After some back and forth, Xiao Yang was quite satisfied with the performance of Mr. Brian Newman, and the other party also keenly captured the ambition buried under his calm appearance, since the two sides looked at each other, then the focus of the next discussion naturally shifted to the agent percentage that was crucial to each other. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

For this reason, Xiao Yang summoned his uncle Lin Yuanhang from Pasadena with a phone call.

Considering that Xiao Yang does not belong to the entertainment industry, but the possibility of developing into this circle cannot be completely ruled out, Brian Newman's condition on behalf of CAA is: 20% (after tax) of direct income (after tax) generated through the publicity, packaging, planning, and promotion of his personal image and ability, including but not limited to media interviews, image endorsements, and advertising shooting.

Xiao Yang said that he couldn't accept this: "It's impossible, I can only get 5%. ”

For this kind of reply that is close to insult, Brian Newman was not surprised at all, and it was normal to ask for a price and pay back the money on the spot, so then, the two sides started the bargaining mode at the same time.

"18%, we are already very sincere, you must know that many second-tier stars can't get this discount."

"7%, don't compare me to those characters who can only run around in low-budget dramas, I'm a damn hero."

"16%, which is already on par with many first-line stars, you must know that Judy is only 15%."

"She's her, I'm me, 9%."

"It's impossible, Xiao, even those members of the 10 million club (no movie star in 94 can get 20 million single film salary) can't enjoy such a big discount, no offense, but your current influence and commercial value can't be compared to them...... 15%, this is the maximum and final sincerity we can give. ”

Xiao Yang smiled, "10%, this is the bottom limit I can accept, I won't pay a penny more." ”

"Unfortunately, it seems that we can't negotiate this deal." Brian Newman shook his head and began to slowly put away the contract sample and pen and paper, and put on a posture that the deal would not be benevolent, "Maybe you should try to get in touch with a few other brokerage companies first, UTA, WME, ICM...... I'm sure you'll soon be able to understand what true sincerity is, and of course, CAA's doors are always open for you......"

"Wait a minute, Mr. Newman." The old god was sitting in place on the ground, and when Brian Newman put everything in his briefcase and was about to get up to say goodbye, Xiao Yang lazily raised his right index finger and stopped him, "Can you talk about some personal topics, the kind that is not recorded in the written report?" ”

Lin Yuanhang, who is a lawyer, coughed wisely, "I'm sorry, go to the bathroom." ”

"Do you know where the disagreement between you and me lies? It's not a matter of proportionality, it's about the difference in expectations for my future. Xiao Yang crossed his fingers on the table, looked at Brian Newman who was sitting down again, and said, "Let's assume that if I can accurately foresee the future...... No, the exact box office and awards of every film made in Hollywood in three years, and the development of your company's well-known film and television actors, including your competitors, what does this mean for your company, which is based on running a star economy? ”

Brian Newman gave him a deep look, "But you've also admitted in public that you're predicting the future and changing it?" ”

"That's true, but who can guarantee that the future will actually change because of my prophecy, and who can say that I am changing the future, not creating it?" Xiao Yang leaned forward slightly, and asked rhetorically in an extremely confident tone: "If I tell you now that I can foresee every future U.S. foreign war, oil price fluctuations, stock market ups and downs, and the specific time of every economic crisis, what would that mean?" ”

Brian Newman's eyes narrowed, "This ...... How can it be? ”

"In the early hours of the morning a few days ago, before the earth began to tremble, everyone thought like you!" Xiao Yang hooked the corners of his mouth, and asked in a tone that did not contain any didactic meaning but was extremely seductive~ confused: "Just imagine, if I can really do this, then in addition to the normal salary and commission, can you foresee what kind of benefits you will get, as long as I guide you from time to time?" ”

Brian Newman certainly could foresee all of this, not to mention anything else, as long as he could foresee the rise and fall of the stock market - no, as long as he could foresee the development trend of a few individual stocks, it would be enough to make him a little-known economic man!

At this moment, Brian Newman felt like Ali Baba, who was about to break into the treasure trove, and the overly young prognosticator sitting across from him was the demon wielding the golden key, and although his promise sounded a little ethereal, it was enough to motivate him to gamble the next few years with his accurate prediction of earthquakes, not to mention that the Golden Globes and the Jackson child molestation case gave him two additional chances to confirm his predictions.

Of course, as a non-successful but at least qualified agent, Brian Newman is not the kind of character who does not hesitate to gamble to achieve his goals, and he will not easily believe in a hairy boy who has just known him for less than an hour and has not yet had his own children, but his desire for success and wealth makes him more and more inclined to ignore the possible side effects of betting all his treasure on Xiao Yang - compared with old brokerage companies such as UTA, WME, ICM, etc., CAA's salary is not bad, Newcomers who have just started can get an annual salary of about 40,000 yuan, which is almost equivalent to the standard of the middle class, and a senior person like him can get about 100,000 yuan, but it is too insignificant compared to those big names or senior partners, like Brian Lourdes, one of the founders of the company, can share more than 5 million dividends every year!

In addition, in order to protect the company's reputation and the interests of the client, the company strictly prohibits its employees from engaging in any part-time work that is contrary to the identity and function of the broker, which is also one of the industry rules, in other words, he cannot get any additional benefits from his client other than the salary and the rebate he receives from the business brought to the company by the client, so that the only way to make a career in this industry is to hit a super gold mine like Kim Carrey or Arnold Schwarzenegger.

And at this moment, Xiao Yang's birth made him see a new and different way to make money!
