King of Hollywood

\u003e Michael? Ovitz does have a hand in running a broker. Although in Adrian's memory, the brokerage company he re-founded after leaving Disney eventually disappeared, but that is not his personal problem. From the end of the 1990s to the beginning of the 21st century, unlike the countless opportunities in the 1970s, the market has been almost divided up. It is not easy to squeeze out a way out of it based on personal ability. According to the Chinese saying: This is God’s will. Non-war crimes. \u003c/p\u003e

Now it is different. With the full support of Adrian and Claude, especially Adrian's precise vision, the brokerage company has gathered a large number of rising stars, and Ovitz can give full play to his ability. \u003c/p\u003e

To give the simplest example, serve as q in cqq. At that time, Ovitz was best at writing Chapter 261. What if it wasn't in California? Including sales promotion, if a film company wants to cooperate with its actors and directors, it must also accept other people recommended by them. Many film companies were dissatisfied with this, and many producers also complained that their approach increased the cost of filming, but they had to accept these in the end. \u003c/p\u003e

But after M, his methods became more flexible and changeable. Even though he insisted on package sales, the compulsion was much less. Doesn’t this screenwriter? Don't want that gaffer? No problem, we can talk! Although Oviying likes a luxurious life, he is very pragmatic in his work. Regardless of the fact that the company has just over 100 agents, its influence is faintly behind caa and wma. Most of the credit for this is Ovitz. , So Adrian said so much just to knock him down, not really to raise a teacher. \u003c/p\u003e

Leaving aside the benefits, Adrian can understand Ovitz's mood. Before this, he was a Disney employee. Although he only worked for more than a year, he was kicked out by Eisner. Earlier, he and his friends built it with bare hands. An agency company with more influence than wma, who can be regarded as a powerful figure in Hollywood, must be very very deep in his heart. Chapter 261 What if it is not in California? Proud. \u003c/p\u003e

Although he agreed to Adrian and Claude's invitation, although he was indeed inspired to recreate his glory, it is inevitable that he has some ideas of relying on the old to sell the old, not to mention that the brokerage company is independent of Seam Media, and there is no legal problem It also means that he can monopolize power in many cases, so Ovitz did not put them in the same position as himself in his heart. \u003c/p\u003e

However, Adrian and Claude are not the kind of people who can be evaluated with common sense. The development speed of the media is far beyond people's imagination. Qualified to be a super media group on an equal footing with News Corporation, Viacom, and Bestman! \u003c/p\u003e

Ovitz will inevitably have a gap in his heart. Well-known brokerage companies are certainly very popular, but the real powerful people who can influence the entertainment industry are the heads of these super media groups. Otherwise, he would not have left CAA for Disney. : Although the experience at Disney made him understand that he is not this material, but seeing the achievements of Adrian and Claude still has a feeling of brooding. \u003c/p\u003e

This is why Adrian said that the poaching of the agent this time would be a good opportunity. He took this opportunity to deter other brokerage companies that were eyeing M, as well as Michael Ovitz. \u003c/p\u003e

It is common for brokerage companies to poach talents from each other. Even CAA, which has set many benefits and rules for its brokers, cannot avoid it. When Ovitz and a few friends left, several of them were poached. Quite a weighty agent, and after Ovitz came, he also sent the famous agent Tracey? Jacobs poached from cqq and it wasn't a big deal. \u003c/p\u003e

But the question was too careless this time, if it wasn't discovered halfway, maybe Anderson? Keller disclosed the company's client list to wma... Was it wma William who dug him? Moss Brokerage Company, a veteran brokerage company founded at the end of the last century and the beginning of this century, although due to various reasons, its influence is not as good as that of CAA, but it is still the largest brokerage company in Hollywood. \u003c/p\u003e

The client list is very important for brokerage companies, especially those client lists that have established detailed files. If competitors get the list, it is very likely that they will take targeted measures to pull clients over. Anderson? Keller is considered to be one of the best managers at the moment. If he is really poached secretly, the company will definitely lose a lot of money, so retaliation must be taken, and thunderbolts must be used to cover up the situation as quickly as possible. Solve it, otherwise you will be underestimated, and then everyone wants to come and challenge it. \u003c/p\u003e

