Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981 - Chapter 1068
Chapter 1068 Lucky Cameron
Los Angeles, USA
CAA Corporation
In an office without job identification
Looking at the invitation letter in his hand, Michael Ovitz, the head of CAA, couldn’t help but sigh with emotion. Michael Ovitz can be said to be envious, jealous, and hateful for Boss Yang’s remarried marriage.
A man who does what Boss Yang did, is not in vain.
The last time he couldn’t attend the wedding of the century, he always felt deeply regretful. Although CAA has now become the most powerful agency in Hollywood, compared with those who Yang Chen invited before, there is still a big gap.
Now that Boss Yang is getting married again, he specially sent him an invitation letter. An invitation letter can bring a partner, which makes Michael Ovitz feel indescribably happy.
However, Michael Ovitz had a total of two invitations at this time, and one of them was named, which surprised Michael Ovitz.
Because of the name on the invitation letter, it is called James Cameron, a contract director under CAA.
In 1984, James Cameron became famous for writing and directing the sci-fi movie “Terminator”, and later became a contract director of CAA.
After the Terminator, Cameron and Sylvester Stallone wrote the script for First Blood 2.
Then he wrote and directed his second work, “Alien 2”, for which James Cameron won the 14th Saturn Award for Best Director.
Although James Cameron is an excellent director, his influence is limited to Hollywood. The other side’s Titanic and Avatar have not yet come out. At this time, James Cameron is far from a world-class director. The distance, so Michael Ovitz was a little puzzled, how the other party attracted the attention of Boss Yang.
dong dong—
There was a knock on the door
“Come in” Michael Ovitz recovered from his thoughts.
“Boss, Director Cameron is here.”
“Invite him in!”
After Cameron entered the office, he said directly: “Mr. Ovitz, are you looking for me? Is there anything? I’m very busy right now. I’m busy preparing for the shooting of “Abyss”. Time is precious.”
Michael Ovitz handed the invitation letter to James Cameron and said, “Stop your work first and look at this.”
“What’s this? You know, I don’t like going to those nasty parties, and it’s fine if you’re an investor.”
Michael Ovitz shook his head and didn’t speak, indicating to James Cameron to see for himself, Michael Ovitz didn’t care about James Cameron’s rudeness.
In order to ensure the stability of CAA itself, the brokers will not betray collectively, Michael Ovitz carefully set the “betrayal cost”.
For example, superstars are not solely responsible by a single agent, which ensures that the agent has a considerable income, makes CAA monopolize the entire industry chain, and makes it impossible for those who betray CAA to gather top resources.
At the same time, in order to create an internal atmosphere of equality, employees in CAA generally only have names, no titles, and no signs in the office. Anyone can use the conference room and reception room, and even the salary slips are arranged alphabetically by surname.
Various measures have made CAA develop rapidly since the early 1980s. Even Michael Ovitz himself has to abide by the company’s regulations.
Equal communication, this is his daily work habit with his agents and stars, so that he can better understand everyone’s true thoughts.
Seeing James Cameron stunned and not speaking, Michael Ovitz frowned and asked, “Have you read it yet?”
“It’s over” James Cameron suddenly raised his head, looked at Michael Ovitz, and asked, “Is this true?”
“What?” Michael Ovitz was puzzled.
James Cameron pointed to the invitation letter in his hand, and said a little excitedly: “This invitation letter, oh, I mean, it means that I was invited to the wedding, is this true? It’s not a joke with me. Bar?”
Michael Ovitz picked up his invitation letter, shook it in front of James Cameron, and said, “The invitation letter can’t be fake, I still have one here.”
With Michael Ovitz’s affirmation, James Cameron no longer doubted, but he was a little puzzled, how could he have an invitation letter, did Boss Yang have a second marriage and relaxed the invitation restrictions?
Michael Ovitz asked James Cameron with a little curiosity: “You know Yang?”
The knowledge that Michael Ovitz mentioned refers to whether Yang Chen knew him Cameron and whether he had a personal relationship.
James Cameron shook his head, expressing that he did not know him. He is a young director, and he has only written and directed two films. Although the film scores are good, there are more famous directors in Hollywood than him. The richest man, Yang Da boss.
‘do not know? ‘ Seeing James Cameron shaking his head, Michael Ovitz became even more curious. Since he didn’t know him, why did James Cameron attract the attention of Boss Yang and got an invitation letter.
After thinking for a while, Michael Ovitz, who couldn’t think of a reason, shook his head and stopped thinking about this issue.
Now that the invitation letter is in his hands, and James Cameron’s name is also correct, it is obviously not a mistake.
Michael Ovitz reminded: “In addition to yourself, you can also bring a partner to this invitation. As for who you can go with, there is no limit.
However, the premise is that personal information needs to be reported, and the contact number is on the invitation letter, and the Yang family consortium will conduct an investigation and verification, so the person you choose, it is best not to be someone of unknown origin…”
James Cameron nodded earnestly, he had also heard of Yang’s security name.
According to legend, everyone who can see or contact the big boss Yang will be clearly investigated by Yang’s security.
It is no exaggeration to say that the security level around Boss Yang is even tighter than that of the President of the United States. It is basically impossible for anyone with a slight suspicion of Yang’s security to enter in front of Boss Yang.
And the wedding scene of Boss Yang, needless to say, no one wants to be destroyed on a good day, and it is understandable that the inspection is strict.
James Cameron is very excited about being able to get the invitation. Although he doesn’t know why he got the invitation, he knows that his life may change dramatically.
As a director, what is most needed is investors, no matter how good your script is, without investors, everything is impossible to talk about.
And who is Boss Yang? The richest man in the world, if he can get investment from the other party, what kind of big truck can’t be photographed?
