71 Chapter 71 Officially Achieved (Seeking Recommended Collection) (1/2)

Unlike producers who can take care of their own work, directors, screenwriters, actors, etc., all need to deal with the film company, then a series of affairs such as contract, box office dividends, interest competition, studio power, etc., also include work contacts and chores. Handling, media public relations, etc., these things are all with the help of an agent.

This may not be a necessary choice, but it is the most correct choice.

After all, one's energy is always limited, and one's abilities are also limited. There are some things that can't be easily solved by a single person.

The emergence of brokers or brokerage companies is very necessary. They are very professional and know how to deal with the departments of major film companies. The abundant resources in their hands can also provide better needs for customers.

Of course, Lehman doesn't need those, he just wants an expert who can help him deal with trivial matters at work, or communicate and negotiate issues.

So, yesterday, after the verbal agreement with Kevin Hoween was reached, Lehman commissioned a lawyer, and the two came to CAA's headquarters-a commercial building in Century City.

Walk into the elevator and go up to the eighth floor.

After exiting the elevator and explaining their intentions to the front desk staff, the two followed into a large and luxuriously decorated reception room.

Not long after, relevant CAA personnel also walked in.

Lyman sat on the left side of a long conference table and turned to the last page of the contract.

After confirming that it was correct, under the guidance of the lawyer Joey next to him, he slid his name in the blank space where he needed to sign.

After the two-part contract was signed, Lehman exchanged contract documents with Kevin Hoween and Brian Lauder, who represented CAA.

At this moment, the videographer waiting on the side seized the opportunity to press the shutter of the camera in his hand to record this scene.

”It's a great honor for us to reach an agreement with Director Lehman to sign this economic contract.” One of the five senior leaders of CAA, the big bald Brian Lauder, smiled and looked very happy. ”CAA welcomes you like you. Of young talents joined our big family!”

Lehman shook hands with him amicably, then smiled and said, ”I am also very honored to be able to join the embrace of CAA.”

What the scene said, who wouldn't say it, don't think you can look very kind if you shave a big bald head.

The agreement can be reached because everyone thinks it is feasible after analyzing the pros and cons. Otherwise, can this happen?

After the cameraman finished taking the photos, he voluntarily left the reception room, and the lawyer Joey on the side was also respectfully invited out by Kevin Howien.

It seems that the next step is to arrange specific affairs personnel, and Lehman has also investigated these.

CAA, also known as an innovative artist agency, was established in 1975. The legendary miracle is Michael Ovitz. He has personally led CAA for 20 years. With his extraordinary personal charm and business ability, CAA has been transformed from a start-up unknown. Become the industry leader.

This ambitious wage earner was first a member of the William Morris agency. Later, he couldn't stand that the company system was too conservative. Young people like him who were hardworking and motivated couldn't get in the position at all. The senior brokers stood on top of each other. When the little brother worked hard every day to work overtime, it was not himself who made it, so the hard and hot days made him reluctant.

Ovitz began to whine in private with the other three talented brokers of the company every day, until he met another ”anti-boned boy” Ron Meyer, and Meyer urged everyone to go out and stand on their own.

They hesitated at first, but decided to go to the bank to try if they could get the loan, but they didn’t expect that the person in charge of the bank was a good friend of the company’s CFO, so these five unlucky plans were discovered before they started. , And were fired by the company's senior management.

When the road broke, these few were also ruthless. The company didn't even have a business license, so they dared to fool others into saying that they were a formal brokerage company.

With hard work and a certain amount of luck, they gradually become bigger and stronger, and since their founders started by ”rebellion” and digging walls, they have designed a set of special rules for the management methods of their employees and artists .And these systems have been used to this day.

Including:

First, everyone is equal. Every broker can be called a partner of CAA instead of an employee. There is no sign in the office, and the payroll is arranged in alphabetical order. Second, there is no single exclusive broker for each client. All have to arrange 4 to 5 brokers to be responsible for service work in order to prevent brokers from taking their customer resources to invest in other houses; third, income classification, as long as there is strength, there is no limit on annual income, how much can you earn , All rely on their own ability; fourth, it is the famous packaging service, using the resources in hand, packaging into a variety of resources needed for production.

Not long after the clearing, four more CAA subordinates entered the reception room.In this way, it was his agent team. Just as Lyman was looking at it secretly, Kevin Hoween took the initiative to introduce it.

”This is Johnson Brandon, responsible for media communication and your daily life service.”

”This is Brown Kaliman, responsible for literary creation, and can also choose the right script for you.”
