Hollywood Director 1992

#219 - Beauty Trap

Tom Cruise cursed Link, that bastard, in his heart.

After getting Monica Bellucci, that bastard Link kept feeding her good roles.

Last year, Monica played the evil female villain in "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective." Although the film received a lot of criticism after its release, her performance in the film was recognized by many professionals.

This year, Monica received two more good roles:

One is in the biographical film "Ed Wood" starring Johnny Depp, about the famous B-movie director from Hollywood in the 1950s and 60s. Link was once called 'Ed Wood II'.

Monica got the role of the second female lead, Ed Wood's confidante.

The other is "GoldenEye 007" produced by MGM Studios, where Monica plays a Bond girl, a beautiful and deadly female agent.

Both are very substantial roles.

These roles were actually obtained for Monica by UTA agency in consideration of Link's reputation.

It's just rumored that Link spent a lot of money to buy the roles for Monica Bellucci.

For a time, many actresses were very envious of Monica.

At the same time, the boyfriends and husbands of actresses in the industry were under tremendous pressure. In order not to be outdone by Link, the men could only try to get resources for them, but they didn't have as much money and resources as Link, so they couldn't get any good roles at all.

In comparison, it made them seem very incompetent.

This also made many men secretly resent Link, wondering why a playboy was so serious when picking up girls.

Tom Cruise also cursed Link fiercely in his heart.

"Nicole, don't worry, good roles need to be found slowly."

Tom Cruise's voice became gentle.

"Can't I?"

Nicole Kidman showed a strong look of disappointment on her face and sneered, "Do you want to go find Sherry Lansing and ask her if she is willing to invest in 'To Die For'? If she is willing to invest, I can give up cooperating with Guess Who Films."

"Nicole, don't believe those tabloid reports. Ms. Lansing and I are just business partners, not what you imagine."

"What is it like? I know you are business partners. Could it be that besides this relationship, you have other relationships?"

Nicole Kidman smiled knowingly.

"No, no, what I said was also those rumors in the tabloids, they are all false."

Tom Cruise quickly explained.

"Okay, I believe you, and I hope you can believe me too. I am cooperating with Guess Who Films just because Guess Who is willing to invest in this film. We have a basis for cooperation, and nothing else."

"Nicole, are you sure you want to do this? You know that the Big Seven studios are preparing to join forces to deal with Guess Who. Guess Who will encounter big trouble next. Cooperating with them is definitely not a good choice."

"I know. If I can find other investors, I will change my mind. Before there are other investors, Guess Who Films is my only option at the moment. Tom, I am also an actor, I also need to work, I hope you can understand me."

Nicole Kidman put away the magazine on the table, hugged it in her arms, and got up to go upstairs.

Bang!

Tom Cruise kicked the sofa angrily. The two ragdoll cats lying on the pillows were frightened and jumped up, quickly jumped off the sofa, and followed their hostess upstairs.

"Link! Damn Link!"

Tom Cruise roared in a low voice. If it weren't for Link, his career would not be affected, his income would not decline, and he and Nicole Kidman would not quarrel so often.

It's all Link's fault, damn Link.

At this moment, he very much hoped to see Guess Who Films being divided by the Big Seven, and to see Link bankrupt and rolling back to the slums.

Ding Ling Ling! Ding Ling Ling!

The phone rang suddenly. Tom Cruise answered the phone with a dark face. Michael Ovitz's rough voice came from the phone.

Ovitz told him that the "Mission: Impossible" project was confirmed, and he would still be the male lead.

Tom Cruise said he knew.

"Mission: Impossible" is a key project of Paramount Pictures recently. The initial plan was for him to be the male lead. Affected by the betting incident and River's death and other negative news, his reputation was damaged to a certain extent. The board of directors of Paramount Pictures suggested changing actors to be safer.

However, with the support of Ms. Sherry Lansing, he was not worried about not getting the role.

Michael Ovitz heard that his voice was not very happy, and asked him with a smile if he wanted to go out for a drink.

Tom Cruise remembered that Ovitz had a wide network of contacts, and mentioned the "To Die For" project, asking if CAA was interested, like arranging other film projects, having CAA pull in investment for filming, and then packaging and selling it to the film company.

"To Die For? Wait, Tom, you said Guess Who Films is preparing to invest in this film and continue to use Nicole as the female lead?"

"Yes."

"You suspect Link is after Nicole?"

"I'm guessing. Last time I ran into Link at a bar, his eyes were full of greed when he looked at Nicole."

"Is that so? This might be a good idea."

"A good idea? How could this be a good idea? That playboy Link is after Nicole."

"Haha, Tom, wouldn't you like to see Link go bankrupt?"

"Huh? Are these two things related?"

"Of course. We have been looking for Link's black material, but we haven't found anything substantial. If he seduces someone else's wife, destroys someone else's marriage, or turns him into a rapist, do you think Link will be discredited? Once he is discredited, will anyone still watch his movies? If no one watches his movies, Guess Who Films will definitely decline, and Link will go bankrupt. Isn't this what you have always wanted to happen?"

"This Michael, Nicole is my wife."

"Tom, you should know that Link is a billionaire. Billionaires in the United States belong to the top class and enjoy certain privileges. If you want to bring down this kind of person, it is extremely difficult and you must be willing to invest costs. If it is capital, we need to invest hundreds of millions of dollars, or even more than a billion, but if we change it to a woman, things will become very simple and the effect will be very good. Tom, which is lighter and which is heavier, hundreds of millions of dollars or a woman, I think you should be clear."

Michael Ovitz coaxed him patiently.

"But Nicole is my wife."

"Tom, if this thing is successful, Guess Who Films goes bankrupt, Link leaves Hollywood in embarrassment, CAA and the Big Seven studios will definitely remember your sacrifice and contribution, and open all their resources to you. With the support of the Big Seven studios, you will be the number one in Hollywood at that time, and no one can threaten your position."

Michael Ovitz said.

Tom Cruise's hand holding the phone trembled, "Michael, I need to think about it again, you know, I love Nicole very much."

"Haha, I know, I know, I won't force you, you have plenty of time to consider this matter. Tom, remember, we are friends, no matter what decision you make, I will support you."

Michael Ovitz hung up the phone.

Tom Cruise sat on the sofa and fell into deep thought.

Click, click!

Nicole Kidman came down from upstairs wearing high heels and a Chanel white summer dress, carrying a Gucci small bag, with a tall and graceful figure, with curves in all the right places. The outline of her underwear was reflected on the dress, and at a glance, she was infinitely charming.

"Naomi asked me to have coffee, I'm going out."

Nicole Kidman said lightly.

"Nicole, wait!"

Tom Cruise took a deep breath, looked up at Nicole Kidman,

"Regarding the 'To Die For' project, I agree to you cooperating with Guess Who Films."
