In the morning, Martin made foods like toast omelette and bacon sandwiches.

Blake came downstairs, stretched, sat down at the table, tasted the omelette on a white porcelain plate, and said, "It smells so good." ”

Martin poured two glasses of cowboy: "I've been exercising a lot lately, so eat more." ”

Blake forked an omelette on his plate onto Martin's plate and said deliberately: "You have consumed a lot of protein these days, so add a little more." ”

She blinked again: "I eat a lot of protein at night, it's okay to eat less in the morning." ”

Martin said that sure enough, when the women started driving, the men had to pull aside.

Blake took a bite of the sandwich, it didn't matter what it tasted like, the feeling of the male god cooking for himself made her intoxicated, and she couldn't help but say: "How nice it would be if you woke up every day and could eat such a loving breakfast." ”

This kind of thing, once in a while, is fun, and every day becomes a torment, and Martin will not give her this unrealistic fantasy: "I will help you make breakfast when I have time." ”

Blake suddenly returned to reality, the two had known each other for so long, as if this was Martin's first time making breakfast.

Usually she doesn't make breakfast, and Martin doesn't make it either, but Lao Bu makes breakfast more often.

Martin changed the subject: "When will I leave and I'll see you off?" ”

"No need, let's go to the airport together after the crew meets." Blake is currently confirmed to star in a film and a series, the former is about to begin filming, and she's about to leave for Louisiana: "We've been together for a few days, and we're going to be separated again. ”

Gathering less and leaving more is the daily routine of star actors, Martin relieved: "I will soon leave Los Angeles to shoot outside." ”

The story of "Never End" takes place in New York, and the crew got a tax refund quota in New York, and the whole process will be filmed in New York.

Blake said, "Wait for me to rest, and I'll see you in New York." ”

Martin nodded, "I'll visit your class when I have time." ”

After the two had breakfast, Martin took Blake's luggage from upstairs and escorted her to Burbank Bogreat Street.

Eric Lively took the luggage that Martin had removed, waited for the two to say goodbye, and called his sister into the studio together.

Blake stood in the doorway until Martin got into the car.

When his sister entered a break room, Eric reminded: "He's full of scandals, don't you care?" ”

Blake didn't seem to hear it, and didn't pay any attention to him.

Eric added, "For Aniston, he fought Brad Pitt!" ”

"Martin won, it's great, isn't it?" Blake's thinking is not on the same channel as his brother at all: "How good my vision is, and the male god I found is endlessly charming!" ”

Eric was so angry that he couldn't speak, and after a while, he pointed at Blake and said, "You have a good eye?" That's a male god? Clearly a scumbag! ”

Blake warned, "Shut up, don't say that about my idol." ”

Eric froze: "I'm too lazy to tell you. ”

Blake reminded: "You should prepare well for the role, and being an actor requires serious dedication." ”

"How many years have I been an actor? Seniority is older than yours. Eric is one of the poorly gifted kinds, but he doesn't admit it: "All I lack is opportunities!" As long as there are good plays and good roles, I can surpass Martin Davis in one play! ”

Blake pursed his lips, feeling that his brother had no self-knowledge at all.

Eric shook his head secretly, thinking that his sister had a problem with his eye.

…………

Century City, WMA.

As soon as he got to work, Thomas contacted several senior executives of the company and made an appointment for a meeting.

When it was half past ten, he entered a small conference room on time.

Whitesell and Ali Emmanuel were waiting for him.

After Thomas sat down, he got straight to the point: "Yesterday, Maha Darkhill, the executive agent of CAA's Brian Lord subordinate, had direct contact with Martin and made it clear that he wanted to poach Martin to CAA. ”

Whitesel was in charge of the day-to-day affairs of the company, which was under her jurisdiction, and quickly asked, "Did Martin tell you?" ”

Whether you say it or not, it reflects the customer's attitude.

Thomas then said, "Martin told me on his own initiative. ”

Whitesel breathed a sigh of relief.

Ali frowned slightly, WMA had just poached Halle Berry from CAA, and CAA immediately targeted Martin.

Even if it is replaced one-to-one, this deal is a big loss.

How can a declining black Oscar-winning actress compare to Martin, a new generation of male stars who are rapidly becoming popular?

Ali reminded: "This could be CAA's revenge against us for poaching Halle Berry, or they could be targeting Martin!" Thomas, don't be careless, the commercial value of two Halle Berry is not as good as one Martin. ”

"Martin still wants to continue working with me, after all, I have walked with him since the very beginning." Thomas is talking about him, not the company, and first ensuring his own interests so as not to be replaced by the company bosses.

