Heads Up Hollywood

Just like Tang En's previous assumption, things showed signs of unpredictable corruption.

The news that Tang En was investigated by the FBI and the assets of his company was frozen spread overnight.

"New York Times", "Chicago Post", "Los Angeles Times", "USA Today", "New York Daily News" and many other newspapers have published this heavy news.

This time, it was no longer the headline of the entertainment section, but the headline of the entire newspaper!

"Genius Director Suspected of Financial Fraud, Gaining Illegal Amounts of Up to 7 Billion Dollars!" "

"Angel? devil? Famous Hollywood director Don Walker is suspected of a major economic crime. "

"The FBI strikes hard, and the amazing director Dunn Walker falls from the shrine. "

"Asset Freeze! Outbound restrictions! Tang En will face at least 120 years in prison. "

"conspiracy? There is another mystery behind the Nasdaq stock market crash, and Dunn Walker is duty-bound. "

"The higher you stand, the harder you fall, Tang En was investigated by the FBI! "

...

Crazy reports, almost all the media, newspapers, and TV stations in the United States are paying close attention to this most sensational blockbuster news today.

In particular, the ABC Group under Disney and the Fox Network under 20th Century Fox reported overwhelmingly, even more exaggerated than when the scandals about Mr. President and Mr. Richest Man broke out last year.

The former is just a moral condemnation, while the latter is a crime!

Outside Tang En Films, there were countless reporters, and even the ABC Group specially dispatched a helicopter to report Tang En's investigation and evidence collection process of this major crime from a high-altitude diving perspective.

This is an unprecedented publicity campaign. Although Dunn Walker's name has repeatedly appeared in various headlines in the past few years, it is far less famous than it is now.

Tang En has become the only topic of discussion in the entire United States right now!

Hollywood, famous director, $7 billion, economic crime, boyfriend of Natalie Portman, rumored boyfriend of Nicole Kidman, Kate Winslet and other famous movie stars...

Every report is a topic of hot discussion after dinner.

The entire Tang En film industry was in panic.

Tang En sat in his office with a gloomy face, like a lion who could not vent his overwhelming anger. Even the most caring female secretary, Ella Fisher, was by her side carefully, with an air of grandeur. I dare not breathe.

"Is there no news from Brian?"

Tang En stood by the window, his eyes flashed suddenly, and only then did he realize that there was a helicopter hanging above his head. He was so angry that he directly closed the curtains.

Ira Fisher said: "Mr. Lord is actively contacting the White House, and Mr. McNick has also filed a lawsuit with the court through the legal department, demanding that the FBI's restrictions on us be lifted immediately."

"Damn it, in a society ruled by law, without court authorization, how can the FBI freeze my assets?" Dunn gritted his teeth angrily.

Ella Fisher paused for a moment, and said in a squeak: "Tang En, there is one more thing, do you want to..."

Tang En waved his hands, "In the past two days, haven't I heard too much bad news? Tell me, what happened again?"

Isla Fisher's face showed a bit of anger, "It's "The Chronicles of Narnia", Jerry Bruckheimer withdrew from this project."

"Um?"

"He said that his production company had a priority cooperation agreement with Disney, and Disney had a new project called "Pearl Harbor", and he had to withdraw."

"Fart!" Tang En slapped the table angrily, "The project of "Pearl Harbor" has already been approved, and the movie is now being filmed. He is talking about this with me?"

Isla Fisher gasped: "Disney must be behind it!"

There was a hint of coldness at the corner of Tang En's mouth, "It's true that Disney gave orders behind his back, but Jerry Bruckheimer's current status doesn't matter at all. Since he made such a choice, it's obvious that he's making trouble!"

"What a bastard!" Isla Fisher stomped angrily, "I should have written it clearly in the contract with him in the first place, and asked him to pay huge liquidated damages."

Tang En said lightly: "That's fine, you can see clearly whether you are an enemy or a friend. Jerry Bruckheimer? Hehe, it's okay!"

At this moment, Reese Witherspoon, another secretary of Tang En, rushed in with joy, "Dang En, someone has spoken for us!"

She was filming in MGM's comedy "Legally Blonde". Because Tang En Pictures encountered a crisis, she asked for leave and came back to tide over the difficulties with the company, which made the whole company like this sweet sister very much.

"Oh? Who?"

"It's Mel Gibson!"

Reese's face was a little rosy, and she said happily: "Just now, Mr. Gibson accepted an exclusive interview with CBS TV station, and he firmly expressed his support for Dunn Films. He also said that you are a good person who abides by the law. I will not do anything illegal, and some irresponsible remarks in the media are all slander!"

