Chapter 367： Shirk responsibility

After half an hour, Dunn calmed down his emotions, then picked up the phone on the table and dialed a number - Tom Rothman, CEO of Twentieth Century Fox.

"Tom, about Nate...you know what?"

Tang En's tone was very flat, but the flat tone was mixed with a bit of coldness.

Tom Rothman suffered too many losses from Dunn, and he no longer wanted to provoke this devil of the world, so he quickly explained, "Don, I know about this, but... I can't do anything about it."

"Powerless?" Dunn's tone was somewhat mocking.

Tom Rothman said: "I'm the CEO of Twentieth Century Fox, and I'm responsible for the company's interests. And... you know I'm an executive, and I don't care much about the content of the film. These are the production departments. the behavior of."

Tang En said lightly: "So, are you going to sit back and watch my girlfriend and get kicked out of the crew by Tom Cruise?"

"No, no, this isn't driving out, hehe, it's a normal cooperation relationship, and... I will order the crew to pay a certain amount of compensation to Miss Portman."

Dunn sneered, "Do you think I'll be short of money?"

Tom Rothman sighed: "Dawn, to be honest with you, I received a notice two days ago about this matter, and of course my first reaction was to stop it, but I couldn't do it arbitrarily." Minority Report The producers are a total of seven film companies, in addition to 20th Century Fox, Tom Cruise Film Productions, Legendary Pictures, DreamWorks, Amblin Entertainment, Blue Tulip Pictures, Ronald Shu Seth/Gary Goodman Productions. They're investing in Tom Cruise."

Dunn's reaction was very calm, "Steven has the same attitude?"

"he……"

Tom Rothman paused. "He should have no objection."

Tang En snorted coldly, "I see!"

Hanging up the phone, Dunn called Steven Spielberg directly, his tone was very impolite, "Steven, I need an explanation!"

"Yes...is Miss Portman?"

"It seems you know very well."

Dunn's words are full of irony,

Spielberg is the most representative director in Hollywood today, a legend of a generation. He was not very happy with Dunn's tone, and said solemnly: "Don Dunn, you are also a director, I always think... this matter, you understandable."

"Understand?" Dunn sneered sarcastically, "I can't understand it! If I remember correctly, we had already agreed half a year ago that Natalie would play the female lead."

Spielberg said: "Yes, I promised. But I also said that I am just a director, and the biggest producer of this project is Twentieth Century Fox, and they have the real decision-making power! Natalie is Your girlfriend, we all know that, but a movie is a movie, and Natalie's box office appeal...is not at the same level as Tom Cruise!"

"Steven, are you regretting it?"

"I have never regretted it, but I can't represent the crew personally, and everything on the crew must be based on future interests."

Tang En curled his lips, "I never thought that interests were more important than promises!"

Spielberg said with a pinch of tone: "Dawn, I repeat, this project, I am just a film director, and the investment share of DreamWorks participation is not even as good as Tom Cruise's production company. So you should be clear , I have no say in this matter."

"Where is the right to speak?"

"Twentieth Century Fox of course!"

Tang En laughed angrily, "Steven, you're really good at playing Tai Chi pushing hands!"

"Tai Chi?"

Spielberg apparently didn't grasp the word right away.

"Humph!" Dunn's response was very cold, "Steven, I'm very disappointed in you how this matter was handled!"

After speaking, regardless of etiquette, he hung up the phone directly.

A Tom Rothman and a Steven Spielberg are both good players. They have experienced this kind of thing a lot, and the level of shirk responsibility is higher than each other.

After thinking for a while, Dunn decided to face the core figure of this problem - Tom Cruise!

Until now, Dunn doesn't believe that Tom Cruise dares to provoke his authority, maybe it's an excuse found by the producers that Natalie is not suitable for the role of the female lead.

I called and asked Brian Lord of CAA, and only then did I know that Tom Cruise joined the WMA agency three months ago and is now represented by her cousin Leigh Ann DeWitt.

As soon as Tang En heard it, he basically understood.

On the surface, a family-style manager seems to take better care of the artist and better satisfy the artist's interests.

But in fact, just like a family business, it does far more harm than good.

Dunn asked for Li DeWitt's phone number and called.

"Hello, this is Lili, who are you?"

"Donne."

"Don?"

"Dawn Walker!"

Leigh DeWitt's voice changed suddenly, "Dawn Walker? You... are you the director?"

Tang En wasn't in the mood to talk nonsense with her, "You know about the Minority Report project, right?"

"I know."

"Tom Cruise excluded my girlfriend?"

Rei DeWitt calmed down, realized the questioning in Dunn's words, was silent for a while, and said slowly: "Mr. Walker, this is a matter of the "Minority Report" crew. It seems... It has nothing to do with you, right?"

"Um?"

Tang En was taken aback, he couldn't believe it. In Hollywood, how could anyone dare to talk to him like that?

Tom Cruise, the new agent, has the same emotional intelligence as him!

"Mr. Walker, I know you are a big man, and I can't afford to offend you, but when it comes to the movie, just follow the rules of the movie, right?"

Although Li DeWitt is very old, she is a newcomer to Hollywood, and she is not afraid of tigers. "The choice of the market determines everything. Tom has higher appeal, greater fame and influence than Miss Portman." The crew of "Send Report" should be dominated by him, right?"

She thought that the Hollywood business market was of the same nature as the cosmetics marketing market she worked in in the past, and she even wanted to teach Dunn a lesson.

Dunn laughed, "So Tom Cruise is qualified to exclude others?"

Li DeWitt said of course: "Everyone loves Tom more, it's a fact, for what happened to Miss Natalie... I'm very sorry. Tom is the male lead, he must choose a female lead who can play , Miss Portman...too tall."

"Ha ha!"

This time, Tang En really couldn't help it and burst out laughing.

Natalie is too tall?

It's the funniest joke in the world!

Dunn has dated so many girls Except for the little secretary Ella Fisher, Natalie is the most petite.

Lea DeWitt actually came up with such a ridiculous reason that she was too tall to play with Tom Cruise, what nonsense... eh? and many more!

Tom Cruise's height...

Well, Natalie is indeed tall enough in front of the emperor superstar.

"Mr. Walker, do you have any other questions?" Li DeWitt was very uncomfortable listening to Dunn's wanton laughter.

Tang En shook his head and said lightly, "I'll give you one last chance, did you really decide this way?"

"what?"

Li DeWitt was very angry and said angrily: "Mr. Walker, are you threatening me? I respect you as a great director, but if you want to bully newcomers by such means, I will not be caught! Don't forget, I am Tom Cruise's agent, I'm his cousin!"

Tang En was angry and funny, and hung up the phone directly.

The free market economy fills the mind of this silly woman with paste.

Is Hollywood a free market?

You could say yes, provided that there is no interference from bigwigs.

Now, Dunn has paid attention to it personally. This silly woman is still clamoring for an idiot. Do you really think that Dunn can't do anything about Tom Cruise?

Yes, Tom Cruise is indeed a superstar!

Even if Dunn Pictures didn't cooperate with him, other film companies would rush to make an appointment with him and hold him in their hands.

Just like Steven Spielberg, Tom Cruise does not have the strength to compete head-on with Dunn, but at least he has the qualifications to take a detour.

But they obviously don't know, the reason why Tang En can become today's Tang En is because he has a secret weapon that no one else has in his hand!
