077 Li Feng's brokerage company idea

"It's a pity, in my opinion, C+ has a lot of development potential, and as for saying that it has achieved the top, it can only mean that Ovitz has too little vision.

The current C+ is indeed the top in terms of TV and movies in the United States, but just TV and movies are enough.

C+'s packaging system is really good, and the one-stop service will bring Hollywood movies and TV from screenwriters, stars, directors, etc., but this has also exacerbated the confrontation between C+ and major media giants.

In this respect alone, your successor is smarter than you, and although in the end it is still your package, but at least softer and more popular with these media giants.

If it were me, I would be ready to move into the rest of the entertainment industry, such as pop music superstars, top models, sports superstars, etc., and even go out of the United States to the world, such as football stars in Europe, entertainment stars in Asia, and so on.

As long as these industries can be top-notch, they will not be inferior to your original business, or even surpass.

If you had achieved the success of C+ in Hollywood TV and movies in the industries I talked about earlier, then your C+ would not be in the hundreds of millions of dollars business.

As long as you succeed, you can learn some of the experience of IMG (International Management Company), and then it may be billions, tens of billions or even tens of billions of business. ”

……

Listening to Li Feng's words, Michael Ovitz suddenly stood up in surprise and looked at Li Feng with a surprised face.

Yes, why do we all rest on our laurels in a single industry, to take the simplest example, if a brokerage company can achieve C+ plus IMG's combined strength, then this company will definitely become an industry giant, even not inferior to the media giant.

Even when the company is based on the United States and develops to the world, although I don't know the income of those football stars in Europe, I can see how much money is earned in the sports stars by looking at the star income of the NBA.

It can be said that after listening to Li Feng's words, Michael Ovitz is indeed like waking up from a dream, comparing his previous strength in C+ to now being controlled everywhere in Disney, thinking that if C+ can achieve all aspects that Li Feng said, then those entertainment and media giants will beg for their own homes.

Li Feng felt that everything that should be said was said, and he didn't know if Michael Ovitz would agree, but he was ready to end today's topic, and the rest was chatting and cheering.

……

"OK, I don't think Mr. Ovitz can make a decision all at once, you can think about it, if you are in the brokerage business again, you can consider working with me, my side is very advantageous.

First, if you engage in the brokerage business again, it is impossible to return to C+ again, the current C+ is no longer your world, and with me you can get full trust to take charge of the brokerage department, and I have enough strength for you to complete the wireless possibilities I mentioned today.

Second, there is already a group of second-tier stars around me, and my opinion is to set up a brokerage company, directly poaching top brokers first, so that agents and top stars can set up independent studios, affiliated with the name of the brokerage company, the brokerage company has a certain share, and the studio can operate independently.

In this way, the potential of these brokers and superstars can be maximized, and at the same time, the relationship between the brokerage company and the star agent and superstar can be coordinated to ensure that multiple parties can make profits. ”

Sure enough, as Li Feng's words fell, Ovitz was shocked by Li Feng again, and was amazed by Li Feng's studio idea, there are very few studios like this in Hollywood, after all, there are too few stars who can succeed in Hollywood without the help of a strong brokerage company.

Regarding Li Feng's proposal, Ovitz is very clear that as a top figure in the agent industry, he suddenly thought of the benefits of this star studio, which is indeed a powerful weapon for the agency to ease the relationship between superstars and star agents.

……

What followed was naturally a small talk, and Michael Ovitz didn't agree directly, he was just thinking about a way out for himself before, thinking about getting in touch with Li Feng, but he didn't expect Li Feng to have such an extraordinary idea for the brokerage company, which was beyond Ovitz's initial imagination.

In the end, he said that he needed to think about it, and after a while of small talk, he finally left.

"Barry, what decision do you think Ovitz will make?" Watching Ovitz drive away, Li Feng asked Barry Diller beside him.

