Chapter 59: The Dust Settles
In fact, Li Xuan was not very interested in the research and discussion process between Martin Scott and Chen Zixiang on various details and matters during the negotiation.
On the one hand, he just had a general understanding, and there would be no danger of digging a hole for himself, and more specific matters were all left to Chen Zixiang, the agent next to him, to deal with and negotiate, and he was actually just barely listening with his ears.
After all, professional things must always be handed over to professional talents to do, and he only needs to grasp the goals and general directions for himself.
Of course, since both sides did have quite keen expectations for the goal of cooperation, the atmosphere between the two sides during this negotiation process was very good, and there were not too many principled opposing sides. Most of the time, the two sides were even able to negotiate a good settlement, so that the negotiations moved very quickly.
It didn't seem to be long before the two professional agents from the East and West easily reached an agreement, which made Li Xuan feel very satisfied.
Indeed, it is easy to see from the negotiation process that Martin Scott has always taken him very seriously, and has not deliberately set any special traps. And Chen Zixiang's side will definitely not deliberately delay his future prospects. The negotiation attitude and professionalism of the two of them are very conscientious and responsible, and they are also very efficient.
So, maybe after a few cups of coffee were drunk, the cooperation intention between them was officially reached so smoothly. Basically, Li Xuan only needed to sign the final name with the other party on the formal contract provided by CAA, and everything was done, and his personal brokerage affairs in North America were successfully outsourced to CAA, and Martin Scott was in charge.
"Hahaha, this cooperation negotiation between us is really very pleasant, and I believe that such a situation can be regarded as an extremely beautiful sign and foreshadowing for our respective futures. So, we will definitely have great success in the future, let's work hard together!" Martin Scott is probably an optimist by nature, and he took the initiative very happily as soon as the negotiations ended.
And Chen Zixiang, a mature and steady agent in Xiangjiang, immediately nodded in agreement: "Indeed, I have rarely been able to encounter such smooth cooperation negotiations, which is really a rare and fortunate experience." I hope that we can all cherish the friendly atmosphere now, cooperate with each other, achieve our respective goals together, and complete a win-win situation!"
"Speaking of luck, I am actually the luckiest person, and now I can have such a powerful and professional agent as the two of you at the same time, I really want to thank God again for your favor!" At this time, Li Xuan was obviously much happier in personal emotions than the two agents who had a sense of accomplishment after completing the negotiation, and he also had a little involuntary emotion.
He already recognized these two agents from the bottom of his heart, even though Chen Zixiang had only managed him for a few months, and Martin Scott had only known him for a few days. But sometimes, the eye and fate are very important, and the communication between them is very comfortable, which makes him very satisfied.
And Martin Scott laughed again at Li Xuan's praise for this: "Li, I will prove to you that my vision will not be bad, and you will not regret choosing me." Now, I will take you to CAA to complete the final tasks of signing the contract, and by the way, I will visit the general environment of your future company in North America. ”
Li Xuan immediately became energetic: "Okay, let's hurry up and take a look, I am very curious about this famous agency that claims to be able to control Hollywood." Also, I want to see which superstars you've signed up for, and what kind of superstar deals you're giving them?"
"In a few minutes, you will know these details for yourself, now please come with me!" Martin Scott threw the money for coffee on the table, not waiting for the waiter's change, and quickly motioned for Li Xuan and Chen Zixiang to follow him.
Li Xuan and Chen Zixiang, who were already looking forward to this, immediately followed closely.
With an acquaintance to lead the way, entering the famous brokerage company CAA, Li Xuan naturally will not seem too embarrassed and unfamiliar.
However, even if he was prepared and mentally very good, he was inevitably quite surprised afterwards!
Because in the short time he followed Martin Scott into the elevator of the CAA office building, he had already seen several familiar faces, all of which should have been familiar images that he had seen in some Hollywood movies, and they were the legendary stars.
Sure enough, this is indeed a big logistics team behind the scenes of Hollywood stars, and it is the basic force that allows stars to gain a halo, and stars are haunted very frequently!
"I suddenly want to ask, how many artists have been signed by your company, and do you have more accurate statistics?" Li Xuan followed Martin Scott to visit the various departments of CAA, saw a lot of familiar faces, and gradually threw out this slightly naïve question.
Martin Scott's answer was beyond Li Xuan's expectations: "If you ask me which celebrities have signed top-level contracts and which stars have signed second-tier contracts, I can come up with a more accurate number." But when it comes to the total number of artists signed by CAA as a whole, then I don't know. In fact, even our Mr. President, it is estimated that it is impossible to answer your question accurately for a while. Because our company is too big and too strong, the number of people in the entire celebrity behind-the-scenes team such as employees, professional agents, etc., is very large, and it is even more difficult to describe all the artists we serve!"
"Alas, big companies, it's crazy!" Chen Zixiang also paid attention to and understood the intuitive environment of the entire CAA on the side, and couldn't help but sigh subconsciously. Obviously, he should have deliberately compared with Xiangjiang's Hejia Company in his heart before he had this slightly admiring emotional attitude.
"It seems that my next struggle in Hollywood will not be as easy as I thought it would be, but it should be a very difficult task. I'm just a new sign-up to your company, and theoretically the position should be at the bottom. If you want to get the best treatment in your company, you have to work hard to fight your way through the encirclement and defeat countless powerful stars. I think it's a long way to go, and the future is uncertain!"
Li Xuan happened to see a place similar to a star wall in CAA by chance, and he couldn't help but sigh at the celebrity photos that seemed to be arranged according to their fame and worth, and gradually attracted attention.
And Martin Scott immediately patted Li Xuan on the shoulder and comforted after seeing Li Xuan staring at those star walls very attentively: "Don't be presumptuous, I'm not the lowest-level agent, in the CAA company, my status belongs to the category of middle-level brokers, and I am in the middle class." So, you don't need to struggle from the lowest level, my various resources are not bad, your starting point is okay, just relax!"
"Really, let's go to the office and sign, or I'm afraid you'll regret it." Li Xuan suddenly said with a smile.
