After dinner, Mike Cock said goodbye and left. Bai Quinn went to Samantha's house and spent hundreds of millions to thank her. She returned to the public housing very late.

The next day, when I went to Randy's house to get the car keys, I found that no one had touched the money on the table, which meant that Randy had not returned overnight.

No one answered the phone, so Bai Quinn, who was in a hurry to sign the contract with CAA, had to take the car keys first and leave.

When he arrived at the CAA's office building, Randy met the lawyer introduced by Samantha in the agreed cafe.

It was a middle-aged white man with a round face, wearing round glasses, and was quite tall. He was sitting in the corner of the cafe with an old-fashioned black business bag. His butt was only hanging on the sofa. His body was not leaning against the back of the chair, but was straight and sitting like a rigorous soldier.

"Mr. Quinn White? I am Jerry Espenson, a junior lawyer at YFB Law Firm..."

The name is wrong and the voice is wrong. The most important thing is that there is no playboy temperament...

Bai Quinn recalled yesterday that Samantha called her lawyer friend, who clearly called the other party "Alan", and the frivolous guy wanted to meet Samantha, but was easily rejected by the experienced Samantha.

"I remember Miss Samantha Jones talking to me about Mr. Allen..."

The lawyer who claimed to be Jerry took out two business cards from his bag, handed them to Bai Quinn, put the bag next to his feet, pressed his hands on his knees, and sat more straight, saying in the serious tone of the court defense: "Standle Alan Xiao is a partner of this law firm, I am his subordinate, this is our business card. You can call YFB law firm to verify, or go to our headquarters on Third Avenue in person to search.

In addition, we believe that the legal affairs agency invitation sent by Miss Samantha Jones on your behalf last night was an invitation from YFB law firm. YFB can send appropriate lawyers according to the actual needs of the project.

If you have doubts about my professionalism, I can leave immediately…”

Bai Quinn figured it out that Allen, a partner of the law firm, did not accept such a small case, so he sent a junior lawyer.

In fact, for this kind of brokerage contract, Bai Quinn, who was represented, was just a newcomer who had just entered the industry, and did not involve complex issues such as endorsement, equity, copyright, patent authorization, and portrait use. A newcomer who just obtained the qualification to practice can be competent. It is enough for the other company to send an Associate (junior lawyer).

At Jerry's age, if he started working in law as soon as he graduated from law school, if he had more than ten years of experience and could not become a partner, he would at least be a Senior Attorney (a senior lawyer) who led the team.

Maybe Jerry entered the industry late, so he is still a soldier now.

Allen promised to give Samantha a friendly price to the customer introduced. It turns out that the reason for the cheapness is here.

In any case, Bai Quinn has no capital to be picky for the time being. As long as the lawyer can use it, he needs to sign a contract with CAA as soon as possible.

Seeing that Bai Quinn approved it, Jerry Espenson took out a bunch of documents from his bag, "This is a legal agency authorization letter... Please read carefully the scope, category and validity period involved. By the way, Mr. Bai, can you please show your ID and your driver's license? I want to confirm whether you are an adult..."

The documents are fine, Bai Quinn signed.

The reserved junior lawyer became his attorney and would be responsible for discovering possible legal risks for him in the subsequent negotiations with CAA's brokerage contract and giving corresponding suggestions.

The two arrived at the CAA. The front desk lady said that Mike Coke had something to do and had already gone to Los Angeles. However, before leaving, she specially arranged a senior agent to be Bai Quinn's joint agent.

Joint brokers are the invention of CAA. On the one hand, it avoids senior brokers from being unable to take care of them because they have too many clients. On the other hand, it also avoids taking away clients when they change jobs.

The co-agent who received Bai Quinn was named Marlena Damatto, a Latino woman in her thirties, and her career suit was difficult to cover up her bulging pregnant belly.

"Sorry, I need to lean on it, you don't mind, Mr. Bai." Malianna leaned against the back of the chair. This almost lying position could stretch her pregnant abdomen. In order not to slide off the chair, her long legs had to be stretched as support.

With long black stockings, White Quinn glanced quietly, while Jerry Espenson sat straight and looked straight.

Bai Quinn looked at the contract and there was no problem, the same thing as what he agreed verbally with Mike Cock yesterday.

CAA is only responsible for introducing actors' work and other tasks that help improve the career development of actors. For the wrestling profession that Bai Quinn has already started, CAA will not intervene or provide relevant resources.

