"What, that woman suddenly refused, didn't you sue me before?" In a villa in Malibu, Bront Cohen had just woken up when an assistant came to visit in a hurry, bringing bad news.

"Mr. Cohen, it was true that it had been negotiated at first, but when we contacted her last night, the woman suddenly repented. ”

The good mood of the day was ruined, and Bront Cohen frowned: "Does she think that she has less money, can she add more?"

The assistant shook his head and said, "No, I also tried it like this, and the other party rejected it completely." I think it may be because she made another deal with Eric Williams privately. ”

As he spoke, the assistant pulled out a newspaper and handed it to Bronte Cohen, who only glanced at it, and the newspaper featured photos of Drew Barrymore and his mother, Adicon, at the door of Eric's mansion.

Without reading the contents, Bronte Cohen didn't bother to care about the paparazzi's nonsense, threw the newspaper on the table, muttered for a while, and said, "You weren't recognized during your contact with the other party, did you?"

If Drew's mother had made some deal with Eric, the woman would most likely have revealed the person who had instigated her to do those things. Bront Cohen knows that he is not a big-hearted person, but he also knows that Eric Williams is also difficult to get along with, and if his calculations are detected by the other party, he does not know what kind of trouble will be made. He wouldn't treat Eric like a normal teenager anymore.

The assistant hurriedly shook his head: "Of course not, Mr. Cohen, I haven't been in direct contact with the other party, and the person I'm looking for has a good mouth, and will definitely not leak our information." ”

"Very well," said Bront Cohen, who hesitated reluctantly, "and let this be the case for now." ”

The assistant bent over and said very doggedly: "Mr. Cohen, there are other ways we can actually do it, and it doesn't have to be through Guò Drew Barrymore's mother......"

Blunt Cohen waved his hand: "Okay, I've said it, this matter is over for now." ”

The assistant saw the displeasure on Bronte Cohen's face and quickly stopped.

If it was in the past, Bront Cohen would definitely not give up, Eric brought him such a big embarrassment, and it was difficult to release the depression in his heart if he didn't retaliate.

But now there was more important trouble plaguing him.

During this time, after the successful acquisition of CBS Records by the Sony consortium in Japan, it began to contact the board of directors of Coca-Cola frequently in an attempt to continue the acquisition of the Columbia-Samsung Pictures Group.

Due to the turmoil some time ago, Bront Cohen, who had wasted a lot of effort and barely stabilized the situation, suddenly couldn't sit still. If Coca-Cola's owner is still Coca-Cola, he may continue to sit in this position for a few years, or even until retirement, with his connections over the years.

But if the owner of Colombia is replaced by a Japanese, the other party has no friendship with him, and Bront Cohen, although he is stubborn, is still somewhat self-aware of his own ability, and he knows that if the Japanese succeed, his fate will be obvious.

Therefore, Bront Cohen had to regain his spirits, unite some forces that oppose the sale of Colombia, and use various methods to prevent the resolution of the Coca-Cola board of directors to sell Colombia.

Even the box office card, which has always been a bit taboo, Bronte Cohen had to pinch his nose and play it, after all, although Colombia will lose a large share because of the gambling agreement, it is also the only outstanding result that Colombia can get in the past few years.

Rubbing his temples, Bronte Cohen looked up and said to his assistant: "By the way, at noon, I asked Mr. Trevor from the Coca-Cola board of directors to have dinner, I remember that he likes Latin beauties, you go and contact a few Latino actresses to accompany you, remember, you must be beautiful." ”

The assistant was obviously used to this kind of thing, and quickly nodded, "Okay, Mr. Cohen, I'll do it." ”

……

"Eric, why are you here now, Kapoor Sid has been waiting for half an hour. As soon as Eric showed up, Jeffrey Hansen couldn't help but complain.

Eric apologized, "I'm sorry, Jeffrey, I just happened to be stuck in a traffic jam on the road." ”

"Alright, let's go inside. ”

The studio's office building was still under renovation, and Eric had to talk to Kapoor Sid about buying his agency at a café.

Kapoor Sid is a white man in his forties, tall as many Europeans and Americans, at least 1.9 meters, bald, and bearded.

Eric walked up to Capper and held out his hand, "I'm sorry, Mr. Sid, I'm late. ”

Kapoor Sid didn't look displeased, even though he was a little upset about Eric's tardiness, he still smiled and said, "Hello, Eric, don't mind if I call you that, do you?"

"Of course not, Kapoor, please be seated. Eric also changed his name.

"Eric, I've seen your deeds, from the publication of the script, to the filming to the final gambling agreement, these things have been seriously thought through, step by step, interlocking. So you must be a smart and sane person, so why did you choose me from so many brokerage companies, I was going to sell them and go to Europe to continue my development, but Jeffrey said you wanted me to stay. You should know my situation, my conflict with Michael Ovitz has made it a bit difficult for me to get started in this industry. ”

Eric said seriously: "Because I'm not afraid of CAA, maybe other studios have to bow to CAA with a large number of top superstars for the sake of the box office, but I don't need to think about that." CAA has superstars, but I can create Zào superstars. What I need is someone who can act as a superstar agent, like you. And not those second- and third-rate brokerage companies. ”

Capper listened to Eric's words, shook his head and smiled, "Eric, your confidence surprises me even more. ”

"If I hadn't been confident enough, I wouldn't be where I am now. ”

Thinking of the agreement that can be called a miracle, Kapoor nodded helplessly, but still said: "Eric, superstars are not so easy to cultivate, I have worked in CAA for so many years, and I know very well that behind every Hollywood superstar, a top team needs a lot of hard work......"

Eric interrupted Capper's explanation and asked, "Do you think Stuart Runkel is a superstar now?"

Kapoor obviously also knew the little lead actor, and said: "Of course, he can be said to be the top child star in Hollywood, there is no second." ”

"So," Eric asked, "if I were to make a movie like this in the future, and you would be in charge of the main character, would you think you would have what it took to make it one of Hollywood's top superstars?"

"Of course, no problem, but, Eric, this assumption is meaningless, success is difficult to replicate, it can be said that it is completely a kind of luck. ”

"How do you know if you don't try?" said Eric, raising his arms up on the table, his fingers crossed, a little puzzled, "Kapoor, how do I feel...... It's kind of weird, as a seller, aren't you supposed to be trying to sell the company, but I feel like you're not selling, you're pushing the wheel?"

Kapoor shrugged: "Eric, I'm an agent, not a profiteer, I hope we can be honest with each other, and I just want to sell the brokerage company in my hand and give those subordinates who still insist on staying in the company a better home, I don't plan to stay." ”

"When you were an agent, were you so honest in negotiating with film companies on behalf of your clients?"

Kapoor hurriedly shook his head: "Of course not, I will definitely use every qiē method to fight for the greater good of my employer, Eric, these are two different things." ”

"Then I don't have any problems. Kapoor, the condition of my acquisition of your brokerage is that you have to stay. Otherwise, the remaining second- and third-rate brokers don't mean much to me. ”

"Looks like I don't have a choice?"

Eric nodded firmly.

Kapoor took the coffee and sipped it, thought for a moment, and finally agreed, and at the same time had some faint expectations in his heart, maybe this young man who had already created a miracle could continue to create a miracle.
