Chapter 235

It turns out that owitz has contacted a group of CAA partners now. Naturally, some people agree and others object. However, owitz is not an ordinary person. After all, he used to be his own men and always has a burning incense.

Subsequently, owitz made public relations to the main partners one by one. In particular, owitz once had a dream or ambition to go further in the current packaging service, that is, to participate in production and investment.

Once owitz wanted to execute when he was in charge of CAA, but he finally let it go in the face of the joint pressure of Hollywood production companies.

However, after talking with Li Feng, it created the possibility for it. After all, Li Feng proposed to provide studio system for those superstars. Owitz has a very thorough understanding of this system, which is definitely the best tool to win over Star agents and superstars.

Think about the studios set up by those stars in China in the future. Which of those stars is not making a lot of money? After all, let the stars participate in investment, which is the biggest attraction for these stars.

Similarly, such a star studio is definitely the dream of those superstars. After all, the money earned by such a studio is their own, and they can participate in film and television production and investment, and their status in Hollywood has risen sharply.

……

Therefore, owitz broke one by one. These partners are smart people. The strategy of Li Feng brokerage company is to subvert the tradition of today's brokerage industry. It is very clear how attractive its stars are.

If Li Feng uses such a sharp tool as the studio to dig corners, it is estimated that many stars will be moved, and even many may directly fire their agents and join them directly. In the face of huge interests, the so-called intimate relationship is a fart.

Naturally, some people will say that we can follow suit, but both owitz and those star agents know that although they are shareholders of the company and the company seems to be very powerful in name, it is not a simple thing for them to take out a large amount of money and set up a work room with those superstars. To be frank, they have no money. Yes, they have no money.

Although a brokerage company like CAA sounds very powerful, you should know that when competing for artist resources in highly competitive Hollywood, the commission charged when signing contracts with stars is actually very low.

For example, when owitz signed with those superstars, the Commission was even about 5%. Although the Commission was different according to different stars, on the whole, the Commission in the brokerage industry was relatively low, and all of them would never exceed 10%.

Even now, CAA helps its artists sign contracts for a total of several billion each year, which can be counted as several hundred million at most according to the Commission, and then excluding the company's taxes and various costs, to tell the truth, the profit of a year will never be as high as people think.

……

To tell the truth, this is also one of the reasons why owitz was persuaded by Disney. You know, in the late 1980s and early 1990s, when owitz helped Japanese companies to buy Hollywood giants, the Commission alone added up to hundreds of millions in just a few transactions.

These commissions are almost equal to the commission income of owitz's whole work for decades. No wonder owitz's ambition will be ignited and left CAA founded by owitz to join Disney.

After all, to become the boss of Disney who is fully responsible for the film and television, entertainment and media sectors, not to mention that the annual income is not small. The rights and funds faced every day are not comparable in CAA.

What owitz didn't expect was that the difficulty of working in such a large media group was far beyond his expectation.

Therefore, although the income looks good, you should know that CAA has hundreds of partner brokers, and the income will be divided among these brokers.

Although it is a huge sum of money for ordinary people, it is obviously not enough to face the tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of investments in Hollywood.

If there are rich people like Li Feng and media groups to rely on in the future, according to Li Feng's plan, star brokers and their superstars can jointly set up studios.

Future studios can participate in future film and television investment. It can be said that it is too attractive for brokers and stars. Although Li Feng's brokerage company may participate in some shares, it has been explained that the participation will not exceed half, that is to say, it has given up its controlling stake.

The studios are independent and responsible for their own profits and losses. Finally, under owitz's public relations, CAA's current power holders have let go.

……

"Owitz, that means we need to prepare a lot of money to sign partnership studios with superstars and agents."

Li Feng is clear. The key is to set up a studio next. If the media group needs to participate in shares, it needs a lot of money. No wonder Barry and owitz are so anxious to find themselves. It turned out that they wanted money from themselves.

Sure enough, listening to Li Feng's words, Barry and owitz nodded awkwardly.

"Well, then you go and talk to me when you're done."

"Great, boss. Don't worry. We are full of confidence in it." Hearing Li Feng's words, owitz replied happily.

"But boss, I think if so, we'd better have our own film company, which will provide necessary help for future development."

"Oh, Barry, we won't violate the monopoly law from film and television production, distribution and brokerage companies."

Li Feng raised his concerns at this time. After all, he heard a lot of antitrust investigations in his previous life.

"Boss, don't worry, never. The original 'paramount act', that is, the monopoly law, as long as it inhibits the combination of production, distribution and release.

First, we didn't participate in the release. Second, since the 1980s, this bill has existed in name only. Even today's Hollywood encourages production companies to "monopolize". Unfortunately, today's production companies are not interested. "

Barry explained on one side, which relieved Li Feng. Finally, after they had a discussion, Li Feng asked them to do it according to the discussion.

……

However, owitz's words reminded Li Feng that if the film company is put on the agenda, marvel should also be put on the agenda. Now the competition for marvel in the United States is also hot, and Marvel's situation is revealed from time to time.

At the same time, marvel is now at the lowest point. According to the original history, marvel was bankrupt and restructured by the end of 1996. Now, the acquisition of marvel is definitely the price of cabbage.

Therefore, thinking of this, he asked Barry directly. After all, Barry had mentioned it to Barry before, but Barry had been paying attention to it. Without hearing Li Feng's words, Barry immediately explained it.

Similarly, with the negotiation between Li Feng and Barry, owitz was pleasantly surprised, but owitz really didn't know that Li Feng had the intention to buy Marvel.

As a professional in Hollywood, marvel is no stranger. It is also very clear about Marvel's situation today. It once again expresses its admiration for Li Feng's vision.
