The Wolf of Los Angeles.
Chapter 216 Not an ordinary person
After signing the agreement, Tom Cruise handed over the information he brought to Hawke.
It's all about Pat Kingsley and Nicole Kidman.
When a former couple who have fallen out with each other start attacking each other, there is no love left for them.
Hawke took the information, handed it to Edward, and said, "We must first deal with the people who are behind you, and then change public opinion. Otherwise, the effect of our public relations will be greatly reduced."
Compared to Nicole Kidman, Tom Cruise hates Kingsley to the extreme: "It's better to let her be completely finished."
Hawke couldn't promise, and said, "Let me get her information first."
"I'll wait for your good news." Tom Cruise stopped disturbing him.
Hawke reminded: "Go back through the company's side door the same way you came."
Edward made a phone call and said, "The security team has been monitoring the side door. There is nothing going on over there."
Tom Cruise nodded and went downstairs with his lawyer.
Hawke sat down, calmed down and read the information carefully.
Needless to say, Nicole Kidman lived entirely under the protection of Tom Cruise in her first ten years after arriving in Hollywood.
The couple's public crisis began during the filming of Stanley Kubrick's "Eyes Wide Shut." There were many rumors about the film, and later there were rumors that Kubrick died before completing the film, which was also related to the content of the film.
Hawke remembers very clearly that when he first watched the film, he was completely attracted by Nicole Kidman's large-scale scenes. He felt that the content of the film was dull and boring, and basically only watched certain scenes.
But later, as the Hollywood filter broke down and more and more scandals broke out about this circle and in North America, I thought back on Kubrick's film and found it to have a special meaning.
Shortly after the release of Eyes Wide Shut, Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise had a public falling out and divorced.
The former had no thighs and turned around to hug a fat man. With the support of Harvey Weinstein, Nicole Kidman won the Oscar for Best Actress in the last Oscars.
This kind of public figure is still protected by some bigwigs, so it's a bit troublesome to deal with him.
Hawke put Nicole Kidman's information aside for the moment and looked at Pat Kingsley's.
The latter was a public relations manager and once served as a senior partner and director of PMK Public Relations Company. He later joined CAA and started full cooperation with it, and is also one of its senior partners.
With a broker's license and a traditional senior public relations manager background, 70-year-old Kingsley is not easy to deal with.
It would be very troublesome to fight a simple war of public opinion and media with such a person, so Hawke would not choose this path. After all, the other party entered Hollywood in the late 1950s.
On the surface, there isn't a big problem on Jinsley's side. The things that can be made a fuss about are all things that happened 20 or 30 years ago, such as her husband cheating on her, but the time interval is too long.
Then there are the immediate family members. Kingsley’s husband is Simon Foster, and they have a son and a daughter. The daughter is married and works in New York, and the son is 30 years old and currently single.
Hawke looked through it carefully. These were all very common information. Tom Cruise was a big star, and he didn't know much about anything other than Kingsley's work.
Fortunately, Jinsli and her family were each provided with multiple photos.
Hawke collected the information, called Edward, and said, "Give these to Campos, and ask him to investigate this family. As usual, don't alarm them."
Edward took the information and put it in his bag, took out his cell phone and called Campos, then left.
Hawke collected Nicole Kidman's information. If things went well for Kingsley, there was no need to worry about her. As long as she had a bit of brains, she would be able to be safe for a while.
As for the curse of the Oscar-winning actress, she will fall off the list in two years at most, and one medium or large-scale film project after another will fail miserably, and she may even be able to only play supporting roles. By then, Tom Cruise will no longer be a demon who restricts her personal freedom in her mouth, but the love of her life.
As an actor, making money is not shameful.
Hawke went to the window, looking out at Venice Beach in the distance, and pondered his next step after Kingsley.
The so-called gay rumors are easy to resolve. Just find a woman to date or get engaged.
What Tom Cruise is most criticized for is undoubtedly his faith issue.
When faith is involved, things can get a little troublesome.
Hawke never thought of persuading Tom Cruise to give up Scientology. That is obviously impossible. Tom Cruise is now a senior figure in Scientology. In a sense, it is in his own interest to promote Scientology.
The best way is to create another sensational incident to divert public opinion and attention.
Moreover, Tom Cruise has a huge appeal, and it would be best if he could use it to promote Twitter.
Hawke sat back in front of the computer, tapping away on the keyboard, preparing to write a plan.
He tapped away at the keyboard for a while and called Caroline.
In less than three minutes, Miss Mee came in wearing red high heels, making the sound of sheep's hooves stepping on the floor.
Hawke asked directly: "Do you know Pat Kingsley?"
