Chapter 199: : Hollywood Liwei

Chapter 201 Hollywood Liwei

G Wagina is the owner of a small brokerage company. There are many such brokerage companies in Hollywood, and there may be thousands of them.

Often these agents have some personal connections, such as knowing a small leader of a certain film company, or knowing a certain director, they sign some new people, some are trained, some are directly launched.

Use relationships to find opportunities for contracted artists. If they succeed, the net worth of these artists will increase sharply. The agent may sell them to make a fortune, or keep them for training and sell them when the value is higher.

The big stars of film companies often come from this way.

The above are actually the luckiest group, because the actors still have the possibility to make their debut, and some brokerage companies are completely scam companies.

The agent fudges the newcomers to sign, and the contract is like a contract. After these newcomers sign, they will be manipulated by these agents, some are coaxing, some even threatening to beat them to make these artists submit.

Luna and her roommate are just one of thousands of such girls.

The agent's car parked downstairs and opened the door of the room. Luna looked a little cowered when she saw the agent's expression.

"Luna, quickly dress up and make it more beautiful. There is a deputy director of a big company who wants to find an actor. It is not easy for me to find an audition for you." Waggina said.

Luna pursed her lips, revealing a stubborn expression.

"I do not want to go."

Vagina's face turned a little ugly, walked to Luna's side, staring at her condescendingly, "Are you rejecting it!"

Luna was very scared, and drummed up her courage and said: "I know this is not an audition at all. You just give us as **** to others to play, and then collect money. I came here to be an actor, not to do it. Prostitute."

Vagina showed a fierce expression, grabbed Luna’s hair, and said viciously, "What do you think you are, you are a bitch."

"If you want to be successful, there is no one who doesn't pay. Do you think that you can become a big star when you come to Hollywood? Don't dream."

"Then I want to leave." Luna raised her head uncomfortably.

"Leave, hey, okay, you can get the liquidated damages, 50,000 US dollars, can you get it, as long as you can take out the money, I will let you go, otherwise I will sue you, and you will have to bear the money in the future Debt, I don't know how many years you can pay off this money, hahahaha." Wagina arrogantly laughed.

Currently, the average annual salary per capita is more than 2,000 U.S. dollars. Ordinary people have to pay for 20 years if they don’t eat or drink. There are several 20 years in life.

Vagina pinched Luna’s chin with the other hand, gritted her teeth and said, “I don’t want to hurt your face, so the guests won’t like it. Now, change clothes obediently.”

Luna was frightened, shaking and changing clothes.

One hour later, Luna was taken to a hotel. In the room, she saw an old man with obesity. The man smiled and pulled Luna to bed.

at this time.

The door of the room was suddenly kicked open.

A group of people rushed into the room, and others were holding cameras.

The naked fat man was terrified. He quickly wrapped himself in a bath towel and shouted at the person who rushed in: "Who are you and what are you doing?!"

"Police, now you are suspected of forcing a woman to have a relationship, take you back to investigate." Someone showed a police badge.

"Ah~~Police!" The fat man was scared and stupid.

Immediately after, Wagina was also controlled by the police and was taken back for interrogation. Luna and her companions, as well as five other girls from Wagina's brokerage company, were all called to the police station for questioning.

At this time, several lawyers appeared in the police station. They stood in front of the girls and asked, "Is any of you a member of the actors' union?"

Luna and her female companion quickly stood up, "We are members of the actors' union."

John McKenzie smiled at the two girls, "We are the lawyers hired by the Screen Actors Guild. As a member of the Screen Actors Guild, your rights and interests have been violated. You can get our help. Then we will help you in a lawsuit."

When the other five girls heard this, someone asked: "We, we are also being violated, can you help us together."

Mak Jianshi shook his head, "I'm sorry, we are a lawyer hired by the Screen Actors Guild, and we only help the members of the Screen Actors Guild."

The investigation is not complicated. The seven girls accused Wagina together. Wagina was detained by the police. Waiting for him will be a long lawsuit and prison life.

During this period, the lawyers will safeguard the rights and interests of Luna and others, help them to terminate unreasonable contracts, and recover compensation and mental losses.

As for the other five girls, they had to hire a lawyer by themselves because they were not members of a trade union.

The next day.

The Global Times reported the incident in detail.

The Global Times has been on sale, and it is now only available in Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, and Las Vegas. It can only be regarded as a regional tabloid, but Hardy is not in a hurry, as long as it is opened.

There is a process for the development of any industry. As long as the funds are sufficient, the Global Times will grow up quickly.

ABC TV station.

Noon news time, the whole process of the police arresting the agent was broadcast. This kind of documentary news is very attractive and many people watch it with gusto.

It’s not over yet, the host said: “There are many insider details in the whole thing. I don’t show them one by one. If you want to see detailed reports, you can pay attention to tonight’s "Global Vision" program, which is specially produced by "Global Times". ."

In order to promote the "Global Times", Hardy specifically asked them to create a section on ABC TV called "Global Vision", which is a news documentary program. The program is irregular and can be produced and broadcasted with good themes and materials.

8:30 in the evening,

"Global Vision" program started.

