A cup of dark beer was delivered to more than a dozen dining tables like running water. The aroma of barbecue floated everywhere, and the sound of clinking glasses kept ringing. The crew, who had been busy for a long time, ushered in a rare moment of relaxation, especially the boss and director vomited blood. This refreshing feeling is really rare for the employees of the crew.
In their eyes, Murphy is simply synonymous with miser.
But Bill Roses, who was sitting at the same table with Murphy, didn't see this way. In his eyes, Murphy was a person who knew how to make plans very well.
The importance of the plan to a director is self-evident.
I had already talked about the topic of brokerage business. After drinking and eating, Murphy mentioned it again, "Bill, to be honest, I don't need a broker now. I'm shooting a video that I invested all."
Putting down the wine glass, Bill Roses raised his finger and shook it at Murphy, "Yes, your crew has gone through the most difficult beginning stage and entered normal operation. An agent will indeed not help you with the shooting."
He aggravated his tone, "But Murphy, have you ever thought about how the videos you made should enter the distribution channel?"
Murphy opened his mouth but said nothing. He had already considered distribution issues, and the best way was to go to many Hollywood distribution companies to sell videos.
There is really nothing to say about this kind of solution that any industry insider can think of.
"With my joining, the situation is different." The agents are undoubtedly versatile people, and Bill Roses is no exception. "I am just an ordinary entertainment agent, but I have a huge company behind me, and I can use a considerable resource in the company. I believe you also know the strength and status of my brokerage company in the industry."
When signing with Carrey Mulligan, Murphy knew that Bill Roses came from a huge entertainment agency empire - CAA!
Bill Rossis continued, "I know many people, even if they are not the company's resources, but my own network of relationships can help you introduce some buyers of distribution companies, and can also help you run the screening of independent film festivals and sell the films."
Murphy gently tapped the tabletop with his right index finger, obviously thinking.
"I guess you know very well..." Bill Roses continued to pursue, "If a video was shot but could not enter the distribution channel, the meaning of existence was almost zero."
This view coincides with Murphy. Any wonderful film is only the basis for success, and complete promotion and promotion are the necessary conditions for shining.
Not to mention the actual average quality videos he filmed, even those recognized classic videos, how many of them failed because of the promotional and promotional issues made the investors vomit blood and die?
He has no qualifications, no network, and no distribution channel. If he can borrow the power of his agent, he will face less difficulties after the film is completed.
Murphy is not so naive that he thinks that the filming is over, so he finds several distribution companies and throws out a promotional plan, and the other party will obediently take the bait and sign a fairer distribution contract with him.
That's an idea that only kindergarten children have. How difficult it is to release independent movies in Hollywood, even those who are just new to the entertainment industry know it clearly.
"Murphy, I cannot guarantee how much resources CAA will invest in you, and with my position in the company, I cannot make such a guarantee."
Bill Roses knows that if you want to impress someone like Murphy, it is better not to talk big. It is more effective to show enough sincerity. "But I will do my best to run this video for you and find the right distribution channel for it so that "Fruit Hard Candy" can really appear in front of the audience, rather than being piled up in the warehouse."
"Oh, it sounds really touching." Murphy raised his eyebrows, but let go. "There is one thing you need to know. I knocked $100,000 from Kobe Bryant, and the person who handled it should come from you CAA."
"Those are not problems." Bill Rossis didn't care at all. "We are two completely different departments from sports agents, and the basketball department is not American football, so CAA doesn't pay much attention to it."
This is an invitation from a CAA's agent. Thinking about CAA's strength and status in the entertainment brokerage field, it is definitely a lie to Murphy's unmoved words, and it is not unreasonable to rely on a big tree to enjoy the shade.
After weighing the trade-offs for a while, Murphy spoke slowly, "Let me think about it for a while. I will give you a definite answer before the production of "Hard Fruit Candy".
Bill Roses stretched out a hand, "A word is certain."
Murphy slapped him in the hand, "A word is certain!"
Both of them actually had their own ideas. It was natural that Murphy wanted to borrow the resources of agents like Bill Roses who had certain qualifications in Hollywood. Bill Roses' words may not be completely credible. Murphy signed an agency contract with him, and his only one potential stock under his belt. Murphy did not sign the contract in the end. He did not lose any losses except wasting some saliva.
Entertainment brokers are all extremely smart characters, how can they do business at a loss?
The words just now are just a verbal statement.
Of course, Murphy knew this, but if he had an excellent agent, he would definitely avoid detours in the future.
"It's getting late." Bill Rossis looked at his watch and said goodbye. "I'm going to rush back to Los Angeles and leave first."
"Goodbye." Murphy didn't keep him, but just reminded, "Bill, return my heroine to me as soon as possible."
"You'll see him soon."
Bill Rossis turned around and left. Before he could walk out of the barbecue restaurant, James Franco came to Murphy with a large glass of dark beer. He was not polite and sat directly opposite him.
"Cheers!" He touched Murphy's cup on the table, raised his head and drank a big sip of beer. Murphy picked up the wine glass, "Cheers."
He also took a big sip.
Perhaps because of the overdose, James Franco had a bit of drunkenness on his face, "Do you know, Murphy, in this crew, you are the one I admire most."
"No..." He waved his hand, "Among the people I have met in the past two years, you are the one I admire the most."
"Hmm?" Murphy expressed confusion.
"Can you make a devilish girl play around..." James Franco said in a low voice with alcohol, "Isn't it worth admiring to think you are the best person in the world?"
Murphy shook his head, instead of answering his words, "You're drunk too much, Jim, it's time to go back and take a rest, and you'll have to shoot tomorrow."
