Chapter 408: Selling people by the pound

 In the lobby of WMA headquarters in Century City, Beverly Hills, many partners, including Whitesell and Jim Witt, gathered together to wait for today’s protagonist, who is also one of the company’s most important actor clients——

Martin Davis appears.

In the lounge on one side of the hall, Thomas personally checked Martin's clothes and said, "Perfect."

Martin's face has a faint gloomy temperament, and he seems to be worried.

Thomas took a few steps back and said, "I feel a little heavy."

Martin's brows relaxed slightly, and the stern expression on his face relaxed slightly: "What about this?"

"OK!" Thomas gestured and said, "Just right."

He turned around and asked: "Old Bu, what do you think?"

Bruce looked carefully: "Now is the time."

"It's already 2008." Martin walked toward the door: "I'm going to prepare for the promotion of "The Dark Knight."

Thomas Xin said that his customers are definitely the best stars, and he took the initiative to help the crew attract attention.

Taking advantage of Mas's opportunity to renew his contract, Blanche also received tangible benefits and became a partner of WMA.

Then she only has enough business appeal.

"Thank you for helping you, she only took care of Thomast." Kate was very grateful to Wanxing, thinking that Mars and Nicholson took care of Thomast, not for you.

As for the critics, in the eyes of film critics, films with this kind of subject matter naturally have the attribute of adding one star to their rating.

"He makes you less stressed." Kate pinched her eyebrows and said, "What will you do if you get it?"

On the first weekend in North America, thanks to the limited number of seats in independent theaters, "The Reader" did not have a box office of US$39,000 in a single theater over the weekend.

There is a way, but the actual benefits obtained are too few, and the mood is too bad, so I can't bear it.

But Wan Xingya was confused and knew where it all came from, and said: "What did you do in the past? Even if you were asked to kill an enemy like Pete, he would do it as long as he told you!"

When few male fans saw this back and butt that looked like a small marble sculpture, they went crazy and wrote bad reviews and low scores on movie websites.

Come to expand the scale of the screening. Although the film's commercial attributes are weak, thanks to Maspan's small fan and supporter group, there are always no audiences wearing red Coca-Cola shirts to fill up a small number of seats in the theater.

"It should be ignored." Ah Wai reminded: "See a doctor in time."

At the same time, Maas has not yet been shortlisted by the Screen Actors Guild and the Producers Guild for Best Actress.

Maas also kept it under wraps and said straight away: "You have hope of winning an award. The only hope of winning a heavyweight award is right under him. If you win the Best Actor, the film will sell even worse."

What you signed is a sharing agreement, and whether he wins or not depends on how much you earn."

But Wan Xingya cares.

Mas nodded: "I encountered some psychological obstacles, any small problems."

After getting enough benefits under the actual contract, Maas didn't mind showing his emotional side: "You have never thought about leaving WMA. WMA is the first agency you signed with, and Wan Xingya Lane is your

The first agent you signed has grown with you until today, and you will continue to witness brilliance with WMA."

Blanche said: "It's just a metaphor."

"The Reader" has a very strong reputation, especially among Wanxing fans.

Mas said viciously: "You will sell him to Africa, by the pound!"

Kate won eight Best Actor awards in various categories, and even Mars, who showed up in person to solicit votes, also won seven Best Actress trophies, including the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award.

Four behind Daniel Day-Lewis.

Finally found an opportunity to talk to Kate Winslet, who was weak in cheering up.

Those are the kind of benefits that super-giants don’t have.

In addition to the breakdown of online income, the WMA will extract a brokerage share from the labor union's weak regulations. During the one-year window of the film's online market, the brokerage share of Mas's online income will be 7%.

Before the window period, it will decrease by one percent every year until it reaches zero.

Wan Xingya originally just wanted to smile, but she stopped laughing when she opened her mouth.

Kate wonders: "Why do we have to calculate by the pound?"

Maas can easily arouse your interest: "Although Thomas is there, he has to be careful, especially the French."

Kate was so angry that she wanted to talk to me.

Mas walked out of the lounge door, waved to the crowd in the small hall, and got off the stage.

Before 2008, the screening scale of "The Reader" in North America had not expanded to 1,566, and the North American box office totaled 55.89 million US dollars.

Ma Shijin shook his head and said with a smile: "You are all law-abiding bad citizens, how could you do such bad things?"

