Chapter 760 760 Scorpion Crossing the River
"Didn't I already enjoy these treatments before I won the award?" Hugo said frankly in the face of Pedro's question, which made everyone stunned, "I have already received a thousand dollars before. The five million-dollar salary invitation, and now it will be doubled after winning the award? Then this salary is really... Maybe I will really be moved."
Hugo's ridicule made everyone laugh. One movie would be paid $30 million. Even in 2014, this price was sky-high, not to mention when no one entered the $20 million club. In the early 1990s, this salary was completely unrealistic. So, Hugo's answer is the best answer.
Although it is said that the actor's worth will increase after winning the Oscar, but Hugo's situation is very special. After "Sleepless in Seattle" last year, Hugo's salary has actually risen to the level of 10 million, and he has made three consecutive blockbuster movies. It was enough for the production company to make a decision, and the success of "Schindler's List" gave everyone confidence in Hugo.
Therefore, no matter whether Hugo gets the Golden Man or not, his appeal at the box office is always optimistic. Now that Hugo has won the Golden Man, this proves his strength even more, which also makes the major production companies feel Hugo's confidence is more firm, maybe the salary will not continue to rise, because 15 million is indeed the top price at present - unless Joseph as an agent has the courage to break the shackles of the entire industry and shout out 2,000 The salary of 10,000 yuan, but history has also proved that only innovative artist brokerage companies have this ability, and their collective strength is the key to breaking through the 20 million yuan bondage.
Perhaps, after this, the major production companies will be more determined in their pursuit of Hugo and provide Hugo with more choices, but there will be no earth-shaking changes in terms of remuneration and treatment.
"Can't Joe get this treatment?" The question was Neil. He had no idea about movies, so the 15 million and 30 million salaries were just a set of numbers for him. He didn't think that What a huge gap, anyway, the actors' remuneration is incredible.
Joseph stood beside him, stunned for a while, then he smiled and shook his head, "No, I don't have this ability." In fact, they didn't know that after Joseph and Hugo ended in April, Joseph decided to serve as Hugo manager.
But this is also the case. In the current situation, let alone Joseph, even top agents like Ron Meyer, Martin Baum, and Roland Parkin cannot break the 20 million mark by their own strength. Remuneration barriers, which must be done at the right time and relying on the overall strength of the creative artist agency.
Karl stood beside him, also smiling happily, "It is estimated that no agent has this ability now. It is not so easy to break through the 15 million salary." Karl looked at Neil and explained, "If you really want to To break this limitation, it is estimated that it depends on the creative artist agency."
The creative artist agency is familiar to anyone in the circle, and everyone suddenly realizes it. "By the way, mention them. Recently, they started to contact Charlize and Alex." Karl suddenly thought of this and immediately brought it up.
Unexpectedly, Carl's words seemed to open a Pandora's box, and Pedro was the first to shout, "They also called me, but three."
"I received it too." Alfonso said loudly while sitting on the pool table.
"And me." Neil also raised his hand in amazement. At first, everyone thought it was just a trivial matter, and they didn't take the initiative to mention it, but today I accidentally discovered that it was not a trivial matter at all.
In an instant, everyone saw Fu Jin's body, Fu Jin drank the coffee shyly, noticed that everyone was watching and didn't care, slowly raised his eyes, and then shrugged, "I also received."
Hugo was stunned when he heard the words of his band members, then turned to look at Charlize and Alex, "Did they contact you directly?"
Both nodded, and Alex said, "They also arranged a meeting, right in the studio, and I couldn't even dodge, so I was blocked."
Charlize also reluctantly said, "Me too, they blocked me twice, and I wondered if they were following me."
Hugo's eyes couldn't help but glance at Joseph. Joseph and Carl had very similar expressions. They didn't know much about it, and they didn't know what the hell the Creative Artists Agency was doing, but Hugo knew.
When people mentioned the creative artist agency in 2014, scorpion crossing the river and barbaric circle people were words that could not be ignored. In fact, both the former and the latter are describing their uncompromising means. They control almost every aspect of the entertainment industry and invade every aspect of the entertainment industry in a brutal and unreasonable way.
