Reborn Hollywood Ladies

Chapter 44 Three Big Brokerage Firms

In fact, when filming the witch, Laila already had the idea of ​​opening an agency department.

In this era, what she has is not only a new life, but also an understanding of the future.She knows who will become the most famous star in the future, and who will have the greatest potential. With such a "forward-looking" attitude, wouldn't it be perfect to open an agency department?
There are three major agencies in Hollywood, CAA with clients such as Steve Spielberg, Will Smith, and Brad Pitt; WMA with clients such as Denzel Washington and Natalie Portman and ICM, which has clients like Beyoncé and Halle Berry.

Among them, CAA is the well-deserved king. Their artists often receive the sum of No.2 to No.5 awards in Oscars, and their directors can even win half of the global box office.In addition to film and television, they are also unrivaled in music.

Almost 2/3 of Hollywood's first-line stars are signed with them, and it is one of the most influential organizations.Like some big movie giants, such as Disney and Time Warner, they all love and hate them.

What I love is that their stars really have the ability to attract box office. What I hate is their "packaging", which is packaged service.

For example, if I want to make a movie, I first need a good script, a producer, a director, a crew, and various actors.

CAA's package service is that you only need to prepare the money, and the actors, directors, crew and even the script can arrange it for you.

It sounds very convenient and comfortable, just sit and wait for the money to come into the account.But for some large companies, this is like a curse that strangles them out of breath.

CAA has mastered too many first-line stars, and film companies want to accept their packaging services if they want to cooperate with stars in making movies.If you want our so-and-so, that's fine, then other so-and-so and so-and-so in the company can also play a small role.

To be honest Lyra didn't want to see this happen.That's right, CAA's resources are very powerful, but their asking price is also set to a terrible height.What she wants is a film company that she controls alone, instead of being led by the nose and becoming someone else's money-making tool.

That's why she started planning to open a brokerage department when the first movie came out, and specially signed some potential stocks that were still buried in the sea of ​​people at this time, and would surely soar like eagles in the future.

It's just that she didn't expect that the first person she wanted to sign would be Roy, a person who hadn't shown any trace in the future.But she wants to take a gamble, bet on her vision, bet on her ability to discover talents even if she has no memory of the future.

If she wins, then she has defeated herself and will have more confidence to start her own business.And if she fails, all she loses is some confidence and some money.

"After Christmas, there is a new movie that will let you play a role, so you need an agent now. Of course you can find other agents, but it is hard to say whether you will still get the role." If The wings are hard and she wants to fly with others, but she will not give the role so kindly.

Laila looked at him indifferently, waiting for his answer.

If no one would associate Roy with a star before, then after some "retouching" just now, the stylist has released his charm.It can be said that when he walks on the streets of Hollywood like this, there is an 80% chance that he will be picked up by scouts.The other 20% possibility is that he exploded with the aura of a little gangster, scolding people away before they even opened their mouths.

"Acting in a movie? Me?" Roy squinted his eyes, looked at her and suddenly smiled evilly: "That kind of movie? It seems that you really like my figure, do you want to try it yourself?"

Claire was originally dissatisfied with this overly handsome little guy, but when she heard his words, she immediately stood up from her chair, wanting to give this impolite guy some color.

But she was pushed back by Laila.

"Roy, do you want to sign or not?" She gave him this opportunity to choose, and he will choose what to do in the future.

"Sign, why not sign." Roy grabbed a pen and signed his name on the contract.He is very clear that there is nothing in him that others can plot. Since he didn't want to deceive himself, why didn't he try?How bad can it be worse than now?
Although he doesn't think he can become such a popular star one day, as long as he can earn some money to bring his younger brother to his side, and earn enough ham for him to eat, that's fine.

Lila put away the contract and looked at it for a second, then handed it to Claire to put it away with satisfaction: "Give it to Louise after returning to the company, she will know what to do."

"Okay." Claire looked at Roy with some anxiety, always feeling that this foolish little bastard had somehow tricked the "pure and kind" Laila into making a decision that was destined to be wrong.

She admitted that this little gangster does have a good face, but that ruffian, the kind of temperament that looks like a gangster at first sight, wants to act in a movie and become a star?No matter how she understands it, she knows that it is impossible!
The cell phone rang suddenly.When Laila got on the phone, she heard Zeni's voice from the opposite side: "Little angel, Laila, where are you playing? Do you want to watch the Boulder game with me?"

"I'm eating out. If you're okay, come to my house in the afternoon. I just have some questions I want to ask you."

"Well, how about 03:30 in the afternoon?"

"No problem, I'll wait for you at home."

Laila hung up the phone after confirming the time.Thanks to Zeni for reminding, otherwise she would have forgotten another actor who wanted to sign-"Dwayne Johnson".

"Claire, please remember for me. After the holiday is over, let Louise go to WWE to find Dwayne Johnson and get his acting agent."

"I wrote it down." Claire responded.

After thinking about it, she felt that there seemed to be nothing more to be forgotten, so Lila stood up from her seat.

"I'll go home first. Claire, you can help Roy get a mobile phone, and rent him an apartment in Hollywood. I hope I can take him there after the holiday."

"That's no problem."

Lila nodded with a smile, and turned her head to Roy: "Are you okay? You won't be able to come back to New York for at least a while. After Christmas, you need to go to Hollywood with me. If there is anything else to accomplish Just get it over with." It was clear to her that he had nothing to miss except his brother who was seven years his junior and a friend named Pencey who needed to say goodbye.

"Got it." Roy waved his hand impatiently.

That look made Claire's hands itch again.
