Aniston is naturally not a star now.

The reason why Hera's agent counted Aniston is not because of Wu Jianye's relationship, but because of others, first of all, Howard is the first agent of CAA to lead the team to pass Hera's agent, and the momentum is naturally different.

The second is to build momentum for Aniston, now the ABC TV network's project "Friends" has been officially established, and actors are recruited across the United States, and Aniston is the first actor to be confirmed, so it is natural to build momentum for "Friends"!

Now that the Phantom and CAA have made a fuss, it has spread throughout Hollywood, and the whole of North America has begun to discuss this matter, and the ABC TV network will naturally not give up this opportunity to brush up the heat.

The selection of the actors of "Friends" this time is mainly based on newcomer actors, and the popularity was not high, but now it is different, and the popularity of this matter has made this TV series immediately different from before.

At the same time, the follow-up impact of Howard's transfer to Hera's agent is also continuing, and CAA's original agent saw that Hera's agent did this as he promised, and the turmoil in his heart was even greater.

And there is also the temptation of choosing actors in "Friends", which makes many newcomer actors excited.

ABC has released the wind, this TV series will be the most important TV series of ABC this year, and the news of Wu Jianye as a screenwriter has come out.

CAA is messed up!

"Another one to leave!" Harper sat in Ovitz's office, looking very dejected, this is already the seventh agent to leave in the past few days, and there are only more than 30 agents in the entire CAA!

This is almost a devastating blow to CAA!

Ovitz has long since lost the vigor of the previous few days, and in just a few days, the wind direction of the entire Hollywood has changed, and the production companies that begged for themselves in the past are now no longer answering the phone.

CAA seems to have been abandoned by Hollywood overnight!

"This group of ungrateful people, don't panic, we haven't lost yet, as long as those top actors and directors are still there, we can turn the tables. Ovitz said through gritted teeth.

In Ovitz's view, as long as he can keep these top directors and actors, he can keep the foundation of CAA, and it won't take a few years for CAA to turn over.

Just when Ovitz was thinking about how to respond, Meyer also walked in with a panicked look: "Just now, Spielberg, Dustin Hoffman, and Tom Cruise called one after another, saying that they are not ready to renew their contracts with our company!"

Ovitz stood up and looked at Meyer in shock: "What did you say?

Meyer shook his head and said: "No, when they called me, they made it clear that they would not go to Hera to broker, but they are very optimistic about the current situation of CAA, WMA and ICM have already contacted them, and they also want to change companies!"

Ovitz sat down in his chair dejectedly, the problem he was worried about finally happened, Hera's agent poached CAA's agent, which has dealt a devastating blow to CAA, which also made outsiders see that CAA is not as strong as imagined, and those top directors and actors naturally have to think about their own future.

The more they reached such a position, the more they attached importance to their own fame, and now that the big ship of CAA was obviously unstable, they had no reason to sink with him.

If only Hera's agent is the one who deals with CAA, they may still be able to fight with CAA, but now it is obvious that CAA has united the two major brokerage companies WMA and ICM to jointly encircle and suppress CAA, so for them, there is one more option.

They won't join Hera Brokers, but that doesn't mean they can't join WMA and ICM!

In the world, I am afraid that there will be multiple choice questions when I come to a desperate situation.

It's like CAA is a big ship at this time, and there is an iceberg in front of them, if there is only one ship next to them, Hera Broker, those who have conflicts with Hera's broker may choose to chisel this iceberg with CAA, but when they see that there are two big ships WMA and ICM next to them, since they can continue to sail smoothly on the sea without digging icebergs, they don't need to help CAA chisel icebergs together!

After all, no one knows if this iceberg can be chiseled!

So at this time, WMA and ICM threw an olive branch to them, and they naturally abandoned ship one after another!

"Did you tell them that this is just a small problem for our CAA, and we can fix it!" Ovitz yelled.

Meyer said helplessly: "I have already told them, but it is useless, in recent years, with the growth of CAA, many production companies have complained a lot, this time it is not only WMA and ICM that are competing with us, but also those production companies are also contacting our customers, at this time CAA has become a public enemy of Hollywood!"

Harper said on the side: "Aren't they afraid that Hera's agent will become big this time and form control over them?"

Meyer said dejectedly: "Naturally, I'm worried, but now CAA has no way to remedy it, in their opinion, as long as the top-level resources are controlled now, then the threat of Hera's agent is not so important, after all, most of the second- and third-tier stars poached by Hera's agent this time, the real top directors and actors were snatched away by WMA and ICM, and they were already connected with these two brokerage companies......."

Ovitz hurriedly picked up the phone and first called Universal Pictures, he had helped RB's Panasonic win Universal Pictures!

"Hey, hello, I'm Michael Ovitz......."

Ovitz can't remember how long it had been since he had spoken to someone at the production company in such a tone.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ovitz, our CEO is not in the office, and he has gone back to Tokyo because of some problems with the stock market in Tokyo recently!"

However, at this time, Ovitz was not in the mood to listen to her voice, and after hanging up the phone, he immediately dialed the mobile phone number of the CEO of Universal.

As a result, no one answered.......

Then Ovitz called Twentieth Century Fox, Sony Pictures, Paramount Pictures, Disney and other major companies one after another, but the other party seemed to have discussed, the CEO is not in the company, and we will talk about any problems after the CEO comes back!

