All the demands Wayne asked Jimmy to make were extremely in line with his own interests. Regardless of whether Twentieth Century Fox would agree, he would at least have to propose his own ideas through negotiations.

This kind of negotiation itself is not a problem that can be solved in a short period of time. Even some directors or celebrities with relatively high status will have a contract of hundreds of pages when they sign the contract.

Even the treatment you usually have to be clearly stated in the crew, what level of hotel you live in, what kind of nanny car you can use, how many living assistants you can bring, etc., you must discuss it clearly in advance.

What is even more excessive about some big names is that even their pets need special personnel to take care of, and the followers or friends they bring are also responsible for the crew. Therefore, the crew of a mainstream commercial film has always been a battlefield for open and secret struggles for power and profit.

He asked to serve as a producer in order to suppress the staff and avoid the situation where the rights of young crews are out of control.

The hardest thing to talk about is the share of the later stage. Now he is not short of money and has confidence in his videos. He wants to try to participate in the share of the later stage box office, even the share of the incentive nature of the ladder.

The reason why we don’t want to share profits is because we understand the means of these film companies. A film is controlled by a giant from production to promotion and distribution, and the cost cannot be checked at all. The global hot-selling films like Harry Potter are actually in the end. Who can believe it? It’s not to deal with the little actor who signed a profit sharing contract.

The box office share is simple and crude, but this kind of contract is generally given to those directors and stars with status. This can not only save pre-production costs, but also inspire them to do their own work well. Only by successfully performing the film can you get a lot of wealth.

After Jimmy left the apartment, she drove all the way to Century City, but not to the Fox Building, but to her own company caa.

This agency that grew rapidly in the hands of Michael Orwitz can be said to have become the first in the industry. Although there are opponents like ICM, entertainer agency, and William Morris, they basically do not pose much threat to Caa.

Back at his desk, Jimmy sorted out the information. He planned to go to Fox Building early tomorrow morning to start negotiations on new projects. The sooner the film was filmed, the greater the benefits it would be for him.

"Jimmy is about to get off work, why are she still coming back to work at this time?" The person opposite raised his head.

"Director Greenberg's new project review has been approved." Jimmy picked up the water cup on the table, opened the lid and took a sip. "I'm going to work overtime to prepare for negotiations with Fox."

A male agent on the right hand turned his head and said sarcastically: "Jimmy is different from us now, she is a busy man now."

The person on the opposite side also echoed: "Jimmy is really busy."

"Stephen, stop joking me." Jimmy put down the cup and said to the opposite side: "I'm going to be terrified of worry now."

He ignored his sarcastic colleagues on his right hand. They were all small agents who had just left the mailroom. If someone performed well at work, some people would always feel unhappy.

The agent named Stephen opposite said in an obviously envious tone: "I want to be as busy as you and worry about work, but unfortunately I don't have the chance."

Not only actors and directors are waiting for opportunities in Hollywood, but also their agents, all waiting for opportunities to make themselves stand out.

When they heard the word opportunity, most of the colleagues around them looked at Jimmy with distorted eyes. They would not think about what Jimmy had done for work, they would only think that he had lost his luck.

"Jimmy, have you heard of it? Some partner suggested that you give you a separate office, and I think you will leave this small grid soon."

"Is that so? Sorry, I've been too busy during this period and haven't paid attention to these news." Jimmy smiled and broke through. He knew about this matter. It won't be too long. Just next Monday, he has his own news channel.

Looking at Jimmy, who was tired and energetic around her, and the colleagues chatting around her, the jealousy in her eyes spread like a virus. Jimmy knew this feeling, and he had also looked at others with this kind of eyes.

But now he has changed. Others think that he has stepped on shit. Not only are he young stars like Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke, but his most important client is Wayne Greenberg!

Everyone has several such director clients. Everyone has potential, but 99% of them are ordinary people. They will disappear like all the guys who come to Hollywood to pursue their dreams.

But now let’s look at it. Jimmy has a directorial client with a box office of over 70 million in North America and a box office of over 100 million in the world. These make the colleagues around him who once came out of the mailroom together drool and jealous.

A successful director client is enough to change the fate of an agent. Just think about how many actor clients can be put into the videos he shoots, and you can wake up the laughter.

