"Hi, hello, Miss Kidman, I am Tom Cruise, you can call me Tommy, Wow, you are really beautiful, even more beautiful than in the movie, can I call you Nicole?" Eric is talking to Paula Wagner He heard the ardent voice of Tom Cruise behind him.

"Of course no problem, Mr. Cruise," Nicole's voice also sounded, with a slight alienation in his tone, but Cruise didn't seem to realize anything, and began to talk about other topics.

Paula Wagner smiled embarrassingly at Eric, and secretly blamed Cruise for its inappropriate behavior. Nicole Kidman is a female companion brought by Eric, and the relationship between the two is obvious.

Eric looked around and saw that Cruise was already sitting opposite Nicole and had to say to Paula Wagner: "So, Ms. Wagner, let's sit down."

"Okay, Eric, really ... sorry," Paula Wagner whispered apologetically.

"It's nothing," Eric said, and returned to the table to sit down and greet the waiter. Several people started to order.

"Nicole, the pan-fried foie gras here is very good, it is said that all the ingredients are directly shipped from France by air, I think you can come with a serving," Cruise looked through the menu for a while, and soon looked up and took Smile said to Nicole.

"Sorry, Mr. Cruise, I'm on a diet," Nicole shook his head gently, then ordered a salad to the waiter and closed the menu.

Cruise touched a soft nail, the smile on his face became lighter, but there was more interest in his eyes.

Eric and Paula Wagner also quickly finished ordering. After the waiter left, Cruise said without hesitation: "Sorry, Eric, I have seen script of" Ghost ". However, I and Paula's Production Studio The film that is being prepared is about to turn on soon, so I definitely ca n’t take over that character anymore. To be honest, I think it sounds stupid to play a ghost. And. I studied the whole script and found nothing What's the highlight, I suggest you better try another movie, such as second part of 《Running Out of Time》. Although I can't participate anymore, I believe that the success of Box Office is still certain with the popularity of first part. "

After hearing Cruise say this, Paula Wagner touched his forehead with one hand. Two gentle strokes on one side of the temple. Obviously, the old self-righteousness of Cruise has been committed again, completely forgetting her prior orders.

Nicole opened his mouth slightly when he heard this, and then picked up the juice in front of him without a trace, and leaned to his mouth, blocking the ridicule at the corner of his mouth.

Eric placed his hands on the dining table and crossed his arms constantly, listening to the words of Cruise with great interest. After the other party finished speaking, Eric looked at Cruise with great interest. Said: "In this case, Tommy, you invited me today. Is there anything?"

Paula Wagner was afraid that Tom Cruise would say anything out of date again, and quickly took over the question of Eric, saying: "Mr. Williams, Tommy is such a person, do n’t like to hide anything in your heart, so please do n’t mind. We think The script of "Ghost" is still very good, but the schedule of Tommy has been arranged, so this time it was not for cooperation. "

"Oh, then this time ..." Eric continued to ask.

Tom Cruise is about to speak. Feeling that the calf under the table was kicked, Cruise looked at Paula Wagner. Seeing that there was a faint expression on Paula Wagner's face, he shrugged slightly and closed his mouth.

See Tom Cruise and finally stop talking. Paula Wagner was relieved, and said to Eric: "This is it. Flower Films under Mr. Williams and Firefly has not acquired many novels and movies copyright since last year. There is a TV series named" Mission: Impossible ". If it can be transferred to us, we will definitely give a very reasonable price. "

Eric raised his eyebrows and asked curiously: "Ms. Wagner, how can you be interested in this TV series, if it is changed into a movie, this should be a spy war action film, which has the same screen image as Tom now? A big difference. "

Cruise heard Eric saying this, and immediately could n’t help but interject again: “Look, Paula, Eric also think so, so I think, do n’t mention it again. I ’ve said it before, I It is not suitable for this kind of pure action movie, that is the role they should play in Schwarzenegger or Stallone, I am more suitable for the drama movie, even if some action elements are mixed, it should be like the "Top Gun" a few years ago, and us Like the recent movie, the main storyline is Eric, should you think so? "

Eric smiled slightly and echoed: "Of course, I also think that Tommy is more suitable for narrative-led genre films. If you make a rash transition, the risks will be great."

