The Best Entertainment Era

Celebrities are different from actors, and superstars and celebrities exist in two different ways. Superstars like Tom Cruise have climbed from the bottom all the way, offending many people and possessing huge influence.

Tom Cruise had a guess and didn't need evidence. He directly called Brian Lord, who was in charge of the brokerage business of the brokerage company. As one of CAA's top clients, the brokerage company dared not neglect, nor could it.

Brian Lord immediately found Pat Kingsley.

Recently, there have been reports about Tom Cruise in the media. Brian Lord was very direct: Is it related to you?

Pat Kingsley denied: Nicole just won the Oscar for Best Actress, I have been busy promoting her, talking to Miramax and Harvey Weinstein about the new film, how can I have the energy to care about others?

Brian Lord frowned slightly, and Pat Kingsley was reminding him that she still has an Oscar queen under her hands!

In the past two years, it has happened frequently in CAA that agents bring clients to change jobs. Last year, an agent took Jim Carrey to another company directly.

It is impossible for CAA to ignore Nicole Kidman, the new Oscar winner, but the commercial value of Tom Cruise is not comparable to that of Nicole Kidman.

Brian Lord said solemnly: Pat, no matter what you did before, I hope that similar things will not happen again in the future.

This is a serious warning, but it is also to preserve the interests of CAA to the greatest extent possible.

Pat Kingsley knew that the company's left-hand interests wanted to be taken, and the right-hand interests were not willing to give up, so she said calmly: This matter has nothing to do with me. I am a professional broker and will not harm the interests of clients. Even former clients.

Brian Lord's stern eyes carry a clear warning: It's best this way.

Pat Kingsley said: I am the company's agent, and I will definitely abide by the company's regulations.

Brian Lord glanced at her again, said nothing, and waved his hands gently.

Things have already happened, and the most important thing is to ensure the interests of the company. It is necessary to appease Tom Cruise and do media work, and we cannot easily lose the new Oscar queen.

Severe punishment for a veteran agent like Pat Kingsley can only be the last option.

Is it really necessary to force Pat Kingsley to switch clients like Nicole Kidman to other brokerage firms?

Pat Kingsley left in silence, left the office, went to the next floor, stood by the window at the end of the corridor, and looked at Beverly Hills not far away.

Her face is as deep as water. From a rational point of view, these things she did are very unwise, but not everyone can maintain rationality anytime and anywhere. A woman who has been betrayed by a man who has served her for more than ten years always has willful power .

But Tom Cruise is not easy to deal with, the influence of superstars is too great, and Brian Lord's warning cannot be ignored.

Now is not the time to have a stalemate with the brokerage company, and the brokerage company's reaction is also expected.

Pat Kingsley has dealt with media reporters all the year round, and she knows exactly what the entertainment media are. She just needs to cast a bait to let them smell the blood, and she doesn't need to do anything afterwards. It will be dug down automatically.

The bigger the celebrities, the more attention they can attract, and the more actual benefits they can bring to those media.

Pat Kingsley laughed suddenly, and there was no need to do anything next, just quietly be a bystander and watch Tom Cruise in disgrace.

A superstar has influence, but the greater the influence, the more willing the media is to dig up his scandals.

The benefits that superstar public relations can bring are often not as good as the effects of scandals.

In the next two days, the media did not stop at all. Tom Cruise’s public relations and CAA also greeted some media, but the two are very famous, but their influence on the media is not as great as imagined.

To be precise, in this era when traditional media has just begun to decline,

Stars and agents are involved in the interests of the media, after all, the former is more dependent on the latter.

In his office in Century City, Tom Cruise looked at the newspapers and magazines stacked in front of him, his face as dark as Will Smith's.

Walter. He looked at the agent opposite, pointed to the newspaper and said, Is this the crisis public relations you do?

His voice became higher and higher: You guys do this kind of work?

The agent named Walter was a little upset. CAA temporarily threw Tom Cruise's business to him, which was simply throwing him a big trouble.

If he really became Tom Cruise's agent, he would have nothing to say, and he wouldn't complain even if he broke his leg.

But he is very well-informed, knowing that Tom Cruise's sister is taking an agent license test, and as long as she gets the license, she will join CAA.

Why did Ms. Cruise come to CAA as an agent? Isn't this obvious?

He was just temporarily in charge of Tom Cruise's brokerage business, thinking that he would not seek merit but seek no fault, but who would have encountered such a bad thing again.

