Chapter 167 Broker

"No, you have to do this..."

"Crack!"

Wang Yaocheng pushed the door open, and the door slammed into the wall, making a loud sound.

Agent Charlie looked over in surprise and saw Wang Yaocheng walking in with a gloomy face. He knew the opportunity and kept silent, subconsciously taking two steps away.

"What must be done?" Wang Yaocheng sat down and asked with an unkind expression; "Since I'm here, I'll listen and see how you plan to arrange Julia."

Julia Roberts, who was sitting on the sofa, meekly leaned over and nestled her body in Wang Yaocheng's arms. Wang Yaocheng opened his arms and put his arms around Xiang's shoulders, and smelled a refreshing fragrance on the tip of his nose.

Faced with the aggressive billionaire boss, agent Charlie is under great psychological pressure, and Qiqian Aai, who has just become more eloquent;

"I'm sorry! King Boss, just now... oh, I may be a little anxious, um... um, maybe we can... find a solution that is acceptable to everyone."

"Mr. Charlie is referring to you and me?"

"Exactly."

"Are you worthy?"

Faced with Wang Yaocheng's blunt question, agent Charlie was choked and speechless.

This sentence is correct; are you worthy?

Although Charlie is CAA's gold medal manager, such a small role is really not qualified to reach any agreement with the boss king.

Julia held Wang Yaocheng's arm and said angrily, "Charlie keeps asking me to leave you, describing you as a hateful Chinese boy who just wants to take advantage of me. I feel very conflicted, Wang, should I really give up?"

"

"Of course not."

Wang Yaocheng patted the beauty on the shoulder and comforted her; "There is no need to waste words with Charlie. I think I should call Michael Ovitz. He should know what to choose."

Charlie's expression changed suddenly. He was so frightened when he saw Wang Yaocheng picking up the phone and calling his boss that he would lose his job.

Once you leave the brokerage field that you have worked hard for for more than ten years, you will be nothing.

"Sir, you don't have to do this. We can solve this problem."

"Oh Maiga, please put down the phone and we can talk. We can talk about anything. I promise you will be satisfied."

"No... please, please don't get through."

Wang Yaocheng waved his hand like a fly. It was too late to say anything at this time. Can the water cover be taken back?

Two bodyguards came up and politely stopped the hesitant manager Charlie and isolated him.

"Hello...ma'am, please transfer me to Mr. Michael Ovitz. I am the boss, the chairman of Red Hat. You may have heard of me. Okay...I'll be waiting."

Soon, the call was connected;

"I'm Michael Ovitz. I heard that the genius boss of Silicon Valley called me. I feel very honored. I don't know if there is anything I can do for you. Please tell me..." Michael Ovitz, the boss of CAA, was on the other end of the phone.

Very enthusiastic.

"I'm glad to speak with you. This is the case. Julia Roberts is my friend. Her agent Charlie interferes too much in her private life. Charlie is a racist and makes discriminatory remarks against Chinese people. I deeply feel about this."

Feeling worried." Wang Yaocheng didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

The other party understands instantly and pauses for a moment to respond;

"Oh... I'm sorry, this is a mistake in our work. This Charlie deserves to die! I will immediately let him return to the company and arrange for another group of reliable personnel and Miss Julia to take over all of Charlie's work. I will personally handle this matter

, you will definitely be satisfied.”

"Thanks!"

Michael Ovitz paused and continued to ask, "Well, Boss King, I heard news that you intend to buy New Line Cinema. Can I ask if this news is true?"

"If the price is right, why not."

"Understood, we will definitely send elite soldiers and generals to serve Miss Julia wholeheartedly. We look forward to the opportunity to meet you."

"must."

Putting down the phone, Wang Yaocheng said to Charlie, the top manager who was slumped on the ground, "Are you going to go out on your own, or should I ask someone to throw you out?"

"Fa Keyou, you ruined me."

Charlie suddenly yelled like crazy and waved his arms nervously, as if trying to grab some life-saving straw.

Wang Yaocheng; "Throw him out, idiot!"

With an order, the two bodyguards threw Charlie out of the room like a little chicken. They watched him leave in despair with a sarcastic look on his lips.

