Facing the company president’s question, Martha thought for a while.

Thinking about some of his opinions when he met Qin Dong before, he shook his head hesitantly:

"President, I think it's unlikely."

Martin did not speak, but stretched out his hand to signal to continue speaking.

Martha recalled:

"President, this young man is very confident. Even though he is a young man, a new director, and from China, when he comes to our side, he talks and laughs in front of Scarlett, and he speaks sharply in front of me.

They didn’t take me seriously at all, which is different from how insiders from other countries treated us in Hollywood.”

"Coupled with Thomson's introduction just now, this young man actually invested in his own films. This style is very different from the directors here. It can be seen that... his confidence has reached the level of arrogance."

"He extremely believes in his scripts and his movies, which must be profitable."

"President, please forgive me for the rash words below. Since both of his scripts are co-productions, it seems that he has no plans to develop here. Under such circumstances, I don't think our CAA can be of any help to this director, so he

Why do you want to sign a contract with our company? Do you think the money is too much and you want to share it with us?"

The reason why Martha dared to say such things is because of CAA's culture.

In many morning meetings, everyone has the right to speak and brainstorm ideas.

So Martha didn't worry about angering Martin.

Sure enough, Martin was not angry, but was thoughtful, thinking about Martha's words, and slowly analyzed by himself:

"A director needs first of all a good script, then the cost of the film, which needs to be brought in, and then the actors, crew, other guilds, and finally the distribution company."

"This Chinese director writes his own script and has his own money to invest. Even if the co-production requires a foreign distribution company, with the existence of China Film, several major Hollywood distribution companies are willing to take over. We really don't need CAA for these."

"For a co-production, the actors and crew must be from abroad, but these are not a problem, they can be found casually."

"Such a result..."

Martin knocked on the table and thought:

"The less hope there is, the more interested I am in this young director. Such a person is very popular. If his talent is really that great, he may become a world-class director in the future."

"After all, his two films have already made a lot of money, and with the upcoming third film and two co-production scripts, although he is a newcomer, he is not a real newcomer. He has already proven his talent as a director.

Already."

"What's more..."

A world-class director is of infinite help to the agency.

Just like several famous directors in Hollywood currently, you can choose whoever you want to be the leading actor. If you are a director of your own company, then the actors will most likely be selected from the actors of your own company.

There are some things that Martin has not finished saying. There is no need to say these to the people below.

"puff..."

Scarlett smiled.

"Hmm? Miss Scarlett, what makes you so happy?"

Martin, who was originally deep in thought, frowned when faced with this situation.

"Oh, sorry."

Scarlett also knew that she was being rude, so she couldn't hold it back and explained with a smile:

"Martin, I just heard your words and remembered a fable sentence Qin said to me before."

Faced with Martin's questioning look, Scarlett smiled and explained:

"I just went with Martha to deal with him and didn't take the invitation seriously. But after reading the script, I realized I was wrong, so I apologized for underestimating him before."

"But Qin said he didn't care. He compared himself to a flower and his talent to the fragrance when the flower blooms."

"He said that when the flowers bloom, the fragrance will make butterflies come around."

"What you just said reminded me of this sentence. You are like a butterfly being attracted, haha..."

At the end, Scarlett smiled again.

Martin's expression froze. This sounded awkward. We are not gay, but this guy was right. He really had a strong interest in this director.

But Martin was just awkward and not angry. He looked at Scarlett and asked:

"So, our Miss Scarlett, are you attracted to Qin, this young director?"

Scarlett laughed and shrugged:

"Okay, I admit, I am also attracted by butterflies. I am moved by the talent of such a young director."

"I really want to know more about him, as if he is a treasure."

There is nothing unexpected about Martin. There are not many simple actresses in Hollywood.

Faced with a talented young director, there are many actresses who are interested in him, so I understand the meaning behind it.

Just like the popular film "Black Swan" that is about to be held at the new Oscars, this film was originally prepared by director Darren for his girlfriend Rachel, who has been dating for almost ten years, and Rachel has given birth to him.

a son.

However, when the filming was about to start, someone took away his love and the heroine's position was taken by another woman, which directly led to the breakup of the couple who had been in love for ten years.

What happens inside is not a secret within the industry.

It's such a normal method. When it comes to fighting, not all Hollywood actresses are good at it.

"So, Miss Scarlett, do you have a way to get this young director to join us at CAA?"

Scarlett heard this and asked:

"Martin, this is your company's business. I am a customer, not your employee. What benefits do I have?"

Martin laughed:

"The company will increase its investment in you and strive to let you star in more good commercial movies. The company can even privately reduce your commission ratio."

Scarlett smiled with satisfaction after hearing this:

"I accept this condition, but I can't guarantee that it can be achieved."

Martin smiled and said suggestively:

"I don't believe that a young man can resist your beauty Scarlett, I believe in you."

Scarlett clearly understood the meaning of these words and had no other expression:

"Maybe. Although Qin said that I am the person he likes in our circle, I am just one of them."

"He has other actresses he likes over here in Hollywood."

"He is a genius and a veteran. He is very humorous and talkative. He is not at all like the Chinese people I know. He is even talkative and funnier than the Chinese."

Martin smiled when he heard this. As long as there is a weakness, it will be easy to deal with, and asked:

"Who are the others?"

Scarlett didn't say anything, but looked at Martha.

Martha interface said:

"The president is Nicole Kidman, Cate Brant, Anne Hedwig, Evangeline Lilly, and a person named Elizabeth Olsen. Martha doesn't even know this person. There is also a new person this year.

The heroine of the just-released literary film [Bone Winter] is Jennifer Lawrence, who has just turned 20."

When Martin heard this, he tapped his fingers lightly on the table and spoke slowly:

"Nicole is an artist in our company, so this is easy to handle."

"It's just Kate, Anne, and Evangeline. These three are difficult to deal with. They belong to artists from two other agencies at the same level as our company."

"For the remaining two newcomers, Martha, please pay attention and find out which company they belong to. Then dig them over for me."

Cate Brandt is a veteran star. She has been nominated for three Oscars for Best Actress, once for Best Supporting Actress, and won one Oscar for Best Actress. Her acting skills are highly admired.

Anne Hedwig is the new generation of actresses who can best handle commercial films, and her current performance has surpassed that of Scarlett by a lot.

Evangeline Lilly is the heroine of the popular TV series "Lost" which ended for six seasons until this year. She is a TV star. She has moved to the film industry this year. She has just taken on the DreamWorks masterpiece "Tekken" and also

He is considered a famous person.

It's hard to find people like this, and Martin knows very well that it takes a lot of effort to find someone.

But facing newcomers like Jennifer and Elizabeth, who he had no idea who he was, Martin didn't care about these two people.

"By the way, Martha, how long did Qin say he would stay here?"

"No, but he said he wouldn't stay any longer. He only gave us two days to respond to this contract, and his tone was very tough."

"Two days..."

Martin thought for a while and told Scarlett:

"Two days later, I will hold a private banquet at my manor. Scarlett, tell Qin that Nicole will also show up. Plus you and Martha, it will be a private banquet for five people. You invite Qin on my behalf.

"

"In two days, do you think you can handle Qin?"

Scarlett shook her head:

"NO, Martin, I'm really not sure, I can only say try my best."

He stood up and said:

"We don't have much time. I'm going to talk to Qin and see if we can have a romantic dinner together tonight."

"Good-bye, Martin, good-bye, Martha, good-bye, Thomson."

After saying that, he took his bag and walked away gracefully.
