A man wearing a black leather jacket with a light blue shirt underneath, skinny jeans, and Ray-Ban sunglasses was seen entering the high-end building located in Century City with an arrogant smirk on his face.
As he stepped into the building after the doorman opened it up for him; he suddenly became the center of the attention of all people in the lobby.
Any women he passed by were gasping at his handsomeness while men were cursing him in their hearts because of jealousy.
Some new talents were looking up to him like he was a saint while some of them worship the ground he walked.
Yeah, sucked it up losers, he was the alpha and they should be licking his boots from the moment he walked here. His smirks turned into more narcissistic and any men who saw it became pissed.
But they couldn't complain or warn him not to get cocky because his now showing film success backing him up.
He was now one of their ace talents and his fame would push this agency status further.
There was gossip about this talent agency wanted to become a broker for a foreign company for taking over one of Hollywood's big seven-film companies.
With their other new fame, they would be trustable enough to secure the negotiation with them, and finally, they would be able to build their skyscraper building they have dreamed of since they built this talent agency.
The receptionist who saw him came got her eyes widened, her heart beating so fast and flush crept out to her face.
He smirked at her and gave the effects he expected, "H-h-hello M-mr. C-cruise, c-congratulation for your success, Mr. Ovitz has been waiting for you on the second floor." She cursed herself for stuttering.
"Thank you..." He closed his face to hers, looking at her nametag, and whispered, "Ms. Angela, I really appreciate it, do you want to have lunch with me today, Ms. Angela?"
"Yesss, I want to Mr. Cruise!" Her voice pitched high to crescendo.
"Perfect, see you at lunch, Ms. Angela." He smirked again and left her with dreamy eyes.
The moment he stepped into the second floor, a mature and elegant woman wearing a business suit came to greet him.
"Since when you turned to ladies man Tom? The poor little girl looks like we have to find another receptionist soon because of heartbreak. Where's that innocent young boy who came to CAA small office a few years back?"
"Paula," He smiled after recognizing who it was, "I have always been a ladies man Paula, but I focused more on my career and now, I can lean back for a while after
"How about Kelly McGillis?" The one she asked was his on-screen partner on
"You know it was a setting right? To boost the box office. I told you I don't like her at all."
"If it's not her then, did you still chase after that singer, what was her name... oh yeah, Cher? I didn't know you like older girls" She teased.
"Paula, please talk about my love life later. We have a meeting with Mike first." He hurried up changing the topic of conversation.
He immediately entered Michael Ovitz's room while Paula Wagner shook her head amusedly.
Once he was there, he was greeted by Michael Ovitz and 2 other senior partners that he didn't know who their name was.
"Welcome, Mr. Cruise, congratulation on your box office success. The analysis said that the domestic box office could reach more than $100 million in two months." He cheerful said while laughing.
His plan has worked, now he had another golden boy to boost this talent agency status.
Michael Ovitz, one of the founders of this CAA company and the one who suggested the packaging project for
He was really grateful to him and his machination. Although he felt some discomfort because he was treated like a circus animal, if it made him rich and famous, he was okay with it.
Besides 2 senior partners, there were also another 2 people here, first was Sydney Pollack, his mentor and the second was Tony Scott, the director of
When he came, everyone congratulated him. He liked the attention he was given, he fucking loved it!
Finally, after waiting for 5 years after his big-screen debut in
He was very happy, he never smiled this wide. His film got an $8 million opening weekend from the film release on 16th May.
He was the main character now. all of the agents and talents from CAA, praised him like he was a hero.
Except that there was someone who he proclaimed as a rival. That kid was 8 years younger than him but his path of career was smoother than him.
Since that boy appeared in
Same as his godfather, the summer files king-- He also went to take that title.
And he also chose this summer file as his battlefield! That guy nerve! No, he was not afraid, let's see how that boy would keep his box office success streak.
Because he, the rising star of CAA would become his stumbling rock, no, he would be his superior, he would be the most famous person in Hollywood or he won't call himself Tom Cruise.
After a brief meeting by Michael Ovitz, his secretary came to his office and told them another news.
The film that Alphonse Brandt was starring in was finally released and the first-week box office sucked the life from his eyes, $10 million...
The room turned silent as this was one of the biggest opening box office scores in the summer files.
Also, she told them that even critics gave it a good review and more times better than his film. He felt his world crumbled, his supposed to be a joyous moment in his life overshadowed by that boy again.
Only the executives of this company cheered because Alphonse Brandt was also their contracted talent.
But for him and his agent, their face became bad and gave those merry cheerful executives a fake smile.
'Alphonse Brandt!! I swear someday I will defeat you!' He screamed on his mind.
