America's Road to Wealth

Chapter 55 The Emotional Benefits of Business Behavior

"Michael Ovitz, is that Michael Ovitz?"

Abel hung up the phone,

Jessica has been holding back just now,

Finally couldn't help but asked in a low voice.

"That's Michael Ovitz." Abe replied with a smile.

Jessica's plump and beautiful lips twitched, trying to say something, but she couldn't.

Abel knew exactly what she was trying to say.

"Are you wondering why Michael Ovitz called me?" he asked.

Jessica nodded obediently: "If I can say it, I'm really curious.

Honey, your main business is on Wall Street, right?

How could it be related to Michael Ovitz? "

Although three years ago, Michael Ovitz was kicked away by Disney.

But before that, Michael Ovitz's status in the entertainment circle was really in full swing.

He is also the founder, president and chairman of CAA, and the president of Disney.

Either of these two identities can be regarded as a first-class giant in Hollywood.

He once had both identities.

To put it bluntly, Michael Ovitz at that time was almost half the king of Hollywood.
Three years on, Michael Ovitz is in showbiz.

Although there is no more splashing out of the water.

But a lean camel is bigger than a horse.

In the entertainment industry for more than 20 years, the prestige and reputation accumulated.

Let Michael Ovitz, even now, remain one of the prominent figures in American entertainment.

A starlet like Jessica heard about her boyfriend.

If she wanted to attend such a gathering of big names in the entertainment industry, of course she would have some reactions.

This is like when Anne Hathaway heard that her boyfriend became a CAA shareholder.

Both curious and excited.

Abel thought for a while, then smiled softly and said, "I remember your agency contract, signed with Endeavor Entertainment, right?"

Jessica nodded: "Currently, it is indeed, mainly my father, who knows a management of Endeavor Entertainment. That's why I was signed to this company at that time."

Another relationship.

Those like Jessica and Anne who became famous in Hollywood when they were young.

Except for those who are very lucky, there is almost no one who is not a related household.

The Endeavor Company she mentioned was a medium-sized brokerage company in the United States.

Compared with CAA, WME, UTA, and ICM, the current four major entertainment brokerage companies, Endeavor, which was founded in 1898, is now a small player.

However, after 2005, with the advent of the streaming media and networking era.

Seize the trend of the times and become the endeavour of the pig on the trend.

Later, it became the number one entertainment brokerage company in the United States.

But this is a matter for the future, and the current strength of Endeavor is indeed not as good as that of the Big Four.

Jessica has always wanted to change her agency.

It's just that she hasn't become famous yet, and the Big Four have no interest in her.

She herself was reluctant to break the contract and paid Fenjin liquidated damages.

It dragged on like this.

"Michael Ovitz invited me to this party, and Emmanuel will be there."

Abel said.

"Emanuel?" Hearing the name, Jessica's beautiful eyes widened.

"Is that Ariel Zev Emmanuel? Chairman of Endeavor Entertainment?"

"Yes." Abel nodded and said, "And David Geffen, you should have heard of this name."

"David Geffen, is that G from SKG?"

"correct."

The three letters SKG are the abbreviation of DreamWorks Studios, the first independent film company that is effectively challenging the Hollywood giants in Hollywood and the American entertainment industry.

S stands for Steven Spielberg, a director who can stabilize James Cameron in 2000 and now.

K is for Jeffrey Katzenberg, another big Hollywood figure, but he's best known in cartoons.

G is David Geffen, a top Hollywood producer and businessman.

"David Geffen and Emanuel, will be at this party initiated by Ovitz," Abel said.

He only named two big names in Hollywood.

Not the Mr. Bloomberg to whom Michael Ovitz spoke first.

Although Bloomberg is very rich now.

But he has not yet become the mayor of New York, and his fame is not very big among ordinary people.

But in fact, strictly speaking, David Geffen, Emanuel and others can't compare with Bloomberg in terms of wealth doubled.

"Oh, my God." Jessica couldn't help covering her beautiful plump lips, "A party of Hollywood tycoons?"

And Michael Ovitz, David Geffen, Emmanuel.

At the Vanity Fair dinner after the Oscars, sometimes these few people are not gathered.

Now that they are all here, isn't it just a gathering of Hollywood moguls?

"You can say that." Abel smiled.

Jessica wanted to say now that she wanted to go to the party.

But after several months of getting along, she has already known her boyfriend's character.

Her boyfriend didn't speak, and she didn't dare to express her thoughts.

She had no choice but to look at him expectantly with her beautiful eyes.

Abel naturally understood what she was thinking.

Because of such a banquet, no Hollywood actor could refuse.

This is a position in the food chain, a Hollywood giant that is higher than those big-name directors and A-list superstars.

Their level of existence is itself the top of Hollywood.

Go to such a party, even if nothing happens.

Spreading the word can also improve the status and status of actors and stars invisibly.

It's no wonder Jessica, a starlet on the [-]th line, isn't tempted.

"Not this time." Abel shook his head and said, "Because I'm here to discuss business. I have a business to discuss with them. Neither of us will bring a female companion."

Hearing this, Jessica's eyes dimmed a bit.

Then he asked curiously, "About business?"

Could it be that my financial tycoon boyfriend wants to invest in the entertainment industry?

Otherwise, how would you negotiate business with these people.

"That's right. I plan to buy CAA, and these people own part of CAA's shares." Abel was not afraid to tell her.

Anyway, Annie knew it all.

In fact, letting them know in advance is more likely to become an "insurance" for the relationship between the two parties.

"CAA! Are you talking about the CAA, the innovative elite culture?"

Jessica's voice became louder for the first time.

Abel knew she would react this way.

Because it was at Charlie Brown's Pizza.

Annie's reaction was almost the same.

Afterwards, she became even more obsessed with Abel.

After all, although the boyfriend of the Wall Street tycoon is rich and rich, he is very nice.

But for girls like them who want to be top stars in Hollywood.

A Hollywood tycoon's boyfriend is naturally more attractive.

If this boyfriend is a Hollywood tycoon and a Wall Street tycoon at the same time.

That would be even more wonderful.

Isn't it?
That's what Jessica thinks now, exactly what Anne thought then.

"Yes. Long before that, in fact.

I am already the largest shareholder of CAA. "Abel smiled.

The main purpose of acquiring CAA is that he wants to enter the American media industry.

This is the ultimate goal.

But in the process, this kind of behavior can strengthen his relationship with the "Jiao" hidden in the two golden houses.

This can be regarded as a kind of benefit in a certain sense in this commercial behavior.
