Looking at the tired but energetic Bill Rosses next to him, the jealousy in Mike's heart grew like a plague, but he hid it well, and he still had that congratulatory expression on his face.

Back then, he and Bill Rosses went to the set of "Hard Candy" in the San Fernando Valley to investigate director Murphy Stanton. Although the other party had some potential, he only thought that he was an ordinary Guys, like all people who come to Hollywood to dream, they disappear after one movie.

When he first heard that Bill Rosses had signed the young director, he sat in his office and sprayed the coffee he drank into his mouth onto the newspaper in front of him, laughing at Bill Rosses for being too wishful thinking.

But now? Bill Rosses actually has a director client with a North American box office of more than 60 million US dollars!

These, not only him, but all the managers who walked out of the mail room together, were all drooling with envy!

Because, the director client named Murphy Stanton will directly change the fate of Bill Rossis' agent!

Do not! It should have changed!

The company is about to move to the "Death Star" building not far away, and has bought the top eight floors. According to very reliable sources, management has made a decision that Bill Rossis will be the second from the top. The first floor has a separate office!

In other words, he has jumped from many low-level brokers to the company's second-tier broker!

It may be possible to become a partner in the future.

How could Mike not be jealous of the rumors circulating? He used to be so close to Murphy Stanton, so close that he could even send an invitation to sign him; now he is so far away, so far that he has nothing to do with him .

If Murphy Stanton was signed at that time, it would be Mike who would enjoy all of this, not Bill Rossis next to him!

Why didn't he sign Murphy Stanton? Although he knew it was too late, Mike felt regretful in his heart.

Director Murphy Stanton changed the fate of Bill Rossis, but where is the client who can bring change for himself?

On the other side, Grace chatted affectionately with Bill Rosses, the smile on his face was more cordial than that of the CEOs of the six major Hollywood companies.

She also knows the changes that director Murphy Stanton has brought to Bill Rossis,

I also know that such a client can almost determine the fate of a broker, and I really want such a client.

However, CAA has strict regulations. In order to prevent the tragedy of the decline of William Morris, internal vicious competition has been strictly prohibited since Michael Ovitz was first established.

However, Grace also saw the opportunity. Murphy Stanton's "Chain Saw" broke through 60 million US dollars at the North American box office alone, and the global box office is very likely to exceed 100 million US dollars. Turn a blind eye to many customers, and it is impossible to hand it over to Bill Rossis for management alone.

Like other well-known clients, it was inevitable for caa to set up cross-management services for Murphy-Stanton!

In this way, there may be four to six condominium brokers providing brokerage services for Murphy Stanton, and this is a rigid regulation of CAA, which is by no means something Bill Rossis can resist.

Of course, Bill Ross's opinion is very important when CAA chooses a cross-management agent, which is why she pleases the other party.

Grace's purpose is very simple, to become Murphy Stanton's condominium agent, to take a bite and share the deliciousness on this already tempting cake.

Mike and Grace had their own ideas. Even though Brian Lauder, the partner in charge of the film and television business, entered the meeting room to announce the start of the meeting, the two were still thinking about their own affairs.

For a business company, time is money. Unless necessary, no one will waste too much time on meetings. Brian Lauder can take over the position of Jay Maloney, who committed suicide by drug, so he naturally understands this. The truth is, the whole meeting was simple and direct, and it ended at 8:30.

"Bill, you stay here."

At the end of the meeting, Brian Lauder, who was sitting at the front, stopped Bill Rossis.

Those who were going out, especially those whose status and qualifications were similar to Bill Rosses, looked back with either envy or jealousy.

They all knew that a very good new director suddenly appeared under Bill Rosses, and even the management of the company inevitably paid attention.

Bill Rossis walked to the middle conference table and sat on Brian Lauder's left. The tall, strong, bald man nodded to him.

The meeting room was soon empty of other people, and even the door was closed from the outside. Brian Lauder shook his bald head and said, "On Murphy Stanton's business..."

He looked at Bill Rossis. "You're doing well."

Bill Rossis said, "Murphy's own ability is outstanding, and his potential is more than that."

Brian Lauder did not answer his words, but said, "After the company moves to the Death Star Building, you will have an independent office, and most of the company's existing resources and relationships can be used appropriately."

