The Best Entertainment Era

Chapter 694: Cooperation is the theme

The problem of bullying, fearing hard work, and bullying newcomers is a common phenomenon in the whole society. Of course, the entertainment circle cannot avoid the vulgarity. When you take a step back, they tend to take ten steps forward.

The 80s and 90s of the last century can be called the end of the era of Hollywood superstars, and the importance of big-name stars to movies is the key.

The big production of the production company relies heavily on the celebrity effect, and even the agents with the celebrities have become strong, and the representatives of them are CAA and Michael Ovitz.

However, since the late 1990s, special effects movies have fully emerged, the superstar era has begun to end, and the brokerage industry has encountered various problems, especially the CAA civil strife, and even the head of the company jumped off the building to commit suicide. The situation of top high-level offices in large companies no longer exists.

Frankly speaking, the relationship between the production company and the agent has never been hostile, but more cooperative.

Seek greater benefits in cooperation.

In this industry, as long as there are sufficient benefits, rival companies will also cooperate.

Relativity Entertainment has been cooperating with CAA on a large scale. CAA's performance in the cooperation is generally very reliable.

Recommend Lindsay Lohan, from the perspective of CAA, is also a reliable candidate.

Although Ronan turned the heroine of "Mean Girl" into Amanda Seyfried, Lindsay Lohan still has such excellent works as "Natural Couple" and "Sweet Girl". Among the stars, they are definitely the best.

Lindsay Bill said: "I really don't have enough experience in some things."

Ronan nodded: "Remember, you are the producer, regardless of whether the agent you are facing is Brian Lord or Eri Emanuel, you, not the agent, will have the decision-making power. If there is a problem with the project, it is not the brokers who need to be responsible."

Lindsay Bill has the ability, but is relatively lack of experience: "I understand." She gave Ronan a stack of information: "CAA also recommended some other candidates."

Ronan opened it and looked, and quickly found a familiar name-Blake Lively.

That face with a natural and old look is very distinctive and quite recognizable.

As a crazy female fan who once put the idol Leonardo to sleep successfully, Blake Lively is also a new generation of Hollywood actress who Ronan remembers clearly.

The well-known Queen S, once selected by the media as one of the four little girls in Hollywood.

Looks like "Gossip Girl" is Blake Lively's famous work?

It is certainly not a simple matter for an unknown newcomer to appear on CAA's highly recommended list just like Lindsay Lohan.

Besides, this is still a girl less than eighteen years old.

Ronan has read all the information about Blake Lively and understands roughly that Blake Lively was born in an acting family, his parents are both actors, and his father also changed career to become a director. Although he did not even squeeze in the second line, he accumulated To a large number of network resources.

Blake Lively has a huge advantage when he enters Hollywood.

Even in addition to performance experience in school theaters and community theaters, Blake Lively has already played roles in films directed by her father.

These are all advantages.

Not to mention anything else, you will be more confident and confident when you audition alone.

Ronan put down the actor's information and said: "Except Lindsay Lohan, everyone else is sending out audition invitations. Your production crew is responsible for the first audition. Remember to notify me for the second audition."

Lindsay Bill nodded immediately: "Okay." She said one more thing: "I want to invite Lydia Hirst as a special consultant for the project."

Lydia Hirst had previously served as a fashion consultant for "The Devil Wearing Prada", and she did a good job. The crew gave her a relatively high evaluation.

Ronan said: "Yes, but limit her interference with the crew."

This is a TV series adapted from Lydia Hirst's narration. As a prototype character, there must be an urge to interfere with the crew.

Lindsay Bill smiled: "Don't worry, I know what to do."

Ronan warned again: "If you have any questions, you can call me."

"I will."

Ronan didn't wait much. He left Lindsay Bill's office and asked Connie to call Brian Lord. Brian Lord responded positively and arrived at Ronan's office in less than half an hour.

CAA's office is also in Century City, not far from Relativity Entertainment.

"From here, is the scenery of Century City particularly good?" Brian Lord stood by the floor-to-ceiling window of the reception room and said, "Overlooking Los Angeles and Beverly Hills."

He seemed to mean something: "Stand high, see far."

Ronan said casually, "CAA is also located in a very high position."

Brian Lord turned around and sat down: "At that time, CAA also intended to buy this building, but $200 million is too high for CAA. We are still hesitating, so you can take it.

Ronan shook his head slightly: "Why haven't I heard you talk about it."

