Glass of dark beer was sent to more than a dozen tables like water, the aroma of barbecue wafted around, and the sound of clinking glasses kept ringing, and the crew who had been busy for a long time ushered in a rare moment of relaxation, especially to make the boss and director vomit blood once, this refreshing feeling is really rare for the employees of the crew.

In their eyes, Murphy is simply synonymous with misers.

But Bill Rossis, who sat at the same table as Murphy, didn't see it that way, and in his eyes, Murphy was a person who knew how to make plans very well.

The importance of planning for a director cannot be overstated.

We've talked about brokerage before, and after that's all the time, Murphy said, "Bill, to be honest, I don't need an agent right now, I'm making a film that I'm investing in." ”

Putting down the glass, Bill Rothes raised his finger and shook it at Murphy, "That's right, your crew has gone through the most difficult start and is in normal operation, and the appearance of an agent will really not help you shoot." ”

He accentuated his tone, "But Murphy, have you ever thought about how your film will enter the distribution channel?" ”

Murphy opened his mouth, but said nothing, he had already thought about distribution, and the best way to do it was to go to Hollywood's many distribution companies to promote the film.

There is really nothing to say about this kind of method that any person in the industry can think of.

"With me on board, it's different." Agents are undoubtedly people who can talk well, and Bill Rothes is certainly no exception, "I'm just an ordinary entertainment agent, but I have a huge company behind me, and I have a lot of resources in the company that I can use, and you must know the strength and status of my agency in the industry." ”

When he signed with Carey Mulligan, Murphy knew that Bill Rothes was part of a vast entertainment agency empire - CAA!

Bill Rothes continued, "I know a lot of people, even if I don't count the company's resources, I have my own network that can help you introduce buyers from distribution companies, and I can also help you run independent film festivals and sell your films. ”

Murphy's right index finger tapped lightly on the tabletop, apparently thinking.

"As you know," continued Bill Rossies' pursuit...... "If a film is shot but doesn't make it to the distribution channel, there's almost no point in saving it." ”

This point of view coincides with Murphy, any wonderful film is only the basis for success, and complete publicity is a necessary condition for brilliance.

Not to mention the films he shoots of this kind of actual average quality, even those recognized classic films, how many of them have caused investors to vomit blood and die because of publicity problems?

He has no qualifications, no network, and no distribution channels, and if he can borrow the power of his agent, he will inevitably face fewer difficulties after the film is completed.

Murphy was not naïve enough to think that the filming was over, he found a few distribution companies, threw out a promotional plan, and the other party would obediently take the bait and sign a fairer distribution contract with him.

That's an idea only for kindergarten children, and how difficult it is to distribute independent Hollywood films, even he, who is new to the entertainment industry, knows very well.

"Murphy, I can't guarantee how much CAA resources will be invested in you, and with my position in the company, I can't make such a guarantee."

Bill Rothes knows that if you want to impress someone like Murphy, it's better not to talk about it, and it's more effective to show enough sincerity, "but I'm going to do my best to run this film for you, find the right distribution channel for it, so that Hard Candy can really be in front of the audience, not in a warehouse." ”

"Oh, that sounds really exciting." Murphy raised an eyebrow, but relieved, "One thing you need to know is that I got $100,000 from Kobe Bryant, and the handler should be from your CAA." ”

"These are not problems." Bill Rothes didn't seem to care at all, "We're two completely different departments from the sports agent, and the basketball department isn't American football, and the CAA doesn't care much about it. ”

This is an invitation from CAA's agent, thinking about CAA's strength and status in the field of entertainment brokerage, Murphy said that it must be a lie if he is not moved, and it is not unreasonable to say that he has his back to the big tree to enjoy the shade.

After weighing it for a while, Murphy slowly spoke, "Let me think about it for a while, I will give you a definite answer before the production of "Fruit Hard Candy" is completed. ”

Bill Rothes held out a hand, "One word is certain." ”

Murphy slapped him on the hand, "One word is a deal!" ”

Both of them actually have their own ideas, and it goes without saying that Murphy wants to borrow the resources of an agent like Bill Rothes who has a certain level of experience in Hollywood; Bill Rothes's words may not be completely credible, Murphy signed a brokerage contract with him, which is nothing more than one more potential stock, and Murphy did not sign in the end, he actually had nothing to lose except for wasting some saliva.

Entertainment agents are all extremely shrewd characters, how can they make a loss-making deal?

The word just now is just talking.

Murphy certainly knows this, but with a good agent, there are bound to be fewer detours in the future.

"It's not too early." Bill Rothes looked at his watch and took his leave, "I'm going back to Los Angeles, so I'll go first." ”

"Goodbye." Murphy didn't keep him either, just reminded, "Bill, give me back my heroine as much as you can." ”

"You'll see him soon."

Bill Rothes turned to leave, and before he could walk out of the rotisserie, James Franco approached Murphy with a large glass of dark beer, and he was not polite and sat directly across from him.

"Cheers!" He touched Murphy's glass on the table and took a long sip of beer, Murphy picked up his glass, "Cheers." ”

He also took a big sip.

Maybe he drank a little too much, James Franco had a little drunken on his face, "You know, Murphy, in this crew, the person I admire the most is you." ”

"No......" he waved his hand, "Of the people I've met in the last two years, you're the one I admire the most." ”

"Huh?" Murphy was puzzled.

"Turning a demonic girl ......around," James Franco said in a low voice, with the strength of his wine, "isn't it worth admiring that you're the best person in the world?" ”

Murphy shook his head, and instead of answering his words, he said, "You've drunk too much, Jim, it's time to go back and rest, and we'll shoot tomorrow." ”

After speaking, he stood up and clapped his hands vigorously, "Okay, everyone, that's all for tonight, go back early to rest, and work tomorrow!" ”
