"By the way, Ali, I haven't congratulated you on signing Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" Sid said to Ali with a smile.

"Oh, it's nothing, you should really look at those idiots to know the look on my face when I won the Golden Boy of Hollywood, haha, I really laughed to death. Ali laughed, still as strong and arrogant as ever.

Because of the addition of Sid, the development of Ali's Endeavor Elite Brokerage Company is much smoother than the development in the original history. A group of rookie actors used by Sid were all signed by Endeavor Elite, including Jeremy, Amy and others. Lindsay Xiao Nizi, not to mention, is the key service object of the Endeavor Elite, compared to the previous informal way of using the old mother as an agent, I don't know how much better.

"Oh, speaking of which, I'd like to talk about the brokerage's side. Sid's words immediately lifted Ali's spirits, and he knew that Sid was not a man without purpose.

"Britney's agent reminds me of the domain problem. ”

Sid's words made Ali a little confused: "Domain?"

"Not bad. Sid nodded, "Now, after decades of development, although Hollywood has the so-called five major agencies, CAA can be said to dominate the entire film industry." ”

"If we want to start in the film industry, we have to find new people, especially potential newcomers, like Matt Damon. And those stars who have been famous for a long time are difficult to poach. Sid's words made Ali nod repeatedly.

"But that's not where the real problem really is. Sid cocked up his finger and said, "The real problem is that the average actor's career is very long, from five years to decades. Especially male stars, there are never a few examples of breaking out after middle age. In this way, CAA, which holds these famous superstars, can be invincible for a long time. ”

"Because after all, they have some of the best big names in the industry, Tom Cruise, Julia Roberts, Cameron Diaz and so on. ”

"And ...... do you mean?" asked Ali Emmanuel, frowning.

"We can save the country. Sid said with a confident smile, "First of all, music, unlike the film industry, musicians' careers are relatively short, except for a very few superstars who can exist like evergreens, most singers' popular careers are 3 to 5 years, even if they become popular for a while, it is difficult for most people to last long." ”

"So what you're saying is that we can train and mine singers ourselves, and then we can quickly replace these music agents in the market. Ali understood everything and immediately understood what Sid meant.

"Not bad. Sid nodded, "And through Britney's example, we can also see that the music industry is very informal compared to the film industry's agents, so we have to make our own rules of the game while expanding." ”

"Just as CAA has subverted the film industry with cross-management and bundling, we have to set new rules of the game to disrupt the music industry and then monopolize it completely. Sid finally got to the point, smiling domineeringly.

"Yes, yes, I haven't thought about the music industry yet. After all, Ali is the number one thorn in Hollywood, and there is no shortage of ambition and ambition, and now that Sid has pointed out the direction, the rest is to operate.

"Oh, yes, I almost forgot, it's the same thing in the TV industry. Sid patted his head and said.

"TV?" Ali immediately showed a disgusted expression when he heard this.

Sid, who watched it, couldn't help laughing, "I know that we all despise the TV industry when we mix movies." ”

"Then you still want me to ......" Ali showed a look as if he had been greatly wronged, and Britney and Frisia smiled as they watched.

It's an open secret that Hollywood film circles despise the television world, but no, maybe not at all. Because people in the film industry have never concealed their sense of superiority. Just look at the Golden Globes, the only award for both film and television.

The Golden Globe Awards are entertainment-oriented awards, so the actors and stars who participated in the awards ceremony sat around the round table, as relaxed and happy as attending a banquet. But that's not the point, the point is that the Golden Globe venue is divided into two circles, the inner circle is the center, and the outer circle belongs to the desert area.

The design of the entire venue is such that the outer ring guards the inner circle, and the inner circle enjoys the treatment of the sun surrounded by stars.

Having said all this, you will know who is sitting inside and who is sitting outside. Of course, only high-ranking movie stars and directors are qualified to sit in the inner circle, and those who mix TV and go to the outer circle.

"$2.1 billion, that's the total for Warner Bros. last year's full-year box office. Sid smiled, but solemnly raised his finger and said, "And last year, the annual sales of Fox TV Network were close to 20 billion US dollars." ”

Sid's short and powerful words caused Ali to ponder, "So, the value of the television industry is not below that of the film industry?" he asked rhetorically in a puzzled tone.

"Hehe, the son can be taught. Sid smiled.