As an Australian, Isla Fisher also felt proud on her face, "Mel is a good brother, I knew it, he is the most loyal!"

Tang En took a deep breath and nodded heavily.

It is not the first time he has seen Mel Gibson's loyalty.

Right now, the entire United States is watching the joke of Tang En Pictures. It was Mel Gibson who stepped forward and took the lead in standing for Tang En, and even raised the "suspected defamation" remarks.

Tang En remembered this kindness.

In any case, Tang En will definitely try to stop Mel Gibson's tragic experience in his previous life and save his fate!

At this moment, Tang En's personal cell phone rang, and it was Brian Lord calling.

"How's the situation?" Tang En's voice was a bit heavy.

On the other hand, Brian Lord was very relaxed, and there was even a hint of a smile in his tone, "Tang En, I have lived for more than forty years, and I have only realized a big truth today. Suffering is a blessing!"

Tang En said bitterly: "It's a blessing to suffer? I'd rather not eat the blessing right now!"

"No, no, no, I'm talking about another thing." Brian Lord changed the subject, "I'm talking about you being teased by the accounting firm in the past few years."

Tang En said angrily: "What's more, I just realized now that the accounting firm and the taxation department are both related. The higher the taxes they pay, the more tax refunds they get. Isn't this collusion between the government and businessmen to cheat customers out of their money? No wonder the richest people and big companies hire special tax teams, there are too many tricks!"

"Haha, so to put it bluntly, it's a blessing to suffer!" Brian Lord seemed to like Tang En's angry look very much. Since the two met, Tang En has always been sunny, confident, steady and calm, rarely like this Such a gaffe.

Tang En frowned, "Okay, tell me quickly, what's going on?"

Brian Lord lowered his voice, "I just came back from the White House, Mr. President looked at your tax records for the past three years, he was shocked!"

"Shocked? Are you laughing at my stupidity?" Tang En laughed at himself, and then his eyes lit up, revealing some surprise, "Bryan, you mean...Mr. President is shocked?"

Brian Lord laughed and said: "Yeah, anyone who reads your tax return will definitely be surprised, personal income tax, honestly paid 48.3%, corporate income tax, honestly paid 43.84%. Tang En, there is no other American citizen like you who abides by the law and actively pays taxes!"

"Ha ha!"

Tang En laughed out loud, and the tears came out from the laughter.

He was ignorant before, and he was cheated miserably by the tax company, and he paid a lot of taxes. The pain seemed to be bleeding in his heart.

Unexpectedly, the twists and turns, his tax returns in the past few years have become the best proof that he abides by the law and loves the country!

No wonder Brian said that suffering is a blessing, and it is true.

If Tang En hadn't paid so much tax before, he would have to spend some more troubles if he wanted to tide over the current difficulties.

Now, his good image of actively paying taxes and abiding by laws and regulations is highly recognized by the White House. This farce can come to an end, right?

Tang En's mood was like seeing the sun after the clouds, "Bryan, when will the assets freezing and export restrictions be withdrawn?"

Brian Lord said solemnly: "Twain, you have played too much in the stock market this time, and the whole Wall Street has suffered miserably, but you have made billions as a filmmaker, and any regulatory agency will pay attention. However, your tax records have left a good impression on the White House, as long as the investigation results show that there are no other forces behind you and your background is clean, the ban will be lifted. At the same time, the White House will give you an explanation."

"What time?"

"It's only two or three days. The White House doesn't like the current situation."

Tang En breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, I can rest assured, Brian, thank you for your hard work."

"What's the matter, it's my job." Brian Lord smiled and lowered his voice, "It's time for you to move, your personal image must not be damaged."

"I know!"

Tang En hung up the phone, squinted his eyes, pondered for a long time, and then said: "Ella, tell Bill to start negotiations with Starz TV station immediately, and hurry up the acquisition. Reese, contact the president of Warner Brothers, Mr. Alan Horn, I'm going to talk to him."

Reese Witherspoon's eyes widened in a flash of doubt.

Tang En smiled, "Let's say that there is something wrong with the "The Chronicles of Narnia" project, and ask him if he is interested in cooperating with Tang En Pictures to jointly develop this series."

Right now, Fox's parent company, News Corp., and Disney's ABC Television Network are the ones who are the most hyped about Twain in the United States. Time Warner is very calm.

At this time, Tang En didn't mind giving up part of the benefits of "The Chronicles of Narnia", sharing it with Warner, forming an alliance, and completing the final Jedi counterattack.

Anyway, the reason Tang En hastily set up the project "The Chronicles of Narnia" was to serve as cannon fodder for "Harry Potter" and cut off Warner's idea of ​​"priority cooperation".

Now, it's just a little earlier.