Anyone with any sense knows that in a business society where money is paramount, never go against a billionaire. He can find a hundred ways to make your life worse than death.

The Creative Artist Agency (CAA) where Charlie works has more than 150 agents and is one of the top agencies in Hollywood, with annual profits of approximately tens of millions of dollars.

Michael Ovitz, the owner of CAA, is a billionaire, and more of his asset appreciation does not come from the brokerage business.

Instead, we use first-hand information that is far beyond ordinary people, movie scripts with promising investment prospects, best-selling pop music albums, cutting-edge international fashion products and even Silicon Valley start-up companies, etc.

The question before Michael Ovitz was a multiple choice question.

In order to keep one of his golden agents, he offended the upstart boss of Silicon Valley. How stupid would he be to do that?

The boss king is very likely to become the boss of New Line Cinema, and the contracted artists, directors, and many cast and crew members of CAA will have to start working accordingly. Anyone can take this multiple-choice question.

Even without these, it is worthwhile to exchange the career of one of his agents for the favor of Silicon Valley's popular boss.

In the world of Hollywood, film company owners and big financiers are the highest class, and famous directors and producers are the next class. Together they form the upper structure of Hollywood and have the right to decide the fate of many actors and actresses, including stars.

.

The famous producer's red sofa is a well-known secret among people in the industry.

This is a tradition in Hollywood. The largest casting call in American history was during the filming of "Gone with the Wind". The actresses at that time went crazy for the role. Some of them stripped naked and hid in wooden boxes and mailed them.

When you go to a producer's home, you'll find all kinds of surprising and exciting information.

Being able to prosper in the intricate Hollywood vanity fair, Michael Ovitz, in addition to his all-round tactics, is also unusually cold-blooded and tough.

Since you are going to give a favor, you should simply make the favor real.

The cold-blooded Charlie of the boss knew very well that he knew that he could no longer survive in Hollywood and everything was over.

New Line Cinema is a listed company. In addition to the eight major Hollywood film companies in the first camp, New Line should be the leader in the second camp.

Although it is not outstanding in terms of excellent film production, New Line Film Company is better than other second-tier film companies in terms of channel distribution and construction.

This is what Wang Yaocheng values.

"Dear Wang, is it a little too harsh to treat Charlie like this? After all, he has served me for several years, so there is no need to go too far."

The woman finally relented. Julia Roberts raised her face and couldn't help but plead.

Wang Yaocheng said; "Julia, we just let Charlie leave, there is no need to feel guilty about this. You have always complained that Charlie meddles too much in your personal affairs, is overbearing, and often forces you to attend various brand conferences and shows.

and announcement, just take this opportunity to get rid of him completely."

"Oh my God! I fired my own agent after only one week of knowing you. This is crazy."

"Similarly, you feel relaxed... don't you?"

"uh-huh!"

"That's good, Julia, the role of an agent is to help you deal with things you can't balance, not to replace or force you to make decisions. Charlie violated the rules of the game.

Powerful agents, backed by big-name agencies, often ignore the development of artists and force them to accept more brand endorsements, announcements, and various shows.

Although this short-sighted approach can make a lot of money, it over-consumes the artist's potential and is like a blood-sucking leech attached to the artist.

This is what Charlie did. We cannot let Charlie do whatever he wants. I believe that after this incident, CAA will send a more reliable management team to take care of your acting career."

After listening to Wang Yaocheng's analysis, Julia Roberts recognized it from the bottom of her heart. She lay quietly in Wang Yaocheng's arms, as if she could hear the strong beating of his healthy and energetic heart.

Enjoying the feeling of being protected, Julia Roberts murmured; "I just like how domineering you are."

"Do you feel any excitement?"

"Well, a little bit."

"That's great! It'll be a wonderful vacation. I bet you'll love it."

After a while

Hotel backyard parking lot

Julia Roberts looked at the cool and powerful trailer in front of her with surprise. This was a large Scania fully trailered RV. The color was mainly black, supplemented by cool red flames.

Create a futuristic flame chariot.

