Chapter 1210 1210 The third strong aid
Hugo never thought of taking credit, not because the source of his clues was irresponsible, but because he never helped Michael with utilitarian ideas. Anyone with a righteous heart would not be able to see that this unjust case was brought into the coffin with the parties involved, not to mention that the party involved was Michael Jackson, the unique Michael Jackson.
So, after the truth was revealed, Hugo never received any interview. Even if Nicholas of the Los Angeles Times called, Hugo refused the interview, stopping all clues from doubt, and then completely dissipating in the process of dissemination.
However, Hugo did not expect that Michael would know the truth.
"Me? Why don't I know?" Hugo could only pretend to be stupid, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with confusion, "Does I have one of the credits? This is a great honor. So should I be glad that my foresight was so accurate?" After that, Hugo laughed.
Michael could not find any flaws in Hugo's expression, and he forgot what an outstanding actor Hugo was.
But for Michael, what he needed was not an answer, just as Daws Carter never asked Hugo how he learned Chandler and Ammito, both of them were smart people; what mattered was that he knew Hugo was behind the scenes, which was enough.
Perhaps, the truth hidden behind it will never be released to the public, but for real insiders, behind the case of Michael Jackson and Childhood, people feel Hugo's strength. This is also the once again that people in the circle truly feel Hugo's huge appeal as a superstar.
At this moment, there was a knock at the door. It was obvious that the waiter came to serve the food. Michael chuckled and took this opportunity to change the topic. He did not continue to delve into it. "Please come in!"
The door of the room was opened, and two waiters walked in with their heads down, and walked over with a tray without looking squinting. One person was responsible for serving the dishes and the other person was responsible for serving the dishes. "Mr. Jackson, this is the cold tomato soup you ordered; Mr. Lancaster, this is your Nice salad." He stood at the dining table and placed the appetizer in front of the two, "Please enjoy it slowly." Then he retreated without looking squinting.
From beginning to end, neither waiters had looked at Hugo and Michael directly, but they were polite and did not feel offended at all. Such well-trained is really admirable. In Hollywood, smart people are always everywhere.
Michael and Hugo both picked up the knife and fork and started to enjoy their own appetizers. Michael then said, "I actually came back to Los Angeles some time in advance, and there were other things that I had to come to the United States to deal with." Michael glanced at Hugo, without pausing, and said directly, "I plan to change the agency."
Hugo was not surprised. He remembered this time point in history. Behind Sony Columbia Records' many slouches, there may not be no reason why the agency is not strong enough. Michael is currently affiliated with the innovative artist agency. This Hollywood agent giant includes almost all the top superstars, such as Steven Spielberg, Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Oprah Winfrey, Michael Jordan and others. Their current agency contracts are all under the innovative artist agency.
"William Morris?" Hugo enjoyed the salad in front of him, looked at Michael and then said, he didn't know why Michael suddenly mentioned this, thinking it was just a chat between friends.
Michael was a little surprised at Hugo's reaction, "Why do you think it's William Morris?"
"The internal sorting of the International Innovation Management Company is still not completed now," Marvin Josephson is a good businessman, but not a good agent. This proved at the beginning of the company's establishment. It is still the case when it comes again. It lacks Rick Rosen, Ali Emmanuel and other senior agents. Not only does it lack management talents, but it also loses the resources behind the connections of senior agents. Don't forget. When Rick left, thanks to Hugo's reminder, he successfully brought out all his information. "And I don't like the atmosphere there either; then in this way, William Morris is naturally the first choice. Although they still have some struggles within the company, I heard that they successfully dug out the corners of the innovative artist agency not long ago, so it seems that their strength should be good."
1994 and 1995 were a turbulent period for brokerage companies. Needless to say, the change in the international innovation management company almost caused them to lose nearly one-third of their resources; the innovative artist brokerage company suffered a heavy blow. Their founder Michael Orwitz left the company and switched to Disney. After the company fell into chaos, important customers were poached one after another, and the partner Jay Maroney, who was rushing to manage, began to take drugs because he could not bear the huge pressure. In March, the incident was fired and then committed suicide.
Even William Morris brokerage was turbulent within the agency. Although it was not as fierce as the other two competitors, it also distracted a lot of energy. However, they took advantage of the situation and robbed several heavyweight stars such as Whoopi Goldberg, Sylvester Stallone from the agency.
