As soon as I got to work today, all the colleagues in the open office hall looked at Thomas's eyes, and in just a few months, his client Martin Davis won the North American box office chart twice!

"The last time this happened to a lobby broker, how many years ago?" Someone asked in a low voice.

Another said: "Like, it seems like the second year that Ali Emmanuel has left the mailroom. ”

The former was both envious and jealous: "Where is the value of the broker?" Client! Thomas now has Martin as a client, and as long as Martin doesn't kick him, he's bound to be developed. ”

The other stopped talking, and a thought came to his mind: Martin Davis's next movie must be finished.

At this moment, it is not known how many brokers in the hall have similar thoughts.

Thomas, in particular, was called away to meet with the higher-ups.

These people who have been trained in the mailroom look nothing wrong on the surface, but their emotions are extremely complicated.

Everybody wants to be Thomas, and everybody doesn't want anyone else to be Thomas.

Leaving the hall, Thomas walked past a dozen separate offices.

The door to one of the offices opened, and Pinto leaned against the door frame and watched as Thomas turned into the elevator.

He turned his head and looked at the independent office diagonally opposite, where four or five workers were putting the finishing touches on it, and computers had been installed at the independent workstation outside the door.

The frosted glass door is plastered with a sign - Thomas Lane.

Independent office, or the kind with assistants!

Just one Martin Davis makes Thomas a presence more than him.

Pinto regretted that he should have worked harder to win Martin Davis, and he had many female clients in his hands who were no less beautiful than Anne Hathaway.

Is there still a chance to poach Martin Davis? Pinto thinks carefully unless he jumps away.

Thomas went upstairs and came to Ali Emmanuel's office.

Whitesale, who was in charge of administration, was also there.

Whitesel got straight to the point: "In the past six months, your work has been very effective, cultivating clients like Martin, and the following office has been prepared for you, and the assistant will go to the mailroom to choose." ”

Thomas had already seen the office, but he was still very happy when the dust fell, and suppressed his excitement and said, "I want to choose Natasha at the front desk." ”

Whitesel replied, "Go back to the mailroom and go through the formalities." ”

Ali took over: "Martin is a good actor, his acting skills, emotional intelligence, communication and network are quite outstanding, and he has the potential to continue to move forward." ”

Thomas smiled and replied, "Yes, although Martin sometimes does things ......"

I wanted to say that there is no bottom line, but Martin is his client, and he must defend Martin: "Sometimes things are more out-of-the-box, but he is absolutely trustworthy at work, Martin does not handle work like a hairy boy in his twenties, like an old actor in his fifties and sixties." ”

Ali emphatically said: "Many people are also sober before they become popular, but they are carried away by success, you have to pay attention to observe, for the company, Martin's value and profit can be greater, and he can't let him fall quickly." ”

People or anything is not the key, the key is the profit that people can bring.

Thomas said, "I'll keep an eye on Martin." ”

Ali asked, "I heard Martin is working on a new project?" ”

"Yes, Martin set up a studio to work with Louise Mayer at Pacific Pictures, who was primarily responsible for plattering, producing, and planning." Thomas roughly said: "The project is called Wanted, based on the top cow comics, the crew is being built, Martin and Jolie starring the male and female leads. ”

Ali asked, "What about the investment amount?" ”

"Expecting around $50 million, Martin has a couple of female investors in Atlanta, and Louise Mayer is also his supporter," Thomas said. ”

"Yes!" Ali was a little curious: "There is a lot of arguing about getting engaged to Anne Hathaway here, and there are a few female investors over there, and Martin's strength is the most prominent!" ”

"I'd suggest that Martin's internal level be changed from a five-tier client to a four-tier client, and while he doesn't get paid at the $5 million level, he's in a very special situation with a lot of backing from his patrons," Whitesel said. ”

Thomas then said: "One more point, I haven't had time to report to the company, Martin and I are ready to fight for a new project directed by Scorsese and Leonardo, the second lead role in the gangster cop film "The Departed". ”

"You guys?" Ali couldn't help frowning, he just said that he wanted to stay sober, these two have been carried away by the box office champions?

Thomas hurriedly explained: "Pacific Pictures basically negotiated a project platter with Warner Bros., and Louise will let Martin bring money into the group, about $20 million." ”

Ali and Whitesel looked at each other, and a thought came to their hearts at the same time: how powerful is Martin Davis's strengths, and he has done it so far!

This guy is completely dependent on women!

Eat soft rice to such an extent, absolutely talented!

"There are two things that Martin needs the company's support for." Thomas is used to super soft rice men, and it's no surprise: "Louise will talk to Warner Bros. and director Scorsese about cooperation, focusing on Martin, the company's side ......"