Take an NBA deal that shocked the world in 2010 as an example. The three giants gathered together with the Miami Heat. This shocking deal was facilitated behind the scenes by the Creative Artists Agency. It is also known as the most successful and typical deal in recent years. business operation.
At that time, LeBron James (LeBron. James), Chris. Bosh (Chris. Bosh), Dwyane. Wade (Dwyane. Wade), these three giants completed the gathering in the Miami Heat. In order to complete this transaction, the Creative Artists Agency first contacted the Heat team and reached a consensus to let him remove a large part of the Heat team's players and free up funds to welcome the arrival of James and Bosh. Join Wade, who is already in the Heat.
For the innovative artist agency that dominated in 2010, LeBron James is undoubtedly the biggest problem.
Anyone who is familiar with LeBron knows that he has three particularly good hairpins. After LeBron entered the creative artist agency, these three people were placed to train in several NBA teams. They all have positions and can work in The NBA gets to work. LeBron is just a player, and if you want to get him, you have to get the three guys who run various brokerages for him.
This situation is very common among black players. They all have best friends who grew up together. These best friends will be responsible for the brokerage of black stars. As long as they are persuaded, they are equivalent to persuading the players.
At the same time, Jay-Z, the hip-hop king who has been idolized by countless black people, including LeBron, has also entered the attention of the creative artist agency. Jay-Z is already the top figure in the music world. He has his own brand and his own business empire in New York. The reason why LeBron is more business-minded than other players is because he is imitating his idol. Mentioned more than once, "Jay-Z was my mentor."
In addition to these people, the Creative Artists Agency also noticed a person named William Wesley (William. Wesley). To the outside world, William has no official identity around LeBron, just LeBron's Just a close friend, but he is the best insider in the entire league. He knows almost everyone, and everyone loves him. His connections make him seem omnipotent.
After figuring out the key figures, the Creative Artists Agency started work. All three of LeBron’s friends signed with the Creative Artists Agency, as did William, and LeBron’s agent also completed the contract before. As for Jay-Z, under the persuasion of Creative Artists Agency, LeBron was persuaded not to join the New Jersey Nets who kept throwing olive branches to it - even though Jay-Z himself was one of the team's owners.
After getting these people, LeBron, who had become a superstar in 2010, finally agreed to join the Creative Artists Agency, and after the Cleveland Cavaliers lost the NBA Eastern Semifinals in 2010, William and LeBron's agents Ren and his three juniors teamed up to denounce the Cleveland Cavaliers coach in front of LeBron—the coach who was asked to be fired by LeBron a year ago. So, LeBron decided to leave the Cleveland Cavaliers.
As for LeBron's next home, there is no suspense, everything developed according to the script of the creative artist agency, and the Miami Heat successfully got this little emperor.
From the entire transfer process of LeBron James, we can see the ability of the creative artist agency. They are every step at a time, and they fight seven inches. In order to get LeBron, in order to complete the transfer of the Miami Heat, although the frontal breakthrough of LeBron is almost impossible It was impossible, but they started with friends around LeBron and finally completed this business transaction that shocked the world.
Humans have weaknesses, and as long as they have needs, they will have desires. Hope, that's the weakness. Maybe the client is impeccable, but his trust in friends, relatives, and mentors is the weakness.
Even though LeBron has no idea about the Miami Heat, Creative Artists Agency is using their abilities, using the resources in their hands, using the benefits they can provide, to convince all of LeBron's friends that it is best to join the Miami Heat. After completing the defeat of LeBron's friends one by one, he finally convinced LeBron, which is a matter of course.
In today's event, Hugo remembered this method of the Creative Artists Agency.
For Hugo, because his soul is traversal, he has always been clear about what he wants, and the main reason is that he can make accurate judgments on each work. Under such circumstances, the creative artist agency was not very attractive to him. To be precise, the role of the agent to him was not too big. Compared with choosing an agent, Hugo would prefer to choose a friend.
That was the case with Joseph before, and the same goes for making Rick Rosen the No. 1 pick in the future.
Therefore, it is almost an impossible task for the creative artist agency to break through Hugo. However, the friends around Hugo are not Hugo. Their weaknesses are more obvious and easier to break through, and they are Hugo's weaknesses.
