Chapter 91
Scarlett Johansson stayed at the Warwick Hotel, also in Queens, New York, not far from the Hilton Hotel where Martin stayed.
When Scarlett returned to the hotel room, her mother Melanie Lohan was sitting on the sofa watching TV, but it looked like her mind was not on TV, but waiting for her
"How was today's date?"
Seeing Scarlett back safely, Melanie breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked curiously
"very nice!"Scarlett smiled and lay down on the sofa, kicked off her shoes, revealing her white and tender feet.
"Have you told Martin about"American Rhapsody"?"
"I did, but I didn’t ask him for help."
"Why, didn’t mom tell you before you went that with Martin’s current connections, he would probably be able to help you!"
"Mom, I don’t want this date to go bad."
"Uh, you stupid kid, okay, okay, whatever you want. But you have to find a way to win"Ghost World". The long window period will have a great impact on young actors.-"
"I know mom!"
At this moment, Scarlett's cell phone buzzed.
Scarlett picked it up and looked at it, and immediately smiled,"Mom, it's Martin's message."
"Oh, how long have they been separated before you send a message? It seems that Martin cares about you very much. Please open it and see what is written?"
"Hehe, I know!"
Scarlett clicked on the message with a smile and looked at it. She was stunned for a moment, and then burst into a burst of excited screams.
Martin sent a line:"Scarlett, that role is yours, and it will be tomorrow at the latest. Someone will notify you to sign the contract"
"Ahhhhh, mom, it's Martin. Martin helped me get that role. I can play"American Rhapsody""
"Really?!"
Seeing her daughter's excitement, Melanie was also pleasantly surprised.
……
In the car, Martin put down his cell phone with a smile, and he could imagine in his mind what kind of excited expression Scarlett must have at this time.
He was also very happy to be able to help the girl.
Of course, it is also necessary to inform the girl that she is helping, so that Scarlett will not misunderstand anything.
There is no such thing as"doing good deeds anonymously" in the United States. In the eyes of Americans, if you do good deeds, you must let the other party know, otherwise you will not be a fool!
(PS: In the author's opinion, doing good deeds without leaving one's name can be an individual's self-restraint, and should not be a moral code promoted by society. We should vigorously publicize good people and good deeds, without material rewards, at least give them reputation. rewards, so as to encourage more people to do good deeds.)
Then Martin pondered the relationship between Cruise, Paramount and Shirley Lansing.
To be honest, Martin is also coveting the contract between Tom Cruise's Cruise Pictures and Paramount.
Regardless of whether there are some potential deals between Shirley Lansing and Cruise, the biggest prerequisite for signing such an agreement is that you must have a series that can guarantee a box office hit. Movie.
If you don’t have enough chips, those major movie studios won’t even care about you!
Let's take Tom Cruise as an example. Although his cooperation with Paramount has been terminated, he has the"Mission: Impossible" series in hand and has no worries about finding a new partner. United Artists and Merrill Lynch have already opened their arms to him.
Tom Cruise has also opened another door for other Hollywood stars, letting them know that they can be on an equal footing with movie companies and participate in what is commonly known in the industry as"back-end profits."
Of course, Martin also wants to share the cake at the dinner table, so he must have one or several series of movies that can sell well before he can have the confidence to negotiate with those big companies.
Even though Martin possesses the"charm spell" of the succubus, he is not the same person who has lived in the land of gods and demons for thousands of years.
With his current magic power, it would be too difficult to change a person's personality, outlook, and behavioral habits out of thin air.
So the best way is to"guide" and go with the flow!
Naturally, the higher the stakes on your side, the easier it will be to guide.
Paramount is Martin's first choice, because this company has been opened up by Tom Cruise. No matter what means Cruise uses or what he exchanges, for the first time, this company It will be easier psychologically to hand over the second time...
Martin silently thought about Shirley Lansing in the car.
This woman is not a simple character. Don't think that because she gave up so much benefit to Tom Cruise, you should think that she is a big fool or a pervert who can't walk around when she sees a handsome guy.
During the period from 1994 to 2004 when Shirley Lansing was the president of Paramount, this strong-armed woman brought Paramount into another period of prosperity.
During her reign, she led the production of Braveheart》、《Forrest Gump》、《Titanic" (co-financed with 20th Century Fox)、《Mission: Impossible》、《Change face》、《The Truman Show" and"Saving Private Ryan" are blockbuster movies.
This woman has an extremely strong personality, and even Redondo had a hard time interfering with her during her time at Paramount.
This woman once said this:"In Hollywood, if a woman wants to succeed, she needs to work ten times a hundred times harder than a man, so I must be as hard as a rock to crush those doubts."
Paramount President The seat is not that easy to sit in. I don’t know how many people are staring at the position under Shirley Lansing’s butt. Therefore, Shirley Lansing must be tougher, tougher than those male executives, in order to suppress those who are suspicious, jealous, and jealous. conspiracy!

So the question is, how did Tom Cruise get this woman?
Really"sleeping" clothes?
It can't be that simple.
As a woman at the top of the Hollywood pyramid, Shirley Lansing has slept with countless male stars, but only one, Tom Cruise, has received such treatment.
Obviously, even if he"sleeps","sleep" is only one of the exchange conditions.
So what else?
Martin thought about it, and the only one was"Mission: Impossible."
You know, Paramount is the least good at developing series of movies among the major Hollywood companies.
Before"Mission Impossible", there was only one movie series called"Star Trek".
After"Mission: Impossible", it seems that there is only the"Tomb Raider" series that is more popular.
Maybe he can prepare two series of movies as bargaining chips...
After all, Martin doesn't want to sleep with an old woman.
Although Shirley Lansing was once a great beauty.
Perhaps when Tom Cruise became her bed partner, Shirley Lansing, who was only in her forties, was still charming and could still drink.
But white girls age quickly.
Now, Shirley Lansing, who was born in 1944, has entered her fifties. The folds on her face that cannot be covered by heavy makeup can trap mosquitoes. With Martin's aesthetics, it is absolutely impossible to feed wolves with her body. of.
Hahaha, I wonder if Tom Cruise still maintains that kind of relationship with Shirley Lansing?
Martin shook his head quickly, it hurt his eyes just thinking about it.
Forget it, I’d better prepare more chips!
It's just a series of movies,"Twilight" is one set, and there's another set……《"Death is Coming"?
No, the filming of this movie has already started and it’s late. or……《"Saw"?!
