[US Entertainment] Superstar

There are only two kinds of people in Hollywood: CAA's and everyone else.

This sentence is not an exaggeration at all.

The full name of caa is Creative Elite Cultural Brokerage Company. It not only owns actors like Tom Cruise and Tom Hanks, but also top directors like Steven Spielberg and James Cameron, as well as excellent Producer, screenwriter, artist, athlete.

If any film company or TV group wants to invest in a new project, CAA can provide all candidates from script to post-production, publicity and distribution.Many actors choose to sign with CAA because it is easier to select roles and scripts from within and complete internal digestion.

The alumni directory is updated every year. It contains the contact information of the alumni of various colleges of USC, as well as their industries and positions, so that they can clearly find what they need.

Eve looked at the address book of the Academy of Film and Television Arts, and looked down one by one, and finally found a senior who worked at CAA.In addition to agents, CAA still has other positions, such as the film financing department.

Finding the right candidate is not enough, how to close the relationship between the two parties is the key point, otherwise even if you know the relevant information, you will not reveal your heart to a stranger.

The alumni relationship is not enough, there must be a closer connection, such as the same course, the same professor.

Eve picked up the phone after finishing the draft, entered the other party's phone number, and called.

"toot toot"

After about 20 seconds, the call was finally connected.

"Hello, this is Dalton Nathan."

In order to prevent the other party from hanging up the phone, Eve said bluntly, "Hi, I'm Eve Campbell, a student of Professor Mike Payser of USC, and I'm calling to inquire about CAA's signing agreement."

After hearing his alma mater and familiar professor's name, Dalton's voice suddenly softened: "Wow, I didn't expect it to be a call from an alumnus. Is Professor Mike okay?"

"He's in great shape, and he just took us together for a short film last month, and it's amazing."

Eve is actually not Professor Mike Payser's favorite student, but just took a course, but it is very helpful to use it here to build a closer relationship.

Even if you major in directing, you may not be able to engage in this profession after graduation.

Dalton said excitedly: "I heard about this short film when I went back to school to visit him last year. Can I see it now?"

"It's been made into a disc. If it's convenient for you, I can bring it to you when I come to CAA to sign a contract tomorrow." Eve brought the topic to her side without any trace.

She came to inquire about Robert and CAA.

Sure enough, Dalton asked: "Are you going to sign a contract with CAA? What kind of contract is it?"

"I want to be a movie actor. Someone just helped introduce CAA's agent Robert Owen, and I'm about to sign an agent contract tomorrow."

"A wise choice. Now CAA basically has no rivals in Hollywood. Although I don't know why you choose to be an actor, there is no company that suits you better than CAA. Robert, I don't have a deep impression of this person , he may be the most common among the agents."

Think about it too, Evan Stoff will not find a shrewd and powerful agent to take him.If Robert really had strengths in CAA, he would have already climbed up.It is estimated that the performance is neither high nor low, and has no characteristics.

"That interrupts your work. I will send the DVD to your office tomorrow when I come to sign the contract."

"Thank you very much, I can't wait to see Professor Mike's new works! By the way, I would like to remind you that it is very easy to change agents in CAA. You sign a contract with an agent company, not an agent. If you feel that Robert's ability to work is limited, you can It can be changed at will within the company, provided that another agent is willing to take over."

It's not strange for a star to change five agents in CAA a year, as long as he doesn't switch to another agency, he can change at will.

Eve got the hint, and she was in a very good mood, "Thank you sir, this helped me a lot."

"I'm talking common sense, young girl, it's not an easy road for you to get into Hollywood."

"No job is easy."

"See you tomorrow, I wish you a happy signing."

After hanging up the phone, Eve excitedly stood up from the window, and then began to rummage through her pile of debris.

Jessica has been listening silently, and after seeing this movement, she asked curiously: "Honey, what did the senior say?"

"Robert should be the kind of blue-collar agent. If you are not satisfied after signing the contract, you can change it. I have to quickly find Professor Mike's DVD. I don't know where it is!"

Every student who participated in the filming of the short film has a DVD, on the one hand, for commemoration, and on the other hand, so that students can use it as a stepping stone when they are looking for a job.

Now Eve is not planning to be a director, so naturally she can't use it.

If it can be used as a favor, it is very cost-effective to meet a CAA alumnus, especially in front of the agent.

"Why don't you look under your bed? I remember that you threw many books in there." Jessica couldn't help reminding her friend as she looked at her friend who was rummaging everywhere.

