Compared with CAA, WMA and other brokerage companies, Endeavor Elite Brokerage Company (Endeavor) was established in 1995, which is the shortest among them, but it has a great momentum to catch up!

It not only has movie stars such as Chinese good friends Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, and Oscar-winning actor Robert De Niro, but also has elite talent management for the publishing industry.

Even Christian Bale, who recently played the role of Aragon in "The Lord of the Rings", is forging ahead, and he can be regarded as forming an indissoluble bond with Zhang Chu.

The most important thing is that the rest of Hollywood companies are not very focused on the publishing industry, and for CAA, maybe a hundred writers are not as profitable as a movie star, so it doesn't take a lot of effort at all.

Harry Emmanuel is in his sixties, but he is still full of energy. He started Endeavour with the rest of the group after leaving the International Innovation Management Agency, and then took it from a little-known small company to one of the Big Five in Hollywood!

As the most important link behind Hollywood Vanity Fair, agents can be called a panacea, they are not as frequently searched as Yang Tianzhen, but hide behind the scenes with their own abilities and connections.

Signing a work contract for a celebrity is the most basic, and you have to learn to plan hot spots to maintain the heat, deal with PR crises, and use excellent PR tactics to put celebrities on the podium of major award ceremonies.

It can be said that behind every brilliant superstar is the support of an agent!

Stars are the face of Hollywood, and agents are the insiders, these people are busy working, starting with discovering good actors, identifying good scripts, and then matching clients.

Harry Emmanuel rarely takes stars in person these days, and as the founder of the company, he is already at the executive level, and he is idle except for a few superstars.

This time, I heard that Zhang Chu was looking for a Hollywood agency, and he actually flew over directly, which shows the degree of attention!

CAA and WMA both have offices in China, one in Yanjing and the other in Modu.

This is Harry Emmanuel's first time in China, and he is confident that he will bring Zhang Chu's brokerage contract back.

Many agencies are looking for immediate profit and don't see the potential in these writers, but Emmanuel insists that the company sign many writers.

By helping the works of these writers to become movies and TV series, almost all the actors under the Endeavor Elite Agency can find suitable roles, and they must take care of their own people!

Now that several of Zhang Chu's movies have exploded, if the follow-up films can still be so powerful, maybe they can help Endeavor Elite Brokerage Company cultivate one or two A coffees and multiple B coffees.

What Emmanuel wants is not just a literary agent, but to build Zhang Chushi as a star, and the field of literary publishing is just a small category, and he can do it with a subordinate.

"China is already so developed, maybe we should also consider entering this market. ”

With this in mind, Harry Emmanuel walked out of the airport, and the assistant with him had already arranged the itinerary, and the car headed directly for Hallym Culture Media Co., Ltd.

The busy reporters at the airport were capturing a traffic flower who had just returned to Beijing, and they didn't know that they had passed by a hot news that was enough to shake the entertainment industry.

……

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Chang"

Zhang Chu had just rushed over from the school, and almost ran a red light on the road, and smiled in the face of Harry's praise: "It's my honor to have a legend come directly, let's sit down and talk." ”

Harry Emmanuel had a sense of British politeness, and when he sat down, he was greeted with a burst of praise.

"By the way, congratulations on your work "Life of Pi" on its $390 million first-week box office worldwide, which is incredible at the box office and word of mouth, and it will definitely be the top seed of Warner Rush this year. ”

"This doesn't have much to do with me, so let's be more direct and tell me why you want to join your agency, right?"

Zhang Chu still has elective classes to take in the evening, and he really doesn't have much time to accompany others to be polite, so it's best to be able to get things done quickly.

Different people are treated in different ways, and Emmanuel immediately showed his business elite side, took out a piece of paper from his briefcase and said: "I noticed that a lot of news media have been covering Life of Pi recently, and then I asked my old friends in Warner about the news, I guess you should be interested in competing for the Oscar, right? Otherwise, it would be impossible to find an agency in such a short period of time." ”

The two communicated in English, Ye Shumei and Zhou Kang had some difficulty listening, and only one simultaneous translator quietly explained to them in their ears.

"At present, there is such a plan, so can your company help me?"

It is not necessary to hide it, open the skylight and say something bright, Zhang Chu just lacks the help of a capable brokerage company in North America.

"Our company's main business objects are your writers and screenwriters, and we have helped clients nominate for Oscars many times. Among them, the screenwriters of the five films nominated for the 79th Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay in 2007 are all our clients, and "Little Beauty Sunshine", which won the Best Original Screenplay Award in the same year, is also from Endeavour. ”

An agency actually gave the Best Adapted Screenplay Award to a monopoly, and that was basically the peak time!

Even if these films come from different studios, they are a victory for Endeavour elite agencies.

Zhang Chu really didn't know about this matter in advance, and he usually watched the Oscars to focus on which work won the award, and he didn't pay attention to which agency the person who came to the stage to accept the award came from.

This paper lists the list of screenwriters who have been nominated for the Oscar since the establishment of Endeavour, which lasted from the beginning of the last century to last year, and is definitely an experienced genre.

"My goal is not just Oscar, it's just a specific aspect that I need, do you have any plans for me?"

The ultimate goal of an actor is not to win an Oscar, but to increase his financial income through obtaining an Oscar, and to gain wealth, beauty, social status and power.

Whether there is an Oscar or not is nothing for a writer, but it is just a commemorative significance for Zhang Chu personally!

Emmanuel laughs: "You're not a writer in the eyes of our company, you're a superstar. Film, television, music, and sports can all produce superstars, so why can't you do it in the field of literary publishing? I hope you can leave it to us for anything other than creation, and we will make your book sales at least a third higher than now, and the development of various rights will be more organized. If you have time, we can talk about it in detail. ”

After all, Zhang Chu's book marketing planning is almost all carried out by Random House, which seems to be relatively rough and free-range, and now it is up to the Endeavor elite to carry out deep cultivation!
