"Don't you want to have a broader platform?" Pat Kingsley looked at Matthew and asked rhetorically, "Caa's operating model and resources, looking at the entire Hollywood, no brokerage company can be better than w ..lā”

caa is indeed the leader of the industry, and Matthew knows this very well.

Pat Kingsley added, "Your angel agency can't possibly provide you with better resources. Although your agent, Helen Herman, has worked in caa, she has only learned how to send and receive fur. If it weren't for the network her father, Michael Rosenfeld, had built up back then, would she be able to do what she is now?"

Matthew was just listening, not answering.

He knew last year that Helen Herman's father, Michael Rosenfeld, was one of the five founders of caa, but he was far less famous than Michael Ovitz and Ron Mayer, and caa was strong After getting up, he was also pushed out of the core layer of caa by Michael Ovitz, and now it can basically be said to be retired.

Helen Herman's surname comes from her grandmother, and when he asked, Helen Herman said the reason, similar to Nicolas Cage.

However, he had heard from Amanda before that it involved issues such as the divorce of Helen-Hellman's parents. This kind of family conflict in other people's families was not a lot of questions.

Helen Herman can make the current achievements, and her father's relationship network did play a lot of roles.

But Matthew is well aware that Helen Herman is not what Pat Kingsley said.

Pat Kingsley's words continued, "Matthew, you can look at caa's client list. Eighty percent of Hollywood's best stars are now under caa's banner, and most of them are caa's first-hand managers. They've made it into A-list stars!"

She asked suddenly, "Don't you want to be in the front line? Or become a superstar like Tom Cruise?"

"I want to! I really want to!" Matthew didn't hide it at all, "I dream of becoming a superstar!"

"Has Angel's agency ever produced a superstar? Does Helen Herman have experience with superstars?" Pat Kinsley is very confident. In recent years, after caa escaped the pain of Michael Ovitz's departure, the development of More quickly, poaching can be described as easy and normal, she slowed down, pointed to herself and said, "These, caa has them, I have more!"

Matthew nodded slightly, because Pat Kinsley was right.

The status of caa in the entertainment brokerage industry is obvious, and Pat Kingsley is definitely a first-line super broker.

Frankly speaking, Matthew is still a little moved. Under normal circumstances, between Angel Agency and caa, between Helen Herman and Pat Kingsley, 99% of people would choose caa and caa. Pat Kingsley.

Matthew didn't hide his heart, and Pat Kingsley also saw it and said, "When I just took over Tom Cruise, his position in the industry was roughly the same as yours, and I brought him Superstar position!"

This middle-aged woman's style and temperament are completely different from the relatively restrained type of Helen Herman. "You should know that my cooperation with Tom Cruise is over, and I need a new candidate with sufficient potential. , to fill the void that Tom Cruise left."

Hearing this, Matthew asked tentatively, "Push me to the superstar position?"

Pat Kingsley said very seriously and confidently, "That's it!"

Matthew raised his hand and squeezed his chin. Anyone would say such a thing. Helen Herman is also pushing him to the position of a superstar.

But helping a second-tier star to become a superstar doesn't depend on lip service.

He looked at Pat Kingsley and asked tentatively, "Do you have a specific plan?"

Pat Kingsley came over on behalf of caa, naturally prepared, and said, "caa will make a plan for you. I can tell you briefly."

"Okay." Matthew is interested. If caa is sincere and the plan is suitable for his development, it is not impossible to change jobs, "Let's talk about it."

But Pat Kingsley asked back, "Matthew, what's your biggest weakness?"

Matthew didn't quite understand what she meant, "Cons?"

Speaking of shortcomings, he really has too many, such as greed for money, **** for lust, different appearances, low morals, and even a little bit of profit.

"Stars!" Pat Kinsley said simply, "You lack heavyweight awards!"

She explained, "With your current business appeal, if you can get the Golden Globe Award, the performance award of the three major European film festivals or the Oscar performance award, you will definitely not be a second-tier star!"

Matthew nodded slightly, "You are very reasonable..."

Too bad he didn't want to go this route.

Pat Kingsley didn't know this at all. After all, the awards she said were hugely attractive to most actors.