Ali nodded: "I will communicate further with Scorsese and Warner Bros. ”

Thomas added: "Wanted is currently lacking a suitable director in the action genre. ”

Ali is a person who does big things, and he didn't hesitate: "I will help him find a suitable director, but in a series of supporting roles for the project, the company's customers must be used first." ”

Thomas said, "That's what Martin meant. ”

Ali looked at Whitesail and said, "The company's fourth-level resources are prioritized towards Martin. ”

Martin has two movies to shoot in a row, and he will not use the character resources recommended by the company in a short time, but the company's attitude of importance must be put out.

There are too many poaching between the major Hollywood agencies.

…………

Near noon, Martin came to the WMA, and many people looked at him with strange eyes.

There were also some people who took the initiative to come over and say, "Hi Martin, congratulations." ”

"Our box office champion is here."

"What's your next project? Bring my clients? ”

In the brokerage company, no matter who he faces, Martin looks very kind, harmless to people and animals, like a stupid white sweet with good luck.

Arriving at Thomas's office partition, Thomas was sitting in a chair, his desk empty.

Martin understood at a glance and went over to bump fists with him: "Man, you have a separate office." ”

Thomas smiled and beckoned, "Follow me." ”

The two entered the independent office area, and Martin saw the independent office with the "Thomas Lane" sign hanging from a long distance, and a short blonde woman sitting at the assistant workstation at the door.

Seeing Martin coming, the blonde woman took the initiative to stand up and say hello: "Good morning, Martin." ”

Martin remembered her: "Hello, Natasha. ”

Thomas pushed open the frosted glass door and invited, "Quick, come in and have a look." ”

Martin followed him in, the office was not big, only about fifteen square meters, in addition to the desk and filing cabinet, there was also a couch for guests.

Thomas was excited: "How's that, isn't it?" ”

Martin knew he had to be encouraged: "Great office, I want to stay here." ”

After the encouragement, it is natural to add a little more burden: "But this place is still a little smaller, and the big office upstairs is more suitable for you." ”

Thomas nodded: "I want to go upstairs too, but that's an office that only senior agents and partners can have." ”

"Do you have no faith in me, or do you not have faith in yourself?" Martin needs Thomas to charge and never allow him to rest on the spot: "Who was the number one box office in North America last week?" Yes? It's us! We are a golden combination, we have good momentum and we have a bright future. ”

He accentuated: "We still have a lot of goals, we can still stand higher!" ”

Thomas is full of energy: "Yes, I want to be a partner in the company!" ”

Martin said: "There are senior partners above the partners, and then there are co-partners, just like me, now I am a little star, and there are many more levels of ...... above."

"You are now a fourth-level customer of the company, that is, a star-level customer." Thomas said: "You can't get paid, but you're in a special situation. ”

Martin understood: "Because I can bring money into the group?" ”

"Yes." Thomas selectively described the relevant situation that Ali said, mainly talking about Martin's customer level promotion, as well as the two items of Wanted and the Departed.

Martin pulled out his office chair, sat down at Thomas's desk, and said, "There was a movie that was successful, and it felt like there were more good people around. ”

Thomas pulled back the blinds of the window and said, "A lot of connections and resources are brought about by the success of one after another." ”

Martin asked, "If I fail, all the bad guys around me?" ”

Thomas pondered for a moment and said: "When a film starring a star is at the box office, everyone from the producer to the distributor, from the theater to the audience, will remember him, and all the actions he makes, no matter how vulgar, are right and good." ”

His voice changed abruptly: "If the film fails, do you think these people will let him go?" Will you simply forget about failure? Won't put box office poison on his head? ”

Martin couldn't help but laugh: "Thomas, you can be my life coach." ”

Thomas said, "Because I want to be successful with you!" ”

It was fast to noon.

Thomas invites Martin to a nearby restaurant for dinner, and Bruce joins him, and Mr. Agent generously contributes.

"Lao Bu, we used to have less contact, but we will have more contacts in the future." Thomas had a drink with Bruce and said something nice: "We're going to do a good job of serving Martin." ”

Bruce laughed like a pervert: "No problem. ”

Martin also gave Jessica's contact information to Thomas: "I hired a personal assistant who is responsible for fans, blogs and some chores, if you can't contact me and Lao Bu, you can contact her." ”

Thomas wrote down the contact number directly.

Coming out of lunch, Bruce asked Martin, "Where are we going?" ”

Martin said, "Go see Vincent and Sophia. ”

Bruce was apprehensive: "You go by yourself?" ”

Martin didn't want to go alone either: "Hey man, you don't have a work ethic!" ”
