World-class directors in the entertainment industry

City of Angels.

Death Star Building.

CAA headquarters.

President's Office.

"Michael, welcome to CAA."

Martin stood up with a smile and came over to give the visitor a hug.

"Martin, I have to come. Hey... I have to do all the errands. It's such a hard life."

Michael, whose hair was combed with oil, hugged Martin and said helplessly.

"Haha...Michael, I have the best cigars here, come and try them."

Martin pulled Michael to sit down.

They took out their collection of cigars and cut them up. After the secretary brought the coffee, the two of them lit the cigars and started smoking.

"Michael, tell me, what mission did you come with?"

Michael, who had half gray and half black hair, wore a well-fitting suit, and was dressed very elegantly, slowly took out a puff of cigar smoke, and then said with a smile:

"Martin, one of your customers is making a lot of noise these days."

"We even hired two of the top ten super lawyers in North America. It must have cost a lot of money."

There is no need to go to the Three Treasures Palace. Although foreigners do not have this proverb, they understand this principle, so Martin has already guessed why the person in front of him suddenly came to the door.

Michael Douglas, when outsiders hear this name, if they know it, they may say, oh, this is an actor who once won an Oscar for Best Actor, and is also a producer who produced "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" decades ago.

Won the Oscar for Best Picture.

But Martin is not an outsider, but an insider.

Therefore, the Michael Douglas in front of him not only knew his apparent identity, but also his inner identity.

Even though the Michael Douglas in front of you seems not very famous, after all, this man is very young. He is now over 60 years old. It is difficult for ordinary people to be familiar with an elderly actor.

But the Douglas family is indeed one of the pillars behind Oscar.

At present, there is still an immortal person in this family, and that is the father of Michael Douglas. This old man is now ninety-six years old and is still alive.

He once participated in the war. After the war, he came back to join Broadway. Within two years, he was nominated for the best actor. In the 1950s and 1960s, he established his own production company. He was ranked as the "Greatest Actor in the Century" by the New Century.

Seventeenth place.

These are not the important points. The important point is that Michael Douglas's father is still alive, and his father has a great right to win an Oscar. In the past few decades, no film producer has not visited the Douglas family for any film competing for awards.

As for the Oscar judges, these people more or less need to look at the family's face.

Although the Douglas family is only one of the families behind Oscar, it is still very powerful. The six major companies in Hollywood will not offend these people unless they have to.

Maybe it seems that these families can only affect the Oscar, as if they don't care, but the Oscar does have the support of Congress.

Martin is a native, and he clearly understands the powerful relationship. Why is Harvey, a mad dog, not paid attention to by the company? Even if he scolded Disney, one of the six major companies in Hollywood, they ignored Harvey. This is the power of it.

.

It's not that you can't punish mad dogs, but it's just that you're too lazy to do it and it's unnecessary.

Some face cannot be touched. Oscars and the Big Six of Hollywood don't care. Big companies like them value money the most, but you can ignore it, but you must not cause damage.

Oscar is a national strategic equipment, a weapon used to fight.

"Haha... I spent a lot of money. It's just that Michael, although my employer doesn't have much money, he is a young man. As a young man, he has a good face. For the sake of face, money is just a thing outside the body. He has an indifferent attitude, so

The consequences of irritating my employer will be whoever caused it will bear the consequences."

Martin smiled and replied lukewarmly.

At this time, he is not representing himself, so he needs to show his employer's attitude.

"Martin, there are only two of us here, there is no need to talk."

Michael Douglas shook his head and spoke seriously:

"I guess you, an old fox, have guessed the reason why I came."

"Let me just say it bluntly, your employer's practices are very bad. If things go according to the current trend, many of the inner darkness in our Hollywood will be seen by the whole world. You know, I know, these dark sides.

Even people in Hollywood know about it, but they can’t let people in other countries know about it.”

"Although this information cannot defeat Hollywood, it is indeed a big stain on our industry. It will discredit Hollywood and affect the global influence of the Oscars."

"This is contrary to the above requirements. It lowers Hollywood and the global influence of the Oscars. It also affects our country's global influence."

Martin listened quietly, took two more puffs of cigarette, and then spoke:

"So...Michael, tell me, what do I need to do?"

Michael Douglas looked at Martin and said calmly:

"Of course the prosecution is withdrawn. This matter will be settled privately and cannot be brought to light. No one will ask questions until death in private."

Martin smiled and nodded, then raised two fingers and asked:

"Michael, my employer has invested more than $200 million."

"Tell me, how do I convince my employer to drop the lawsuit?"

"Or do you think my employer is as rich as Bill, the richest man in the world, and a mere two hundred million dollars doesn't matter?"

"Michael, if you can find me a reasonable reason, then I will promise you to persuade my employer to drop the lawsuit."

Michael Douglas was stunned for a moment, frowned and began to think.

The words were not what he said, but what the people behind him meant, not just the Douglas family, but many people.

Michael Douglas also knew about these things, because Harvey Weinstein had interactions with these people.

"Okay, Martin, this matter really needs to be done slowly. To be honest, when I came out this time, I guessed that this job would be difficult to do."

Martin smiled and nodded, knowing that the Michael Douglas in front of him was just an errand boy.

"Michael, I sent a message to my employer before. I wonder if you heard it?"

Michael Douglas took a sip of coffee and then said:

"I heard that, that's why I came here. The temper of your employer, that Chinese guy, is really..."

"If things get too big according to his ideas, Martin, you can guess what will happen. How can the people behind me tolerate this situation?"

Martin smiled and nodded:

'Michael, you are here, please bring me a message back.'

When Michael Douglas heard that things were turning around, he became energetic:

"Oh, Martin, you say."

Martin's face calmed down, and he paused and thought before speaking:

"It is not impossible to withdraw the prosecution, but there are conditions."

Having said this, facing Michael Douglas, Martin raised two fingers again:

"First, according to my employer's requirements, let Meryl, Judy, and Quentin be in the top 30 countries in the world's GDP, and have 30 consecutive publications in the media and newspapers with the largest circulation in each country.

Tian Deng Bao apologizes.”

"Second, compensate my employer for the money he spent on these three people during this period."

"As long as these two conditions are met, the matter can still be discussed."

"otherwise..."