"BOSS, I think Ovitz is already excited, and very star BOSS Your vision has far exceeded the scale of the imagination of ordinary brokerage companies, if it can really succeed, it is conceivable that the brokerage company at that time was definitely a supergiant, and it was a chess player in the entertainment and sports industries all over the world. ”

"Oh, hopefully, Barry, I want you to set up the agency first, and we'll do both, and I've heard that the current manager of the truck driver's big boat movie actor, Rick Yorn, is an independent agent, and he's also Diaz's agent, and he's also a well-known producer in Hollywood.

If Ovitz doesn't agree, I want you to talk to him and ask him to join the brokerage company, and I can put him in charge of the brokerage business.

In fact, the most powerful way for the agency to woo such a star agent, for example, as long as Rick Yorn is wooed, I think Leonardo and Cameron Diaz can't run.

Barry, after the agency is established, our strategy is to start with such a star agent, coupled with a model like an independent studio, we will definitely be able to develop the agency. ”

"BOSS, I understand, I'll arrange it tomorrow and perfect it as soon as possible. "Barry Dile is full of confidence for the last time, and this is also the confidence that Li Feng has always given them, after all, Li Feng has a reputation for failure so far.

Since Barry said that he wanted to set up a brokerage company, Li Feng put on the idea of Ka Dashen and Xiao Lizi, after all, he was too famous, and then asked people to investigate, and Xiao Lizi's agent entered Li Feng's sight.

Unexpectedly, even Cameron Diaz is under his name, Li Feng naturally doesn't want to let go, and the most important thing is that this Rick Yorn wants to become a producer and not just serve as an agent, and he doesn't belong to a brokerage company, Li Feng can fully meet his conditions, and he can naturally poach people together.

……

Originally, Li Feng wanted to go back to Silicon Valley, but this time Barry's arrival made his trip to Silicon Valley have to be postponed.

That night, Li Feng walked into the study, turned on the computer, and then began to type on the keyboard.

It turned out that Li Feng thought that if he set up a brokerage company, would he be able to imagine ways to be on the stars, such as catching those big stars in the future, etc., and then typed it on the computer.

If you say that in the pop music industry, it is natural that future generations will have familiar names, such as Michael Jackson, Madonna, etc., but digging such a superstar, a new agency is unlikely.

However, in the late 90s and early 21st century, Li Feng would not hesitate to propose a name, that is, Britney Blaney, who is a popular diva all over the world.

Although the big fat girl in the later generations has changed, Blaney did take over the European and American pop music class when he was young, and is known as a new generation of pop divas.

Naturally, Li Feng also thought of Jennifer Lopez, a Latin diva who had a contact with her before, and the later Jennifer Lopez has become the top of the industry in the two major industries of film and television and music, and such a figure is almost gone even in Hollywood.

The rest of the young people such as Avril Lavril, Mei Mei, Bi Bo, Beyoncé, etc., Li Feng also wrote a lot, in short, he tried his best to write everything that could be heard in later generations, anyway, these people who he could hear about were basically superstar level, and he could dig one up.

……

said that Li Feng's side was comfortable, but his subordinate Barry Dille began to get busy, first contacting the women around Li Feng, and then contacting his agent, and transferring the women here to the brokerage company.

Fortunately, the women around Li Feng are not superstars except for Winona, and these agents are not star agents, so it is relatively easy to reach a contract, and naturally, they also paid a little price.

However, so many promising female stars have become signed clients of the same agency, which has attracted the attention of people in Hollywood, especially after Winona Ryder also announced that she had become a signed client of the new agency a few days later.

Li Feng's side began to move, on Disney's side, Michael Ovitz was not idle, and Michael Ovitz, who had already retreated, was no longer submissive, originally wanted to have a good chat with Eisner, but unfortunately, the result of the chat was not ideal, Eisner still had the opinion that you should do it yourself, and the two almost quarreled and broke up unhappily.

This also made Michael Ovitz finally make up his mind, and he submitted his resignation the next day, which surprised everyone at Disney.
