Chapter 1164： Behind the scenes game

In Hollywood now, if you ask an ordinary audience whether they like Tom Cruise or Hugo Lancaster, the answer is estimated to be five to five points. Maybe someone can have the upper hand, but the advantage is definitely not. It will be too obvious; when the same question is passed to the major film companies, their answer is definitely "like them all", because for them, actors are a whole term. In the face of personal friendship, interests are always the core.

Therefore, when Tom and Hugo compete for a movie, almost everyone is excited, and "Mission Impossible" has become the focus of attention in one fell swoop.

Now that Hugo is almost about to reach an agreement with "Mission Impossible", Tom has again come from behind and put forward a condition that Paramount can hardly refuse. On the one hand, signing with Hugo, creating Hollywood’s first 20 million dollar remuneration feat; on the other hand, signing with Tom to reach a cooperation with the top star of Hollywood Changhong for ten years. This is a dilemma in the eyes of any company. .

But in fact, for Paramount, the choice is not so difficult.

In less than forty-eight hours-the time left for the Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company to respond is very limited, Paramount officially announced that they signed a contract with Tom Cruise for a salary of 10 million US dollars, and Tom joined "Mission Impossible". The crew will be assembled within two weeks and will be officially filmed!

With twists and turns, the battle for the protagonist of "Mission Impossible" has been tossed for nearly a month, and finally ended in Tom Cruise's victory. The audience was enthusiastic, the supporters of Tom were overjoyed, the supporters of Hugo were aggrieved, and the onlookers cheered and looked forward to the release of "Mission Impossible".

After all, Hugo still missed the "Mission Impossible", which made people embarrassed.

In fact, it is not surprising that Paramount made such a choice. Their trade-off position is nothing more than a choice of interests.

Although signing with Hugo can create a gimmick, the 20 million dollars in salary is also paid by Paramount, which means that their box office pressure is greater-the profit margin is also smaller. Not to mention other large film companies, including Paramount itself, any film company will not be willing to increase the salary. It has always been brokerage companies that promote the increase in film salaries, while film companies hope to keep costs down and control costs.

But the problem is that now there are enough "Mission Impossible" gimmicks, and the "20 million pay" is just icing on the cake-and it is Paramount's own bleeding, coupled with pressure from other large film companies. In fact, Paramount's choice was not too difficult.

On the other hand, the cooperation between Tom and Paramount is definitely not just as simple as reducing the pay. Tom can bring many things to Paramount, not only "Mission Impossible", but also other works. Partnership. No one will forget that Tom is an artist belonging to an innovative artist management company.

This is really an interesting situation. On the one hand, the innovative artist agency has joined forces with William Morris Agency and Endeavour Elite Agency to promote a new breakthrough of 20 million in salary; but on the other hand, it has been secretly established with Paramount to promote Tom's joining cooperation. Sure enough, it is currently the most powerful brokerage company in the industry.

For innovative artist management companies, they are invincible. If Hugo starred in "Mission Impossible", it means that the 15 million cap of the entire agency industry has broken. They are definitely The most favorable competitor for the next 20 million clubs; if Tom starred in "Mission Impossible", then they could cooperate more with their actors and Paramount, and also won a head-on competition with Hugo.

Therefore, an innovative artist agency can definitely be called a job with ease.

Objectively speaking, in this competition, the biggest winner is not Tom or Hugo, nor innovative artist agency, but Paramount and "Mission Impossible". The preliminary preparations for this work have not yet been completed. It has been word of mouth. When movies are released in the future, as long as the publicity can keep up, the movie box office has a high chance of breaking out.

Behind Tom Cruise is the innovative artist agency, and behind Hugo is the Endeavour Elite Agency. This is also the first head-to-head game between the two brokerage companies. On the surface, the cooperation is behind the competition. It is the old and strong innovative artist agency that has the last laugh, but the innovative artist agency has clearly realized one thing through this incident, that is, forge ahead. The rise of elite brokerage companies is unstoppable!

Others don't know, but the creative artist agency knows nothing better.

In fact, the collaboration between Tom Cruise and "Mission Impossible" was finalized as early as the night of the Oscars. Tom showed his determination to win this work. His connections in Hollywood are naturally not Hugo’s. Years can be compared, and at the same time, the foundation of an innovative artist agency is not something that Endeavour Elite Agency can fight against.

Tom not only persuaded the main characters of the crew to get the support of Brian De Palma and Robert Downey, but also won the favor of Paramount head Shirley Lansing. In addition, Tom also relied on his own ability to obtain strong-water support.

