Hollywood legendary director

James Saywhite looked back at the luxurious manor in front of him a little lonely, very lonely.

The ability and vision to be questioned just now may become the experience he least wants to recall.

No one would have thought that Will, a black man who was usually polite, would be so unkind.

"Signing an agreement with the crew of "The Enemy of the People" is your biggest mistake..."

"Even if the movie is profitable, it will pay almost no return to me. It is all cheaper for theaters and investors, even directors and producers..."

"After the income did not meet the expectations, I did not pay attention to rationally guide the fans. The character perception is not good, and I have to spend millions of dollars to reduce the impact..."

"Filming "The Enemy of the People", you lose more than you get. Originally, these are all avoidable. It is your negligence in decision-making..."

These words were spoken by Will Smith in front of the top of the caa. James didn't dare and couldn't refute it, and he could only quietly wait for his fate.

Yes, the agent sounds beautiful, and he is still caa's agent, but he rarely knows how much pressure he needs to face for his status.

Not to mention that after five years in the mail room, he became the lowest-level broker.

But even if they are senior brokers, they still have unequal status in the eyes of these big names.

There are ten to twenty million participating contracts at every turn, and one million can be achieved by just taking and mentioning, but every loss of choice will bring about changes in work.

In other words, caa is the fastest company to change brokers-Kim Carey changed five terms in two years.

Of course, these people don't want to leave CAA, but just change the service team, so CAA is generally on the side of the customer.

Anyway, in order to get huge profits, connections and influence, caa's agents basically do things with trepidation. Occasionally, the project succeeds and promotes to a high position; occasionally fails, and is reduced to a low-level agent and re-bets...

James Sywhite also knows that the reason why he is facing being accused is that "Rivals of the People" is just an incentive, and more importantly, Will Smith hates him.

He doesn't speak, caa actually doesn't care.

Then, James once returned to five years ago and became an agent who had no big-name clients and was not particularly taken care of by the company. This was his punishment for this.

Just after his bleak departure, in the luxurious manor, Charles Andrews was talking enthusiastically with Will Smith.

"My assistant has told you what I mean before, Charles, what do you think?"

"We can only convey your request for cooperation, and it depends on Lehman."

After Will Smith once again felt the benefits of director Lyman's work, he couldn't help but want to cooperate.

"I know, there is a chance if you can bring it up."

Caa does not force customers to complete anything, of course, if they force it, they can leave.

For these people who are already at the top of their respective fields, many rules cannot be bound, such as Will Smith, who wants to break away from CAA is also very easy.

The reason for this is not because I left caa and there is nowhere to go.

How much can other brokerage companies give?

Charles glanced at Will and said euphemistically: "If you are familiar with Lyman Last, you will know that he likes to look for actors you know to star in his works. He is very opinionated."

Well, most directors like to use their own team, why not he himself?

But Will Smith knows that his only channel of contact with Lehman is caa, and an invitation through caa will not seem obtrusive.

"I have met him a few times, but he will definitely not take it too seriously." Will said: "I hope that if there is news about his new project, I can mention it a bit. I am very willing to cooperate with him, and salary can be discussed. ."

"I want to convince him that salary is not the point." Charles shook his head: "He has a production company himself, and now he has a distribution channel. Maybe next year, he will make more money than DreamWorks two or three years ago. , I will convey my intention to cooperate, just don’t hold out too much hope."

At present, the unified thinking of the high-level inside caa is to try their best to cooperate with Lehman, not only because of the income, but also the attraction of such a director to the actors-although Lehman chooses the leading role, but those small roles are all caa's stuff. For many actors, this is also very attractive.

There is no doubt that for a brokerage company like caa, sometimes big-name directors are far more important than big-name stars.

After all, without the content of the project, where is the actor star?

"Ok……"

...

At this time Lehmann once again came to the digital field.

Cameron is eager to trade, and Lehman is also pushing the boat.

After getting this share, Lehman successively acquired a little bit of shares that had already controlled 67% of the digital field.Undoubtedly the largest shareholder.

"Brandy?" Scott asked, "still wine."

At the dinner table, several shareholder representatives also came.

Scott set up a wine bureau, naturally to talk about the company's future operations.

As for these representatives, they actually support Scott, which is why the board of directors rejected Cameron.

Of course, they are all witnesses today. It is Scott who prevents accidents from happening and can force major shareholders to make concessions by voting rights and representing the interests of shareholders.

After all, what we were talking about before was caring, and we can't stop guarding...

"So, Lehman, you have almost understood the current state of the digital field, can you tell me, do you have any ideas?"

Lehman smiled and found it interesting to Scott's careful thoughts. "I don't understand the management of the company. In fact, Joseph is responsible for the daily operations of Firefly Pictures. I am only responsible for project development. So, Let the professionals answer."

Lyman glanced at Benjamin Joseph and took a sip of brandy.

Joseph politely nodded and said: "Mr. Ross, we all approve of your continued role as an executive officer. The shareholders of the board, including Lehman, are also sure that your talents can lead to better development in the digital field. But..."

When Joseph said this, he glanced at Lehman slightly, but Lehman didn't seem to care.

"We sincerely recognize the value of the digital field, but some things still need to be said a little bit, but also for us to maintain a long-term friendship. After all, everyone in this room does not want to completely sell the digital field, and they all retain certain shares. , And we have not mentioned the reorganization of the board of directors, but how do we protect the rights and interests of major shareholders? Mr. Rose, what do you think?"

"It looks like this at first glance. It is not fair, but I believe that the current situation of the board of directors is most conducive to the management of the company."
