Chapter 15: CAA Brokers
Anyway.
Anne is actually not yet eighteen years old.
She was born in November 1982.
It's only August.
In three months, she will officially turn eighteen.
Now she,
is a particularly beautiful, good background,
and a young newcomer in the entertainment industry who has already debuted.
There are no connections, experience, and confidence.
Suddenly, I was sprayed by a little awe-inspiring agent,
Naturally, she suddenly became nervous.
Fortunately, the two have known each other for almost a month and a half, and the relationship has been confirmed for more than half a month.
Half a month of irrigation,
Plus half a month of pampering.
And at this time, he is the only one close to him,
has made the girl regard Abel as the first reliance now.
She looked at Abel with a somewhat alarmed expression, and the latter smiled at her unhurriedly.
Then he reached out, "Give me the phone, let me come and talk to him." β
Anne Hathaway hesitated, looked at him, and then at Edward, the bodyguard standing expressionless not far behind him.
She gritted her silver teeth,
I handed my phone out.
Take over the star star SGH-M188,
Abel's voice was emotionless, and he spoke directly:
"Is it Michael, the agent of CAA?
I'm Abel Smith.
You may not have heard of the name, but it doesn't matter.
What I want to tell you now is.
I want you to be at Charlie Brown's Pizzeria at 33 Ninth Avenue in half an hour.
Here I am, and so is your client, Miss Anne Hathaway.
If there's something you can come over here to talk about.
But before that, I want you to apologize to Miss Anne Hathaway for your rude words.
Otherwise, you do so at your own risk. β
His emotionless words stunned Michael Levine on the other side of the phone.
Michael Levine is a CAA company, an excellent broker.
Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts and other Hollywood superstars have all been his guests.
Now Michael Levine has started working for some of the Hollywood stars of the Mesozoic Generation.
At the same time, he is also trying to tap some potential artists.
Anne Hathaway is just such a potential newcomer he fancies.
Because he has served top superstars, Michael Levine faces a little cute newcomer like Annie.
Naturally, he has enough confidence to be tough, not to mention that he has CAA behind him to support him.
So he was naturally not polite at all about the phone call just now.
In fact, he felt that he had been very polite just now.
Because Anne Hathaway has gone too far lately.
An N-line star,
Lost contact with the brokerage company for half a month.
If she was seriously investigated, she could already be held accountable for violating the contract.
Michael Levine is indeed optimistic about Anne Hathaway, so he did not pursue it, but anger is inevitable.
It's just that he didn't expect it,
After I finished spraying, it was not Anne's timid voice that rang on the other side of the phone.
It turned out to be a young man's voice that sounded very arrogant.
Hmmmβwhen Abel's voice was not emotional, it sounded a little arrogant.
More arrogant,
It was the content of what the young man said.
It sounded like it was all orders, as if this guy named Abel Smith was his immediate boss Michael Levine.
You think you're Ovitz?
Michael Levine thought about it for a moment, and then wanted to speak again.
only to find that the phone had been hung up.
"Duh... Honk.. Duh..."
A wave of fire surged from the depths of Michael Levin's body.
He was originally very dissatisfied with Anne Hathaway's recent actions.
Now I was even more angry.
He called again, but he couldn't get through.
βFXXKοΌ Shit.β
Michael Levine couldn't help but scold.
At this time, next to his colleague Derek Wright.
Seeing his excited look, he couldn't help but speak:
"What's going on? Would Anne Hathaway make you so angry? Hasn't she always been obedient? β
Michael's colleague Deleke Wright is actually Anne Hathaway's agent.
The CAA's model is different from that of other economic companies.
Other brokerage firms,
Most are a broker that is responsible for the normal mode of several contracted clients.
However, on the CAA side, it is a contracted customer who will have multiple CAA brokers at the same time.
Generally, there are at least three of them, who will be responsible for different areas of the customer's problems.
Like Anne Hathaway,
Her agent, in fact, has three.
Michael Levine, and Derek Wright are two of them.
The other is not here today.
Anne Hathaway is a newcomer to Michael Levine's excavation.
Relatively speaking, Michael Levine also has to pay more attention.
Michael Levine did not answer Drake's question directly, but asked:
"Drake, have you heard the name Abel Smith?"
Derek Wright struggled to recall and shook his head:
"Not very impressive. Is it a broker from another company? Or a scout, or someone else? β
Seeing that Drake didn't know him, Michael Levine himself had never heard of the name.
He has always been cautious by nature, and he did not act immediately.
After thinking about it, he picked up his Nokia 6110,
Looking for a look, call the phone number of an influential person stored in Lower Manhattan inside:
"Hello, dear John. It's me, I'm Michael, Michael Levine.
Yes. I'm in New York right now and have some business.
Hahaha~ Okay, no problem. This time by all means.
That's right. Have you ever heard of Abel Smith in Lower Manhattan?
Haven't heard of it? Oh, okay.
It's nothing, it's just that someone asks me about this person.
You're waiting in the lower town, thank you.
Good. Good bye.
....β
Seeing his colleague finish the call, Derek Wright couldn't help but say:
"You called John Allen?"
Michael Levine shrugged, "Yes. I wanted to ask him something. β
Drake frowned, "John Allen isn't a character to mess with. Is the thing you have to ask about these filthy bed bugs in the sewers? β
"It could be related."
Michael Levine thought about it, and still told the truth to Derek Wright.
After all, Derek is also Anne Hathaway's agent.
He can't do everything himself, and Derek should be responsible.
After listening to Michael's account, Derek hesitated for a moment and whispered:
"Are you suspicious that Anne Hathaway is being targeted by the Gangs? Is this Abel Smith a Gangs? β
"It's possible. Otherwise, how dare this kid be so arrogant? Michael Levine asked rhetorically.
Derek nodded, as if there was a possibility.
"So what do you want to do? John Allen, please? β
"Or just call the police?"
Derek Wright asked.
