Chapter 44: The Top 3 Brokerage Companies

In fact, when filming the witch, Leila already had the idea of opening an additional agent department.

Coming to this era, she has not only a life to live again, but also an understanding of the future. She knows who will become the most famous star in the future, and she also knows who will have the greatest potential.

There are three major agency companies in Hollywood, CAA with clients such as Steve Spielberg, Will Smith and Brad Pitt, WMA with clients such as Denzel Washington and Natalie Portman, and ICM with clients such as BeyoncΓ© and Harry Berry.

Among them, CAA is the undisputed king, their artists often win the second to fifth place in the Oscars, and their directors can win half of the global box office. In addition to film and television, they are also unrivaled in music.

Almost two-thirds of Hollywood's A-listers are signed with them, making them one of the most influential organizations. Like some of the big movie giants, like Disney, Time Warner, they all love and hate them.

What I love is that their stars do have a lot of box office appeal, and what I hate is their "packaging", that is, packaging services.

For example, if I want to make a movie, then I first need a good script, a producer, a director, a crew, and all kinds of actors.

CAA's packaging service is that you just need to prepare the money, and the actors, directors, crew and even the script can arrange it for you.

It sounds like it's convenient and comfortable, just sit and wait for the money to come in. But for some large companies, it's like a shackle.

CAA has mastered too many A-list stars, and film companies have to accept their packaging services if they want stars to make movies together. Whoever you want from us, yes, then the other people in the company can also give a small role.

Honestly, Leila didn't want to see that. Yes, CAA's resources are strong, but their asking price is also frighteningly high. What she wants is a film company that she controls by herself, not being led by the nose and becoming someone else's money-making tool.

That's why she began to plan to open an agent's department when the first movie came out, specializing in signing some potential stocks that were still buried in the sea of people at this time and would definitely soar like an eagle in the future.

It's just that she didn't expect that the first person she wanted to sign would be Roy, a person who would not show any traces in the future at all. But she wants to gamble, gamble on her vision, and bet that she can have the ability to discover talents even if she has no memory of the future.

If she wins, then she will overcome herself and will have more confidence to start her own business. And if she fails, all she loses is some confidence and some money.

"After Christmas, there's a new movie that's going to cast you in a role, so you'll need an agent now. Of course, you can also find other agents, but it's hard to say whether you will still get the role. "If her wings are stiff and she wants to fly with someone else, she won't be so kind to give the role.

Leila looked at him with faint eyes, waiting for his answer.

If no one in the previous Roy would have associated him with a star, then after some "trimming" just now, the stylist has unleashed his charm. It can be said that when he walks on the streets of Hollywood, 80% of him may be wooed by talent scouts. The other 20% may be that his gangster aura exploded, and he scolded people away without waiting for them to speak.

"Acting in a movie?" Roy narrowed his eyes and looked at her and suddenly laughed evilly, "That kind of movie? It seems that you really like my figure, do you want to try it yourself?"

Claire was not very satisfied with this little guy who was too pretty, and when she heard his words, she immediately got up from her chair, wanting to give this impolite guy a little color.

But he was pressed back by Leila.

"Roy, do you sign or not?" she gave him the opportunity to choose, and it was up to him to choose what the future would be.

"Sign, why not. Roy grabbed his pen and signed his name on the contract. He knew very well that there was nothing in him that no one else could plot against, and since he wasn't trying to deceive himself, why not try it? No matter how bad it was, it could be worse than now?

Although he doesn't think he can become such a popular star one day, as long as he can make some money to bring his younger brother to his side, and then earn ham that can make him eat enough, that's fine.

Leila put away the contract and looked at it twice, and gave it to Claire to put away with satisfaction: "Give it to Louise when you get back to the company, she will know what to do." ”

"Okay. Claire looked at Roy a little uneasy, always feeling that this little thug had somehow deceived the "pure and kind" Lyra and made her make a decision that was destined to be wrong.

She admits that this little gangster does have a good face, but that ruffian, the kind of temperament that looks like a gangster, wants to appear in movies and become a star?

The phone rang suddenly. Lyra answered the phone and heard Zeni's voice coming from the other side: "Leila little angel, where are you playing? ”

"I ate out. If you're okay, come to my house in the afternoon, I have some questions for you. ”

"Well, how about half past three in the afternoon?"

"No problem, I'll wait for you at home. ”

Leila set the time and hung up the phone. Thanks to Zeni's reminder, otherwise she would have forgotten about another actor she wanted to sign - "Dwayne Johnson".

"Claire, you can help me make a note, and when the holiday is over, let Louise go to WWE to find Dwayne Johnson and get his acting agent contract. ”

"I wrote it down. "Claire should come down.

After thinking about it for a moment, and feeling that there seemed to be nothing to be forgotten anymore, Leila stood up from her seat.

"I'll go home first. Claire, you help Roy get a cell phone and rent him an apartment in Hollywood. I hope I can take him with me after the holidays. ”

"There's no problem with that. ”

Leila smiled and nodded, turning her head to Roy, "You're okay, right? At least you won't be able to come back to New York for a while, and you'll need to come with me to Hollywood after Christmas." If there's anything else to accomplish, do it as soon as possible. She knew very well that he had nothing to miss except that his brother, who was seven years younger than him, and a friend named Pansy needed to say goodbye.

"Got it. Roy waved his hand impatiently.

That look made Claire's hands itch again.