The long black and red carriage has separate expansions on both sides, and there is also a large expansion on the roof that runs through the front and rear. When the electric button is activated, the roof will slowly lift up and turn into a spacious upstairs viewing platform.

The luxury RV is divided into upper and lower floors, with three extensions all controlled by electric hydraulics.

The entire vehicle has a living area of ​​over 100 square meters, with one large bedroom, one small bedroom, two bathrooms and a huge living room.

Such a top-notch customized luxury car costs up to one million U.S. dollars. Not everyone, even Hollywood's top male stars, can own it.

Only popular stars such as Mel Gibson and Arnold Schwarzenegger have enough financial strength to enjoy such top-notch RVs.

Others, such as:

Michael Jackson, the king of the American pop music industry, owns one, and Mariah Carey, the top black female singer, also owns one. This is almost a symbol of the first-tier superstar status.

When the 28-foot-long giant RV drives into the filming location, the shock and envy it brings are enough to make people get lost and look at it with admiration.

For first-line movie stars who often have to travel to foreign studios, a giant luxury RV brings an invisible aura and top-notch enjoyment. It is like a mobile villa, which is very conducive to work.

During the filming of the film, there was such a luxurious RV always on standby. When there was no scene, you could rest at any time, take a hot bath at any time, and even have a French meal in your spare time. It was simply enviable to others.

Unfortunately, the corresponding huge expenditure is prohibitive.

It is for this reason that very few actresses can own huge luxury RVs, and most of them are small and medium-sized motorhomes.

In Hollywood in the 1990s, the income gap between first-tier female stars and first-tier male stars was quite large, almost a level difference.

The salary of a first-tier male star can easily reach millions of dollars, while the salary of a popular first-tier female star can range from zero to hundreds of thousands of dollars. The highest salary is a million dollars.

Although Julia Roberts became a first-line actress with her role in "Pretty Woman" in 1990, her salary at that time was only US$300,000.

With the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress and Oscar nomination for Best Actress in "Pretty Woman", Julia Roberts's net worth has skyrocketed. Now her film salary is as high as 1 million to 1.2 million U.S. dollars, making her one of the top actresses in Hollywood.

Since filming "Pretty Woman" in 1990, he has filmed two films so far, earning about US$1.7 million.

This income alone is simply not enough to support a team of brokers and lawyers.

For Hollywood's top actresses, remuneration is not the main income. More of their income comes from product advertising endorsements such as cosmetics and clothing and fashion shows, which is the bulk of their income.

Take Julia Roberts as an example. In the past three years, she has earned a total of more than 10 million US dollars. Excluding the 10% fixed commission from the brokerage company, the payment of federal and state personal income taxes, and the fees for lawyers and brokerage teams, she can really

Less than half were obtained.

In the world of Hollywood, which is so rich and glamorous, it can only be said that this amount of money is insufficient to maintain the status and top-notch life of an A-list actress, as well as the expenditure on expensive dresses, shoes, hats and cosmetics.

In a luxury RV

Wang Yaocheng smiled, held Julia Roberts's hand, and showed her around the interior of the RV. She was pleasantly surprised after a tour.

The light-colored leather sofa chair backs and comfortable large bed are all branded with the English abbreviation of Julia Roberts, and every detail reveals thoughtful care.

"Is this... really given to me? I like it so much. The comfortable big bed and the light beige color are all my favorite colors."

"That's right, this is a gift carefully prepared for you."

"Wow... I like it very much, thank you dear."

Julia Roberts excitedly hugged Wang Yaocheng's neck...

Lilith, the female assistant outside, closed the door of the RV without knowing it, turned around and walked out, looked over, and sent out teasing waves to the handsome old man Tom not far away.

Tom looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, as calm as a thousand-year-old cypress.

Oh, this idiot! He is a very boring guy, what a pity for such a handsome face.

The female assistant Lilith gave Tom a negative review without hesitation.

a moment later

Wang Yaocheng got off the RV and said to Captain Daxiong, "Let's go quickly. There are still many things to do in the morning. We have to hurry up."

Captain Nobita's continuous state; "..."

Boss, don’t you have any points yourself?

You are the one who takes the most trouble and has the most troubles.
