Hearing Tom Cruise's words, Pat Jinsli's face finally changed. He looked at Tom Cruise incredibly and asked: "Tom, you... do you want to fire me?"

Tom Cruise closed his eyes and said, "Pate, you have destroyed the foundation of our cooperation, and we have no need to continue to cooperate."

Pat Jinsli looked at Tom Cruise in a daze: "We have been working together for more than ten years! How can you do this?"

"We have been working together for more than ten years, both as partners and friends." Tom Cruise was very sad: "But how did you treat me? We don't tell you about the past, and it's too far away to explain it clearly. This time, you are worthy of my trust in Oscars?"

Tom Cruise didn't believe anything about Pat Jinsli's explanation before.

Pat-Gin Sili's face became even more ugly.

Tom Cruise said again: "What you said just now is just excuses."

Pat-Ginsily's expression kept changing because those words were really excuses.

Why make excuses instead of telling the truth? Once the truth is revealed, there will inevitably be a crack in the relationship between her and Tom Cruise.

Pat Kinsley knew Tom Cruise, so she made an excuse before.

Since Tom Cruise wanted to fire her, the situation collapsed instantly, and some things had to be said.

"Tom, haven't you ever thought about it?" Pat Kingsley asked instead: "I have been your agent since you married Nicole Kidman and treat you equally. Why does Oscar PR tend to be Nicole this time?"

Tom Cruise sneered: "Did you admit it?"

Pat Kinsley sighed. Hollywood-style relationships have never been reliable. She said: "The reason is very simple. Nicole has a great chance of winning the performance award, and your chances of winning are infinitely close to zero."

"Tom, haven't you noticed it? Oscars never like you." Pat Kinsley told the facts she believed: "Your acting skills are not outstanding among the stars who are on the rise in the second line. The theme and role of "Minority Report" are inherently flawed. How could you win the award?"

This sentence was like a heavy hammer, hitting Tom Cruise hard on the chest.

After becoming famous for so many years, how many people accused him of his acting skills in front of him?

Like all famous stars, Tom Cruise never thought there was something wrong with his acting skills.

Those who say that his acting skills are not good have eyes problems.

Pat Kinsley's words continued: "You and Nicole are my clients. I treat you equally. When there are limited resources in your hands, of course, we should give priority to assisting the people who are most likely to win the award. If it were other agents, they would make the same choice."

Tom Cruise's face looked a little ugly: "Do you think my acting skills are not even as good as her?"

"Calm down and we'll just do the matter." Pat Kingsley said: "Tom, think about it carefully. Without breakthrough performances and roles, no matter how good the PR is, with the core judges' inherent perception of you, may you win an award?"

Many things are not about chances, but about position.

In Tom Cruise's eyes, Pat Kinsley's position has deviated.

Not only did the resources in his hands be seriously tilted towards Nicole Kidman, but he also said that one of Hollywood's most famous vases has the acting skills above his superstar.

What reward does he get with blind trust in Pater Kinslito?

Tom Cruise said coldly: "You used the resources that originally belonged to her."

Pat-Jinsili holds two celebrity clients in her hands and has long felt like a super agent. She said naturally: "This is a reasonable allocation of optimized resources."

Tom Cruise stared at Pat Kinsley with a sharp look: "Okay, this is resource optimization, but you have used my resources, have you discussed it with me?"

Pat Jinsili said for granted: "I am your agent, I have a complete consideration. I can call your resources now, and in the future, other customers' resources can also be used to support you..."

Tom Cruise suddenly smiled, his smile a little cold and a little ridiculous.

"Don't forget, you are my agent!" Tom Cruise reminded: "What do you think of me? A pawn at your mercy?"

Pat-Jin Sili Yaran, because of her more than ten consecutive cooperation, her two A-level star clients did make her feel this way.

Like Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman are the protagonists in the movie, creating characters that spread all over the world.

But without the help of the broker, can they do it?

Are they not just a chess piece, just like props in the movie, following the mercy of the big hands behind the scenes?

Pat Kinsley believes that there is no problem with this statement.

As the actor's status, fame and pay increase, it is not only their own, but also their agents and even small assistants.

