[US Entertainment] Actor

It was Emirates, a well-known local tyrant airline in the aviation industry, who approached Lynn.The main business of this domestic airline in the United Arab Emirates is to provide civil aviation services to and from Dubai. In the selection of spokespersons, Emirates has always adhered to the principle of only selecting expensive ones.

In Ebert's previous life, Nicole Kidman, Jennifer Aniston and football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo were all the spokespersons of Emirates Airline, and the endorsement fee started at 500 million US dollars. Although the celebrity endorsement in 2005 The market price has not soared as high as 500 million US dollars, but the behavior of Emirates Airlines, which has always been a local tyrant, is doomed. It is by no means empty words.

Many people in the Western world regard these Middle Eastern local tyrants from Dubai and Abu Dhabi as a typical example of people who come to foolish money quickly, but in fact, relying on spending a lot of money, Dubai, which has no other output except oil resources, is just Ranked among the world's famous tourist cities and international conference venues, for the rich, this is undoubtedly another paradise.And these cities have also changed from a single oil-producing city to a leading city in finance, sports, culture, and tourism. This is actually another way of development.

Just like Emirates, in the face of competition from Lufthansa, Virgin Atlantic, Singapore Airlines and many other airlines, it has always stood at the forefront of the world's airlines. In addition to high capital investment and good service, publicity is also an important aspect. aspect.

In addition to inviting celebrity endorsements, sponsoring teams, sports competitions and various cultural projects are also Emirates' forte.The logo "Emirates" of Emirates Airlines is very familiar to many fans, because this is exactly the words on the jersey of the La Liga giants Real Madrid. Through the sponsorship of Real Madrid, it has gained the attention of billions of people around the world. This business may have cost the airline a lot. Big bucks, but an absolute bargain.

"Why me, I thought they would prefer those big stars with global influence, such as Tom Cruise, George Clooney, Leonardo and so on."

Lynn rested his chin and studied Ebert's face for a while: "Maybe it's because you're handsome? To be honest, if I wasn't a straight straight guy, I might fall in love with you too. Think about it Poor Leonardo, two years ago he was still a vagabond playing in the flowers, the top five diamonds in Hollywood, but now, he can't look at women in the eye."

Ebert touched his bare arm, although there was no wind, he still felt a chill: "Oh, Lynn, your words made me feel sick. Don't worry, even if you love me again, I won't fall in love with you, Because you are old enough to be my father, because your fat belly is almost stretched out from the last button, because you are old enough to pinch the forehead of mosquitoes."

"It's really rhyming, are you interested in writing a song of Lynn?" Lynn has been able to stand still for Ebert's ridicule, "I really want the reporters and other managers to see that their mouths are elegant. What does Ebert, the wise, worry-free superstar, look like in reality. Ebert, I swear, after signing with you, I have gained several more gray hairs."

"White hair is a sign of male aging, Lynn, are you okay?"

"Fuck off!" Mr. Broker thumped the back of the chair angrily, "I've said it eight hundred times, personal attacks are forbidden! If it wasn't for the sake of hundreds of thousands of dollars, I would definitely send you to West Africa to dig Mine. Let’s continue the topic just now. Emirates Airlines invited you to speak for the sake of your cute face. Tom Cruise and George Clooney are old, and they haven’t been too A good work. As for Leonardo, he has been ruining his face for the past two years. Although he has recovered now, Emirates cannot guarantee that he can always maintain a stable image during the contract period. Add an image requirement to the terms of the contract?"

"As for global influence, what makes you feel that you don't have global influence? Although you are a supporting role in "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", you are handsome, the movie box office is high, and most of the movie's box office comes from overseas. To tens of millions of viewers, you are a familiar face, they know you, not to mention "Batman Begins", which is also a good box office overseas, you don't have to worry at all, because Batman never Lack of fans."

"There are two Oscar winner nominations and a Golden Globe winner trophy. Don't you think overseas audiences are fools locked in their own rooms? Do you know where Hollywood's most important market is now? It's China! In the United States According to people's stereotypes, China is underdeveloped and relatively closed, but if this is the case, why does Hollywood expand the Chinese market again and again? Because the media is telling lies."

