Terrance Cox looks about forty years old, a silver suit with a light blue shirt, a shiny bald head makes him look energetic and confident, holding a pair of black ultra-sunglasses in his hands, and standing with his feet wide open, the appearance of a successful Wall Street person.

"Back in March, a friend of mine recommended me to see the City of God, but due to a busy schedule, I haven't been in the cinema for nearly half a year, so I haven't been able to make the trip. It's a shame that the movie is now offline, and I hope that the videotape of the movie will be released as soon as possible, so that I can have a chance to enjoy it. ”

The words like bullets, full of confidence, subdued and frustrated, did not deliberately flatter, but used some small details to make the words real and credible. Just a meeting makes people feel good.

"I'm a little flattered by this, and people who don't know think 'The Lord of the Rings' is my work." Lance's answer was witty and wise, which made Terrance laugh, and his bold appearance added a touch of domineering.

"You'd better be restrained two ways, it's public." George, who was standing on the side, was slightly restrained and smiled helplessly.

Terrance raised his hands and made a gesture of surrender, showing an innocent expression, "I just think that Lance is really a master of conversation, and he made Jay Renault scramble before." It's been a long time since 'The Tonight Show' was that exciting. After meeting today, it was indeed so. Inadvertently, Terrance gave Lance another top hat.

George turned to look at Lance, "Look, you've got another admirer." There was still a hint of helplessness in the teasing voice, and then he suddenly flashed a hint of enlightenment, as if he remembered something, "By the way, Lance, don't you have an agent yet?" Terrance is a top agent, and maybe he can give you some advice. ”

Broker?

Lance looked surprised, and his eyes made contact with Terrance. Terrance's eyes widened in surprise, "Are you kidding me?" You don't have an agent? I thought that after 'City of God' gained traction at the Sundance Film Festival, you were no longer available. "Brokerage contracts are no longer available.

Lance shrugged and chuckled, "Maybe everyone is overestimating the influence of independent films, I'm not Joel Cohen." ”

"So, you're Quentin Tarantino?" Terrance chuckled again with a casual remark, and then he took out the business card case from his pants pocket, "Well, if you have any questions about the broker, please feel free to contact me, and we can discuss it further." I'm still pretty confident about this part. ”

Lance politely took Terrance's business card and said with a smile, "Please don't miss a call." ”

This made Terrance laugh again, and he patted George on the back, "As much as I'd love to be able to sit down and continue to talk to you, I still have work on my face, and I'll have to leave after I get a cup of coffee." So, hopefully next time we can sit down and have a good talk. Terrance looked at Lance again, "Especially when you experience Jay Reynolds, it should be amazing." ”

The three of them exchanged pleasantries again, and then Terrance strode around and into the coffee house.

After watching Terrance leave, George and Lance sat down again, George took the initiative to say, "He's a top agent," Lance glanced down at the business card, the innovative artist agency, the current top five Hollywood agencies, no one can shake its dominance for ten years. "Very competent, excellent interpersonal skills, and impressive operational skills."

"Your agent?" Lance raised his eyebrows and asked directly.

George found that Lance looked straight over, and the sharp eyes like stabbing made his heart chuckle, but the feeling was fleeting, and in the blink of an eye, he found that Lance was still looking straight over, but the blue eyes were soft and clear.

"No, it's not." George shook his head and said with an involuntary pause, "He's Steven Soderbergh's agent, and Terry Gilliam." I heard he went to New York this time with the goal of taking down Woody Allen. I forgot to ask him just now, but looking at his watch, it should have been a success. ”

Obviously, the three names mentioned by George are very representative, full of personality, distinctive style, and talented, and may not be a big name at the North American box office, but they are definitely important characters worth mentioning in all genres. Terrance's style and ability are on display.

In fact, this isn't the first broker Reims has come across in recent times. Thanks to the excellent performance of "City of God" in the past few months, Lance's ability as a director and screenwriter has been recognized, and he has truly entered Hollywood and become a member of the industry chain.

