This year is 2001, if the new film can successfully enter the theater like "Fruit Hard Candy", wouldn't it be your own death if it was released in September? Don't say anything else, at that time, the psychological endurance of the whole United States will definitely be vulnerable to the lowest Cheng dù, such a bloody and cruel film, how many people are willing to watch it?

If possible, Murphy wants to finish it and then find the right distributor to get it into theaters by August.

Noon soon arrived, and after lunch in the studio, and with a few words of advice to Paul Wilson, Murphy went out to get in his Ford and meet up with the people he had made before.

The meeting place was at a café in Century City, and the two parties had an appointment at two o'clock, and Murphy deliberately arrived a little early, and waited for about half an hour before Nick Klebert, whom he had met before, arrived.

"Hello, Nick." Murphy's tone seemed quite familiar, and he couldn't tell that the two were meeting for the second time, "We meet again." ”

Sitting across from him was a middle-aged man in his thirties, the prop master introduced by Carla Firth, who had not been negotiated last time because of the salary.

"Hello, Director Stanton." He nodded to Murphy.

"I'm working on a new piece," the two had already talked over the phone, and Murphy wasn't going around in circles, "I need an experienced prop master." ”

Prop Masters and Makeup Artists are very important for new projects, and Makeup Artists will continue to use Jack Watson, and there are no suitable candidates for prop masters.

Nick Klebert is Murphy's first choice for the time being, the other party has been in the industry for more than ten years, and has participated in the shooting of many films, including the second-tier system zuò with an investment of more than 10 million dollars, which is definitely experienced.

"Director Stanton, I've seen the work plan you sent me in my mailbox." Nick Klebert rested one hand on his coffee cup and frowned, "It could conflict with my work schedule, and I'm going to be working on a big project at DreamWorks in July." ”

Hearing the other party use DreamWorks to inflate his worth without a trace, Murphy smiled and said, "The two jobs are not in conflict, it's only March now, and my project can be completed by late May at the latest." You'll be on the set for a maximum of five weeks......"

After the last Carla Firth recommendation, Murphy has seen the works that the other party participated in, this is indeed a very capable person, if you want to impress such a person, no amount of saliva is rhetoric, it is better to use the most practical method.

Murphy spoke calmly, "I promise, your weekly salary will not be less than five thousand dollars." ”

That's a high number for a second-tier prop master.

Hearing this number, Nick Klebert was obviously a little moved, but he didn't immediately agree, thought for a while, and said, "My agent is not present, I can't answer." ”

"Can you know his contact information?" Murphy knew that the other party was already tempted, Nick Klebert took out a business card and handed it over, Murphy took it and looked at it, "I'll contact him." ”

If there are no accidents, this prop master is finalized.

Leaving the café, Murphy didn't go back to the studio, first made a phone call to Bill Rothes, walked around Century City, and walked into the building where CAA was located.

Taking the elevator straight to the floor where Bill Rothes worked, Murphy recalled, walked down a long hallway to the end, knocked on an office door.

It's a large office with multiple people, and in addition to Bill Rothes' desk by the window, Murphy sees at least four other desks, which also shows Bill Rosys' position in the brokerage industry and CAA.

As Murphy thought, he was just one of many ordinary agents at CAA.

"Hi, Murphy." Bill Rothes walked over and greeted warmly, "This way." ”

He was not the only agent in the office, not a place to speak, and he led Murphy out of the office and into a nearby reception room.

"Sit casually." Bill Rothes pointed to the couch in the reception room, walked over to the shelf where the drinks were kept, and asked, "What to drink?" ”

"Water will do." Murphy looked at the reception room, which was luxuriously decorated.

Bill Rothes brought a glass of water, placed it on the coffee table next to Murphy, and sat down on another couch.

"Is the script complete?" He looked unusually concerned, "When will you start preparing?" What do I need to do? ”

"I'm still working on the script." Murphy took a sip of his glass and said unhurriedly, "It will probably take next month to start preparations." ”

"Hmm." Bill Rothes nodded, but reminded, "If there's anything I need to do, just ask." ”

From "Hard Fruit Candy", he received a commission of five percent, and the $50,000 could at least increase his income by nearly half this year.

And as an ordinary agent, who wouldn't want to continue to climb up and go to the upper floor to have a private office with a dedicated female assistant?

Not to mention what big-name directors he has, as long as he can have a second-rate director, he can enjoy this kind of treatment, and the value that a second-rate director can create is valued by the CAA, far more than a second-rate actor.

But who would want to cooperate with an agent like him with a director with a certain reputation? Like other agents who climb up to the top of the actors or directors, digging yourself is the most reliable way.

Now, he's taken Murphy's potential to that level.

Bill Rothes has been given the exact news that under Miramax's operation, "Hard Candy" has generated nearly five times the North American box office and more than ten times the total market output at a production cost of $300,000, and this number is still increasing......

It's a circle that speaks by results after all, and Bill Rothes thinks Murphy is likely to bring a breakthrough for himself.

Of course, he should pay great attention to such super potential customers.

Bill Rothes looked at Murphy as if he were looking at the most beautiful woman in the world.

Came to find him, of course Murphy had something, put down the glass and said, "You also know that when filming "Hard Candy", most of them were hired with low salaries and lack of ability, except for Jack Watson, I will not work with them again." ”

Bill Rothes nodded slightly, this is also what he values Murphy, with such a group of pigs, not to mention the successful completion of "Hard Fruit Candy", the final effect exceeded his expectations.

He has been in the crew for a long time, like a lighting engineer and a set designer or something, it is simply pure labor, and he can't keep up with Murphy's train of thought at all, so he can only passively complete his own work under the command of him, the director, and it is not even a basic cooperation.

Of course, he also knows that with Murphy's salary, meeting someone like Jack Watson can only be said to be lucky.

"The new crew needs a lot of behind-the-scenes work." Murphy added, "I need people with guaranteed ability, and there should be no shortage of such people under CAA, right?" ”

"There is definitely no shortage, even if you are a novice, if you can sign a contract with CAA, the ability is guaranteed."

After saying this, Bill Rossies's heart moved, and he remembered the strategy that CAA relied on as fundamental, isn't now a good opportunity? He said, "Murphy, leave these things to me to pack and deal with." ”