While driving, Lynn eloquently introduced his advantages to Ebert. There was only one general tone, and he hoped that Ebert would take over the endorsement.

"This is why everyone wants to be a big star. The shooting time of an advertisement can range from a few days to half a day, and the press conference and various activities on the platform will take up no more than a week. But what about the income? , several million dollars, which is enough to occupy one-fifth of a film's salary, but the time spent on making a film is less than one-tenth of a film."

Ebert thought for a moment: "Okay, you give me the contract, and I will give you the answer in two days."

"Okay!" Mr. Manager was so happy that he could fly into the sky, "When there are no movies to shoot, you should get more commercial endorsements. Compared with others, your source of income is too thin."

"I thought a movie's 2000 million salary could satisfy your appetite."

"No, a good agent will never know what satisfaction is. Once he starts to feel satisfied, this is the beginning of his career collapse. Besides, it's only 2000 million, and I don't think your appetite is so small, Ebert, 2000 At best, it’s just a ticket.”

One thing Lynn said is not wrong. Compared with others, Ebert's endorsements are indeed a little less.At the beginning of his fame, he also accepted some very down-to-earth brand endorsements, such as electrical appliances, kitchen and bathroom supplies, but since he won his first Oscar nomination, his endorsements began to be high-end, atmospheric, and upscale The line is gone forever.

In terms of brands, in addition to Armani, which has always maintained a cooperative relationship, there are also endorsements for TAG Heuer watches and a men's fragrance. Lynn is working hard to take over the endorsement of a new model of Cadillac for Ebert, and Emirates Airline, which may sign a contract , Ebert's total endorsement does not exceed 10.

The actor's endorsement has always been more expensive than expensive, and even in order to ensure the actor's sense of mystery, the agent must consider it carefully when finalizing the endorsement contract.What Lynn satisfied most with Ebert was that he fully respected Ebert's opinion. When he selected Ebert's endorsement, he also focused on international brands and high-end products, even though he always criticized Ebert's laziness by making indirect remarks. But in terms of cooperation, he is indeed an excellent and responsible agent.

When the two first established a cooperative relationship, Lynn was still a little young, and he was not calm enough to deal with some things. However, with the rapid development of Ebert's career in the past few years, Lynn not only kept up with Ebert's rhythm, He has also cultivated his own contacts and relationships in Hollywood, at least Ebert has no worries when he takes on movies and attends commercial activities.

With Lin En's support, he can be an actor with confidence.

"However, even if the endorsement of Emirates is included, it will be difficult for you to occupy a place in this year's revenue list. Who told you that you didn't have a movie? Last year was okay, although you didn't rank first, but you Proudly tell the world that you are the richest guy in Hollywood!"

Ebert gave him a cool look: "I never think this kind of list has any value. Remember a technology company I invested in a few years ago, it seems to be going public after a while, and it happens that I hold shares There are more. Compared with my own income, I am more curious about your agent's private list, tell me, how much did you rank in the agent's income list last year?"

"Wow! Ebert, why is your luck always so good? I also invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in the stock market, but the money didn't bring me a dollar of income other than being locked up. I still remember that we were in When shooting an Armani commercial in Europe, you just took a trip to Milan and earned $10,000+ for nothing. I gritted my teeth and gave you $5000 to help me invest, but nothing came out.”

"You can't escape the question by looking back, dear Lynn, tell me, where did you rank last year?"

Lynn stretched out his left hand tremblingly, with his right hand resting on the steering wheel with only one finger emerging: "Sixth, the agents of Johnny Depp and Tobey Maguire both earn more than me, and their subordinates More than one star who makes money. But among all the agents of Endeavor Elite, my income ranks first, so they provide me with more resources... Alas, it’s a pity that you don’t know how to cherish it. Last time I got I don’t know if you’ve read the bunch of scripts I gave you, but I snatched them from Ben Affleck’s agent, do you understand, those are important resources, and resources equal money!”

"I'm watching. If I had to choose, I would only pick the ones with a later date." Ebert patted the manager's shoulder, "I understand you, after all, the meat is on the lips but you can't eat it." The taste is really uncomfortable, but I really don’t have the desire to make movies during this time. This year, there are two promotional films of "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "The Departed". Just a little."

"As we've said before, true success is never about numbers alone."
