When her feet stood on the ground of New York's JFK International Airport again, breathing in the debris particles floating in the air and feeling the weak sun, Lan Li had to admit that the familiarity always felt like home. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In fact, Lan Li doesn't like New York, because it is rainy, snowy, and windy, and a hurricane can cause a power outage in the whole city, and a snowstorm will paralyze the whole city, not to mention the usual congestion that makes people vomit blood. Amazingly, after nearly twenty years in London and less than a year in New York, he found a long-lost sense of belonging in the city, as if only by returning here was he truly home.

Looking at the blocked airport avenue outside the window, Lan Li couldn't help but wonder, no matter how bad it was, this was his home.

Leaving New York this time, I originally thought that the time would be very short, "Buried Alive" is just a small independent film, and the shooting cycle cannot be too long, but I didn't expect that two months have passed in a blink of an eye, and the summer has come to an end. When I walked out of JFK International Airport, I could already smell autumn in the sea breeze.

Lan Li dragged a small suitcase, mixed in the crowd, walked out unhurriedly, thinking in his mind, whether to take the MRT or the bus back to the city today, the sight was bustling with crowds, many of them were holding signs, obviously the staff who came to pick up the airport, but in the surging crowd, it is not easy to find their own pick-up object, can only pray that the passengers can find their own sharp eyes to find out.

"Lan Li!"

In the midst of the lively noise, someone was calling his name, and Lan Li's footsteps couldn't help but pause, thinking that a certain "Pacific War" audience recognized him - this time on the flight back to New York from Paris, a flight attendant recognized him, and invited him to take a group photo in the middle of the service, which was the first time Lan Li really met a fan who asked to shoot, and it felt quite amazing.

But after exploring the crowd and finding no target, the call of "Lan Li!" rang out again, and then a man under the age of thirty was seen raising his right hand and waving vigorously in an attempt to attract Lan Li's attention, and in his left hand he held a wooden board for pick-up with a standard printed font that clearly read, "Lan Li-Hall".

Sensing Lan Li's gaze, he showed a happy smile, "Lan Li, here, here!"

This is...... Pick-up?

Lan Li's mind was full of question marks, who would come to pick up the airport? Could it be Stanley and they sent a car to pick up the airport? Inexplicably, the picture of a gangster movie came to mind, and in the name of picking up the airport, the male protagonist was forcibly stuffed into the car to complete the kidnapping. Thinking of this, Lan Li couldn't help but chuckle, and then took a step and walked in the direction where the person was.

"Lan Li, welcome back. The man took the initiative to greet him, "Is the flight going smoothly?" I heard that it has been raining heavily in Paris in the past two days, so it shouldn't have affected the take-off, right?"

Things are getting stranger, how does the other party know that he is coming back from Paris, and how does he know which flight he is back?

Suddenly, Lan Li had a flash of inspiration: George Hall. If it were his father, then everything could be explained, and André's boy might have inadvertently mentioned their encounter while chatting, and it was not difficult for Georges to guess his movements if he had the heart to inquire about it, and as for Paris, it was not difficult to find out the movements of his flight with some personal connections.

But why did George come to the airport at this time to besiege him? Isn't it more convenient to be in Paris?

Lan Li always felt that something was still wrong, so he decided not to beat around the bush and asked directly, "You haven't introduced yourself yet?" ”

The other party's expression was stunned, and then he reacted and patted his head, "Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself, I'm Nathan-Pryce, Fisher's assistant." He showed an apologetic smile, looking a little frizzy, and it seemed that he was not very familiar with the work business, "Let's talk while walking, there are more people coming out now, and it is not convenient to park outside." ”

The unexpected answer made Lan Li cry and laugh, obviously his guess was wrong, Nathan took a few steps forward, but Lan Li still stayed in place, "Remind me, which Fisher?"

Realizing that Lan Li didn't follow, Nathan panicked a little and hurriedly ran back, "Fisher, Fisher?" he kept repeating the name, trying to awaken Lan Li's memory, and after saying it four or five times, he reacted and said his full name, "Fisher-Morgan." ”

Interesting.

It turned out to be Fisher Morgan, the top agent who has been in the limelight in the past two years.

It's no secret that Innovative Artist Agency is now the only one in the industry, and they have pioneered the only one in the industry: the sharing of all resources across the company.

