Genius one second to remember, to provide you with wonderful novel reading.


    Ask for a monthly ticket!


    In a luxurious reception room on the top floor of the Death Star Building in Century City, Murphy sits behind a long conference table, turns to the last page of the contract, and after Robert, the lawyer next to him, points to the place where he needs to sign, swipes his pen and signs his name on it.


    After signing the contract in duplicate, Murphy exchanged contracts with Bill rosis and Brian Lauder, who represent CAA.


    I''ve been waiting here for a long time to take photos. Press the shutter of the camera to record this moment.


    "I''m very happy that we can renew this brokerage contract." Brian Lloyd, who is in charge of the film business, smiles. "CAA welcomes young talents like you!"


    Murphy shook hands with him and said, "it''s my pleasure to join CAA."


    There''s no harm in saying nice things on such occasions.


    The photographer was invited out, and Robert left, leaving only Brian Lauder, Bill rosis, and three other agents in the drawing room.


    Bill rosis took the initiative to make an introduction.


    "This is grace collind, responsible for media communication and your daily life services."


    "This is Gaby Ramos, in charge of your literary creation."


    "This is ringard waterwood, in charge of special opportunities."


    Murphy shakes hands with three people and nods his head gently. They are the agents selected by CAA according to bill rosis''s opinions. He doesn''t know whether they need to be replaced in the future, but also the test of time and work.


    The brokerage contract signed by both parties mentioned this point. Murphy will not hesitate when it is necessary to exercise this right.


    Brad Lloyd is an important partner of CAA. He has a lot of work to do. He appeared at the signing ceremony to show that he attaches importance to Murphy, a new director who is rapidly rising. Now the work has been completed and the gesture is in place. After a few words, he left.


    The other three also have their own work to do. In addition to grace, who is in charge of media public relations and daily life, the other two also walk out of the meeting room one after another.


    "Murphy," Grice said, already at work, "is there anything I need to do recently?"


    "Yes." Now that he has signed a new brokerage contract, Murphy is not polite either. "I need an independent house."


    In the past, living in Stanton studio was limited by the economic conditions. Now the economic situation has improved, and there is Kerry Mulligan. It is certainly inconvenient to continue to live there.


    Grace immediately took out his pen and book. "Do you have any specific requirements?"


    Murphy thought, "it''s better to be in Santa Monica, not too far from Stanton studio, valley or beach."


    He pondered for a moment, "it doesn''t need to be too big. Let''s rent it."


    After the last $2 million share was received, besides Rose''s $300000 bail, he also paid bill Rossi and other members of the cast who had not yet settled the payment. The remaining money is not much, and the next share will have to wait for some time.


    Before going to Australia for a holiday, rose asked someone to take a message. His account was still watched by the police. After the thaw, he would be given the money back. Murphy refused.


    Despite bill Rossi''s dissuasion and help Ross, Murphy is not stupid and knows not to have too much contact with Ross economically.


    "I''ll follow up on it." Grace put away his notebook and said, "I''ll get in touch with you if I have the right one."


    She stood up. "If there''s nothing else, I''ll leave first."


    "Goodbye." Murphy stood up and shook her hand, politely watching her leave.


    There was no one else in the drawing room, and Murphy felt relaxed. She turned the conference table and sofa chair, walked to the bright French window, and looked out. It was located in Beverly Hills, the top floor of the Death Star building, overlooking the whole of Los Angeles.


    "CAA chose this building," Murphy said to bill rossis in the back. "It''s something else, isn''t it?"


    Bill rosis came up, shook his head and said, "I don''t know."


    "This is the Death Star building! "Murphy guessed," with the office building named after the invincible death star in Star Wars, CAA has bought the highest eight floors. Isn''t it to stand at the top of the circle with an invincible posture? "


    Bill rosis laughed. "It''s about the person who offered to buy the building."


    Murphy changed the subject. "Shall we go to your office?"


    "Let''s go." Bill rosis leads the way from the safe passage to the next floor, to the far left, and opens the door of an office.


    This office is not big. The decoration can only be said to be ordinary. Murphy just looked at it and sat opposite the desk. She has an independent office or is on the upper floor. This is the symbol of her status in CAA.


