Chapter 69: Michael Ovitz's Decision

Location: The dormitory assigned to Sam Remy at Sony Columbia.

In fact, this is more of a small villa than a dormitory.

Cao Yu came to visit, and Sam Remi happened to be at home, so the two of them went to the yard behind the dormitory to drink tea and chat to relieve the impatience of the past ten days.

There is no way not to be impetuous. Cao Yu doesn't know about Sam Remy's situation.

But Cao Yu's own state was really a bit impetuous.

Not to mention the eldest brother Cheng Long, Kung Fu Emperor Liaison and the director of "Death is Coming" Huang Yiyu, and other people who have some cooperative relations with Cao Yu, called specifically to congratulate Cao Yu, which made Cao Yu feel complacent.

These are the small reasons that make Cao Yu complacent. The big reason is that various film and television companies are like crazy, frantically offering film contracts to Cao Yu, including olive branches from the other six major Hollywood companies.

And since Cao Yu does not have a management company, Cao Yu directly faces these olive branches and sugar-coated bullets.

Cao Yu really heard the compliments in no less than a hundred ways.

After experiencing all this, Cao Yu finally understood why celebrities are so easily distracted.

This feeling of having a smile on your face in the whole world is really like poison, making you unable to stop thinking about it!

In other words, Cao Yu knew that being down-to-earth is the key to his life, and he had better self-control in the face of such emergencies, otherwise he would have been in trouble long ago.

I have never experienced this kind of situation before, and I find it a bit unreasonable for celebrities to do some weird and weird things after becoming famous.

But now that Cao Yu has experienced it himself, he really understands why this happens. It's not that these celebrities are brainless, but the surrounding environment is really weird.

"I finally understand why those celebrities cease to be human beings after they become famous." Cao Yu sat opposite Sam Remy and drank from his cup.

"If you can say that, I feel relieved. It means that your brain is still very bright."

Sam Remy curled his lips and continued, "What are your plans next?"

"Nothing planned."

Cao Yu sighed first, and then noticed that Sam Remy had an expression that said, "I'm going to get mad if you don't say anything." Cao Yu shrugged, knowing that he had to say it.

"Tell me, maybe I can help you." Sam Raimi asked first.

Cao Yu raised his head and looked beyond the courtyard wall to the end of the horizon, "What other plans can I have? I'm not a magician. I can plan the future, but I'm just drifting with the tide.

Let’s get the agency in order first! Then [Spider-Man] will almost be released in China, Japan and South Korea, and I have to go there to promote it.

As for the next things, let’s wait until I finish all these things and then think about it. It’s just filming, so what other plans can I have?”

What Cao Yu said was very pragmatic.

"Right."

After listening to this, Sam Remy knew that Cao Yu's words were very pragmatic and nodded, "Which agency are you going to sign with?"

"CAA." Cao Yu's answer was very straightforward.

Sam Raimi thought for a while, then nodded and said: "It's a good choice. This company is very good at fighting for the interests of their agents, and this company has been working on a new Hollywood account sharing model recently, which is quite dynamic."

Not only is it very dynamic, this new account sharing model will be the standard for future Hollywood superstars!

But Cao Yu just muttered this in his heart.



Cao Yu and director Sam Raimi were chatting in the yard, and everything seemed peaceful, but Spider-Man did not stop conquering the city in the global movie theater.

However, "Spider-Man" has been released for three weeks, and although it is still very popular, it is mostly riding on the limelight of the first two weeks.

It’s not nonsense, the data speaks for itself. The cold data is closer to the real truth than anyone else’s truth.

Although the drop of "Spider-Man" in the third week was still unbelievable and continued to maintain a 30% drop rate, the 30% box office drop still caused the North American weekly box office of "Spider-Man" to drop.

To 73 million.

We have lost the magnanimity of using the level of 100 million as a unit of measurement.

However, "Spider-Man" is still invincible in the North American movie market and continues to stay firmly at the top of the weekly box office. There is still no film in the North American movie market that can knock it down from above.

Therefore, [Spider-Man] has won the North American weekly box office title for three consecutive times, and there is a great chance that it will even take the top spot for the fourth consecutive time.

However, although "Spider-Man" performed strongly at the box office in North America, "Spider-Man" still began to weaken at the global box office in its third week.

In other words, it has returned to normal levels. The box office dropped by 50%, achieving a halving achievement.

However, although this drop is not good-looking, [Spider-Man]’s accumulation in the previous two weeks is really huge. With the price cut in half, [Spider-Man] once again collected 190 million.

At this point, the global cumulative box office of "Spider-Man" has reached a new level, just crossing the 900 million mark.

900 million!

Still in U.S. dollars.

This is a number that makes all film and television practitioners around the world feel a little desperate when they see it. Even many well-known directors in Hollywood feel a sense of despair after seeing this number.

And they also know that since [Spider-Man] can climb to this position in three weeks, then for [Spider-Man], one billion is not a big problem, it is just a matter of time.

Even... many directors, producers, actors, etc. have an idea in their minds.

It seems that the 'dinosaur' is no longer this spider. Isn't this Spider-Man heading towards the big iron ship?

Not many people have this idea. After all, the 1.8 billion goal of [Titanic] is really too exaggerated.

But [Spider-Man]’s current global revenue of 900 million US dollars has already gained a lot of weight in the hearts of many people.

No, Michael Ovitz, the founder of CAA-Innovative Elite Cultural Economy Co., Ltd., saw that the results of "Spider-Man" were so explosive, and Cao Yu's performance in "Spider-Man" was very good in his opinion.

Demonic nature.

Michael Ovitz suddenly remembered that a while ago, Cheng Long, one of the artists signed by the company, seemed to have this name on a recommendation list.

Thinking of this, Michael Ovitz picked up the phone at work and called his secretary.

"Check the information about Cao Yu, the protagonist of Spider-Man, I want to see it."

Half an hour later.

A stack of slightly heavy documents was placed on Michael Ovitz's desk. When Michael Ovitz picked it up, he could still feel the residual warmth of the paper because it had just been printed.

"Chinese people, in 1985, if you calculate it like this, you are only seventeen years old!"

"Oh! I'm still a student at King's College London, UK. My tutor is Roman, a famous figure in the British film and television industry. I have some foundation!"

"That's right, if you go to Hollywood, a place where predators are rampant, without any foundation, you will probably be swallowed up."

While looking at the information, Michael Ovitz was mumbling something, and the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter.

This is a golden mountain that has not yet been excavated!

After reading Cao Yu's information, Michael Ovitz sighed like this in his heart.

After sighing, Michael Ovitz's eyes gradually became firmer, and he became more certain about signing Cao Yu to CAA.

Michael Ovitz believes in his own vision very much, not blindly, because it is under the leadership of his unique vision that CAA has reached this point. The current achievements of CAA are the foundation of his confidence in his own vision.

Now after reading Cao Yu's information, Michael Ovitz is very optimistic about Cao Yu's future.

Michael Ovitz pondered for a while, then picked up the work phone again and called his secretary, "Send a message to all the top agents in the company and tell them that the company has an emergency meeting and ask them all to
