Heads Up Hollywood

Due to the sudden change, Tang En asked the entire crew to rest temporarily.

Right now, the crew is in a state of panic. Even if the filming is forced to start, it will be difficult for the actors to produce a performance that satisfies Tang En even if they are not in good condition.

Tang En has already figured it out, whether it's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided!

He had just set up this team for less than two months, and the cohesion of the team had not yet formed. Now it was all supported by Tang En's salary and his reputation.

If Tang En can come up with a satisfactory solution to this unexpected incident, it will definitely increase his prestige in this team, so that he can firmly control this royal team, instead of relying solely on the temptation of money.

Regarding how to deal with this matter, Tang En's choice is very simple, two paths go side by side!

He first made a phone call to Brian Lord, the boss of CAA. After all, the crew of "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" enjoyed the semi-package service of CAA, and Brian was obliged to do some work for the safety of the crew.

Bryan has a strong network and connections, not just in Hollywood, but all the way to the White House. With him appearing, doing official mediation, and exerting pressure, the result must be reported soon.

For the second call, Tang En chose Sofia Coppola's father, Francis Coppola, the head of the Coppola family, and Italian ethnicity.

The popularity of the "The Godfather" trilogy made this Hollywood director directly become a boss of Italian ethnicity!

In the confrontation with the police officer, Tang En didn't get any advantage, but he learned from the words of the fat detective that the group of bad boys who came to throw the gasoline cans were of Italian descent.

This gave Tang Enmao a sudden thought, and he quickly thought of the important point, this is Chicago!

Even in the glamorous 1990s, the remnants... still exist!

With Francis Coppola's influence among the Italian ethnic group, this trivial matter can be resolved in one sentence.

Tang En noticed the worried eyes of everyone in the crew, and he was firm in his heart, waiting for the result.

After 40 minutes, the whole crew suddenly panicked, and even some girls screamed and cried bitterly.

Nicole Kidman's face was pale, and Sofia Coppola was trembling with fright, not daring to breathe.

Those bad boys who set fires are back!

They rode motorcycles painted with ghost paintings, making a "buzzing" roar, just like when they threw gasoline cans before, roaring, and the scene was huge.

"Quiet! Don't be afraid!"

Tang En yelled, stood up, made a gesture of pressing down, and then strode over.

"Twain!"

Everyone was startled and hurriedly called his name.

Tang En turned his head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, trust me, the matter has been resolved!"

"Solved?" There was a hint of suspicion in everyone's eyes, obviously they didn't believe Tang En's statement. How do you deal with the punks who even shy away from the police?

Tang En, on the other hand, was very confident and strode forward. Sure enough, after taking a closer look, I saw these dozen or so bad boys, all with bruised noses and swollen faces, and the most exaggerated corner of one eye was densely packed with silk threads, which obviously had more than a dozen stitches.

Seeing Tang En approaching with a blank face, the dozen or so bad boys quickly got off the motorcycle, stood upright, and bowed to Tang En to apologize, "I'm sorry!"

The sound is loud, but it contains a lot of unwillingness!

Looking at their childish but angry faces, Tang En couldn't help sighing.

Tattoos, nose rings, earrings, hair dye, leather clothes... Maybe this is the standard dress of bad boys at the bottom of society?

Seeing that they are about the same age as me, but they have taken a completely different path, is it the responsibility of society? If you don't work hard, God can't save you!

Tang En understood that they were forced to admit their mistakes, and that they still had resentment and anger in their hearts. He also understood that no matter how hard he tried to persuade them, it was impossible to influence this group of unscrupulous young people. Let’s forget about it, let’s not take it as an example.”

The eyes of the bad boys lit up, they thought they were going to play tricks and suffer some flesh and blood, just like in the past.

But I didn't expect the silly boy in front of me to be so talkative, so he immediately grinned happily, "Alright then, since we're fine, let's go first, goodbye!"

The bad boys laughed, got on the motorcycle, buzzed, roared, and roared away.

Tang En shook his head, feeling quite helpless, and heard the cheers from the crew behind him. The second female lead, Catherine Heigl, rushed over excitedly, hugged Tang En's arm, and said coquettishly flattering: "Twain, you are amazing, everything is great!"

Tang En understood the deep meaning of the other party's words, lowered his voice and said: "I will go to your place in two days, and teach you a good little fairy!"

Katherine Heigl chuckled, ignoring the strange eyes of everyone on the set, winking like silk, and kissed Tang En with a "boo", "You said it, don't forget. If you don't come, I won't talk to you anymore."

