Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

Los Angeles, USA

CAA

In an office with no job title

Looking at the invitation letter in his hand, the head of CAA, Michael Ovitz, couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Michael Ovitz envied and hated Boss Yang's wedding again.

If a man does what Boss Yang does, his life will be worthwhile.

The last time he failed to attend the wedding of the century, he has always regretted it deeply. Although CAA has become the most powerful agency in Hollywood, compared with the people Yang Chen invited before, there is still a big gap.

Now that Boss Yang is getting married again, he specially sent him an invitation letter, which can bring a partner, which makes Michael Ovitz feel an indescribable joy.

However, at this time, Michael Ovitz had two invitation letters, one of which was a person's name, which surprised Michael Ovitz.

Because the name on the invitation letter is James Cameron, a contracted director under CAA.

In [-], James Cameron became famous for writing and directing the science fiction film "Terminator", and later became a signed director of CAA.

After the Terminator, Cameron and Sylvester Stallone co-wrote the script of "First Blood 2".

Immediately afterwards, he wrote and directed the second work "Alien 2" for which James Cameron won the No.14 Saturn Award for Best Director.

Although James Cameron is an excellent director, his influence is limited to Hollywood. The other party’s Titanic and Avatar have not yet come out. At this time, James Cameron is still a long way from a world-class director. The distance, so Michael Ovitz is a little puzzled, how the other party caught the attention of Boss Yang.

dong dong——

There was a knock on the door

"Come in" Michael Ovitz recovered from his thoughts.

"Boss, Director Cameron is here."

"Please come in!"

After Cameron entered the office, he said directly: "Mr. Ovitz, are you looking for me? What's the matter? I'm very busy now, and I'm busy preparing for the shooting of "The Abyss". Time is precious."

Michael Ovitz handed the invitation letter to James Cameron and said, "Stop what you're doing first, and take a look at this."

"What's this? You know, I don't like to attend those nasty parties. If it's an investor, there's no problem."

Michael Ovitz shook his head without speaking, and motioned James Cameron to watch for himself. Michael Ovitz didn't care about James Cameron's rudeness.

In order to ensure the stability of CAA itself and the agents will not collectively betray, Michael Ovitz carefully set the "betrayal cost".

For example, superstars are not solely in charge of a single agent, which ensures that the agent has a considerable income, making CAA monopolize the entire industry chain, and making it impossible for those who betray CAA to gather top resources.

At the same time, in order to create an internal atmosphere of equality, employees in CAA generally only have first names, no titles, and no signage in the office. Anyone can use the conference room and reception room, and even the salary slips are arranged alphabetically by surname.

Various measures have made CAA develop rapidly from the early 80s. Even Michael Ovitz himself has to abide by the company's regulations.

Equal communication, this is his daily work habit with his agents and stars, so that he can better understand everyone's true thoughts.

Seeing James Cameron standing there silently, Michael Ovitz frowned and asked, "Have you finished watching?"

"It's over." James Cameron suddenly raised his head, looked at Michael Ovitz, and asked, "Is this true?"

"What?" Michael Ovitz was puzzled.

James Cameron pointed to the invitation letter in his hand, and said a little excitedly: "This invitation letter, oh, I mean, it means, invite me to the wedding, is this true? You are not kidding me Bar?"

Michael Ovitz picked up his invitation letter, waved it in front of James Cameron, and said, "The invitation letter cannot be faked. I have another copy here."

With the affirmation of Michael Ovitz, James Cameron has no doubts anymore, but he is a little puzzled, how could he have an invitation letter? Could it be that Boss Yang's second marriage has relaxed the invitation restrictions?

Michael Ovitz asked James Cameron with some curiosity, "Do you know Yang?"

The acquaintance mentioned by Michael Ovitz refers to whether Yang Chen knows Cameron, and whether he has a personal relationship.

James Cameron shook his head, saying that he did not know him. He is a small director, and he has only written and directed two films. Although the film scores are good, there are more famous directors in Hollywood than him. The richest man, Boss Yang.

'do not know? Seeing James Cameron shaking his head, Michael Ovitz became even more curious. Since he didn't know him, why did James Cameron attract the attention of Boss Yang, and he even got an invitation letter.

After thinking for a while, Michael Ovitz, who couldn't figure out why, shook his head and stopped thinking about this issue.

Now that the invitation letter was in his hands, and James Cameron's name was also on the right page, it was obviously not a mistake, and he couldn't figure it out, so he didn't want to.

Michael Ovitz reminded: "This invitation letter, in addition to yourself, can also bring a partner. As for who can accompany you, there is no limit.

However, the premise is that you need to report your personal information. There is a contact number on the invitation letter, and the Yang’s consortium will conduct an investigation and verification, so the person you choose should not be someone of unknown origin..."

James Cameron nodded seriously. He has also heard of the name of Yang's security.

It was rumored that everyone who could see or contact Boss Yang would be investigated by Yang's security.

It is no exaggeration to say that the security level around Boss Yang is even stricter than that of the President of the United States. It is basically impossible for anyone who is suspicious of Yang's security to enter in front of Boss Yang.

As for Boss Yang's wedding scene, needless to say, no one wants to be destroyed on such a beautiful day, so strict inspections are understandable.

James Cameron was very excited about being able to get the invitation. Although he didn't know why he got the invitation, he knew that his life might change dramatically.

As a director, what you need most is undoubtedly an investor. No matter how good a script you have, without investors, everything is impossible to talk about.

And who is Boss Yang?The richest man in the world, if he can get the other party's investment, what kind of big truck can't be photographed?

Chapter 1074 Alisa = Titanic

A week later, the Alisa departed from the port of London.

This time, those who participated in the wedding will spend two months traveling around the world on the Alisa.

That's right, world travel.

The final destination of the Alisa will be Xiangjiang.

Of course, the wedding of Yang Chen and Alyssa will be held in the waters between England and Iceland. After the wedding is over, the Alyssa will set off for Xiangjiang.

The reason for this round-the-world trip is that Yang Chen is going to start a cruise company. A giant ship like the Alisa has far more wear and tear than an airplane.

Although Yang Chen doesn't lack that little money, it would be a huge waste if he keeps putting it in the port.

Unlike airplanes, no matter where they go, it takes at most a day or two. Compared with airplanes, cruise ships are much slower, and it takes a few months to go back and forth.

The time is too long, and the trip, the Alisa is too big, far less comfortable than a smaller luxury yacht.

Therefore, it is undoubtedly very appropriate to turn the Alisa into a Titanic. For this reason, he specially invited Cameron to let the other party experience it for himself and see if the Titanic can be born in advance.

Although Yang Chen and Alisa's wedding was far less sensational than the wedding of the century in Xiangjiang, it was undoubtedly a very romantic event to be held on the Alisa, the world's number one luxury cruise ship.
