Hollywood legendary director

Since you want to invite, you naturally need someone you know to go.

Warner's management still had a good idea about this matter, and made arrangements in a very short period of time and selected candidates.

Relationships, favors, both are suitable.

Moreover, the identity of the person who invited was somewhat unexpected, at least Lehman did not expect it.

Anyway, when he was at the reception, he felt that there was nothing wrong with Tom Cruise asking him to eat.

......

The evening breeze is cool, inside a luxury car.

Tom Cruise was sitting in the driver's seat, driving the car while chatting, "I will trouble you during those days."

"What's wrong with this, if I want to say it, it's just that some people are jealous, and you happen to be unlucky." In the back seat, Lehman softly explained.

"I would like to say thank you for being able to participate in "Bad Guy". The results are still so good now, which is very helpful to me."

"Oh, why do you say this? If you want to do this, don't I have to thank you. I have worked together once, are you still alive?"

"Yes." Tom Cruise laughed: "Then we thank each other."

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

Lehman felt weird. He looked at him in the rearview mirror and asked with a smile, "I said, why did you invite me to dinner on a whim last night? You came all the way to pick me up?"

Tom Cruise continued to drive the car steadily, without speaking.

Seeing him like this, Lehman was a little sure, and asked: "Did you want to find me for something? Just say it, hesitating like an old lady."

"The day before yesterday, a friend of mine came over and said that there was something to trouble me for help."

Lehman became more certain that Tom Cruise might have asked him, "What then?"

"He is the management of Warner Bros...."

"Wait. What?" Lehman asked in surprise: "Why did the people at Warner ask you for?"

"I have worked with them before, and it's a good relationship. This matter, I don't think it hurts you, so I didn't refuse."

"Why do you involve me again."

"It's because of you, they want to cooperate with you."

"For them, isn't it better?"

"Last time they looked for it, didn't you shirk it. They wanted to try again and talk in person, so they came to me." Tom Cruise was a little embarrassed, "To put it bluntly, I invite you today. Yes, it's not me, it's from Warner. I'm just helping."

The words are open and easy.

After all, Warner's people asked him to help, and he was not good at rejecting it.

The face of such a big company is still to be given. Brother Tom is not stupid, and his emotional intelligence is not bad at all.

If it's bad, it won't reach the status it is today.

"It seems that there is a movie project and I want you to direct it." Tom Cruise said again.

Lehman paused and asked, "What project?"

"I don't know this anymore. They will naturally talk to you when they arrive."

The car continued to drive and came to a restaurant called "Melissa".

This is a French restaurant that also serves the world’s top wines.

It was voted "Top 40 Best Restaurants in America" ​​by Gayot, and is located high up in a building close to Santa Monica Beach.

Most of the tables and suites are set up on the side close to the sea, so that guests can enjoy the sea view.

And the reason for saying so much is because this restaurant can be said to be a kind of vanity fair that considers social status and status in another way.

I don't have any strength, I can't even pass the appointment.

As for the other party's place for dinner here, you can also look at the other party's sincerity and attention-this is a restaurant led by a French chef.

As the night in Los Angeles was getting dark near eight o'clock, Tom Cruise parked the pure black Cadillac slowly and handed the key to the parking waiter who was walking quickly.

Lyman also got out of the car and followed Tom into the restaurant.

The space inside is large, but there are not many guests dining, and there is a large area in the middle for private communication.

The service foreman on the porch saw a new guest coming in and immediately greeted him.

"Good evening, sir." Julie Mia raised her head and looked at the two men in front of her.

The face of Tom Cruise was familiar to her, but the one next to him was a little strange.

She quickly searched the information database in her mind, combined with the identity of Tom Cruise, and immediately found the corresponding name.

"Lyman Rattles, a Frenchman, a rising director in Hollywood, all of the successive films have been a big success." Thinking of this, Julie leaned politely and stretched out her right hand. "Two, Please come with me, Mr. Meyer has arrived."

Walking along the carpet, you can hear the sound of piano vaguely.

After a while, Julie stayed in front of a box, stopped, turned around, smiled and said: "Mr. Rats, Mr. Cruise."-indicating that they have reached their destination.

She knocked on the door again, pulled it away, and Lyman and Tom walked in.

There was already a person sitting inside, and he looked familiar.It seems to be the CEO of Warner Bros. What is it called?

forgotten.Indeed, Lyman doesn't often greet these people, how can I remember it so clearly.

At this moment, Tom Cruise did not choose to stay, and greeted the man slightly. It seemed that the relationship between them was very good. He patted Lehman on the shoulder again, and left without saying anything. .

The huge box suddenly quieted down.

"Director Lyman, please sit down."

The man stood up, revealing a fat beer belly.

"It's really flattering to invite me so much." Lyman was not polite, and sat opposite him.

"We don’t want to be like this either, but the phone calls and those appointments have never worked, which is a bit helpless. Sorry to let you down. You seem to want to have dinner with Tom Cruise. Instead of me..." the other party spread his hands, with a joking smile on his face.

Lehman's face turned red when he said this.This is really his problem.

As early as the "Three Fools Haunted Bollywood" was released with good results, he always received invitations from many film companies, which made him so annoying, and then simply handed it to the agent to deal with it-he finally I understand why CAA has to arrange a special agent who is responsible for answering calls. Sometimes, dozens of calls come in a day without a dedicated person to handle it.

And his instructions are also very simple, unification is perfunctory and polite, don't bother him anyway.

After all, if he really had a project to collaborate with other people, he would not use this form.

However, after repeated attempts to invite no results, Warner would choose to let acquaintances serve as contacts.It also took great pains.