Jimmy actually felt uncomfortable, such as Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawk. They just became famous, and the company arranged a co-management broker and cross-management services.

In this way, four to six brokers will manage services. This is a hard and rigid regulation of Caa. First, provide better services for customers, and second, increase the cost of brokers' job-changing, especially taking customers to job-changing, which has become basically impossible.

So his focus is Wayne now. As long as he grasps this new director, he will be afraid of nothing.

"Jimmy, come to my office and have something to talk to you about." The phone rang at the table, and the partner in charge of the TV and film business, Wright Lauder.

"Your opportunity is here, Jimmy, good luck!" Stephen opposite him whispered. He was a rare agent with a stable mindset.

Arriving on the third floor, Jimmy knocked on the door and walked into Wright's office and sat in front of the other side. "Boss, what's wrong?"

"You are doing well in Wayne Greenberg's business!" Wright looked at the novice agent, and no one expected that he would have a director client of 100 million yuan. He still remembers when Jimmy went to school to sign a director, and when he came back, he was ridiculed by the entire office.

"That's Wayne did it well himself, to be honest, I didn't expect it." Jimmy said cautiously. "He's not only his prospects, and he will soon start a new project with Twentieth Century Fox."

But Wright did not continue to talk about the project and suddenly said: "The company has prepared a new office for you. You can also use the relationship network and resources that the company now has. I hope to see the day you become a partner."

Jimmy knew that his importance would be greatly improved. When he went to school to sign a contract with the young director, his stupid behavior would immediately bring him greater rewards!

"Thank you, I will work hard to do it." Jimmy said confidently.

Wright leaned his hands on the table, looked at Jimmy with his body leaning forward, and asked in a casual tone: "I heard that Wayne Greenberg is still signing an internship contract now?"

This sentence immediately alerted Jimmy. "I will hurry up and talk to him about the new contract issue, but this matter will be put after negotiations with Twentieth Century Fox. Now Wayne only cares about his new project."

"You have to do this matter quickly." Wright understood it and leaned back to the chair.

Jimmy nodded seriously. "I will!"

"Don't be careless, Jimmy, every client may leave his agent at any time." Wright patiently told him his experience. "Anything that causes dissatisfaction with customers may become the reason for him to hype you. And I heard that IM is very interested in Wayne, and maybe he will intervene and steal your client."

The boss's words aroused Jimmy's vigilance. Any director who earned $70 million in North America would be coveted by other companies.

"I will give you the greatest support, don't worry. If there are any difficulties, you can speak at any time." Wright's tone became close, as if Jimmy had a good relationship with him.

This sentence sounded the alarm in his heart, and his heart was constantly sinking. If there was no accident, Wayne, who had signed a new contract, would definitely have a few more co-management agents.

The reason is very simple. Wright's subtitle means, don't be afraid. If other companies compete with you, I will send a few more people to help you.

"There is no problem for the time being. Boss, Wayne and I have a very good personal relationship. No unexpected situations occur. Other companies can't poach him." Jimmy can't do much, and even if he manages the service strategy, he can't stop it, but there is one thing that no one can compare to.

Wayne trusts him, and their personal relationship, because of the recent collaboration of the release of the video, has developed very well. This is very important. As long as this relationship and trust are still there, no one can take Wayne away.

All he lost was some money gains. Even if he had a special strategy for caa, the commission for four people was much less than that of one person.

"That's it, boss, I'll go to work first, and I have to work overtime to sort out the information and prepare for negotiations with Twentieth Century Fox." Seeing that Wright had nothing to explain, Jimmy stood up and took the initiative to say hello and leave.

After leaving the door and returning to his desk, everyone else had already gotten off work, Jimmy sighed deeply.

What else can he do about co-management services? The company has always had this system, not for him alone, and Wayne did his first project too well. Even a giant brokerage company like Caa cannot ignore his achievements.

An investment of one million US dollars, a box office of over 100 million US dollars worldwide, there is still room for growth in the future, and many remote areas have not been released. How big is the return on investment? More than one hundred times!

Even in the classic Hollywood investment cases, this is the kind that can rank first. For such a director, not to mention whether his shooting and production level has improved in his next film, as long as he can maintain the level of "Happy Death Day", the various companies he wants to cooperate with will rank from Los Angeles to New York in the future.