Therefore, Ovitz hopes that Adrian will help, and use his identity to greet the stars in Keller's hands and let them terminate the contract with Keller: It must be admitted that Ovitz's idea is very feasible, although M is currently at a high-end The service is famous, and there are many big-name stars in the hands of its agents, starting from Tom? Hanks to Nicholas ? Cage, from Julia? Roberts to Gwyneth? Paltrow has included many new stars that appeared in the 1990s, but the biggest and most eye-catching one is the miracle director Adrian? Kewell, and the stars who take care of their own affairs also know a little about the relationship between Adrian and him. If he is willing to speak, it will definitely be useful. \u003c/p\u003e

The fact is exactly the same, no, the fact is simpler, Keller holds the most important star in his hand, which is Jenny Book? Lopez and Russell? Crow and Adrian made two phone calls and asked them out to talk to each other. Of course, we talked with Crow in a high-end club, and with Lopez in bed...they talked to Keller in a short time The contract was terminated, and the other actors in that guy's hands were brought along bu\u003c/p\u003e

This is not surprising, Adrian discovered Crowe single-handedly, and made him nominated twice for Oscar Best Actor. He is still so rich and powerful, and Crowe is naturally grateful to him. What's more, at the end of this month, a movie invested by Universal is about to start shooting. Adrian named Crowe as the starring role, and specially invited Ridley? Scott directed. \u003c/p\u003e

That's right, it's the "Gladiator" that reinvigorated the development of epic movies. This script was already acquired by Universal. When the media acquired Universal, they were discussing whether to invest. After Adrian knew it, he decided to agree, and he still invested alone. , DreamWorks, which was supposed to be a joint venture, was also kicked out. At the same time, he tried his best to invite the director who had to give up the directing tube in the past two years because of the failure of "The Wave" and "Gjan" to go with his brother Tom? Ridley, who co-produced with Scott but still wanted to direct again? Scott serves as director. \u003c/p\u003e

So Crowe will definitely not refuse Adrian's request, especially Adrian also vaguely revealed that this movie is likely to allow him to get a statuette. Now who doesn't know the vision of the director of Miracle? ! \u003c/p\u003e

Lopez is even simpler. Although the album tailored for her by the record company makes her unable to compete with Britney and Christina, it has received considerable praise among Latinos in the United States, and many people in Latin America also like it. The movie is also developing smoothly. In addition, Adrian has come up with a script of "Maid in Manhattan", and he plans to let Ralph? Fiennes played the leading role. This woman with some brains immediately agreed to Adrian's request and warmly invited him to go home for a while, but Adrian was naturally disrespectful. \u003c/p\u003e

The whole matter was resolved so quickly that many people were surprised. Almost as soon as Keller left, the two stars in his hands terminated his contract, and those ordinary actors also made the same request one after another in the next few days, which immediately made other Several brokerage companies are very afraid of this. Michael? Ovitz was also surprised. On the third day after the negotiation, when he received a call from Adrian asking him to prepare a new agent for Lopez and Kloe, he thought the other party was joking. That's right! \u003c/p\u003e

He originally thought that Adrian would greet them first, and then he would come forward to communicate with them in person to recover the loss, so that Ovitz could be regarded as making up for his previous mistakes. Unexpectedly, Adrian only talked to them separately, and they terminated the contract with Anderson Keller. The powerful influence on the stars shown by this is really terrible. \u003c/p\u003e

In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will be relieved. The current development momentum is mostly due to Ovitz, and a small part is due to Adrian. Generally speaking, the actors he personally named and signed have developed faster than ordinary people. , which is why it is famous for its high-end services. Therefore, after this incident, Ovidang became more cautious in his work. \u003c/p\u003e

