Heads Up Hollywood

Chapter 28 Transactions

Tang En has a big temper, but it doesn't mean he is stupid and impulsive.

Peter Jackson is a New Zealander. He came to Hollywood to work hard. It took him more than ten years to climb from the independent film circle step by step to the mainstream film circle. The opportunity of such a big production as "Jing".

How could he do such a stupid thing?

Tang En remained calm, asked for Peter Jackson's phone number, and contacted him in person.

Peter Jackson's accent was very heavy, and Twain needed to distinguish carefully to understand, "I'm sorry, Twain, this was a misunderstanding."

Tang En frowned, "Misunderstanding? I don't think so. To me, this is more like humiliation."

"No, no, no!" Peter Jackson's tone suddenly became tense, "Twain, listen to me, I did send you an invitation, but that was three months ago."

"Three months ago?" Tang En frowned.

Peter Jackson said: "Yes, you know the situation at that time. The whole of America is laughing at you. I have experienced that experience and know that it is not a good feeling, so I want to help you and go to my crew to avoid the wind. Head, it's not what you think."

Tang En didn't know how credible the other party's words were, but he felt even more angry towards William Mihawk in his heart.

The invitation three months ago, this matter is well documented, it should not be false.

William suddenly brought out the invitation from three months ago out of nowhere, what did he want to do?

"Peter, I now believe that there is some misunderstanding, but I think we need to talk face to face, what do you think?" Tang En's eyes flickered.

Peter Jackson naturally didn't want to offend this popular director with unlimited potential, and immediately agreed, "Yes, I did not think carefully about this matter, and I will give you an explanation."

If Tang En releases this news, Peter Jackson's reputation in the circle will be ruined.

With Twain's current popularity and fame, even the most experienced boss in Hollywood would not be able to give him a position as an assistant director. This is an insult!

Fortunately, Tang En's handling method...is very mature.

"It seems that Tang En's temper is not as frivolous and simple as rumored by the outside world. It is surprising that he is calm. Fortunately!"

After hanging up the phone, Peter Jackson breathed a sigh of relief, pondered for a while, and called his assistant over, "Go and check, who is Don Walker's agent?"

...

Tang En also pondered for a long time, then smiled, shook his head, and made another call, "Hey, Liv, I'm Tang En."

"Ah! Dunn, hello!" Liv Tyler's voice was mixed with excitement.

Tang En smiled and said, "Do you have time tonight? May I treat you to a meal?"

Of course Liv Tyler understood what Tang En meant, and said happily, "Okay, it's an honor!"

"Alright, I'll pick you up later."

Tang En looked relaxed, and it was another wonderful night, wasn't it?

...

The next day, Tang En took Liv Tyler to the lobby of the Hilton Hotel, and met Peter Jackson with a smile and a friendly face.

Liv Tyler didn't know the purpose of Tang En bringing her here today, but felt that the bearded man in front of her...was a little familiar. When Tang En pronounced his name, she finally realized that it was Peter Jackson, so it was him!

Although it has not been officially announced yet, everyone in the circle knows that New Line Cinema is teaming up with Peter Jackson to bring the epic classic "Lord of the Rings" to the big screen.

When several people returned to the room, Peter Jackson spoke first, "Twain, I think the matter is clear."

"oh?"

Tang En glanced at him with a smile.

Peter Jackson glanced at Liv Tyler carefully.

Tang En smiled and put his arms around Liv's waist, "It's okay, this is my friend."

Liv Tyler smiled sweetly, very happy. Being able to be friends with a director with great potential is the guarantee of future career.

Peter Jackson lowered his voice and said, "Tang En, you know that CAA is facing a big change right now?"

Tang En nodded.

CAA, Creative Artists Agency, was once the largest agency in the United States. It had the ability to control Hollywood, but it was quickly countered, and a big change happened in 1995.

Michael Ovitz went to Disney as president, Ron Meyer went to Universal as president, Jay Maloney committed suicide, and Eli Emanuel left to found Endeavor.

The departure of many giants immediately made the Hollywood giant company panic, and the contracted artists left one after another, and Peter Jackson was one of them.

Although Liv Tyler was also in this circle, such high-level Hollywood secrets still made her a little frightened, because she smelled a conspiracy.

Even Liv understood the truth, so Tang En naturally understood, his expression changed immediately, "CAA is using me as a weapon!"

Tang En was very annoyed!

He is a signed director of CAA, but he did not expect that he was inexplicably involved in a power struggle between big companies.

