1376. Chapter 1376 - Condescension

Beverly Hills isn't home to the richest in Hollywood, and the really rich prefer to live in cosy towns around Los Angeles and drive to the city to work. Compared to the city, the best place to live is in a small town where all the neighbors are rich and rich. This is the case in Malibu, Orange County, and other places.

But Beverly Hills is a vital symbol for Hollywood, not only because of the countless mansions and estates on this hill that are home to Hollywood's best stars, but also because it's where all eyes are on it. With Beverly Hills as the center, Hollywood Strip, Walk of Fame, Universal Studios, Burbank Media Center, Screen Actors Guild and other core institutions of the film industry are clustered in the surrounding area.

Someone once joked that throwing a brick near Beverly Hills can hit three actors, and passing by five pedestrians can run into a scout or agent. This is an exaggeration, but it is a true reflection of the prosperity and prosperity of the region. That's why two of Hollywood's three major agencies have their headquarters nearby.

Both William Morris Agency and Innovative Artist Agency are located in Beverly Hills, while they are surrounded by many film, television and music companies. It is no surprise that up-and-comers United Elite Brokerage chose this location.

Located on the eastern side of Beverly Mountain, a 10-minute walk from Westwood. blvd) is home to a number of top companies in the industry, including EMI Records' Los Angeles branch, and a well-known agency for innovative artists just two blocks away.

Offices on Westwood Avenue are in high demand every year, and even though rents are getting higher every year, there are still countless companies wanting to move to the area. Everyone understands that even just hanging around Beverly Hills can be hit by pies, let alone entertainment companies, and a great location and a great faΓ§ade can often add a lot of impression points.

In June, a three-story office building in a prime location on Westwood Avenue was vacated and leased out again in less than 24 hours, and many would-be companies that wanted to enter the circle didn't even have time to react, just watching the opportunity slip through their hands again.

This new company has also attracted the attention of many insiders, and when they found out that the new tenant was an elite brokerage company, they all showed an expression of "it should be so". Although it has only been established for a year and two months, the rise of Endeavour Elite Agency is legendary, and this is where Hollywood, where every miracle can happen.

In June, Endeavour Elite Agency was receiving a lot of attention because of Michael Jackson's arrival. Until then, the company's office building was a dilapidated building on Santa Monica Boulevard, which didn't match the up-and-comer's identity. Now, the Endeavor Elite Brokerage Company, which has moved to Ximu Avenue, can be regarded as really in the sight of high-level people in the circle.

In the past year, Endeavour elite agency has been born with a high-end route, Tom Hanks, Clint Eastwood, Al Pacino, Hugo Lancaster, Michael Jackson and other artists have made its development route smooth, and a number of high-profile new stars led by Leonardo DiCaprio have also joined, and later attracted the signing of first-line actors such as Adam Sandler and Robert De Niro, which made its future development prospects immediately clear.

What is even more commendable is that at the beginning of the establishment of only less than 20 brokers of the Endeavor elite brokerage company, now the number of professional brokers has exceeded 40 people, and the number of employees of the whole company has quickly skyrocketed to 130 people, the entire development scale has truly become a medium-sized brokerage company, and the current second-tier brokerage company arrow figure United elite brokerage company equal.

Even in warm Los Angeles, people can't help but pull the collar of their coats to block out the raging sea breeze, but the buzz on Westwood Avenue continues to be bustling – not only is the neighborhood home to entertainment-related companies, but it's also an important commercial center in Los Angeles, and the surrounding five streets are dotted with residential neighborhoods, which are crowded almost every day.

A black sedan pulled up to the side of the road, and a man in a dark gray and light brown checkered suit could be seen opening the door and stepping out, standing on the side of the road and buttoning the second button of his suit. The close-fitting cut and the camel-colored wool scarf around his neck reveal his professionalism and aura, and it can be seen that he should be a man who is usually in a high position.

Then, two more people walked down in the car, the man in front of him had white hair, a champagne-colored suit with a white shirt, and a smoke-gray windbreaker jacket in his hand, and his slightly thin figure was tense at this time; The man in the back looks ordinary, but the black suit on his body can be seen to be a finished suit of a luxury brand, and the cut of the lines can feel the delicacy in it.

