After a week of going through the process, the loan that Dunn needed finally arrived.
Among them, Dunn personally took a 15% share of the global box office of "Star Wars Episode 1" and successfully borrowed 100 million US dollars, with a term of one year and an annual interest rate of 10%.
Dunn Pictures obtained a $30 million loan through "My Great Greek Wedding" and a $20 million loan for "Wedding Cracker", both with a one-year term and an annual interest rate of 8%.
Because the venture capital organization seriously underestimated the future income of "Wedding Crashers", Fox Films advanced another 20 million US dollars for Dunn Films.
Then Dunn lent his 100 million US dollars to Dunn Films, making the cash flow controlled by Dunn Films directly reached 170 million US dollars!
At the same time, Dunn Pictures and Marvel Pictures officially announced to the whole society that the "Spider-Man" movie project has been launched, and the investment will reach an astonishing 150 million US dollars.
At the same time, Dunn Pictures is also secretly cooperating with CAA, Germany has contacted Constantine Pictures, and the United Kingdom has contacted Shengri Pictures to reach cooperation on the tax rebate policy.
It is estimated that it will take one and a half months.
Since the Oscars, Dunn has been running a loan for the cost of "Spider-Man". After two and a half months of hard work, he finally achieved his goal.
Not only that, he also overfulfilled the task. After getting tax rebates from the UK and Germany, he even secured the investment for "Beautiful Mind" in the second half of the year.
Such a big problem can be solved calmly, Tang En has more confidence in the future development.
……
On Thursday, June 3, as "Star Wars: Episode 1: The Ghost Men Menace" dropped below $8 million in a single day, Dunn and Shirley Hirschler had a formal conversation.
Shirley Hirschler is very scheming, greedy for the powerful, and hopes to rely on her daughter to live a better life.
However, no parent can bear to have their children live so badly.
Dunn didn't even have to say much, Shirley Hirschler immediately understood what he meant.
"Yeah, I also know, I don't know much about movies. I used to be an accountant in a law firm in Israel. When I came back to the United States, I was worried that Nat would be bullied in Hollywood, so I switched to an agent. people."
Shirley Hirschler can see that Dunn attaches great importance to her daughter. If he really just plays casually like he treats those female stars, he doesn't need to be so troublesome.
With Dunn paving the way for her daughter's future, Shirley Hirschler naturally raised her hands in approval.
"Nate will be 18 years old soon. She is a big girl. I think she needs an independent space." Dunn was earnest. He was really thinking about Natalie's future, not marrying in France, but also thinking about Natalie's future. Take your mother to live with you.
"Hollywood...it's so messy, especially for some girls." Shirley Hirschler sighed, "our family believes in Judaism, and Nat became famous very early, I'm afraid she looks like Drew Barrymore. That's depraved, so the discipline is stricter. To be honest, you're the first boy she's ever dated."
Dunn can understand her very well, "I understand, Hollywood... With me, no one dares to bully Nate. She is a star, and when she enters university, I will arrange for someone to protect her secretly."
"That's great."
Shirley Hirschler looked a little desolate, her daughter's future was guaranteed, but she lost her job as a broker, and her daughter has independent financial rights when she becomes an adult. Where is her source of income?
Tang En took a deep look at her and said with a smile, "Mrs. Hushler, I heard from you just now... What financial work did you do in the past?"
"I also know some legal knowledge."
"The scale of Tang En Films is getting bigger and bigger, but there has never been an independent financial department, and the financial power is in my sole control. You know, I am a director, and I usually study movies, and my energy is limited."
Shirley Hirschler's eyes lit up instantly, she finally understood what Dunn meant, "Do you need my help?"
Tang En said with a smile, "Thank you so much! Financial work really needs a master who is good at communication and knowledgeable about the law. Of course, the most important point is that you have my trust."
"You believe me?"
"Of course, you are Nat's mother, we will be a family sooner or later."
Dunn's word "family" came into Shirley Hirschler's heart, not to mention the joy.
……
Natalie's brokerage contract is with the WMA brokerage company, but she is a minor and the contract is not binding. CAA only spent $30,000 to buy out her brokerage contract.
Hilda Querry was so excited that she wanted to dance.
She never imagined that when she was on the set of "Titanic", a studio assistant who was kicked out by Kate Winslet's underwear for molesting would become her professional celebrity.
Dunn pushed Kate Winslet to the throne of the Oscar-winning actress, directly establishing her status as a big-name agent in the CAA agency.
But I didn't expect it, and then there were many surprises!
Reese Witherspoon, a very inconspicuous little person, suddenly became Dunn's secretary.
With Dunn's strong backing, will Reese's future starship be bad? Dunn Pictures even directly made a movie "Wedding Prodigy", making her the first heroine in her life.