    In the publicity to the outside world, CAA claims that all its brokers are partners. Of course, that is to say, today''s CAA is not the CAA when Michael owitz was founded. It is indeed a partnership system, but the one with the most shares is no longer the internal broker of CAA.Just like most entrepreneurs in the development will encounter financial difficulties and accept foreign investment, CAA also has foreign investors. TPG, one of the world''s largest private equity institutions, is the largest shareholder of CAA, holding up to 53% of CAA shares!


    Other shares are distributed among the partners in CAA.


    These partners constitute the management and superstructure of CAA, and they are also the top brokers in the company. Other brokers want to squeeze into this circle, and the conditions are not complicated. As long as they have super heavyweight customers in their hands, such as Tom Cruise''s agent Pai Kingsley, they are very likely to become partners of CAA.


    In other words, the quality of customers directly determines the position of a broker in the industry.


    So, what Bill rosis is most concerned about now is Murphy''s new plan. A director ultimately depends on his works.


    "Godin Clyde of Fox Searchlight called me a few times." He sat across from Murphy and said, "I want to make sure that the sequel to the chainsaw starts."


    "The sequel to the power saw?" Murphy didn''t remember mentioning the sequel.


    Bill rosis asked strangely, "isn''t your new movie a sequel to the chainsaw?"


    Murphy shook his head. "No."


    Bill rosis wanted to speak again. Murphy raised his hand to stop him and said, "there is a sequel to this series. A lot of stories and characters are not explained, but it''s not right now."


    "Don''t forget, the impact of 9 / 11 will continue for a long time," he cautioned


    Although the public is gradually recovering, such films will still be affected by the aftereffects. It is better to start the sequel plan next year.


    "9 / 11" is a relatively easy time for the entertainment industry in the past, and the movie industry needs to be in a more relaxed position than the entertainment industry in any recent period, The chance of hitting the street will multiply.


    It''s not that there is no market for movies like "electric saw", but that the market situation is not clear in a short time.


    Murphy would never know that there was a wall in front of him, and he would bump into it.


    One of the best choices for the next step is superhero movies. The occurrence of 9 / 11 has increased the public''s demand for omnipotent superheroes, and the films of personal heroism will have more market.


    The other is a typical American made film with a relaxed atmosphere.


    As we all know, the film and television market in North America is basically an insulator. North American audiences have never been very interested in non North American productions. After this incident, the market will be more closed. It will be more difficult for foreign products to succeed. Producers and consumers in the entertainment industry will prefer "made in America".


    In the past, some European films that were popular all over the world were given a cold reception in North America, and this situation will become more serious in the future.


    Murphy had thought it over before.


    He doesn''t reject pure market and popcorn superhero movies. The problem is that no one will ask him to make this kind of movie. Even if he has this idea, the copyright is also a big problem.


    With the release of "war police", marvel realized the power of its superheroes. In addition to the ones authorized, marvel began to cherish itself. It was easy not to authorize others. Now, the most famous superheroes can be moved to the big screen. The producers invited the first-line or quasi first-line directors.


    He is far from that standard.


    The so-called traditional American film making is his best choice.


    Because the styles of the first two films are similar, he has accumulated enough experience in black films, which is also the choice of new projects. Murphy knows very well that even now, his ability can not be said to be outstanding, and choosing the most familiar type can reduce the probability of failure.


    The problem is that most of the black films are cruel, contrary to the current social situation.


    Therefore, he intends to add comedy and absurdity to the new project to avoid the audience''s aversion to the film because it is too bloody.


    Murphy said these ideas to bill rosis, but the agent frowned, "Fox Searchlight is determined to continue the sequel of the electric saw, I''m afraid it''s difficult to pass such a project."


    "Find another company." Murphy would never hang from a tree. "We just signed a new brokerage contract. CAA won''t kick me away so soon, will it?"


    Bill rossis immediately came to the spirit, "are you going to leave the new project entirely to the company?"


    Murphy said strangely, "isn''t that the best way to save time and effort?"


    "You''re not going to continue to invest in your own films?" Asked Bill rosis.


    Murphy shook his head and said, "I have no money." (to be continued). ）For mobile users, please visit m.wenxue6.com for better reading experience.
