Chapter 1386: Rise with the Trend

Since the mid-80s, after the formation of the pattern of the joint domination of the three major Hollywood agencies, the development of the American entertainment industry has entered a new model, the reason why these three major agencies can dominate the entire North American entertainment market, and even occupy the absolute initiative in the world, is not only because they have the most top agents, the most top artists, but also because they have opened a new entertainment operation model, and their connections are all over the world, holding the golden key to connect Wall Street. Being able to sit on an equal footing with major entertainment industry companies has made the entire entertainment industry model change dramatically.

It can be said that the agency is no longer an agency, and they also form the top of the pyramid as a member of Hollywood's top players.

However, it is precisely because of the strong dominance of these three major brokerage companies that the stronger the stronger and the weaker the Mathew effect, which also makes the development of other medium-sized brokerage companies unable to keep up with the pace in the past ten years, and no film company can approach the three major brokerage companies, even the current leader in the medium-sized brokerage company, United Elite Brokerage Company.

Since April 1994, the three major brokerage companies have changed one after another, and the international innovation management company has caused a sensation in Hollywood. Politics. change"; At the same time, Michael Ovitz, the leader of the innovative artist agency, left Disney to join forces with Michael Eisner; There was also infighting within the William Morris brokerage company, and a number of agents left one after another.

In this stormy change, although the three major brokerage companies have changed and lost, more of them have transferred before each other, for example, the international innovation management company took advantage of the lack of a leader in the innovative artist agency to snatch a group of senior agents and first-line stars; In order to stabilize their position, the innovative artist agency began to dig into the William Morris agency.

This is the game between the top players, and the chaos within them will always be maintained between the advanced players.

But the only surprise was that the six brokers who broke away from the International Innovation Management Company set up their own doors and began to recruit and establish Endeavor Elite Brokerage Company. On the other hand, the mid-sized brokerage company leader United Elite Brokerage also took advantage of the fire, swallowing up two smaller brokerage firms and cracking down on another medium-sized brokerage firm's strong competitor, Interconnection Elite Brokerage (ITA).

The rise of these two brokerage companies has made a slight change in the situation of the three major Hollywood brokerage companies.

In particular, Endeavour elite agency, Rick Rosen and his partners, with artists such as Tom Hanks, who was still successful at the time, Al Pacino, Clint Eastwood, and Hugo Lancaster, who were still successful at the time, quickly gained a foothold.

To everyone's surprise, Endeavour Elite began to expand steadily after its establishment, Tom Hanks has accumulated a lot of money, Hugo has been as strong as ever, and then stars such as Adam Sandler and Leonardo DiCaprio have joined, and newcomers such as Alex Lorraine, Charlize Theron, and Cameron Diaz have all come together.

Then in March of this year, the role competition of "Mission Impossible" first showed Rick's clever layout ability, and finally the quick knife and choice of "Seven Deadly Sins" is also impressive - as for the achievements of "Seven Deadly Sins", it is now obvious to all; In May, the addition of Michael Jackson ushered in the first opportunity for Endeavor Elite Brokerage to announce its own existence all over the world, and the company entered a period of rapid development in the next six months.

Towards the end of 1995, Endeavour Elite Agency reached new heights, becoming the first company in Hollywood to successfully complete a package project outside of the Big Three, and it was not an independent small-cost system, but a $100 million investment in the Twentieth Century Fox project. Rumors also say that the behind-the-scenes investors have threatened to budget as much as $150 million, which will be squandered by the entire crew, which is a blessing from heaven for any crew.

In "The End of the World", the actor will be determined to be played by Hugo, and this work will also become the first real large-investment and big-cost work in Hugo's thirteen-year career as an actor, before Hugo's career's highest investment work "Hudson's Eagle" cost 65 million US dollars, and finally only won 17 million US dollars at the North American box office.

Although Twentieth Century Fox has announced that it will be a disaster movie, and the character weight will not be too heavy, they still have a list of actors in the usual way. The heroine finally locked on Sandra Bullock, the silly big sister sweetheart who once teamed up with Hugo to dedicate the "speed of life and death", will partner with Hugo again.

After fierce competition, it was decided that Alexander Lorraine would play the role of the second male president, and Jennifer Aniston would win the role of first lady. In addition, all the other main roles with lines and no lines have been confirmed in a series of lists, and all roles are played by artists under Endeavor Elite Agency.

