Heads Up Hollywood

After a week of going through the process, the loan Tang En needed finally arrived.

Among them, Tang En personally borrowed 100 million US dollars through 15% of the global box office of "Star Wars Episode 1", with a term of one year and an annual interest rate of 10%.

Tang En Pictures received a loan of 30 million US dollars through "My Big Fat Greek Wedding", and "Wedding Crashers" received a loan of 20 million US dollars, both on a one-year term with an annual interest rate of 8%.

Because the venture capital organization seriously underestimated the future earnings of "Wedding Crashers", Fox Films advanced another 20 million US dollars for Dunn Films.

Then Tang En lent his 100 million US dollars to Tang En Pictures, so that the cash flow controlled by Tang En Pictures directly reached 170 million US dollars!

At the same time, Tang En Pictures and Marvel Pictures officially announced to the whole society that the "Spider-Man" movie project was launched, and the investment will reach a staggering 150 million US dollars.

At the same time, Twain Films is secretly cooperating with CAA. Germany has contacted Constantine Films, and the UK has contacted Shengri Films to reach a cooperation on the tax rebate policy.

It is estimated to take one and a half months.

Since the Oscars, Twain has been working on a loan for the shooting cost of "Spider-Man". After two and a half months of hard work, he finally achieved his goal.

Not only that, but he also overfulfilled the task. After receiving tax rebates from Britain and Germany, he even secured the investment in "A Beautiful Mind" in the second half of the year.

Solving such a big problem calmly gave Tang En more confidence in his future development.

...

On Thursday, June 3, the single-day box office of "Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace" has dropped below 8 million US dollars. Dunn and Shirley Hirschler had a formal conversation.

Shirley Hirschler is very scheming and greedy for the rich and powerful, hoping to live a better life with her daughter.

However, no parent has the heart to live a bad life for their children.

Tang En didn't even need to waste his time talking, Shirley Hershler immediately understood what he meant.

"Yeah, I know too. I don't know much about movies. I used to be an accountant in a law firm in Israel. When I returned to the United States, I was worried that Nat would be bullied in Hollywood, so I switched careers and became an agent. people."

Shirley Heshler could see that Tang En attached great importance to his daughter. If he really just played casually like he treated those female stars, there would be no need for such trouble.

With Tang En paving the way for her daughter's future, Shirley Hershler naturally raised her hands in approval.

"Nate is going to be eighteen soon. She is a big girl. I think she needs an independent space." Tang En said with sincerity. He was really thinking about Natalie's future, rather than getting married and moving to France. To live with my mother.

"Hollywood...it's too messy, especially some young girls." Shirley Hershler was a little embarrassed, and sighed, "Our family believes in Judaism, Nat became famous very early, I'm afraid she's like Drew Barrymore That's depraved, so the discipline is stricter. To be honest, you are the first boy she has ever dated."

Tang En could understand her very well, "I understand, Hollywood... With me here, no one dares to bully Nat. She is a star, and when she enters university, I will arrange someone to secretly protect her."

"That would be great."

Shirley Hershler looked a little depressed. Her daughter's future was guaranteed, but she lost her job as a broker, and her daughter gained independent financial rights after she became an adult. Where is her source of income?

Tang En took a deep look at her and said with a smile: "Mrs. Hirschler, I heard you just now... what work did you do in the financial field?"

"Know a little about the law."

"The scale of Tang En Pictures is getting bigger and bigger, but there has never been an independent financial department, and the financial power is all in my hands. You know, I am a director, and I usually have to study movies, so I have limited energy."

Shirley Hershler's eyes lit up for a moment, and she finally understood Tang En's meaning, "Do you need my help?"

Tang En smiled and said, "Thank you so much! For financial work, we really need a master like you who is good at communication and understands legal knowledge. Of course, the most important point is that you have my trust."

"You believe me?"

"Of course, you are Nat's mother, we will be a family sooner or later."

The word "family" from Tang En immediately touched Shirley Heshler's heart, so let's not mention the joy.

...

Natalie's brokerage contract is with WMA Brokerage Company, but she is a minor, and the contract is not very binding. CAA only spent 30,000 US dollars to buy out her brokerage contract.

Hilda Qualley was so excited she wanted to dance.

She never thought that when she was on the set of "Titanic", a set assistant who was kicked out because of Kate Winslet's underwear being molested turned out to be her career dignitary.

Tang En pushed Kate Winslet to the throne of Oscar queen, and directly established her status as a big-name agent in the CAA agency.

Unexpectedly, surprises followed!

Reese Witherspoon, a very inconspicuous little person, suddenly became Tang En's secretary.

