Chapter 398: The Most Powerful Man in Hollywood
Switching to a different broker?
Broker?
Michael Ovitz!
Roy's drunkenness dissipated in an instant! He already remembered who was in front of him, Michael Ovitz, who single-handedly created the largest agency in Hollywood, CAA (Innovative Entertainment Agency), known as the Hollywood super trader. Stallone, Tom Cruise, Julia Roberts, Nicole Kidman, Tom Hanks and other superstars are all signed stars of his company.
This man used to be one of the most powerful in Hollywood, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he covered the sky with one hand, but he later abandoned the miracle he created and jumped to Disney as president.
It's a pity that his transformation was not smooth, and he was swept away by Disney in 97, followed by continuous lawsuits. Later, he was unwilling to be lonely and had no face to return to CAA, so he went out again to start AMG (Artist Management Group), wanting to return to the peak period.
Roy knew that of course it wouldn't be how familiar he was with Hollywood history, but that some of his friends at other agencies would tell him in small talk about who in the company had been poached by him from time to time, so that he knew that there was such a person poaching people everywhere.
"Are you poaching me?" he asked knowingly.
"Yes, I fancy your talent, and you also need a regular agent to help you plan a complete artistic life!"
It cannot be denied that Ovitz is a very charismatic man, and his voice and gesture exude a kind of confidence that makes one can't help but believe what he says.
But Roy only felt funny about his appearance: "Don't you know what the relationship between me and Leila is?" The whole world knows that he is popular with her, and he was also brought to Hollywood by her, how confident is he to think that he can poach him? As for the relationship with Laila, he doesn't think that many people in the entertainment industry will believe it, and I'm afraid that only those ordinary people will believe it.
"Of course I know, and that's why I came to you. Ovitz looked at him: "Do you want to live like this as a pawn forever?"
Roy smiled self-deprecatingly. Sure enough, the relationship between him and Laila can't fool the smart people in the entertainment industry at all.
"Aren't you also a pawn when I signed?" He didn't believe that these people were charitable, and they could help him with advice at no cost.
Kella is different. Although she talked all day about squeezing the last drop of oil out of him, she never really did that. Stand in his place every time and think about him. Take him to Hollywood, make movies for his roles, and help Abel come to him. She always did so many things for him, she disturbed his heart, but unknowingly separated him behind a barrier, and did not give him a chance to get close......
Ovitz was able to find this place, and it was certainly not a chance encounter. He had noticed him a long time ago, he was a man of great talent, and he was in excellent condition, and had great potential for development! He felt that he had seen a sparkling diamond, although the diamond was still only half covered by the lute and showed a little, but he believed that by his own ability he would be able to make him the most perfect diamond!
It's a pity that he came late, and this rough stone has already fallen into the hands of others. And that "other person" also saw the benefits of him, and gave a lot of opportunities to build him.
Originally, he was already planning to give up, but the events of the last few days gave him new ideas, and the fire that had been extinguished in his heart was rekindled.
Why did he get caught up in that ridiculous thing? Why did he become the object of ridicule by the whole people? Such a perfect rough stone should not have suffered such inexplicable ups and downs. If it was a star he signed, he would never make things so ridiculous.
So he came, as he said, to save his future, and he believed that with his ability, he would do it very smoothly.
"Man was born into this world, and the way was laid out by God. Aren't you, me, anyone, a pawn of fate? But does that mean we're going to follow the path that someone else has arranged?"
As he spoke, he pulled out a contract from his bag of papers: "If you join our company, I guarantee you to have your own life." The role you want to take, we will get it for you, and what you want, we will also get it for you. You don't need to be manipulated by others in the future!"
"And what about the girl I like?" Roy self-deprecatingly poured another gulp of wine into his mouth, "Can you help me get her love too?"
Ovitz clearly didn't think of the question, and a look of embarrassment flashed through his eyes. If he can, of course he hopes that his stars don't have real feelings, it's enough to spread a few scandals once in a while, and playing true feelings will only make him drag down by his family, so how can he do it?
But this cannot be said!
"It's actually quite simple. Ovitz spread his hands: "What kind of man do girls like the most? When you stand at the top of Hollywood, when you become a real man, when your charm can charm people all over the world, do you think there will be girls who will not be fascinated by you?"
Roy smiled and shook his head, maybe the average girl would do what he said. But can Leila, such a woman with terrible sanity, expect her to have some affection for him?
Ovitz can become the most powerful man in Hollywood as an agent, and it is conceivable that he is also an old man. Just looking at Roy's expression, he knew that this guy was not joking to reject him, but that there really was such a woman, and this woman was not yet able to charm with the fame and money of a top Hollywood star.
Could there be such a woman? It has been said that loyalty is just the price of betrayal. Not to mention a woman, even a man, as long as he smashes it with money, he can do anything. Unless the money given is not enough.
Let's say I'll pay a million and ask you to break someone's leg for me. You're going to think this guy is crazy to put himself in a cell for that money, and then come out and be despised as a villain for the rest of his life?
But what if you give 100 million? 100 million is not enough, then 1 billion? If you break someone's leg and promise to pay it immediately, will you refuse so resolutely? If you spend a few years in prison for money that your family will never use up in their lifetime?
Ovitz didn't care what others thought, he himself never thought that there was nothing that money couldn't do. can see Roy's expression, clearly sneering at his words. In other words, the girl he said he liked would not be with him because he was famous and rich.
