Remember in one second [End of the God Station] Mobile phone user input address: m.xinwanben.com

The partner of the brokerage company, this is the ultimate goal for every broker, and Andy Rogers, who is a senior broker, is no exception. What's more, this is the partner of the creative artist agency, the leader of Hollywood, and the number one crocodile with great power and prestige.

All along, Andy has been working hard, and now he finally sees the dawn of success. But only not long ago, Andy was still in the vortex of career crisis, and it seemed that everything he had built so hard was about to fall apart——

Because, Andy's brokerage cooperation agreement with Renly is about to officially expire.

For many laymen, it is bound to be incomprehensible, how can an actor's brokerage contract lead to a crisis in the career of an agent? What's more, Andy is not a nobody, even in the creative artist agency, he is a well-deserved senior employee, and his abilities and connections have been recognized.

But that's what it is.

Renly Hall, whether in terms of personal strength or commercial value, including industry reputation and social influence, he has already stood at the top of the pyramid; more importantly, this young actor is only 23 years old, and his future commercial potential There is still no end in sight, and now only the tip of the iceberg has been excavated.

Without a doubt, Renly is the most sought-after top client in the entire brokerage industry.

Not only did the other four major Hollywood brokerage companies start to make moves, but even the creative artist brokerage company itself began to move around.

On the whole, in Hollywood's broker system, brokers and actors are directly linked, and even a community of shared destiny that is tied together, both prosper and lose both; but the creative artist brokerage company is an alternative, and their company's internal All resources are shared -

Actors belong to the agency, not the individual agent; resources also belong to the agency, not the individual agent.

The brokerage company makes overall planning, completes the arrangement and combination of resources, and wins more opportunities for its actors; at the same time, it also effectively packs and allocates actors to strive for more performance opportunities.

A simple example is that Renly and Andy signed a brokerage contract, but he was affiliated with the Creative Artists Brokerage Company, and the 10% commission was not given to Andy personally, but to the brokerage firm, and then to the brokerage firm. The company completes the allocation. If Renly is not satisfied with Andy, he can switch to another manager at any time, but the overall resource allocation will still not be affected in any way.

Thanks to the mechanism of two-way resource allocation, although the rich are still getting richer and the poor are getting poorer, at least the effective utilization of resources can be maximized. This has also made Creative Artists Agency a leader in the industry.

But for individual brokers, the difference still exists objectively.

Inside the company, why are some people able to receive higher dividends? Why are some people able to become partners in a company? Why do some people have more power and status in the industry?

The reason is not complicated. The actors, directors and screenwriters in charge of them have achieved better results and reaped more profits. This is success. In other words, within the creative artist agency, the close relationship between agents and actors is still in sync with the entire Hollywood industry.

The most direct representative case is that in 1998, Tracy Jacobs, the top agent of the Creative Artists Agency, was successfully poached and joined the Rising Star United Elite Agency. It also took away Johnny Depp, who was walking between the first and second lines at the time.

The target of the United Elite Agency's poaching is Tracy, but also the Johnny she represents.

The same is true of Renly and Andy now.

For other agents, Renly is affiliated with the Creative Artists Agency, and they are trying to poach people and grow their companies; but for the Creative Artists Agency, Renly is an open option, and everyone can try Poaching and growing your strength.

No one leaked the news that Renly's brokerage contract was about to expire. Everyone in the industry had an account book in their hearts. When Renly signed the contract with Andy, they calculated the time when the contract expired. The countdown started at the beginning of the year, waiting for the right time, and then taking the initiative.

In fact, the specific time when the contract ends is August.

But as early as the beginning of July, Renly had already become a Xiangmo, and people began to try to poach one after another; in late August, when Renly returned to New York and appeared on the Broadway stage, it really reached a high/tide, and countless brokers People swarmed up, like sharks smelling blood, and all lost their minds.

Chasing and wrestling are everywhere, from rival agencies to creative artist agencies.

Overnight, Andy became an open target, suffering from the enemy on both sides, embarrassed and powerless.

