Ace Hollywood

"I need to fight for it." Kusa smiled and looked at Melissa, "Melissa, thank you for cleaning up the mess for me."

"It's not a mess. Didn't you see that those people in CAA have red eyes." Melissa seemed very open-minded, "When you asked me if I would like to work with Daniel, I agreed, but I didn't expect to come to be a big broker Man, to be honest, I've been really stressed out during this time, and I know a lot of my real work has been done by Daniel, and even so, I feel like it's getting more and more stressful. Cusa, even if you If I don't look back, I will also mention this issue to Daniel. He needs a more capable big manager. Although I am not happy to judge myself in this way, I still have to be honest. I am not ready to be an A cafe now. So, I think, if that’s the case, you can come back and rejoin the team.”

While listening to Melissa, Daniel weighed the pros and cons. The trouble Kusa brought before was not very important, because it was all over, but Daniel had to consider the troubles that might arise later, even if he really thought Kusa Sa is the most suitable candidate, they cooperate tacitly and happily.

"Danny," Kusa nodded towards Melissa, expressing his gratitude for her support, "I understand your concerns, but few people put gangsters on the table, because few people are clean, if I don't think it's necessary for you to be concerned about this, and even in the worst case, my own resume is enough to clear your suspicions—you just hired a top student from Duke University, and you don't know New York City at all. The gang thing, it makes sense, or at least makes sense."

Kusa's explanation was very convincing, and Daniel nodded decisively after thinking about it for a while.

...

The meeting between Daniel and Kevin Gowley came in a hurry. Before that, Kevin pushed three times and then Daniel hung CAA. With the return of Kusa, this meeting became a bit meaningful.

Of course Kevin knew about Kusa's return to CAA, but it was surprising that he was recognized by Daniel and became Daniel's only big manager again.

Eno Martin persuaded several senior partners, including Kevin, but did not say too clearly which party's strength made him decide to re-accept Kusa Damon. So Kevin didn't have a good look at Kusa. In his mind, if Kusa really had some unattainable power behind him, he wouldn't have worked so hard to become CAA's agent again.

Therefore, he expressed his dissatisfaction in person.

"Daniel, you still insist that Kusa is your sole agent? Don't forget how embarrassed you were when he left. I really don't want to remind you, but you are indeed a little forgetful." Drinking coffee, not arguing with him.

Daniel had a good time, and he was willing to make a decision. Since he decided to accept Kusa again, of course he would not overturn the previous consensus.

"Kevin, Melissa will also take on part of my brokerage, you know, she's doing a great job, I'm not going to fire her."

This is purely playing dumb.

Melissa and Kusa are not at the same level, and of course there is no de facto long brokerage.

"This time, if Kusa leaves again, Melissa and I will be much more relaxed."

In fact, ever since he got the news from Daniel, Kevin knew that this would be the result. When Daniel chose to hand over everything to Kusa Damon, he also tried to persuade him many times, but it was all in vain. This time Daniel chose Kusa again,

As a successful manager, Kevin naturally understands Daniel's choice. Now that he has decided to abandon the past, there is no need to change course and cause instability in cooperation with both parties.

Thinking of those top managers who had stretched Daniel before, Kevin felt secretly refreshed.

He has always been very optimistic about Daniel, and even before Eno Martin treated Cusa Damon differently, he provided some convenience for Daniel, including the house where Daniel lives now, which was still contacted by Kevin. Therefore, when Daniel hoped to find a temporary agent, he really did his best, but Kim Payson and the others didn't give him face.

Now, they probably lost a lot of face.

With the spread of the influence of "Gladiator", Daniel's position has gradually stabilized. His commercial value is already very objective, and because Daniel has been deliberately self-controlling the brand endorsement, this has attracted many brands to him. .

This principle is easy to understand. It is natural for Hollywood actresses to show their flesh in movies, but if you show up later, it will be more expensive, and the corresponding chips will be heavier.

The same is true for endorsements. If you endorse a lot of third-rate brands, it will be difficult for you to be favored by top brands, unless you have achieved excellence, which is itself a symbol of the top, which is another matter.

In addition to commercial value, the opportunities that Daniel can attract, including film and television, some social activities, etc., are also attractive to CAA to start the script.

You must know that the magic weapon of CAA is bundling.

A rising B-level star, or even a quasi-A-level star, is already a competitive resource for CAA. In other words, if the film studio chooses Daniel, CAA can definitely recommend a few more newcomers. This is the management ability the most intuitive manifestation of .

Against this background, the alliance of those people has long been loosened.

Daniel's rejection of Kim Payson does not mean that he will reject them, so Kevin will meet with Daniel. Daniel's reaction is also in his expectation. Now that the initiative has changed hands, Daniel wants to gain more advantages. Of course, there are circumstances Excuse me.

But unexpectedly, this waited and waited, instead of waiting for Daniel, it waited until the return of Kusa Damon.

Kevin could almost imagine the faces of those people.

Although they all have clients who are more famous and famous than Daniel, but not talking about potential, not all of them can surpass Daniel in terms of commercial value alone. It's one thing to divide it up, whether it's coffee position or seniority, but it's another thing in many cases, such as Meryl Streep, she is definitely one of the top actresses in Hollywood , but the commercial value, even the film salary, not to mention Julia Roberts and Cameron Diaz, even Angelina Jolie, Drew Barrymore, and Meryl are hard to come by. nape. For brokers, commercial value is of course important, or very important, which is directly related to their dividends.

During the period when Melissa was Daniel's agent, she received hundreds of thousands of dollars from Daniel's business activities-Meryl's agent must not have such a fate.

In any case, Eno Martin's acquiescence and Daniel's insistence made things less room for negotiation.

Kevin could only sneer at Kusa's ability to bewitch, and then divide Daniel's affairs according to the division of labor, and let each department of the company hand over to Kusa.

So, a week later, it was Cusa Damon sitting in front of Jerry Bruckheimer.

He's here for Black Hawk Down.