With Tang En as a strong backing, will Reese's future stardom be worse? Tang En Pictures even directly made a movie "Wedding Crashers", making her the first female lead in her life.

And then... a surprise like a nuclear bomb.

Twain gave her Nicole Kidman, the top actress in Hollywood now!

A few years ago, Hilda Querry was still Pat Kingsley's follower, that is the ace agent to look up to.

Unexpectedly, if Tang En didn't make a move, he would be astonishing when he made a move. He directly broke up the golden couple of Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, and then sent Nicole to her subordinates.

How is this different from sending money?

No, it's more exaggerated than giving money, it includes status!

Last year, UTA Brokers poached agent Tracy Jacobs from CAA Brokerage, sending her directly to an executive position.

Why?

Because Tracy Jacobs has Johnny Depp in his hands!

Tang En's act of gifting Nicole Kidman to her was equivalent to pushing Hilda Querry to the throne of CAA agency executives.

Of course, in order to take Pat Kingsley's face into consideration, the board of directors did not appoint him.

But it doesn't matter, Tang En will continue to give a big gift!

The next target is Natalie Portman, the heroine of the most popular and popular movie "Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace".

Hilda Querry was going crazy with happiness, and when she heard the news from Brian Lord, the whole person was dizzy.

Natalie's current status is not high, and she has just stepped into the second line.

But what is her identity?

Dawn Walker's girlfriend!

With Tang En behind the scenes, not to mention the first-line, even becoming an A-list superstar like Tom Cruise and Mel Gibson is not too much!

Natalie is a treasure trove of limitless potential!

Hilda Qualley seems to have seen that within CAA, she and Brian Lord are equals.

For the unknown benefactor behind her, Don Walker, she naturally wanted to pay a visit to express her gratitude.

Hilda Querry came to Tang En Pictures with a humble attitude. When she saw Tang En, she was even more in awe than the employees of Tang En Pictures.

Tang En said with a smile: "Hilda, we are old acquaintances, so you don't need to be polite?"

Tang En respected Hilda Querry very much.

Throughout Hollywood, among the female agents, apart from Nancy Josephson who made Julia Roberts and Cameron Diaz popular, Hilda Querry is the best.

She brought out three Oscar queens Kate Winslet, Cate Blanchett and Reese Witherspoon, as well as Marion Cotillard, Jessica Chastain, Michelle Bill Williams and other famous actresses.

Tang En handed over Nicole Kidman and Natalie Portman to her one after another, not because of friendship.

"Director Walker..."

"Call me Dunn!"

"Okay, Dunn, I really don't know what to say, thank you so much!" Hilda Querry was a little incoherent.

"Don't get excited, sit down and talk." Tang En waved his hand, pointing to the sofa, "Hilda, you know, Nat is my girlfriend, and I have great expectations for her, do you understand what I mean? "

"Understood, I will definitely give her the best treatment, all scripts, she will choose first!"

Hilda Querry has been helped by Mrs. Tang En, and she will definitely reciprocate.

Tang En shook his head, "That's not necessary, Nat will not be short of money, I don't want her to be too tired. So my request is very simple, Nat's film contract must be small but good! Literary and artistic films must win awards, at least Oscar nominations; Whether it’s a commercial film, a comedy, or a sci-fi film, it must be a hit at the box office!”

"this……"

Even though Hilda Querry was very capable, she also felt that Tang En's request was too outrageous.

Tang En smiled, "I know, in your opinion, my thoughts may be too much. I just don't want to see someone use Natalie Portman's gimmick to make a bad movie to make money. It will affect her Image, she is Qingliu."

"I understand that in this regard, I will strictly control it. I will directly reject some low-end advertisements. It's just about movies... I'm sorry, Tang En, no one can guarantee it." Hilda Querry was worried.

Tang En was very relaxed, and said with a smile: "It's very simple, you need to discuss with me in advance about Nat's film appointment, and she can only make movies that I approve!"

Hilda Querry instantly understood what Tang En meant. He hoped that Natalie would make the movie exactly as she wanted.

This desire to control is too strong, right?

But the favor was too great for Hilda Querry to refuse.

The agent should put the interests of the employer as the first criterion, and Twain also thinks of Natalie. This is not contradictory.

"I see." Hilda Qualley nodded.

"Hmm." Tang En blinked his eyes a few times, and said with deep meaning: "I see that all of your subordinates are actresses, hehe, it seems that several of them have something to do with me."

Hilda Querry felt bitter in her heart, and thought to herself: "You still understand, do you know how much trouble the affair between Kate and Nicole has caused me, huh?"

Her heart skipped a beat, and seeing Tang En's half-smile, she suddenly understood what he meant.

This guy is really shameless!
