A partner in a brokerage firm, this is the ultimate goal for every broker, and Andy Rogers, as a senior broker, is no exception. What's more, this is also a partner of an innovative artist agency, the leading boss of Hollywood, and the number one giant with great power and prestige.

Andy has been working hard all along, and now he finally sees the dawn of success. But it wasn't long ago that Andy was in the whirlpool of crisis in his career, and it seemed that everything he had worked so hard to build was about to fall apart -

Because, Andy's brokerage cooperation agreement with Lanli is about to officially expire.

For many laymen, it is bound to be difficult to understand how an actor's agency contract can lead to an agent's career in crisis? What's more, Andy is not a nobody, even in innovative artist agencies, he is a well-deserved senior employee, and his ability and connections have been recognized.

But that's just the way it is.

Lan Li Hall, whether it is personal strength or commercial value, including industry reputation and social influence, he has already stood at the top of the pyramid, and more importantly, this young actor is only twenty-three years old, and his future commercial potential is still not endless, and now he is just the tip of the iceberg.

There is no doubt that Lanli is the most sought-after and hottest top client in the entire broker industry.

Not only Hollywood, but also the other four major agencies have begun to make moves, and even the innovative artist agencies themselves have begun to move.

On the whole, in Hollywood's agent system, agents and actors are directly linked, and even bundled together with a community of destiny, with both prosperity and loss, but innovative artist agency is an alternative, and all resources within their company are shared-

The actor is affiliated with the agency, not the individual agent, and the resource is also affiliated with the agency, not the individual agent.

The agency plans as a whole, completes the arrangement and combination of resources, wins more opportunities for its actors, and also effectively allocates the actors to strive for more performance opportunities.

For example, Lan Li signed an agency contract with Andy, but he was affiliated with an innovative artist agency, and the 10% commission was not given to Andy personally, but was handed over to the agency, and then the agency completed the distribution. If Lan Li is not satisfied with Andy, he can change to another agent in charge at any time, but the overall allocation of resources will not be affected in any way.

Thanks to the two-way resource allocation mechanism, although the rich are still getting richer and the poor are getting poorer, at least the effective utilization of resources can be maximized. This has also made innovative artist agencies the leaders in the industry.

But for individual brokers, the difference still exists objectively.

Within the company, why are some people able to reap higher dividends? Why do some people become partners in the company? Why do some people have higher power and status in the industry?

The reason is not complicated, the actors, directors and screenwriters in charge of him have achieved better results and reaped more profits, which is success. In other words, the close connection between agents and actors within the innovative artist agency is still in sync with the entire Hollywood industry.

The most direct representative case is that in 1998, Tracy Jacobs, the top agent of the innovative artist agency, was successfully poached and joined the rising star United Elite Agency.

The target of the United Elite Agency is Tracy, and it is Johnny who she represents.

The same is true for Lan Li and Andy now.

For other agents, Blue Gift is affiliated with an innovative artist agency that tries to poach and grow their company, while for the innovative artist agency, Blue Gift is an open option for everyone to try to poach and grow their own strength.

The news that Lanli's brokerage contract is about to expire, no one has leaked the news at all, everyone in the industry has an account book in their hearts, calculating the time when Lanli signed a contract with Andy, calculating the time when the contract expires, almost from the beginning of the year, waiting for the right time, and then taking the initiative.

In fact, the contract ends in August.

But as early as the beginning of July, Lan Li had already become a fragrant bun, and some people began to try to poach it one after another, and in late August, when Lan Li returned to New York and appeared on the Broadway stage, it really reached a high climax, and countless agents flocked to it, like sharks smelling blood, and all lost their minds.

From rival agencies to innovative artists, the chase and wrestling are everywhere.

Overnight, Andy became a public target, bewildered, embarrassed, and unable to parry.

On the one hand, he has to arrange Lan Li's work, in addition to the performance schedule of "Les Miserables", there are also propaganda signs related to "detachment", and communication with the "gravity" crew, on the other hand, he must deal with the ubiquitous malice and slander, all kinds of dirty means are used, and it is impossible to prevent it.

