After buying Marvel, I became the king of Hollywood

The beauty at the front desk checked the items in the registration office, and then said:

"Room 0306 on the third floor, your agent is waiting for you."

Speaking of which, the beauty at the front desk seemed to want to say something, her face was a little blush.

"Thank you."

Kevin ignored her expression, and couldn't wait to walk towards the elevator on the third floor. The biggest task of this trip was to convince his manager.

Since 1980, CAA has grown year by year, and now it has become a behemoth with an annual income of over [-] million US dollars.

What CAA needs most is a talented director like him.

All this is caused by the special mode of CAA.

CAA is obsessed with a model called project packaging, and this model is simply a cooperation method centered on the director.

As the director of CAA, after the director proposes a film project, CAA seeks cooperation from major film companies. Due to the scale of CAA, they can often use this to tie in actors, editors, lighting, etc. to the project. Series logistical assistance.

Under such a model, CAA can make good use of every resource of its own to the greatest extent.

Of course, for directors, this is actually a good thing. They only need to create a good movie with their hearts, and CAA can help them solve these chores.

The only unacceptable ones might be the major film companies, but given that CAA already has a lot of resources, as long as their directors have a successful experience, they often have no shortage of investment.

Therefore, CAA has become a strong party instead.

"Kevin!"

As soon as he entered the room, Dawson, as a manager, greeted him with a smiling face.

As a talented director in Southern California, Kevin, no one dared to underestimate him before his real failure, that is, he made a movie and the movie failed at the box office.

Although the chances of success are not very high, there is a chance after all.

"Dawson."

Kevin sat across from Dawson with a smile, and after sitting down, he continued:

"I'm here today for my movie project."

As he spoke, he handed over the project proposal in his hand.

Dawson nodded and took the project proposal.

In fact, the reason why he was able to sign Kevin, who is known as a genius director, was because he had promised Kevin.

As long as Kevin can provide a real and effective film proposal, he will use all his resources to promote the plan.

As a CAA agent at the bottom, he also needs such an opportunity to climb up.

Of course, if Kevin fails, the consequences are equally serious for him.

However, after staying at the bottom of CAA for several years, he is no longer satisfied with his current status, but suffers from the lack of high-end customers in his hands.

Therefore, he tried his best and finally signed with Kevin.

As long as Kevin can get up, he can speak out and use CAA's packaging plan to recommend some potential characters to the crew system.

Of course, the premise must be to sign a contract with CAA.

A high-end director client has the potential to promote him to the position of CAA's five major partners.

For this position, he is willing to give it a try.

Of course, all of this must be feasible for his plan.

With consideration for this project proposal, Dawson looked carefully.

"Chain Saw?"

Open the plan book, and the first thing is the script.

With a deliberate mood, Dawson looked carefully.

Regardless of the story, the standard of the script is completely in accordance with the writing style of Hollywood standards.

Although this point is very simple, in fact, many people who become screenwriters for the first time cannot do this.

From this point of view, Kevin at least paid enough attention to this project, not just fooling others.

The format was fine, and Kevin naturally started looking at the content.

The script is not too long, it's just a few sheets, and the serious Kevin read it quickly.

After reading it, he fell into deep thought.

For a successful movie, there must always be a few characters that are firmly remembered.

As long as the characters in the movie can be vividly engraved in the heart after a few years or even ten years after watching the movie, then this movie can be called a classic.

And in this script, Dawson undoubtedly saw the potential.

In the script, the murderer 'Jigsaw' who controls everything does not kill people for no reason, but with a sense of whether people value their own lives, he specially selects some people who he thinks are guilty or do not value the value of life, and Design various levels for them.

All of his levels leave a way for the test subjects to escape if they pay a certain price.

Many survivors corrected their attitude towards life because of this, and some were even grateful to him, while those who failed the test were cut off a piece of jigsaw puzzle-shaped skin by John as a symbol.

Chapter 3 Strong support from CAA

Such a murderer who has beliefs and teaches people to cherish their own lives is a character that has never appeared in film history.

Judging from Dawson's own experience in the past 30 years, as long as the director's skill is not too bad, this movie will definitely not be a bad movie.

Of course, the box office does not know.

After all, no one knows whether such a character can please the audience.

But Dawson judged from his own experience that this wave was worth a gamble.

After losing the bet, he left CAA and went to work elsewhere.

