The Wolf of Los Angeles

Facing Hawk, Tom Cruise talked about some of the current troubles.

Since the end of this year's Oscar, there have been many extremely unfriendly voices of Tom Cruise, even criticizing and verballying.

Among them, Nicole Kidman is the most active.

The creature like an ex-wife is really lethal and can turn the person killed by the ex-husband.

About a month ago, when Nicole Kidman posted the Oscar Best Actress Trophy on Twitter, he also specially accompanied the photos of him celebrating crazy on the street after the divorce.

Its purpose can be imagined.

From formal entertainment media, to street gossip tabloids, to the Internet, praising Nicole Kidman for kicking Tom Cruise out to live out his true self, and then using this to stomp Tom Cruise’s report is even more There are endless emergence.

On the one hand, there are people behind the scenes, and they are in the middle of contact; on the other hand, when a star encounters problems, the media will definitely not give him a chance, but rush forward and step on him to death, so that there will be a sensational effect.

The last time Hawke met Tom Cruise, the latter felt that it was all a little trouble. After a long time, he felt that it was getting more and more trouble.

Tom Cruise said: "This has affected my reputation. I am planning to work with Spielberg on a super science fiction project "World War". It was originally very smooth, but now Spielberg and DreamWorks are there. The side retreated a little, and the negotiations were temporarily put on hold."

"I've seen some news about you," Hawke said, thinking: "Before the Oscar and after the Oscar, it's completely different."

Tom Cruise said directly: "After the Oscars, I fired up former agent Pat Kingsley. CAA adopted the co-management model of big account agents. Kingsley was the founder and senior partner of PMK PR. , so I also served as my PR affairs agent, which is equivalent to a PR manager."

Hawke thought for a while and asked, "Are you going to leave CAA?"

"In fact, leaving CAA is inevitable, and my contract with them is about to expire." Tom Cruise forced a smile: "This is also a reason for everything going wrong. CAA will not waste resources on a person who is about to leave. on the client.”

He added: "Since I became enemies with Pat Kinsley, these troubles have been found one after another. My people found out that they have a direct relationship with her, she used the media resources she accumulated over the years and the influence of CAA. , and the media's eagerness to hack me, instigated all this."

"She also united your ex-wife, and your ex-wife has too much privacy for you," Hawke said.

Tom Cruise couldn't deny this and said, "There's no way, she knows me too much."

There is no way to find out who is right or wrong for this ex-couple couple.

But there is no doubt about it. Without Tom Cruise's resources, there would never be Nicole Kidman's today.

Ten years of youth are exchanged for Hollywood's front line. It is difficult for outsiders to comment on whoever suffers losses.

Tom Cruise said: "In the current situation, Nicole Kidman accused me of controlling her life, manipulating her faith, and tying her most basic freedoms. I became a complete media report about her. The villain is still the super demonized kind."

Hawke nodded, "See it."

Tom Cruise continued: "There are also news that attacks me as having an abnormal belief, being a homosexual, taking drugs in large quantities on a daily basis, which is instructed by Pat Kinsley behind the scenes."

This time he came to Hawke with a very clear goal: "Help me solve the people who create troubles and reverse the public opinion environment."

Hawke must first ask clearly: "The ultimate goal is to reverse the public opinion environment, right?"

Tom Cruise smiled, “Yes.”

Hawke was silent for a moment and said directly, "From what you explained and what I learned, if I were asked to do it, this work would need to be divided into three parts."

"Please say." Tom Cruise completely believed in Hawke's ability.

Hawke roughly said: "First, solve the people and things that cause trouble for you; secondly, reduce your own negative news and do a series of things that change the reputation of public opinion. The current media and public opinion are not only controlled by those traditional papers. In the hands of quality media.”

Tom Cruise immediately followed: "And your Twitter."

Hawke showed quite confidence: "If you want to talk about single audiences, Twitter is no less than any mainstream media in North America."

Tom Cruise has been following the Smith incident, as well as Bryant's Hawkshire Gate, fully endorsing Hawk's claim.

Especially in Yingjun Gate, Twitter has led all media with its strong timeliness and network influence, completely guiding the direction of public opinion.

Hawke's words continue: "One more thing is to keep your achievements in the movie and achieve greater success. As long as your commercial value is high enough, these are small problems that will be passed quickly."

Tom Cruise also understood this: "The current situation is that the first two points affect the latter, and it is still constantly affecting."

Hawke nodded, "So let's talk about it first. The problem comes from two women, Nicole Kidman and Pat Kingsley."

