Legendary Hollywood Producer - Chapter 169

“In the past period of time!”

As the highest controller of CAA, Michael Ovez coldly glanced at the people sitting on both sides of the conference table, “Our work has not been smooth one after another. Not only has many potential actors turned to his house, but also at Warner. There has been no progress on the important “Batman” project!”

His raging anger directly ignited at Kevin Hoween, who was sitting in the middle of the conference table, “Why did the director named Christopher Nolan under your hand not take a firm stand on this, and Manhai Entertainment’s President, haven’t you worked with him many times, why can’t you ease the conditions of CAA in the project.”

“In the future, don’t promote the resources to your director. At such an important moment, there is still a second heart. You should not be the ideal partner of CAA.

Kevin Hoween listened to these words, lowered his head, not daring to refute a word.

During this period of time, he has clearly felt that his position within the company has quietly changed. In the past, he was the person most valued by Michael Ovez among the company’s senior management, and even planned to let him head a department alone, but now. ….. He thinks whether he can keep the rights he has now is a question.

Thinking of this, Kevin Howen regretted it a little, he shouldn’t have sworn to take over the operation of the “Batman” project.

Who would have thought that Roman would be so resolute in this matter, as well as Christopher Nolan, the second or fifth boy, who asked him to use his role as a film director to intimidate Warner and Roman, but they refused, and said they would terminate the contract.

FXXXXX!!!

Thinking of this, Kevin Howen became angry, and Warner didn’t give any chance. When he said that CAA wanted to participate in the project, the ironic words of production director Hull Laubert seemed to be ringing in his ears. , “This is impossible, see off.”

Originally, he still wondered how to maximize the benefits from the operation of this project. In other words, he was dreaming.

Whether it’s Roman’s Manhai Entertainment or Warner’s senior management, they don’t want CAA to have the slightest chance to get involved in the entire project.

“Wright…” Michael Ovez over there said again, “You are responsible for communicating with Warner about the “Batman” project, Kevin, you can manage your contracted artists. , You don’t need to intervene in this matter.”

“Okay.” The man named Martin took the hot potato with a reluctant look. Now who doesn’t understand the difficulty of this matter, Warner hates CAA at first, and even complained in front of the media because of CAA and so on. The emergence of brokerage companies has caused the cost of film production to rise again and again, disrupting the operation of the entire Hollywood market. They have been warned of countless times, how can they communicate with Warner. And the existence of Kevin Hoween also proved that Roman’s path was unworkable.

This is a dead end at all!

“Everyone, CAA is now at a critical time. We need to prove to the outside world who is the absolute ruler in the brokerage market, show our enthusiasm, and continue to generate revenue for the company. The meeting is adjourned!”

Michael Ovez left the conference room first, and the rest of the people began to leave one after another.

“What’s going on with Christopher Nolan? Isn’t he the director of our CAA contract? Isn’t he willing to help us here.” Martin looked at Kevin Hoween in a bad mood, biting his head. After asking this sentence, he has now taken over this task and needs to find a chance to enter.

“He was still on our side at the beginning. When he negotiated with the president of Manhai Entertainment, Roman, he also said a few good things for CAA. However, Roman has never expressed his opinion afterwards, and it is estimated that he realized the possibility that CAA wants to enter the game. Sex is negligible, so he immediately changed his position and no longer moved towards CAA. He didn’t even talk about too much rights and interests, and left only for the directorship of “Batman”.” Kevin Hoween’s usual relationship with Martin is still Yes, seeing him take over this mess, I also advise:

“Christopher Nolan is definitely not going to work. He also made it clear that he would not express too much on this matter. He is a smart man. He knows that if he is threatened by the director position, he is likely to directly contact Manhai. Entertainment and Warner Bros. Pictures have offended together, so they won’t be involved anymore. And Warner makes no sense. You have only one way to choose, which is to impress Roman. He is the leader of the project and will definitely be able to convince Warner. Get him done, things are almost done.”

“But he’s not easy to talk.” Martin worried.

“Well, I talked to him. He has been playing haha, but he is unwilling to speak for CAA. He only pushes everything to Warner Pictures, which is very difficult to deal with.”

“Oh, I’m miserable this time, I’m probably going to be criticized.” Martin heard the words of Kevin Hoween, who came over, and he couldn’t see the turning point of being able to participate in the project.

“Good luck!” Kevin Hoween patted Martin on the shoulder sympathetically, then turned and left the conference room.

This year, CAA’s life is not easy. First, several projects that operate packaged services failed. At the Oscars, there was nothing to be happy about. On the other hand, the performance of other brokerage companies has been on the rise. In the past, the market share has to be taken up by other brokerage companies, and it is no wonder that Michael Ovez is so angry.

As soon as the financial statements of the first quarter were released, it is estimated that the stock market has changed due to the dismal earnings. In this way, the foundations or company boards that hold a large number of CAA stocks behind them let Michael Ovez the power holder. ? Certainly not, maybe, the position within CAA will be shaken.

Who cares how much you have contributed to the development of the company, as long as you do nothing now, it is an imaginable fact to get out.

Just as Martin was thinking about it, the “Batman” project also began rapid preparations.

First, according to part of Christopher Nolan’s wishes, he recruited a photographer and a lighting engineer he was very familiar with all the year round, and then all the remaining personnel were handled by Warner.

In order to reflect the importance of this project, a very luxurious lineup was directly drawn: Ian Hunter, the spokesperson of the team nominated for Oscar visual effects all the year round, his team has a total of five people, all of whom have joined “Batman”; special Ristan Miles, nominated for Best Editing Oscar for three times, a very senior editor team spokesperson in the industry, and all his teams have joined the “Batman” project… There are many such people. , Open the production list of this movie, you will find that more than half are regulars on Oscars, and Warner really has worked hard.
