Chapter 663: Attack and defense surrounding Tom Cruise
"I don't want to clarify, this is all messed up and disgusting." Tom Cruise's fans spontaneously went to protest to Quentin Tarantino, the originator of the rumors, but Cruise himself did not want to formally respond.
.
In the entertainment industry, sometimes the best way to deal with nonsense rumors is to ignore them. If you let them go, they will be replaced by new gossips and rumors in about a week, and no one will pay attention to them.
But if you respond very formally, it will give the topic undue popularity. Many passers-by will continue to pay attention to this matter, and the rumors will continue to spread. If you cannot conclusively refute it with hard evidence
If you do, this rumor will stay and follow you, and it will be revealed whenever something happens in the future.
Ordinarily this would be enough, but after all, Tom Cruise is the most box-office star in Hollywood, and he is facing a new star director who has won the Palme d'Or. In addition, fans' protests have been reported in the media.
If you continue to pretend not to see it, the rumors will continue to spread. At this time, some substantive actions to refute the rumors will be needed.
Therefore, Paula Wagner arranged for Tom Cruise to have the best celebrity interviewer in Hollywood, Kevin Sethus of Variety Magazine, to conduct an exclusive interview with Tom Cruise to appease fans and refute rumors.
.
After all, the basic source of Tom Cruise's box office appeal is the fantasies of those female fans. If rumors of this orientation reach a certain scale, then Tom Cruise's value will drop rapidly...
…
"Tom, I know you are disgusted with this rumor, but if you don't do something..." Paula Wagner also gave kind words to this baby.
"It's so disgusting. It's so disgusting. I don't want to be interviewed. Sitting there and being asked these questions is just a matter of amplifying the impact of the rumors. Moreover, it's too embarrassing. I have two
Wife, plus I have several girlfriends, why don’t they still believe me?”
"this……"
The awkward atmosphere spread quickly.
This matter is actually related to Tom Cruise’s breakup with several ex-girlfriends and ex-wives. Especially Tom Cruise’s ex-wife Mimi Rogers once hinted after the divorce that the reason for her divorce was Tom Cruise
Like a "monk".
Current wife Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise have no biological children. On the contrary, last year they adopted a girl, Isabella Jane Kidman, through Scientology.
· Cruise.
It is very suspicious that a combination of handsome men and beautiful women are all young people. They do not give birth to children, but adopt them instead. Combined with Mimi Rogers’ statement, many people secretly suspect that Nicole Kidman is just Tom Clark.
Ruth's titular wife.
"Tom..." Just when everyone was embarrassed and silent, Ronald rushed in through the door, followed by public relations expert Pat Kingsley.
"Ronald..." Tom Cruise finally frowned, hoping that this time the man who helped him enter the entertainment industry could help him solve the embarrassing problem again.
"We were in a tree, so I thought it was my duty to put an end to this problem once and for all."
Ronald smiled and said, "I have already communicated with David Geffen. This time Kevin Sesames from Variety Magazine will cooperate with you throughout the process. He will sit in the co-pilot of your trainer plane.
In the position, you show him your stunts, mainly talking about your own pursuits, dreams, understanding of Hollywood, and refuting rumors."
Ronald knew Tom Cruise's attitude towards this trouble, and he approached another producer who was hurt by this rumor, David Geffen, one of the three major shareholders of the new DreamWorks.
Another thing that has been used as evidence for Tom Cruise's sexual orientation rumors is his performance in two movies. The first one is "Top Gun" when Quentin Tarantino guest-starred, and there are conflicts in it.
The scene after bathing, including sweating on the beach and playing beach volleyball...stills of a shirtless body with wet hair, appeared in a fashion magazine in New Jersey that deals with minority orientations in the past few days.
Another movie is "Interview with the Vampire" directed by David Geffen, in which Tom Cruise plays the long-haired, unusually handsome Lestat with ambiguous sexual orientation...
Therefore, this rumor also affected the video sales of Ronald and Paramount's "Top Gun", and caused David Geffen to invest in DreamWorks to promote minority orientations, and he wanted to spend more money to film minority-oriented characters.
rumor.
Ronald and David Geffen met and negotiated, and finally the two jointly mobilized resources to launch a multimedia rumor-refuting operation.
"So this interview is mainly about my ideals, dreams and career review?" Tom Cruise looked at the outline of the interview and finally regained his charming smile. For a young star like himself, such a review
An exclusive interview like this is something we can only dream of... and the interview location is on the trainer plane where Cruise himself performs aerobatics. This behavior can fully demonstrate his masculine prowess...