The three of them stood next to them for a while, and then another person in the car slowly walked out. Wei'an's height is like a tall green pine, and his broad and stiff shoulders reveal a coldness in the shadows of the building; The sturdy and full figure fully supports a gray-blue suit, with a navy blue shirt and dark blue tie, the whole body is simple but reveals an elegant calmness.

The man who came out at the end looked around at the building in front of him, a whole glass wall reflected the bright sunlight at this time, making the shadow of the wind-swept building even colder, he couldn't help but chuckle, and the sunlight leaked out between the entire eyebrows, "This building looks so short." ”

The first man to come out pursed his lips and smiled, "Alan, this is Los Angeles, not New York or Chicago." The concrete forest doesn't have the smell of what we have here. He looked at the other two, "Are you all ready?" Let's go and get this contract today! ”

The person who came was Kevin Pence, the new helmsman of Twentieth Century Fox, and the two people who came out next were Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin, who were not only the screenwriters of "Independence Day", but also the producers, so they made a special appearance today to negotiate.

The last man was Alan Strello, and Hugo would have been surprised to see him here. He is Hugo's friend who appeared with Kevin when he visited the crew of "Love is the One". However, why did this friend appear at the scene of the cooperation negotiations on "Independence Day"?

Hugo must have deduced that the "love is the only one" coincidence is not really a coincidence.

The four of them walked towards the building. The building has only six floors, the first floor is the common hall, the second and third floors are divided between five companies, and the fourth to sixth floors are the new home base of Endeavor Elite Brokerage Company.

The rental cost of a three-storey building on Westwood Avenue is not too high, nor is it too low, which is just right for a unit like Endeavor Elite Brokerage that has reached a certain scale but is not a really large company. However, in Rick's expectation, after the further expansion of the company, it would be better to lease the second and third floors as well, and the entire building will become the exclusive property of Endeavour Elite Agency.

In this way, the office space is not as good as the international innovation management company on Constellation Avenue, but it is also comparable to William Morris and the innovative artist agency.

Walk into the building, register at the management desk on the first floor, and receive a visitor badge to enter the elevator. For Kevin, his personal visit to Endeavour Elite Agency is already a big deal for them, because generally speaking, such a cooperation can attract the attention of the company's CEO either in a film production company or in a high-end restaurant. For a large film production company, no matter how powerful the brokerage company is, it is always just an agency.

However, Kevin is willing to come in person today, and he also has his own considerations, he needs to go to Endeavor Elite Agency for inspection, and many details are drawn from the office space and company atmosphere. These details will often determine where the future development of Endeavor Elite Agency will be, whether it can become a breakthrough that breaks the balance of the three major Hollywood agencies, and what is the value of cooperation for large film companies. This is one of the important reasons why Kevin is willing to deign to come and visit.

After entering the elevator, Alan tidied up his suit a little and asked in a low voice, "Are we just meeting with the agent today, or will Hugo come over too?" This sentence made Kevin look at him.

Dean, who was standing on the side, replied in place of Kevin, "Hugo must be there, right?" We've all given the highest standard treatment, and if Hugo doesn't come out, it can't be justified. And......" Dean looked at the other three, "Hasn't Hugo always had a good reputation in the circle?" He has a humble personality and treats people gently, so in terms of etiquette, he will definitely not snub us. ”

Kevin took his gaze back, but took a light breath and said with a smile, "Many things can't be seen at the surface. In fact, Kevin also thinks that Hugo will appear, and Dean's words are not wrong. It's just that Kevin faintly felt a trace of uneasiness in his heart, and he couldn't say the reason himself, it was just an intuition.

Things have been going exactly as Kevin had expected them to be, with the script being retracted, the script being rewritten, and the meeting being rescheduled, all of which were planned. And Kevin also received the good news, the glorious Alfonso was interested in Tom Hanks's project, Hugo called Tom personally, and the agent Carl Earle also came out with confirmation here.

But it's just that all of them are too smooth, and Kevin finds it a little strange. Kevin knew deep down that Hugo's success in the past few years showed that he was not a fool, on the contrary, Hugo's wisdom was something that many people overlooked. Kevin won't forget that Hugo graduated from Yale University.

Hoping that it was just his own whims, Kevin calmed down. "Ding", arrived at the destination floor, and the elevator door opened.