On the one hand, he had to arrange for Renly's work, in addition to the performance schedule of "Les Miserables", there were related publicity hints for "Transcendence", and communication with the "Gravity" crew; on the other hand, he had to To deal with the ubiquitous malice and slander, all kinds of dirty means have been used, and it is impossible to prevent.

As far as Andy knew, there were at least two senior partners in the company who had joined the poaching of Renly—not senior brokers, but senior partners; and, this was just the part Andy knew.

During that time, Renly was so immersed in the Broadway show that he had no time for it.

Take care of other off-site chores.

Thanks to the rumors that Vin Diesel kept spreading, and the rumors during the filming of "Transcendence", everyone knew about Renly's habit of forgetting to eat and sleep after he got into work. angered Renly; and in Diesel's description, the angry Renly did not recognize his six relatives, and even when facing the director, he dared to confront him head-on.

Therefore, the brokers have learned to behave.

Bypassing Renly, Roy and Nathan became the targets of everyone's pursuit, from gifts to parties, from VIP guests to gatherings of beautiful women, from flattery to intimacy... The two enjoyed unprecedented treatment, wrapped in In the midst of the flowers, it seems that he has also become a high-ranking person in Hollywood.

Roy has not completely counted, the highest record is that he received 27 calls and 136 text messages within three hours, and another 277 emails, including 19 parties. invitations, invitations to thirty-three events, and a wide variety of discount coupons and vacation products.

All of this happened in just three hours.

"More exaggeratedly, I just went to 7/11 to buy a sandwich, and then a beautiful woman came up to me, went around and then invited me to a party on the Upper East Side. At that moment, I almost thought I'm Leonardo DiCaprio just finished filming 'Titanic'." Roy joked so self-deprecatingly.

After "Titanic" created a box office miracle, Leonardo lost himself in Vanity Fair, and that experience also made him cautious, making few new friends, because everyone has what he wanted, and he was just a pedal. Friends like Leonardo and Tobey Maguire before they became famous, friendships have always been unbreakable, and that's why it's important.

However, the chaos and commotion lasted less than two weeks before it came to an abrupt end.

Because the parties have made a public statement.

Before that, Renly didn't know about it at all. He completely forgot about the expiry of the brokerage contract and didn't notice any changes. Moreover, Roy and Nathan were also completely confidential and did not disturb Renly at all. The state of the show, aside from the fact that the VIP box at the Broadway show was a bit too lively - but compared to London's West End, it's not worth the fuss.

If it weren't for the senior partner of Creative Artists Agency, skipping Andy, skipping Roy and Nathan, going through an unidentified Matthew Dunlop, after a detour, and contacting Renly, he probably would have will continue to be kept in the dark.

The senior partner passed the unknown Matthew, made an appointment with Renly, attended an opening ceremony of the art museum, and had a great conversation, and then had a dinner together. The details of the interview, which Renly never mentioned, would also become an unknown mystery.

But you could feel that Renly didn't like it, very much.

The senior partner obviously didn't know that the last thing Renly liked was that someone used his friends. When the other party used Matthew to achieve the purpose of meeting, the cooperation has completely lost all possibilities.

If Andy had known in advance, he would have given sincere advice to try to avoid such a self-proclaimed smart move, which worked in high society, but not for Renly. Unfortunately, the other party did not tell Andy, and Andy naturally did not give a reminder.

On the first day of dinner, Renly called Andy directly, "When are we going to update some brokerage contracts? Is there anything that needs to be changed? Why didn't you tell me ahead of time? That would save a lot of trouble. "

In this regard, Andy expressed his surprise, "I thought...you need to consider different possibilities." After all, the whole world is now Renly's, and he can choose any agent and make any request. , no one would refuse, but Renly chose Andy.

It was so unexpected that Andy stuttered a little. Rarely, Andy showed his lack of self-confidence.

"I did that before I signed with you, didn't I?" That was Renly's answer, succinct and clear.

After that, it was only through Roy that Renly understood Andy's situation and difficulties, and even the malicious competition from within the company. Therefore, Renly and Andy had the conversation just now:

A work with a salary of 500,000 yuan is not enough for an innovative artist agency.
