Chapter 1376 1376 Condescending
Beverly Hills, where every inch of land is valuable, is not the place where the rich gather the most in Hollywood. Real rich people are actually more willing to live in a comfortable town around Los Angeles and then drive to work in the city. Compared to the city, small towns where all the neighbors are rich are the best living environment. This is the case in Malibu, Orange County and other places.
But Beverly Hills has a crucial symbolic significance for Hollywood, not only because of the countless mansions on this hill, the manor gathers Hollywood's top stars, but also because it is the place where all eyes focus. With Beverly Hill as the center, Hollywood Avenue, Avenue of Stars, Universal Studios, Burbank Media Center, and the American Actors' Union, the most core institutions in the film industry are clustered around.
Someone once joked that throwing a brick near Beverly Hills can hit three actors, and passing by five pedestrians can meet a scout or agent. Although this is a bit exaggerated, it truly reflects the prosperity and prosperity of this area. This is also the reason why two of the three major Hollywood agencies have set their headquarters nearby.
William Morris Agency and Innovation Artist Agency are both located in Beverly Hills, and they are surrounded by many film, television and music companies. The up-and-coming elite agency also chose the address here without surprise.
Located ten minutes' walk from the east of Beverly Hills, there are many top companies gathered on Westwood.blvd, including the Los Angeles branch of EDA Records, and the famous innovative artist agency is just two streets away.
Offices on Westwood Avenue are very popular every year. Even if the rent is getting higher and higher year by year, countless companies still want to move to this area. Everyone understands one thing: even if you just wander around Beverly Hills, you may be hit by a pie, let alone an entertainment company. An excellent geographical location and excellent storefront can often add a lot of impression points.
In June this year, a three-story office building in the prime location of Ximu Avenue was empty and rented out again in less than 24 hours. Many companies that wanted to enter this circle didn't even have time to react, but could only watch the opportunity slip away from their hands again.
This company, which has entered the "upper circle", has also attracted the attention of many insiders. When they found out that the new leaser is a thriving elite brokerage company, they all showed a "super-worthy" expression. Although it was established only one year and two months ago, the rise of the thriving elite brokerage company is a legend. This is where all miracles can happen in Hollywood.
In June, Fenjin Elite Brokerage Company attracted countless attention because of Michael Jackson's joining. Before that, the company's office building was only set up in a dilapidated building on Santa Monica Avenue, which was not consistent with the identity of this rising star. Now, the Fenjin Elite Brokerage Company, which moved to Westwood Avenue, has truly entered the sight of senior executives in the circle.
In the past year, the Eternal Elite Agency has emerged on a high-end route. Tom Hanks, Clint Eastwood, Al Pacino, Hugo Lancaster, Michael Jackson and other artists have made their development route smoothly. A number of high-profile stars led by Leonardo DiCaprio have also joined in, and later attracted the signing of first-line actors like Adam Sandler and Robert De Niro, which immediately made their future development prospects clear.
What is even more commendable is that at the beginning of its establishment, the number of professional brokers has exceeded 40, and the number of employees in the entire company has rapidly soared to 130. The overall development scale has truly become a medium-sized brokerage company, which is equally matched with the current arrow figures of second-tier brokerage companies.
The cold wind in December blew. Even in the warm Los Angeles, people couldn't help but pull the collar of their coats to block the raging sea breeze. However, the bustling on Westwood Avenue is still unabated. Not only are there many entertainment-related companies nearby, but it is also an important commercial center in Los Angeles. The residential areas within the five streets are also spread all over the place, and there are crowds of people almost every day.
A black car parked on the side of the road, and then a man in a dark gray light brown suit opened the car door and walked down. He stood by the side of the road and buttoned the second button of his suit. The close-fitting tailoring and the camel-colored wool scarf on his neck revealed his professionalism and aura. It can be seen that he should be a man who usually ranks high.
Then, two more people walked down in the car. The man in front had white hair, a champagne suit paired with a white shirt, and a smoky gray windbreaker jacket in his hand. His slightly thin figure was tight at this time. The man behind looked ordinary, but the black suit on his body could be seen as a finished suit from a luxury brand, and the line cut could feel the exquisiteness.