And then... it was a surprise like a nuclear bomb.
Dunn gave her the top actress in Hollywood, Nicole Kidman!
A few years ago, Hilda Querrey was Pat Kingsley's sidekick, the ace agent to look up to.
Unexpectedly, if Dunn didn't make a move, he made an amazing move. He dismantled Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, a pair of golden boys and girls, and then sent Nicole to her.
What's the difference between this and sending money?
No, it's more exaggerated than giving money, it contains status!
Last year, UTA brokerage company poached agent Tracy Jacobs from CAA brokerage company and directly gave her the position of executive.
Why?
Because Tracy Jacobs has Johnny Depp in his hands!
Dunn's behavior of giving Nicole Kidman to her is equivalent to pushing Hilda Querrey to the throne of the CAA agency executive.
Of course, the board of directors did not appoint him in order to take into account Pat Kingsley's face.
But it doesn't matter, Dunn went on to give a big gift!
The next target is Natalie Portman, the heroine of the most popular and popular movie "Star Wars Episode 1: The Menace of the Ghost Man".
Hilda Quelli was so happy that she was going crazy. When she heard the news from Brian Lord, she was dizzy.
Natalie's current status is not high, and she has just stepped into the second-tier.
But what is her identity?
Dunn Walker's girlfriend!
With Dunn's driving force behind it, let alone the first line, it is not too much to become an list superstar like Tom Cruise and Mel Gibson!
Natalie is a treasure trove with unlimited potential!
Hilda Querrey seems to have seen that inside the CAA, she is on an equal footing with Brian Lord.
For Dunn Walker, the unknown benefactor behind her, she naturally wanted to pay a visit to express her gratitude.
Hilda Quelli came to Dunn Pictures with a humble attitude. When she saw Dunn, she was even more in awe than the staff of Dunn Pictures.
Dunn said with a smile, "Hilda, we've known each other for a long time. You're welcome, right?"
Dunn has great respect for Hilda Querrey.
Looking at the whole of Hollywood, Hilda Querrey is the best among female agents, except for Nancy Josephson, who made Julia Roberts and Cameron Diaz popular.
She brought out three Oscar winners, Cate Winslet, Cate Blanchett, and Reese Witherspoon, as well as Marion Cotillard, Jessica Chastain, Michelle Well-known actresses such as Bill Williams.
Dunn handed Nicole Kidman and Natalie Portman to her one after another, not because of friendship.
"Director Walker..."
"Call me Dunn!"
"Well, Dunn, I really don't know what to say, thank you so much!" Hilda Queri was a little incoherent.
"Don't get excited, sit down and say." Dunn waved his hand and pointed to the sofa, "Hilda, you know, Nat is my girlfriend, I have great expectations for her, do you understand what I mean? "
"Understood, I will definitely give her the best treatment, and she will give priority to all scripts!"
Hilda Quelli was helped by Mrs. Dunn, and she would definitely reciprocate.
Tang En shook his head, "That's not necessary, Nat won't be short of money, I don't want her to be too tired~www.novelhall.com~ So my request is very simple, Nat's film appointments must be less and better! Art films must be taken Awards, at least Oscar nominations; commercial films, comedy or sci-fi, must be a big hit at the box office!"
"This……"
Rao is because Hilda Queri is very capable, and also thinks Dunn's request is too outrageous.
Dunn smiled, "I know, in your opinion, my idea may be too much. I just don't want to see someone use Natalie Portman's gimmicks to make bad movies to make money, which will affect her. Image, she is a clear stream."
"I understand that in this regard, I will strictly check, some low-end advertisements, I will directly refuse. It's just the movie... I'm sorry, Dunn, no one can guarantee it." Hilda Queli was worried.
Tang En was very relaxed and said with a smile: "It's very simple, you need to discuss with me about Nat's film appointment in advance. She can only make movies that I approve of!"
Hilda Querrey instantly understood what Dunn meant. He hoped that Natalie would make the movie exactly according to her own ideas.
This desire for control is too strong, right?
But the favor was too heavy for Hilda Queri to refuse.
The agent must take the employer's interests as the first criterion, and Dunn also considers Natalie's sake, which is not contradictory.
"I see." Hilda Queri nodded.
"Yeah." Tang En blinked a few times, and said meaningfully, "I see you are all actresses, hehe, it seems that several of them have something to do with me."
Hilda Quelli felt bitter in her heart and thought to herself, "You still understand, do you know how much trouble Kate and Nicole's scandal caused me, eh?"
Her heart skipped a beat, looking at Tang En's half-smile, she suddenly understood what he meant.
This guy is really shameless!
