Chapter 1128

The partner of the brokerage company, for every broker, this is the ultimate goal. As a senior broker, Andy Rogers is no exception. What's more, he is a partner of creative artists agency, the leader of Hollywood, and the first giant with powerful power and reputation.

All along, Andy has been working hard, and now he finally sees the dawn of success. But just a short time ago, Andy was still in the whirlpool of career crisis. It seemed that everything he had built up was about to fall apart——

Because, Andy and blue Li's broker cooperation agreement, is about to officially expire.

For many laymen, it is bound to be difficult to understand how an actor's brokerage contract can lead to a crisis in an agent's career? What's more, Andy is not a nobody. Even in the creative artists agency, he is a well deserved senior employee. His ability and contacts have been recognized.

But that's what happened.

Lanli hall is at the top of the pyramid in terms of personal strength and business value, including industry reputation and social influence; What's more, the young actor is only 23 years old, and his future business potential is still endless. Now he has just dug out the tip of the iceberg.

There is no doubt that lanli is the most sought after and popular top customer in the whole brokerage industry.

It's not just Hollywood, but the other four major agencies are starting to make moves one after another. Even the creative artists agency itself is ready to move.

On the whole, in Hollywood's agent system, agents and actors are directly linked, or even tied together as a community of common destiny; But the innovative artists agency is a different kind of company, all the resources in their company are shared——

The actor belongs to the agent company, not the agent individual; Resources also belong to brokerage firms, not to individual brokers.

The agency will make overall planning and complete the arrangement and combination of resources to win more opportunities for its actors; At the same time, the actors are effectively packaged and allocated to strive for more performance opportunities.

A simple example is that Langley signed a brokerage contract with Andy, but he belongs to the innovative artists brokerage company. Ten percent of the Commission is not given to Andy personally, but delivered to the brokerage company, and then distributed by the brokerage company. If Landry is not satisfied with Andy, he can change other managers at any time, but the overall allocation of resources will not be affected.

Thanks to the mechanism of two-way resource allocation, although the richer the richer and the poorer the poorer, it can at least maximize the effective utilization of resources. This also makes the innovative artist agency the industry leader.

But for individual agents, the difference is objective.

Within the company, why can some people get higher dividends? Why can some people become partners in a company? Why do some people have higher power and status in the industry?

The reason is not complicated. The actors, directors and screenwriters in charge have achieved better results and gained more profits. This is success. In other words, the close relationship between the agents and actors within the creative artist agency keeps pace with the whole Hollywood industry.

The most direct representative case is that Tracy Jacobs, the top agent of the innovative artists agency, was successfully poached in 1998 and joined the rising star United elite agency. Tracy took away Johnny Depp, who was between the first line and the second line.

The target of United elite agency is Tracy, and it is Johnny that she represents.

The same is true of Randy and Andy now.

For other agents, lanli is a member of the innovative artists agency. They are trying to dig a corner and expand their own company; For the interior of the innovative artist agency, lanli is an open option. Everyone can try to dig a corner and expand their own strength.

No one has leaked the news that lanli's brokerage contract is about to expire. Everyone in the industry has an account book. When lanli signed a contract with Andy, they calculated the expiration time of the contract. Almost from the beginning of the year, they began to count down. They have been waiting for the right time, and then they took the initiative to attack.

In fact, the contract ends in August.

However, as early as the beginning of July, lanli had become a fragrant steamed bun, and some people began to try to dig corners after another; In late August, when Langley returned to New York and stepped on Broadway stage, it really reached a climax. Countless agents swarmed on, just like sharks smelling blood, and all lost their senses.

From competitors to innovative artists, chasing and wrestling are everywhere.

Overnight, Andy became a public target, besieged, embarrassed, unable to parry.

On the one hand, he had to arrange the work of lanli, in addition to the performance itinerary of "les miserables", there were related publicity signs of "detachment" and communication with the crew of "gravity"; On the other hand, he has to deal with the malice and slander everywhere. All kinds of dirty means are used to prevent him.

As far as Andy knows, there are at least two senior partners in the company who have joined in the poaching of lanli - not senior brokers, but senior partners; And that's just what Andy knows.

During that time, Langley was completely immersed in Broadway performance, and had no time to care about other off-site trivia.

Thanks to the rumor spread by Van diesel and the rumor during the shooting period of "detachment", everyone knows that lanli's habit is that he forgets to eat and sleep and is desperate after working. Any disturbance and interference may offend lanli; Moreover, in the description of diesel, Lan Li, who is angry, does not recognize each other. Even in the face of the director, he dares to fight head-on.

So, the brokers have learned to be good.

Bypassing lanli, Roy and Nathan have become popular objects, from gifts to parties, from VIP banquets to beauty gathering, from flattery to intimacy... They enjoy unprecedented treatment, wrapped in a cluster of flowers, and seem to have become Hollywood's upper class. They are becoming more and more charming, and easily lost in a trance.

Roy did not complete the statistics. The highest record was that he received 27 phone calls and 136 text messages in three hours, and 277 e-mails, including 19 party invitation, 33 activity invitation, various discount coupons and vacation products.

All this happened in just three hours.

"What's more, I just went to 711 to buy a sandwich, and then a beautiful woman came to chat me up, walked around and invited me to a party on the upper east side. At that moment, I almost thought I was Leonardo DiCaprio who had just finished filming Titanic. " Roy mocked himself so much.

After the "Titanic" created a box office miracle, Leonardo lost himself in the vanity fair. That experience also made him cautious, and made few new friends, because everyone wanted something, and he was just a pedal. Before becoming famous, friends like Leonardo and Toby Maguire always have unbreakable friendship, which is an important reason.

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

Because the parties have made their stand public.

Before that, lanli didn't know about it. He forgot that the brokerage contract was about to expire and didn't notice any change; Besides, Roy and Nathan are completely confidential, and they don't disturb Langley's performance at all, except that the VIP box on Broadway is a bit too busy - but it's no surprise compared with the west end.

If he is not the senior partner of creative artists agency, skipping Andy, Roy and Nathan, and contacting lenley through the unknown Matthew Dunlop, he will continue to be kept in the dark.

The senior partner, through the unknown Matthew, met with lanli, attended the opening ceremony of an art gallery, had a good talk, and then had a dinner together. Lanli never mentioned the details of the interview, which will become an unknown puzzle.

But you can feel that Lan Li didn't like it, very much.

The senior partner obviously didn't know that what Langley didn't like most was that someone used his friends. When the other party used Matthew to achieve the purpose of meeting, cooperation had completely lost all possibilities.

If Andy knew in advance, he would give sincere advice and try to avoid such a smart act. It is applicable to the upper class, but it is not applicable to Langley. Unfortunately, the other party did not tell Andy, Andy naturally did not give a reminder.

On the first day after dinner, Langley called Andy directly, "when shall we renew some brokerage contracts? Is there anything that needs to be changed? Why don't you tell me in advance? So you can avoid a lot of trouble. "

Andy was surprised. "I thought... You need to think about different possibilities." After all, now the whole world is blue, he can choose any agent, and put forward any request, presumably no one will refuse, but blue still chose Andy.

It was so unexpected that Andy stammered. Rarely seen, Andy shows his self-confidence.

"I've done that before I signed with you, haven't I?" This is Lan Li's answer, simple and clear.

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

It's not enough for an innovative artist agency to pay 500000 yuan for a piece.
