Chapter 1058: The Death Knell (4)
Scottie Pippen's retirement ceremony was a great success, not only making him cry in public, but also proving to the American sports world once again that the great China is a good man, a great man who cherishes friendship very much. This impression is very important for sports stars who are mostly from poor backgrounds and have well-developed limbs and simple minds!
It's important that ESPN's reporters can freely go in and out of the celebrities' mansions, and everyone discusses how to create gossip or news; In a matter of days, the NFL (National Football League), MLB (Major League Baseball), NBA (National Basketball League, and NHL) superstars each had an iPhone or iPad.
Even if those sports stars didn't expect it, their agents also saw the commercial value of these two products and wanted to get a piece of the endorsement advertising. It's a pity that they met Brian, who is more savvy than them, so many film and television stars and sports stars under UTA, which round will get other agencies to grab food?
However, Brian didn't get a bargain, because he ran into Claudia, who was no worse than him. And Claudia has just become the president of the American branch of GCA Electronics, and she wants to maximize the interests of the company. Fortunately, Brian is also Sun Ziming's agent, this identity is very useful to him, and he can't make sense with Claudia, so he goes to the light and shadow company with his briefcase.
"Boss, in the past, in order to stabilize the Bulls' roster, you always gave the team's No. 2 and No. 3 players endorsement contracts or cameo roles. Now your company's mobile phones and computers, the business prospects are so good, you can't always cheap people from other companies, it's inconvenient for your own company, right? ”
Sun Ziming, who had just been quarreled with by Lucas and James, was annoyed in his heart, pointed to the office door and said unceremoniously: "Get out!" You/him/are Lao Tzu's agent, you can't help Lao Tzu, and you still bother Lao Tzu? ”
Brian, who has followed his grandson Ming Saddle for fifteen years, has long been scolded by him, and he knows better what the boss wants, so he hurriedly laughed and said: "Boss, give me three minutes, just three minutes, I have a way to let Leo take the little golden man." ”
Well? Sun Ziming looked at this bastard suspiciously, he didn't even know much about what he was sure about, would this old boy have a way?
Brian, who was as fat as a pig, hurriedly closed the office door, and helped Sun Ziming light a cigarette like a pug, and flattered: "Boss, I may not be good at what I say, you can't be angry." ”
Raising a pet will still have feelings, not to mention his once powerful subordinates, Sun Ziming retracted his anger, threw a cigarette to him, and motioned for him to sit down and said.
"Say"
"Hey, don't you think we didn't have PR last year, and you still took the little gold man, which is a little unreasonable?"
Brian cautiously looked at Sun Ziming's face, and saw that he showed no signs of getting angry again, so he said in a low voice: "Boss, I think it's because your social reputation is so good that many judges subconsciously voted for you when they voted, instead of voting for Lee or Bennett Miller."
Of course, your film is also very good, and if you play fair, you may not be unable to win the Golden Man. ”
"Fart! That's someone secretly", halfway through the words, Sun Ziming took it back again.
"I know there's no secret in Hollywood, someone is secretly doing PR for you. However, we all understand that Boss, PR can only be useful when the strength is equal, and no one can rely on PR alone to send a film or director with a significantly lower level to the podium.
IMHO, in terms of artistic value and social significance, "Brokeback Mountain" is indeed better than "The Wolf of Wall Street". If I had the right to vote, out of fairness and inner inclination, I am afraid that I would also vote for Best Picture for "Brokeback Mountain", and for Best Director, Leo would probably not vote for Best Actor. ”
Sun Ziming also pondered about this, but he didn't think about it like Brian said, and now that he thinks about it carefully, maybe Tino started from this aspect to help him snatch the best director of Li Yu and sacrifice the best film of "Crash".
"Continue", Sun Ziming casually picked up the teacup next to him and poured a cup of tea for Brian.
I have to say that people who can eat brokerage meals have already figured out human nature. Brian knows very well in his heart that when he reaches Sun Ziming's status, he no longer cares about those little gold men who rely on public relations, but cares more about sending friends and followers to the podium.
"Blood Diamond" is definitely another popular film at this year's Oscars, we don't report Best Director, Best Picture, only Leo's Best Actor!"
Sun Ziming pondered for a while, "Well, it makes sense, but Leo is still too young, I'm afraid those judges are still not easy to convince." Brian, everyone is jealous, and Leo's path is too smooth. ”
Brian, who had already figured out Sun Ziming's psychology, stepped back a little in the swivel chair and said cautiously: "No, no, we just need to add a halo to Leo to eliminate jealousy." Boss, as long as you give him the global endorsement contract for your iPhone and iPad, and then ask him to donate the endorsement fee to poor children in Africa. In this way"
Before Brian's words were finished, Sun Ziming picked up the cigarette case on the table, smashed it at the old bastard, and mocked: "You have a sick brain, right? Leo is a movie/star, not an announcement artist! For the sake of your commission, you came up with such a bad idea? ”
Brian, who had been prepared, took the 'Great China' cigarette case and said with a smile: "Boss, I haven't finished talking yet, isn't it okay if the ad is not placed in the United States?" Now so many sports stars and Hollywood actors use iPhones and iPads, why do you need celebrity endorsements? But not necessarily in Europe and Asia, you say? ”
Hey, that's really the truth, Sun Ziming also remembered a mobile phone advertisement that was only placed in Asia: Leonardo and a strange woman met frequently in Paris, and she kept rubbing shoulders with him on the streets, in the rain, on the stairs, in the car.......
"Ok, you go talk to Leo, and if he wants to, I'll shoot this commercial."
"Think/you/boss", Brian immediately left the office and went next door to call Leonardo.
Leonardo now dreams of that little golden man, how can he not want to? After receiving a call from Brian, he immediately rushed out of the house and came to Sun Ziming's office at a gallop.
However, when Leonardo finished reading the script that Sun Ziming had just written, he was dumbfounded. This is a commercial, it is clearly a movie.
"Movies?"
Sun Ziming picked up the script suspiciously and re-sorted it over, the puzzle-type design, the confusing character relationships, the multi-clue narrative, the unknown mystery, and the open-ended unknown ending are really a bit of a script.
"Wait, why don't we make a movie like this?"
This kind of movie must be fun, Leonardo rubbed his forehead with his right hand, and just wanted to agree, Brian hurriedly said: "Boss, the movie is a matter of the future, and now it's a matter of how to help Leo get the little golden man." ”
"Yes, yes, I was almost led astray by this kid. Leo, what do you think of Brian's suggestion? Do you want to discuss it with Ali first? ”
"Ali has no opinion, he's rushing this way. Boss, anyway, is advertising, and if you want to put it around, you can place it all over the world, including the United States. ”
Well? It's not a Hollywood tradition for movie stars to shoot commercials and run them in the United States. Oh, that guy Ali is trying to hype it up, so that when the Oscars are selected, he will canvass for Leo.
"No need, it's too much", Sun Ziming laughed for a while, and motioned to Brian, who was more sophisticated than Ali, to explain.