Adrian, who has followed from the beginning to the end, is very satisfied with the current results, which not only makes several other brokerage companies dare not fight against him for the time being, but also makes Ovitz put away his arrogance. You must know that this method is good, but it cannot be used often. After all, it is independent of A Media. Why did you ask Ovitz at the beginning: This time it was solved, so what about next time? \u003c/p\u003e

Fortunately, this matter was basically resolved according to his ideas. Under this situation, he proposed to Ovitz to extend the agent's affairs to sports. He will definitely work hard to manage it. Besides, sports stars often earn more money. Especially those black athletes who don't know how to save and invest, spend money recklessly, and it's too easy to earn their money. Even if Adrian can't remember many sports stars, Ovitz's ability should be able to seize the opportunity. \u003c/p\u003e

As for that poor Anderson? Keller has no value without clients, and he was terminated by clients just after joining, wmq's evaluation of his ability will be greatly reduced, and the end can be imagined. \u003c/p\u003e

Well, let’s skip this topic for the time being. After the acquisition of Universal, although Seam Media is constantly integrating internally, its various productions have never been left behind. Many movies and TV series Adrian will personally ask questions, such as Kate’s upcoming Valentine’s Day "A Touch of Fate", or "Notting Hill" that Lafia rushed to shoot in London, etc. \u003c/p\u003e

"Very good!" Following the director's voice, several assistants who had already been prepared ran to the pool immediately, and when the drenched girl in the leather jacket came out of the water tremblingly, she stepped forward and put the blanket on the water. on her. \u003c/p\u003e

"She's doing a good job, isn't she?" Adrian, who was watching all this, looked at James, who was wearing a baseball cap and had his signature beard. Cameron said. \u003c/p\u003e

"Are you referring to her acting skills? Or her movements? Or... her figure?" Cameron asked teasingly. \u003c/p\u003e

"Use it all." Adrian glanced at him, smiled indifferently, and then said half-warningly: "Steven has already produced the first episode of "Band of Brothers", when will you be able to "Doomsday?" The first episode of "Black Angel" was produced, Jamie? You know, the investment of "Band of Brothers" is bigger than "Dark Angel of the Last Days."\u003c/p\u003e

"You also said that the investment in "Band of Brothers" is larger than that of "Dark Angel", so they can go to the UK for on-site shooting, while we can only build the set in the studio.... Cameron shrugged: \u003c /p\u003e

"This is not a reason, Jamie. Investment and production efficiency are not necessarily proportional or inversely proportional. Specific things need to be analyzed in detail. Besides," Adrian raised his head and looked around, "Your set here is also very large. The inside of the shed is very spacious, with a huge steel frame standing in the middle of the wide pool, which looks like a ship moored in the sea. This is the power of the studio, especially now that cg technology is becoming more and more mature. As long as there is funds, it is possible to build buildings and scenery here that look like real ones, anywhere in the world. \u003c/p\u003e

But Cameron was not satisfied with this: "What kind of scale is this? If I were to direct, such a rough set would not be used at all."\u003c/p\u003e

Adrian couldn't help laughing, this is indeed what Cameron would say. \u003c/p\u003e

"Okay, I'm going to see the heroine." Glancing at the pool, Adrian patted him on the shoulder and walked over. \u003c/p\u003e

The girl in a blanket who came out of the water is holding a cup of hot water and drinking in small sips, so as to dispel the chill on her body. It is still relatively cold in Los Angeles in January, especially in the studio. This kind of space is big enough but airy. She hasn't changed much from her previous appearance, and her facial features haven't fully opened yet, but the charm of the mixed blood has been initially revealed, and her figure is indeed very good. \u003c/p\u003e

"How do you feel...Jessica?" Adrian said in greeting. \u003c/p\u003e

"Mr. Adrian?" Jessica? After seeing the voice, Alba raised his head and smiled in surprise. \u003c/p\u003e

"Call me Adrian or Ed... The shot just now is very good, especially when jumping into the water, it is very vigorous. I really didn't expect you to do this action yourself.\u003c/p\u003e

