Superstar

"I want to see the scene." Hugo sat at the dining table, eating bacon on his plate, exclaiming, "The flying paper, the jaw-dropping expression, the rattling atmosphere... People who don’t know thought they were making a movie."

Rick really had a domineering attitude, and he spilled the information in the entire briefcase. This trick was even more direct than slapping Marvin directly on the face. It is estimated that the atmosphere inside the entire International Jianxin Management Company today is very good. It's weird.

"Rick said, those are all useless scripts, and he has already faxed the real information." Joseph explained, he walked over with the coffee pot and filled Hugo's cup.

Hugo was not surprised at all. He reminded Rick that if Rick still doesn't know how to work, he would be completely stupid. Therefore, even if Rick didn't transfer all the data out, he couldn't foolishly leave with the data. This was expected.

"Haha, those people who were deceived by Rick, I guess they are all distressed." Carl was also a rare gloat. He is not a joke person, but as long as he thinks of the man on the twenty-third floor at that time With that kind of atmosphere, he couldn't help but want to clap his hands and applaud, "Even the movie is not that spectacular!" Carl couldn't help but sigh again, "Thousands of papers fluttered out, and then the wind blew, twenty Looking at it from the third floor, it feels like the whole world is floating with blank paper, tusk..."

"Is this serious? It was reported by the Los Angeles Times today." Alex is rather ignorant of these things. Although he knows what happened, he has never felt the seriousness. In fact, this is also because actors like Alex and Charlize have not yet reached the qualifications to enter the game, so they don't have such strong feelings.

Hugo raised his eyebrows. "Are they so leisurely?"

Samora sat aside and just opened the newspaper, Hugo leaned over, and Charlize, who was sitting opposite, also leaned over. Everyone cast a curious look.

Sure enough, I saw a press release, which is actually news with pictures. This is really rare, but the pictures are not a spectacular scene of paper flying in the sky, but the gate of the International Jianxin Management Company. The news only briefly introduced the internal contradictions of the International Jianxin Management Company, and then mentioned that Rick Rosen had been swept out, thinking that the brokerage industry would be turbulent in the next period of time.

At first glance, I knew that the reporter hadn't dug too much inside information. Hugo swept his eyes, and the sign was not Nicholas McLenna, and he immediately showed a clear expression: No wonder this guy hasn't called himself up until now.

"Hollywood is just that big, and our company is also a top player. This kind of major event must be paid attention to. It's normal." Joseph is not surprised by media reports. "But they are not too interested in insider. You Didn't you see? Except for Rick, nothing else was mentioned at all."

"It's okay if you don't mention it, or there will be a lot of trouble, and Marvin will also be on guard." Carl said, "Otherwise, Marvin will know who is leaving among the senior agents, and this matter will be even worse." Having said this, Carl couldn't help but look at Joseph. "Rick really said that three of the senior agents are willing to leave with him?"

At present, there are only 18 senior agents in the senior management of the International Jianxin Management Company. Everyone has a good hand, even if it is not a top-notch. After all, the superstars are one of the few in Hollywood, but they are the first-line artists in their hands. Or the star of tomorrow, neither can be underestimated. It is a very important force.

If four senior partners, including Rick himself, can leave the self-employed portal, then the success rate of the new company is bound to be improved by several levels.

Joseph nodded, "That's what Rick told me, but let's just watch the changes. Who knows how to develop afterwards." After that, Joseph glanced at Hugo, couldn't help but smiled, and then looked away. Got out.

Since Hugo wants to invest in a new company, the relationship between Rick and Hugo is very delicate. Rick and Hugo made special calls. Joseph didn't know the content of the call. He guessed that Rick would show Hugo some of his cards. However, Joseph didn't want to know, nor did he want others to know.

This is not a question of trust or distrust, but a lot of people, and sometimes it is normal to accidentally say that you miss your mouth. Therefore, before the dust settles, the less people know, the safer it is. Therefore, Joseph himself did not ask Hugo, nor did he tell others about Hugo's plans to invest in Rick, as if in this incident, they played just ordinary side-by-side roles.

In fact, Rick did show his cards to Hugo, not because he trusted Hugo, but because of the wisdom that Hugo showed twice before and after yesterday afternoon, which made Rick shine, and he also exists. He was tentative, so he showed his cards to Hugo, and wanted to see how Hugo would react.

