At ICM, Nancy sits at her desk and is busy, working more and more as "Stealing Love" enters post-production.

Originally, in order to prevent the agent from taking away the artist, the agency implemented a cross-management system, and there were basically three agents behind an artist, one person was responsible for business, one person was responsible for public relations, and the other person was responsible for trivial matters.

And John is the owner of ICM, and Devin Morgan is naturally not afraid of him jumping ship to other brokerage companies, so he does not perform cross-management on him at all, and Nancy's work is not shared.

Just when Nancy was busy, the phone on the desk rang, Nancy frowned, she was most annoyed by someone to disturb her when she was working.

"Hey, I'm Nancy Josephson, who may I ask?"

"Hello Miss Josephson, I'm Tom Hansen, President of RCA Records. ”

When Nancy heard that he was the president of RCA Records, she hurriedly asked, "President Hansen, is there a problem with the recording of the song?"

"This ......" Tom Hansen slurred a little "Miss Josephson, I can only say I'm sorry about recording a song for you, we're going to break off the cooperation with you"

Tom Hansen received a call from Michael Ovitz, president of CAA, asking him to give up recording a song for "Stealing Love." He didn't want to offend CAA, and he didn't want to offend ICM, but he had to choose one between the two, and in the end he had to choose CAA, which was stronger than ICM.

And Nancy suddenly had a big head when she heard Tom Hansen's words, the ending song in "Stealing Love" not only needs to be recorded by RCA's singers, but she has handed over all the song production to RCA.

Now that RCA is ending its cooperation, where is Nancy looking for a record company for a while, and what about the ending song of "Stealing Love"?

Thinking of this, Nancy asked, "President Hansen, why? Give me a reason" Nancy suppressed the anger in her heart.

Tom Hansen sighed: "Miss Josephson, are you offending Michael Ovitz of CAA, I can only choose one of ICM and CAA, I'm really sorry." ”

"Michael Ovitz" Nancy was puzzled when she heard Tom Hensen's words, she didn't offend this Hollywood super promoter! But why did this big guy suppress "Stealing Love"! Nancy couldn't understand, so she could only helplessly say to the phone: "Okay! President Hansen, I hope there will be a chance to cooperate in the future." ”

Just as Nancy was thinking of a remedy, bad news came one after another, first Sony Pictures called, refusing the invitation to attend the movie, and then Paramount, Lionsgate, Miramax, and Touchstone Pictures all called and turned down the movie.

The refusal of these companies caught Nancy off guard, and she finally understands now that it must be someone on her side who provoked Michael Ovitz, otherwise this is why the big guy would not be so crazy to suppress "Stealing Love".

This also made Nancy worried, the record company refused that she could buy the copyright of the song to solve the problem, but the film company refused, so the release of the movie "Stealing Love" became a problem.

If a movie can't be released, then all the work is meaningless and the money invested will be wasted.

Nancy quickly picked up her bag when she thought of this, and she immediately rushed to the Crown studio to discuss countermeasures with John, and she suspected that John must have provoked Michael Ovitz.

It didn't take long for Nancy to rush to the crown studio, and as soon as she entered the door, Nancy looked at John and said, "Did you provoke Michael Ovitz of CAA?"

"What's wrong?" John heard Nancy's inquiry, guessing that Michael Ovitz must have made a move.

Nancy heard John's words and said, "Now RCA Records refuses to record songs for us, and the film companies I invited have all refused to watch the film now, and they tell me that it was because Michael Ovitz said hello to them. You say, did you offend this super pusher? Nancy stared at John with her eyes fixed.

John nodded at Nancy's words.

"Why?" Nancy was angry when she saw John's admission, because of John, all the work she did in the early stage was in vain, and it may also make "Stealing Love" unable to be released.

"Because he's going to rob me of the rights to Forrest Gump!" John replied.

"You're saying he's got a crush on the rights to your next movie!" Nancy finally understood why Michael Ovitz had made a move. This made her feel disgusted for this Hollywood super promoter, and she actually banned a rookie director for the sake of a movie copyright. At the same time, she is also a little helpless, isn't Hollywood behind the glamour so dark?

"John, then you give him the copyright of "Forrest Gump", let's pass the current one first, so that "Stealing Love" can be released smoothly, otherwise the money and manpower invested will be wasted, and we will have nothing in the end. Nancy could only convince John to let go now, she was in the same boat as John, so she didn't want the boat to sink.

"No!" John categorically rejected Nancy's offer. "Forrest Gump is a movie I really want to make, and I believe the ROI of this movie is amazing, so I definitely won't give it to Michael Ovitz."

Nancy was also very helpless: "John! I didn't know that Forrest Gump would bring huge profits to the company, but now that the situation is stronger than people, it is time to have to bow down." Although the president of ICM is your aunt, President Devin has just come to Hollywood, and her strength and connections cannot be compared with Michael Ovitz, who has been entrenched in Hollywood for many years. ”

Nancy said this, looked at John sincerely and said: "John, let's let it go! There are many good scripts in Hollywood, there is no need to fight with Michael Owitz, wait until President Devin is stable, and we will find a place in the future." ”

Looking at Nancy's sincere eyes, John was a little moved in his heart. The reason why he didn't tell Nancy the solution at once was to see Nancy's attitude towards Michael Ovitz's suppression of him.

If Nancy had forced him to give the copyright to Michael Ovitz, or disassociate himself from him, John would definitely have replaced the agent, and he didn't need an agent with whom he had a little friction and threw off the baggage when things came.

Now that Nancy's investigation has passed, there is no need for John to frighten his agent. "Nancy, I know you're doing it for my good, but we don't have to worry, since Michael Ovitz has made a move, let's just see the move!"

"See the move?" Nancy looked at John exaggeratedly, and she thought John was a little whimsical. Michael Ovitz is a super-promoter of Hollywood. A rookie director, even if he is a bit backstage, is not something to compete with Michael Ovitz.

Just as Nancy was about to persuade John, John preemptively spoke, "Nancy, believe me, we will beat Michael Owitz." ”

"But what are we going to fight?" Nancy thought John was crazy, and even her father, the founder of ICM, would not dare to fight Michael Ovitz like this.

"Don't worry, I've got my own arrangements!" John gave Nancy a reassuring look, and then said: "I'll take care of the RCA business, they will help me make songs from scratch, and as for the film distribution, I decided to participate in the Sundance Film Festival and find a distribution company from the film festival, which needs you to get the film involved." ”

"But John, even if we find a buyer at the Sundance Film Festival, Michael Ovitz will spoil it. Nancy said worriedly.

Michael Ovitz can get the five studios she invited to give up, and he can get the buyers at the Sundance Film Festival to give up.

John smiled when he heard Nancy's words: "Nancy, the reason why the film company you invited refused to participate in the viewing party is because these companies don't know the value of "Stealing Love", so they don't need to offend CAA for a movie that doesn't know the value, but once they find out that "Stealing Love" can bring them benefits, Michael Owitz's face will not be so useful." ”

Nancy nodded at John's words.

There is only one "interest" that all people in Hollywood are pursuing, and anyone or thing that dares to stand in the way of interests will be completely crushed. This is even more touching for Nancy, who lives in Hollywood.

"Okay! I'll take care of the Sundance Film Festival. Nancy finally nodded in agreement with John once, not because she believed in John, but because she believed in the timeless rules of Hollywood.
