647 The King of Hollywood?
At nine o'clock the next day, Nicole Kidman woke up, her white jade face was full of spring, and she touched the side, and the person who tossed her all night was long gone.
Looking at the sunshine in the house and hearing the faint sound of balls, Nicole was wearing Sun Ziming's big shirt, with snow-white jade feet, stepping on the snow-white wool carpet with the instep of her feet, and walked to the window to see that Sun Ziming was naked and strong with a strong upper body, competing with a basketball on the court.
"What a strong orangutan," Nicole snorted, putting on her slippers and going to the bathroom to wash up. After taking a bath, Nicole only eats some fruits and vegetables, and then takes some fruits and the like to swim in the pool on the roof to lose weight. Losing more than 20 pounds of meat a month is a very difficult job.
Taking off Sun Ziming's big shirt, the plump Nicole walked into the cool pool for a while, and when she lay on the edge of the pool to watch the manor, she found that it was much larger than her own home, two or three acres; And it's full of towering trees, overlooking the City of Angels and the Pacific Ocean in the distance, unlike your own home with a small garden.
"What a rich man, such a good house would rather be empty here."
Nicole sighed enviously, continued to swim, ate some fruit when she was tired and hungry, and took a break from watching TV.
According to reliable sources, CAA's key partners Chad Raft and David O'Connor have left CAA to join WMA and ICE. A few days ago, it was rumored that several major Hollywood film companies are negotiating with their agencies......
“Oh,my,god!’ Nicole Kidman exclaimed, God, doesn't this mean that the CAA has disintegrated?
That's right, the CAA disintegrated!
With the joint efforts of several major film companies, in the past two months, in addition to the films that have already started filming, the film producers who have not started filming have terminated their contracts with CAA's actors and directors under various excuses. Not to mention Oscar-winning Al Pacino and actress Emma Thompson, even big directors and producers such as Nora Ephron, Jonathan Demy, and Ridley Scott would rather lose 20% of the deposit and must terminate their cooperation.
Excuses are always excuses, what lack of funds, other plans of the company, etc., the whole American people know that this is a fight between the agency and the film company. And unlike in the past, this time several major film companies would rather use all newcomers than step by step as before!
As TV commentators say, if the major film companies that control the distribution channels are united, no one can compete with them unless all the actors and directors are united. Everyone knows that behind Warner is Times Group, behind Light and Shadow is ESPN, and behind Paramount is UPN TV Network .......
It can be said that except for the elderly MGM, behind all the giants are media groups with strong capital. Even if CAA changes to production, they can still connect with the theater chain, but they can't get publicity channels. Without the publicity of TV, mainstream newspapers, magazines, who knows what movie you made?
Directors and actors on strike? This is impossible, CAA only likes to sign superstars and first-line stars, big directors, a large number of second- and third-tier and even small actors, all of whom are WMA, ICE, UTN. I'm afraid that those who are crushed to death by superstars and big directors are looking forward to the producers to come to this trick and completely ban those big stars and big directors, so that they can have a bright future.
What is the restriction on remuneration and box office sharing? As long as there is a chance to become a big star, I don't know how many young actors and directors would rather accept more demanding requirements! Don't you see the public pool at the Beverly Hills Hotel, where some young and beautiful stars are scratching their heads?
In the end, various commentators gave a pertinent analysis and conclusion, and the brokerage company can only fish in troubled waters if it provokes the contradictions of several major film companies, otherwise it can only become a vassal of the giants again. Just like the NBA's agency, there is no room for bargaining with the league, only with the team within the tolerance of the Jews!
The conclusion is that the facts have proved that the power of capital is not at all a counterweight to negotiation skills. In the face of absolute strength, the weak can only be tricky'!
The media is in the hands of media conglomerates, who are analyzing a dismal result for the brokerage and are again criticizing greedy brokers.
They only look at top brokers like Michael Ovitz and David O'Connor, who make tens of millions of dollars a year, more than their clients; I don't look at it at all, and I only get a base salary of 50,000 yuan for the lowest broker; Instead of looking at the benefits that agents get for their clients, they compare their 10% commission with the NBA's 4%, calling them Hollywood vampires.
Of course, these are some saliva, and they can't hurt a single hair of CAA, and they are afraid of being scolded when they are brokers? However, CAA has dominated 2/3 of Hollywood's top stars and big directors in the brokerage market, which has long made agencies like WMA, ICE, and UTN salivate; With guys like Sun Ziming taking the lead in making trouble, and several major producers instigating them behind them, everyone partnered to dig a hole for CAA - not to give a film contract.
So the CAA split, Chad Raft, David O'Connor, and their clients went to WMA, ICE, UTN, and Michael was left alone.
Listening to the news reported on TV and the analysis of commentators, as well as Jiang Peng, Shirley, and Shinyuki, who appeared very well, Nicole immediately remembered Sun Ziming, who was still playing below.
Oh God, Ming became the King of Hollywood, oh no, the King without the crown!
……
No, Sun Tzu Ming can't become the King of Hollywood!
After reporting the news of the collapse of the CAA, another bombshell was dropped on the TV station.
Audiences, this is the Hollywood SGA (Screen Actors Guild), and here's the most exciting news for you. Jason, what regulations are your union going to promulgate, and what is the main purpose? ”
"Ok, the Producers Association has introduced new industry regulations that the total remuneration of the crew in the future shall not exceed 40% of the budget, as well as prohibiting the bundling of brokerage companies. In order to prevent unfair competition and the encroachment of our actors by the studios, we can only introduce a rule that all union members are prohibited from signing with any agency that has an affiliation with the studio. ”
The reporter cooperated: "Why?"
"If the studios had their own agencies, they would certainly give preference to their own actors over the rest of the union fairly. Gentlemen, there are nearly 100,000 actors in Hollywood, but there are only eight large film companies with complete distribution channels, plus light and shadow, if we don't unite, those capitalists have 10,000 ways to bring Hollywood back to the darkness of the sixties! ”
Subtitles were immediately typed on TV, and the actor agency of Light and Shadow Group acquired UTN (United Elite Agency) for 50 million US dollars, with three hot angels, Jack Chen, Fa Yun Zhou, and Chris Swift...... and other big-name stars; China Ming, Chris Columbus, Frank Collint and other great directors. ”
"God, is the union crazy?"
Nicole's exclamation is not over, and the DGA (Directors Guild of America) and WGA (Writers Guild of America) have introduced similar regulations one after another.
"God, Ming's 50 million is gone, and a large number of superstars have been lost!"
Not long after, the sweaty grandson Ming came up, and when he saw a snow-white mermaid in the pool, his eyes lit up, and he just wanted to pounce on it to feast, Nicole hurriedly pointed to the TV and shouted: "Ming, go and find a way, you have made people harmful!" ”
Yes? Sun Ziming turned his head to look at the TV, and his face was as black as the bottom of a pot. , I just got the brokerage company here, but I let the film academy and the union jointly dig a hole for myself!
Regardless of how Nicole Kidman, who was undressed, was sultry, Sun Ziming rushed to the phone and asked George to discuss it quickly. It's over, I'm going to be a big deal now!
