[US Entertainment] Actor

After listening to Ebert and Leonardo's acquaintance, Lynn said "wow" several times, and his voice was full of exclamation: "No wonder the rumors about you and Leonardo were overwhelming in the media at that time. It was an unexpected coincidence, more amazing than the story of the prisoner who tried to kill his parents and got shot himself, the last time I heard about it was 30 years ago when my parents were still alive."

Ebert retorted in disgust: "The old man should stop emphasizing his age all the time, and save himself a little dignity, okay?"

Lynn squinted at him: "Ebert's little virgin, oh no, little boy, come and tell me this after you get rid of your virginity, okay, you don't have the right to despise me now."

Ebert thought for a moment, and showed an expression of listening carefully to Lynn's admonishment: "I originally planned to buy another car for myself to drive, you know, if there is only one car, there may be many inconveniences in future travel. Necessary trouble, but now that I think about it, one car is enough, I'd better hurry up and get a driver's license."

Lynn's face suddenly wrinkled into a chrysanthemum: "Oh, dear Ebert, I didn't expect you to be such an Ebert! I don't mind you buying an extra car at all. Although this Cadillac is very Okay, but it may not be worthy of your worth, you deserve a better car. Recently, I am stepping up my efforts to buy a house for the elderly in the future, and even gave you the last 5000 dollars to squander!"

The broker began to babble about the painful reality that Ebert lost all his $5000. He had forgotten the fact that he eagerly stuffed the $5000 into Ebert's arms—the old man always habitually Forget about the things that are bad for you.

At present, although the contract between Ebert and Armani and the crew of "Pirates of the Caribbean" allows Lynn to get a considerable share of income, even so, buying a luxury car with a market price of hundreds of thousands of dollars is not an option for him. It is still an extravagant hope that one day in the future, if he can become a big agent like Brian Lauder or Patrick Whitesell, he may be able to imagine the life of a rich man.

In fact, although Ebert, who was signed this year, has a bullish market in Hollywood, Lynn is still an unknown agent. After he quit WME 10 years ago, he joined several brokerage companies one after another, but he has never received too much attention.

Hollywood's current brokerage performance is completely monopolized by the five major brokerage companies. Lynn is now joining Endeavor, a rising star in the five majors, which has only been established for 7 years. Compared with the other big four that pay more attention to movie stars, Endeavor Elite has extended its tentacles to the TV field, which is closer to the daily life of the people. So far, it has mastered more than half of the TV star resources in Hollywood. Although the popularity and income of TV stars are difficult to compare with movie stars, this data is really shocking. .

You know, Jennifer Aniston and George Clooney, who are now firmly in the top positions in Hollywood, are both TV stars!

Lynn had previously signed a few TV artists with mediocre development and mediocre resources, which made him less valued among the Endeavor Elite. There are more and more phone numbers with magazines, and his internal resources in the Endeavor Elite Company are getting better and better. When dividing up resources, his subordinate Ebert is also a priority.

While much of Ebert's rise to fame was luck, no one can ignore Lynn's role in his success.Now Lin En's mailbox will receive several self-recommendation letters from newcomers a week, but he has ignored them for the time being.

Lynn will not put too much energy on other young people until Ebert becomes the front line of Hollywood.Signing Ebert at the beginning was more like a gamble when Lynn was facing a turning point in his career. Fortunately, he won the gamble.The more I get in touch with Ebert, the more fortunate Lynn can feel. Ebert has a unique talent, a willingness to study, no drinking, no clubbing, no bad habits, except for the undisclosed Sexuality, he is simply a natural, flawless actor!

At least occasionally when drinking with the manager of the same company, the other party talked about his manic mood when he was dealing with troubles for the stars under him, Lynn was secretly happy.

---------------------------------

Just as Ebert and Lynn were talking about Leonardo DiCaprio, the Hollywood star, Leonardo and Tobey Maguire were talking about him too.

"Leo, how do you know Albert Dawson?" Tobey Maguire asked jokingly, "Is it true what the media said some time ago, Alaska really has a fun place, why didn't it call Me and Kevin?"

Leonardo and Tobey Maguire were childhood friends, and the two formed a clique of eating, drinking and fun with the likes of Kevin Connolly, Lucas Haas and magician David Bryan "ThePussyPoss", the relationship between the people in the group is quite good, even Tobey Maguire's role as the male lead in "Spider-Man" was strongly recommended by Leonardo.

Leonardo glanced at him: "Of course not, can you believe the bullshit of the media and reporters?"

Tobey Maguire curled his lips: "I'm just curious about the fact that you know Albert Dawson. You look like two people who are completely impossible to have any intersection."

