Please give me a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket!

In the bright and spacious office, Nicholas Cage sat on a sofa, not even looking at the coffee on the coffee table next to him. Although his facial expression was still trying to maintain peace, his hands that were constantly rubbing showed that he was a little anxious to wait.

But he came here to ask for help, so he couldn't say anything, so he could only wait patiently.

He picked up the coffee cup and took a sip. Nicholas Cage sighed. In order to continue to maintain a calm expression, he had to divert his attention. His eyes were up and down in the office, left and right, and looked around.

The office decoration is very simple, and there is no need to find anything else on the wall except for some hardcover posters of "Hard Fruit Candy", "Saw", "Horror Planet", "Deadpool", "Gone Love", "Game of Thrones" and "Man of Steel".

Even so, Nicholas Cage was still a little moved. With these movies, Murphy Stanton brought an empty film company from a simple rental house to the luxurious business building of Century City.

He also heard that when Stanton Studio moved into the building close to Twenty Century Fox last month, not only did the news media gather, but even the board members of Twenty Century Fox were almost all here.

Who doesn’t know the value of Murphy Stanton in the whole of Hollywood?

This director, who is only twenty-seven years old, not only made a big profit in his investment in his film company, but also accumulated a large amount of wealth. It is said that it is as many as hundreds of millions of dollars. He is definitely a wealthy figure among Hollywood directors.

Nicholas Cage shook his head. Even when he was the most glorious, he was not as good as Murphy Stanton, let alone now?

Now he is in a difficult situation. After hitting a wall countless times, he hopes to get a glimmer of hope from Murphy Stanton.

Thinking of this, Nicholas Cage looked at a large poster of "Man of Steel" hanging on the wall, and stood on the side of Superman. The last time he collaborated with Murphy, he got along very well with Murphy, perhaps these could help him.

The office door was suddenly pushed open from outside, and Nicholas Cage turned to see, and Murphy had already walked in.

Seeing Nicholas Cage, Murphy handed the file bag in his hand to his assistant and said with a smile, "Long time no see, Nicholas."

Nicholas Cage quickly stood up and walked over, and took the initiative to extend his hand, "Yes, Murphy, long time no see."

Murphy held it in his hand, pointed to the sofa and said, "Sit as you like."

When Nicholas Cage sat down, he sat on a sofa next to him, his face calmly, but he was more curious about the purpose of the other party coming.

He and Nicholas Cage got along well when filming "Man of Steel", but this good relationship was limited to work, and both sides were not friends.

Indeed, he used to like Nicholas Cage and his videos very much, but if he treated Nicholas Cage opposite him as a friend, well... that would be no different from an idiot.

Murphy has always liked to be simple and straightforward.

"I'm so anxious to find me..." He looked at Nicholas Cage and asked, "Nicolas, is there anything urgent?"

Nicholas Cage is a little embarrassed. If it were any Hollywood superstar and former 20 million club members, it would not be easy to open such a mouth, but the situation was urgent and he encountered walls everywhere else. Now he can only try his luck.

"That's right, Murphy." Nicholas Cage took a deep breath and said, "I recently shipped some financial problems and have difficulty in capital turnover..."

He raised his hand and coughed in a low voice.

Murphy roughly understood what Nicholas Cage meant and said, "Everyone has difficulties. I will say hello to my accountant tomorrow and ask him to transfer you a million dollars."

Although he is not a friend, Nicholas Cage still has great commercial value in his eyes. There is no harm in maintaining a good relationship. Besides, this is just a loan, not a free offer.

"This..." Nicholas Cage suddenly didn't know what to say, the money was not enough to fill his black hole.

He hesitated for a moment, and his face was not as important as a reality. He said, "My funding gap is about tens of millions of dollars."

Murphy frowned slightly, "Ten millions of dollars?"

This is completely different from a million dollars.

Seeing Murphy suddenly fall into silence, Nicholas Cage took a deep breath and said directly, "I have encountered great difficulties and need at least $20 million in funds to turn over."

Murphy looked at Nicholas Cage and said nothing.

Nicholas Cage continued, "Murphy, I promise that I will return the money as quickly as possible, at no less than the interest on the bank's loan..."

"Wait!" Murphy raised his hand and interrupted Nicholas Cage. "Nicolas, I don't know if you heard that. I just invested hundreds of millions of dollars and don't have so much liquidity in my hands for the time being."