Walter said: Tom, CAA has been doing public relations for the past two days. Brian also personally visited the editorial offices of Vanity Fair and Hollywood Reporter. During the communication, you need to give us a little time.

Who in CAA doesn't know the value of Tom Cruise, crisis public relations have tried their best to do it.

Tom Cruise's face was still ugly, he knocked on the table and said, What about the result of your work? I didn't see it at all!

As a temporary business agent, Walter actually saw it very clearly from the perspective of a bystander. After thinking about it, he simply said: Tom, we are in your name and in the name of CAA. We communicated, and some mid-level media made concessions. But first-line newspapers and magazines like Vanity Fair, Hollywood Reporter, Variety Show and Entertainment Weekly did not work well.

What he said was the truth: Those gossip tabloids don't buy our account at all.

Tom Cruise snapped, Send them a lawyer's letter!

Walter said: The first-line media don't care, and the gossip entertainment tabloids want us to sue them.

After all, Tom Cruise is not a newcomer in Hollywood. He was just a little angry just now. After calming down a little, he realized that what his agent said was true.

Walter knew very well that he had to give Tom Cruise an explanation, and CAA also asked him to appease Tom Cruise. If Tom Cruise wanted to leave CAA in a fit of anger, it would be more than just that impulsive woman who would be unlucky , it is estimated that his temporary manager is not much better.

The woman had a powerful client like Nicole Kidman as a talisman, but he didn't.

Although CAA claims to be the number one in the industry, it is only an agency after all. Walter observed Tom Cruise, and said cautiously: In the film and television industry and entertainment industry, CAA is not considered a big company.

It's not that he belittled himself, but that a company with an annual profit of just over 100 million yuan is really nothing in Hollywood.

Tom Cruise didn't understand what Walter meant by that.

Walter said as soon as possible: The cooperation between CAA and the media is more based on the human relationship of the network, and the direct interest relationship with the front-line media is relatively small. When the interests are large enough, the human relationship of CAA is not enough.

What do you mean... Tom Cruise seemed to understand something.

Walter continued: In front of the news about you, the front-line media, and the effects that these news can bring to the front-line media, CAA does not carry enough weight, and does not have enough interests with them, so our words have no weight. , PR work is also particularly difficult.”

Tom Cruise was just angry, but not dizzy, and said, What's your suggestion?

Walter said seriously: This matter is complicated and very complicated, but it is also very simple to say. Find someone or a company that has close cooperation with the entertainment media and has major interests, and go to say hello to those media, which is better than us doing it with a blunt mouth. PR is much more useful.”

He knows that there are such people in Tom Cruise's social circle, and Tom Cruise has established a very good friendship before the other party's fortune.

Some people in the circle even say that they are buddies.

Tom Cruise instantly understood what Walter meant, and subconsciously asked, Are you talking about Ronan?

Walter nodded slowly but firmly: Mr. Anderson's Relativity Entertainment Group has placed a large amount of advertising in the first-line entertainment media in the past two years. According to my understanding, Relativity Entertainment's advertising spending on some media can even rank among the top five in Hollywood. name.

I don't want to cause trouble for Ronan. Tom Cruise said coldly: This is the work of CAA, and you have no reason to pass it on to Ronan.

This was completely beyond Walter's expectations, and he couldn't help but glance at Tom Cruise. It seemed that the rumors in the circle were correct, and that Tom Cruise and Ronan Anderson had a pretty good relationship.

Fortunately, CAA also anticipated this possibility.

Just as Walter was trying to figure out how to keep doing Tom Cruise's work, Tom Cruise's cell phone rang.

Tom Cruise took a look, it was Ronan who was calling, and he walked out of the office to answer.

Hi, Ronan. Tom Cruise's voice was very relaxed: Why are you calling at this time?

Ronan, who was far away in San Francisco, said directly: I heard that you are in trouble?

Tom Cruise smiled: A little thing.

Ronan said seriously: Recently, Netflix is ​​developing new business, and I'm so busy. If Brian didn't call me, I wouldn't know what happened.

It's all over the media, and Tom Cruise can't deny it, saying, I'm overestimating some people's professionalism.

Do you need my help? Ronan asked.

Now that this is the case, Tom Cruise is no longer polite, saying: I'm a little confused here.

Ronan said, I'm going back to Los Angeles today.

Tom Cruise hung up the phone and sighed softly, Ronan is still the most reliable.
