The place where Ovitz agreed to meet was none other than Hendler & Associates.

"Dear Zhang, we meet again!" Zhang Shaoping walked into the office, and Hendler, a foreign devil, gave him an enthusiastic hug, "You really have a way, even Jancro has been done by you!" You know, Ovitz is a very stubborn guy, and I hope you can succeed in convincing him today. ”

"Thank you!" Zhang Shaoping sat on the leather sofa, "Hendler, is there any good news to tell me?" ”

Hendler shrugged and said, "Oh, Josephson International will hold a board meeting tomorrow, and in my opinion, it is very likely that a resolution will be made to transfer the equity of International Innovation Management, I wonder if this is good news?" ”

"Mr. Hendler, you have a heart, and this is indeed good news."

Naturally, it was impossible for Josephson International to hold a board meeting for no reason, and Hendler did not know how much effort and what benefits were promised to make the major shareholders collude and shake Josephson, the founder of the company.

Hendler did this, of course, for the sake of a generous commission return, but Zhang Shaoping is still very grateful for this, the gringos are too professional and attentive.

"It's a pity, you can't use such a good thing, Zhang Sheng!"

"No, no, no, it's Ovitz who wants me to be a partner in CAA, and I'm still happy to take control of International Innovation Management." Zhang Shaoping shook his head and smiled, "It's hard to say everything now, what is the result, I'm afraid I have to wait for Michael?" Ovitz only found out after they met. ”

Holding a low-cost and high-quality performing arts brokerage company. Investing in an entertainment agency with unlimited prospects is Zhang Shaoping's wishful thinking. Either way, it's not actually a loss-making business. For Zhang Shaoping, any enterprise and any company is only a means, and obtaining network resources is the goal. In the future, the development of the two brokerage companies can be merged and integrated, or they can cooperate and complement each other, and even compete with each other to grow their own. It's all possible.

Zhang Shaoping's words were plain, but Hendler couldn't help but be moved when he heard the ambition from it. said: "Jeffrey? Berg is a good man, and I think you and he have a lot in common. ”

"Hehe, Mr. Hendler, you said yes. Then it must be. I believe you. ”

Although Hendler was greedy for money, he still had the discipline of doing things with money.

Back then, in order to befriend him, Ovitz took a lot of effort, often taking him to the most exclusive and luxurious places to spend, and the rewards were amazing, Sidney? Pollack, Robert? Rayford, Paul? Newman, Sean? Connelly and Paul? Newman was once in the hand of Hendler and introduced to Ovitz. Especially Sean? Connelly. belongs to the top group of male stars in Hollywood, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the profits brought to CAA are making money every day.

The two of them chatted for a while. Zhang Shaoping looked at his watch, couldn't help frowning, and asked: "Hendler, everyone says that Ovitz is a very punctual person, but it's almost two o'clock now, why haven't you seen anyone else?" ”

Hendler also wondered, Ovitz is a control freak, a general control freak, with a slight paranoia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, he will inevitably check the time every 25 minutes or so, without exception, and will make an average of 200 calls a day to control all the actions of his customers. In other words, for a control freak, even if he forgets the names of his parents, he will never forget what he has to do.

"Looks like Ovitz is being thwarted by something, why don't I call him and ask him?"

Before Hendler's words fell, he saw the phone on his desk ringing, and Hendler grabbed it and listened to it, and immediately shouted: "Ovitz? Damn, where are you now, you shouldn't have forgotten your date with Mr. Zhang Shaoping, right? ”

On the phone, Hendler answered a few times with a "uh-huh-hmm", hung up the line, spread his hands, and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang, Ovitz is accompanying a client, I'm afraid he won't be able to meet you for the time being." ”

When Zhang Shaoping heard this, he was annoyed, although he knew that this Ovitz was doing things from himself, but he never imagined that this guy would come to an end and release his pigeons, which was really annoying.

Hendler said, "Mr. Zhang, why don't you make another appointment?" ”

Zhang Shaoping said lightly: "No need! I'd rather be with Jeffrey now? Berg at first sight. ”

When Hendler heard this, he was stunned at first, and then suddenly understood that Zhang Shaoping felt that he was being teased, and he was angry, so he didn't want to talk about it. Hendler knew that Zhang Shaoping was in an unhappy mood, but he was interested and immediately changed the topic.

"Hehe, Jeffrey said, if Mr. Zhang is willing to meet him, he does not need to make an appointment, he can call him at any time and meet at any time and place."

From the few words relayed by Hendler, it is not difficult for Zhang Shaoping to predict the character of this Mr. Berg, and he is good at seizing the opportunity to take advantage of the situation. He and Ovitz are diametrically opposed people, uncontrollable**, giving people a sense of being a guest, making people feel like a spring breeze and easy to approach

Hanging up the phone without paying attention, Ovitz picked up the script in front of him and continued to watch. He has read the thin script four times, but he has read it extremely seriously every time.

