    "Damn Lovett"

    In the back of the black Lincoln car driving on the highway, Brian threw aside a large stack of newspapers. The middle-aged face was full of anger and his brows were furrowed. This is definitely not a coincidence. Ye Wei just made his appearance yesterday.  Today there is such a piece of gossip news that grabs attention and devours hot topics of talent

    He held up his cell phone and dialed every number he could, and said in a deep voice: "The news about Lindsay and Duff was your idea, right?"

    Lindsay Lohan is also a client of CAA, and her agent Tracey Brennan and Lovett have always had a good relationship; Hilary Duff is a member of Curtis Talent Management (CTM) and her agent  Michael Kachel, although outside the four major brokerage companies, is quite powerful.

    Although Lovett seemed to be out of touch with the incident, it was clear that this was a joint operation.

    He didn't know if the two spoiled celebrity girls knew about it. Maybe they were willing to do it, or maybe they were set up together. And from such a commotion, they benefited at the same time, especially Lindsay's new movie will be released soon, so  Tracey and Catcher love it.

    "What are you talking about?" Lovett's voice pretended to be innocent. "What news?"

    Brian laughed angrily and said, "Don't forget CAA's corporate culture, and don't forget why you are sitting where you are today!"

    Why CAA is the most powerful agency? Because when Michael Ovitz and other five founders founded the company, they positioned the corporate culture as "teamwork". Now there are more than 100 agents, and the management has also changed.  After several changes, the tradition of two reasons why CAA is CAA is still maintained:

    ? ? 1. Every artist who signs with CAA will have a team to serve him.  Second, each broker should communicate with each other in a timely manner and cooperate more to avoid competition.

    How important is the second item? How many times have we avoided today¡¯s situation!  But Lovett and Tracy joined forces with outsiders to suppress CAA's new customers. Are they crazy?  ?

    "Lowett, we are here to find jobs for our clients, not to leave them without jobs. Only when they have jobs do we have money. Do you need me to tell you all this? Show some professional broker spirit. We want it."  It¡¯s a 10% commission, not a grudge!¡±

    "I really don't know what you are talking about, the agent of those two girls is not me! I don't know what happened, but you must be complaining to the wrong person."

    Brian looked at the retreating street scene outside the car window, and his voice became deeper: "You have to understand that Ye Wei is likely to be an important customer of CAA in the future. Let me just say that the Chinese market has become bigger and bigger in recent years. He  There are natural advantages, you know? If you don¡¯t see this clearly because of a little personal grudge, you are doing something stupid.¡±

    "What do you want me to say before you believe it? I have stopped paying attention to Ye Wei's affairs for a long time. You are really complaining about the wrong person." Lovett was helpless.

    Brian suddenly shouted angrily: "Don't mess with that kid! Hanks and Spielberg want to invest in him, can you afford it?"

    "For God's sake, I really didn't! I really didn't! At least tell me what happened. I'm still confused."

    Hearing the other party¡¯s tone, Brian knew that the matter would not be resolved peacefully, but he really had nothing to do with Lovett.

    The agents of CAA are completely equal in name. None of the big names or small names have professional titles. Although he has half a foot in the company's management, Lovett's move is too ruthless.

    No important customers such as Hanks and Willis were involved. If Lovett dared to talk to the media about Hanks¡¯ investment in Ye Wei, then he would be in big trouble. But he is not that stupid, even  He didn't attack Ye Wei directly, he even pretended not to participate!

    In fact, the two groups have always been in competition, because sometimes resources are limited, and CAA's specialty "integration and bundling" cannot solve it. For example, India's Reliance Entertainment intends to invest in Hollywood projects, and uses CAA as an intermediary. Who will give the money to?  While Hanks's Platoon successfully secured investment, Willis' Cheyenne Enterprises did not.

    And the future position of the company's management Lovett is an ambitious man.

    It seems that by suppressing Ye Wei, this is also an action against him

    Instead, Brian calmed down and said, "I don't care if you have done it before, but don't continue. That way we can still cooperate."

    The second half of the sentence is not clearly stated: If you continue, we will become mortal enemies. If you mess with me, I can also mess with you!  As soon as I catch you by the foot, I'll turn on the management and kick you out!

    "Brian, I have always regarded you as a good friend. You know that, and I look forward to our cooperation. I really don't care about Ye Wei anymore, but I really don't think much of him. That kid is too stubborn.  , love is not willing to be hyped, it is difficult to create, it is difficult!  I'm busy with something, so let's just leave it at that and chat later.  "

    The call was hung up, and Brian silently punched the car. He felt really uncomfortable after receiving such a slap.

    It¡¯s just one day!  The power of the exclusive interview only lasts for one day If it does not have an effect during the prime time of the first few days, it will be difficult to carry out subsequent work.

    Teenagers are very carefree, and have not really consumed "Genius Ye Wei". They can disappear in the blink of an eye, and only some Asian fans will be left. Not only will their popularity not be high, but as time goes by, Ye Wei will become  They will be labeled as "Asian idols" and it will be more difficult for them to enter the mainstream.

    what to do?

    "Wedding Day is Coming" should not be promoted too early before the screening, because that would damage Ye Wei's image as a genius. How could a genius let his family make a bad movie?

    But if things continue like this, it¡¯s hard to say whether there will be any screenings

    And if you rush to release "Little Miss Sunshine", you are playing into Lovett's plan, because releasing it now will only lead to doubts and ridicule, which are all negative emotions, which will not benefit Ye Wei, and will even hurt Hank.  Si's image.

    Tom Hanks is his most important customer, and Hanks¡¯s interests are also the most important interests.

