Chapter 1210 1210 The Third Strong Aid

Hugo never thought of taking credit, not because his clues were hidden, but because he never helped Michael with the idea of ​​utilitarianism. Anyone with a righteous heart can't bear to see this unjust case being brought into the coffin with the client, not to mention that the client is Michael Jackson, the unique Michael Jackson.

So, after the truth came out, Hugo never gave any interviews, even if Nicholas of "Los Angeles Times" called, Hugo refused to interview, so that all clues stopped in doubt, and then completely dissipated in the process of communication .

However, Hugo did not expect that Michael actually knew the truth.

"Me? Why don't I know?" Hugo could only pretend to be stupid, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said suspiciously, "Could it be that I also have a share of the credit? This is a great honor. So am I right? I should be thankful that my foresight was so accurate." After speaking, Hugo laughed.

Michael couldn't find a flaw in Hugo's expression, he even forgot what an excellent actor Hugo was.

But for Michael, he didn't need answers, as if Dawes-Carter never asked Hugo how the hell he got to know Chandler and Ammital, they were smart people; important The only thing is that he knew that Hugo was behind the scenes, and that was enough.

Perhaps, this hidden truth will never be made public, but for the real insider, Michael Jackson. prostitution. Behind the children's case, people feel the power of Hugo. This is also the insiders once again really feel Hugo's huge appeal as a superstar.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. It was obviously the waiter who came to serve the food. Michael chuckled lightly, and took this opportunity to change the subject and didn't go any further, "Please come in!"

The door of the room was opened, and two waiters walked in with their heads lowered, and walked over with their plates without looking sideways. One was in charge of serving the dishes, and the other was in charge of serving the dishes, "Mr. Jackson, this is the tomato you ordered. Cold soup; Mr. Lancaster, this is your Nice Salad." He staggered to the table and placed the appetizers in front of the two of them, "Please enjoy it slowly." back out.

From beginning to end, neither of the two waiters looked at Hugo and Michael directly, but they maintained their etiquette and did not feel offended at all. It is admirable to be so well trained. In the Vanity Fair of Hollywood, smart people are always everywhere.

Michael and Hugo both picked up their knives and forks and began to enjoy their own appetizers. Michael then said, "I actually came back to Los Angeles some time earlier. I have other things that I have to come to the United States to deal with." Michael glanced at Hugo. , did not pause, and said directly, "I plan to change the brokerage company."

Hugo was not surprised. He remembered that at this point in history, behind the many snubs of Sony Columbia Records, there may not be a reason why the agency was not strong enough. Michael is currently affiliated with the Creative Artists Agency, a Hollywood agency that includes almost all the top stars, such as Steven Spielberg, Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Opp La Winfrey, Michael Jordan and others, their current brokerage contracts are all under the Creative Artists Agency.

"William Morris?" Hugo enjoyed the salad in front of him, looked at Michael and then said, he didn't know why Michael suddenly brought this up, thinking it was just a chat between friends.

Michael's reaction to Hugo was a little surprised, "Why do you think it's William Morris?"

"The internal organization of the International Innovation Management Company is still unfinished." Marvin Josephson is a good businessman, but he is not a good broker. This has been proved at the beginning of the company's establishment, and it will be the same again. Many senior agents such as Rick Rosen and Ali Emmanuel not only lacked management talents, but also lost the resources behind the connections of senior agents-don't forget, when Rick left Thanks to Hugo's reminder, he successfully brought out all his information, "and I don't like the atmosphere there; then it seems that William Morris is the first choice, although they now have a company There is still some internal struggle, but I heard that they managed to poach the corner of the creative artist agency not long ago, so it seems that the strength should be good.”

1994 and 1995 were a turbulent period for brokerage companies, and it goes without saying that the International Innovation Management Company, of course, was in the middle of the night. The change almost cost them nearly one-third of their resources; and the creative artist agency was hit hard. Their founder Michael Ovitz left the company and jumped to Disney. After the company fell into chaos, important customers They were poached one after another, and Jay. Maroney, a partner who was hastily promoted to management, began to suck because he couldn't bear the huge pressure. Poison, was fired in March, and then committed suicide.