As a young star who has just shown her talents, she is not afraid. She wishes everyone would spread the word about her relationship with Twain.

These days, the topic is fame!

There are a lot of young actresses in the crew. Everyone saw it and was angry in their hearts. They all wished to eat Katherine Heigl raw, and they kept cursing: "Bitch! Big Bitch!"

Envy, jealousy, and hatred are mostly bitter, there is no way, who can tell someone to have a pretty face and a good figure? It is not surprising that it can win the director's favor.

At this time, another team of police cars came.

Unlike just one police car just now, a total of four police cars were dispatched this time. But the leader was not a police car marked "Police", but an old Ford sedan.

After parking the car, a middle-aged man in a suit got out of the Ford car. He looked about forty years old, a little bald, and walked with a dignified appearance, full of aura.

The four police cars behind stopped in a hurry, and a dozen policemen quickly jumped out and ran over eagerly.

Among them were Tang En's old acquaintances, the fat detective and the skinny detective.

"Hello, is this Mr. Walker?"

"I'm Tang En, who are you?"

"You can call me Fred, I'm from the FBI."

Tang En glanced at the ID photo shown by Fred, almost dazed his eyes, and his face became a little stiff.

I didn't expect Brian Lord to make such a big fuss and go straight to the FBI! No wonder almost all the members of the local police station were dispatched. This is a big hole.

"Mr. Walker, we have received many reports that there is a group of extremely dangerous criminal gangs nearby, but unfortunately we have not received enough evidence." Fred glanced at the policemen behind him, " I hope you can tell me the whole story of this matter, so that I can provide you with the fairest legal protection, okay?"

Tang En felt bitter in his heart, he didn't expect to be involved in the dispute between the local police station and the FBI.

This kind of thing is not something he can participate in at this level. What's more, he called Francis Coppola on the front foot, and wiped out his fellow Italians with his back foot. Will he still be mixed up in the future?

Tang En glanced at the nervous policemen behind him, shook his head, "I'm sorry, Fred, this matter is over for me."

"It's over?" Fred glanced at the black grass after the burning, "This is a lot of loss to the crew."

Tang En smiled and said: "There are losses, but they can be settled with the insurance company. And they have come to apologize just now. They are just a group of ten-year-old children. They made mistakes and corrected them. There is no need to make a big fuss. That's it , everyone in the crew saw it, and they can testify."

Fred glanced at the crew, and couldn't help being a little sarcasm, "Director Walker really has a kind heart!"

Tang En immediately turned serious, "Art practitioners like us are here to convey correct values ​​to the United States and even the world, and guide the correct cultural trend. It is a prerequisite and a must for everyone to have a good heart!"

Fred's face was a little distorted. Seeing his firmness, he knew that this operation had failed again. He took a deep look at him, "Then I wish Director Walker's movie a big hit. Goodbye!"

After Fred left, an old policeman with white hair and white beard came over with a ruddy complexion, and excitedly shook Tang En's hand, "Mr. Walker, thank you, thank you!"

Tang En frowned slightly, not in a high mood, "I just hope that my movie will not be harassed during the filming process!"

"Of course, I can guarantee this!" The old policeman is obviously the leader of these people, and immediately arranges work, day shift, night shift, and is on duty 24 hours a day.

Such top treatment, how can an independent film with an investment of only more than 10 million yuan be able to enjoy it?

Even if it is a commercial blockbuster with an investment of 100 to 200 million yuan, it is difficult to get 24-hour full protection from local security forces!

Dunn Walker's two phone calls instantly changed the status and influence of "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" in the Chicago area.

It is even conceivable that with this network and relationship, if Tang En has the opportunity to film here again in the future, the treatment he will get will not be too bad.

Tang En couldn't help feeling a little emotional. Through this incident, he also understood a lot and learned a lot.

Hollywood...it is not enough to have capital and ability.

There is also a very important relationship - network!

From this arson incident, we can see the great influence of Francis Coppola and Brian Lord. This is not only related to your status in Hollywood, but can even affect the local political situation in many cases.

Tang En suddenly felt fortunate that he didn't get into trouble with CAA, and his relationship with Brian Lord became more and more harmonious. Although there are many grievances with the Jewish tycoon Steve Spielberg, they are not to the point of tearing up the face. If there is a chance in the future, let's ease it up.

Unite all forces that can be united to fight against the powerful enemies that may be faced in the future.

Tang En took a deep breath and felt more and more that the road to Hollywood was not easy.
