The world is so big, I want to see it. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

If an actor is always mixed in China, it is impossible to reach the top, only by really going out and seeing the real world's top film production.

The best actors and directors in the world dare not say that they are all in Hollywood, but the world's most dominant, industrialized, and profitable film must be in Hollywood.

Therefore, if an actor wants to reach the top, there is only one place like Hollywood.

George, this guy is Ye Ming's leader in Hollywood, and his agent is looking for jobs for artists, so this time he came, naturally for Universal Movies.

At this moment, in the car, George said as if he had thought of something: "Ye, by the way, there is one thing I want to remind you, that is, on such a problem, you should be looking for a manager." ”

This is a suggestion given to Ye Ming by George as an agent, and Ye Ming thought about it for a while: "An agent is necessary, but do you think I must have a manager?" In fact, Ye Ming himself understands that agents and managers are different, and these are two completely different concepts in Hollywood.

If it's an agent, it's the kind of person who finds a job for an actor and takes a job, which is the kind that the actors' union needs to be assessed and recognized. Not only movie stars, but also sports stars have their own agents.

And the manager is a little different, the existence of the manager is to help the artist plan his future, that is to say, what kind of performance style an actor himself has, what kind of route he wants to take, whether it is funny, retro, or serious, kung fu.

Wait, these may mean that the actors themselves are not very clear, but if they can't figure it out, it may be very harmful to their development in Hollywood. Therefore, in such a situation, a manager is needed to help him, and that is the necessity of the long-term.

is a Hollywood superstar like Nicolas Cage, and there must be no manager like this if he survives at the Oscar level.

If Cage has a qualified manager, it means that he will definitely not degenerate to the extent that he often shoots bad movies.

Cage obviously does not have his own professional manager, and does not know that in such a clear of his own development goals, the goal is the same.

George said with great certainty: "This is almost certain, after all, it means that at such a time you are a junior node in Hollywood, or you have passed the threshold of newcomers, but you are still a relatively unfamiliar kind of actor in Hollywood, anyway, you have to be careful."

Therefore, in such a situation, you need a qualified manager to come here, and the job of a manager is to help you plan what kind of route you will take in the future, Hollywood actors do not say that all managers have managers, but as long as you have the ambition to become a superstar, then at such a time, a qualified manager is very necessary. ”

At this time, George said something like this, it is quite understandable, and in fact, it is true, if it is said that Ye Ming wants to become a superstar, it must be said that he will have to go through the level of manager.

Ye Ming hesitated for a moment and said, "Do all Hollywood superstars have managers? For example, the top superstars in the 20 million salary club." ”

Ye Ming naturally didn't say that he had no ambitions, but that in such a situation, he seemed to be very confident, so he wanted to pay attention to what this matter was like in Hollywood.

George nodded very affirmatively and said: "This is inevitable, as long as you want to become a superstar, then how you go, what kind of route you take, the manager will give you a reasonable answer."

In a place like Hollywood, of course, not everyone has a manager, but superstars basically have managers to help them plan.

For example, Kobe Bryant came to Huaxia, it was also planned by the team, and the purpose of coming was naturally not entirely to make money, but in fact, everyone is really doing it like this, I think if you want to become a superstar, then on such a problem, it is still necessary to ask your own manager. Those in the 20 million salary club dare not say that everyone has a manager, but at least, everyone has had. ”

When it comes to a stage like a superstar, the existence of a manager like this is relatively nonexistent. And at such a time, there is no big problem with whether there is a manager or not. But the current win has not reached the point of superstardom.

Ye Ming nodded at this time and said, "Okay, since that's the case, then I think it's better for me to find a manager to give myself an explanation." ”

The point is to say that there is still a point at such a time, that is, on such a problem, Ye Ming suddenly thought of what George said, which may be very reasonable. For example, in a situation like this, can things be taken care of?

That's almost an impossible problem, so at such a time, Ye Ming's idea of his development in Hollywood is not very smooth.

Therefore, hearing that the manager is working like this, Ye Ming also nodded and agreed.

But he immediately realized what he said: "If I find a manager, does it mean that it has great potential for my development?" But if such a manager says to appear, aren't you afraid that he will snatch your job?

Although it is very beneficial for me to do this, it is actually a little disadvantageous for you to speak, in such a matter. ”

George said with great certainty, "You can rest assured about such a thing, if it is a person I want to clean up, then there is still no way to avoid it in this world, at least in the entertainment industry." At a point like this, you may not really understand the difference between a manager and a broker.

Needless to say, the agent is looking for a job for the artist, but the manager is in charge of the artist's development.

And that's not to say that every job is mutually influential. And brokers and managers are such a existence. It's impossible for the two of them to get together. Managers can't find jobs for artists, but give them spiritual guidance.