The two men were so distracted that Paula Wagner did n’t know what to say, and there was a distressed look on his face. He looked helplessly at the side who got the approval, and then looked at his face again. With a light smile on Eric, I don't know why, she always feels that the smile on the corner of Eric's mouth is a bit strange.

Bypassing the original TV series of "Mission: Impossible", Eric quickly said: "Tommy, let's talk about the movies you are planning to make recently, I believe many fans will look forward to it very much."

"That's for sure," Tom Cruise immediately came to interest, but looked at the Nicole in front of him from time to time, and said: "Several years ago, when I and Paul Newman co-produced" The Nature of Money ", they had a problem with the car. Interested, so I always wanted a racing movie shoots. In the setting of script, the racing scene of this movie will be very grand and exciting, Paramount promised to invest 60 million USD in this movie, I believe that this movie is definitely Can create the Box Office brilliance of "Top Gun" in 86 years, yes, Nicole, there is just one Heroine missing in the movie. Do you want to try it? From the first sight, I think that you are very suitable for the role of Claire. "

Nicole heard the investment of this movie 60 million USD, and immediately took some actions, glanced at Eric, and after seeing the irresolute expression on the man's face, he tentatively asked: "Mr. Cruise, can you talk about this role in detail?"

"Of course, Claire is a doctor. The actor Cole met after a racing accident. Claire was quickly moved by Cole's strong and unyielding and fell in love with the actor ..."

Cruise said happily for seven or eight minutes, only to wait for the waiter to serve a few people for a few moments, only to reluctantly pause for a while, Nicole from time to time to follow the rhythm of Cruise a few sentences.

After listening to the conversation between a pair of men and women, Paula Wagner looked at the opposite Eric with anxiety. When he saw Eric casually enjoying the food in front of him, he was slightly relieved.

"Ms. Wagner, do you still hold Tom's manager?" Eric ignored the conversation between men and women, ate a few bites, and raised his head to ask Paula Wagner on the opposite side.

Paula Wagner did n’t know what Eric suddenly asked about this question, but he quickly replied: “No, I ’m now in charge of managing c / wProduction Studio, so Tommy changed to a new manager named Pat Kingsley.”

Eric sighed secretly. Tom Cruise was really lucky. Even if his stranger inserted into this time and space, two women who were very important to his career still appeared beside him.

Paula Wagner can be said to be the great benefactor of Tom Cruise. He directly brought Cruise from an unknown **** to the ranks of Hollywooda-level superstar, and then assisted Cruise to establish Production Studio, serving as Producer for a series of Cruise movies. It can be said that Cruise is half successful. The credit goes to Paula Wagner.

Then Cruise and Paula Wagner set up Cruise / Wagner Production Studio, Paula Wagner became the person in charge of Production Studio, and Cruise changed another manager Pat Kingsley. This woman manager also has excellent abilities, taking over the position of Paula Wagner and conscientiously managing the brokerage affairs of Cruise for up to 14 years. Although Cruise has produced a lot of things in more than ten years, it is also a mess in life. However, under the maintenance of Pat Kingsley, the public image of Cruise has been maintained flawlessly.

previous life Cruise and Nicole both had Pat Kingsley as their manager, but after Cruise and Nicole divorced, Cruise ’s own career was not much improved, but Nicole was soaring, not only successfully crowned Oscar, but also entered the 20 million Remuneration Club .

Under the extreme imbalance of Cruise, I randomly found an unfavorable excuse for Pat Kingsley public relations Oscar to fire this hard-working manager, and then playfully let my sister who has no professional experience as his own manager.

It did n’t take long for Cruise to taste the consequences of doing so. In the absence of a strong manager responsible for negotiating and taking care of the public image, a series of things came one after the other, the negotiations with Paramount broke down, the sofa jump event, faith Being attacked by the media, sex scandal and actress frequently appeared in tabloid newspaper. In just over a year, the public image of Cruise has plummeted, and the acting career has also been hit hard.

In the following years, under the disappointment of Paula Wagner, they also left Production Studio of Cruise. Subsequently, in addition to the "Mission: Impossible" series, the Cruise movie almost played a compensating one. For this reason, Cruise was in " The "Mission: Impossible" series is also not strong against Paramount Pictures, and the scene of getting a 75 million USD remuneration with a movie is gone forever.