Unlike producers, who can take care of their own work, directors, screenwriters, and actors all need to deal with film companies, negotiate contracts, box office dividends, interest competitions, power games, etc., as well as work contacts, chores, media public relations, etc., all of which need to be handled by agents.

It's not a necessary choice, but it's the right one.

Because a person's energy is limited after all, and a person's ability is also limited. Not only can agents share these tasks, but they are also more professional, know how to deal with large companies, and have the resources in their hands to receive more jobs for artists.

Lance has always only had one assistant to Percy, but the assistant is to deal with the chores of life, and the trivial tasks at work still need to be taken care of by the agent. Aside from the need for a professional license for brokers, there is also a gap in the relevant business capabilities. Therefore, in the past period, three agents have contacted Lance before and after, and Mao recommended himself, hoping to become Lance's agent. Terrance counted as the fourth.

Is the appearance of Terrance really a coincidence today? Or was it deliberately arranged by George? If yes, then what does it mean, they have realized that the success of the "City of God" is irreversible, so looking for an agent to control their actions? No, such a possibility is not high, because brokers are also profit-oriented, and it is impossible to sacrifice their own interests to serve others. So, what is the role of a broker? Do you monitor your work?

Countless possibilities were tumbling in his mind, but Lance quickly controlled his thoughts and smiled at George without any scheming, "I didn't expect that I was already at the time when I could use an agent, which I didn't expect." ”

George couldn't help but laugh, "As you work more and more, you're going to need an agent." ”

Lance held up his business card and smiled, "Maybe I should give him a call." As he spoke, George's gaze paused, which made Lance raise his eyebrows and show a look of surprise, which made George smile embarrassedly, "Wander for a moment." Obviously, George also knows how to get to the point, and Lance accepted the business card, and he didn't rush to persuade him anymore, which led to "wandering".

Lance turned his head and followed George's line of sight, but he didn't see anything unusual on the street, "So, you saw your date tonight?" His eyes swept around the crowd, trying to spot a woman who matched George's aesthetic.

"I don't want to break the law." George couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and he pointed to Lance, "I'm looking at that little Lori, she looks like she's in some trouble." ”

Lance noticed that next to the street lamp, a little Lori was waiting for something with a backpack on her back, and a middle-aged man in a shirt was standing two steps away, talking excitedly and excitedly. But little Lori was indifferent, and even seemed a little repulsed, and kept looking left and right, trying to find her guardian.

Lance raised an eyebrow slightly, "Maybe he met a kid who has no interest in Hollywood, and not everyone envies Jodie-Foster." Just by looking at it, Lance felt that the man should be an agent, trying to convince Lori to sign a contract and enter Hollywood. His eyes fell on Na Lori, and he couldn't help squinting slightly, and after two more glances, it seemed to be a little familiar.

The little Lori was wearing a pink puffy dress, her hair was combed into two pigtails, and she was carrying a navy blue backpack, which looked like a little princess in the third grade, but she was actually at least thirteen or fourteen years old. Although she still looks like a yellow-haired girl, she is not beautiful or cute, but she can vaguely see the potential to become a beauty embryo when she grows up.

However, child stars have always been too difficult to cultivate in Hollywood, mainly because they are easy to suddenly lose their way after becoming famous at a young age, and there are countless cases of disability when they grow up. Therefore, child stars are more of a short-term commodity, and those brokers who know how to invest in the long term are reluctant to take over.

"What? You want to introduce her to Terrance? Lance didn't see a clue.

George smiled and bit his head, "No, I just think she seems to need some help." "Like George, he always doesn't mind giving a helping hand and supporting charity, especially in public.

Lance raised an eyebrow, "Maybe you can interrupt a bit." The ridiculous tone was obviously not too agreeable, first, it was broad daylight now, and the little girl didn't seem to be annoying; Second, Lance is also not very fond of meddling in public, especially in front of George.

George didn't seem to hear the sarcasm in Lance's words, chuckled, and shouted directly, "Sir, sir, I think you should give this girl some space." The calm but bold shout suddenly made everyone on the street turn around, naturally including the Lori and the uncle.
