When I got home, Hallie's phone lit up on the pager, and Song Ya called back.

"Have you seen John?" She inquired carefully, it was supposed that John had talked to her about the chance encounter between the two of them just now.

"I didn't say anything to him, don't worry."

Song Ya knew that Hallie was very arrogant, and she didn't know how many she slept with in order to get her MV role, and she thought it was nothing for the two to play a friendly match, but she sought a role to deceive Kaizi into paying for it? It seems a bit too much, but it's better to stay away in the future.

"There is no ...... between me and him"

"Uh, Hallie, I'm a little busy right now, let's talk about that next time, okay?"

Song Ya hung up the phone.

If Hallie was smart enough, she wouldn't have called again, and the surprise of today's surprise was that she got Michael Owitz's contact number, and the next morning, he went to Goodman alone.

After taking over the legal affairs of his own A+ Records, A+ Audio, A+ Copyrights and Investment Management firms, Goodman simply moved his law firm to the same building as the recording studio to concentrate on providing services.

His consulting business was also developing well, and Song Ya saw several people sitting in line outside the office.

Of course, he didn't have to wait in line.

"OK, let's fight." Goodman picked up another microphone.

Song Ya went over the points listed by Goodman in his hand, took a deep breath and dialed the phone, "I'm looking for Mr. Ovitz...... APLUS…… There are no reservations. ”

After waiting for a few minutes to be transferred, an awkward 'Nihao, brain direction' rang on the phone.

“…… Mr. Ovitz? ”

"HEY, APLUS, WHAT, DON'T YOU SPEAK CHINESE?" The other party laughed heartily, "How about my few words of Chinese?" We're all Chicagoans, can we be considered brainy? ”

Song Yacai reacted to what he said, 'Hello fellow', "Very standard, Mr. Ovitz." ”

"Okay, don't laugh, you join, one agent, two co-agents, film and television music are included in our CAA packaging service, some small troubles, we can also settle it for you." Ovitz prescribes conditions.

Song Ya looked at what Goodman had listed.

In addition to brokers like Hayden, where most of the affairs are handled, joint brokers, were invented by CAA to change the drawbacks of traditional brokers. In the past, one-to-one service between brokers and customers, first, it was easy to deceive and arbitrage interests between customers and employers, customers and brokerage companies, and secondly, they often joined hands with customers to hide from brokerage companies and betrayed together. With a joint broker, not only can you provide more people and better services, but also increase the cost of betrayal, and a single broker will not be able to set off the wind and waves.

Packaging services are also invented by CAA, for example, if a film company wants to make a movie, it has to communicate with various agents and brokerage companies to recruit directors, actors, and actors, which is very cumbersome and has a very high time cost. And if it is all packaged to CAA, CAA can select the whole team from its own customers and hand it over to the film company at a fixed price, simple and convenient. Entering the packing, it means that the opportunities are greatly increased, CAA has meat, maybe you can drink the soup.

The service spirit of CAA extends even wider, such as using social resources to solve all kinds of troubles for celebrities, because celebrities are generally people who have achieved class jumps, and they have many deficiencies compared to the older upper class, such as children who want to go to prestigious schools and can't find enough recommendation letters, or they don't have doctors and lawyers who can be trusted when they encounter trouble, CAA can help.

Song Ya saw Goodman show a piece of paper with a percent sign drawn on it.

"What about commissions?" He asked.

"Nine percent." Ovitz replied.

Goodman wrote three more letters on the paper, WMA.

"Can I go to William Morris on this condition to bargain?"

"Haha, please, if you've paid attention to Hollywood's movements, you should know that they've been beaten to the ground by me."

"But the music industry."

"We also have a lot of artists in the music industry, such as Madonna."

"Okay, Mr. Ovitz, I'll think about it again."

"Yes, my conditions will always be valid."

Ending the call, the two put down the microphone, "How is it?" He asked Goodman.

"Let's talk to William Morris, William Morris's service can't be compared to CAA, but they're improving, and among the songwriters in the music industry, the veteran William Morris still has a very solid foundation."

Goodman now knows a lot about the entertainment industry, "Since Owitz is on the phone directly, his kind of person doesn't have time to bargain with you for 1% or 0.5%, and 9% should be the final offer, if William Morris's offer can be cheaper...... It depends on how you choose, cheaper, William Morris, better service, CAA. ”

"How's Ovitz going?" Song Ya asked, the other party took the initiative to show Mandarin just now, which was very good for him, at least it showed that he really valued himself.

"A top broker who can climb on the conference table to dance to clients in order to make a business, is also a top businessman, and his many innovative designs have made CAA, a rising star, a towering tree."

Goodman replied: "Of course, he will be terrible when he shows his fangs, and he likes oriental culture, Chinese and notebooks, I heard that he is familiar with Sun Tzu's Art of War, and when CAA built its headquarters, he even asked Mr. Feng Shui to help him." He's a good friend of the book.,Sony buys Colombia.,Panasonic buys MCA,He's made a big effort.,You know, it's a big business that can affect the governments of the two countries.,With the current atmosphere of the whole country full of bad feelings towards the book,It's not easy to do these two businesses.。 ”

"Rice traitor?"

These two words suddenly popped up in Song Ya's mind, but he immediately shook off this idea with a smile, reaching a large acquisition of billions, and the commission alone can take tens of millions of dollars, and it is difficult to say which country will benefit more from these two acquisitions.

Anyway, there is still time before the expiration of the brokerage contract, Song Ya is not in a hurry now, he doesn't even plan to convey the CAA's offer to William Morris, he has to wait for the other party to take the initiative.

"Uh......"

Goodman saw that he got up and wanted to leave, hesitated, but still said: "The brokerage company will not be polite to customers who change jobs, be careful that they collect your black material." Of course, you are still young, have creative ability, have no idol baggage, and there is no big contradiction with them, they generally don't do that badly. ”

Song Ya stopped and thought about it, he was not afraid of William Morris, but William Morris should be afraid of himself, after all, he didn't have the idol baggage, but Mira did, and they had high hopes for Mira. As for the black material, I am more careful than Hayden, what black material can I have?

"Thanks, Chuck."

He reached out his fist and touched Goodman behind his desk.

Anyway, there's still half a month to go on his promotional trip, and when he's on his way, he'll be working with Walt Afanajiv over the lyrics of 'Remember The Name'.

"You can say that this song is a tribute to Jordan, but it's best not to mention Jordan's name in the lyrics, mention him, there will be a lot of trouble in the future, Jordan's agent David Falke is not a good stubble." Walter said.

"Broker? Isn't it amazing? Song Ya is very sensitive to the word agent now, "And my song is touting Jordan." ”

"Very powerful, have you ever heard the two Davids say? The other David is NBA commissioner David Stern. You think you're touting Jordan, and the other party may think you're using him to hype, so don't take any risks in this matter. Walter admonished.

"Okay."

Song Ah originally wanted to elevate the style of the whole song from talking about the internal affairs of the rap group to the sports level, but now that I look at it, this idea is a bit problematic, and maybe the skeleton of the original words is good.

"In that case, it won't change much." He makes a decision.