"And there's a bonus, TV actors' agents are still a chaotic blank market, isn't it a good time for us to enter!" Sid's words continued, finally making Ali's heart flutter.

"Okay, I see. I'll get back to the research and preparation. Ali nodded.

Sid thought of the development route of elite brokerage companies that had successfully monopolized the TV brokerage circle in history: "Look at whether there are any small brokerage companies with a large number of TV actors, and the market is still in a state of suppression of TV actors, then there are likely to be undervalued private brokerage companies." We can buy it cheaply to supplement our strength. ”

"OK, no problem, I'll check the music too. Ali nodded, indicating that he had made a note of it.

Looking at Sid and Ali in a few words, they talked about the situation and made plans, compared to Larry Rudolph, who is pestering the little people dressed as artists all day long, the level is really too much worse. This made Frisia feel a little awe.

At this time, Goffman walked over with several lawyers and agents, and Sid turned his head to look over: "How's it going?"

Goffman said: "Miss Spears's brokerage contract, there is nothing wrong with other things, but the agent Larry Rudolph has set a five-year brokerage period, and if the brokerage relationship is interrupted early, he will have to pay liquidated damages. ”

Sid frowned, "Goffman, you're not going to come to tell me bad news, are you?"

Goffman smiled: "Of course not!"

He opened the contract and flipped to one of the pages, "This contract has a clause prohibiting Miss Spears from finding another agent while she is being brokered by Larry Rudolph, otherwise it will be considered a breach of contract." ”

"Huh, is there anything else?" said Britney, surprised.

Sid smiled bitterly and held his forehead, sister, when you sign your contract, you can also show me before signing!

And this kind of clause is also normal, any company will do this, like if you sign a CAA, you can't let someone from ICM run in halfway.

Sid scratched his hair, "Then there's no way?"

"No, there is a way. Goffman smiled confidently: "He only said here that Miss Spears is forbidden to accept the services of other music agents, but he does not prohibit her from accepting the services of other agencies!"

"Oh Hoho—" Goffman's words made Sid laugh, "you've caught all these loopholes, and you've really worked on it." ”

"Of course, your requirements are our goal. Goffman smiled and nodded slightly.

"Then let's get Britney a new brokerage contract. Sid turned to look at Ali.

Ali nodded and turned to his subordinates and shouted, "You lazy people, what are you waiting for, hurry up and get Miss Spears' contract ready for me." ”

At the sound of the order, everyone immediately moved.

Sid thought for a moment and said, "Public relations, external business contacts, and life. There must be at least three people. ”

"If you're a life agent, I just want Leah. As she spoke, Britney hugged Friscia, who was already stunned.

"This nostalgic Nizi. Sid whispered with a smile.

Friscia has been in charge of Britney's life, training, etc. since Larry (Rudolph) signed Britney, and the relationship for more than two years has made Fricia one of Britney's closest people. So when it comes to the new agent, Britney subconsciously protects the calf.

"Are you sure?" asked Sid, deliberately quip.

"Of course!" Britney said with her big cute eyes.

"Well, it's your team, you have the decision. Sid said with a smile.

Of course, Friscia knew that with Ali's sophisticated and professional and resolute style, there were a lot of professional agents, and if Britney didn't speak, she couldn't stay at all. She gratefully shook Britney's hand, "Thank you, Nini. I...... It was all bad for me before. ”

"No, you don't have to say it, I don't want to affect our relationship. Britney said emotionally.

The two girls said with tears in their eyes and sympathy.

Sid looked at the two girls who were about to hug each other and cry speechlessly, "I said, have you two finished acting in Korean dramas? ”

"Oh!" Britney jumped over to watch and learn, and Sid turned to look at Friscia.

"You're now an employee of Larry's (Rudolph) banner?" asked Sid.

"Yes. Friscia replied with a curled neck.

"Is there a contract?"

"There is an employment contract, but there is no time limit. When Friscia heard Sid's words, she vaguely thought of his intentions, and a faint feeling of excitement immediately rose in her heart.

"Goffman, find a lawyer to help Leah get her and Larry's (Rudolph) employment contract terminated. Then sign in to Endeavor Elite Agency, since you are Britney's life agent, then go according to the treatment of a regular agent. Would you like to?"

From a small assistant to a private broker to a regular agent in Hollywood's five major brokerage companies, this identity change is like a dream. Friscia immediately nodded excitedly: "I do!"