10% income sharing, three-year validity period, priority renewal under the same conditions.

No omission was found, Bai Quinn handed over the contract to Jerry for review, and started chatting with Malianna himself.

The topic of both sides went straight to the point, and Mike Coke went to Los Angeles to see if the plan to cover the public relations "vogue" that he had promised before will be implemented.

Once I asked, I found out that Malianna was the actual person in charge, and even the idea of ​​pushing Bai Quinn on the cover was also proposed, which strengthened Mike Coke's determination to sign Bai Quinn.

Bai Quinn had to admire the relationship network and execution of these agents. From Samantha mentioned Bai Quinn to Mike, and when the two sides met for dinner, in just two hours, CAA not only completed Bai Quinn's background investigation, but also evaluated his future commercial value, but also provided an advance promotion plan.

The variables encountered should be Bai Quinn's "whimsical" multi-purpose development route, but it was wiped out by Mike on the spot.

"I will find an opportunity to arrange for you to meet Anna Wintour next week. Before that, I will also arrange a professional team to repackage you to make you more in line with Anna's aesthetics and highlight your strengths."

Malianna, a pregnant woman who was half lying on a chair, worked as a model in the 1980s. After getting married, she transformed into an agent. She was also an agent of several models and had a wide connection in the fashion industry.

"You are not qualified to be on the cover independently. Even if you are favored by Anna, what we have to do is to package you and another female model, and the two of them have a greater chance of winning together. And it must be the next January issue of 1996. If it is too late, other clever guys will discover the changes in Anna's aesthetics and recommend male models of the same style as you to seize your ecological niche."

The word niche...is simply describes the wild jungle where the winner lives.

Looking at the skyline outlined by steel and concrete outside the window, I didn't know where I was.

Without leaving time for Bai Quinn to sigh, the professional Jerry pointed out the problem with several terms in the contract.

Of course, there was a CAA lawyer dealing with Jerry. The two sides were verbally quarreled and the contract was changed. Jerry nodded after reading it, and Bai Quinn signed it just now.

One was handed over to Jerry to get the YFB firm for filing, and the other two were held by each party.

When the contract was signed, Bai Quinn immediately proposed to ask Ma Lianna to help him find a way to solve the qualifications of the actor union.

After explaining the whole story, Ma Lianna learned that Bai Quinn was still operating a small-budget movie.

"Mr. Bai, have the characters in your movie been confirmed? I wonder if we can consider our CAA customers?" Malianna keenly discovered the opportunity.

"The characters have not been confirmed yet, but our shooting budget is not high. Will your customers look down on it..."

Malianna smiled and said, "CAA has more than a thousand partners, and each partner has many clients. The level of clients is high and low, with big stars like Tom Cruise, and amateur performance enthusiasts who work part-time in community theaters.

It is precisely because we have so many customers that the so-called package service has been generated. We can find all the talents needed to shoot a movie for the producer, from director photography to lighting makeup, from male and female protagonists to casual people, including all the human resources needed for shooting.

Mr. Bai, you just said that this movie was written and starred by you. I believe it has a great influence on the producer. Can you persuade the producer to hand over all the roles and production positions required for this movie to us CAA?”

Bai Quinn couldn't agree directly to such a thing, and agreed to help Malianna ask for it. She asked Malianna's email address and was about to go back and send her the role requirements first to see if she could recommend some suitable actors to audition.

The matter was settled, and Jerry left with his old-fashioned leather bag and a service fee of 500 yuan. Bai Quinn called and learned that Sayed was at home, so he went to Sayed's apartment. In addition to telling Sayed that their script would be made into a movie, he also took advantage of the Internet.

...

Sarah, a young actor living in the Upper East Side of New York, recently lost a role, directed by Bazluchmann. "Romeo and Juliet", which is estimated to be more than 10 million, is not a costume version of Shakespeare's drama, but a youth romance film adapted into a modern background!

Sarah has entered the final round of the heroine competition, but she lost to a younger girl in the end.

Claire Denise, another New York girl, is said to be only 16 years old this year!

Sarah doesn't think she lost to her in appearance and performance. Both of them are child stars and have also appeared in TV series for a long time. If the two stand together, Sarah believes that most people will think that the 18-year-old self looks younger and more girlish.

But if you lose, you lose, and you can only continue to work hard from the whole game.

