Hollywood starts with a broker

#9 - Potential comedian

Soon, Aaron Anderson signed his second artist, Nicole Kidman, who was also Aaron's first actor.

Because Nicole Kidman still had to promote her film "Dead Calm", Aaron Anderson, as her agent, quickly started working!

CAA's current clientele mainly consists of film producers, directors, actors, and screenwriters, plus singers and writers, totaling over 600 people.

However, the number of agents is small. Even Michael Ovitz personally manages over thirty important clients.

Newcomers like Aaron Anderson and Jack Welles, who have passed the mailroom trial period, have to share the management of several artists.

However, the focus is slightly different. Aaron is more focused on screening projects for clients, provided that the clients assigned to him have projects!

Jack Welles, watching Aaron Anderson casually put aside personnel files, widened his eyes and asked, "Don't you like any of them?"

Aaron nodded, "Some Hollywood marginal figures, I can't see much potential in them."

Jack Welles smiled, "Otherwise, why would they be left to newcomers like us without backing!"

"There's a young writer from "Saturday Night Live" who's wondering if you're interested. He also often makes guest appearances on the show."

As he spoke, Jack Welles handed Aaron another file, Adam Sandler, 23 years old!

"Saturday Night Live" is a comedy show under NBC TV, with high ratings and great fame in the United States.

At the same time, some matters of "Saturday Night Live" are directly reported to Michael Ovitz, after all, too many famous people have come out of this show.

Aaron looked at it. Adam Sandler joined "Saturday Night Live" last year as a writer. Because he was a stand-up comedian in his early years, he also performs on stage after joining "Saturday Night Live", so he is considered a promising newcomer.

"What's wrong with him?"

Jack Welles shrugged, "He left with his agent, Ari Emanuel, and is now a signed artist with ITA;"

"Now our CAA is suppressing ITA. If you can poach him, it will be considered a meritorious service."

It turned out that ITA was established last year by two people who defected and started their own business. Aaron showed a mocking expression. Didn't CAA also defect from WMA?

How two-faced, well, interesting!

"I heard that Ari Emanuel is a young agent that CAA is very optimistic about, right?" Aaron asked.

"Yes, he, Richard Lovett, Kevin Huvane, Bryan Lourd, David O'Connor, and Jay Moloney are all the backbone of CAA's younger generation!"

Aaron stood up, "Okay, I'm quite optimistic about this Adam Sandler, leave it to me."

The entertainment industry is inherently filled with interests, bribes, betrayals, transactions, and threats, and brokerage firms are the best of them.

"By the way, the project you asked me to pay attention to that needs a young actress has some leads," Jack Welles handed Aaron another document.

"Touchstone Pictures, a subsidiary of Disney, is preparing a low-budget romantic comedy, maybe you can take your newcomer to try it out!"

Aaron took it over and looked at it. It was a story about a rich man and a streetwalker, named "3000".

A successful rich man paid a streetwalker $3,000 for a week, and then fell in love during the process of getting along?

"Thanks," Aaron nodded. This should be the future "Pretty Woman", but the story is still very dark now.

Disney's situation should be to modify it to be more fairy-tale!

Alright, it's quite suitable for Nicole Kidman to play, but how to fight for it?

As the Oscar nomination banquet was held at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills, "Rain Man" led with eight nominations.

At the same time, as a thorough CAA packaged project, it further enhanced CAA's power!

At night, the neon lights of Los Angeles flickered, and the sins and darkness of the city were covered up by prosperity. A Chevrolet stopped at the entrance of a bar on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood.

Aaron Anderson, wearing blue jeans with a white T-shirt, and a black casual suit jacket, got out of the car, took his big brother and entered the bar!

Soon, he saw Adam Sandler, the person he had an appointment with, sitting at the bar.

"Two beers!" Aaron went straight over and sat next to him. The bartender looked at Aaron's age and was about to say something.

But he saw Aaron throw out a 10 US dollar bill directly, "Keep them coming when I finish drinking!"

The bartender smiled and quickly brought two glasses of beer and put them down.

"Are you Aaron Anderson?" Adam Sandler asked.

"Cheers," Aaron nodded, then picked up his glass and touched the other party's.

"What are you looking for me for?"

"I want to sign you," Aaron said, while staring at some Japanese tycoons in the dance floor,

"I think you are a promising talent. Staying in ITA is just waiting to die. Return to CAA and move closer to the direction of a comedy star;"

"With your comedic talent, I think you should be able to become popular!"

Adam Sandler was a little helpless, "I have a contract with my agent."

Aaron's expression was casual, "You signed with Ari Emanuel in May last year. Newcomers only have a one-year validity period. You can just not renew it when the time comes;"

"Ari Emanuel's future is over. ITA will be suppressed by CAA in all aspects in the future. This is a joint decision made by Michael Ovitz and Ronald Meyer."

Soon, Aaron finished a glass, and the bartender wisely handed over another glass, "When the time comes, you can find inspiration from "Saturday Night Live" to create scripts, and I will help you promote them!"

Adam Sandler was stunned, "Can you really convince CAA to develop my script?"

"Otherwise what? CAA originally has a packaged project business, as long as the script is attractive," Aaron knew Adam Sandler's abilities;

In the future, he will be a big name in the American comedy world!

I don't know where Jim Carrey is now?

"Okay, I understand!"

Aaron nodded and comforted: "Just call me directly if you have anything, anyway, it will be March soon;"

"As for Ari Emanuel, don't worry about what he can do, he's just a piece of trash."

Adam Sandler left quickly. Although he was worried about CAA's suppression, he was also afraid of ITA's targeting. He is just a nobody now!

There was no way, Aaron's cheap old man scolded those Wall Street Jewish vampires every day before jumping into the sea last year;

Now, Aaron doesn't have much affection for Jews either. There are many Jews in Hollywood, and even Michael Ovitz, this Jew, makes Aaron a little uncomfortable!