This time it's midnight politics. During the change, there are still three senior partners who plan to leave the company with Rick, namely Ali Emmanuel, David Greenblatt (. Greenblatt) and Tom Strickler (. Greenblatt). strykerle). These three people, like Rick, are senior agents with full wings. Ali and Rick are on the same level. David and Tom have gradually become the backbone. Their strength cannot be underestimated.

In addition, three other senior partners of other small brokerage companies also expressed their willingness to invest in the new company. Together with other capable brokers, the new company can have 27 brokers when it is initially established. These include Karl Earl and Henry Bloom; among them, nine are senior partners-the first batch of shareholders, which already includes Hugo.

Generally speaking, a company that currently has 70 brokers in Hollywood can be regarded as a large brokerage company-currently there are only four, in addition to the three, the United Elite Company established in 1991, but the current United Elite The company is still in the development stage, and there is still a gap between the three major standards, so people have not included it in the real large-scale brokerage company category.

Judging from Rick's plan, the new company started as a medium-sized brokerage company, but there is still a long way to develop in the future.

If nothing else, this is the prototype of Endeavour Elite Company. Although Hugo knows that Endeavour Elite Company will be one of the five largest brokerage companies in Hollywood in the future, it seems that it is full of difficulties and numerous internal and external troubles. Arrangements, office building arrangements, etc. are all top priorities; the suppression from the International Jianxin Management Company, coupled with the squeeze from other medium-sized brokerage companies, is worrying.

Sure enough, the sword industry has never been a simple matter.

Hugo did not notice Joseph’s eyes, but he also knew that these things could not be said without telling them. Anyway, when things were successful, everyone would know. Now they knew it and couldn’t help, so Hugo moved. Asked the topic, "By the way, did Rick mention Lang's whereabouts?"

Hugo only remembered after he hung up Rick's phone, how Ron Meyer had disappeared during this incident, and he was almost invisible, as if he had disappeared at all.

Joseph nodded, but his eyes were a little cautious, "Lang left the company and he took over the chief operating officer of Universal Pictures."

In fact, the relationship between Lang and Hugo has always been bad. Later, because of the improvement of Hugo's career, Lang seemed to avoid the limelight, and the frontal confrontation with Hugo seemed to disappear overnight. But now it seems that Lang has not disappeared, but has a new goal and started planning. If Lang became the chief operating officer of Universal Pictures, everything can be explained.

As soon as Joseph’s words came out, everyone calmed down and seemed to realize the importance of the position of "Chief Operating Officer." If you think about it further, the relationship between Tracy and Universal Pictures has always been very good. Lang is able to enter Universal Pictures, does Tracy have any credit for it?

Of course, these are all speculations and cannot be verified at all.

Hugo saw the weight of everyone, but chuckled, "In fact, this is a good thing. The relationship between the agent and the artist, the relationship between the production company and the artist, these are two completely different connections. ."

It can be said that the agent is dependent on the artist to live, and the artist's work is smooth, they can nourish; but the production company and the artist are mutually restricted. The artist is one of the tools to make money for them, only one of the links. This difference in connection will inevitably lead to a change in the way Lang and Hugo get along.

Hugo knows ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ They are actually worried that after Lang becomes the chief operating officer of Universal Pictures, Universal Pictures will definitely not be the first choice in the selection of actors in the future. Although it will not be blocked, it is difficult. Increase, this is to be expected. In other words, Lang has the upper hand now, because he can control whether Hugo plays or not.

But Hugo's thinking angle is different, so he doesn't worry too much. Joseph also said, "Lang needs to consider the interests of Universal Pictures, and he has more constraints. He certainly can't do as he wants as before. When he is under greater pressure, in fact, he and Hugo have a different way of getting along. It will change."

Joseph now sees the problem clearly and clearly, and the overall situation is more obvious, so he only paused for a while and understood the profound meaning from Hugo's words.

To put it simply, brokers are profit first, but they are for the artist's sake, with the artist as the core; while the big production company is profit first, and Lang can't refuse it in the face of absolute interests. So, on the surface, Lang has the upper hand, but in fact, he also has more demand at the same time. It is still unpredictable how the future will develop. (To be continued [provided].