This is also an important reason why Fenjin Elite Brokerage Company has been able to rise rapidly in the past year. It is not only the prosperity of actors such as Hugo and Tom Hanks, but also because their competitors are too busy to take care of themselves and have no time to concentrate on suppressing them. It can be seen during the "Mission Impossible" project and the "Seven Deadly Sins" project that Fenjin Elite Brokerage Company is still making big profits, but it still shows the layout ability of Fenjin Elite Brokerage Company.
When competitors recovered, Fighting Elite Brokerage Company had already gained a gamble. So, a year has indeed turned upside down.
If Michael wants to change his brokerage company, relatively speaking, the still stable old-fashioned king William Morris' brokerage company is definitely the right choice.
After Hugo finished speaking, he saw Michael's expression quite interesting, which made Hugo stop the action of putting the tomato in his mouth, frowned and thought, "You won't tell me that you want to go to the United Elite Agency, right?"
As mentioned earlier, United Elite Brokerage Company was formed by the merger of two medium-sized brokerage companies with strong and deep roots in 1991. After just four years of development, it has become the leader among the second-tier brokerage companies, just looking up to the three major brokerage companies.
United Elite Agency has outstanding strength in music, TV series and film fields. Currently, stars such as Harrison Ford, Sting, Laura Dern (laura.dern) are all under their own business. They also have "Seinfeld" a classic comedy that has always ranked among the top five in the United States.
United Elite Brokerage Company can be said to be the biggest competitor of Fenjin Elite Brokerage Company. Since the three major brokerage companies are all giants, the market for other small and medium-sized brokerage companies that survive in the cracks is very limited. Don’t look at United Elite Brokerage Company as if its big brands are not as many as Fenjin Elite Brokerage Company, but their background and lineup are far better than Fenjin Elite Brokerage Company.
Every brokerage company wants to catch up with the three major brokerage companies, but the premise is to be able to make a breakthrough in the small and medium brokerage company market. At present, relying on the strong star effect, Fenjin Elite Brokerage Company quickly approaches the United Elite Brokerage Company in just one year.
Objectively speaking, the United Elite Brokerage Company is indeed strong, otherwise it would not have become one of the top brokers in just a few years, but for Michael at present, the temple is still a little smaller. Of course, small temples also have the benefits of small temples. At least resources will be tilted towards Michael, just like the current entrepreneurship elite brokerage company, almost two-thirds of the resources are serving top artists such as Hugo, Tom, Clint, and Al.
Michael smiled and asked back, "Why can't it?"
Hugo also laughed, "If you want, there is no way." In fact, for artists of Michael's level, agents are not the decisive link at all, because their own appeal is enough. However, Michael has just come to the truth and is preparing to release a new album. The operation of the agent and the cooperation of the record company are still very important.
Michael put down the spoon in his hand, "I'm curious, why haven't you mentioned the Endeavor Elite Brokerage Company?"
Hugo looked at Michael in confusion, but then he reacted. He couldn't help but be stunned, and then shook his head with a smile. To be honest, Hugo really didn't consider the Enjin Elite Brokerage Company just now. Michael was different from Joanna Rowling and Leonardo DiCaprio. They were one of the unknown people and the other was a potential star. Joining Enjin Elite Brokerage Company focused on the future; while Michael was a top superstar, Hugo had never thought of pulling this great god into their small temple.
"Maybe this means that I'm not suitable to be a businessman." Hugo said self-deprecatingly, then looked at Michael's expression carefully and thought about it, "Michael, do you... want to come to our company?"
Michael stopped answering, smiled and lowered his head to enjoy his tomato cold soup, hanging Hugo in the air, not going up or down, feeling really uncomfortable. Hugo's gaze scanned back and forth between his salad and Michael's bowl of red cold soup, but he didn't know what to say: Do you advise Michael to come to the elite brokerage company? Or should you selflessly suggest Michael to go to William Morris brokerage company?
"Hugo, you know, true friends can tell the truth." Michael said without looking up, "You're not going to introduce me to your company?"
"Uh... the Enjin Elite Brokerage Company is a potential stock brokerage company with extremely beautiful prospects?" Hugo was not prepared at all. He frowned and said hesitantly that just as Hugo was thinking about how to introduce his company in detail, Michael raised his head.
Michael lightly tapped his chin, as if he was thinking seriously, and then he said in a long voice, "Your company sounds really good, which makes me yearn for it."
All this is OK?
