"You've decided you're casting for Tomb Raider? Congratulations, I think you'll be chosen. [ads:This site has a new URL,Shorthand method:,.] There's no one better suited for the role of Laura than you. ”

"Of course, I'll be back for the premiere at Christmas. Michelle arranged for me to be released in 60 seconds, oh...... Will you too? ”

"I'm going to learn a little bit about this show in the next two days, and you know, Ridley will allow me to rest. He gave me a lot of information. ”

Sean hung up Angelina's phone and heard that the other party had accepted the audition for "Tomb Raider", and Sean was happy for her.

Because this drama will make her the protagonist of the posters posted on the bedside of countless boys around the world, and countless men will linger on her. She became the sexiest woman in Hollywood.

Just imagine, a 36C beauty to play a 36E milk god Laura, this is undoubtedly a pleasing thing to the eye.

Laura's sexy image will be reinterpreted by Angelina!

He was relieved for Angelina.

But as soon as he saw Michelle, the agent in front of him, Sean suddenly had a big head.

"Mr. Sean, you gave Soderbergh a cameo in a movie without my knowledge, and you didn't even discuss this matter with me? Shouldn't you give me a reasonable explanation? ”

Michelle stared at Sean with a serious face, looking very calm, "Although you are my employer, since you have decided to let me help you take care of your brokerage contract, then, I think I have the right to know your work arrangement, instead of helping you contact Harley motorcycle friends like a fool and introduce you to mechanics for you to learn." ”

"Michelle ......"

"Mr. Sean, please call me Mrs. Michelle or Agent Michelle!" Michelle, dressed in a black professional suit, crossed her legs, and solemnly emphasized with a cup of coffee, "I'm just your agent." ”

"Don't do that, Michelle, you'd better call me Sean. I admit that this time I was reckless. I apologize to you......"

When Sean was filming the Soderbergh movie, Michelle, who knew that Sean took over the scene privately, did not get angry with Sean, but helped him learn the knowledge of Harley-Davidson according to his request, but after the filming was completed, Michelle asked Sean to come outside, and seemed to be very annoyed by Sean's self-assertion.

Michelle lowered her head and took a sip of her coffee, her movements elegant.

"I'm sorry, Michelle. Really, I didn't mean to offend you, nor did I mean to get rid of you. It was just that the other party found me directly at that time, and then I was more anxious, and I was in the spirit of helping my friend...... Don't look at me like that, I'm really here to help my friends......"

Looking at Michelle's sharp gaze, Sean raised his hand in surrender, "Okay, okay, I admit that I took this role for the sake of $150,000 in face." But I was really in a hurry at the time, so I didn't inform you, I didn't mean to avoid you! ”

Looking at Michelle's noncommittal posture, Sean reluctantly patted his forehead with his hand.

"God, I feel like I've really done something stupid. Michelle, you say, what do you want me to forgive me. Listen to me, you are not only my agent, you are also my friend, don't forget, my food, drink, housing and transportation are all paid by you. I haven't had any other brokers, but I know you're different. ”

Sean was really guilty in his heart, because he did forget to inform his agent when he took over the film "Erin Blokewich", that is, "Never Compromise". In the final analysis, this matter is really what Sean did not do.

"Okay, let's not mention this, I just want you to remember that I am in the same vein as you, and we are grasshoppers on the same line."

Feeling Sean's sincerity and looking at him with an apologetic look, Michelle gently put down the coffee cup and said solemnly, "For your development, I am fighting for you to sign a contract for Endeavor Elite Brokerage Company A-level, you know, this is not easy to do." ”

"I understand......" Sean nodded.

As one of the top five brokerage companies in Hollywood, Endeavor Elite Agency has strict rules and regulations. Although Sean signed a brokerage contract with Michelle before, he is not really a client of Endeavor Elite Agency.

There are so many agencies in Hollywood that they are no less than the arthouse film processing companies at 6800 Wilser Ave. But the real Hollywood giants are still those few.

The three agencies of CAA, ICM, and WMA are undoubtedly the top players in Hollywood. They hold Hollywood's top stars and resources in their hands. It can be regarded as the top three giants of today's brokerage company.

WMA William? Morris is Hollywood's oldest agency, and although it has been hit hard by the CAA, it has emaciated camels bigger than horses, such as Clint? Eastwood, Denzel? These veteran stars in Washington are its customers, which shows that the strength is huge.

Needless to say, CAA is the No. 1 agency in Hollywood, with an operating profit of nearly hundreds of millions of dollars a year, single-handedly overturning the king of WMA. ICM International Innovation Management is also a strong company that should not be underestimated. These three are the only ten percent brokerage firms in Hollywood, meaning that they dare to charge ten percent of their clients' remuneration.

From this point, we can see the strength of the three companies.

This was followed by four new brokerages: UTA, ITA, AMG and Endeavor brokerage. UTA, by contrast, is an emerging product of the merger of two medium-sized companies that are the pioneers of the independent film sector. However, because of the harassment incident, UTA is still in a lot of trouble, and it is far from being as bright as the three giants in later generations.

