The relationship between the agency and the film company is very delicate, on the one hand, the two sides are in a cooperative relationship, and every work of the film company must pass through the hands of the agency company, actors, screenwriters, directors, photographers, ...... Each position has a corresponding broker, and the two sides maintain a good cooperative relationship for a long time, which is a virtuous circle; On the one hand, the two sides are divided into interests, both sides hope to win more benefits, and the film company has the upper hand most of the time, because no one in Hollywood is irreplaceable, but if the fish is broken and scattered, the agency is not afraid at all, especially the top giant crocodile such as the innovative artist agency, no one will easily tear the skin.

The first 20 million salary, the first package cooperation project, and the first actor to participate in box office dividends...... These are all promoted by innovative artist agencies, which completely reversed the absolute weak position of actors in the process of cooperation with film companies, and opened the "era of stars". This shows the energy of the brokerage company.

When it comes to dealing with innovative artist agencies, Lance has to keep a balance in check. If they are pressed too hard, they can replace Ben Affleck with Cliff Owen like the original "Sin City" and continue to cooperate, Ben was still the object of great admiration, but now Robert Downey Jr. is of limited value to the innovative artist agency, and it is completely maintained by the connections in the circle, and the innovative artist agency itself does not spend too much energy on Robert - otherwise Robert would not personally go to besiege Lance and Percy to fight for opportunities, so, Once Lance exerts too much pressure, the choice of an innovative artist's agency is clear.

But the problem is that Lance doesn't want to replace Robert, aside from the success of the previous life, now that Lance has the evidence, he can win more advantages for Chaos Pictures, and Lance naturally doesn't want this advantage to rot in his hands.

So, Lance was just knocking on the mountain.

After hanging up the phone, Lance dialed Theo's mobile phone number and began to talk about the "interesting things" that happened in a short period of time with a leisurely expression; At the same time, innovative artist agencies are jumping up and down, although they are the first of the five major agencies today, they are still unwilling to easily offend a top brand like Lance, whether it is seeking fame or profit, Lance is the best choice in Hollywood at present.

Terrance's first reaction was to contact several agents, including Wade Russell and Mark Johnson, and after briefly explaining the situation, others began to use their connections to inquire, they must know how far the situation has developed now, whether the so-called evidence is real, and how many paparazzi have the evidence.

Terrance then dialed Robert's phone, but no one answered! Terrance hurriedly began to call the phones of other people around Robert, hoping to contact Robert as soon as possible, but it was like a stone in the sea, even his assistant had no clue, and even had to mobilize Robert's new wife Susan-Downey (Susan-Downey) to start searching, could it be that Robert was hiding in a corner at this time?

After a big circle, Susan found Robert through the house's nanny, "I was in the gym just now. This is the reason given by Robert, but whether it is true or not, only Robert himself knows.

"You're kidding me!" Terrance's foul words flew out directly, but he quickly restrained himself, and now there are more urgent matters to deal with, "Tell me, have you met with the previous traffickers during this time?" ”

“…… No! Robert paused for a moment, but said categorically, "Terrance, you should know that I'm clean, completely clean, and I'll be ...... after I got to know Susan."

"You don't need to swear in front of me, I don't care if you're relapsing, I don't care at all!" Terrance rudely interrupted Robert's sworn words, "But now the question is, there are rumors that the paparazzi took pictures of you and the traffickers getting together, so, tell me, is it true?" "Or are those paparazzi unscrupulous, this kind of situation is not uncommon, and there are countless cases of extortion and blackmail, so he needs Robert to admit it himself, so that they can work with the PR team to develop a coping strategy.

"Terrance!" Robert shouted, his words full of bitterness, but there was no more, and Terrance raised his hand and smashed the coffee cup on the table against the wall, "Grass! Hasty, hasty, hasty! Terrance uttered a series of foul words, as evidenced by Robert's silence and hesitation, and Terrance only felt the anger burning in his chest.