Across from his desk sat a bearded man, a beautiful woman under 30 years old. Both of them looked at Ovitz with a serious expression on their faces, and they didn't dare to take a breath. The more Ovitz looked at it, the more dramatic it became, but the two of them worked hard for months with the script and found nothing, most of them rejected them as soon as they read the script, and the rest were deterred by the strings attached.

The waiting time is tormenting, and every second is so long.

After another half an hour, Ovitz finally finished reading the script in his hand, and this time he didn't read it again, stopping, muttering, as if considering the benefits and losses or pros and cons, whether it was worth the investment. The two men on the other side were now raising their hearts to their throats, afraid that they would hear the words of rejection from Ovitz's mouth again, which almost made their ears calloused.

"The robot travels through time and space, this plot is very interesting, the theme is also very novel, if it is made into a movie, there are a lot of gimmicks and highlights, I am quite optimistic about the box office." As soon as Ovitz spoke, he judged very pertinently, "But, Annie, your conditions are too difficult for a strong man. This Mr. Cameron has no experience in directing films, but he wants to be the director of this drama that has a lot of investment after watching it, I don't think any investor in his right mind will agree. ”

Annie? Hurd smiled: "Ovitz, you are Hollywood, no, it should be said that you are the most discerning agent in the whole of America, so far, you have never looked at anyone or anything related to the entertainment industry." I believe that with your professional and vicious eyes, it can definitely be seen that it is not difficult for this drama to become popular with some actors. Cameron needs this drama to make a name for himself, my production company needs this drama to make a name for himself, and you need this drama to sign you a few more artist clients, everyone takes what they need, and no one wants to mess it up. So, don't worry, Cameron won't shoot himself in the foot, he will definitely make a wonderful movie for everyone to see. ”

Ovitz said: "What's the use of me worrying? The key is for investors to rest assured! ”

"Hehe, Ovitz, you're a tough one, I know you'll have a way to convince investors!" Annie? Hurd continued to praise Ovitz with a look of "I believe in you very much", "Over the years, many things that seem impossible in the eyes of others have become possible in your hands. Let me tell you without minions, before I came to you, I had been busy for several months, looking for some large-scale investment institutions in Hollywood, and no one was willing to take over this drama on this condition. I finally thought of you, Hollywood's most legendary agent, capable of turning decay into magic. ”

Ovitz thought to himself, "You think too highly of me!" I've always loved to play 'packing' services, but they're all pretty reliable, but what the hell are you driving now? The copyright of the film belongs to your production company, and the distributor contacted Orion Pictures. Cameron took it, what is left of the investor? There is only a box office share that I don't know whether to make or lose. Where do I go to find such a wrongdoer? ”

"Annie, I don't think I can help you!" Ovitz thought for a long time, but finally rejected the temptation, "If you are willing to change the prerequisites a little, I am quite willing to help you with this." ”

Although Ovitz has begun to be conceited now, he still has self-knowledge, this kind of thing that is difficult to accomplish at a glance, he will not just listen to Annie? After a few words, Hurd became arrogant. is also rolling in the show business, what is he interested in Anne? Hurd knows a lot, and Annie? Hurd also knows everything about him, when it comes to connections, Annie? Hurd is no worse than him at all, in that case, Annie? If Hurd can't attract investment, he will weigh two pounds, and his own family will probably eat a lot.

The dilemma facing this play, Annie? How could Hurd not know that the script is excellent, but the director is too frustrated and is a rookie. That's it, but the benefits of the whole movie, the share left for the investor is completely disproportionate to the risk that the other party has to bear, so the injustice is too rare, as long as the brain has not been caught by the door, no one will agree.

But Annie? Hurd is also quite helpless, she has just established Westpac Productions, has no money and popularity, and finally fooled Cameron with the script for $1, and wants her to give up the rights, which is absolutely impossible. Annie? Hurd is an ambitious woman, and she is very interested in Shelly? Lan Xin's goal is to be a strong woman in the entertainment industry, and this flickering play is the stepping stone for her to make a name for herself.

Ovitz is already Anne here? The last stop that Hurd could find, and her attitude that had always been resolute began to waver, she was silent for a moment, and asked, "How to change?" ”

"Like changing the director?" Ovitz made a suggestion.

Ovitz has been dealing with the industry for many years, and from time to time he buys the rights to some popular books and then adapts them into film and television scripts, and he admires the script written by Cameron very much, and he can appreciate it, but he is firmly opposed to using a junior brother to make a multi-million dollar investment movie.