The boss was not PUA and started asking questions right away, which made Caroline a little uncomfortable.
Before coming here, she took a minute to touch up her makeup and put on a professional suit. The boss didn't play by the rules, and Caroline had no choice but to pull out a chair and sit down, saying, "She can be considered one of the pioneers of Hollywood entertainment public relations. Rooney Chasen, who has a lot of experience, entered the industry at least 30 years later than her, but her problems are similar to Rooney and me. Her public relations tend to be traditional, and she is also more conservative."
Hawke nodded and asked again: "Do you know her privacy?"
"I don't know." Caroline shook her head: "There is a huge difference between me and her. I can't get in touch with her."
She added: "I can ask around."
Hawke raised his hand to interrupt her: "Can you promise not to alarm her?"
Caroline said honestly: "She has too many connections in this circle. I'm not sure."
Hawke said, "Then don't make any moves, just leave it at that."
"Okay." Caroline responded.
Hawke waved his hand, ready to let her go.
The phone rang at this time. Hawke picked up the phone and saw that it was Quentin calling. After answering the call, he said, "Hello, Mr. Director."
A hearty laugh rang out over there: "Hello, Hawke, do you remember what we talked about yesterday about cooperation? About the promotion of Kill Bill?"
Hawke said, "Of course I remember, you can come over anytime."
"I won't go over. I'm not an expert in this area." Quentin added, "I'll let Parker, who is in charge of publicity for the studio, go over. He will represent the crew."
Hawke responded, "Okay."
The two chatted for a while and then hung up the phone.
Hawke told Caroline about this: "You will be responsible for negotiating the cooperation, and the charging standard will be the same as Yahoo."
Caroline is confident: "We have as many active users as Yahoo."
Less than an hour later, Parker, a representative from the "Kill Bill" crew, rushed to the Twitter building and started discussing advertising cooperation with Twitter's operations director Caroline.
Eventually, the two sides finalized an advertising deal worth $100 million.
In terms of revenue, Twitter now has other sources of income besides the copyright fees from Will Smith and Kobe Bryant.
The next morning, Caroline brought Hawke another good news: the $2000 million loan in the governor's economic development plan had arrived.
Although funds must be used for their intended purposes, Twitter's cash pool has become abundant again, which has solved the urgent problem and will allow Twitter to more easily prepare for financing and share expansion in the second half of the year.
In addition to his busy work, Hawke specially organized Twitter employees to take two weekday afternoons to go to the cinema to watch "Dark Night Journey".
It can also be regarded as a support for friends.
The market response to Eric's movie was much better than his previous one, and it also made some noise at the end of the summer season at the end of July.
The film was distributed by Warner Bros., Castle Rock's parent company, and opened in 2347 theaters in North America, taking in $2151 million in its first three days over the weekend. Although it did not achieve a single-theater box office of over $ over the weekend, it was a pretty good result for a new director's first theatrical film.
Moreover, the reputation of "Dark Night Journey" is pretty good, with a 72% freshness rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a score of 7.4 on IMDB, which are enough to ensure that the film will have good revenue in the future.
Warner's internal estimates put the film's North American box office at around $5000 million.
There is no doubt that Eric Eason achieved critical success and earned the opportunity for the next work.
Hawke is still trying to find a way to deal with Tom Cruise. Tom Cruise's film company has officially contacted Eric, preparing to invest in his new film and even wants him to play the leading role.
Eric and Catherine are very positive about this. Being able to work with the famous Tom Cruise is undoubtedly an opportunity to soar to fame.
Tom Cruise's works have a great appeal all over the world.
In addition, Jacqueline also called Hawke specifically. Eric has made it clear that he will reserve an audition opportunity for her for the supporting actress role in the new film and asked her to further improve her acting skills.
This part-time actress works really hard, using the money she earns at night to take acting classes during the day.
Hollywood is indeed full of all kinds of perverted deals, but those who can make it in this era still have basic acting skills guaranteed.
After all, it is not yet the era of chaos and disorder that will come later.
On Campos' side, the investigation into Pat Kingsley has not yielded any results so far.
A woman who can give Tom Cruise a headache is no ordinary person.
It was at this time that Hawke received a call from Emma Bateson of the Bay Area consulting firm.
The latter has been in touch with Hawke from time to time since their first contact, showing BlackRock's San Francisco company's strong interest in investing in Twitter.
This time, she came with a preliminary plan.
(I have been so unlucky recently. I got rid of my cold and fever after taking an IV drip, but now I have an allergic reaction to the medicine and have a rash all over my body. I am so itchy at night that I can’t sleep. I will go to the hospital soon.) (End of this chapter)
