Chapter 1452: Fame is out
Jon was palpitations and his palms were sweating. He couldn't believe that he and Scott were trying to blackmail the man in front of him.
Their all IQs of the two of them still cannot shake Ansen when they add up. If you are not careful, they may turn around and be sold by Ansen.
At some point, Jon thought, and directly found Anson's idea. Was it all wrong from beginning to end?
The heartless Scott blurted out without his words passing through his mind.
"We tried, we tried, we tried, we tried it all, but all failed; then, Jon thought of you."
"Let's be realistic, you are willing to give the "butterfly effect" opportunity, you are willing to give the "walking with songs" opportunity, we believe you should also be willing to give the "hangover" opportunity."
"The original plan was to directly look for Edgar Cook, but Adriana disagreed..."
The words, before they finished speaking, were interrupted by Jon, "Scott!"
Jon looked at Scott with horror, then turned to Anson and showed a panicked smile, "Anson, don't listen to Scott's nonsense, I can explain, you can listen to me."
Anson gently raised his jaw, but smiled without saying a word, looking like "I didn't stop you so please explain."
Jon was bathed in Anson's sight and was stunned: Uh...
How should this be explained?
Luckily, Anson did not really force Jon to explain. The corners of his mouth were raised gently, his smile bloomed completely, and his speech was slowing down. "It seems that there should be many rumors in Hollywood now."
"Forest Pictures has a reputation. We are willing to open our arms to accept different possibilities. We welcome directors, screenwriters, actors, and producers to make attempts. The news has gradually spread. This is a good thing."
Next, if Lucas can successfully discuss the "City of Sin" project and Forest Pictures invests in projects not starring Anson for the first time, their reputation will further spread, and everything will be as Anson expected.
"At the same time, I am also famous, a demon."
Jon felt that he could not breathe, "Ansen...Ansen! Things are really not what you imagined."
Ansen waved his hand, saying that he didn't mind, and that he was not planning to pursue it. "You don't need to worry about what Adriana and I are. What you should worry about is the relationship between you and Adriana. After all, you are friends, I am not."
This is the truth.
In fact, Anson can guess something about "Adriana" without asking.
Earlier, Edgar had mentioned to Anson that William Morris's agency encourages competition, and even within the same company, they are competitors, survival of the fittest and the law of the jungle.
In the past two decades, innovative artist brokerage companies have become the leader in the industry by relying on top-down united "bundle sales", completely changing the working model of the Hollywood brokerage industry, and even won the top praise of "Hollywood has two people, CAA and others".
Naturally, some people ask why other brokerage companies do not replicate the working model of innovative artist brokerage companies?
Because this model cannot be replicated, the background of the times needs to be considered behind its success.
Later, Michael Ovitz, who created this cooperation model and reached its peak, left the innovative artist agency and went to Disney as president but suffered a crushing defeat in just one year. After leaving, he opened a separate agency and returned to his own business.
In Michael Orwitz's view, he once created the glory of an innovative artist agency with his own hands. Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman, and Julia Roberts' successes were all accomplished by him; he even promoted Sony to acquire and merge Columbia Pictures, so now he can replicate this success again.
Facts have proved that this is not the case. Michael Orwitz declared bankruptcy for less than three years after persisting in the same model and system.
Innovating the artist brokerage company model has only succeeded this time. So, over the past few years, despite the huge impact of innovative artist agency on Hollywood, no other companies have followed suit.
William Morris, who insists on the traditional old style, still has a firm foothold. They are still the undisputed second-in-command in Hollywood.
So, a familiar situation emerged.
Inside William Morris, the "Anson Wood" tree attracts wind, bringing great attention to Edgar, and also establishing countless enemies for him.
After all, Edgar is a newcomer without a foundation. He relies soaring to the top of the pyramid in a short time. The encirclement and attacks he faces are no less than Ansen, even within the company.
Open guns are easy to avoid, but hidden arrows are difficult to prevent.
A situation like Adriana's back-stinging Edgar inside the company has already happened, and more than once or twice. Although Edgar never complained to Anson, Anson has also heard rumors when working in the crew, and the actors in Edgar's hands were snatched away by other agents.
The situation where agents conceal information from each other and compete for roles and projects is even more daily, and there is nothing to be surprised about.
It is precisely because of this that Edgar must now continuously expand his influence, continue to build connections and circles, with the goal of forming his own channels-
In the new era, news is capital, and Edgar must keep his eyes open and listen to all directions, and grasp the overall situation as much as possible in the fierce competition where the bayonet is full of passion.
So, Anson doesn't need to ask about Adriana at all, he can roughly infer the context; and he is not going to ask about it either.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
There is a battlefield between agents.
Today, the same is true.
Jon and Scott came to find Anson, did Trepp know? If Trip knew, what about Adriana?
The ones who really need to face Adriana should be Jon and Scott, not Anson.
Among these intrigues and strife, Ansen should be the relaxing person. What he needs to focus on is that this project is just this project.
Ansen threw a stone, causing ripples in Jon's heart, but Ansen did not give Jon more time to think and ferment, and then pulled the topic back. "Okay, even if Trip failed and could not attract producers, what about you? You should have your own channels, right?" "Or, is this the first work of your two of you in their careers?" "Scott subconsciously prepared to speak, but this time he finally had a memory and glanced at Jon. Today, because of his impulse, he really disrupted a lot of plans.
However, Jon was immersed in his thoughts and did not respond.
Scott didn't care. Anyway, he had asked, "No, of course not, how could it be possible." After a pause, his words seemed to lack some confidence and a little guilty, "This is our second work."
The second part?
"Ha." Ansen chuckled directly, "This is right, indeed, it is not the first part."