Hearing these polite words, Nicholas Cage's face was gloomy and couldn't help but sigh in secret that no one was willing to pull himself in the quagmire...

Murphy's brain was spinning rapidly, knowing that the pay for "Man of Steel" did not save Nicholas Cage, the Oscar winner, must have encountered huge difficulties now. It is possible that as he once knew, he has been on the verge of bankruptcy.

He looked at Nicholas Cage. If he had been left five years later, he would never care about these bad things. But now it is different. Nicholas Cage is not the king of bad movies later. He still has a large number of fans and considerable market appeal. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a first-line Hollywood male star.

Such people undoubtedly have great value, which is also the main reason why Murphy can seriously consider it. After all, Nicholas Cage is not James Franko and Robert Downey Jr. and others.

Nicholas Cage looked at Murphy, probably because he felt that there was no hope, so he was ready to stand up and say goodbye.

But Murphy spoke, "Nicolah, 20 million dollars is not a small number."

He nodded subconsciously, and Nicholas Cage's butt that he had just wanted to lift was back on the sofa.

"I have basically invested in the working capital in my hands." Murphy said seriously and sincerely, "I need time to raise money."

He only said raising money, but didn't mention anything about borrowing money.

But this sentence had already made Nicholas Cage see hope, and he showed a little gratitude on his face, "Thank you, Murphy! Thank you very much!"

"I need to think about how many days I will reply to you," Murphy said.

Nicholas Cage nodded hurriedly, "No problem, I can wait."

After running in Hollywood for so long, Murphy was the first person to reveal his willingness to lend tens of millions of dollars.

Afterwards, Nicholas Cage said goodbye with hope, but whether it could become a reality depends on Murphy's wishes. Such a matter involving huge amounts of funds will not be idiot to make a decision just by slapping his forehead. He plans to ask someone to conduct a specific investigation first and then make a decision based on the actual situation.

In less than two days, a detailed investigation report was handed over to Murphy, and Nicholas Cage's situation could no longer be described as bad.

To put it simply, the excessive squander and the failure of investment forced Oscar winner Nicholas Cage to a situation of carrying huge debts. After frequently selling some of his property under his name at a low price last year, he was unable to pay the loan. His luxury home in Bell Air, Los Angeles was recently forced to be reclaimed by the bank and auctioned publicly.

Nicholas Cage initially planned to sell the property for $35 million, but no one cared about it. Although he significantly reduced the price to $19 million and $17.5 million, he never attracted buyers. As a result, the luxury house was taken back by the creditor's loan bank and forced to auction off the debt.

In recent years, Cage's financial situation has been deteriorating, and last year he was in a tax arrears turmoil, and was recovered by the IRS of up to $6.257 million in personal income tax. The survey data obtained by Murphy showed that he owed up to $14 million.

As Hollywood's superstar, Nicholas Cage was once the best "real estate player" in Hollywood.

At its peak, he had 15 palace-like mansions around the world, including a Gothic castle and an island in the Bahamas.

In addition, his personal belongings include four yachts, jets, 40 famous cars, a large number of jewelry and countless works of art. In the past few years, he and Leonardo DiCaprio competed for a dinosaur skull and eventually bought it successfully for hundreds of thousands of dollars. He also invested heavily in comic books, with a collection of more than $1.5 million.

Currently, Cage is accusing former business manager Sam Levin of suspected deficit in his assets. He has taken the other party's advice to avoid taxes by different means. He also invested in high-risk investments under the instigation of the manager, which was affected by the financial tsunami.

Of course, Cage's bad habit of making too much money is also the reason why he has no money now.

As a result, the Hollywood superstar has recently tightened monetary policy, and has been incurring tax arrears and bankruptcy storms. Real estate in various places has been seized one after another. Several luxury houses in California and Las Vegas were auctioned by courts to pay off their debts and could not be redeemed at all.

It's easy to say that at most Nicholas Cage will bear huge debts, but owing taxes is a very fatal thing.

In a country born due to tax resistance, it is definitely a very terrifying thing. Anyone knows that don’t bother to mess with the tax bureau. Once they are targeted, it will be a huge trouble.

After learning about this, Murphy personally called Nicholas Cage, and then asked the agent to talk to Nicholas Cage in detail that he would provide the Oscar winner with an interest-free loan of 20 million US dollars so that he could pay the huge taxes he owed.
