Chatty Hollywood
Chapter 149: Super agent
At the same time, it was not only Judy Foster and her assistant Anna who were discussing Charlotte.
As Caa's best agent, Pat Kingsley is also talking about this emerging director.
--on the phone.
"Dear old Tony, do you think my plan is feasible?"
While she was talking on the phone, she turned the pen in her hand,
"Sign Charlize Theron first, and then use her to bring Charlotte Booth to caa."
"...You shouldn't ask me about this kind of thing, right?"
On the other side of the phone was Mr. Anthony Westwood, the producer who had worked with Charlotte on two films.
In fact, he would receive a call from Pat Kingsley on New Year's Day in 1995, and Mr. Westwood was also surprised.
In his opinion, this famous Tom Cruise's agent, there is no good thing to find himself. After all, one of them is a producer and the other is an agent. They are inherently opposites on the issue of pay.
Therefore, even though the two had had such a period back then, Mr. Westwood didn't give her a good tone at the beginning.
Until she explained her intentions--
She wants to sign Charlize Theron, and she wants to bring Charlotte to CAA.
This is not easy!
Mr. Westwood knows very well that with the big sales of "Happy Death", the rise of Charlize is inevitable, and she will inevitably have an agent soon.
As for Charlotte, directors don't have to have an agent. But obviously, with an agent, many things will be easier.
The question for them now is, which brokerage company should they choose? caa or w
Westwood did not know which of these brokerage companies handed them olive branches.
Of course, this has nothing to do with him.
——At least it has nothing to do with the next cooperation with the two.
Now that Pat Kinsley is calling, it is obvious that she has intentions in this regard, but -
"Don't you have a superstar like Tom Cruise in your hand? What are you still staring at Sally and Charlotte?"
Mr. Westwood couldn't help but asked the question.
"For the future, Tony!"
There was a smile in Pat Kingsley’s voice.
"It's true that Tom is my most important client right now, but that doesn't mean I don't need to sign new people..."
The more stars you have, the higher the status of the agent and the greater the power.
Of course, Mr. Westwood also understands this truth. He will ask this question only because he is unhappy.
——This is the natural hatred between the producer and the agent.
However, after excluding emotional factors, Mr. Westwood is supportive of Pat Kingsley's signing of Charlize. After all, as a broker, Jinsli actually cares about customers...
"Sally, as long as you really consider her and the conditions are appropriate, signing her shouldn't be difficult. As for Charlotte—"
Mr. Westwood pondered for a while.
"I know that you caa always like to play the packaging business, which is actually an infringement on the authority of the director, so you need to have a good relationship with you directors. And Charlotte, I don't know what his attitude is about this."
"...Well, I see. Thank you, Tony!"
Pat Kinsley hung up the phone, but a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
—Westwood doesn’t want me to sign Charlotte Booth!
As a shrewd woman, Jinsli heard Mr. Westwood's attempt.
This is enough!
What she needs is precisely this kind of negation——
As Mr. Westwood said, caa particularly likes the packaging business. To put it simply, according to the needs of the film party, the multiple artists under the banner will be bundled and signed to the film party together.
Of these artists, of course, some of them are fancy, but some of them are pure additions.
Although this method of adulterating goods has increased the profitability of CAA, it is also easily disgusted by the film crew, especially the director.
On the other hand, caa hopes to reduce this dislike by pulling in the relationship with the directors, and even hopes that the directors can take the initiative to accept this kind of packaging business.
Of course, for the big directors who have become famous, this is impossible. But for some new directors who are still in development, it may not be.
This is why Pat Kingsley is eyeing Charlotte.
After all, the big sales of the two films "Fatal Turn" and "Happy Death Day" cannot be concealed. Especially the latter, it is almost a sweeping trend during the Christmas period.
If the director who can make such a movie fails to notice, then caa can also be closed.
The reason Pat Kingsley called Mr. Westwood was to get some information from him, but she also hoped to hear his evaluation of Charlotte.
——As a producer who has worked with Charlotte twice, Mr. Westwood's evaluation is still very meaningful.
After all, whether a person has the development potential, in addition to looking at the existing achievements, the evaluation of the people around him, especially the partners, is also very important.
However, Jinsli did not directly ask this question.
In her opinion, asking directly, whether Mr. Westwood likes or hates Charlotte, the evaluation given will be obviously subjective.
And such an evaluation does not make much sense for her to evaluate Charlotte's development potential.
She used the straight ball probing method, and Mr. Westwood's slightly objectionable answer made her very satisfied.
If Mr. Westwood has no plans to cooperate with Charlotte again in the future, why does he care if the latter has an agent?
If he no longer cooperates, even if the latter has an agent, it will not be him who is calculated to increase the salary.
This reaction just shows that Charlotte is very important.
"It seems old Tony is very optimistic about Charlotte Booth!"
While continuing to turn the pen in his hand, Pat Kinsley pondered.
"That said, it is necessary to get closer to the new generation director. However, you still have to sign Charlize Theron first!"
Through the conversation with Mr. Westwood just now, Pat Kinsley has confirmed that there is indeed an ambiguous relationship between Charlize Theron and Charlotte Booth.
Therefore, Jinsli is going to pass Charlize first to gradually approach Charlotte.
Of course ~www.NovelMTL.com~ is very optimistic about Charlize himself, Pat Kingsley——
After all, a girl can be regarded as outstanding in Hollywood alone in terms of appearance and figure, which is enough to make her a vase in many blockbusters.
What's more, Charlize has starred in two movies that have a good box office, and she has initially proved herself, and her acting skills are really good...
"If you develop well, you might reach Meg Ryan's level!"
Meg Ryan, who has starred in "City of Angels" and "Sleepless in Seattle", can be said to be a model of American sweethearts.
Pat Kinsley used her to compare Charlize's future, consciously being largely overestimated. After all, the identity of the latter South African makes it difficult to integrate into the various circles of Hollywood, but-
Life is always unexpected from time to time.
ps1: "Editor's Agent" is a bad Hong Kong film, released in 13 years, starring Ah Sa... Well, I actually want to watch Gillian even more.