He went on to say: "But CAA has offered him resources to look at Brad Pitt, and the brokerage commission is only 7 percent......

"Fake!" Whitesel couldn't help but curse: "The bastards of the CAA are breaking the rules, which will only make those stars more and more arrogant, and the speculation of agents more unscrupulous!" ”

WMA was able to poach Halle Berry, on the one hand, because of Catwoman's failure, which made her career seriously frustrated, and there was no improvement in CAA.

On the other hand, Halle Berry is famously fond of firing his agent, and once her career goes up and down, her agent will inevitably take the blame.

Thomas and Ali did not speak, and as first-line entertainment agents, the two of them actually knew very well that regulations such as the Entertainment Act were somewhat biased towards protecting the interests of customers.

The contract can only be signed for a maximum of three years, and if the customer cannot get the corresponding job within half a year, the customer has the right to terminate the contract unconditionally, etc.

Ali asked directly: "Does Martin want to leave the WMA?" ”

Thomas gave the exact reply: "I can guarantee that where I am, Martin will be there!" ”

Brokers are rising because of their customers, which is the most common situation, and Ali has been in the business for decades, so he naturally understands what Thomas means.

"There's no way we're going to give Martin the treatment of a superstar, let alone a superstar, and his appeal is nowhere near that," Whitesel said. ”

She thinks a lot: "If the conditions given at one time are too good, and Martin's coffee position rises further, how can we improve his treatment?" If he becomes a superstar one day, or even a supergiant, will we only take one percent of the brokerage commission? This will have a ripple effect, what do other customers think? ”

Ali still asked Thomas, "What do you think?" ”

"Martin is different from ordinary star actors, and his influence spans the film industry and the entertainment industry." Thomas knew very well that as long as Martin was in his hands, he would have enough capital, and WMA could not be satisfied, but other companies could.

He also has the confidence to talk to the company's top management: "Martin is a hero of Los Angeles and a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and this halo can at least pull $5 million at the box office for the film he starred in!" ”

Ali recognized this because it was the WMA's assessment based on the Wanted Warrant.

Thomas continued: "Although Martin's coffee position is far less than Leonardo, he has the same ability to initiate and participate in projects as Leonardo, the "Wanted" project was first initiated by Martin, and the "Neverending" project that is currently in preparation was also initiated by Martin, and he participated in the actual investment, and other Pacific Pictures, Gray Films, and Beast House Entertainment, also supported Martin. ”

Ali told the truth: "Because Martin's project has made them profitable." ”

"Yes, it's still a big profit!" Thomas emphasized again: "How many actors in Hollywood can pull tens of millions of dollars into the group like Martin? ”

It's still the project crew that started by itself! Ali had a toothache when he thought of this, and he always felt that Martin's little guy had found a stable investor before he came to Los Angeles.

When Thomas said this, he suddenly realized that for himself, Martin is the most important thing, and WMA or everything has to stand behind!

Without Martin, where would he go to find such a strange customer?

Thomas's ass used to be slightly biased to Martin's side, but now he almost sits on Martin's side, saying: "I think it is necessary to improve Martin's treatment, and CAA is not the only one targeting Martin." ”

He specifically emphasized: "Among the post-80s Hollywood stars, when it comes to commercial appeal, how many people are stronger than Martin? Elijah Wood? Christensen Hayden? The former is a group drama, and the latter is a Star Wars! And what about Martin? Eyes across the mountain is just a small project, and the original work of the wanted book is unknown, but it has achieved a North American box office of more than 100 million! ”

Whitesel said: "The company system, before becoming a quasi-superstar, there is no precedent for reducing the commission, once this head is opened, ......"

Thomas raised his voice slightly: "You're worried about the knock-on effect, aren't you worried about such an important customer being chilled?" ”

Ali raised his hand to stop the two from continuing, picked up his phone and called Jim Witt, another co-partner who was out of town.

He looked at Thomas: "The company's percentage of Martin's business has been reduced from 10% to 8%!" In addition, he enjoys quasi-giant level resource treatment in the company. ”

Thomas was basically satisfied: "I'll inform Martin." ”

Ali added: "If he needs to use the company's resources, notify the company in advance." ”

Thomas nodded: "No problem. ”

Whitesail didn't say anything more.

Ali has his own considerations, Martin can initiate and pull people platter, which is a very important ability, for WMA, it means that there can be many small stars or new actors to join it and get the opportunity to show their faces.

With a customer like Martin, how could he let someone poach him?

Ali added: "Martin has time to sign a new contract with the company one day, remember to inform me when the time comes, and I will have a good chat with him." ”

Thomas was instantly alert, and now he was guarding not only those outside the company, but also those inside the company.

I'm tired!
