Legendary Hollywood Director

Chapter 509: question

James Sywhite looked back at the luxurious manor in front of him, feeling very lonely.

The ability and vision to be questioned just now may become the experience he is most unwilling to recall.

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

"Signing an agreement with the crew of "Enemies in Love" is your biggest mistake..."

"Even if the movie is profitable, there is almost no return for me. It's all cheaper for the theater chain and investors, and even the director and producer..."

"After the revenue didn't meet expectations, I didn't pay attention to guide fans reasonably. The characters didn't look good, and I spent millions of dollars to reduce the impact..."

"In the filming of "The Rival of All People's Love", you lost more than you gained. Originally, these were all avoidable, but all of your negligence in decision-making..."

These words were said by Will Smith in front of caa executives. James did not dare and could not refute a sentence, and could only wait quietly for his fate.

Yes, the agent sounds good, and he is still a caa agent, but he seldom knows how much pressure he needs to face for this status.

Not to mention that it took five years in the mail room to become the lowest-level broker.

But even if they are high-level brokers, their status is still unequal in the eyes of these big names.

With a contract of 10 to 20 million yuan at every turn, there are millions of achievements just by taking it, but every time the choice fails, it will bring about changes in the work.

Or to put it another way, caa is the fastest company to change brokers - Jim Carrey has changed five terms in two years.

Of course, these people don't want to leave caa, they just change their team to serve, so caa usually stands on the customer's side.

Anyway, in order to get huge profits, contacts, and influence, caa's brokers are basically scared to do things.

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

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

Then, when James returned to five years ago, he became an agent with no big-name clients and no special care from the company. This is his punishment for this.

Just after his desolate departure, in the luxurious manor, Charles Andrews was chatting 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. Whether it can be accomplished or not depends on Lehman."

After Will-Smith felt the benefit of director Ryman's work again, he couldn't help but want to cooperate.

"I know that if you bring it up, you will have a chance."

caa does not force customers to complete anything. Of course, if they do, they can leave.

For these people who have already stood at the top of their respective fields, many rules cannot be bound. For example, Will Smith himself wants to break away from caa is also a very easy thing.

The reason why this is not the case is not because there is no good place to leave caa.

How much more can the other brokerage companies give?

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

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

But Will Smith knows that his only contact with Lyman is caa, and it won't be awkward to invite him through caa.

"I've met him a few times, but he certainly doesn't take him too seriously." Will said: "I hope that if there is news about his new project, I can mention it a little bit. I am very willing to cooperate with him, and the salary can be negotiated. ."

"If you want to convince him, salary is not the point." Charles shook his head and said, "He has his own production company, and now he has distribution channels. Maybe next year, he will make more money than DreamWorks two or three years ago. But , I will convey the intention of cooperation, just don't hold out too much hope."

Now the unified thought of the top inside caa is to try to cooperate with Lehman, not only because of the income, but also because of the attractiveness of such a director to the actors-although the main actor and main character are all chosen by Lehman, but those small roles are all packaged by caa Go in, and for a lot of actors, it's also very appealing.

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

After all, if there is no project content, where would the actors and stars come from?

"Ok…"

At this time, Lyman once again came to the digital realm.

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

After getting this share, Lehman has successively acquired a share of 67% of the digital field. Undoubtedly the largest shareholder.

"Brandy?" Scott asked. "Or wine."

At the dinner table, several shareholder representatives also came.

Scott set up the wine bureau, naturally, to talk about the future operation of the company.

As for these representatives, they actually all supported Scott, which is why the board rejected Cameron.

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

After all, what we talked about before was intimate, so UU reading www.uukanshu.com can no longer be on guard...

"So, Lehmann, you already know about the current state of the digital field. Can you tell me what you think?"

Lehman smiled and found Scott's careful thinking very interesting, "I don't understand the management of the company. In fact, the daily operations of Firefly Pictures are now handled by Joseph, and I am only in charge of project development. So, Let the professionals answer it.”

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

Joseph nodded politely and said, "Mr. Ross, we all agree that you will continue to serve as an executive officer. The shareholders of the board of directors, including Lehmann, are also sure that your talents can lead to better development in the digital field. But..."

Speaking of this, Joseph glanced at Lehman slightly, but Lehman didn't seem to care at all.

"We are very sincere in recognizing the value of the digital field, but some things still need to be explained a little, and it is also for our long-term friendship. After all, all of you here do not want to sell the digital field completely, and they all retain a certain share. , and we have not mentioned the reorganization of the board of directors, but how can we protect the rights and interests of major shareholders? Mr. Ross, what do you think?"

"It's true at first glance, and it's a little unfair, but I believe that the current situation of the board of directors is the most conducive to the management of the company."