Overnight, CAA, which was in Hollywood, was suddenly abandoned by everyone!

Ovitz sat down in his seat, looked at his two partners, and asked a helpless question: "What should I do?"

Meyer: "......"

Harper: "......"

.......

"CAA is over!" Nick sat and preached to Penny in the inconspicuous villa of Beverly Hills.

This is the villa he bought himself, and Nick was paying attention to this matter when CAA** happened, and now that this big drama is about to end, he has also made his own judgment.

Penny looked at Nick with a shocked look on her face at this time and asked, "This is the end of the matter, and the CAA that used to be so powerful is over!"

As a native of Los Angeles and living in this circle, Penny naturally knew that CAA was powerful, but what she didn't expect was that CAA was over!

You must know that it was CAA, and it didn't even go down for a round in Wu Jianye's hands.......

Nick sat on his sofa, slowly brought himself a glass of whiskey, and then said: "This is what I told you about one force down ten, what you see is that CAA didn't even go down for a round in Wu Jianye's hands, so do you know how much money Wu Jianye took out for this round?"

Penny looked at Nick and said, "Isn't it 500 million dollars?"

Nick smiled and said, "Five hundred million, at least seven hundred million!"

Penny looked at Nick in surprise and asked, "So much?"

700 million US dollars, which is already worth half of their family's assets, Wu Jianye actually took it out to deal with CAA!

Nick said: "Of course, you only saw the 500 million funds that Wu Jianye took out, have you forgotten that Hera's agent himself is also profitable, this time Hera's agent has completely defeated CAA!"

Penny continued to ask: "There is one thing that I don't know very well, in this operation, WMA and ICM helped Hera's agent, I can understand, after all, this time they can also get a lot of benefits, but why are several other production companies also helping to eat CAA's cake?

Penny's question is the same as Ovitz's!

Nick explained with a smile: " Of course they thought of it, but CAA's cake is too tempting, before CAA relied on the resources in their own hands, unscrupulously put pressure on several major production companies, they have long been dissatisfied with CAA in their hearts, but what they didn't expect was that CAA would lose so quickly, so quickly, and they couldn't react in time, and this time they are not without gains, after CAA falls, these top directors and actors are bound to form a closer cooperative relationship with several major production companies, and then the role of brokerage companies in it will be much smaller, which is more beneficial to several major production companies。 ”

There are no eternal enemies in this world, only eternal interests, and the interests of several major production companies in this matter are almost the same as Hera's agents, so even if the Phantom competes with several major production companies, they will still come together very tacitly to deal with CAA.

It's just that they thought more, hoping that CAA could hold on for a while longer, but they didn't expect that after Wu Jianye's 700 million was smashed out, CAA collapsed directly, so fast that they didn't have time to react too much.

"But I always thought it was not a good deal to invest 700 million in dealing with my own enemies for this kind of thing!" Penny said.

Nick nodded and said: "If you look at Hera's agent alone, this investment will definitely not be able to recover the cost in a short period of time, but don't forget, behind Hera's agent stands Phantom Media, after this battle, Phantom Media's reputation in Hollywood will be even greater, have you thought about the intangible assets brought here, a Phantom without shackles, what will happen to their development?"

Many people will think that the Phantom's behavior this time seems to be a victory, but the price paid is also not small, after all, the cost of 700 million was invested, but everyone has forgotten what kind of existence the Phantom will be in the hearts of these directors and actors in Hollywood after this battle.

It may not be obvious now, but in the future development, such an advantage will slowly appear in front of everyone's eyes, and then the 700 million will not be so important.

Nick sometimes wonders if he can see so clearly because he is out of the whole thing, and those who are in it, when they react to the real advantage that this event brings to the Phantom, will they regret it?

Penny: "Is it possible for CAA to turn the tables?"

Nick shook his head and said: "No, do you remember what I once told you, Wu Jianye has never left a little leeway in dealing with enemies that can be taken, and CAA obviously underestimated the strength of the Phantom, and when he didn't figure out the specific situation of his opponent and what his personality was, he rashly dealt with it, it is obvious that CAA has been standing at the top for too long, and they have forgotten how to treat their enemies!"

"If this time CAA can investigate the phantom in depth before dealing with the phantom, and at the same time unite several major studios, maybe it can really have an impact on the phantom, but it's too late to say anything now, look, according to Wu Jianye's character, they will definitely not let CAA go so easily, they will still have a backhand, if they don't completely beat CAA, they won't stop!"

It's like verifying Nick's words.

At this time, there are not many people left in CAA, and there are less than a few dozen CAAs left at this time with more than 300 actors and directors in their heyday.

These people still have in their minds the idea that CAA may be able to develop again.

But when the joint statement of Hera's brokerage, WMA, and ICM came out, everyone knew that the CAA was finished!

The three brokerage companies jointly declare that their directors, actors, and all the works they participate in are not allowed to appear CAA contracted artists and directors!

After this statement was issued, almost the entire Hollywood banned CAA!

Ovitz seemed to have aged a lot overnight, and he didn't expect that the company he was so proud of would collapse in less than a week!

Those who still have fantasies, the artists who stayed, and the directors finally know that CAA has no skills to return to heaven!

Things have come to this point where everyone knows that CAA will become the history of Hollywood at this moment, and in the long history of Hollywood, there are countless companies that have left their names and only left their names.

And CAA will also be one of them to leave a name!