"CAA's annual revenue is less than 100 million U.S. dollars." Brian Lord said: "The profit is less and the controlling rights are not in the hands of the partners. It is too difficult to spend more than 200 million U.S. dollars to buy a new building. Existing. The office location is enough for CAA."

Ronan understands the status quo of CAA, the industry is naturally the best, but in terms of revenue and profit, of course it cannot be compared with the big Hollywood companies.

Brian Lord added: "It's still your relativity entertainment that is rich and powerful. Over the past year or so, you have been making big moves. You bought the Relativity Building and Artisan Films."

Ronan smiled: "The family property accumulated by Relativity Entertainment is almost spent."

Of course, Brian Lord does not believe this. The real performance of Relativity Entertainment is definitely not as simple as it appears on the surface.

And as the number of big-selling movies under Relativity Entertainment increases every year, the income of the industry chain is bound to rise.

This is not simply one plus one.

Brian Lord is very clear that the cooperation between CAA and Relativity Entertainment has only benefits, saying: "CAA wants to develop and needs the help of Relativity Entertainment. I hope we can continue to cooperate."

"Our cooperation has always been very pleasant." Ronan said lightly: "I have always been very satisfied."

Brian Lord heard some unusual meanings, and simply asked: "Ronan, what kind of cooperation does CAA need to do in cooperation?"

Ronan said: "Shahai Entertainment has not really been involved in commercial production for a long time. The co-producers may be less experienced, but I hope that it will not happen that the agent forcibly breaks into the film’s office and sells something over and over again. The actor's situation happened."

"Is there such a thing?" Brian Lord frowned, not like a fake: "CAA is a server, and this is never allowed."

Ronan said directly: "Brian, we have worked together for many years, and I don't want any unpleasant situations. An actor with huge troubles like Lindsay Lohan will not recommend it to Relativity Entertainment in the future."

Brian Lord knew about this young customer of CAA and knew some of the troubles caused by her family. He didn't mean to shirk responsibility, and said, "Ronan, it's because my job is not done well. I will handle it. This matter will prevent such incidents from happening in the future."

Relativity Entertainment is CAA's most important partner on this line.

Ronan smiled: "I believe in the sincerity of CAA."

Nowadays, Relativity Entertainment occupies an absolute dominant position. As the upstream of the industry chain, Relativity Entertainment does not have CAA, and there are four other large brokerage companies, but CAA lacks the cooperation of Relativity Entertainment, and business volume will drop by a large margin.

Ronan certainly knows that cooperation is the theme between the two parties.

Therefore, he asked Connie to take up the project information that Jeremy Abrams had signed with Shahai Entertainment and hand it to Brian Lord.

"This is..." Brian Lord glanced briefly.

Ronan introduced: "The director of "Hurricane Rescue" Abrams has signed a contract with Shahai Entertainment for the TV series project. After the completion of "Hurricane Rescue 2", director Abrams will be the producer of this project. Film crew, other personnel..."

Brian Lord answered immediately: "CAA will fully assist Shahai Entertainment in forming the crew and preparing the project."

Ronan nodded: "We continue our collaboration on the TV series, "Lost" is packaged by CAA~www.NovelMTL.com~Brian Lord stood up and shook hands with Ronan: "CAA will definitely continue in Good cooperation on "Lei". "

Ronan laughed: "I believe this." He added: "The project plan will be handed over to CAA first. The specific details will be discussed after Director Abrams has finished filming and producing "Hurricane Rescue 2."

Brian Lord nodded first, then asked: "Where is Director Abrams now? If he has time, I will meet him in person."

Ronan glanced at Connie, and Connie answered: "In Istanbul, Director Abrams is leading the crew on location."

Brian Lord said: "I'll talk to Director Abrams when I go back."

Connie rummaged, wrote a number on the sticky note, and handed it to Brian Lord.

CAA's packaging project has not been carried out particularly smoothly. It has never involved large-scale commercial production in Hollywood. Its business is mainly concentrated on independent film and TV drama projects.

Compared with independent films whose future is uncertain, the profit prospects of TV dramas are brighter.

CAA moved quickly, and Brian Lord went to Istanbul in person.

In addition, CAA made internal adjustments, Lindsay Lohan replaced a new agent, and the original agent resigned from CAA.

CAA is also expressing its sincerity for cooperation to Relativity Entertainment.

Ronan is also willing to continue to cooperate with CAA on the TV drama project.

In the following period of time, Ronan focused on the project that Shahai Entertainment was preparing and filming, and also watched the crew of Brokeback Mountain in Wyoming.

The crew led by Li An has been shooting location scenes.
