Chapter 22 Brokerage

Although many celebrities sent ambiguous invitations to Meghan at the party last night, Meghan still returned to the small apartment he rented.

It seemed like a dream. After twelve o'clock, the carriage turned into a pumpkin, the horse turned into a mouse, and he became the Cinderella who lived in the corner of the city. Only the black dress in the closet told her the truth of this matter.

Get up, wash, and keep preparing for work. No matter what, life still has to continue. The busyness of the morning made her almost forget the party she had last night.

"Megan, that man over there has been watching you."

Megan looked in the direction of White Brown's finger. A middle-aged white man in his thirties, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, was meticulously combed, wearing a dark formal outfit, and a black briefcase next to him. Seeing Megan look over and smile at her.

"Hello, do you need any help?" Megan handed over the work in his hand to White Brown and walked up to the man. He didn't order any food or look at the menu. He probably didn't come to eat.

"Hello, Miss Hart." The man signaled Megan to sit down and said, "I am Jim Robin of William Morris's agency. This is my business card and my broker qualification certificate." After Jim Robin said that, he handed over his business card and certificate. His name, position, contact information on the front, and a golden "a" lg on the back, which is the logo of William Morris' agency.

"Hello, Mr. Robin." Megan Hart said with some confusion: "I am just a girl who has just entered Hollywood. Although I like acting and learn to act, I have never participated in any film and television dramas. I probably can't get Company A to like it yet."

"To be honest with Miss Hart, I also attended the party at the Roosevelt Hotel last night. Miss Hart's beauty stunned the audience, but you didn't notice me at that time."

Megan said embarrassedly: "Sorry, Mr. Robin, there were too many people in the party last night, and the first time I attended such a party, it had a big impact on me."

Jim Robin smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. I've been following you last night. I found that you have the potential to be a high-quality actor. Although you haven't participated in any films yet, this is your advantage. Some directors just want to select some new actors to star in the film, so that they can bring freshness to the audience."

"Thank you, Mr. Robin." Megan expressed his gratitude to Jim Robin for his encouragement, but he still calmly said to him: "You have also seen my current situation. Although Mr. Shen invited me to the party yesterday, that is the origin of the elders. I am just a young actor with no experience. I am afraid I cannot afford the resource support cost of Company A."

William Morris Agency, as one of the three major Hollywood brokerage companies, has a certain popularity and strength among artists. The agent relies on the artist’s income as commission, so Hollywood agents are also called “Mr. Ten percent”. However, not everyone can sign a contract, especially for newcomers like Meghan, each resource requires the exchange of interests. In the early stage, unless the agent is very optimistic about you and helps you pay a certain fee, these fees will be paid by the artist themselves.

Jim Robin said: "Miss Hart, you don't have to worry about this. I am different from other agents in William Morris's agency. I can serve you for free in advance. If you have audition work, I can help you with free services. If you have a happy cooperation, we are signing a contract. As long as you become my artist, in addition to the resources I will help you solve it, I can also reduce the commission by two points, only charge you % of the commission, and it is long-term."

"Ah, such a discount?" White Brown, who had listened for a while, couldn't help but exclaim: "Mr. Robin, I am also an actor. Can I join you?"

"Sorry, our company is only optimistic about Miss Hart." Jim Robin declined White Brown's request.

Jim Robin's words were actually not true. Although he held the business card of William Morris' agency, he had been resigning for more than two months. He was disappointed because he brought many newcomers in succession, but he was disheartened. He was at the party last night, but he was not an invited guest, but a paparazzi reporter who was involved in the scene. He saw Megan, who introduced the directors and stars, and also heard their audition invitation to Megan.

His preliminary judgment of Meghan was a rich girl who wanted to play in the entertainment industry. After Meghan danced with Leonardo DiCaprio, he was going to take photos of the two of them checking in with him and then sell them to World News for a large amount of royalties. However, after the party, he found that Meghan had left alone, and after he quietly followed him, he found that the girl was really just an ordinary girl living in an ordinary apartment.

