At the same time, Charlotte was not only discussed by Jodie Foster and her assistant Anna.

As one of the most important agents in the CAA, Pat Kingsley is also talking to people about this emerging director.

- On the phone.

"Dear old Tony, do you think my plan is viable?"

She made a phone call, and the pen in her hand turned,

"Sign Charlize Theron first, and then pull Charlotte Booth to the CAA through her. ”

“...... You shouldn't ask me about this kind of thing, right?"

Across the phone was Anthony Westwood, a producer who had worked with Charlotte on two films.

In fact, Mr. Westwood was surprised to receive a call from Pat Kingsley on New Year's Day in 1995.

In his opinion, there is nothing good for the famous Tom Cruise's agent to find himself. After all, one of them is a producer and the other is an agent, and they are inherently opposite when it comes to salary.

So, even though the two had a relationship back then, Mr. Westwood didn't give her any good tone at first.

Until she explained her intentions-

She wants to sign Charlize Theron, and she wants to pull Charlotte to CAA with her.

It's not easy to get it!

Mr. Westwood is well aware that Charlize's rise is inevitable with the success of Happy Death Day, and that she is bound to have an agent soon.

As for Charlotte, directors don't have to have an agent. But obviously, with a broker, a lot of things will be a lot easier.

The question now is, which brokerage should they choose? CAA or MA, or ICM or even UTA?

Westwood didn't know which of these agencies had offered them olive branches.

Of course, this has nothing to do with him.

- At least not until the next time you work with the two.

Now, when Pat Kingsley called, it was clear that she had intentions in this regard, but—

"Don't you have a superstar like Tom Cruise, and what are you staring at Sally and Charlotte?"

Mr. Westwood couldn't help but ask the question.

"For the future, Tony!"

There was a smile in Pat Kingsley's voice,

"It's true that Tom is my most important client at the moment, but that doesn't mean I don't need to sign a new person......"

The more stars in your hands, the higher the status and the more power the agent has.

Mr. Westwood, of course, understands this, and he asks this question only because he is upset.

- This is a natural hatred between the producer and the agent.

However, after taking the emotional factor out of the equation, Mr. Westwood is supportive of Pat Kingsley signing Charlize. After all, as a broker, Kingsley actually cares about her clients......

"Sally's words, as long as you really think about her and the conditions given are suitable, it shouldn't be difficult to sign her. As for Charlotte—"

Mr. Westwood muttered for a moment,

"I know that you CAA have always liked to play the packaging business, which is actually an infringement on the authority of the director, so you need a director with whom you have a good relationship. And Charlotte, I don't know what his attitude is towards this. ”

“...... Yes, I see. Thank you, Tony!"

Pat Kingsley hung up the phone, but a smile appeared on her lips.

- Westwood doesn't want me to sign Charlotte Booth!

As a shrewd woman, Kingsley heard Mr. Westwood's intentions.

That's enough!

What she needs is precisely this denial-

As Mr. Westwood said, CAA is particularly fond of the packaging business. To put it simply, according to the needs of the filmmaker, multiple artists under it are tied up and signed to the filmmaker together.

Among these artists, of course, there are filmmakers who take a fancy to them, but some of them are pure additives.

Although this method of adulterating private goods has increased CAA's profits, it is also easy to be disgusted by the filmmakers, especially the director.

CAA, on the other hand, hopes to reduce this antipathy by pulling in the relationship with the directors, and even hopes that the directors will take the initiative to accept this kind of packaging business.

Of course, this is impossible for the great directors who have already become famous. But for some rookie directors who are still in the development period, it may not be.

That's why Pat Kingsley has her eye on Charlotte.

After all, the big hits of the two movies "Fatal Bend" and "Happy Death Day" can't be hidden. The latter, in particular, is almost a sweep in the Christmas schedule at the moment.

If the director who can make such a movie can't pay attention, then CAA can also close its doors.

And the reason why Pat Kingsley called Mr. Westwood was to get some information from him, but also to hear what he had to say about Charlotte.

- As a producer who has worked with Charlotte twice, Mr. Westwood's assessment is still very meaningful.

After all, whether a person has development potential or not, in addition to looking at the existing achievements, the evaluation of the people around him, especially his partners, is also very important.

It's just that Jin Sili didn't ask this question directly.

In her opinion, asking directly, whether Mr. Westwood likes or hates Charlotte, the evaluation given will be obviously subjective.

And such an evaluation does not make much sense for her to evaluate Charlotte's development potential.

She was in a straight ball tentative, and Mr. Westwood's slightly dissenting answer made her very satisfied—

If Mr. Westwood has no plans to work with Charlotte again in the future, why should he care if the latter has an agent?

If he no longer cooperates, even if the latter has an agent, it will not be him who is calculated to increase his salary.

This reaction just shows that Charlotte is important.

"It seems that old Tony is very optimistic about Charlotte Booth!"

While continuing to turn the pen in her hand, Pat Kingsley pondered,

In this way, it is necessary to get closer to the new generation of directors. However, we still have to sign Charlize Theron first!"

Through the conversation with Mr. Westwood just now, Pat Kingsley has confirmed that there is indeed an ambiguous relationship between Charlize Theron and Charlotte Booth.

Therefore, Kinsley is ready to get closer to Charlotte through Charlize first.

Of course, for Charlize himself, Pat Kingsley is also very optimistic -

After all, in terms of appearance and figure alone, a girl can be regarded as outstanding in the whole of Hollywood, which is enough to make her a vase in many blockbusters.

What's more, Charlize has already starred in two movies with good box office and has initially proved herself, and her acting skills are really good......

"If it's developed, maybe it can reach the level of Meg Ryan!"

Meg Ryan, who starred in "City of Angels" and "Sleepless in Seattle", can be said to be a model for many American sweethearts.

Pat Kingsley uses her as an analogy to Charlize's future, and she feels that she is largely overestimated. After all, the latter's South African identity makes it not easy for him to integrate into various circles in Hollywood, but-

Life will always be unexpected from time to time.

PS1: "Editing Agent" is a bad movie made in Hong Kong, released in 13 years, starring Ah Sa...... Well, actually, I would rather see Gillian.