Eve tied her hair up with a hand rope, bent down and dragged out two tightly covered cardboard boxes from under the bed, which contained various professional film books and shooting things.

She didn't absorb all of the original owner's memories, because there was too much information in it, and many memories were just put aside and ignored.

"Thank God, I finally found it!" Eve found the disc from the disc book, kissed the cover and quickly installed it.

"Let's go to the bar tonight to celebrate your successful signing?" Jessica suggested. She finally turned 21 and can drink alcohol legally. She is very curious about various bars.

However, Eve pointed to her hair and said: "Sorry, I have to go to the hair salon to get this hair done, it looks so stupid!"

"Don't talk nonsense, she's obviously very beautiful, and this hairstyle is the most popular now!" Jessica didn't agree at all.

Eve has traveled from the 21st century, and she is desperate for the current aesthetics.

The original owner's hair had only been permed for two months, and he had to straighten it again, wasting money for nothing.

……

One after another, people in suits and leather shoes came in and out of the CAA office building. Eve looked at the fact that such a large-scale company could be established on the opposite side of Beverly Hills, where every inch of land was expensive, and felt much less uneasy.

For actors, finding a suitable agency is like getting married.

"Hello, may I help you?" The young girl in a white shirt and a suit skirt at the front desk showed a polite smile.

Eve handed over the business card in her hand, "I have an appointment with Mr. Robert Owen."

"Wait a minute, let me ask."

The girl pressed a number on the phone, connected to the upstairs office, and raised her head after whispering a few words: "Mr. Owen has arrived at the elevator entrance on the third floor, you can just go up."

"Thank you." Eve whispered, "By the way, the color of your lipstick today is so beautiful, can I ask what brand it is?"

"Armani's latest model, is it really good-looking?"

"Of course!"

After praising Eve, she took the elevator to the third floor.

"Ding", the elevator door rang and opened.

Robert Owen stood at the door and looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar figure in the elevator, a little stunned!

He was a little apprehensive when he received a call from the girl last night. The two actors he was in charge of before were both actors. One disliked Hollywood and went home to inherit the farm, and the other switched to other agents.

I thought I would run into a relationship household with poor conditions, but it turned out to be a drifting girl who graduated from USC.

I don't know about acting skills for the time being, but appearance and figure alone are enough to stay in Hollywood.

There was a flash of surprise in Robert's eyes. He really didn't expect that the change of hairstyle would make such a big difference. The plasticity is too strong!

The girl in front of her lost her seaweed-like hair, and her whole demeanor became fierce, cold and glamorous.

The facial features are so exquisite that there is no blemish, and the makeup is just right, full of feminine beauty.

"Hi, Mr. Owen, we meet again."

"You look like a real star today, and the cameraman will be delighted later. Also, just call me Robert, Mr. Irving is too far-fetched."

Eve got up and dressed at 07:30 today, just to make a good impression. She only hoped that her agent could quickly help her find a job, otherwise her wallet would be dry, and she spent tens of dollars on a perm last night. .

After following Robert to the small office, Eve saw the contract and related forms in front of her, which included various information.

The most basic name, age, learning experience, as well as emotional experience, parents' occupation, etc., are very detailed.

"Before signing the contract, I would like to make a serious question. Since you are a student of Southern California, you should have never been in prison or violated the law. If you have any questions, please tell me in advance so that we can better deal with it. Save When you become famous and are found out by reporters, that will be a fatal problem."

Eve thought about it in her mind, and said decisively: "No, I never do illegal or criminal things."

As for the flash marriage and divorce with Keanu Reeves because of the non-disclosure agreement, she is not going to speak out, so as not to be troubled by Evan Stoff.

You must know that this information is stored in CAA's database, which is not particularly safe. If someone with ulterior motives finds it out, it may affect both parties.

The less a person knows about a secret, the less danger of being exposed.

After Eve signed her name, she saw her manager's expression of joy.

"I'll take you to the photographer to take pictures later, and I have good news to tell you that your first job has been arranged by me."

"What job?" Eve asked curiously. She really didn't expect Robert to be so efficient.

"Shooting the MV!"

You don't need much acting skills, you only need a supporting role in the MV plot, it's easy and rich, it's simply the dream job of a newcomer actor.

But Robert could clearly see the disappointment on Eve's face, "What's the matter, you don't like appearing in the MV?"

"I want to act in movies more, but it's good to be able to act in MVs now, at least I have a job."

"That's the right idea. They are the dream lovers of girls all over the United States and even the world. You will be jealous to death."

Robert said mysteriously, and did not reveal which singer it was.
