"How's that, Michael, what do you think of my proposal!" Sitting Michael. On the comfortable sofa in Ovitz's office, Mr. Lei said as he flipped through an article in Time magazine.

"There is no problem with taking shares, but they still need to be discussed in shares."

Michael. Ovitz's joy is beyond words, you must know that CAA is still a small company at this time, and it is very difficult to have funds, and now suddenly a big capitalist comes over and says that he wants to take a stake in CAA, of course, it makes people happy, and the most important thing is that this person is not a layman, and there is a relatively famous film company in Hollywood.

It can be said that if Lei Weidong can take a stake in CAA, the actors and directors under MSI will directly sign in with CAA, which is crucial to expanding CAA's talent resources.

"How many shares are you going to sell me!"

"We all need to sit down together and talk about this formally before we can decide!" Michael. Ovitz said with a smile.

"Why! Michael, you're not the president and majority shareholder of the company, and you can't call the shots about this yet! Lei Weidong asked.

"Of course not!" Michael. Ovitz shook his head and said, "We are very democratic within the CAA!" ”

Because Michael. Ovitz et al. When Morris Brokerage was doing things, he was fed up with seniority and bureaucracy.

So Michael. When Ovitz et al. founded CAA, in order to prevent bureaucracy and maintain team cohesion, they adopted a unique average equity system, that is, the shares of each partner are the same.

So there are some major issues that you have to sit down and discuss.

Twenty minutes later, the official meeting was held in the office of CAA, and of course Lei Weidong brought an interpreter because of English problems.

Because Michael. Ovitz and the others are still relatively young and do not have enough knowledge, and there is no obstacle for Lei Weidong to wander around the company, so that Lei Weidong has some understanding of the economic situation of the five young people, and he is more confident about the capital injection CAA.

"Mr. Lei, I don't know how you plan to invest in our company?" Because he was familiar with it in advance, Michael. Oviz asked straight to the point.

"I want to know, if I inject two million dollars, how much of the shares are you going to give me?" Lei Weidong said with a smile.

"Two million dollars! It's kind ...... "Michael. Ovitz glanced at the others, and they couldn't help but be a little silent.

The total registered capital of CAA was only tens of thousands of US dollars three years ago, and although it has increased a lot now, Lei Weidong injected 2 million US dollars, and then directly became the largest shareholder, accounting for more than ninety and five percent of the shares.

This makes these young people who want to be their own bosses a little uncomfortable, and no company founder wants to change from a boss to a wage earner.

"I don't know, Mr. Harry Potter, how many shares do you want!" Michael. Ovitz asked.

"In this way, I don't want to take more shares, sixty percent belongs to me, and the remaining forty percent belongs to you." Lei Weidong said,

"Of course, although I am the largest shareholder of the company, I will not interfere in how to manage the company. Because my career is currently in Hong Kong. It's impossible to stay in the U.S. for long. ”

Hearing that Lei Weidong would not interfere with the company's operation, the five young people couldn't help but be moved, but they were still a little unwilling for Lei Weidong to take away sixty percent of the shares, after all, the development of CAA can already see a little prospect.

"No, Mr. Harry Potter, sixty percent of the shares is too much, we can give you fifty percent of the shares at most." Michael. Ovitz and the others discussed it and said;

"Yes!" Although he failed to achieve absolute control, Lei Weidong was more satisfied with being able to get fifty percent of the shares, after all, if you want the horse to run, you must let the horse eat grass.

Lei Weidong is just paying for it, and the development of CAA still needs Michael. Ovitz and others worked hard, so two million dollars, half of the share value.

Not to mention that decades later, CAA has grown into a giant among Hollywood agents, earning more than $300 million a year, making it the most influential agency in Hollywood.

CAA has nearly half of Hollywood's entertainers, nearly 2/3 of the top stars, as well as top directors, producers, playwrights, as well as singers and bands, which can make Lei Weidong a top entertainment boss in Hollywood.

Of course, the reason why Lei Weidong became a shareholder of CAA is more important for the consideration of the Hong Kong entertainment industry.

Although professional agents appeared in Hong Kong in the early 80s, most of them were stragglers, based on human affection, and were not institutionalized.

Of course, in Hong Kong in the eighties and nineties, the reason why brokerage companies could not be run was also determined by Hong Kong's special social environment.

In the eighties and nineties, there were too many examples of Hong Kong artists being forced to film and not receiving money, such as Liu Tianwang, who was forced to make a lot of bad movies, and the price was significantly lower than the market price.

In the face of the invasion of underworld forces, no agency in Hong Kong has the ability to protect its artists from persecution, and since you can't even protect its artists, the agency company naturally can't be opened.

But even in the 21st century, Hong Kong doesn't have a standardized brokerage company – Emperor is more of a hodgepodge of film, television and music brokers.

The perfect agent system is an important part of the modern film industry, and CAA is the benchmark of the agent company.

You must know that whether it is a Hong Kong movie or a mainland movie, the overall industrial level is not even as good as a finger of Hollywood.

Since the strength is not good, then study hard, there is CAA matchmaking, what is lacking in the future, what is dug from Hollywood, there are not many others in China, that is, there are many people, and talents are poached, and ten or eight students are sent to follow, and if one can learn something, Chinese films will be stronger.

As for whether Lei Weidong's establishment of an agent company can protect his artists.

Hehe! Lei Weidong's tens of thousands of security guards are not decorations, and if anyone dares to reach out and force their artists to film, they will be directly flattened first, and then pulled out his boss for a lesson.

If he dares to stretch out his hand next time, Lei Weidong will not kill anyone, he will be directly tied up and thrown to the mainland, and the person who can make a name for himself on the road is not guilty of many crimes.

As long as they are guilty and let them go to prison, it will still be easy to squat after 97.

Of course, if it weren't for the artists of his own agency, Lei Weidong wouldn't have asked.

Lei Weidong is a businessman, not a saint, and he will not do anything that is not beneficial.