This is exactly what he wants. He is in his 30s, and he doesn't want to continue to be a low-level agent here. What he wants to be is a partner with only five people in the company.

Success, there is this opportunity.

Failed, he changed places and started all over again.

Kevin, who was calm on the side, looked at Dawson's face and knew that the plan and the script had moved him.

Then the next thing to do is to wait.

Waiting for his agent, Dawson, to find a suitable investor for his proposal.

Of course, before that, all he had to do was to go to the editors' union and the directors' union, file the script with the editors' union and register with the directors' union.

These two things are imperative, one can prevent plagiarism, and at the same time firmly hold the copyright of Chainsaw in one's own hands.

You know, in the future, Chainsaw will release eight or nine movies in a row, and he knows exactly what this means.

For the benefit later, in the first step, he can completely give up part of the benefit, just to master this copyright.

He is confident that he can earn back the loss of the first step several times through this copyright.

"Dawson? Do you think my plan is feasible?"

Kevin asked calmly.

"Of course, you are a talented director I value."

Dawson was not stingy with his praise. In his eyes, Kevin, a talented director, showed his real praise for the first time.

And now, their destinies are also standing together.

If successful, both parties succeed together.

Failure, both sides will fall into the abyss.

But in fact, the consequences are even more serious for Kevin.

Therefore, in this battle, neither side is allowed to fail.

"Next, I will look for people who are interested in your proposal, and you will also make preparations for the shooting in advance."

"Our future fate depends on whether your movie can be successful."

Kevin stood up and shook hands with Dawson. There is no need to say too much, this project means the future of the two, and no one will be lazy on this project.

.........

The next day, early in the morning, Dawson came to the conference room early with the project proposal.

Different from other companies, every agent of CAA is actually a partner of the company, and through a complex salary structure, a powerful special system has been formed to promote the company's progress.

Every star, every client, often connects with a broker team.

Of course, the core of this broker team is often the most trusted broker by clients.

And Dawson also serves many clients, but because he doesn't have any important clients of his own, his status in the company has been unable to improve.

But in terms of income, it is actually not low.

After all, he exists in multiple teams at the same time, and he can get a commission for each team.

This is also the advantage of CAA's internal salary system. If you are capable enough, you can still make money even if you don't have core customers.

It's just that what Dawson now needs more is status.

In the meeting room, dozens of brokers who have not gone out are sitting in their chairs, discussing today's topics.

Michael Ovitz, one of the five partners of the company, is also the most powerful partner on the surface.

The appearance is a typical middle-aged Caucasian male, wearing oval glasses, and the occasional light in the eyes shows that this man is not simple.

In fact it is.

CAA, founded in 1975, has become a behemoth in Hollywood after more than ten years of development.

He holds countless resources in the entertainment industry in his hands.

Looking at the discussion below, Michael Ovitz knocked on the table and made a loud sound.

Everyone else fell silent.

Michael Ovitz began to speak:

"Our CAA, although we have become the most powerful agency company in Hollywood, we still have huge shortcomings."

"If we want those giant film companies in Hollywood to accept our CAA package service, we must have more good directors, directors who can make the film companies make money."

"Only in this way can these giants be forced to make concessions, give up more profits, and allow us and our customers to earn more money."

“…”

After some testimonials about the company's development, it's time to get to the point.

"During these days, have you signed any more potential director clients?"

Accompanied by Michael Ovitz's words, several agents shared their gains one after another.

Seeing the opportunity, Dawson seized the opportunity, handed the plan in his hand to Michael Ovitz, and respectfully said:

"This is the film project proposal of the talented director Steve Kevin of the University of Southern California who signed a contract with me. It includes a horror film script, a series of plans, and the required budget... "

"The problem now is the lack of funding, and I hope CAA will use resources to push this project forward."

"Oh?"

"A talented director from Southern California?"

Dawson's words aroused his slight interest. Looking at the thick plan in his hand, Ovitz opened it with a little interest.

The neat script pattern and the methodical proposal brought him a good impression from the very beginning.

Most new directors don't even know how to do this proposal.

Of course, this is not the job of the director, it is the job of the producer.

However, being able to see this complete plan from a new director is enough to show that this new director came prepared, rather than simply cheating on investment.

With this in mind, Ovitz cheered up and read the script.

Soon, Jigsaw, a villain with his own persistence, attracted his attention, and he quickly realized it.

The script, that is, the story, is the foundation of a script.
