A cup of dark beer was delivered to more than a dozen tables like flowing water, the aroma of barbecue wafted everywhere, and the sound of clinking glasses kept ringing. The busy crew for a long time ushered in a rare moment of relaxation, especially for the boss and director to vomit blood. This refreshing feeling is really rare for the employees of the crew.

In their eyes, Murphy is simply synonymous with miser.

But Bill Rossis, who was sitting at the table with Murphy, didn't think so. In his eyes, Murphy was a man who knew how to make plans.

The importance of planning to a director is self-evident.

I have already talked about the topic of the brokerage business before. After I was full of food and drink, Murphy talked about this again, "Bill, to be honest, I don't need a broker now. What I am shooting is a film that I fully invest in. "

Putting down the wine glass, Bill Rossis raised his finger and shook Murphy, "Yes, your crew has passed the most difficult beginning stage and entered normal operation. The presence of an agent will definitely not help. To your shooting."

He emphasized his tone, "But Murphy, have you ever thought about how the film you make enters the distribution channel?"

Murphy opened his mouth, but said nothing. He had long considered the issue of distribution, and the best way was to go to many Hollywood distribution companies to promote the film.

There is really nothing to say about this kind of method that any person in the industry can think of.

"With my joining, the situation is different." The agents are undoubtedly people who can speak up, and Bill Rossis is no exception. "I'm just an ordinary entertainment agent, but I have a huge company behind me. There are considerable resources in the company that I can use, and you must know the strength and status of my brokerage company in the industry."

When signing with Kerry Mulligan, Murphy knew that Bill Rossis came from a huge entertainment agency empire-CAA!

Bill Rossis continued, "I know a lot of people, even if they don’t count the company’s resources, they also have my own network of relationships, which can help you introduce some distributors’ buyers, and can also help you run the show to independent film festivals. Sell ​​the movie."

Murphy tapped the table top with his right index finger, obviously thinking.

"Presumably you also know very well..." Bill Rossis continued to pursue, "If a film is shot but cannot enter the distribution channel, the meaning of existence is almost zero."

This view coincides with Murphy. Any wonderful film is only the basis for success, and a complete publicity is a necessary condition for blooming glory.

Not to mention the actually mediocre quality of the films he shot, even those recognized classic films, how many of them caused investors to vomit blood due to publicity problems?

He has no qualifications, no network, and no distribution channels. If he can borrow the power of an agent, he will face fewer difficulties after the film is produced.

Murphy is not naive enough to think that the filming is over, he finds several distribution companies and throws out a publicity plan, and the other party will obediently take the bait and sign a fairer distribution contract with him.

That’s what kindergarten children have. Even people who are new to the entertainment industry know how difficult it is to distribute independent Hollywood films.

"Murphy, I cannot guarantee how much resources CAA will invest in you, nor can I make such a guarantee based on my position in the company."

Bill Rossis knows that if you want to impress people like Murphy, it’s better not to talk about it and show enough sincerity to be more effective. "But I will do my best to run this film for you and find a suitable release for it. Channels, so that "Fruit Hard Candy" can really appear in front of the audience, instead of being backlogged in the warehouse."

"Oh, it sounds really tempting." Murphy raised his eyebrows, but relaxed, "There is one thing you need to know. I knocked on Kobe Bryant for over 100,000 dollars. The handler should From your CAA."

"These are not problems." Bill Rossis didn't seem to care at all. "We and sports agents are two completely different departments, and the basketball department is not American football. CAA doesn't take it seriously."

This is an invitation from the agent of CAA. Thinking about the strength and status of CAA in the entertainment agency field, Murphy must be a lie to say that he is not tempted, and it is not unreasonable if he is backed by a big tree to enjoy the cold.

After weighing it for a while, Murphy slowly said, "Let me think about it for a while. I will give you a definite answer before the production of "Fruit Hard Candies" is completed."

Bill Rossis stretched out a hand, "A word is settled."

Murphy slapped his hand, "A word is for sure!"

The two actually have their own ideas. Murphy wants to borrow the resources of an agent with certain qualifications in Hollywood like Bill Rothes, of course needless to say; Bill Rosis's words may not be completely credible, Murphy Signing a brokerage contract with him was nothing more than a potential stock. Murphy finally did not sign the contract. In addition to wasting some saliva, he did not actually lose any money.

Entertainment agents are very savvy roles, how can they make a loss-making business?

What I just said is set, that is, just talk about it.

Of course Murphy also knows this, but with a good agent, there will be fewer detours in the future.

"It's getting late." Bill Rossis looked at his watch and took the initiative to say goodbye. "I have to rush back to Los Angeles and go first."

"Goodbye." Murphy didn't leave him, just reminded, "Bill, return my heroine to me as soon as possible."

"You will see him soon."

Bill Rossis turned and left. Before leaving the rotisserie, James Franco approached Murphy with a large glass of dark beer. He was not welcome and sat directly across from him.

"Cheers!" He touched Murphy's glass on the table and drank a big sip of beer. Murphy picked up the glass and said, "Cheers."

He also took a big sip.

Perhaps it was a bit of overdose, James Franco was a little drunk on his face, "You know, Murphy, in this crew, the person I admire most is you."

"No..." He waved his hand. "Of the people I have met in the past two years, you are the one I admire the most."

"Huh?" Murphy was puzzled.

"Can make a devilish girl play around..." James Franco said in a low voice with the drunken spirit, "You are the best person in the world, don't you deserve to be admired?"

Murphy shook his head, and instead of answering him, he said, "You drank too much, Jim, it's time to go back to rest, and filming tomorrow."

After speaking, he stood up and clapped his hands vigorously, "Well, everyone, I'll be here tonight, go back early to rest, and work tomorrow!"