"You know Albert Dawson well?" Leonardo asked back. "Dude, you don't look like the type of person who pays attention to entertainment news."

"Universal and Dreamworks' 'Big Age', remember, the one I told you about that I was interested in. Albert Dawson's agent was looking for him for the leading actor in the movie. , we are likely to be direct competitors." Tobey Maguire explained, "Universal originally liked me as the leading actor, but after the release of "Spider-Man", their attitude became very ambiguous. More money to pay my salary."

"Although Albert Dawson had a bad reputation before, his performance in "White Night" won unanimous praise from film critics, and they all said that in the future he might be like Al Pasi, the leading actor in that movie. Nuo became a powerful actor. I went to the cinema to see that movie, and he really played very well. His salary is not high, and his popularity is very high among young actors. Universal has gradually gained support for him. sound."

The most important thing is that Ebert's appearance is an absolute plus item. Even big companies like Universal and Warner Bros. can hardly ignore the influence of the fan economy.

"What do you think?" Leonardo nodded, "The ownership of the role is ultimately decided by the film company. If you really want this role, you have to show your sincerity."

Although they are good friends with each other, Leonardo and Tobey Maguire's development paths are not similar, and he will not give too much advice in terms of script selection to interfere with Toby's ideas.

"Reduce the salary?" Tobey Maguire scratched his hair angrily, "I'm discussing the salary with Columbia now. If the salary is reduced for "The Pentium Age", the level of "Spider-Man 2" may be very sad. .And Bryan is wrestling with Columbia, and if I hold him back, he might come and fight me."

It's rare to see a friend who is always low-key and optimistic so depressed, Leonardo suggested maliciously: "I always think that the agent is a big trouble, why don't you change it?"

"Oh dear Leo, I'm not you."

Leonardo has fired several agents—in fact, he is also the star most Hollywood agents fear to meet, even if he has become famous, becoming his agent means dealing with countless dollars every day.But all kinds of troubles followed. Leonardo is a very thoughtful actor who has his own route and plan for his acting career. The agent he chooses to shoot has no comment at all. Quan, even most of the time the film company will invite him directly without going through the agent.

Secondly, being his agent requires strong capabilities and resources.As a first-line star, every time Leonardo makes news is tantamount to dropping a heavy bomb in Hollywood. His agent must have the ability to deal with various emergencies, which means he must be professional, experienced and Courageous, but would such a manager be willing to hide behind the actor and be an obedient puppet?

The answer is of course no.

So the topic continued to circle around the relationship between Leonardo and Ebert.

Tobey Maguire now finally understands how Leonardo and Ebert know each other well. He is naturally clear about the relationship status of this friend. Although he and Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen The love is fiery, and this relationship is also the longest of all Leonardo's relationships, but Tobey Maguire is not optimistic about this pair.

He knew Leonardo too well as a good friend.

When Leonardo was just born, his parents had already divorced. Although the divorce of his parents did not affect his life, he never believed in marriage. He did not want to be bound by any woman. His experience in Hollywood development It also made this distrust of marriage even stronger.In essence, Leonardo is a complete idealist. He entered Hollywood when he was young, and he has already seen all kinds of darkness in the circle. After becoming famous, many women are willing to spend the spring night with him.

Some of them are for fame, some are for profit, but when Leonardo easily gave what they wanted, they also made him not believe in love even more.

Hollywood is just too messy, too dirty, too unscrupulous, and too unsuitable for idealists.

So Tobey Maguire could only try to divert Leonardo's attention on the sidelines: "Why don't we go surfing? How about we go to Italy for a while?"

Leonardo just spit out two words stiffly: "Too far."

"Then go to the Lakers game? The Lakers have played well recently. Watching the game can vent your mood..."

"Toby, I'm not broken in love, I'm just bored, don't try to find a way to relax me."

"Okay, okay, I'm also in a bad mood during this time, the two of us can go out together..."

When the two brothers arrived at their destination, the two finally agreed on the next entertainment plan together. Leonardo's choice really did not surprise Toby. He chose to hold a party to relax.

In the proposed invitation list, Leonardo deliberately added the name Albert Dawson.

"Wow, your relationship is much better than I thought!"

"It's okay." Leonardo thought for a moment, and suddenly crossed out Ebert's name again, "I forgot, he should be filming "Pirates of the Caribbean" when the party is held, and he probably doesn't have time to attend."

Tobey Maguire frowned: "This guy's movies always overlap with mine. I always feel that he is sent by God to steal my job. What a trouble!"

"You're so much older than him, Toby!"

"Hey! Leo! What do you mean?"