Managers are not able to do the work of a broker, and it is generally impossible for a broker to do the work of a manager. This has its own rules in Hollywood, and no matter what you think, then everyone will not touch these rules casually.

This is Hollywood, so everyone is doing their own thing on a question like this, not that there is any actual controversy. Finding a manager is very helpful for your future career, at least I think, you need to have a manager now. ”

As Ye Ming's agent, he naturally said that he had to think about Ye Ming's future. In such a situation, in fact, if Ye Ming can develop better, George will also take a higher commission. This is also an important reason why the superstar's commission is relatively low.

Because the superstar's commission is hundreds of thousands at a time, or even millions is not impossible. Therefore, the commission of superstars may generally be about the same as the entire salary of those second- and third-rate stars.

And at this moment, in the hotel, Universal's producer Alexander is sitting with a bald guy, and at this time, it can be seen that the bald guy's mood is not very good, it can be said that it is a bad kind, and he looks very unhappy with everyone.

At this moment, the bald guy said with some complaints, "Alexander, you haven't said anything about this matter, let a Chinese person be the protagonist of the movie, even if it is said that it has never appeared in my second-rate crew, not to mention that this time it is a top-level investment." I think you'd just give your opinion. ”

Alexander smiled and said: "Cohen, my friend, do you think I didn't say anything? You are wrong, in fact, at the beginning, I also disagreed with such an opinion, if you say yes, Chinese people are generally kung fu movies are good shots, like Cheng and Li." But in fact, there is a certain reason why Ye Ming can appear in our crew.

That's not one reason I've got my control. ”

As a producer, he actually said that there are some things that his crew may not be able to do, and at this point, that is to say, it is a bit shocking.

If it is to face Tom Cruise and Will Smith and other top Hollywood superstars, then Alexander can still convince himself of such a thing, but now it is obvious that Ye Ming is not such a person, Ye Ming is in Hollywood, and it is good to be regarded as a second-tier star who has just gained a firm foothold.

Therefore, at this time, Alexander actually said the same thing in his crew that he couldn't deny Ye Ming, and Alexander's depressed mood at this time can be imagined.

But there is nothing I can do about it, Cohen is a little incredulous and said, "Is this possible, you are a producer, is there anything in Hollywood that a filmmaker can't do?"

This is Cohen's suspicion, the producer, in the crew, dare not say that the wind and rain are called, but they also have considerable power. Thus, on such a question, Cohen expressed serious doubts about Alexander's words.

Alexander swore and said, "I am not lying about this, after all, I am saying that on such a question, I myself have asked this question in depth." In fact, why did Universal shoot such a road movie this time, do you know?"

Cohen immediately said: "It is said that the last time I shot a kilometer film around the world, I lost money, and I lost at least 20 million dollars, so in order to boost morale, I will shoot a road movie again." ”

Alexander immediately smiled and said, "No, do you think that all the guys in the selection team are fools? Even if the people in the selection team are fools, a genre of movies loses money, and if they reinvest in a movie, they still choose the same genre film?"

This is almost an unlikely thing in Hollywood, most of Hollywood's movies are commercial films, the first condition for commercial films is to make money, what kind of genre films make money, then Hollywood's funds are easier to invest in what movies.

Of course, if it is said that on such a problem, a movie loses money very badly, then it is impossible for anyone to reinvest in similar movies in a short period of time.

This is a risk-averse factor. Therefore, at this time, after Universal lost money in its own company's road movie, it immediately invested in continuing to shoot one, which was impossible not to arouse everyone's suspicion at this time.

As a director, Cohen has not been in Hollywood for a year or two, so he still has a relatively good understanding of such a thing. Alexander's words stunned him, people around the world are indeed not so stupid, therefore, Cohen immediately said, "Why is this?"

Alexander looked around, obviously cautious to see if anyone was eavesdropping, but this was in the hotel, in his room, it seemed that no one was eavesdropping, and it was just the two of them in the room.

At this time, Alexander said: "Actually, I have heard about such a thing myself, because the world needs money laundering." No matter what kind of box office it is, even if it is like the last road movie filmed, even if it loses at least 20 million, it is nothing to Universal, this is for money laundering after all.

If you can make money, that's the best, if you can't make money, then there's nothing to do with such a problem. Of course, if the box office can be a big hit, it can also make money, which is a two-way thing. ”

At this time, Cohen is a living hell, money laundering, I went, it was actually for money laundering, so it turned out to be so, since this is the case, then at this good time, some things have become very easy to explain.

Money laundering does not mean that there is no box office, but whether the box office is profitable, which is not a completely important thing for money launderers.

They just want to legalize their money. (To be continued.) )
