"Bill," Murphy looked at Bill Rossis, "You mean packaged service?"

CAA's one-stop package service is well known to Hollywood people, but when will they be able to take a small project like their own?

"No, I personally provide services for you." Bill Rossis shook his head, how can such a small project enter the company's legal eye, "You focus on the film, like looking for suitable behind-the-scenes work. These tasks will be handled by me. It will not be difficult for me to find people for you from within CAA."

If it were not that the investment in the film was too low and Murphy Stanton was too unfamiliar, he would have applied for a one-stop packaging service from the company a long time ago. How would he wait until now?

Murphy Stanton, a super potential customer, is now just a potential customer after all.

According to relevant laws and regulations, the agent cannot directly participate in the production of the film, but it is entirely possible to find the right manpower for him. Murphy considered it for a few seconds and nodded in response.

"I can leave these to you." He said directly, "but I can't give you a 5% commission."

"No problem." Bill Rossis is not a short-sighted person either. He looks at the far future. "We'll talk about this later."

CAA externally marked flat management. All brokers have the same status, but this will not really be realized at all. Everyone wants to be the person in the upper building.

And every CAA agent has a heart to become Michael Ovitz.

"Oh, there's more." Murphy thought of something again, "I need four main actors, actresses, I have already told Kerry, another actor also has a rough candidate, you can help me find two white people actor."

Bill Rossis nodded, "Don't worry, I will inform you as soon as possible."

Murphy and Bill Rossis talked until the evening, and the two sides also negotiated a lot of work.

I have to say that with an agent, many things will be much more convenient, otherwise the entertainment agent will have no meaning.

His project is too small for CAA to look down upon. Bill Rossis can only provide a specious personal packaging service. What if it is a one-stop packaging service provided by CAA?

When leaving this building, Murphy couldn't help but think of these questions.

Frankly speaking, he does not reject CAA's packaging policy at all, and this packaging is actually good for directors like him without a fixed team, otherwise it will not be accepted by Hollywood producers and other agencies.

At the very least, it can reduce a lot of his workload and put all his energy on the production of the film itself.

This kind of policy initiated by Michael Ovitz can be said to be the root of CAA's strength, and it can also reduce many troubles for client companies.

For example, in the past, a TV station had to produce a program, and it needed to find both the host and the actors, as well as the producer, script writer, etc. In short, it needed to deal with a large number of different agents.

When Ovitz himself was looking for celebrities without a way, he thought of using projects to find celebrities: prepare script writers, producers, and directors, and plan an attractive project to attract celebrities to join.

In this way, the brokerage company can prepare all the artists for the show. Not only does the TV station worry about it, the brokerage company will also change the past passive star chasing into active projects.

This kind of service is also logically extended to the production of movies and TV shows.

When other brokerage companies were still purely chasing stars, Michael Ovitz had already recruited top talents in every position needed for TV shows and movies to CAA to provide one-stop packaging services for major Hollywood companies. .

Today's Hollywood, this kind of packaging service is quite popular, at least it meets the needs of many film companies, directors and producers.

In Murphy’s own understanding, this model is suitable for the current development of Hollywood. The only thing he looks uncomfortable with is that CAA’s one-stop package service requires an additional commission, mostly 10%, not just Box office revenue, but count the surrounding areas of the film.

Although he doesn't even have the qualifications to provide CAA services, but thinking about it from a different position, he can't help but feel painful.

It was getting dark, Murphy left Century City, drove into Beverly Hills, and directly entered Rodel Street, which is the most prosperous commercial street in Beverly Hills. He turned around and found a parking space. After parked the car, walked hundreds of meters, and came to a bar.

Looking up at the sign of the bar, I was sure that I didn't find the wrong thing. Murphy paid the entrance fee and pushed the door into the bar. A burst of popular metal immediately reached his ears.

Probably it was an earlier time. There were not many people in the bar, but the lights were a bit dim, and Murphy couldn't find the target for a while.

"Sir," a waiter saw Murphy looking around, seeming to be looking for someone, and hurried over, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

"Ah, so." Murphy stopped and said, "Mr. James Franco and I have an appointment to meet here..."

Just now, a hand stretched out from behind, patted Murphy on the shoulder with no weight and no light. He turned his head and looked, only to see the natural curly Hulanlan, I don’t know when he came behind him. .

"Here." Hu Lanlan beckoned him to walk backwards.

"Thank you." Murphy first said politely to the waiter, and then followed James Franco. The two crossed the dance floor on the first floor and went up to the second floor through a wooden staircase. The tables on the floor are sitting opposite each other.

"You are so stupid!" James Fran handed Murphy a dark beer. "Don't you know if you come to the second floor to have a look?"

Murphy opened the bottle cap, took a sip, shrugged, and quibbleed, "I'll be ready to come right away."

The two touched the bottle, James Franco looked up and drank half of the bottle, then tapped Murphy with his chin, "What do you want me to do?"

"I'm preparing for a new project." Murphy put down the beer bottle. "There is a character in it that suits you well."

James Franco shook his head without even thinking about it, "No, that kind of small production of $300,000 will be enough once."

"This time is definitely not a small production of 300,000 US dollars." Murphy vowed, "My investment has doubled."

"Your movie sold for a million." James Franco was disdainful and directly exposed, "I don't believe you can have more money to invest than this."

Murphy touched his nose with a slight embarrassment, picked up the bottle and lifted it to James Franco, and the two almost drank to the bottom in one breath.

"I think of you as a friend." Murphy started talking again, "So I thought of you for the first time."

"Friend?" James Franco nodded his chest. "When you have trouble, you think of me as a friend. When there is no trouble, you still think of me?"

Murphy took another can of beer, opened it and handed it to James Franco, "Jim, am I this kind of person?"