    Another point is that "Mean Girls" is about to be released, and the feud between Lindsay and Duff is likely to be a hot topic. It's like a whack-a-mole game. As long as Ye Weiwei comes out, Lindsay and Duff will go down.  , whatever you do is useless

    Brian thought about calling Leslie Dart to discuss countermeasures together.

    ¡­¡­

    "Brian just called me. He was so angry that he wanted to kill me, haha. Tracy, please advise him. If he continues like this, sooner or later he will be transferred overseas as a liaison person."

    "He didn't call me. Brian is actually a nice guy, but he's really not suitable for being a youth idol. He just serves his old die-hards and nothing happens."

    "That's right, the same goes for Leslie Dart. They can't help it. They're not familiar with this kind of work. Even if that kid becomes smarter and is willing to use love hype tricks, he won't be able to find a girl for a while. Lily Collins doesn't  Fame without fans is useless.¡±

    "Jill Towerman won't agree. I've wanted to sign Lily Collins for a long time. If that girl comes out, it won't be a problem for Duff. You don't know how eager Disney is to give her a record and a movie project.  She was previously invited to do a guest voice role in "The Legend of the Bear", and Phil Collins was very happy, but Tawerman and she refused, saying that they did not want to enter the entertainment industry too early and should be good students."

    "Haha, this is even better, but will the girl support her boyfriend regardless of her mother's objection?"

    "No, I have asked her if she wants to date a Disney boy? She can choose whichever one she likes. But Lily Collins is more determined than Tawerman on this matter. She doesn't want to fall in love in the public eye."

    "This is good, really good. Two good kids come together as a couple. They refuse to be in the public eye and refuse to be idols then just be idiots."

    "Lovett, you are quite humorous sometimes."

    ¡°When I¡¯m in a good mood, I will.¡±

    ¡­¡­

    Today is Saturday. Students at Harvard-Westlake Junior High School have a lot of free time. In the utility room of the Dream Chaser Alliance headquarters, nearly ten young men and women, including Ye Wei, Lily, Connie, and Lev, are sitting on sofas and chairs.  We were laughing and talking about how we were going to spend the spring break in the middle of this month.

    Spring break is one of the most important programs for North American students. There is no official time. It is generally concentrated in March, before Easter, and there is about ten days of vacation.  College students and high school students will travel with friends and lovers during spring break to popular places such as the Caribbean Islands, Hawaii, and Miami.

    For college students, it often means carnival; for high school students, it is the first time in their lives that they leave their parents, stay away from campus, and travel far away alone.

    ¡° Ninth grade students like Ye Wei and Lev are already in their first year of high school in public schools, and it¡¯s time to travel!

    The four heavenly kings all had plans, but Ye Wei said: "I haven't made a plan yet. I'm wondering whether to go out"

    "Oh my god! Brother Wei, please don't think too hard. This is the spring break for your ninth grade. If you don't go on a trip, your life will be over!" Lev suddenly yelled in a hurry.

    Even the silliest nerd would nod his head at this. If you don¡¯t go to spring break for ninth grade, what are you doing living?  Looking back later, I stayed at home during spring break that year. Well, I¡¯m really curious about how you survived until now and were in a vegetative state?

    Lily also advised: "Wei, don't let yourself be too busy."

    "No, I'm not a workaholic, I have plenty of time at work, and there are many college students in my crew, no one can take them away."Our spring break.  "Ye Wei shrugged.

    "Is it because of money?!" Bud was shocked, and then he had a good idea: "Let's raise some money and let you and Lily go to Hawaii!"

    "Support!" Lev was the first to respond excitedly, so Brother Wei will definitely need the birthday gift he sent!

    Trieste and Connie looked at Lily in surprise, "Are you going to travel together?" Lily made a few gestures silently, as if to say, "I don't know what's wrong!" She quietly paid attention to Ye Wei from the corner of her eyes  ¡­

    "Wait, there's a call on my cell phone." Ye Wei suddenly said, took out the vibrating cell phone and looked at it, then answered the call with a smile: "Hi, Brian, what's the matter?"

    Everyone fell silent and looked at him with interest. It was about work. Is there any good news?

    Unexpectedly, his expression gradually became angry, and he said: "I just realized that I rarely read those gossips. Haha, ask Lindsay Lohan and Hilary Duff to deal with me. I am really a big shot."  ¡±

    Now everyone was even more confused. Lev and Bader looked at each other in surprise!

    "Weige, the worst thing is not just this time, but every time in the future, your newspaper column and all your updates will be destroyed by them until all your energy is exhausted."

    Listening to Brian's words, Ye Wei smiled, "Then they have made the wrong idea. I am a movie kid, and my creativity is my greatest energy! "Wedding Day is Coming" will surprise them. I have  This confidence.¡±

    "But if this continues, "Wedding Day is Coming" will not be screened. Even if we arrange one or two theaters for you, with your little fame and zero promotion fee, how much box office will there be? How many DVDs and videos will there be?  Sales? Weige, without this step, there is no next step.¡±

    Ye Wei was silent for a moment after hearing this, knowing that what the other party said made sense. His appearance as the "God of Wedding" was originally a selling point. It was based on the fact that he was an idol and would have fans to consume. If he wasn't who would be  Attracted into the theater?

    After three months of silence, the few fans he has may have forgotten about him; the film itself has zero publicity, and the box office may not be much better than the first screening.

    Even for good CULT films, they can only rely on slowly building a reputation in the DVD market, and it will take several years to get back their money, like a snail crawling.

    Without fame, there would be no screenings, and without screenings, there would be no opportunity to quickly recover costs or even make a profit. Instead, the family¡¯s debt would have increased by 100,000 yuan

    "Brian, what's your plan?"
