Looking at Bill Rosses next to him with a tired but energetic face, the jealousy in Mike's heart was growing like a plague, but he hid it well, and his face still had that congratulatory expression.

I think that at the beginning, he and Bill Rothes went to the set of "Hard Candy" in the San Fernando Valley to investigate the director Murphy Stanton, although the other party has some potential, he only thinks that this is just an ordinary guy, like all people who come to Hollywood to pursue their dreams, and disappear after a movie.

When he first heard that Bill Rothes had signed this little director, he sat in his office and sprayed the coffee he drank into his mouth on the newspaper in front of him, laughing at Bill Rothes for being too delusional.

But what about now? Bill Rothes has a directing client that grosses more than $60 million at the North American box office!

These, not only him, but among the agents who came out of the mailroom together, everyone drooled with envy!

Because, that director's client named Murphy Stanton will directly change the fate of Bill Rosses, the agent!

No! It should have changed!

The company is about to move to the nearby "Death Star" building, buying the top eight floors, and according to reliable sources, the management has already made a decision that Bill Rothes will have a private office on the second floor from above!

In other words, he has jumped from many low-level brokers to second-level brokers in the company!

Maybe there is a possibility of becoming a partner in the future.

How can the circulating news make Mike not jealous, he was once so close to Murphy Stanton, so close that he could even send an invitation to sign him; Now it's so far away, so far that he has nothing to do with himself.

If Murphy Stanton is signed at that time, it will be him Mike who will be enjoying this qiē, not Bill Rothes next to him!

Why didn't he sign Murphy Stanton? Although he knew that it was too late, Mike inevitably regretted it.

Murphy Stanton, the director, changed the fate of Bill Rossies, and where are the clients who can make a difference for themselves?

On the other side, Grace spoke affectionately with Bill Rothes, with a smile on his face that was more cordial than he did to the CEOs of Hollywood's six major companies.

She also knows the changes that director Murphy Stanton has brought to Bill Rothes, and she also knows that such a client can almost decide the fate of an agent, and she also wants one like this very much.

However, the CAA has strict rules, and in order to prevent the tragedy of the decline of William Morris, from the time Michael Ovitz was first founded, vicious internal competition was strictly prohibited.

However, Grace also saw the opportunity, Murphy Stanton's "Saw Horror" exceeded $60 million at the North American box office alone, and the global box office is very likely to exceed $100 million, and it is impossible for the company's management to turn a blind eye to customers of this level, let alone leave it to Bill Rothes alone.

Like other high-profile clients, CAA's cross-management service for Murphy Stanton was a no-brainer!

That way, there could be four to six condominium brokers brokering Murphy Stanton, and that's a hard and fast rule of the CAA, and it's by no means something Bill Rothes can resist.

Of course, Bill Rothes' opinion is very important when it comes to choosing a cross-management broker for the CAA, which is why she ingratiates favors with the other side.

Grace's goal is simple, to become Murphy Stanton's condominium agent, and to take a hard bite of this already tempting cake and share it deliciously.

Mike and Grace each had their own ideas, and even when Brian Lauder, the partner in charge of film and television, entered the conference room to announce the start of the meeting, the two were still thinking about their own business.

For companies that do business, time is money, unless necessary, no one will waste too much time in meetings, Brian Lauder can take over the position of Jay Maloney, who committed suicide by drug addiction, naturally understands this truth, the whole meeting is simple, straightforward, and ends at half past eight.

"Bill, you stay."

At the end of the meeting, Brian Lauder, who was sitting at the front, called out to Bill Rosys.

Those who are heading out, especially those of similar status and seniority to Bill Rosys, look back with either envy or jealousy.

They all know that Bill Rothes suddenly has a very good rookie director, and even the company's management inevitably pays attention.

Bill Rothes walked to the conference table in the middle and sat down to Brian Lauder's left-hand side, the tall, muscular bald man nodding at him.

Soon there was no one else in the room, and even the door was closed from the outside, and Brian Lauder shook his bald head and said, "...... on Murphy Stanton's business"

He looked at Bill Rothes, "You're doing a good job. ”

Bill Rothes, however, said, "Murphy has great ability in his own right, and his potential is more than that. ”

Instead of answering him, Brian Lauder said, "When the company moves to Death Star Tower, you'll have a separate office, and most of the company's existing resources and network can be used appropriately." ”

Although the agent does not say that Zài is promoted, Bill Rothes understands that his status is really going to be improved, and the bet on Murphy has paid off.