"Yes!" Tom Cruise did not have a big objection to these two people, but hated them: "Eliminate these, we must first solve them."

Hawke said seriously: "Nicole Kidman is better not to move. Anything that is unfavorable to her will become an excuse for her to attack you. Now she is with the Oscar Best Actress Trophy, just keep attacking you, It will gain huge media traffic and hype up your popularity to a very high level.”

He analyzed: "If we directly attack Nicole Kidman, what would it be? She is a woman. In today's social environment, especially in Los Angeles, California, women are not just preferential treatment, but also like her shouting freedom. A woman with independent slogans has privileges, and attacking her will only attract crazy counterattacks from female organizations and liberal media. "Tom Cruise can be today, but it is not naive at all, agrees: "If these organizations protest publicly , Hollywood will be affected, and my reputation has taken a sharp turn."

"So, our goal is Pat Kingsley." Hawke has heard of the woman: "She has been working deeply with Nicole Kidman, and is behind the scenes, not a sensitive public figure, if We can suppress her with tough measures, and Nicole Kidman will be much more stable because she can't stand the exposure."

He looked at Tom Cruise: "How much does Harvey Weinstein play when Nicole Kidman wins Best Actress this time."

Tom Cruise's mood fluctuated slightly, but he said, "As the outside world imagined, how could that fat man win the prize without real benefits? What he wanted is well known to everyone in the circle."

Hawke nodded, "Then, our primary goal is Pat Kingsley." He emphasized his tone and said specifically, "Tommy, the first time I have to remind you that I am good at using it, All are unconventional means.”

Tom Cruise responded: "These are not problems."

"It's okay in this regard, we have a foundation for cooperation," Hawke said.

Tom Cruise asked again, "What about the next stage?"

"You always have to give me some time." Hawke smiled, "I want to consider a mature plan."

Tom Cruise opened his hand: "No problem, my friend." He turned to another topic: "Public relations fee? You can make a price."

Hawke is not polite: "In the Eagle County Gate incident, Kobe Bryant hired me as his PR manager for $3 million, you are my friend..."

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

What Tom Cruise lacks is not money. He has a greater influence and generous position than Kobe and his wife. He said directly: "$3.5 million, except for this money, all the additional expenses are mine."

Working with pleasure makes people sound smooth and makes Hawke motivated to do things. He nodded and replied, "Yes, come to my company tomorrow and we will officially sign an agreement."

"See you tomorrow morning," Tom Cruise said.

Hawke said again: "Come quietly and keep it confidential. The other party is not an ordinary person. It is best for us to kill one blow before attracting her attention, and not give her any chance to fight back."

Tom Cruise replied, "No problem."

Hawke stood up and shook his hands.

The two left the reception room one by one, and Tom Cruise met with the driver first.

Hawke called Edward and drove back to the company in Mercedes-Benz.

Tonight Erica went to Woodland Hills to accompany her grandparents and would not come to Santa Monica.

Hawke simply went to the company to sleep.

On the way, he said to Edward: “Tomorrow, after I sign with Tom Cruise, you go and inform Campos to let him know about Tom Cruise’s former agent and PR manager Pat Kingsley. ”

Edward understood as soon as he heard it: "The emphasis is on those shameful things?"

"That's right." Hawke wouldn't have a great chance of winning if he fought with a person who has been deeply rooted in this industry for decades in the traditional Hollywood and media area.

He thought for a while, "Not only her, but also the people around her."

Edward replied, "I understand." He also reminded Hawk, "Boss, we have an old tool guy here. Have you forgotten? He may know more."

Hawke remembered: "Frank? I haven't seen him lately."

Edward said, "This guy lives a comfortable life. Recently, he asked Miss Me to sign, borrowed a car from the company, and went camping with him, an old guy. It is estimated that it will take some time to come back."

Hawke didn't say much, went back to the company and went to the office to check it online, and found that "Dark Night Journey" has a good reputation online.

"Watching a cool movie is very satisfying and comfortable."

"Where did this director come out? I haven't heard of it before. The film was very good, the turning point was progressing, and every link was good."

"Didn't anyone pay attention to the protagonist's daughter? It's so slutty!"

Hawke personally feels that this movie should make money.

The next morning, Tom Cruise and his lawyer secretly came to Twitter and officially signed a public relations and business strategic planning agreement with West Coast Studio.

The two signed a contract and shook hands.

Tom Cruise was very happy and directly sent someone to transfer $3.5 million to the West Coast Studio’s account.
