On the way, Jeff was reporting to Martin on some of the results he had achieved last year so far.

"By the way, Mr. Motula called and asked, when will you release your next album?"
"Let’s wait until the movie is finished."Martin said.
It didn't take much time to get from Woodland to New York City.
The crew stayed at the Hilton Hotel in Queens.
Martin used Paris Hilton's connections to contact 707 with the hotel. The hotel's dance floor will be used to shoot the dance scene..
After staying in the hotel, the director announced that the crew had a day off, and Martin decided to go out for a walk. Martin took out his mobile phone and prepared to call Scarlett.
This girl returned to New York again, not to move back, but for a play. audition.
Scarlett happened to be free.
The two made an appointment to meet at a dessert shop in Central Park.
"Yes, I auditioned for a play, American Rhapsody》"
Scarlett stirred the milkshake in front of her with a glass rod in frustration,"I thought I had no chance. After the audition, the casting director's assistant secretly told me that the lady (casting director) thought my breasts were too big. , not like a little girl."
At this point, Scarlett's eyes were red and she was about to cry.
Martin frowned. There was something wrong with the casting director's assistant. As the founder of PUA, he smelled the same kind of smell.
"What else did he say? asked Martin
"He also said that if I want to get this role, I have to work harder than ordinary people. He also gave me his phone number and said that if I need role guidance, I can contact him at any time. As long as he is satisfied, he will put in a good word for Xiang Xiang."
"Gan!"
Martin is sure. This assistant to the casting director has no good intentions. He doesn't even spare little girls. He is a beast, a beast, and a pervert!
What, you said Martin is like this himself? Hey, he is not a human in the first place!
Martin picked up the phone angrily, then put it down again, looking at Scarlett with a half-smile.
Damn, he was almost fooled by this"little girl", his acting skills are getting better!
"Scarlett, stop acting, you are not sad at all, tell me, what is going on?"
"Hey, hey, you saw it, you are worthy of being Martin. You wanted to get the phone just now. Who were you going to call? Are you ready to vent your anger on me?"
"Okay, okay, let me be honest, the casting director did say that I grew up a little too fast, and that there was a guy named Anne Hathaway who had an advantage over me! The assistant really wanted to trick me into going to the hotel, but I won't be fooled."
"Damn, that woman named Anne Hathaway, who is two years older than me, came to compete with me for the role of a little girl, and I was the one who was eliminated. This is what makes me angry."
"But I don’t hate that casting director that much, even though his assistant is a bad person, hehe"
"Martin, did you know that the casting director was actually very optimistic about me and said he could introduce me to another movie? It was said to be adapted from a comic book. What was it called? Oh,"Ghost World"》"
"Oh, by the way, that casting director is a woman. You don’t have to pay too much attention to it. I know all the bad things in the industry and won’t be fooled."
"I still remember our agreement. If I run out of scenes, you will tailor a script for me, right?"
Martin nodded in agreement.
Relieved, he took a sip of juice and found that although the girl tried her best to appear happy, there was still a look of loss in her eyes.
"Which company produced the movie you were cast in?"
"Which one? Oh, you said"American Rhapsody", it's Paramount."
Paramount?
Martin nodded and talked about something else.
In the evening, after Martin sent Scarlett back to the hotel, he made a phone call in the car
"Hello? Hello Tommy, this is Martin Meyers." (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
"Haha, hello Martin, why did you remember to call me?"Tom Cruise's hearty laughter sounded on the other end of the phone.
"I need your help with something. I heard that you have a good relationship with Paramount?"
"Yes, I have a good relationship with Shirley Lansing, the president of Paramount. What can I tell you if you have any questions?"
There is a rumor in Hollywood that Tom Cruise is Shirley Lansing's puppy, and the two are close bed partners.
In 2007, when Tom Cruise presented the award to Shirley Lansing at the Oscars ("Joan Hersholt" Humanitarian Spirit Award), the two were also very close.
During the period when Shirley Lansing was in charge of Paramount, Paramount and Tom Cruise had the closest relationship. During that period, the two parties collaborated on as many as 14 films.
It was also during that period that Tom Cruise was able to reach an agreement with Paramount that was unique in Hollywood at the time -
Tom Cruise could not only get the film company's global box office and TV 22% of the profits from the broadcast. What is even more shocking to insiders is that at a time when DVDs were not yet popular, in addition to including ordinary video tape royalties (accounting for about 20% of the entire video tape profits) in the agreement, ordinary directors and investors could only divide this part. ), and also won a 22% dividend of the entire video tape royalty income.
On the eve of the filming of"Mission: Impossible 2", DVD appeared, and Tom Cruise re-contracted with Paramount to receive this part of the global revenue The personal dividend was increased to 30%, and then the DVD dividend was calculated based on his 40% share of global revenue, which is 12% of DVD sales profits.
This king-level contract that shocked everyone fundamentally broke the actor's mind The ceiling also laid the fuse for the break between Tom Cruise and Paramount.
You know, this contract allowed Tom Cruise to earn a lot of money in"Mission: Impossible 2" and"Mission: Impossible 3" The money is more than Paramount, which is incredible.
After Shirley Lansing left Paramount, Paramount proposed a more reasonable contract with Tom Cruise. Of course Tom Cruise did not agree. , and eventually the two sides broke up.
The angry Paramount boss finally terminated the contract with Tom Cruise in August 2006.
Of course, now Shirley Lansing is still on stage, and the two parties are still in the honeymoon period.
"Well, my friend auditioned for a movie……"
After Martin finished speaking, Cruise on the other end of the phone laughed,"It's very simple, I'll call"
"Okay, Tommy."
After Martin hung up the phone, it took about five minutes.
Tom Cruise called back.
"Done, let your friends sign the contract"
"Haha, thank you, I owe you a favor"
"Haha, don’t worry, I will let you pay it back."
The two started joking.
