Full of wine and food, Zhou Zhen also asked the inside story he wanted to know and sent the guests away.

Seeing the reporters at the door, Zhou Zhen wanted to hide again, but was pulled by Theron and directly faced the reporters' cameras.

When Stallone and Batista left, Theron said, "ZZ, my manager is a good project, my image, she played an important role in turning the tide in Hollywood at my age."

Regarding your future plan, I will let her plan according to your situation, as my support for you. ”

Zhou Zhen did not refuse her kindness, he smeared Hollywood and the American boxing world. He doesn't understand the rules here, and with an acquaintance leading the way, he can avoid many detours.

So in front of reporters, he gently hugged Theron and said, "I won't refuse your kindness, because this is really what I lack now." ”

She smiled and patted Zhou Zhen's waist. "So do you need me to introduce you to a brokerage company, a reliable broker?"

"Not for the time being, I need to plan the development of boxing first, and there are already three film contracts, which is enough for me to toss for a while."

Stallone and Theron got into the car and left, and most of the reporters dispersed.

On this street, most of them are Hollywood practitioners, and there are countless starlets, but Zhou Zhen is not ranked yet.

I found that this was normal social networking, and the reporters had no material to write about, so they were naturally disappointed.

If Theron doesn't stay overnight tonight, I'm afraid he will attract countless paparazzi.

Back in the house, his mother was posting photos on WeChat, Zhou Zhen took out his mobile phone, and saw many aunt-level messages and was envious.

His father was a little jealous, saying that she was too affectionate with Stallone.

Zhou Zhen replied below: Dad, don't worry. Stallone saw his mother kick the thick wooden stake at the mouth of the bowl, and his face turned blue with fright.

His father shuddered again: That is, the tigress is the only one who can live with me, Wu Song.

back: I'll go tomorrow to see if the washboard in the United States works well, and bring one back.

The other aunts were envious of them for paying two dog food, but Zhou Zhen was a little supportive.

Putting down his phone, he went back to the house, turned on his computer, and began to search for boxing agent information.

Compared with the narrowness of the fighting circle, the boxing ring is really a mixture of dragons and snakes, and there are all kinds of people.

Gangster bosses, casino tycoons, retired boxers, workplace elites, etc., all kinds of elite talents, together form this complex circle.

Seeing so many famous agents, Zhou Zhen didn't know what to choose, but strength was a must.

After reading for a long time, Zhou Zhen saw that there were two unread emails in his mailbox and opened them.

One is the January publicity plan sent by Xiaoliang's studio, and the other is the new script sent by "Golden Cicada Shell 3".

The storyline of "Golden Cicada 3" is actually not complicated, the daughter of a Hong Kong tycoon disappeared in the United States, and Zhou Zhen played the role of a master appointed by the tycoon, who came to the United States from Hong Kong to save people.

And Stallone and Batista are still old identities, and they are also the helpers that the tycoon is looking for in the United States.

The three of them were dissatisfied with each other at the beginning, and finally resolved the conflict, and went to the prison known as the Demon Station together to save people.

The storyline is much better than the previous one, and the logic is more reasonable.

The role played by Zhou Zhen is still cool and showy.

He is happy with his role, but he doesn't know that because of him, the history of the film has changed.

Originally, this movie was also a super bad movie, not counting the salaries of Stallone and Batista, the cost was only three million, and it was filmed in seventeen days.

But because Zhou Zhen was paid a salary of one million dollars this time, the producers, including Stallone, paid more attention to the script and shooting of this film.

Today, the film's production cost has been raised to $10 million, and it has been adjusted from the original R rating to PG-13 rating.

Zhou Zhen, a supporting role, was regarded by Lionsgate as the key to enter the Chinese market because of his outstanding appearance and fierce skills.

His role has been increased a lot, although it is not as good as the role of Brother Xiaoliang in the second part, but it can be similar to Stallone.

Of course, this is because Stallone is a little old and can't move.

After all, he is almost 72 years old.

It is worth mentioning that the filming location of this movie is the prison in "The Shawshank Redemption".

Lionsgate is not an art film company, and Stallone is just to make money and prepare dowries for his three beautiful daughters, so this popcorn movie is to be good-looking.

Due to the revision of the script, although the preparations have been completed, the filming will not start until mid-January.

Zhou Zhen spent a night reading the script and knew that this role was actually not difficult.

His name in the movie is still called ZZ, a nickname with the same name, and now it has become Zhou Zhen's label.

The next day, Zhou Zhen went to the airport to send his mother back, and Zhou Tai went back with him this time and came back in mid-January.

Filming started in mid-January, and this year's Spring Festival will be celebrated in the United States.

However, his father, his mother, and Uncle Quan and Uncle Ming will also come to Los Angeles for the Spring Festival.