"Adrian said seriously.\u003c/p\u003e

"Thank you..." The girl Si Han was very sweet, "I just want to work hard to do better....\u003c/p\u003e

"Very good, this is the mentality that an excellent actor should have..." Adrian praised, and then pointed to her wet hair... "It's better to go to the trailer to dry your hair and change clothes, don't get sick, and Those wet clothes must be uncomfortable."\u003c/p\u003e

"Okay, I'll go now." Jessica nodded immediately, and was about to turn around to leave but stopped, hesitated, and then walked up to Adrian and whispered: "Thank you, Ah Mr. Derian."\u003c/p\u003e

"You know?" Adrian raised his eyebrows in surprise. \u003c/p\u003e

"Yes, I heard the conversation between Mr. Cameron and the director..." Jessica stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, "I really appreciate you, Mr. Adrian."\u003c/p\u003e

"No need to do this, I just think you have the potential for development. In fact, anyone has the potential for development. The difference lies in whether they work hard. You have done a good job on this, Jessica." Adrian smiled slightly, and then Before the girl opened her mouth, she reminded, "I've said it many times, call me Adrian or Ed."\u003c/p\u003e

"Okay, sir... Ed, I will always work hard." Jessica stuck out her tongue cutely again, and then walked towards the trailer. \u003c/p\u003e

After watching her go in, Adrian turned around and was about to leave the studio of "Dark Angel of the Last Days". As for Jessica? Alba, he wasn't too worried, as long as he continued his good start like now, it was enough. With his current status and power, as long as she was still working hard in the entertainment circle, she couldn't escape his grasp . \u003c/p\u003e

By the way, as far as I remember, she seems to have made a dance-related movie. Although the box office wasn't very good, she showed off her figure perfectly, which can be regarded as a bright start in her film career. Maybe you can consider finding someone to produce it. As for the script, sometimes I recall the outline and hand it over to the screenwriter. Anyway, the original script is not very good, and he doesn’t care if it makes money:\u003c/p\u003e

Of course, these things cannot be done in one go. Besides, he still needs time to slowly get in touch with this beautiful mixed-race girl, so it is more important to deal with the matter in front of him now. One waited calmly in Adrian for almost a Yue's person finally appeared in his office. \u003c/p\u003e

"Please sit down, Mr. Spears." Adrian made a gesture of invitation to the middle-aged man in front of him. \u003c/p\u003e

"Thank you, Mr. Kewell." The other party sat down with a smile on his face. \u003c/p\u003e

Although he was wearing a decent suit, his hair was well combed, and he tried his best to maintain a calm expression, he could still tell from the slight movement of his throat from time to time, the gesture of reaching out to unbutton his neckline after entering the office, the twitching corners of his mouth when he laughed, and The vibrato in his voice could tell his state of mind. \u003c/p\u003e

"Would you like something to drink?" Adrian continued to ask, and then pressed the communicator without waiting for an answer: "Two cups of latte, Chaffey, thank you."\u003c/p\u003e

Charlize walked in quickly with her coffee, all in shape. The l dress showed her curves perfectly, so that James? Spears couldn't help but keep his eyes on her naked nipples. Although he reacted quickly, this action did not escape Adrian's gaze, which made his smile more meaningful. \u003c/p\u003e

"Is there anything I can do for you, Mr. Spears?" Adrian asked again. \u003c/p\u003e

"Ah? Oh, that's right, Mr. Cowell, I... I am very grateful to you for raising Britney, we love her very much, love her very much..." Spears calmed down and then opened his mouth. He stuttered a little at first, but he spoke more and more smoothly later on, repeatedly emphasizing "I love my daughter very much and I will not let her get hurt...", with a look of excitement flashing in his eyes from time to time and...a little bit of difficulty Perceived greed. \u003c/p\u003e

Adrian's smile became more sarcasm, and the moment Spears paused, he suddenly asked: "A question, Mr. Spears, what if... isn't in California?" X! ! ! \u003c/p\u003e