After returning to her residence and thinking for a night, Jim Robin thought that his opportunity had come. Although he had resigned from William Morris' agency, his agent certificate was still valid. Moreover, if he really became Meghan's agent and helped her get invitations to several films, he could return to William Morris' agency with the artist he had. Moreover, Meghan also has the ability to make friends with this world-class rich man, which will definitely be of incomparable help to her development.

Megan thought for a moment and said to Jim Robin: "Mr. Robin, since you said that, we can cooperate first. I have an audition this afternoon. You can appear as my temporary agent and let me see your work ability. If everything is satisfactory, we will continue to the next negotiation."

At the party yesterday, Meghan received two audition invitations, among which Zach Schneider's audition was this afternoon. May was preparing to call the actor to send a temporary agent to help negotiate the contract. Now that Jim Robin's appearance has saved her this step.

The role Zach Schneider is preparing to audition for Meghan is Mera in "Justice League", because Meghan Hart, who was full of glamor last night, was very consistent with the role of "Justice League". But after he said it last night, he regretted it. Although Mera's role has appeared in "Justice League" for a short time and can only be regarded as an extremely marginal character, according to the plan set by Warner Brothers for the D-Cosmic, "Aquaman" will specifically produce a separate film, and in the movie "Aquaman", Mera is the iron-clad heroine.

Since I have said it out and there were so many big-name directors present last night, Zach Schneider was not able to repent, so he gave Megan Hart a chance to audition. At worst, let her wait for the notification.

While Megan followed the makeup artist to change clothes and make a look, Jim Robin found Zach Schneider.

"Hello Mr. Schneider, I am Jim Robin of William Morris's agency, Miss Hart's agent." Jim Robin sent his business card again.

"William Morris Agency? Megan Hart is your company's artist?" Zach asked at the well-dressed man in front of him, looking at the business card in his hand.

"Yes, Mr. Chen Fang is very concerned about Miss Hart's acting career and asks our company to take care of her artist agency." Jim Robin removed Chen Fang's banner without hesitation. He also saw Chen Fang's care for Meghan yesterday.

"Oh, I get it." Zach Schneider came to the office next to him with some worries and found his old partner, Charles Rowan.

"Charles, what should you do? We can find a way to get rid of the pretentious face, but now there is another William Morris agency. If you offend them, it will probably have some impact on us."

Charles Rowan said to Zach Schneider: "I just received an invitation from a Chinese film company and was preparing to produce the Great Wall, which they co-produced with Legendary Pictures. As far as I know, Mr. Chen Fang is not just a rich man. He also has the largest film and television company in China and the largest theater chain. So my suggestion is to give them face to this role, but only sign a film contract for one film. If the response is good, we will sign her again in the film "Aquaman". If the response is not good, at most, it is okay to leave only a part of the shots when editing. We will change the actors when filming "Aquaman".

"Okay, just do what you said." Zach Schneider nodded.

After Megan Hart changed into Mera's outfit, Zach Schneider, who had adjusted his mind, found that he felt right yesterday. Megan, wearing a green tights, completely showed off Mera's perfect figure.

Finally, with the unanimous vote of directors Zach Schneider and Charles Rowan, Megan Hart won this crucial role, although only a marginal role.

In the subsequent contract negotiations, Jim Robin showed his qualities as a qualified agent. Without hesitation, he raised the banner of Chen Fang and William Morris and helped Meghan get a $200,000 salary.

After leaving the set of Warner Bros., Meghan expressed gratitude to Jim Robin, recognized his professionalism, and agreed to sign his personal brokerage contract to Jim Robin and hire him as his agent.

In this way, Meghan Hart won the first role in her life and took the most important step. Jim Robin also returned to William Morris' agency with a contract with Meghan Hart. He also helped Meghan win one of the roles in another comedy movie "Neighbors War 2: The Rise of Sisters", and Meghan Hart's acting career officially began.
