Chapter 643: Chopping His Hand (Part II)
The Beverly Hills Hotel is a favorite hangout for Hollywood's biggest names. The hotel covers an area of 12 acres and spreads out in a strip along the palm-shaded Sunset Boulevard, and the whole hotel has a pink hue, which is known as the "pink house" in the industry; Consisting of luxurious suites, ballrooms, bars, cafΓ©s, as well as superior villa suites and gardens, the entire design is in the Renaissance style.
At the entrance of the hotel, there is an endless stream of cars with black and white as the main color, and Rolls-Royce and Mercedes-Benz are the main brands; Public swimming pools are often surrounded by fairy-looking and radiant starlets, dressed in bikinis, showing off their skin, hoping to be favored by a big-name star or director; Million-dollar movie deals are talked about in the lounges, the terms of which are often drawn out on cocktail napkins; Dense meadows and gardens of various styles are in full bloom with rhododendrons, camellias, roses and magnolias, and clusters of flowers exude pink and white sweetness.
As soon as the last rays of the evening sun set, and the sky was still hanging with colorful sunsets, Jim and Gary, who were white and black people who were in charge of parking at the hotel gate, handed over their shifts to their colleagues on time.
"Oh my God, this kind of car is coming here?"
Jeffrey Kruger, who had just taken up his post, saw a strange-looking black pickup truck coming, and hurriedly trotted to stop it, and Gary next to him hurriedly grabbed him and whispered: "Boy, this is Lamborghini LM002, worth more than $500,000!" The whole Hollywood is driven by two people, and this car is China Ming's. β
As soon as the words fell, the black pickup truck had already arrived at the door, Jeffrey hurriedly went to help open the door, Gary grabbed him again, stood a step away from the car, and said with a smile: "Ming, you are a rare guest here, come to a meeting?" β
Sun Ziming pushed the car door and jumped out of the car, looked at Garry, and scolded with a smile: "Boy, there is a camera in the back of my car, if it is stolen, I will let your mother pick your skin!" β
The black boy Gari is not afraid of Sun Ziming, this black boy is used to being no big or small with him, and said with a smile: "Mary can't run away from me, she has never caught up with me since she was a child, so she can only follow me and scold." Wow, Miss Kayo, you're so beautiful today, can I go on a date with you? β
Kayo Sato, who came around from the passenger cab, smiled, did not respond to the's teasing, took out two ten-dollar bills from his bag, and put them in the hands of the white guy Jeffrey, but turned his head to Gali and said, "Gali, take care of the boss's things, we will come down in fifteen minutes." β
βOkοΌThinkοΌyouοΌβ
Garry got into the cab, suddenly stuck out his head again, and said to Sun Ziming: "Ming, my birthday tomorrow, can you come?" β
Sun Ziming stopped, scratched his head, turned around, and took out a black S from his jeans pocket. Dpon Dupont lighter, handing into the cab, "Boy, give me your broken lighter, this is a birthday present for you, I have to go to Massasse to shoot tomorrow." β
The black boy thanked him in a strange tone: "Some, how nice it would be if I had a birthday every day!" β
The plastic lighter was changed for a thousand dollars, and Grace drove to the parking lot with satisfaction, and when he returned, he stood in front of Jeffrey and said triumphantly: "My mother works as a maid for China Ming, and he is a very good person." β
Jeffrey, whose full name is Gejeffrey Kruger, graduated from New York University and is the most down-and-out of Hollywood's many screenwriters, who has been reduced to a part-time job to make a living. He hated the show-off of this, as if he had a mother who worked as a servant for the big man, and she was a big man, but now he had a request for this.
"Garry, do me a favor, can I help Ming get the car later?"
"No, he has too many valuables in his car!"