In the traditional agent industry, resources are undoubtedly the most important bargaining chips for agents, actors, directors, producers, large film companies, etc., like spider webs, extending all over Hollywood, and those agents at the top of the pyramid can really turn their hands into clouds and rain.

Generally speaking, there are two kinds of top agents, one is that there can be more than ten or twenty artists under their hands, including different types of work, including artists of different levels, and the other is to have top artists, such as Johnny Depp, who has the initiative to negotiate.

However, innovative artist agencies have broken the rules of the industry, and all resources are open and shared internally. An actor may have four or five agents at the same time, one of whom is in charge of the agent, and all the other agents will provide the actor with the right resources, and similarly, an agent may be in charge of multiple artists at the same time, and as long as one artist has the right resources, it can drive other artists to find jobs.

This model not only succeeded in maximizing the benefits of resources, but also achieved the overall rise of its actors. The most famous is the Comedy Bad Boys.

Ben-Stiller, Will-Ferrelll, Owen-Wilson and a dozen other comedians came together to be nicknamed the Rotten Boys by Hollywood. Because one of the actors received a new project, the innovative artist agency would ask to sign with one or two members of the Rotten Boys, such as signing Ben and piggybacking on Luke-Wilson and Jonah-Hill.

In this way, they brought together a large number of comedians and created successful comedies such as "Wedding Guests", "Meet My Father-in-law", "Tropical Thunder", and "Wonderful Night at the Museum".

In the face of the strength of innovative artist agencies, whether it is the veteran William Morris agency, or the international innovation management company that is catching up, or the rising star Endeavor Elite Agency and United Elite Agency, it is difficult to form a head-on confrontation. Although the five major agencies in the industry are now tied for the top five, the innovative artist agency is absolutely ahead.

Three years ago, he packaged and sold the "True Blood" project to HBO, creating a vampire spring, and then successfully sold Kristen Stewart to the "Twilight" crew, creating a box office miracle for idol movies, and Bradley-Cooper, who had not improved in Hollywood for ten years, starred in "The Hangover" under his operation This year, he can also be seen behind the most high-profile new drama "The Walking Dead", and at least four actors have been promoted into the crew.

It is no exaggeration to say that Fisher has single-handedly fought his way through the cracks of innovative artist agencies, and he is currently on the list of Hollywood agents, and he can undoubtedly occupy a place in the top 20.

The reason why Lan Li knew Fisher was because after the start of the "Pacific War", he had received a call from Fisher, but the call was very short, only less than two minutes, Fisher asked Lan Li's intentions directly, saying that he wanted to meet with Lan Li once, and after a detailed conversation, he would evaluate the possibility of cooperation between the two sides.

Resolute, decisive, concise and clear.

This was Lan Li's first impression of Fisher, and it was only after he accidentally chatted with Roy Lockley that he realized what a great person Fisher really was. It's just that, after that, Fisher never contacted him again. Obviously, for Fisher, the value of Lan Li was not enough for him to work hard.

Contact again, it's today.

"Please thank Mr. Morgan on my behalf. I figured I could go back on my own. Lan Li smiled and politely declined the kindness. He had nothing to do with Fisher, and he didn't like the feeling of his privacy being exposed when the other party suddenly went to such great lengths to pick him up and find out about his flight.

Nathan suddenly panicked, "Lan Li, I mean, Mr. Hall, Mr. Hall. He trotted all the way behind Lan Li, "Please be sure to get in the car, Fisher really wants to invite you to talk, I hope you can give him a chance." Nathan followed behind Lan Li, very anxious, "Wait, are you going to take the bus now......?" Lost.

As soon as the style of painting changed suddenly, Lan Li couldn't hold back for a while, and laughed out loud, "Yes." ”

Nathan reacted, "I'm sorry, I've only been on the job for less than a week, and I'm not very skilled in the business yet. Then, he said anxiously, "Fisher flew from Los Angeles to New York, leaving you with a full day, and there is absolutely no discount on sincerity, just hoping to be able to talk to you face-to-face......

At that moment, a car braked on the side of the road and stopped, the door behind it opened, and a voice came out, "Mr. Hall, please get in the car." ”

Lan Li raised his eyes and looked, sitting in the back row was a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, who could not see his facial features clearly under the shadows, and could only see a pair of quiet but not sharp eyes, with firmness and confidence that could not be refused.