Who is John Walt? A veteran actor who has been in Hollywood for nearly 30 years, he has become famous as early as the end of the sixties, and his contacts range from Broadway to TV series to movies. You can also see him in screenwriters, directors, actors, producers and other fields. Silhouette. If you want to talk about actor achievements, maybe he can't compare to Paul Newman and Jack Nicholson; but when it comes to behind the scenes in the circle, he is a top existence.

Qiang expressed his willingness to play "Mission Impossible" on the condition that Tom must be the leading actor. Moreover, he personally appeared on Oscars night as a lobbyist for Tom. That night, Qiang brought his daughter Angelina Jolie to the party specially-the daughter can play a deceiving role, making others mistakenly think that he is just paving the way for her daughter's future career as an actor, so that they will not pay attention. To his whereabouts.

The cooperation between Tom and "Mission Impossible" was decided on Oscar night. Tom lowered his pay for only ten million dollars. You must know that Tom has long been the backbone of the 15 million club. It is not easy for him to lower his pay; and Tom also named the producer, fully Using the resources of an innovative artist management company, according to the ideas of the director and screenwriter, the crew can be quickly built-and it is still a high-quality crew.

Paramount has no reason to refuse.

These transactions were originally hidden in the intertwining of pretenders, and it is difficult for even insiders to know before the official announcement. But to the surprise of the creative artist agency, the fox, Rick Rosen, actually smelled something wrong. He decisively handed over Paramount’s affairs to Joseph Gibbs, and then he and Ali Emmanuel. You are running around the Sunset Tower Hotel. At the beginning, the creative artist management company couldn't see the purpose of their running around, but now it seems that it couldn't be more clear.

First of all, Joseph persuaded Paramount not to announce that Tom Cruise has signed the news for the time being. At the same time, Joseph also dragged Paramount to the chariot of the Endeavour Elite Agency, and cooperated with the performance. It came on stage with the beating of gongs and drums. At the same time, Joseph and the others are pretty accurate, and the creative artist agency will definitely cooperate, because it is good for them and it can even make more profits.

Later, Rick relied on his strong personal ability to bring Disney and Warner Bros. into their camp.

Vigorous Tom Hanks joined Disney’s dubbing work to support the "Toy Story" work, in exchange for Nicholas Cage's exit in "Breathtaking Island", allowing Alexander Lorraine Join. Then they reached an agreement with Disney, allowing Disney to join the ranks of companies such as Twentieth Century Fox, and put pressure on Paramount.

Clint Eastwood and Al Pacino have reached cooperation with Warner Bros. in exchange for the joining of Warner Bros. In fact, it doesn’t matter whether Warner Bros. joins at this time. They are just doing it with their hands. ——Because they originally did not agree with the break of 20 million in film pay.

At such a "critical" juncture, Tom Cruise made a strong move. After weighing the pros and cons, Paramount gave up the $20 million salary plan and chose Tom, who "reduced the salary". The result was clear at a glance.

As a result, it became that Hugo did not want to increase the pay, but was stifled by the joint efforts of the film companies. Other brokerage companies will not only be unable to put pressure on Hugo anymore, but will sympathize with the situation of Endeavour's elite company, gloating, "After all, it is a new small company and its power is not enough. It is estimated that it will take a long time to recover after this blow. Vigorous."

Obviously it was Tom Cruise running around, relying on his strong personal connections to achieve the turnaround; it was obviously the innovative artist agency that was still strong and provided strong backup to help Tom Cruise win the "Mission Impossible~www.novelhall" .com~ But under the crisis management of the Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company, it not only resolved the previous remuneration accusations against Hugo, but also obtained a lot of benefits for the company’s artists. At the same time, it also cooperated with Warner Bros., Disney and Paramount. Both have secrets that are tacit to each other, and the relationship has taken to the next level.

The most important thing is that the Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company is not aware of it. If it weren't for the creative artist brokerage company, it would also be a player in the game, otherwise they would not be able to detect it at all. Not only did the old foxes like Rick and Ali keep dripping water, even Joseph, who was generally looked down upon by the people before, did not show any footwork.

Moreover, Tom teamed up to persuade Paramount Pictures to be on Oscar night, but Rick's reaction speed and crisis handling ability were amazingly good, whether it was their thorough consideration beforehand, or they judged on the spot. Accuracy and clear thinking all proved their ability.

The creative artist agency doesn’t know how Rick perceives something wrong, which also leaves them with no evidence to verify all the speculations; but for them, the facts are not important, and speculation is enough, because they clearly know , Next, the entire Hollywood agency circle is estimated to be shuffled.

However, what they didn't expect was that Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company actually still had something to do! Moreover, this backhand seems to be their ultimate goal!