In front of the media, Tang En blatantly clamored "1.8 billion guarantee", "Easy to kill Spielberg", "My movie is a legend", making everyone think that this young man is talented and intelligent, but has an out-of-the-ordinary personality. EQ arrears.

But they didn't know that this was completely a performance of Tang En's self-hype.

If everything develops according to CAA's script, Tang En and Peter Jackson are now in a quarrel, and even Peter Jackson's agency WMA is in a state of distress.

Killing someone with a borrowed knife is nothing more than that, right?

CAA is really a wishful thinking!

Fortunately, Tang En was stable on the outside, and chose to investigate first, instead of making a big fuss in his head.

Seeing Tang En angry, Peter Jackson knew that he had passed this test, "Tang En, this matter... is still my mistake after all, if you need help in the future, just ask."

Tang En smiled and said, "Peter, you're out of touch now. You meant it well at the beginning, didn't you?"

Peter Jackson breathed a sigh of relief, "As long as you understand."

Tang En patted Liv Tyler on the back, "Peter, let me introduce you to a very good actress, Liv Tyler, she is very beautiful, isn't she?"

Liv Tyler's excited heart almost jumped out.

Where did she not understand what Tang En meant? Happiness almost fainted!

Wasn't she deliberately sneaking into the upper-level receptions just to befriend a big man like Dunn Walker? Isn't she flattering Chenghuan in every possible way for the better development of her career?

Unexpectedly, she only dated Tang En twice, and Tang En took the initiative to pave the way for her before making any request.

Throughout Hollywood, is there a good man who values ​​love and righteousness more than Dunn Walker?

At this moment, Liv Tyler's eyes were full of gold stars, and she felt that Tang En was perfect and amazing. If she could be his girlfriend, how lucky would she be?

Peter Jackson glanced at Liv casually. He understood that this was Tang En's request to calm down the matter, and said with a smile, "Hi, Liv, you should have heard some rumors that I plan to make a super big movie. Project, Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, if you want, you can audition on my crew."

It was said to be an audition, but Tang En clearly pointed out that this was a deal. How could Liv Tyler not pass the audition?

"Okay, it's a great honor to work with a great director like you."

The smile on Liv Tyler's pretty face was like a peach blossom, gorgeous and charming.

Peter Jackson nodded, and looked at Tang En again. Liv Tyler is just a little guy, not worth mentioning.

"Twain, this matter... what are you going to do?"

There was a sneer at the corner of Tang En's mouth, "Hmph, since CAA is not principled, then I, Dunn Walker, am not easy to deal with! Isn't CAA going to fall apart? I don't mind adding fire!"

In this incident, Peter Jackson was also a victim, with a gloomy face, "Well, I will communicate with the WMA and ask them to increase the pressure. CAA this time...is too much!"

...

After leaving the Hilton Hotel, Liv Tyler was not afraid of the paparazzi's sneak shots, she just snuggled into Tang En's arms, took his arm affectionately, and said with a pretty face, "Tang En, my house is too small , I want to live with you during this time, is that okay?"

Dunn couldn't help admiring this girl.

After all, she climbed up from the bottom, and was nurtured by her family. She was really good at dealing with the world. Just now, Tang En gave her a big gift bag, and she immediately returned one.

Well, in Hollywood, the essence of everything is a transaction.

"Okay, I can't wait for it." Tang En didn't care about the paparazzi, a little gossip would increase his exposure.

Liv Tyler pursed her lips into a smile, hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice, "Twain, are you really going to turn against CAA?"

"Oh?" Tang En's eyes showed some surprise, "What do you think?"

Li Fu said: "CAA's influence is too great. Even if we encounter a crisis now, it's not... I think you can just fire your agent. There's no need to make a big fuss, it's not good for anyone."

Tang En couldn't help laughing and said: "Liv, I appreciate you a little bit, you are a very smart girl."

"Thank you, you..." Liv Tyler smiled sweetly, and then her eyes widened, "You...Twain, you were lying just now, weren't you? You didn't tell the truth to Peter Jackson!"

Tang En shook his head, with a stern expression, "Liv, sometimes a woman is too smart to be cute."

Liv leaned into his arms coquettishly, and whispered: "Twain, I tell you these things because I trust you 100%, otherwise I would never have said them."

This is true. The scene where Twain recommended her to Peter Jackson created an excellent and tall image for Liv Tyler.

Tang En was silent for a while, and his face became a little mocking and stern, "CAA is not a good thing, WMA is fine? Let them bite the dog in this matter, I just want to know how much benefit I can get !"