The agent suggested that she move to Los Angeles, and if she wants to become famous, there are more opportunities in Hollywood.

Sarah said she would think about it carefully, at least spend this Christmas at home in New York first.

That day, Sarah came back from running and her mother told her that her agent was looking for her, and it seemed that a new character invited her to audition.

After contacting the agent, Sarah decided to go to the audition.

According to the agent, it was just a heroine in a small-budget movie, playing a young and beautiful female robber. There were some action scenes, and the salary was 6,000 yuan. Although it was not high, the advantage was that the shooting cycle was short and could be completed in only six days, which was very consistent with Sarah's requirements.

Moreover, the agent said that the other party was very satisfied after reading Sarah's resume and went directly to the final stage of audition.

Not long ago, Sarah told her agent that she needed to earn some money to use it as a backup to move to Hollywood.

Although Sarah, a child star, has been performing on the screen since she was a child, she was still a child at the time and actually received a low salary, and she didn't even earn much as she did in a TV commercial, and she also gave all the money to her mother to supplement her family.

If she got that role this time, plus her previous savings, it would be at least enough for her to stay in Hollywood for half a year.

The audition was in Jersey, and Sarah had to take the bus to cross the river and travel to her destination.

A small red building near the river, with the door sign saying: "Wademark Image".

It's here.

The front desk was a pretty Italian girl who clumsily found Sarah's information from a bunch of documents and then took her to the second floor to wait for the audition.

After a while, the door of the audition room opened, and the person who came out looked familiar with him. It took a long time to remember that this black uncle played a supporting role in the TV series "The Fresh Prince's Wonderful Things".

He sent away the fat staff wearing a photography vest and greeted Sarah in.

When he entered the door and sat on the sofa, Sarah found that except for the middle-aged fat man wearing a photography vest just now, the other two men who participated in the audition were very young.

The young man with greased hair sat in the middle and said first: "Welcome to audition, Miss Sarah Michelle Gellar."

Sarah smiled and nodded in response.

The greasy young man continued: "I am Christopher Moriarty, the producer of "Bonnie and Freck."

"It's great to know you Mr. Moriarty."

After chatting for a few seconds, both parties also let go a little. At this time, the tall handsome guy who had been sitting aside without saying a word suddenly spoke: "Miss Gaila, we know that you have played the role of a girl in "Swan Ferry" and "My Children". In this film, you will play a woman who robbed the bank to treat your lover. This should be your first emotional scene on the screen. I wonder if you can play a role like a lover in love well?"

Sarah had long expected that she would be a little nervous if she answered such questions before the audition of "Romeo and Juliet". After all, she did not have such experience. Even if she used a method to force herself, she would have suffered from having no experience in love and not knowing how to get involved.

But in order to win the role of Juliet, Sarah's agent specially hired Broadway drama actors to train her to deal with her emotional relationship with the characters in love, which is just right now.

"I can, I have done special training."

The middle-aged man wearing a photography vest said, "Then let's try a show. QB, can you play with Miss Galla?"

The handsome guy called QB nodded in agreement.

The middle-aged man wearing a vest handed over a stack of documents, "This is the heroine's line script, Miss Gella, please turn to page 6, Act 12, I will tell you about the play.

You are the heroine Bonnie, and QB is the hero Freke. You met two years ago, fell in love, lived together, and you two fell in love very much.

Freck's job is the bar resident. He goes to work every night. You are an unsuccessful novelist and often goes to your boyfriend's bar to work with him.

Recently you received an appointment from a magazine. You are very busy with work and cannot be with your boyfriend often, and even make him feel neglected.

Then, suddenly, one day, Freke did not return overnight and did not answer the phone. He did not return home until late in the afternoon, looking a little down.

These are the background, do you understand?

Then we enter Act 12, you read the script first, and when we start auditioning, I will shoot with a 16mm handheld camera. These two lines are my camera positioning. You don’t have to worry about my camera, and act completely according to your ideas."

Sarah didn't expect that this audition would be directly opposite the male lead. The male lead looked similar to her age, so why should he interview her audition?

Humph, I was pretending to be very serious just now. Can I play the lover in love well? Bah, I want to see what you can play!

So Sarah asked deliberately: "Can you act exactly according to my ideas, right? Do you need me to communicate with this gentleman in advance? What if he can't take it..."

The middle-aged man wearing a photography vest couldn't answer, but instead asked QB for his opinion with his eyes.
Chapter completed!