The three of them stood beside him for a while, and another person in the car then slowly walked out. His majestic height was like a tall green pine, and his wide and tough shoulders revealed a coldness in the shadow of the building; his strong and plump figure fully supported a gray-blue suit, paired with a navy blue shirt and a dark blue tie, and his clothes were simple but also revealed a graceful calmness.
The man who came out looked around and looked at the building in front of him. The entire glass wall reflected the bright sunshine at this time, making the shadow of the building that was raging with wind made it even colder. He couldn't help but chuckled, and the sunlight between his entire eyebrows leaked out, "This building looks so short."
The first man who walked out curled his lips and smiled, "Allen, this is Los Angeles, not New York or Chicago. The steel and concrete forest does not have the smell of us." He looked at the other two people, "Are you all ready? Then let's go and win today's contract!"
The person who came was Kevin Pence, the new helmsman of 20th Century Fox, and the two people who came out were Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin. They were not only screenwriters of "Independence Day", but also producers, so they made a special appearance today for negotiations.
The last man was Allen Strello. If Hugo saw him appear here, he would definitely be extremely surprised. He was the friend Hugo had appeared with Kevin when he visited the set of the crew of "Love Is Only". But why did this friend appear at the cooperation negotiation site on "Independence Day"?
Hugo must have inferred that the chance encounter of "love is the only" is not a real coincidence.
The four people walked into the building. The building only has six floors in total. The first floor is a public hall, the second and third floors are divided and leased by five companies. The fourth and sixth floors are the brand new base camp of the Fenjin Elite Brokerage Company.
The rental fee for the three-story building on Ximu Avenue is not high or low, and it is suitable for the development of Fenjin Elite Brokerage Company to a certain scale, but it is not a unit of a truly large company. However, in Rick's expectation, after the company further expands, it is best to rent the second and third floors, and the entire building becomes exclusive to Fenjin Elite Brokerage Company.
In this way, although the office space is not as good as the international innovation management company located on Constellation Avenue, it can also be comparable to William Morris, the innovative artist agency.
After entering the building, registering at the first-floor management desk, and receiving the visitor's card, he was able to enter the elevator. For Kevin, he personally visited the Fenjin Elite Brokerage Company, which was already a great face for them, because generally speaking, such cooperation could attract the attention of the executive president of the company either met at a film production company or a high-end restaurant. For large film production companies, no matter how powerful the agency is, it is always just an agency.
However, Kevin is willing to come in person today, and he has his own considerations. He needs to go to the Evergent Elite Brokerage Company for investigation. Many details are concluded from the office and the company atmosphere. These details often determine where the future development of the Evergent Elite Brokerage Company is, whether it can become a breakthrough in breaking the checks and balances of the three major brokerage companies in Hollywood, and what level of cooperation value will be for large film companies. This is also one of the important reasons why Kevin is willing to come and visit.
After entering the elevator, Allen sorted out his suit a little, lowered his voice and asked, "Today we are just meeting the agent, or will Hugo come here too?" This sentence made Kevin look at him.
Dean, who was standing aside, replied, "Hugo must appear, right? We are all given the highest standard treatment. If Hugo doesn't come out, it's unreasonable. And..." Dean looked at the other three people, "Didn't Hugo always have a good reputation in the circle? He is humble and treats people gently, so he will definitely not neglect us in terms of etiquette."
Kevin took his gaze back, but took a light breath, and said with a smile, "Many things cannot be looked at the surface." In fact, Kevin also thought Hugo would appear, and Dean's words were not wrong. However, Kevin felt a hint of uneasiness deep in his heart, and he could not tell the reason himself, it was just a kind of intuition.
Recently, things have been developing completely according to Kevin's expected track, including the script being knocked back, the script being re-written, and the meetings being arranged again. These are all aspects of the plan. Moreover, Kevin also received good news. Alfonso, who was glorious until his death, was interested in Tom Hanks' project. Hugo personally called Tom, and the confirmation news was also reported here by agent Carl Earl.