…
A few days later, in the latest issue of Variety Magazine, there was a sexy photo of Tom Cruise and the interview title - "Cruise Speed (a pun on Cruise Speed)" on the center spread. The following is the subtitle:
"Tom Cruise was the first actor of his generation to break through as a teenager and become an adult star. He has a charming smile and a classic heroic behavior. In this interview, he will talk about his relationship with his father
, his Church of Scientology, dispels a series of rumors and talks about the dark forces driving him..."
"Don't be afraid," Tom Cruise's voice rang in my ears, "sometimes this thing will lunge like a violated ape."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Tom Cruise and I were strapped into the two cockpits of a small Peters S-2B biplane, only connected by the
The headsets on the flight hats are talking to each other. He is controlling the aircraft from the cockpit behind me, and as we speed along the runway, his voice comes again:
"Hurry up!" he warned, the engines roaring and with a bang more violent than an angry ape, we roared upward through the small, private Santa Monica Airport.
Ronald Lee, who directed Tom Cruise in Top Gun and Sugar Trap, has told me all about the popular star:
"Tom loves skydiving, he loves racing, he loves riding motorcycles, he loves rock climbing. He loves white water rafting and now he loves these aerobatics. You can say that there is not a drop of Jewish blood in him."
Ronald also appeared in the interview, teasing that Jews are not good at sports and can only be lawyers, accountants, financiers, and agents...
I relayed Renner's comments to Cruise, and his enthusiastic laughter sent me flying higher over the Pacific, heading north along the Malibu coastline...
"That's not true, but it's nobody's business what people say... I don't care even if someone says I'm a Martian. I really don't care. Majority orientation, minority orientation, two-headed orientation. Believe in Sanda
Christian, Catholic, Jewish, whatever you want..."
Tom Cruise clarified more than a dozen rumors surrounding him at one go, thus putting the rumors that had an impact on his image among the many other rumors and making them less noticeable.
Then, David Geffen and Katzenberg both stated in interviews that Hollywood stars like Tom Cruise are gifts from God. Many male stars are addicted to substance abuse and have multiple relationships with others.
Women maintain messy relationships, and only Tom Cruise maintains the style of an old-school Hollywood star...
Finally, Nicole Kidman accepted an interview and admitted that Tom Cruise was not her first boyfriend, but he was definitely the first person she wanted to marry. The two were working together for a while to replace their adopted daughter.
After the diaper show, Kidman faced questions and admitted that the two of them wanted to have more biological children.
…
"Did he cry at the end?" Diane looked up at the plot in the interview and suddenly raised her head and asked Ronald.
In an exclusive interview with Variety Magazine, the reporter said that Tom Cruise had lifelong regrets because he could not discuss with his father in detail why he abandoned him before his death. In the end, he cried like a Hollywood star.
Fortunately, he went to the hospital to meet his father before he passed away. Although his father forbade him from asking about what happened back then, the two father and son had some food and had an emotional exchange just like a normal father and son.
Faced with the issue of Scientology, which is even more sensitive than the rumors about his orientation, Tom Cruise took a roundabout approach and did not attack the rumors about his orientation head-on.
In short, this interview highlights Tom Cruise's athletic ability and adventurous spirit, and also creates an image that makes a beautiful woman like Nicole Kidman work hard to fight for love. The overall effect should be quite good, just for her father.
The tearful part was a bit over the top, and it made people who know Tom Cruise a little bit stunned and a little disgusting.
"Hey, he really didn't have much communication with his father..." Ronald touched his nose. The clarification of this exclusive interview can be said to have successfully achieved the effect. It is said that the book is accompanied by several sexy photos of Tom Cruise.
issue of the magazine, sales have increased very well.
"I didn't know that Tom had such a side..." Diane whispered. The Cruise in her impression was still the young man who worked hard and made progress in everything when he was filming The Naughty Man. He volunteered to use his own body in the fight scene.
A young actor who had his dentures knocked out.
But having such a sentimental moment is good news for her upcoming new movie "Sweetheart" with Tom Cruise. That movie requires some delicate acting skills...
"Yeah, he can also be very emotional," Ronald laughed. Tom Cruise is also pursuing a movie that has no action scenes, only romantic scenes, but is also a box office hit, so that he can become a top actor.
