Outside the studio, in Martin's resting trailer, Aniston gave a general overview of the situation there.

"This matter involves not only you, but also me." Martin is a responsible person: "Don't get too quarrelsome with CAA. The whole thing is put on me. Just tell them that I never agree!"

He hugged Aniston and stroked her back comfortingly: "Caa and I have nothing to do, it doesn't matter if we have a fight."

The little puppy's words warmed Aniston's heart. She shook her head: "It's okay..."

When her cell phone rang, she took it out to answer the call, her expression becoming more and more tense.

After a few minutes, Aniston directly cut off the call.

Martin asked: "What's wrong?"

"Brian Lord is CAA's largest partner." Aniston simply said: "He called me and told me that CAA had contacted several popular projects, and the female characters in them were very suitable for winning prizes. CAA was ready to make plans.

Help me win the Oscar for Best Actress."

Martin sensed that there was a problem, but couldn't explain it clearly. Aniston and Oscar were more difficult than Leonardo's epic.

The other party didn't say it clearly, but Aniston could see clearly: "Bryan wanted me to give the company a little thought about Heath Ledger."

Martin asked: "What did they think?"

"I signed the offline sharing agreement for Friends not only with the producers, but also with CAA. They can only get 1.5% of it as a financial commission." Aniston has a clear understanding of her situation:

"After Friends ended, my film career was not going well, and I still have an age that cannot be ignored, so I became a little yellow flower about to wither in CAA."

She sighed: "Maybe I overestimated my weight in CAA, or maybe CAA's senior partners regard themselves as the owners of celebrities. Michael Ovitz has expressed a similar view more than once."

Martin understood how sweet the honeymoon period between Aniston and CAA was, but how difficult it was to get along with each other every day after the passion subsided.

Aniston's annual offline income of 20 million, CAA can only extract more than 300,000...

"Jane, they are putting out bait." The words didn't sound nice, but he still reminded him directly: "Waiting for you to bite the hook, maybe there are other plans."

Brokerage companies often secretly defraud their clients.

"It's nothing." Aniston didn't seem to be joking: "In the worst case, I'll be fired from CAA."

There was a knock on the door, and Martin opened the door. Standing outside was Aniston's agent Steve.

The latter asked: "Brian Lord called you? Jane, if the company fully promotes it, you will be nominated for Best Actress..."

Aniston's face changed.

Steve immediately shut up and changed his words: "Nothing else, Jane, we have been working together for more than ten years, and you know that I am always on your side."

Martin took the initiative to step aside: "You guys chat."

When Steve got on the trailer, he closed the door from the outside.

Martin walked towards the deserted area, considered his current situation based on Aniston's words, and after a few minutes, he took out his mobile phone and called Thomas.

Soon, Thomas rushed over.

Martin asked: "How was the discussion?"

Thomas looked around and said, "Everything else is easy. Those bastards at CAA are difficult to deal with."

Martin was straightforward: "Don't be nagging them. Let Lawyer Ward go to the Brooklyn branch to keep an eye on the situation and put pressure on it. Let the crew release the news. I'm going to hold a press conference."

From its glory days in the 1990s, caa's business has declined in the new century. This is not only because other companies are catching up, but there are also internal problems.

It seems that Michael Ovitz's arrogance in his final career at CAA was transmitted to other partners.

The boom and bust seems to be a common problem for many companies.

Thomas nodded: "I'll make arrangements right away."

Martin suddenly asked: "Is WMA interested in Aniston?"

As soon as these words came out, Thomas was stunned for a moment and quickly came back to his senses: "Of course I'm interested!" His hands were shaking with excitement: "Can we dig Aniston over?"

Martin glanced at Thomas and seemed to be looking at the scumbag: "Do you want to be Aniston's agent?"

Thomas responded quickly: "That's not what I meant."

"Aniston started working with Steve when she was still a young actor, and their relationship was extraordinary." Martin carefully studied Aniston up and down, front and back, and learned a lot: "Aniston didn't

I thought about ending my cooperation with him."

At this time, Martin did not forget to use CPU: "If another agency comes to poach me, and the prerequisite is to kick you out, I will definitely spray him in the face and tell him to get as far away as possible!"

Thomas's heart was shaken, and he thought that I am already so important to Martin! I will never leave him!

He believed that someone like Martin could do it and said: "What do you want to do?"

Martin walked forward again: "The two of us cannot represent WMA, and the portion is not enough. I am going to call Ali Emmanuel and ask him to come over."

