he is obviously going to fall into trouble!"

"What a bastard!" Isla Fisher stomped angrily, "I should have written it clearly in the contract with him and asked him to pay a huge liquidated damages."

Tang En said lightly: "That's fine, whether it's an enemy or a friend, you can see it clearly. Jerry Bruckheimer? Haha, it's alright!"

At this moment, Reese Witherspoon, Dunn's other secretary, rushed in with a look of joy, "Dawn, someone has spoken for us!"

She was filming in the MGM comedy "Legal Blonde". Because Dunn's film industry encountered a crisis, she took a leave of absence and came back to tide over the difficulties with the company, which made the whole company like this sweetheart sister very much.

"Oh? Who?"

"It's Mel Gibson!"

Reese's face was a little rosy, and she said happily: "Just now, Mr. Gibson accepted an exclusive interview with cbs TV station, and he firmly expressed his support for Dunn Films. He also said that you are a good person who obeys the law and must never I will not do anything illegal, and some irresponsible remarks in the media are slander!"

Ella Fisher, as an Australian, also felt proud on her face, "Mel is a good big brother, I know that he is the most loyal!"

Dunn took a deep breath and nodded heavily.

It's not the first time he's seen Mel Gibson's loyalty.

Right now, the whole United States is watching the joke of Dunn Pictures. It was Mel Gibson who came forward and took the lead in standing for Dunn, and even made a "suspected defamation" remark.

This kindness, Dunn wrote down.

In any case, the tragic experience of Mel Gibson in the previous life, Dunn will definitely try to stop it and save his fate!

At this time, Dunn's personal cell phone rang, and it was Brian Lord who called.

"How's the situation?" Dunn's voice was a little heavy.

Brian Lord was very relaxed, and there was even a bit of a smile in his tone, "Dawn, I have lived for more than 40 years, and only today did I understand a big truth. It is a blessing to suffer!"

Tang En said bitterly: "It is a blessing to suffer a loss? I would rather not eat the blessing right now!"

"No no no, I'm talking about another thing." Brian Lord changed the subject. "I'm talking about the fact that you've been teased by accounting firms over the past few years."

Tang En said angrily: "Also, I only understand now that the accounting firm has a relationship with the tax department. The higher the tax they pay, the more tax rebates they get. Isn't this collusion between officials and businessmen to steal customers' money? It's no wonder that the rich and big companies have hired a dedicated tax team, and there are too many tricks!"

"Haha, that's why, it's a blessing to suffer a loss!" Brian Lord seemed to like Tang En's frantic look. Ever since the two met, Tang En has always been sunny, confident, steady and calm, rarely like he is now So rude.

Tang En frowned, "Okay, let's talk about it, what's going on?"

Brian Lord lowered his voice, "I just got back from the White House, Mr. President looked at your tax records for the past three years, he was shocked!"

"Shocked? Are you making fun of me for being stupid." Dunn laughed at himself, and then his eyes lit up, showing a bit of surprise, "Brian, you mean... Mr. President is shocked?"

Brian Lord smiled and said: "Yeah, anyone who reads your tax return will definitely be surprised, the personal income tax, honestly paid 48.3%, and the corporate income tax, honestly paid 43.84%. Dunn, there is no other American citizen like you who abides by the law and actively pays taxes!"

"Ha ha!"

Dunn laughed, and tears came out of his laughter.

He used to be ignorant, and he was tricked by the tax company. He paid a lot of taxes, and it felt like blood was dripping from his heart.

Unexpectedly, the twists and turns have turned. In the past few years, his tax return list has become the best proof that he abides by the law and loves the country!

No wonder Brian said that suffering is a blessing, and that's true.

If Tang En hadn't paid so much tax before, and he wanted to get through the current difficulties, I'm afraid he would have to spend some more troubles.

Now, his positive image of paying taxes and abiding by the law is highly recognized by the White House. Can this farce come to an end?

Tang En's mood was like seeing the sunshine in the future, "Brian, when will the ban on asset freeze and exit restrictions be withdrawn?"

Brian Lord said solemnly: "Tang En You have played too much in the stock market this time, and the entire Wall Street has lost miserably, but you have made billions as a filmmaker. A regulatory agency will pay attention. However, your tax records have left a good impression on the White House. As long as the investigation results show that no other forces are involved behind you and the background is clean, the ban will be lifted. At the same time, the White House will also give you a statement."

"What about the time?"

"It's just two or three days. The White House doesn't like the current situation."

Tang En breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Since that's the case, I'm relieved, Brian, thank you for your hard work."

"What's the matter, my job." Brian Lord smiled and lowered his voice, "You should also move there. Your personal image must not be damaged."

"I know!"

Dunn hung up the phone, narrowed his eyes, pondered for a long time, and then said: "Ella, inform Bill, let him immediately negotiate with starz TV station, and hurry up the acquisition. Reese, contact Mr. Alan Horn, President of Warner Bros., I want to talk to him."

Reese Witherspoon's eyes widened, a flash of doubt flashed.

Dunn smiled, "I just said that there was something wrong with the "The Chronicles of Narnia" project, and asked him if he was interested in cooperating with Dunn Pictures to jointly develop this series."

Now, the most serious hype about Dunn in the United States is Fox's parent company News Corporation, as well as Disney's abc television network, Time Warner is very calm.

At this time, Dunn didn't mind giving up part of the interests of "The Chronicles of Narnia", sharing it with Warner, reaching an alliance, and completing the final Jedi counterattack.

Anyway, the reason why Dunn hastily set up the project "The Chronicles of Narnia" is to serve as cannon fodder for "Harry Potter" and to break Warner's idea of ​​"priority cooperation".

Now, just a little earlier.