With his hands propped up on the table, Brian Lauder rubbed his right hand against his left, "Is there still an internship contract between the company and Murphy?" ”

"Yes." Bill Rothes hastened to say, "I communicated with Murphy that he is now on holiday in Australia and will come back to talk to us about a new brokerage contract. ”

Brian Lauder advised, "This is to be done in a hurry. ”

"I will." Bill Rothes nodded.

"Don't relax, any client may leave their broker." Brian Lauder suddenly changed the subject, "I got the news that William Morris also has someone interested in Murphy. ”

This is not surprising to Bill Rosith, a rookie director whose second film fetched $60 million in North America will inevitably arouse the covetousness of the agency.

"Don't worry, the company will fully support you, and if you encounter difficulties, you can always speak."

After saying this word of encouragement, Brian Lauder's words suddenly changed, "This matter will encounter competition from other companies, and there should be a few more people to help you." ”

Bill Rosis understood the meaning of this sentence, and his heart was gradually sinking, but he knew that it could not be avoided.

Brian Lauder is no longer going around in circles, "The company is going to equip Murphy Stanton with four agents, of course, you will be the main one, and your opinion will be taken into account if the candidate is selected." ”

Suppressing the restlessness in his heart, Bill Rothes said as calmly as possible, "I'll communicate with Murphy." ”

This takes away not only the authority, but also the monetary benefits, even if the CAA's policy is special, the commission obtained by four brokers is not as good as that of one broker.

sighed lightly in his heart, what could he say? The company has always done this, and it is not aimed at a single person, and Murphy's achievements this time are really so good that even a company like CAA can't ignore it.

But he thought of the other side, "Murphy could be in trouble." ”

"Huh?" Brian Lauder looked at him quizzically.

Bill Rothes thought for a moment and said, "Murphy wasn't very sensible when he was younger, and he once made trouble in Somer Rayshidong's house. ”

The CAA's database of Murphy had this, and Brian Lauder had seen it, smiled absently, and said, "Didn't he get a year in prison for this?" The price has already been paid, Hollywood is so big, and it is not only Paramount, with Murphy Stanton's current fame and status, do you think it can attract the attention of Summer-Ray Shidong? ”

Bill Rothes didn't say anything more, at most they didn't work with Paramount, as long as Murphy could maintain the profitability of "Saw Horror", there would be many companies that wanted to work with such directors.

"I remember that his first two films were written and directed by himself?" Brian Lauder continued, "Is there a new plan? ”

"He's preparing." Bill Rothes thought for a moment and said, "It seems like I started writing a new script some time ago." ”

"A sequel to Saw?"

Bill Rothes shook his head, "I don't know either. ”

"When the script is finished," Brian Lauder stood up, "remember to bring him to the company, and I'll organize someone to take a look at it and make a project estimate." ”

Bill Rothes also stood up, "I'll do my best to inform Murphy." ”

Obviously, the terrifying return on investment ratio of "Saw Horror" would be tempting even for CAA.

Brian Lauder left the conference room, but Bill Rothes stayed, took out his phone, found Murphy's number, and dialed.

Great Barrier Reef, Victoria Great Ocean Road, Desert Wave Rocks, Blue Mountains National Park, Ayers Rocks...... These places have left the footsteps of Murphy and Carey Mulligan, who left their jobs behind, their worries behind, and completely immersed themselves in the relaxed atmosphere of their vacation, and for a while planned to drop off in New Zealand.

However, Murphy received a call from Bill Rothes, Carey Mulligan's acting school program was not yet complete, and the two boarded a plane back to Los Angeles in Melbourne ten days after leaving David Robbie's farmstead.

Back in the City of Angels, Murphy was pushing his luggage and a bunch of souvenirs and Australian specialties that Carey Mulligan had bought, and just walked out of the plane when he was stopped by a man who suddenly appeared.

"Hello, Director Stanton."

It was a very middle-aged man with glasses, with a bit of Jewish features on his face, and he seemed to be waiting for them here, "Hello, Miss Mulligan. ”

Murphy stopped and looked at him suspiciously, "Excuse me, who are you?" ”

The man smiled, handed over a business card, and then introduced himself, "I'm Martin Miller, from William Morris. (To be continued.) )
