After receiving the "Public Enemy" film contract from Tianxia Production, Will Smith quickly agreed to accept it.

Although he has become one of the hottest stars in Hollywood due to the hot sale of several movies such as "The Jedi Men" and "The Black Super SWAT team", and there are countless film appointments waiting for him, Will Smith has not lost himself in the face of these flood of opportunities and is still sober.

He knew that as a rising star, his potential has not been fully released and his status is not so solid. It is very likely that the losses of one or two movies may ruin his star journey.

Just like Chris O'Donnell, who has starred in movies such as "Smelling the Scent of the Scent" and "Batman Forever", he is known as the Golden Boy of Hollywood.

But the huge loss of the movie "Batman and Robin" made this "Golden Boy" become a junk iron. The popular cake that was rushing to invite by major film companies suddenly became a dog that everyone can hide from.

This is the cruelty of Hollywood. If you want to live in this circle for a long time, you really can't make any mistakes. Especially if the movie is not popular or not, it is even more poisonous to the actors.

Therefore, although Will Smith faced many film contracts, he did not take on roles randomly, but was waiting for opportunities. If there was no suitable script, he would rather be empty for a year than take on roles randomly.

Fortunately, before he could wait for him to be free, this "Public Enemy of the State" was delivered to his door.

...

The movie "Public Enemy of the State" is adapted from James Sband's "Labyrinth" and a series of reports, mainly about the state's violation of citizens' privacy rights.

For example, you can read citizens’ files, bank account, social security information, call records without authorization, and use cameras all over the street to spy on people and track people at will, leaving the public’s privacy unblocked at all.

Because Westerners prefer freedom and power, they hate this kind of privacy violations very much, which also caused James Sband's and reports to cause considerable response back then.

But because the creation period was in the 1980s, its description of "high-tech snooping into human privacy" is still in a relatively low-level stage.

In the movie, FBI only spys on people's privacy through satellites, cameras, eavesdropping machines, and telephones. However, in the 1990s, with the rise of the Internet, FBI's tentacles had already penetrated into every corner through the Internet.

Everyone's online email, chat history, shopping history, browsing history, download history, etc., can see everything, and they can completely break everyone's privacy. Unfortunately, this aspect is not involved in the movie.

Xia Tian did not add these contents because he himself is one of the world's largest Internet service providers. If it arouses the public's fear of Internet privacy, it will not be beneficial to him.

...

Will Smith is interested in the script "Public Enemy of the Nation" because the story itself is a good story. The story itself is ups and downs, and the theme is profound. It is a movie that can attract audiences and reflect on it. It is very rare.

Secondly, this movie was sent by Tianxia Production. Tianxia Production is now the most famous company in Hollywood. The slogan "The world produces must be a fine product" has gradually formed a consensus among the fans.

It is precisely because of this consensus that movies produced by the world usually have relatively good box office and reputation. Movies that were originally only scored six points by ratings may reach seven points; box offices that were originally worth only 70 million US dollars may rise to more than 100 million.

Therefore, the movie "Public Enemy of the Country" was produced and invested and filmed by the world, which is likely to have a double-winning box office reputation, which is very beneficial to consolidate his position in Hollywood.

Therefore, after receiving the invitation, Will Smith agreed very happily.

But things didn't end here.

After learning about this movie, Tom Cruise was also very interested and suggested to Jerry Brookheimer that he would be willing to star in this movie, or even be willing to star in the movie at a discount.

Although Tom Cruise has been a member of the "20 million club" in recent years, he has to say that he also felt great pressure in the face of a series of newly emerging stars such as Will Smith, Nicholas Cage, Ben Affleck, Brad Pitt, etc.

These people took almost the same route as him, and they are all the most orthodox male protagonists in Hollywood. They are tall, handsome, powerful, and affectionate, and have also snatched away many of his film appointments.

In movies like "Air Prison", "Black Super Soldier Team", "Seven Deadly Sins", etc., there is no problem with the male lead, but unfortunately, everyone was taken first by others.

Faced with these rising newcomers, Tom Cruise also felt a lot of pressure, worried that his status might be lost. So he wanted to compete with Will Smith for this "Public Enemy of the Nation".

He had already read the script of this movie and thought it was very good. He also knew that this movie was a project that was appointed in the summer and was destined to have a good box office reputation. This also strengthened his belief.

...

Faced with Tom Cruise's self-recommendation, Brookheimer was actually quite tempted.

First, Tom Cruise is now higher than Will Smith. After all, Will has just entered the film industry for a few years. Although he has starred in several well-known and popular movies, his qualifications are still lacking.

However, Tom Cruise has been working in Hollywood for more than ten years and has starred in a series of well-known and popular movies, such as "Top Gun", "Born on July 4", "Night Visit to Vampire", "Mission: Impossible", etc., and the box office has always been guaranteed.

Moreover, Tom Cruise is willing to play the role with a discount, and the pay is not much higher than the price proposed by Will Smith's agent, and Tianxia Production is completely acceptable.

This makes Tom Cruise very competitive.

Second, Brookheimer has worked with Tom Cruise before, and the cooperation is quite pleasant and has accumulated a lot of friendship.

Now Tom Cruise has taken the initiative to call for "Public Enemy of the State". In his opinion, this request is not too much, and he is also happy to help his friends.

But whether this matter is OK is not up to him. Brookheimer then called Xia Tian to explain the matter to him.
