Strong Support from CAA

Such a murderer who has faith and teaches people to cherish their own lives is a character that has never appeared in film history.

Judging from Dawson's own experience in the past 30 years, as long as the director's skills are not too bad, this movie will definitely not be a bad movie.

Of course, the box office doesn't know.

After all, no one knows whether such a character can please the audience.

But Dawson judged from his own experience that this wave is worth a gamble.

The gamble lost, and he has since left CAA to work elsewhere.

This is also in his mind. In his thirties, he does not want to continue to be a bottom-level broker here. What he wants to become is a partner with only five people in the company.

Success, there is this opportunity.

Failing, he starts over in another place.

Kevin, who was calm on the side, looked at Dawson's face and knew that the plan and the script had moved him.

Then the next thing to do is to wait.

Waiting for his agent, Dawson, to find the right investor for his proposal.

Of course, before that, all he had to do was go to the editors' union and the director's union to file the script with the editors' union and register it with the directors' union.

These two things are imperative, one can prevent plagiarism, and at the same time firmly grasp the copyright of Chainsaw in their own hands.

You know, in the future, Chainsaw will make eight or nine movies in a row, and he knows exactly what it means.

For the sake of the following interests, the first step, he can give up part of the interests, just to master this copyright.

He is confident that he can use this copyright to double the loss of the first step and earn it back several times.

"Dawson? Do you think my plan is feasible?"

Kevin asked calmly.

"Of course, you are the talented director I value."

Dawson was not stingy with his praise. In his eyes, Kevin, the talented director, showed his true praise for the first time.

And now, their fates also stand together.

If it succeeds, both parties succeed together.

Failure, both sides will fall into the abyss.

But in fact, the consequences are even more serious for Kevin.

Therefore, neither side is allowed to lose in this battle.

"Next, I will look for people who are interested in your proposal, and you should also prepare for the shooting in advance."

"Our next destiny depends on whether your film can be successful."

Kevin stood up and shook hands with Dawson. There is no need to say more, this project means the future of the two, and no one will be lazy on this project.

......

The next day, early in the morning, Dawson came to the conference room early with the project plan.

Different from other companies, each broker of CAA is actually a partner of the company. Through the complex salary structure, a special system that promotes the company's progress has been formed.

Every star, every client, often has a team of brokers.

Of course, the core of this brokerage team is often the broker most trusted by clients.

And Dawson also serves many customers, but because he does not have his own important customers, his status in the company has been unable to rise.

But in terms of income, it is actually not low.

After all, he exists in multiple teams at the same time, and he can get a commission for each team.

This is also the advantage of CAA's internal compensation system. If your ability is strong enough, even if you don't have core customers, you can still make money.

It's just that Dawson now needs more status.

In the conference room, dozens of brokers who have not gone out are sitting in their chairs, discussing today's issues.

Michael Ovitz, one of the firm's five partners, is also the most powerful partner outright.

The appearance is that of a typical middle-aged white male, with oval glasses, and the occasional glitter in his eyes shows that this man is not simple.

In fact it is.

CAA, founded in 1975, has become a giant in Hollywood after more than ten years of development.

He holds countless resources in the entertainment industry in his hands.

Looking at the discussion below, Michael Ovitz knocked on the table, making a loud noise.

The others fell silent.

Michael Ovitz just started talking:

"Our CAA, although it has become the most powerful brokerage company in Hollywood, still has huge shortcomings."

"If we want the big Mac studios in Hollywood to accept our CAA package, we must have more good directors, directors who can make money for the studios."

"This will force the giants to back down, give more profits, and make more money for us and our customers."

"…"

After some reflections on the company's development, I got to the point.

"In these days, have you signed any more potential director clients?"

Along with Michael Ovitz's words, several agents came one after another with their harvests.

Seeing the opportunity, Dawson seized the opportunity and handed the plan in his hand to Michael Ovitz, and respectfully said:

"This is a project proposal for a film project from Steve Kevin, the talented director of USC I signed with me, which includes a script for a horror movie, a series of plans, and the required budget... "

"The problem now is the lack of funding, and I hope CAA will use its resources to move this project forward."

"Oh?"

"The genius director of Nanjiakai?"

Dawson's words raised a little interest in him. Looking at the thick plan in his hand, Ovitz opened it with a little interest.

The neat script mode and the orderly plan brought him a good impression.

Most rookie directors don't even know how to make this plan.

Of course, this isn't actually the director's job, it's the producer's job.

However, being able to see this complete plan from a rookie director is enough to show that the rookie director came prepared, rather than simply cheating investment.

With this thought in mind, Ovitz braced himself to read the script.

Soon, Jigsaw, a villain with his own insistence, attracted his attention, and he quickly realized this.

The script, that is, the story, is the foundation of a script.

The director is the one who tells the story through the lens.

Judging from this plan, at least there is no problem with the script, so all they have to do is to find an experienced assistant director to help him make fewer mistakes.

At the same time, a producer who controls the budget is arranged to eliminate the director's unrestrained ideas through funding.