Since there are not more than 100 artists under the Endeavor Elite Agency at this time, some media even ridiculed, "Maybe they need to temporarily recruit at the actors' union." It can also be seen from here that a "doomsday" has mobilized almost the entire Endeavor elite brokerage company.

This is a rare opportunity for everyone up and down the company, even if you put aside the fact that everyone can find a job and get an income, it is very rare to appear in a commercial film, not to mention that it is a collaboration with Hugo, and no one will forget the importance that Jì Twentieth Century Fox attaches to this work, so it can be said that such an opportunity is indeed very important.

It's no wonder that people are so surprised that Endeavour Elite Agency has reached an agreement with Twentieth Century Fox, because the packaging cooperation shows more than just packaging, but more cooperation, and the cooperation in all aspects makes the intimacy of the two companies skyrocket. This also means that Endeavor Elite Brokerage Company has reached a higher level, not only can compete with the United Brokerage Company, but even take half a step ahead on the road of development, which is really incredible.

In just 18 months, Endeavor Elite Brokerage has grown rapidly into one of the few in the upper echelons of the Hollywood pyramid, and the terrifying momentum once again presents the characteristics of Hollywood's overnight fame and overnight popularity.

It is worth mentioning that there are several familiar names in the cast list.

Sandra's appearance came as a surprise to many, as she was previously an actress at an innovative artist agency, and it wasn't until the list was announced that Sandra had officially resigned to Endeavour Elite Agency in September and became a member of Ali Emmanuel.

After gaining a lot of popularity in the field of TV dramas, Will Smith, who also made an excellent start on the big screen, actually appeared in the cast list, but his role was not labeled, only mentioning that "this is a key role", and people noticed that Will signed with Carl Earle, another agent of Endeavour Elite Agency.

In addition, names such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Cameron Diaz, and Tobey Maguire also appeared in the list, but they all just came to make cameos and show solidarity with Hugo with practical actions.

Just announced a list of actors, Endeavor Elite Agency has stolen the limelight and has become the most watched company this year. Even Tom Cruise joked in an interview on "The Tonight Show", "Now even I want to make a cameo, I don't know if Hugo is welcome." ”

Although the media has repeatedly put Hugo and Tom on the opposite side of the competitors, it can be clearly felt that the friendship between the two is still very good. Faced with Tom's such greetings, Hugo was barricaded at the door of the restaurant by two special paparazzi as he left for dinner in Beverly Hills, Brian Heveson and Austin Wicchedeck.

These two little guys, who have only turned fifteen years old this year, are a beautiful scenery in the Hollywood paparazzi, Hugo has always been unabashedly to other media reporters, especially in today's situation, Hugo and Cameron had dinner together in the restaurant, and when they left, they were directly stopped by the paparazzi, and usually Hugo would not pay attention to it at all. But for Brian and Austin, Hugo couldn't help but be a little more tolerant.

When Hugo first met Brian, he was surprised by the child's strange dreams, and later met Brian and Austin many times following him in the news, Hugo really wanted to be angry, but seeing the two children in front of him, Hugo could only smile helplessly and shake his head. Over time, Brian and Austin instead made an impression in front of Hugo. For Hugo, who has a name impairment, he naturally doesn't remember the names of the two little guys, but for Hugo, who has face blindness, he remembers these two immature faces, which is really rare.

Facing Brian's camera lens, Hugo spread his arms and said with a smile, "Tom, I'm always welcome." ”

Brian and Austin, two underage minors, got this exclusive and sold it to the "Los Angeles Times" for $20,000, causing quite a stir, and the shouting of two good friends, Hugo and Tom, became a joke.

After the cast of "Armageddon" was announced, the whole of Hollywood was boiling, and everyone was looking forward to the news of the official start of the movie. However, before the start of production, there was still an important role missing from the cast of the movie, the child of the actor Steve.

Since Endeavour Elite Agency does not have any child actors in the company, and there are very few child actors available in Hollywood now, after discussing with Twentieth Century Fox, the crew simply announced that there will be a public audition for this child role, and all children between the ages of five and twelve can participate in the audition.

As soon as this news came out, not only Hollywood, but the whole United States began to stir.