Tom Cruise saw something and kept shaking his head: "You forgot a little bit, the most important point." He strengthened his tone: "Pate, you are just one of my service providers!"

Hearing this, Pat Jinsli's expression turned cold: "Tom, how many opportunities have I won for you over the past ten years? Do you only treat me as a waiter?"

Speaking of this, the relationship between the two has collapsed. Tom Cruise said directly: "Don't the agent serve me as a client? I pay you a commission and you provide services to me. Caa's broker code has such terms, right?"

Pat Kinsily didn't know how to answer for a moment.

I don’t know when, in her concept, without her agent, there would be no Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman today.

After all, after more than ten years of cooperation, Tom Cruise still takes into account each other's face and does not pursue each other's fierce competition. He just said: "Our three-year brokerage contract has only the last year left. I will notify Caa and ask for a replacement broker. I will pay you a lot of penalty."

Pat Kinsilitten stood up: "Tom, you can't do this!"

Tom Cruise stopped seeing her: "I have something to deal with." He pressed the phone and the assistant immediately pushed the door and came in: "Masha, send Ms. Jinsili for me."

The female assistant named Martha immediately came over: "Ms. Jinsili, please come here."

Pat Jinsli looked at Tom Cruise coldly, and finally said nothing, turning around and leaving the office.

Since Tom Cruise made the decision, he had to do the final work. He first notified the lawyer, then called the accountant, and then dialed Ronan's number.

"What's wrong, Tom?"

Hearing Ronan's question, Tom Cruise said directly: "I fired the agent."

In the office of Relativity Entertainment, Ronan was reading the latest promotional news about Oscars in the newspaper and said, "You move so fast."

Tom Cruise replied: "Actually, Pat Kinsley has changed a long time ago. Maybe it wasn't the original Pat Kinsley a few years ago, but I have always trusted her. Blind trust has led to me not being wary of her enough."

Ronan asked curiously, "What happened?"

There was a laugh from the receiver, with self-deprecating laughter: "I don't know what gave Pat-Jinsily the wrong confidence, which made her think I was just a pawn controlled by her."

Ronan also laughed: "This is the funnyest joke I have heard this year. Maybe it's because you became a superstar and gave her too much confidence."

To be honest, if you leave Tom Cruise, Pat Kingsley's agent status will plummet.

Pat Kinsley is not the first agent with such confidence, nor will she be the last one.

Tom Cruise said again: "I don't want to be part of the joke, so I just fry her."

He roughly told Ronan about the conversation he had with Pat Kinsley.

Ronan thought for a while and reminded: "You'd better say hello to the senior management of Caa and do some preventive work, after all, she's been your agent for too long."

Tom Cruise is not stupid, and understands what Ronan means: "Don't worry, I will pay attention." He paused a little and said: "I have worked with Pat Jinsli for more than ten years, and I was a very good friend at one time. Everyone agreed to leave, she won't be there, right?"

Ronan reminded again: "You don't have to take the initiative to do anything when you take the initiative to do it, but you must not be careful."

To be honest, Tom Cruise has too much black material.

To be precise, if measured by a general social moral viewpoint, except for a very small number of people, other Hollywood stars can be said to be full of black materials.

"I will take this matter seriously," Tom Cruise said on the phone.

Ronan hung up the phone. Pat Kinsley has been Tom Cruise's agent for too long and knows Tom Cruise too much. Once it is really targeted at Tom Cruise, Tom Cruise will be quite troublesome.

Take the initiative to intervene? This is not a good choice.

As a friend, Ronan has reminded Tom Cruise several times that if Tom Cruise does not take the initiative to invite him and he will join in rashly, if there is a bad result, it will probably seriously affect his relationship with Tom Cruise.

Just like Pat Kinsley, he thought he was doing a lot of things for the sake of the client Tom Cruise, but he did not obtain Tom Cruise's consent, and the final result was all the opposite effect.

The ready-made examples are here, so Ronan certainly won’t do stupid things.

Perhaps Pat Kinsley would be as silent as most agents who have been terminated by clients and would not do anything that violates professional ethics.

It is common for Hollywood actors to terminate contracts with agents, or not renew their contracts after the three-year contract expires, and few agents come forward to take the initiative to discredit former clients.