ITA, on the other hand, is more focused on the television and music departments. As for AMG, it may not have a good reputation, but no one dares to underestimate it, because its manager is called Michael Ovitz. His bad experience at Disney brought him back into the entertainment brokerage market, and his influence is still not small.

Endeavor, the youngest of Endeavor elite brokerage firms, was founded in 1995, but now it has entered a period of rapid development. In addition to ICM, it has a very good relationship with several other brokerage companies and is rich in resources.

If Sean wants to develop in Hollywood, of course, he can't go it alone, and relying on an agency like Endeavor is undoubtedly the best choice.

Of course, brokerage companies are not as powerful and controlling everything as many people think. They don't have that much power yet. If that were the case, CAA wouldn't have clients from other agencies in the packaging business when it was shooting films.

Several major brokerage companies are in a relationship that is both competitive and cooperative. Many of the big productions in later generations are not something that a brokerage company or a film company can eat.

Therefore, in fact, the agency is still an agency that serves stars in the final analysis, and they can at most adjust their resources, if it is really a cloud, then Michael Owitz will not leave Caa to hug Disney's thigh.

Sean clears up the misunderstanding with Michelle and makes his first peace agreement with the Endeavor agency. "Gladiator" is the first collaboration between the two parties, and Michelle will take a 10% commission on Sean's salary. This was previously negotiated.

However, there will be specific requirements for the division of each subsequent play. To this end, Michelle and the Endeavor brokerage company wanted to build their own service team for Sean. This team includes personal stylists, image consultants, PR teams, financial accountants, entertainment lawyers, and more, and of course, all of these services are charged.

An actor or star is not alone. It's a team.

"Your image consultant and PR team are not in a hurry now, maybe you should need a professional accountant and lawyer, because this will make your money safer and more reasonable to avoid taxes!"

Michelle smiled and took out a stack of contracts from his bag and handed it to Sean, his eyes full of pride, "I'm happy to help you negotiate the next big contract, at least it should be a good treatment for you now." That's why I'll let you hire a lawyer and an accountant! ”

"Oh?"

Seeing the contract in front of him, Sean was stunned, picked it up, and found that it turned out to be the contract for the play "Gladiator".

The first page is personal insurance, in the play "Gladiator", although Sean does not have as many action scenes as Russell Crow, but he still enjoys high accident insurance and other aspects of insurance protection. Although the crew enjoyed these before, they were not so complete.

Take a look at the detailed items listed above, even colds will be reimbursed. This gave Sean his first sense of value as a broker and brokerage firm.

The working schedule stipulates the length of time Sean shoots every day, and if he works overtime, he will undoubtedly be paid more. And, of course, Sean agrees to work overtime. The treatment during the filming period, including holidays, food standards, and even Christmas plane tickets, are reimbursed, which is very humane.

Undoubtedly, this is a very professional actor contract, comparing the previous plays, Sean only then understands what is called a big production and what is called a big investment.

Of course, what caught Sean's attention the most was the actor's salary above.

$800,000

That's right. Sean counted the zeros behind the numbers and found that there were no more, no less, exactly 5 zeros, and indeed $800,000.

"$800,000?" Sean looked at Michelle with a calm face with a little difficulty in confidence, and repeatedly confirmed, "It's really $800,000!?" ”

"That's right, $800,000, that's how you get paid. Don't be surprised, you're worth the price. The DreamWorks guys aren't philanthropists. Michelle confirmed the number, then said with a smile, "Although you didn't discuss the movie "Erin Brokewich" with me, it gave you a lot of points. ”

A little surprised to see Sean, Michelle took a sip of coffee to moisten her throat.

"Therefore, it is well known that the film invested by Universal is going to the Oscars, and Soderbergh, a director with strong Hollywood momentum, is directed, and 20 million actress Julia Roberts starred, which is destined to have a great impact." Michelle said.

"DreamWorks is not stupid, you can participate in this film and play the main supporting role, and they naturally understand the impact of this film on Gladiator. Thinking about your previous movies, "Advance Los Angeles" has a very good reputation, and the box office has undoubtedly made a lot of money compared to its investment, and the videotape release of this film is very smooth, and the benefits are not small. ”

"Congratulations to Doug, I don't want to lose my pants on the investor in my first movie." Sean couldn't help but laugh when he heard that "Advance L.A." was doing well at the box office and that the video market was doing well, "Maybe Doug should consider giving me a red envelope." ”

"I'll tell him what you ask."

Michelle shrugged his shoulders with a smile, and continued, "Although "American Drug Lord" has not been released, Ted Demmy has a good reputation, and being able to play the male lead in his movie will give you a lot of points. The main movie "60 Seconds" is about to be released, and no matter what, it will not be bad at the box office. That's what you're worth! Of course, you can't forget the credit for your affair with Angelina! ”

Looking at Michelle's last teasing expression, Sean directly pretended not to hear.

The ghost knew that the scandal with Angelina had even affected his salary.