Jeffrey begged, "Galli, I beg you." I'm a screenwriter and I want to give him a script. β
Garry glanced at his colleague strangely, and exclaimed in a low voice: "The college student you said was you?" God, you're a bad mix! β
Shit!You nigga aren't standing here and parking for people? Jeffrey scolded secretly, and begged again: "Brother, help, I succeeded, and I will definitely repay you." β
While talking, another car came, and Garry hurriedly prepared to help the guest open the door, and whispered: "White pig, you owe me a favor." Ming doesn't like, you just give him the script and leave your phone number! β

By the time Gary parked the car and returned to his post, Jeffrey had already put the script under the stage and said gratefully, "Thank you, Gary." β
"It's okay, I'll help you say good things later, be clever yourself. They're big guys, we're just pathetic worms, OK"
"Ok", Jeffrey looked a little differently, the elephant didn't look so shallow.
It's strange today, there isn't much traffic, Garry saw Jeffrey's confusion, and said in a low voice: "The big guy has a meeting on it, and the security guard has diverted the vehicle in front." β
Yes? Jeffrey hurriedly asked what it would be, and Garry said in a low voice: "In the past few days, the Producers Association and the agency have been negotiating above, and they are obviously the last to arrive, and they are probably here to support them." β
That's right, Sun Ziming is here to support the Producers Association, and as soon as he enters the palatial conference room, Shirley and the others all get up to shake hands and hug him. Even Michael Ovitz of CAA and Lovett of WMA stood up to greet him, but the smiles on their faces began to change.
The new general manager of UTN fell last and respectfully said: "BOSS"
"Don't, you'll be your own boss from now on!"
After a period of greetings, Sun Ziming sat next to Warner's Pationes, the two whispered a few words, and Shirley next to him leaned over again, which made Ovitz feel that something was wrong.
As expected, after the three of them briefly said a few words, Pation and Shirley whispered a few words to other companies in front of the agency, and then made a gesture to the Japanese man in the world.
Shinyuki, who had been smiling silently, finally stood up, cleared his throat and said: "Gentlemen, on behalf of Warner, Paramount, Light and Shadow, and Universal, I inform you: The total salary of the actors shall not exceed 45% of the total budget of the film, and the box office share shall not exceed 15%; In addition, no agency can bundle sales, and the production company must have the right to freely select actors, directors, and screenwriters, otherwise we will not use any of their contracted artists. β
"Why? Nobuyuki, are you crazy? Don't forget that your Panasonic acquisition of Universal was facilitated by our CAA! β
Nobuyuki looked at the mad Michael Ovitz and smiled slightly, "That's right, our president has always been grateful to you, so he paid a commission of 40 million US dollars. β
As soon as Nobuyuki finished speaking, representatives of WMA (William Morris Agency), ICM (International Innovation Management), and UTN, which had just been acquired by Brian, immediately said, "Mr. Shinyuki, we accept your briefing, and Hollywood should be everyone's Hollywood. β
The representatives of MGM and Fox, who had been hesitant, saw that the four production companies had united, and three of the four major agencies had agreed, and they also stood in the camp of Nobuyuki.
"Ok, we support it too. Producers must have the right to freely choose actors, directors, screenwriters, and anyone who resists the principle of freedom, we no longer use it! β
Michael Ovitz thinks these people are crazy, and without the participation of the CAA, will the agreement work? Don't they know that nearly two-thirds of Hollywood's superstars and big-name directors are CAA clients?
Jiang Peng stood up with a smile and retorted, "Mr. Ovitz, you are too confident. If Hollywood doesn't have our producers, can you produce and distribute movies? β
Michael Ovitz didn't look at Jiang Peng, only glared at Sun Ziming, like a crazy gambler trying to restrain himself, and said in a deep voice: "Ming, do you know what this means? β
Hmph, this guy overestimated himself, and if the producers weren't united, he would indeed be broken by each of them. But now that I have this spoiler, and I am a spoiler who doesn't make money from movies, I'm afraid the myth of CAA can't appear again.
"It doesn't matter, anyway, I don't make money from movies, it's a big deal that our light and shadow company will help other companies make films next year. Michael, our light and shadow films make a lot of money. β
"You", Michael Ovitz trembled with anger, pointing at Sun Ziming and speechless for a while.
Sun Ziming also glared back, and said in a deep voice: "Ovitz, if you still put your hand on our plate, I will definitely chop off your hand!" β