Although there is no such thing as a promotion as an agent, Bill Rosses understands that his status will be greatly improved, and the bet on Murphy has already paid off.

Putting his hands on the table, Brian Lauder rubbed his left hand with his right hand, "Is there still an internship contract between the company and Murphy?"

"Yes." Bill Rossis said hastily, "I have communicated with Murphy, he is now on vacation in Australia, and he will negotiate a new brokerage contract with us when he comes back."

Brian Lauder warned, "This matter must be done quickly."

"I will." Bill Rossis nodded.

"Don't relax, any client may leave his agent." Brian Lauder suddenly changed the subject, "I got news that someone from William Morris is also very interested in Murphy."

This is not surprising to Bill Rosses. A newcomer director who earned $60 million in North America for his second film will definitely arouse the coveted attention of brokerage companies.

"Don't worry, the company will fully support you, and you can speak up if you encounter difficulties."

After speaking the words of encouragement, Brian Lauder suddenly changed the subject, "This matter will encounter competition from other companies, and there should be a few more people to help you."

Bill Rosses understood the meaning of this sentence, and his heart was sinking gradually, but he knew that this was inevitable.

Brian Lauder didn't go around in circles anymore, "The company plans to equip Murphy Stanton with four agents, and of course you will be the main agent, and your opinion will also be taken into consideration when selecting candidates."

Suppressing the restlessness in his heart, Bill Rossis said as calmly as possible, "I will communicate with Murphy."

This takes away not only the authority, but also the monetary benefits. Even if CAA's policy is special, the commission that four brokers get is not as good as that of one broker.

I sighed softly in my heart, what could he say? The company has always done this, and it is not aimed at a certain person, and Murphy's performance this time is really outstanding, even a company like CAA cannot ignore it.

But he thought on the other hand, "Murphy might be in trouble."

"Huh?" Brian Lauder looked at him suspiciously.

Bill Rosses thought for a moment and said, "Murphy was not very sensible when he was young. He once made trouble at Summer Redstone's house."

There are these in caa's database about Murphy, and Brian Lauder also read it, smiled indifferently, and said, "Didn't he be imprisoned for a year for this? He has already paid the price, Hollywood is so big, Paramount is not the only company, with Murphy Stanton's current reputation and status, do you think it can attract Summer Redstone's attention?"

Bill Rosses didn't say anything more, at most they would not cooperate with Paramount, as long as Murphy can maintain the profit level of "Chain Saw", there will be many companies that want to cooperate with such a director.

"I remember he wrote and directed his first two films?" Brian Lauder continued, "Any new plans?"

"He's preparing." Bill Rosses thought for a while and said, "It seems that he started writing a new script some time ago."

"Sequel to Saw?"

Bill Ross shook his head, "I don't know very well either."

"When the script is finished," Brian Lauder stood up, "remember to ask him to bring it to the company, and I will organize people to look at it and make a project estimate."

Bill Rosses also stood up, "I will notify Murphy as soon as possible."

Obviously, even CAA would be tempted by the terrifying return on investment ratio of "Chain Saw".

Brian Lauder left the conference room, but Bill Rosses stayed behind. He took out his cell phone, found Murphy's number, and dialed it.

The Great Barrier Reef, the Great Ocean Road in Victoria, the Wave Rock in the desert, the Blue Mountains National Park, Ayers Rock...these places have left the footprints of Murphy and Carey Mulligan. In the relaxed atmosphere of vacation, I plan to go to New Zealand for a while.

However, Murphy received a call from Bill Rossis. Carey Mulligan's acting school course had not yet been completed. Ten days after the two left David Robbie's farm, they boarded a plane back to Los Angeles in Melbourne. .

Back in the City of Angels, Murphy pushed the luggage and a bunch of souvenirs and Australian specialties bought by Carey Mulligan. Just as he walked out of the exit gate, he was stopped by a person who appeared suddenly.

"Hi, Director Stanton."

This is a very gentle middle-aged man wearing glasses, with a bit of Jewish features on his face, he seems to be waiting for them here specially, "Hello, Miss Mulligan."

Murphy stopped and looked at him suspiciously, "Excuse me, are you?"

The man smiled, first handed over a business card, and then introduced himself, "I'm Martin Miller, from William Morris." (To be continued.)