Thomas followed up: "I will cooperate with you." He suddenly remembered something: "Why are you so active?"

"At the end of this year, I want the company to devote more resources to fully support me, but I don't have enough positions..." Martin said a few words simply.

Thomas said: "They will definitely say yes."

Martin took out his mobile phone and dialed Ali Emmanuel's number.

Over there, Ali put down his cell phone and shouted to his assistant: "Contact the private jet company immediately. I want a business jet that can fly directly to New York within half an hour! Also, my itinerary is confidential!"

On this day, the Heath Ledger drug driving incident, which was originally reported by only one gossip media, was forwarded by many online media, and other media followed up.

"Brokeback Mountain" is a hit during the awards season, and the film has also attracted attention because of its homosexuality. Heath Ledger is very likely to be nominated for the Oscar for Best Actor, and it is already popular.

Of course the media would not let it go.

When work was done in the afternoon, Damian, the associate producer of the crew, approached Martin and director Boyle and said: "Something unexpected happened. We applied for filming in Central Park, but New York has temporarily postponed it due to weather and environmental protection."

Postponed."

Boyle frowned: "The shooting plan needs to be changed again? We changed it once because of heavy snow." He reminded: "In a while, the ice in Central Park will melt!"

Martin said: "Let Warner Brothers contact us and the crew will stop showing up."

Boyle looked at Martin and made a rough guess, but he was just the director of the crew and didn't want to get involved in unnecessary fights, so he didn't say anything else.

Damian said: "I called Daniel and Warner Bros. is in contact. Even if it can be resolved, the filming will be postponed."

Like the previous crew, Martin also named himself as the production manager and said: "The shooting plan will be changed again and we will continue to shoot indoor scenes in a studio setting."

Boyle nodded: "This is the only way."

Martin didn't want the director to get involved in bad things, but focused on filming the movie. When Boyle left, he asked: "Is there any trace of Weinstein behind this?"

Damian is Louise's subordinate and speaks without scruples: "I can't tell. It's hard for us to find out about this kind of thing. The Weinstein brothers worked hard in New York and have extensive connections."

As before, Martin took the same car as Aniston back to the hotel.

Aniston was not very happy: "Caa didn't dare to do anything to me, but put pressure on Steve. It turns out that in their eyes, I have begun to expire."

Martin said again: "Put it all on me and I'll deal with them."

Aniston reached out and touched Martin's face and said: "What happened to the two of us, how could I let you face it alone? If it weren't for you at that time, I might have been hit by a car."

Martin simply said directly: "In the trailer, you said you wanted to leave CAA?"

Aniston said: "When I became famous, I was at CAA. Over the years, I have been at CAA, but everything has changed since Friends ended."

"Maybe in the eyes of CAA's veteran agents, CAA made you famous." Martin also made a random guess: "I have never been an entertainment agent, and I don't know much about it, but many commercial companies do not pay much attention to employees who have grown up in their own company.

People who have worked hard to recruit from outside take it seriously."

Aniston smiled: "What, you want to poach me?"

Martin made her happy: "I've dug all the important places in you."

Aniston bit Martin's ear, leaving two rows of teeth marks, and then said: "I'll poach you tonight instead?"

Martin quickly changed the subject: "Ali Emmanuel is coming to New York to help me handle matters related to Heath Ledger. How about you meet with him?"

Aniston was in a better mood and said with a smile: "It turns out that the WMA wanted to poach me, but they were afraid that they couldn't poach me, so they sent you here to use the beauty trick."

Martin asked: "Did my beauty trap succeed?"

Aniston stopped laughing and thought carefully for a while: "I'll discuss it with Steve, and you talk to Ali first."

Martin nodded: "No problem."

This kind of thing can’t be rushed.

Back at the hotel, the two had dinner together and talked about CAA and WMA. Aniston called her agent Steve to talk about the future together.

Martin received a call from Thomas and Ali Emmanuel had arrived.

In a business suite of the hotel, Martin met with WMA's leading brokers and co-partners.

Seeing Martin, Ali eagerly came up to him and said, "I understand the difficulties the crew encountered. Don't worry, I have contacted the staff to deal with it."

Martin heard Thomas say that Ali's brother is very powerful in politics and is currently a member of the Black Carbon team of the Democratic Party preparing to participate in the next election.

"Whenever we encounter difficulties, having WMA as our support always makes people feel at ease." Martin sat on the single sofa and said, "Ali, I felt relieved as soon as I saw you."

Ali smiled: "It's a matter within the company." He got to the point: "Are you sure Aniston intends to leave CAA?"