"Big/hemp, it's just a dozen big/hemp!" Robert hurriedly pleaded, "Besides, I didn't plan to smoke at all, I just ...... Just want to smell it. I swear, I mean it really! I really didn't plan on pumping! It's true! You don't tell Susan, okay? ”

"I said, I don't care, it doesn't matter if it's big/hemp, whether it's sea/luo/cause, it doesn't make any difference to me, even if you overdose and die in the bathtub, I won't blink!" Terrance waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "But no one can smash the project I want, no one can ruin my reputation, hell did you hear me?" No one! If you still want to make a comeback, you/me to keep it clean! If you still want to play a superhero, you can/all the big/hemp hidden for me! ”

As Terence said, in fact, it is not the end of the world for artists to be involved/drugs, as long as they are not caught by the media, everything is fine. But for Robert, the drug/product problem is not so simple, because Robert will have an accident on the crew every time, which affects the filming progress of the crew, and even affects other staff and partners. Now, is Robert going to repeat the same mistake again?

Terrance clearly knew that if Robert made trouble in Reims's crew, then with Lance's current prestige and connections, it would be almost effortless to pinch Robert to death. At that time, innovative artist agencies will also be labeled as lax management, which is the last thing Terrance wants.

"Robert Downey Jr!" Almost gritting his teeth, Terrance said, word for word, "Throw all those damn big/hemp/cigarette rolls down the toilet bowl or I'll just replace you." It's hard to find acting geniuses, and vases playing superheroes are all over the streets! ”

“…… Terence! Robert tried to argue a few words, but the phone was hung up. Robert hurriedly dialed back, but there was only a busy sound, and his whole heart was already half cold. The whole person was stunned in place, and then rushed to the bathroom, took out all the big/hemp hidden in the toilet paper roll, threw it into the toilet bowl, and quickly flushed it out.

After hanging up the phone, Terrance immediately called the PR company they worked with, and they had to take precautions, no matter what the situation was in Lance, they had to be prepared for more paparazzi to have evidence and even break the news, only in this way could they ensure that things would not deviate from the development track.

After the explanation, Terrance temporarily held a meeting with other agents to discuss a preliminary result, and then adjusted his mood and redialed Lance's phone number. At this point, forty minutes have passed.

The phone rang for a while and no one answered, Terrance took a long sip of whiskey, trying to calm himself down and not be swayed by irritable emotions, and finally, the phone was connected, "Hey, Lance!" Terrance took the initiative to say hello, and his enthusiastic attitude took the lead in making a stand, "Sorry, I was a little stumbling just now, and I was a little late to call back." ”

"Hope brings good news." Lance seemed to have calmed down, but the coldness and detachment in his words made Terrance ring the alarm bells.

Looking back on the confrontation in the past few years, when we first met, he was proud, he had just signed Woody Allen, and his career was on the rise, so he naturally didn't care too much about a small director like Lance; But in the blink of an eye, their position has changed dramatically, not to mention that he is an agent, even the CEO of an innovative artist agency needs to maintain a good attitude in front of Lance.

Terrance let out a long breath and weighed his tone, "So, can you tell me more about the specifics, I mean, what the hell are those rumors?" How much truth did the paparazzi know? ”

Lance raised an eyebrow, "You mean, all of this is chasing after the wind?" Terrance meant to defend Robert, and Lance didn't follow Terrance's guidance, so he directly pierced the window paper and asked back.

"Who knows? Hehe, this is Hollywood, and the slightest rumor can ruin the reputation of a star. Terrance said bluntly that he needed to know how much evidence Lance had -- or rather, how much evidence the paparazzi had and how much Lance had known.

Lance chuckled, and Terrance meant that if the matter wasn't serious, the matter would be over, "Then I said, because of this little bit of rumor, I'm going to replace the actor, what do you think of this proposal?" ”

So strong, barely giving too many maneuvering tones, Terrance impulsively wanted to push back by the neck, "Then replace!" But he knew that he couldn't, that it was an irrational choice. In the confrontation with Lance, any bit of irrationality can become a trap dug for yourself, "Ha, your sense of humor is always so good. ”