Coming back from the airport, Zhou Zhen drove, Meng Lei sat in the passenger seat, and began to report to Zhou Zhen the list of ten agents she had compiled based on the information she had searched on the Internet.

Zhou Zhen listened patiently and said to her: "I will meet with Theron's manager in a while, and I will show her the information later." Boxing agents are very important, and you must be cautious in this regard. ”

"Why don't you just sign with Theron's company, MME is very good, and Avery Emmanuel is one of the best agents in Hollywood."

"Do you think I'm going to sign MME, and Emmanuel will take me personally? What's more, I have already finalized the films I will participate in this year and next year, and he may not be able to look down on my profits. ”

"But here in the United States, you still need a brokerage company."

"Don't worry, I need precipitation now, and I need fame even more."

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Zhen ushered in Theron's manager Millie.

She is just 50 years old this year, has been in Hollywood for decades, and knows the industry very well.

The manager is not a broker and will not expand the career for the employer, but will make a unified plan for the employer's image management and asset management.

Before she arrived, she had already learned about Zhou Zhen's video on the Internet, and she had a general understanding of Zhou Zhen's image and strength.

But these are far from enough, because he wants to understand Zhou Zhen's character, set his image according to Zhou Zhen's requirements, and plan for future development.

Therefore, she communicated with Zhou Zhen for more than an hour, and carefully understood Zhou Zhen's personality traits and various hobbies, including plans for the future.

Before leaving, she said to Zhou Zhen: "With my suggestion, you should seize the current media influence, sign a contract with an entertainment agency first, and I can contribute to team management at present, but in terms of career planning, I can't interfere." ”

It is still recommended that he sign up with a brokerage company. Zhou Zhen asked, "Do you have any suggestions?" ”

"Since your main target is not showbiz, but boxing, I personally recommend that you sign with CAA. They have more influence in the sports circle, and even ordinary boxing agents have to give them some face. ”

Zhou Zhen knows that this is the law of balance, and if he doesn't find a powerful backstage now, he will often suffer losses if he negotiates with a boxing agent.

After Millie left, Zhou Zhen looked at the three boxing agents she had circled and decided to follow her persuasion to find an acting agency first, and then contact these three people.

CAA's headquarters is not far from Zhou Zhen's house, in the Death Star Building in Century City.

Zhou Zhen called the other party and said his request, and the next day, the development department of CAA sent an agent named Rutgers and three assistants.

It is worth mentioning that there is an assistant who is also Chinese, from Tianjin, who went to college in the United States and has been working at CAA for eight years.

Although Zhou Zhen is not well-known, and there are no works of his in the market now, he is also a hot news topic, and he has a lot of potential that can be tapped.

Moreover, the box office of China has risen amazingly, and in the second half of 2017, it has approached the North American market.

In the past, Chinese actors were not taken seriously, but now they are a little more valuable than before.

CAA is obviously more prepared, knowing that Zhou Zhen has too many opportunities in Hollywood, and has the strength to defeat Batista, which belongs to the scarce resources in Hollywood now.

Although his Chinese identity cannot have the potential to be the top brand in Hollywood, there is still a place for reasonable development.

Rutgers is of Filipino descent and does not have the domineering side of white people. One of the assistants he brought with him, who specializes in sports competitions, is also very familiar with the world of boxing.

Performing arts agencies in the United States have restrictions, and the commission cannot exceed 10%.

But when it comes to sports commissions, there is a big difference between the two sides.

CAA wanted to take five percent of Zhou Zhen's commission, but Zhou Zhen was unwilling to let them earn the money.

Because he's looking for a boxing promoter, which is actually in competition with CAA.

A large company like CAA can't play boxing, and if they have a dispute with the boxing agent he found because of their interests in the future, it will be very troublesome.

Rutgers advised him: "Although CAA does not have rich experience in boxing, it has an incomparable advantage in the representation and image building of various sports brands." ”

Zhou Zhen retorted: "Then I can sign the brand endorsement and boxing competition brokerage contracts separately, anyway, the boxers, except for the top ones, do not have many endorsements, which can be negotiated separately when I look for an agent." ”

Boxing agents generally take a 30% cut, and after becoming a top boxing champion, it can be slightly lower.

Because boxing agents are also called promoters, they are responsible for organizing events, publicity, and bidding, and the cost paid is much more than that of ordinary brokers.

The acting agency contract was signed three days later, but the sports agency contract and advertising agency contract were not signed for the time being.

In the terms, Zhou Zhen insisted that he had the final decision.

CAA doesn't pay much attention to Zhou Zhen at the moment, they just take a fancy to Zhou Zhen's scarcity of kung fu, so they don't insist on leading Zhou Zhen's acting career.