Male stars and those in films across genres can have box office appeal.
Several of his previous attempts, including the latest "Interview with the Vampire", had failed, and he hoped to rely on Ronald to achieve another huge success like "Top Gun."
"Is this going to be over?" Diane frowned. The rumors about Tom Cruise's orientation had spread to a large area this time, making her feel uncomfortable even as she was named the producer of the new film.
.
If Cruise's appeal is greatly reduced because of this incident, it won't be good for her as a producer for the first time.
"We have to look again. The opponent attacks and we counterattack. This is just the first round..." Ronald touched his chin. This is also a very good test to see who else jumps out from the darkness and takes the initiative to be Harvey.
Weinstein allies.
"Would it be a bit too ordinary for me to wear this for Rosie O'Donnell's first show?" Diane put on a sleeveless dress, combed her hair in a ponytail, and wore light shoes, looking very neighborly.
The appearance of a young woman.
"No, you are the sexiest..." Ronald looked at her, indeed relatively restrained, except for two diamond earrings shining with dazzling light, and a Cartier customized watch flashing golden light from time to time...
…
Sure enough, someone else jumped out of the darkness. McCall's, one of America's best women's fashion magazines, for which Elena Roosevelt also wrote articles, also published an article about Tom.
Cruise's introduction introduces their readers to everything about this Hollywood star.
However, McCall's Magazine reported the rumors about sexual orientation from the most curious and gossipy angle, regardless of the tone set by the variety show magazine with the greatest influence in Hollywood.
This chapter is not over, please click the next page to continue reading! "McCall's magazine hinted that Tom and Nicole's marriage was an act, and Nicole helped Tom hide his orientation in exchange for the opportunity to develop his career in Hollywood...
…”
"hehe……"
Ronald asked someone to investigate the background of this magazine. Although the magazine has a long history and a glorious past, today, the sales of McCall's Magazine have become worse and worse because it is too "traditional".
Its owner, The New York Times Company, is considering putting America's longest-running women's magazine on the market, published in 1870.
A magazine like this, which had poor sales due to its conservative content, suddenly broke through its taboo and published such avant-garde news. Ronald knew at a glance that the matter was not simple...
The other party also knew that they had to find a magazine far away from Hollywood for the second round. In fact, they had already leaked the information that their strength was not enough...
Ronald called lawyer Lindsay Dole to deal with this unexpected matter, and he sent Diane to the TV station. Today, Rosie O'Donnell's talk show will record the first episode. It is necessary to start from the enemy.
Counterattack where expected.
"Hello everyone, I am Rosie O'Donnell. This is the first recording of the Rosie O'Donnell Show. I will invite many Hollywood stars to this show. The first guest today is my good friend,
The female star who attended the Pink League with me was on the cover of Time magazine at the age of 16. She is the dream lover of many Hollywood male stars and the favorite person of one of the most powerful men in Hollywood, Ronald Lee.
Ann Lane..."
"Hi, Rosie..."
Diane was most satisfied with the last title introduced to her, and came out from the backstage to hug Rosie, who was fat and had a sense of humor.
"Let's talk about your first movie that had a huge impact in Hollywood, The Wanderer. I heard that all the male actors on the set fell in love with you?"
"I don't know, they are still playing pranks in my room..." Diane replied.
"Your husband Ronald was also on the set at the time? Did he protect you?"
"Ah, yes, he was the assistant to director Francis Coppola at the time. It is true that after he was around, the pranks on me stopped."
"That movie had a lot of male stars who would become famous in the future, including Ralph Marzio from The Dragon King, Patrick Schwytz from Dirty Dancing, Matt Dillon... and my Tommy..."
"Ah? What, your Tommy?" Diane was a little dizzy, "You mean, Tom Cruise?"
"Of course, don't you know he's my Tommy?...Here you go..." Rosie O'Donnell pressed a button on the table, and suddenly two lines of lyrics appeared on the scene:
“Tommy can you hear me?
Tommy can you see me?”
"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know beforehand, but did you know that he was married?" Diane looked at Rosie, wondering what she was doing.
"Of course, but I pretended not to know. I didn't have any special ideas. I just fantasized that one day Tom Cruise would appear on their lawn and drive the lawnmower, and the automatic sprinklers would pour on him.
The way it sparkles in the sun..."
"Oh, hahahaha..."
"Stop laughing, if you laugh at my Tommy again, I will end our friendship with you..."
