Li Mingbao really didn't know what this CAA was, but Li Mingbao was also a person with a golden finger, so while listening to John's words, he began to check what this CAA was with whiteness. After all www.biquge.info this company is really as bullish as John said, and it will definitely be able to leave a little testimony in history.

When Li Mingbao saw the information about CAA, he realized how simple this company is.

It has only taken less than eight years since the beginning of 75 years to change from an unknown company to an agency that now has a significant role in Hollywood. If that's surprising, it's not even the peak of CAA, or even the age of their big expansion.

CAA stands for Creative Artists Agency (CAA), which is the world's No. 1 elite talent agency. The contracted artists are highly well-known and large-scale, and the company's artists have a complete range of well-organized artists, involving film, television, music, etc., and also have playwrights, directors, producers, a complete set of teams from pre-script to post-production, as well as top music producers and performance agents.

This is the data on the whiteness, of course, this is the data 30 years later, but even at this age, there are very few companies that can rank in front of CAA. It only took them thirty years to occupy half of the Hollywood agents, the old William Morris Company, only to eat dust behind their company's ass.

Even later, their company business expanded to the world. Even the mainland has their company. At this time, Li Mingbao suddenly felt that this company was familiar, and the big guy had dealt with this company, but not often, after all, although the big guy was the boss behind the scenes, he was not the top boss in the mainland entertainment industry, and when CAA was in the mainland, he was quite arrogant, and only cooperated with the top companies in the mainland, and other people, even if they wanted to cooperate with them, they didn't have this opportunity.

It's no wonder that the big guy doesn't know much about CAA, and even Li Mingbao has no image of this company, the root of which is that the big guy is so mixed that CAA can't look down on it, since he can't look down on it, then there are naturally fewer opportunities for cooperation, and it's normal that his reputation is not obvious.

After learning about this situation, Li Mingbao understood why John was so curious about not knowing CAA. After all, Li Mingbao said before that he opened an agent company, but he didn't even know about such a big Hollywood company, and he didn't understand the mountains and rivers at all when he opened a brokerage company.

But now that Li Mingbao knows what CAA does, he can only pretend not to know, after all, he didn't know what this company was doing before, but in a blink of an eye, he was more familiar than John, isn't that a test of other people's IQ?

So Li Mingbao pretended to be willing to hear about it and asked John to introduce him to CAA. And John doesn't mind at this time, after all, a company like CAA couldn't get along with DreamWorks before, and CAA hasn't expanded much this year, although their kind of people have a high evaluation of CAA, but the people below, like outsiders like Li Mingbao, don't know it's really not strange. Even if it's an old Hollywood company, it's normal to don't know CAA, after all, many of these agents are independent actors who do separate business.

is not affiliated with a large company, but only has a broker qualification certificate, and it is really mysterious to want to know about such a behemoth. The most important thing is that the real development of CAA is TV series, although they also have a lot of control over the film industry, but they cooperate with at least large film companies, and their bundled sales do not start with the following companies, and DreamWorks is the kind of independent company that makes its own films and produces its own ideas, so there is no intersection at all.

Since Li Mingbao asked, John didn't mind explaining to Li Mingbao, otherwise Li Mingbao said that he had opened an agent company, which would be a joke on the Hollywood side.

After John finished speaking, Li Mingbao pretended to wipe the sweat from his head and said: "I didn't expect that there is such a formal brokerage company in the United States, it seems that the brokerage company I got in Hong Kong before is completely fooling." It even gave me a new idea about the brokerage industry. ”

"It's normal, most of the people above know what this company does, but we don't want all the people below to know, plus we have some agreements, so when he expands, he also has some scruples. If I hadn't said it, would you have thought that we, the film companies, would be forced by an agency company? There is no face to say it, let alone promote it.

But now that this company has become a climate, we are not easy to move, so we can only let them be a little more honest and don't meddle in too many affairs, but in fact, such a threat is not a big deal for them, but their main energy is now on TV dramas, so the movie follows some rules, which is normal, but until they control the TV industry, the film industry will definitely not be able to escape their poisonous hands, and in the future, our companies will have to look at their company's eyes when making movies. The corners of John's mouth were bitter.

