(Knock on the basin to ask for a collection and ask for a recommendation ticket, if you can't ask for me, I'll cry to you)

Cusa arrived at Daniel's house early the next morning, and the two of them talked all day in the study.

Daniel's first words stunned Kusa.

"Regarding my broker business, I now entrust it to you in full, whether you reject the long broker or choose someone who is not a threat to you, I have no opinion, but one thing, I can't leave the CAA, or rather, I can't lose the support of the CAA."

"Ah, you- I mean, why? We've known each other for a short time, and you're definitely not someone who would give up your career for the sake of your feelings. Kusa's face was full of confusion, he was ready to normalize the relationship with Daniel, but Daniel's decision caught him off guard.

After the meeting, Daniel and Paison had been thinking about a question.

Is he going to be a badge of achievement for Paison?

Under his command, like a puppet, to get the box office, awards, status and power.

Daniel's answer to himself couldn't be clearer.

No!

He didn't want to!

His career path must be determined by him, and the agent can give advice that can help with planning, but it must be approved by him, not that he has to.

It's completely different, and if it's the former, it makes him feel like he's lost the meaning of his life.

Paison is too strong, and in yesterday's conversation, Paison has been trying to grasp the topic.

Daniel hinted three times.

One is to show that he is not enough to have a coffee position, and there is no need to consider Oscar and the 20 million club now. But Paison interrupts him and teaches him that he is not sure about himself.

The second time it was he who brought up the dilemma he was facing, and Paison's approach made him shudder.

The last time was when he said he would do his best to reply. Paison's expression told Daniel that he was surprised that Daniel didn't agree to his request right away, and Paison's slightly frivolous expression in the back also showed that he was dissatisfied.

This is not the broker he hoped for.

The second point is really not very important, if needed, Daniel feels that he can do that, send people to prison, send people under the wheel, etc., but that is not bottomless, it should not be a conventional weapon, it should be a strategic weapon.

The most important thing is that Paison has a strong desire to control, and he may lack such an opportunity with Hanks, so he is even a little sick in front of Daniel.

Daniel's decision not to choose Kim Paison didn't have much psychological difficulty.

Of course, that doesn't mean he's going to make a decision like this morning.

CAA has many more good brokers, and he can go ahead and look for them.

But after careful consideration, he gave up.

Kusa is a good match for him, and a strong agent is not necessary for success, as a simple example, Philip is stronger than Cusa, but neither Joaquin Phoenix nor Matt Damon have ever competed with Daniel.

A co-op broker often has a 1+1 greater than 2 effect.

This is something that has been proven for more than a year.

In that case, why do we have to destroy this relationship?

He's growing, and so will Cusa.

So Daniel decided that the topic of today's conversation with Kusa is not to change agents, but that Kusa should speed up the pace of growth.

At least have to keep up with Daniel.

"Paison's words are not unreasonable, Kusa, you have excellent ability, but you lack enough connections and connections, you are no longer able to make a movie of the level of "Spy", if it is a bigger production, more high-profile project, you may really not be able to do it." Daniel said calmly, "Kusa, several people have told me that my performance in 'Gladiator' is 'breathtaking', and Paison said he can get me an Oscar nomination, what about you?" Can you? I'm not asking you to have this right now, just as I can't replace Russell Crowe as Maximus right now. However, time is running out for you.

I'm not going to stay at Commodius, I'm going to keep going, I'm very confident in Lord of the Rings and Spy and even Legally Blonde, and when they come online, I won't be the Daniel I am today, and that means I'm really qualified to compete for something. But qualifications are one thing, being able to go for it is another, and the broker is crucial.

Kusa, I hope we can be the most enviable pair in Hollywood, trust each other, help each other, and achieve each other. But we all need to improve, and now it seems, especially you.

If you think you can, then I believe you and I won't regret my decision today. If you think you can't, then I'm going to go to Kevin and ask him to introduce me to a few people, and we'll be good brokers and client relationships.

Mr. Damon, the choice is yours now. ”

Kusa Damon took a breath, but without delay, he nodded quickly.

"I think I get what you mean, so let's see."

Daniel smiled, he thought of the first time they met, "Remember that time, it seems that after the audition for "Death is Coming", you asked me out and convinced me with empty teeth. Then I turned down Tracy and signed with you instead. ”

"You weren't persuaded by me, you were persuaded by CAA, I bet your idea at that time must have been advanced CAA, and then wait for the opportunity to find a better agent and kick the rookie in front of you."

"It's pure slander, my credit history has always been excellent. No card debt, no mortgage, and no criminal record. ”

This conversation is just the beginning of a full day.

Kusa and Daniel discussed a series of things about the short film competition, the promotion of "Gladiator", the filming of "Pretty Woman" and so on, including everything he might gain and what he might lose at each stage.

For example, in the short film competition, Paison's judgment was to prevent the short film from coming out.

This thing doesn't need to be too dark to do, just destroy the materials, Qiao Sen is just a rookie, he won't have any awareness of protecting the materials.

But instead of doing so, it may have protected Daniel, or it may have been a stain on Daniel.

They discussed it for a long time, and Cusa agreed with Paison's opinion, because if "Gladiator" was indeed as good as those people said, Daniel's performance was excellent, then it could completely cover up the suspicion that the short film contest did not make a film.

However, Daniel himself does not approve that the so-called cover-up cannot withstand a little bit of turning over old accounts.

The enemy only needs to turn it out every now and then and post a few reports, and it will be able to put a black dot on Daniel's back for a long time.

"We're not going to fail, it's probably going to be a shortcut, and once I'm on par with those superstars, I'm going to be one of them at some point, as long as the box office or the awards are in place."

"It's too risky."

"In fact, this is the reality, and if we don't play tricks, the short film will come out. So, when the film comes out, we'll decide on this matter, and we'll wait and see what happens. ”

That was their final unanimity on the issue.
