Chapter 85

Donovan offers an 8% commission for services similar to CAA.

"Co broker, package service, that's a good idea. In 1975, owitz joined us, William Morris, and climbed all the way up the mailroom. He really saw through the business. In recent years, we have been confused by these two moves, and we are reluctant to let go of our long tradition. In Hollywood, we are losing. No way. Since last year, we decided to learn from him and provide similar services to our customers. "

He first flattered owitz by saying, "but..." And then a big turn, "aplus, you don't think those two are any panacea. There is no perfect system in the world. Let me first talk about joint brokers. Yes, we can change one broker into three to check and balance each other. The customers and the brokerage company are safer and the service they enjoy is more three-dimensional. However, new problems have emerged in the past two years. Do you know what the problem is? "

"Er..." Song Ya's brain turned. "There are more people, so There are more people who pay? "

“Bingo！”

Donovan said with a smile to Hayden, "you're right. This guy is very smart."

Hayden had a bitter face and a little smile.

"In the past, a broker, in addition to splitting accounts with the company, could get all the Commission. Now, there are three people who pay money, and there is only one who always follows the stars?" Donovan continued: "you can get what you pay for. The quality of the agent who follows the stars is naturally not as good as that of the traditional way. If you are doing well in Hollywood, in Chicago, your other two joint agents are drinking coffee in the CAA headquarters in Los Angeles. What's the use of this agent? On the contrary, your opportunities are reduced, but the risks are greater! "

Song Ya thought that was the reason, "continue."

"Let's talk about packaged services. It seems that this system has saved Hollywood studios a lot of work and brought more opportunities for their clients. But think about it, how terrible is a brokerage company that can provide everything from director to actor, from producer to recording? It's not impossible for CAA to get rid of the film company one day. Even if they don't make their own films, their bargaining power with the film companies is still a little too strong. In the past, the five million things can be done can't be done without 10 million. The cost of production is rising year by year. As long as people with normal IQ can slowly see through the interests, aplus, the seven major film companies, have begun to guard against CAA, the honey between them The month is over! "

"What does that have to do with me?" Song Ya still feels reasonable, but Hollywood is a little far away from himself.

"What if CAA is boycotted by the big seven? How much less do you want to make if a + record's songs don't make it into the movie soundtrack? "

Donovan took out a document from his bag. "We got the soundtrack for your ifeelitcom, which was released in April, for the night income movie. It's $250000. If you renew the contract with us, he's yours."

"Erotic..."

Song Ya was not sure when he heard the name.

"Don't worry, although the film was shot by playboy, the content is normal." Donovan guarantees.

Song Ya can't see the money, and he feels that he can't stand up to deceive, "since it involves signing a contract, I'd better go to my lawyer to talk about it."

He took them into Goodman's, and Donovan left Hayden outside.

"No problem, even if the song is used in that kind of film, it doesn't affect you, and it's not a part of it. And your ifeelitcoming is perfect for movies with that kind of tone. "

Goodman finished the contract, indicating that song Ya could rest assured.

"What do you think of Hayden? If so, we William Morris can change people. "

"But he's an honest man. It's hard to be disciplined in the business of brokers. Some of our clients would rather have their agents stupid," Donovan said

Hearing Donovan's behind the scenes comments on Hayden, Sonya and Goodman look at each other and smile.

"Good Hayden, aplus." Goodman also advised.

Although Hayden sometimes crossed the line a little, song Ya felt that he could control him. It was not necessary to change his mind. He thought of Hayden's bitter face just now, and his heart was a little soft.

"You're a songwriter. Generally speaking, talented creators don't lack business to find their homes. Naturally, they don't need brokers to have strong drilling ability."

Donovan continued to persuade, "and we will learn from you the CAA. I, as William Morris's vice president in charge of music department, is also one of your co brokers. Another co agent has a little influence in Chicago, and he will help you with some small troubles. As for the package service, we will take your music works into consideration as soon as possible. There are at least thousands of films in Hollywood every year. No matter good or bad, the money for music can't be relied on. It's also an astronomical number every year. "

"Commission..." Song Ya is excited.

"Eight percent is already very low. We are still collecting 10 percent for many big stars." Said Donovan."We have other options and they offer lower prices." Goodman interjects.

"ICM (International Innovation Management Company)?"

"No, local agent in Chicago, David Falk." Goodman is making up a lie. He's only heard a word when he's chatting with Sonya.

"A player agent!" The name surprised Donovan. "So, 7.5, the lowest price." He said in a deep voice, then shook his head with a wry smile, "I didn't expect that we, William Morris, had been reduced to relying on low prices to rob people..."

Sonya looks at Goodman and Goodman gives him a OK sign.

"Yes, sign it."

After calling Hayden in, the two sides communicated the contract, and then asked aunt Susie to complete the authorization. Busy in the early morning, he finally signed two contracts authorized by the three-year agency contract and ifeelitcom to the film erotic night.

Song Ya also called owitz in the middle, probably because it was too late. The other party didn't answer in person. Instead, he transferred it to a CAA senior manager. The other party said that the commission could not be reduced any more, which strengthened song Ya's determination to renew his contract with William Morris.

"Thank you, thank you aplus, I will use all my energy in the next three years..."

Hayden held Sonya's hand in both hands, and his voice choked with excitement.

"I don't need all your energy, but all your loyalty. You have to stand in my shoes all the time, OK?"

Sonya is still haunted by Hayden's suggestion that he give the song to Mila.

"Of course, of course."

Hayden was so scared today that Donovan came to Chicago with the idea of replacing Sonya for William Morris.

He went from a nobody who was sent by William Morris to old Joe music to sign a contract for song ya, to a medium-sized agent who could take part in the star affairs of Mila's level. In the past year, no matter what else, the share of money income paid to William Morris was was more than 400000 (even if the contract was terminated, the outstanding follow-up royalty share of SBK would still be shared with him) 10、 Because this is the contract he won for song ya.

Consumerism prevails in the United States. He may have started mortgage consumption according to his annual income. Once his income drops sharply in the next year, he may go bankrupt.

"It's a pleasure for William Morris to be at your service for the next three years, aplus."

Donovan took the champagne from Goodman and "helped us continue to succeed."

"Continue to succeed." The crowd cheered in unison.

"Well, as a co broker, can I ask you what you think of your future development?" Donovan asked.

"Oh, yes, there's a real problem."

Song Ya said that a + audio needs to buy the copyright Library of synthetic sound, "the market share should be at least 3% He relayed delay's judgment.

"No problem. I'll keep an eye on it and get back to you as soon as possible." Donovan picked up his bag and was ready to leave.

"I..." Hayden looks at Song ya.

"You can find a way to get SBK to settle the accounts of the next stage as soon as possible. I have to accumulate ammunition for the acquisition of copyright library. Little Lori and old Joe are in urgent need of money. As usual, you can join hands with them to pressure Daniel."

"I'll do it right away." Hayden answered happily.
