In the end, Ovitz was defeated by personal arrogance and the jealousy of others after his career and influence reached its peak. After all, no matter how sober a person is, once the aura is too much and too bright, it is easy to get dizzy. Jude took a sip of coffee and looked at Littlet, who had no sip of coffee in his hand, "Do you feel a strong urge to go to Ovitz and repeat what I just said to the other party?" ”

Litt didn't answer, but his demeanor had already told Jude the answer.

"Ovitz is like a tiger with a tooth removed, and soon his opponents will find out about this problem, imagine how successful he has been in Hollywood over the years, how many people will want him to look good behind him, can your reminder help him block the attacks of these enemies? So there's no point in you doing this other than to put Ovitz in a bad mood. ”

Leet clenched the coffee cup in his hand, his eyes fixed on Jude.

"What exactly do you want to tell me?"

Jude picked up his coffee cup and sat down on the table.

"If Ovitz wants to gain a foothold in Disney, the only way is to regain his devouring teeth, so that he can internally subdue the directors of various Disney departments who were once disgraced by him in the CAA era, and externally deter those enemies who are dissatisfied with him, and now he still has high hopes for CAA, and by the time he finds out that CAA is actually unreliable, everything is already too late, you definitely don't want this to happen, right? In fact, you can be a strong reinforcement for Ovitz outside of Disney, but you don't realize it yourself. ”

Leet looked at Jude in confusion, "That's why you're bringing me back to CAA?" ”

"Of course not, back in the CAA, how much voice can you have? When the time comes, not to mention helping Ovitz, how to protect himself is a big problem. You have to set up a brokerage company on your own, let it grow rapidly, not to mention reaching the level of the big four brokerage companies, at least a few stars who can get their hands on it, so that you can help Ovitz at a critical moment. ”

"Are you kidding me? Brokerage companies are not like independent film companies, as long as there are funds, anyone can come in and play a ticket, this industry has a high entry threshold, that is, you must have a large number of network resources in the industry, and these resources have long been monopolized by the four major brokerage companies, unless you can poach their stars from these companies, but since CAA's poaching strategy has caused several other brokerage companies to suffer heavy losses, each brokerage company has signed a stricter breach of contract agreement with the artist, CAA has a complete system to ensure that its artists are not poached, and the only way that can allow new entrants to rise quickly has long been blocked. ”

"If you really think so, you won't put so much effort into me and Kate, in fact, you have already found a way to make yourself rise without poaching people from other companies, but this method is more time-consuming."

Jude directly broke through Lee's thoughts, but what he got was a speechless white eye.

Leete's method is actually very simple, that is, to accumulate contacts by himself, cultivate artists by himself, and gradually occupy a place in the highly competitive brokerage industry, this method is time-consuming, and it is easy to be poached by other brokerage companies, but it is the only way out that can break through the industry blockade and stand on his own.

Jude was able to guess this, and naturally knew the pros and cons, so what he said just now was the same as not saying it.

At least that's what Litt thinks, but Jude doesn't agree.

"Normally, it would take you 10 years or more to succeed, and that's when other agencies don't poach people, but now there's a great opportunity to shorten the process a lot. Imagine that if Ovitz, who is the president of Disney, is willing to fully support your agency, your network resources will make up for the shortcomings, and it will be difficult to make a few new people popular at that time? Put it aside, this matter is also good for Ovitz, he can't command some people inside Disney, he can only rely on external forces to change the situation, and after finding out that CAA is unreliable, the only person he can trust is you. ”

Li Te turned his head to look at Kate, who was listening carefully to the two of them, "You've been with Jude for the past few days, are you sure he hasn't been stimulated or dropped directly?" How I feel like he's a different person. ”

Kate shook her head, saying she couldn't help.

Unwillingly, Li Te stared at Jude up and down several more times, and finally determined that Jude standing in front of him was still the same Jude before.

"Do you really think I'm only interested in the cinematic stuff?" Jude put down the coffee cup in his hand angrily, "Some things are because I don't have the ability to achieve them, so I don't bother to mention them to you, now that the conditions are ripe, some ideas can also be told to you in advance, for example, I suggested that you set up a brokerage company by yourself just now, do you know why?" Because soon I was going to set up my own film company, of course, it was too early to call the company immediately, and I only needed to maintain the scale of a film studio at the beginning. ”

Litt looked at Jude with a puzzled expression, "Is there any connection between these two things?" ”

"When I set up a film studio, I must make my own films, and I must use directors, actors, screenwriters, and photographers to make movies.

"CAA's bundled services?" Leeter subconsciously said the answer.

Jude snapped his fingers, happily pointed at Litt and said, "Exactly! ”

It took only two decades for CAA to overtake its competitors to become Hollywood's largest agency, and Ovitz himself was voted the most powerful person in Hollywood for two consecutive years.

In the past, when a TV station wanted to produce a program, it had to find a host, an actor, a producer, a script writer, etc., in short, a large number of different agents. In the early days, when Ovitz had no way to poach stars from other agencies, he thought of using projects to find stars: he had all the script writers, producers, and directors ready to plan an attractive project to attract celebrities to join.

In this model that everyone has become accustomed to, Ovitz has made an amazing discovery: if there is a brokerage company that can prepare all the artists of the show, not only will the TV station worry, but the brokerage company will also change the passive star chasing in the past to actively do projects.

As early as a few years ago, when other agencies were still simply chasing stars, Ovitz had recruited top talent in every position needed for TV shows and movies to the CAA. In this way, when negotiating with a TV station or film company, Ovitz has a legal code to ask the other party: the actors who use CAA must use a full set of personnel such as directors, producers, and playwrights from CAA.

In the face of Ovitz's binding, the other party can't use it, and it has to be used if it is not used, because in addition to CAA, it is difficult to find projects and lineups of the same level in Hollywood. Not only that, but they also had to pay a high price for Ovitz's bundle, which was previously unimaginable.

In Ovitz's hands, the salaries of many outstanding actors in CAA for a movie have risen from $1 million to $5 million, and from $5 million to $10 million, or even more, which is also an astronomical amount that top actors dared not think of before.

Monopoly brings windfall profits, which is the same reason that Microsoft bundles Internet Explorer on its own operating system.

Leeter is from CAA, and of course he is very familiar with the bundled service, but Jude, as a director with his own creative concept, stands in front of Litte and talks about the benefits of bundled service, which always feels a little weird.

"Although as a director, I have always hated the way CAA launched to stifle creative freedom, but I have to admit that in many cases this method is very efficient and effective, especially when it is used to treat some new directors and new actors, which can save investors a lot of trouble." Jude shrugged his shoulders and said what he thought.

"So you know how hard it used to be for you!" Leet whispered a slander against Jude, but was persuaded by the reasons given by the other party.

Jude clasped his hands together and said excitedly: "The cooperation between the two of us, coupled with the support of Ovitz, and the use of Disney's distribution channels, only one or two movies are needed to open the situation, don't tell me that you are not at all interested in this plan." ”