As far as Andy knew, there were at least two senior partners in the company who had joined in the poaching of Lan Li – not senior agents, but senior partners, and this was only part of Andy's own knowledge.

During that time, Lan Li was completely immersed in Broadway performances, and had no time to take care of other off-the-court chores.

Thanks to the rumors that Vin Diesel kept spreading, as well as the rumors during the filming of "detachment", everyone knows Lan Li's habits, after putting into work, he forgets to sleep and eat, desperate, and any disturbance and interference may anger Lan Li;

So, the brokers have learned to be obedient.

Bypassing the Blue Rites, Roy and Nathan became the objects of everyone's pursuit, from gifts to parties, from VIP banquets to beautiful women, from flattery to intimacy...... The two of them enjoyed unprecedented treatment, wrapped in a cluster of flowers, and seemed to have become the upper class of Hollywood.

Roy had an incomplete count, but the highest record was 27 phone calls and 136 text messages in three hours, plus 277 emails, including 19 party invitations, 33 event invitations, and a variety of discount coupons and vacation products.

All of this happened in just three hours.

"What's even more exaggerated is that I just go to 7/11 to buy a sandwich, and then a beautiful woman comes over and talks to me, and then invites me to a party in the Upper East Side. At that moment, I almost thought I was Leonardo DiCaprio who had just finished filming 'Titanic'. Roy teased so self-deprecatingly.

After the "Titanic" created a box office miracle, Leonardo lost himself in Vanity Fair, and that experience also made him cautious, and he made very few new friends, because everyone has something to ask for, and he is just a pedal. Friends like Leonardo and Tobey Maguire who met before they became famous, friendships are always unbreakable, and that's why it's important.

However, the chaos and commotion lasted less than two weeks before it came to an abrupt end.

Because, the parties have publicly stated their positions.

Before that, Lan Li was completely unaware of this, he had simply forgotten about the imminent expiration of his brokerage contract, and he had not noticed anything unusual in the slightest, and Roy and Nathan were completely secret, so they did not disturb Lan Li's performance in the slightest, except that the VIP box of the Broadway show was a bit too busy - but compared to the West End of London, it was not worth the fuss.

If it weren't for the senior partner of the innovative artist agency, who skipped Andy, Roy and Nathan, and after a detour through the unknown Matthew Dunlop, he would have been kept in the dark.

The senior partner passed through the unknown Matthew, met with Lan Li, attended the opening of the museum, and had a good conversation, followed by a dinner. As for the details of the interview, Lan Li has never mentioned it, and this will become an unknown mystery.

But you can feel that Lan Li doesn't like it, and she doesn't like it very much.

The senior partner obviously didn't know that Lan Li's least favorite thing was that someone used his friend, and when the other party used Matthew to achieve the purpose of meeting, all possibilities for cooperation had been completely lost.

If Andy had known in advance, he would have given sincere advice to try to avoid such a self-proclaimed smart move, which is applicable in high society, but not for Lan Li. It's a pity that the other party didn't tell Andy, and Andy naturally didn't give a reminder.

On the first day of dinner, Lan Li called Andy directly, "When are we going to update some brokerage contracts, is there anything that needs to be changed? Why don't you tell me in advance? ”

Andy was surprised by this, "I thought it was ...... You need to think about the different possibilities. After all, now the whole world is Lan Li's, he can choose any agent as much as he wants, and if he makes any request, no one will refuse, but Lan Li still chose Andy.

Because it was so unexpected that Andy stuttered a little. Rarely, Andy showed his lack of self-confidence.

"I did this before I signed with you, didn't I?"

After that, Lan Li understood Andy's situation and difficulties through Roy, and even malicious competition from within the company, so Lan Li and Andy had the conversation just now:

500,000 yuan for works, which is not enough for innovative artist agencies.