"Helen Herman is obviously cheating on you." Pat Kingsley is very good at digging people. Some things don't need the other party to immediately believe, but they can plant a seed. Besides, she doesn't say it casually, but carefully Prepare, "Matthew, your current line is too business-oriented, while ignoring awards. Business reflects your appeal, awards highlight style, and these two aspects develop at the same time..."

She smiled and said, "Let's put it this way, Matthew, as long as the Pirates of the Caribbean series can guarantee the box office performance of the first installment, your commercial appeal will not be a problem."

Matthew suddenly felt that the time he spent in the cafe was a waste.

Sure enough, Pat Kingsley talked about caa's so-called superstar program tailored for him, "Caa and I both think that you don't need to take other types of commercial films besides the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series in terms of business. , you should turn your energy to the award, as long as the sequel of "Pirates of the Caribbean" can have the first box office results, you will spend another four to five years to get a heavyweight performance award, superstars are not a problem."

Matthew nodded slightly, feeling that there was no need to talk about it, and said, "I understand."

"You can think about it." Of course, Pat Kingsley did not think that Matthew would be able to give an answer immediately, and said, "I and caa are very sincere, and the commission can be reduced to five percent."

Matthew didn't want to cause too much unpleasant things with caa. The other party has a lot of power in Hollywood, and he vaguely heard Helen Herman say that she wants to go back to caa in the future.

"Very favorable conditions." Matthew would not say what he was thinking, and said rather politely, "Ms. Jinsili, I will seriously consider it."

Pat Kingsley smiled confidently again, "Well, I'll wait for your good news."

After speaking, she handed a business card to Matthew.

Matthew took it, put it away solemnly, stood up and said goodbye, "Let's be here today."

Pat Kingsley also stood up and shook his hand goodbye.

Matthew didn't stop there any longer. When he left the cafe, he vaguely saw paparazzi hiding in the distance to take pictures. He guessed that this meeting between him and Pat Kingsley might be exposed soon.

It is also possible that the paparazzi was arranged by the caa side, through the media to promote him into the arms of the caa.

Most of the small brokerage companies have a hard time keeping stars. Large companies such as caa and William Morris offer generous offers that are often difficult for second-tier stars who have become famous for a while.

For example, if you want to win acting awards such as the Golden Globes and the Oscars, even if you are only nominated, your chances are much higher in a big agency.

Matthew remembered that he had read a statistic that in the last ten years, more than 90% of the most important Oscar awards have fallen into the pockets of clients of several major brokerage companies such as CAA and William Morris.

If he is interested in the best actor Oscar, caa and Pat Kingsley, who ran Nicole Kidman to the top, are indeed good choices.

Getting on the Mercedes-Benz Big G parked on the side of the road, Matthew didn't start the car and left immediately. He sat in the driver's seat and thought for a while. Since he has no intention of switching to caa, he can inform Helen Herman. .uukanshu.com doesn't say anything else, it's just good for his contract with Angel Brokerage.

His first three-year contract with Angel's agency is about to expire. Helen Herman's brokerage ratio was 8% before. Taking advantage of the opportunity of caa to poach the wall, he can completely negotiate in the future. Lower brokerage commissions.

Suddenly, Matthew felt that it was a good thing that someone came to dig him, like William Morris or something, just hurry up and dig him.

In this way, he can easily reduce Helen Herman's agent's fee to 5%.

Thinking of this, Matthew dialed Helen Herman's cell phone directly, and after waiting for it to pick up, he said, "Helen, it's me. Let me tell you something, the famous agent of caa, Pat Kingsley. Just found me."

The voice on the other side of the phone was still calm, "You agreed?"

"No! Of course I refused!" Matthew said righteously, "Am I that kind of person? I have a spirit of contract! You are not only my agent, I also regard you as a partner and a good friend, just caa. How can a small company possibly dig me up?"

Helen Herman over there was silent for a while before saying, "I hope what you think in your heart is the same as what you said on your lips."

Matthew didn't say more, enough words were enough, he chatted with Helen Herman a few more words, started the car, hung up the phone and drove to the place where the office was.

The time is getting closer to the Oscars ceremony, and the plan to prepare is about to begin officially. He is going to prepare to pursue Charlize Theron with all his strength...

It has been more than half a year since the original Stewart-Townsend incident, and there is a window period of more than half a year, and no one will think that he is a third party. )!!
