Chapter 70 Inner Temperament
Night changed to day, and it was the second day.
The room, the same room.
On the bed, Eva Green was like an octopus, tightly wrapping around Lyman.
Hee hee Soso... Eva Green opened her eyes in a daze, her eyes fell on Lyman's face for a few seconds, and then her eyes became clear.
She slowly got up, picked up her clothes, and slipped into the bathroom...
In the past year or so, the hardships of work and the anxiety of life have made Lehman physically and mentally exhausted every day. He has been concentrating on expanding his career, and has never considered anything else.
But he is not the little chubby man that Ryan sneered at. He had experienced a lot in his previous life, so how could he not understand Eva Green's series of operations.
In this way, he can see more.
Perhaps the society in many regions tends to be conservative as a whole, but this does not include the entertainment industry.
This industry is different from many circles, and there is no way to use normal social standards to require and regulate people and behaviors in this circle.
Assuming that there was no sense of touch and oppression next to his body, Lyman also woke up.
He first looked around and couldn't see Eva Green's figure, but he didn't think much about it.
He stretched out comfortably and got ready to get up.
It's been a long time since I slept so comfortably, and my mental and physical state seemed to be very good.
He casually took the clothes left at the end of the bed, picked up his trousers from the ground, and put them on neatly.
Walking out of the bedroom, following the sound from the right direction, I came to the door of a kitchen.
Are you making breakfast? Lehmann asked, leaning against the door frame, looking at Eva Green's graceful figure.
Eva Green turned her head and smiled, I made a caviar sandwich, I don't know if you'll like it.
Of course, I'll definitely like it. Lyman nodded and asked again, Where is the bathroom?
In the compartment on the right hand side of the bedroom.
Then I'm going to wash up first, ready to enjoy a delicious breakfast sandwich. After Lehman finished speaking, he turned to look for the bathroom.
After breakfast, Eva Green sent Lyman out of the apartment building.
This is my contact information. If you have any questions, call me. On a walkway by the side of the road, Lyman took out his business card and handed it to Eva Green.
She took it carefully, turned around and returned to the apartment building.
The events of last night are in the past, and both of them are very rational.
There was no bloody plot.
As far as Lehmann was concerned, he had little affection for the girl he met for the first time. That night can happen, only because the moon is so beautiful, and midnight is charming.
As for Eva Green, who knows what she thinks?
That doesn't matter, anyway, Lehman didn't want to involve any unwarranted feelings in it.
Raised his head and looked at the sky, the sun shines on his pupils, making them extremely dazzling.
......
In the Hollywood film industry, agents play a very special role. They will not personally participate in the production and shooting of any film and television drama, but they can still grasp the lifeline of film development.
A simple summary of their tedious and complex work is the intermediary service.
Find suitable film projects for actors, recommend suitable actors for film companies, and strive for higher and better salaries and working conditions for our clients.
It seems that they are active behind the scenes, but in terms of the status of the entire industry, they are not bad.
A top agent, even higher than a senior producer, is also the object of countless people.
For example, Kevin Howian, who invited Lyman, has a lot of first-line actor and star resources; the film company needs to negotiate the terms of the performance through him.
Actors also hope to find excellent film projects through him. He is like a transit station. Countless news and information in the circle are digested in his hands, and then redistributed to become the foundation for laying a film plan.
It can also be understood in this way, the more senior the broker, the more resources he has in his hands, and his status will also increase.
As one of the top executives of CAA, Kevin Howian has extraordinary abilities.
When Lyman received his invitation, he naturally wanted to hear his conditions. Today is not the same as in the past, and he does need an agent to help him manage his business.
In a cafe, the melodious and soothing piano tunes set off the quiet here.
Kevin Howian sat by the window and watched Lehmann approach step by step.
I'm sorry, I'm late and I was delayed on the way.
It's okay, I just arrived.
After greeting each other, Lyman sat in the seat opposite Kevin Howard.