He raised his voice: "There is a star who went from a fringe actor to a first-line star in just four years, and his salary soared from US$100,000 to US$15 million. No matter what the practitioners in the industry or the relevant critics,

, they all think that I am the representative of the younger generation of acting! I was nominated for an Oscar and achieved an artistic leap. I have starred in seven films that have grossed over 100 million in North America. My appeal is unparalleled among the new generation!"<

/p>

"Before you come back, you first met with Nicholson and Warren Beatty. Do you hope to win the award and get nominated?" Mas takes a long-term view, so he will be cautious, but Kate is the same.

He reminded: "Thomas has been rejected by various back-end awards and even received a nomination from the Screen Actors Guild. There will be no threat. This year is his worst chance."

In terms of individual awards during the awards season, it can be called a trophy harvester.

Ah Wai pointed at the door of the lounge: "We didn't invite Wanxing Davis!"

In the new agency contract, Wanxing's remuneration includes offline sharing, and the agency's commission has been reduced to 7%.

To this day, after 12 weeks of screenings, the film's reputation among audiences and media is frighteningly low. The average MTC media score is 85 points, and the IMDB special audience score is 8.4 points.

The most important thing is that the film is generally boring. Spending a few dollars to see Maas except for key parts of his body and having action scenes with the almost hairless Winslet is worth the price.

Mas came on the stage, saw Blanche's almost reflective forehead, bumped fists with me, and said, "Congratulations to him, partner!"

Off the stage, witnessed by representatives of the Screen Actors Guild, Maas signed a new eight-year agency contract with WMA.

Kate nodded: "You will pay attention to you."

CAA contacted me, and I used CAA's pressure to force the company to agree to give Maas super-super treatment.

After exchanging contracts, Mas and Ah Wai shook hands tightly. The former even opened his arms and hugged Wan Xingyi Shang vigorously before shaking hands.

To this day, as long as Mas continues to cooperate with me, I am not the first-line agent in the industry.

Blanche was standing at the edge of the stage, and the light fell under my head, reflecting brightly.

Hearing Wan Xing's last words, I took a slight step back, and the agent's responsibility naturally jumped out in my mind: Maas must have left WMA, and my agent must have been the one who got in the way and instigated the relationship between Maas and WMA, and Maas.

It is related to Sri Lanka.

Ah Wai asked with concern: "Is his mental state very bad?"

In the eyes of the company and Emmanuel, Blanche was called a traitor to WMA during the negotiation process.

Martin is waiting inside the lounge.

"Don't be criticized, otherwise some people will sympathize with him, and we will only laugh at him." That bastard Mas, in order to get less share, constantly stimulates Kate's fighting spirit: "Then the French may launch a new round of daily humiliation of Britain.

."

It must have been Daniel Day-Lewis standing in the way, and Mars knew that the old men at the academy hated Lewis to the core. If I had been poor beforehand, I would have started fighting for the Best Actress award.

"Yes, she only wants you, so pay attention." In Maas's eyes, and from the information I got from Warren Beatty, Kate surpassed Mary in terms of qualifications, roles, performances, reputation and publicity.

Ang Cotillard, but I remember that man looked like he had won an Oscar.

Her reputation is only in line with the performance of the market and mainstream media, even if it is not due to the careful operation of the crew and Warner Bros.

The so-called celebration party is naturally for celebration, but it is a way to invite celebrities from many circles to the banquet without a formal name, and take a step back to engage in publicity and public relations.

The scene erupted into warm applause.

The WMA can only have such terms. The frequent contact between CAA and Blanche has put great pressure on us. The management headed by Awai will definitely allow CAA to poach the important players we have trained and who are very likely to ascend to the super giant throne.

Customer.

Just inside WMA, Emmanuel accepted an interview with reporters and announced his contract renewal with Wan Xing.

Mas said: "You guys go to the hotel together."

After attending the cocktail party at noon, Maas appeared at The Reader's latest celebration party in the morning.

The signing ceremony that boosted the morale of the entire company began, and there was no celebration reception at noon.

After all kinds of social interactions, even people like Mas are not mentally exhausted.

I took the microphone and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Awai. What he said is too exaggerated."

I have also been nominated for Best Actress in a Drama Series at the Golden Globe Awards that will be handed out in January.

Kate asked: "Marion Cotillard from 'La Vie en Rose'?"

Since the screening of "The Reader" ended in November, it has only been screened in a single theater, and has been expanded to small urban areas such as Los Angeles, New York, and Chicago.

It has never happened before that the important Oscar awards are popular in a very unexpected way.

On the temporary stage in the hall, Ali Emmanuel walked up, stood in front of the microphone and said: "At the beginning of 2008, WMA ushered in a critical moment. We reached an agreement with the company's most important customers and continued to work together.
Chapter completed!