The show caught people’s attention from the beginning. The camera went deep into the Actors’ Guild building and came to the chairman’s office. Hardy was looking at the information. The vice chairman and assistant secretary Li Gen sat next to him. Hardy handed the report letter to the two of them. Frowned and said:

"This matter is very bad. Trade union members are subjected to such abuse. It is absolutely not allowed. Send people to investigate and report to the police station. Once verified, ask a lawyer to help them file a lawsuit. We cannot allow such things to exist."

The screen turns once.

A man appeared, and the voice was over. This person is the person in charge of the agency, G. Wagina. He opened a small agency and signed 7 girls.

With the depth of the documentary.

Vagina forced the girl to betray her body and threatened Luna by holding her hair. When Luna was threatened, many viewers' hearts were picked up and felt sad for Luna's destiny.

Luna was forced to have no choice but to obey the agent’s orders again and put on her clothes to go to the interview. In fact, she sold herself. At this moment, the situation took a major turn. The police appeared and arrested the nasty fat man.

Actually, that fat guy is not an assistant director at all. He is the owner of a cooked butcher shop. He has some money in his hand, so he likes to find these young girls.

Prostitution in Los Angeles is illegal, and his behavior has been suspected of breaking the law.

Immediately after the agent was also arrested, the HD security person put his head on the police car, and many people only found it very happy.

Seven girls including Luna were taken to the police station for questioning. At this time, the lawyers of the actors’ union showed up and told them that they could help them with the lawsuit and the police interrogated. Wagina admitted his crimes and was declared detained. It is trial and prison.

In the camera, other girls who were victimized asked the lawyer if they could help them. The lawyer simply stated that they only help the actors' union members because they are commissioned by the actors' union.

This is very capitalist.

The audience also felt that there was nothing wrong with it.

Usually you don’t pay, how can you enjoy your rights now?

However, in this way, many people who did not join the actors’ union have thoughts in their hearts. Joining the union is still useful. If something goes wrong, the union will help themselves. It is worth 5% every year.

at last,

The Actors’ Guild’s vice chairman George said to the camera: “This matter will be followed up by the Actors’ Guild. We have hired lawyers to fully protect the rights and interests of our members.”

"Here, the actors' union reminds certain people not to do illegal things. The actors' union will wholeheartedly help all members to solve problems."

"Also remind those newcomers who want to come to Hollywood to find a formal brokerage company to cooperate. If you don't know which brokerage company to look for, you can come to the union. The union can help you recommend it. In the future, the union will review the qualifications of all brokerage companies and launch trustworthy brokers. List of companies, don’t believe those pheasant brokerage companies, they may harm you."

Hardy’s trick can be described as a draw from the bottom of the pan.

With the recommended list of brokerage companies, it may be difficult for small brokerage companies to have room for survival in the future, while large brokerage companies will be more prosperous.

For example, HD brokerage company.

In the future, the garbage pheasant brokerage company will have less and less living soil and will be gradually wiped out, and big companies want to be on the list.

hehe,

Paying fees, investigating qualifications is very labor-intensive.

If you dare to offend the union, then you will never have a chance to be on the list.

When Hardy became the chairman of the actors’ union, he did not fancy the rights of the union, but the actors’ union can become a lever, and he can leverage many things through the union.

Start with the rules of the brokerage company.

The documentary on ABC TV has aroused great repercussions. The actors' union includes film and television actors, reporters, radio celebrities, recording artists, singers, voice actors and other media professionals.

The number of people is more than hundreds of thousands.

The actors' union has only 40,000 people. Why, because they had very limited maintenance of union members before, and now Hardy has punished an agent as soon as he took the stage, which shocked many people very much.

It turns out that trade unions can really be the homes of actors and media people.

For a time,

Many people have submitted applications for membership, hoping to join the actors’ union and get the protection of the union. It is estimated that there will be a rapid increase in membership fees next year.

And those agents have also converged a lot, and their opponents dared not exploit them as they did before, and the atmosphere in Hollywood has suddenly changed a lot.

Because of this incident, Hardy’s reputation has also improved a lot, especially among the artist groups. Various film companies and brokerage companies have once again seen Hardy’s power, and some companies have received a reminder from the union for performance fees. The letter, I didn't care about it before, but now I am so scared to pay it quickly. During this time, many actors received their wages and performance fees in arrears.

You don’t need to use any very powerful methods, it is completely reasonable and legal to play you to death, not only asking for money, but also sending you to jail, there are a few not afraid of it.

The brokerage companies recommended by the union have become popular now. Many people join in admiringly. For example, the number one ‘HD Economic Company’ is a hot spot that people are pursuing. UU reading

Hadi is not embarrassed about this.

This is called Juxian not avoiding relatives.

However, there are also discordant voices. Some people say that the actors' union only dares to deal with small agents and small film companies, but those big film companies still dare not provoke them.

Just a week after the agent incident, another news broke on ABC TV. Actress Gina David asked the Actors Guild for help, saying that during the filming, he was threatened and forced by the contracted director of Columbia Pictures, Luke.

The actors' union will not tolerate such bad incidents and will hire a lawyer to help Gina David file a lawsuit.

Many people were shocked when they saw this news, “The Actors Guild is really amazing, even the eight major Hollywood film companies like Columbia dare to start!”

Someone disdainfully said: "Don't you see who the current Actors Guild chairman is, Jon Hardy, is he afraid of Colombia? This time there is a good show."

Hadi’s purpose in doing this is very clear.

Liwei,

It is not only the actors’ union who is at Liwei, but Hardy is also at Liwei.