John's appearance is not pretending, the agent industry was strictly controlled in Hollywood at the beginning, although they can make money, but they also play a big role, so everyone doesn't mind giving them a bite to eat. But now a practice like CAA is completely bypassing the previous restrictions on agency companies, and can get more benefits, and it also makes John, the bosses of film companies, unable to speak.

And Li Mingbao read the information after reading it, and also understood the reason why John was depressed, no one likes agents who can only earn 10% of the money, and raise the funds by dozens of percentage points, which is clearly robbing the film company's money, but this money-grabbing action is taken for granted in front of CAA.

I have to say that the founder of CAA is worthy of being the head of a Hollywood movie star, and if he doesn't open a film company, he can affect the Oscars.

But I have to say that CAA's project is also a good cooperation goal for ordinary film companies. After all, after cooperating with CAA, the film company can operate completely brainlessly, in front of and behind the scenes, and even the director, as long as the film company gives money, others can give you a one-stop service.

Lighting and photography these behind-the-scenes employees are all employees of CAA, give them a movie script that they are optimistic about, and then send the funds over, without the intervention of the film company, there can be a movie for you, such cooperation, even if it is a novice layman, as long as you enter the industry and cooperate with CAA, then your company does not have to worry about not being able to make a movie, and it is another thing to say that it is not a loss, but it gives laymen a great opportunity to get involved in Hollywood.

Perhaps this is the real reason why CAA continues to grow and develop, because Hollywood is a piece of fat, and laymen are already greedy. But they are not idiots, and if they rush into this industry, they will easily be eaten by the old film companies. But now with CAA, you can hang up a sign by yourself, and then sort out the distribution channels, even if it is a distribution channel, you can ask CAA to help, and then the movie will come out. In a word, as long as you have money and want to make a movie, you can go directly to CAA.

Although their fees are high, compared to the restrictions of other film companies in all aspects, making a little less money can open the market, who doesn't like it, no wonder John These giants know that CAA will bring great variables to Hollywood, but they still dare not touch them, because behind CAA, there are Wall Street, investors, and all the jackals who want to make a vote in the film industry. Such a company, even if it is a Hollywood giant, has to weigh whether its arms are hard enough to block it. Obviously, they can't stop it, so now the development of CAA is a little unscrupulous, so that a big guy like John can only complain in front of Li Mingbao and don't talk about this topic outside.

Li Mingbao didn't want to say much about Hollywood's internal affairs, but after seeing this CAA model, Li Mingbao wondered if he could do it in Hong Kong. But after thinking about it for a while, I felt that the cost of doing so was too high, and Hong Kong's current film industry could not afford to support the CAA model.

CAA's model is not difficult to copy, it is quite simple, in fact, it is bundled sales, they not only sell stars, but also directors, including behind-the-scenes subtitles, script ideas, as long as they need it, they can sell it, in this case, the film company has become a thing that does not make much sense.

This hand is completely to build the industrial chain into an iron bucket, and even if they have the heart, even the theater chain can get involved. Hollywood has forbidden film companies to control theaters, but it has not banned agent companies from controlling theaters. It can be said that if this company has the ability to bring down all the people, they will directly be a trust group, and completely destroy the old order.

Of course, this is certainly not possible on the side of the United States. After all, these old forces will not be indifferent to the expansion of CAA. If it really gets to that extent, it is not impossible for the CAA high-level to be shot black. Anyway, the United States does not ban guns, and when people die, criminals can still live freely with the help of lawyers.

Therefore, if you want to completely build an industrial trust, CAA is impossible. Even if he has the president of the United States behind him, the giants of the film industry have a lot of votes in the parliament, and if you really cut off everyone's financial route, others can fill in your life. It's okay for you to take advantage of a little bit, but if you break the rules, no one can save you.

MGM was bullish back then, right? Overwhelming others, MGM will have to be demolished as soon as the federal law is forced. Not to mention MGM, the oil trust is so powerful, hasn't it also been dismantled?。.。
