Chapter 536: Oscar (2)

Tom. Hanks, an actor, can be said to be a natural actor.

He's different from Tom. Cruise, Tom. Cruise is becoming more and more prominent in Hollywood, and is given the reputation of "beautiful soup" by fans.

Although his acting skills are mediocre, his appearance and temperament are extremely likeable.

A natural darling, that's what he's talking about.

But in terms of acting, ten of him don't add up to a stupid Tom. Hanks's opponents.

In layman's terms, one is a powerful faction and the other is an idol faction.

Although Yan Qingyu himself is the biggest idol, he admires powerful actors even more.

"Tom, I'm inviting you to visit my manor after tonight, the guests are all friends of the crew or other close friends, and Chinese food is being prepared in the kitchen, by the way, bring Rita and Colin."

Rita is Tom. Hanks' wife, while Colin is his son.

Tom. Hanks, who was naturally willing to befriend a powerful chaebol leader, laughed and said, "I like Chinese food the most, and I order the Bush menu." ”

Bush menus have become popular in both China and the United States, and in the seventies, the current President George W. Bush has become popular. Herbert. Walker. Bush (George H.W. Bush) is the director of the US Liaison Office in China in Beijing, China. At that time, he and his wife, Barbara, often rode their bicycles through the streets of the capital, during which they tasted all the delicacies of China, especially the roast duck in Beijing.

After returning to China, the elder Bush still remembered the roast duck in Beijing during his presidency.

President Bush and his family go to the Beijing Hotel in Virginia, a suburb of Washington, D.C., several times a year to eat Chinese food, and every time they must order "Beijing Roast Duck."

The Bush family knows the restaurant's dishes by heart, such as Beijing roast duck, salt-and-pepper prawns, Beijing-style lamb chops, stir-fried shredded beef, and braised green beans.

These five dishes are known as the "Bush menu" at the Beijing Hotel, and many diners who come here will serve the meal accurately as long as they say "Bush menu."

This kind of thing is not only prevalent in China.

The tastes of the Bush family. It is also gradually becoming popular in the United States.

Hollywood, which prides itself on being the leading stronghold of the American fashion industry, is not to be missed.

Tom. The Hanks family is very fond of Chinese food.

The two were talking and laughing, when suddenly a middle-aged white man walked over.

As he walked, most of the people in the seats stood up and smiled at him, but he only nodded slightly, and didn't even give him a look in return.

However, this rudeness did not displease the many emperor superstars present, at least. There is no dissatisfaction on the surface.

Even Tom. Popular actors like Hanks stood up respectfully at this moment, and greeted with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Ovitz." ”

This scene reminded Yan Qingyu of Ma Long in "The Godfather". The appearance of Brando.

GODFOTHER!

Godfather!

In the vanity fair of Hollywood, this person is even more majestic than Yan Qingyu in Hong Kong.

Of course, that's because Yan Qingyu would never attend such a party in Hong Kong.

"Hello Mr. Yan, I'm Michael. Ovitz, it's a great honor to meet you. ”

Michael. Ovitz bowed his head slightly and said in a polite tone.

This scene. All the people around who witnessed this scene couldn't help but gasp.

Their estimate of Yan Qingyu was high enough, but this situation once again refreshed everyone's impression of Yan Qingyu.

That's Michael. Ovitz. As the de facto controller of CAA, his power is beyond the imagination of too many people.

In Hollywood movies, superstars are the absolute protagonists. With their superb acting skills, they have created a deep-rooted role for the world.

But in Hollywood reality, they're all just pawns, like props in a movie. A qiē is at the mercy of the big hands behind the scenes.

Outsiders may not think that it is neither the big-name directors nor the super-producers who are at the mercy of these superstars, because they are both pawns.

In fact, not to mention a single acting star, even movie giants such as Time Warner, Disney, and MGM respect this big hand, fear three points, and hate three points.

This big hand, which controls the vast majority of movie stars and directors, and can turn the clouds and rain in Hollywood at any time, is the founder of the innovative artist agency, Michael Brown. Ovitz.

But such a powerful person would actually bow his head to Yan Qingyu.

"Hello, Mr. Ovitz. It's also a pleasure to meet you, I don't know what to advise? ”

From the person in front of him, Yan Qingyu smelled a strong smell of power, and he didn't like it very much.

His response was so breezy and calm, but the people around him were even more surprised.

Don't say anything else, just Tom. Hanks' face was a little unnatural, because he was an artist under CAA.

According to common sense, the star does Tom. For Hanks's sake, no matter where he goes, no matter which artist company he is in, he should be a position to be served and touted.

This is not the case at CAA.

It took CAA nearly two decades to accomplish an almost impossible miracle.

It almost monopolizes two-thirds of Hollywood's artist resources, including film and television actors, singers, hosts, directors, producers, and so on.

Its main packaging business has made it soar.

From the role of a waiter, to a dominant.

CAA's huge influence in Hollywood is not only due to the high popularity and scale of the signed artists, but also because the company's artists are complete and well-organized.

Taking movies as an example, CAA not only has Tom. Hanks, Tom. Cruise and other super-first-class actors, as well as super-first-class directors such as Spielberg, as well as very good producers, script writers, etc.

It can be said that if Yan Qingyu wants to invest in a movie, from the script to the post-production of the film, CAA can provide a full set of teams, and they are all top candidates.

This is exactly where Hollywood film giants are afraid of CAA, because CAA usually does not provide individual artist services, but fights as a whole, and actors have to use CAA's scripts, directors, and producers, and they have to pay a lot of money, and sometimes CAA can also ask for a commission on the film revenue.

This can almost be described as incredible.

But Michael. Ovitz made the impossible a reality, and because of this, he gained the attention of the whole of Hollywood.

He also became the secret godfather of this movie city.

Even Tom. Hanks didn't dare to offend him, otherwise he might be refrigerated.

If he proposes to terminate the contract, then the high liquidated damages are unacceptable to him. (To be continued......)