I've seen two of your director's works, and they were great! Kevin Howian said first. When facing a director, it is always okay to praise his ability first.
Um.
A trace of doubt flashed in Kevin Howian's eyes, and Lehman's behavior was wrong. Are you not happy with the compliment just now? His expression was so calm, as if I was talking nonsense.
As I said yesterday, we at CAA sincerely invite you to join us.
Haha, is that so. Lehman's answer was still flattering.
At this time, what he thought in his heart, what's the use of saying sincerity only, come out with something practical.
Our CAA is the largest brokerage company in Hollywood, occupying most of the market for high-end actors. As long as you join us, our resources will definitely give priority to you...
Kevin Howian was talking about his conditions, but his eyes were still on Lyman.
He still smiled with the corners of his mouth raised, and did not make a comment during the period.
Is it because he doesn't have a clear understanding of his identity, or because he has already made plans? Has another agency met him privately? Or does it mean that he has no accurate understanding of the importance of an agent, and thinks that he can handle his directorial affairs without an agent?
However, that doesn't seem to matter.
The choice between brokers and clients is a two-way process, and both parties hope to find better partners and seek greater benefits together. So no matter what, you just need to give the conditions first. As for how to choose, that's someone else's business.
CAA does not have to have him, without him, CAA is still CAA.
This is the confidence of a top brokerage firm.
How? Are you satisfied with our terms?
Ryman didn't answer the question immediately, but paused for a moment and said seriously, Can I give my own opinion?
Please.
I'm not very satisfied with your packing service. Lehmann said calmly: You just said so much, many of which are in line with my heart, and I really don't want those tedious negotiation work to waste my time, but , the one you said is the most favorable is exactly what I don't like the most.
Oh, why? The service we provide will allow you to concentrate more on your directing career, isn't it exactly what you need?
However, I love building my own film crew, and it totally collided with this one.
Indeed, any director with a strong desire to control will not be satisfied with this.
According to CAA, if the service is packaged, it is still unknown whether the crew is the director or CAA. No one wants to be just a filming puppet, and Lehman is even more reluctant, let alone He has already achieved a little bit now, and even if he didn't, he wouldn't agree to such a request. Can you imagine that the entire crew is more than half from CAA?
We can discuss, and you can also talk about your own conditions.
With Lehman's ability and status, it's enough to make CAA pay more. Kevin Howian thought about it before he came.
The addition of such a director to CAA can bring not only a little commission in revenue, but also a lot of opportunities to appear in movies.
There are so many roles, CAA can get it quickly, and the asking price is fair, so I won't be unhappy. This will not be a bad thing for those actor clients that CAA has.
And it's something that is obvious to any director to think about.
Between the pros and cons, it's up to you to choose.
First, I don't want the agency behind me to interfere too much with my crew; second, the agency can't interfere with my personal life.
Kevin - Howian smiled, You are the director, we will not interfere in your private life at all, and we will not make any demands on your partner and other individuals, in addition to the first point, there are still some doubts, the second I can totally agree on behalf of CAA. Lehmann is not a star, and he does not need CAA to carefully maintain his image.
Also, what do you think it means to interfere with the crew?
You can provide information about the actors, whether you use them or not is entirely up to me, and you can't put people into the crew, how about it, can you agree?
Kevin Howian hesitated and didn't answer.
According to this view, the brokerage company can only be in the position of a very basic service provider.
I need to think about it.
Well, let's go here today.
The two shook hands amicably and then parted ways.
For Lyman or Kevin Howian, this kind of thing is urgent, and no one will just listen to a series of opening checks from the other party, and rashly agree, just like a film company will strictly review the requirements. The films that are approved for the project are generally, which also requires a mutual inspection process for both parties.
Whether it is CAA or any other brokerage firm, Lehmann will not make decisions lightly.
If you need service, you need service, but you can't give up your own conditions. Otherwise, he would rather not have a broker to help him manage his business.