Even the power turmoil within the William Morris agency, while not as fierce as the other two rivals, has distracted them a lot. However, they still took advantage of the situation and robbed several heavyweight stars such as Whoopi Goldberg and Sylvester Stallone from the Creative Artists Agency.

This is also an important reason for the rapid rise of Endeavour Elite Brokerage in the past year, not only because Hugo, Tom Hanks and other actors are prosperous, but also because competitors are too busy and have no time to concentrate to suppress. It can be seen from the passing process of the "Mission Impossible" project and the "Seven Deadly Sins" project that the Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company is still small and broad, but it is still a preliminary glimpse of the layout capability of the Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company.

When the competitors came to their senses one after another, Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company already had the strength to fight. So, a year really turned upside down.

If Michael wants to change the brokerage company, relatively speaking, the still stable veteran king William Morris brokerage company is definitely the right choice.

After Hugo finished speaking, he saw that Michael's expression was quite playful, which made Hugo stop putting the tomato in his mouth, frowning and thinking, "You won't tell me, you want to go to United Elite Brokerage company?"

As mentioned earlier, United Elite Brokerage Company was formed by the merger of two strong and deep-rooted medium-sized brokerage firms in 1991. After just four years of development, it has become a leader among the second-tier brokerage firms. Just look up to the three major brokerage companies.

The United Elite Agency has good strength in the fields of music, TV series and movies. At present, stars such as Harrison Ford, Sting, Laura Dern (Laura. Dern) are under their banner, and they also own "Seinfeld" This classic comedy is consistently among the top five in the nation's ratings.

United Elite Brokerage Company can be said to be the biggest competitor of Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company at present. Since the three major brokerage companies are all giants, the market of other small and medium-sized brokerage companies is very limited. Don’t look at United Elite Brokerage Company as a big name. There are not as many Endeavour Elite brokerage companies, but their heritage and lineup are far better than Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company.

Every brokerage company wants to catch up with the three major brokerage companies, but the premise is that they can make a breakthrough in the market of small and medium-sized brokerage companies. At present, Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company is rapidly approaching United Elite Brokerage Company in just one year by relying on the powerful star effect.

Objectively speaking, the United Elite Agency is indeed strong - otherwise, it will not become one of the top agencies in the next few short years, but for the current Michael, the temple is still a little small. Of course, a small temple also has the advantages of a small temple, at least the resources will be tilted towards Michael - just like the current Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company, almost more than two-thirds of the resources are for Hugo, Tom, Clint, Al This group of top artists serve.

Michael smiled and asked back, "Why not?"

Hugo also laughed, "If you want, there is no way." In fact, for an artist of Michael's level, the manager is not the decisive link at all, because their own appeal is enough. However, Michael has just ushered in the truth and is preparing to release a new album. The operation of the manager and the cooperation of the record company are still very important.

Michael put down the spoon in his hand, "I'm curious, why haven't you mentioned Endeavour Elite Agency?"

Hugo looked at Michael puzzled, but then he reacted, he couldn't help but froze for a while, then shook his head with a smile. To be honest, Hugo really didn't think about Endeavour Elite Agency just now. Michael is different from Joanna Rowling and Leonardo DiCaprio before. One of them is a nobody and the other is a potential star. He joined Endeavour. Elite brokerage companies focus on the future; while Michael is a top superstar, Hugo never thought of pulling this great god into their small temple.

"Maybe this means that I'm not suitable to be a businessman." Hugo said mockingly, and then took a serious look at Michael's expression and pondered, "Michael, you... do you want to come to our company?"

Instead, Michael didn't answer. He smiled and lowered his head to enjoy his cold tomato soup. He hung Hugo in the air, not going up or down, feeling really uncomfortable. Hugo's eyes scanned back and forth between his salad and Michael's bowl of cold red soup, but he didn't know what to say: persuade Michael to join the elite agency? Or should I be altruistic in advising Michael to go to William Morris Agency?

"Hugo, you know, true friends can tell the truth." Michael didn't look up and whispered, "Aren't you going to tell me about your company?"

"Uh... Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company is... a potential stock brokerage firm with extremely wonderful prospects?" Hugo was not prepared at all. When he was in his own company, Michael raised his head.

I saw Michael tap his chin lightly, as if he was thinking seriously, and then said in a long voice, "Your company sounds really good, which makes me yearn for it."

Does this work?
