[US Entertainment] Popular all over the world

"Stop. Watch your words, Josie Horton." Frank put away his pretense, his eyes flashed a warning, "I told you many times, Janet Mills used to sleep on my bed, But that was just once, her daughter was not related to me in any way. The reason your mother was cranky at the time was because she was already suffering from severe postpartum depression - you should understand that no one wants that to happen."

"So, that's why you forgive them again and again? I don't believe you don't know what they did to me." Josie still said that.

That's too easy to imagine.

If there is no Josie now, the "Josie Horton" at that time will definitely sink all the way according to the bad future arranged by the Mills mother and daughter. No one will care about that original intention is to become a big star to win more people's love She will be no different from those actresses who are at the bottom of Hollywood.

And the reason why she wants to become a big star is because her short life seems to never be lacking in material things, but she is so poor in spirit that almost no one has ever truly loved her without asking for anything in return.

Frank was silent for a while, his face was still slightly gloomy, and he answered, "I have some unexplainable reasons, Josie. Besides, they have already been punished as they should, at least you don't have to worry about it."

brooding?

Those punishments that don't hurt their bones are their own fault, whether it's the scandal of mother and daughter serving together, or playing tricks but being blocked by the big bosses in the circle.

As long as they move to a strange small place, they can still live affluent and decent lives, let time dilute everything, and don't know what the real pain in the world is.

That's a real shame.

Josie smiled slightly in her heart.

She said in a mocking tone: "Well, in this case, Frank, you should be satisfied with the way we get along, because I am so tired of trying to be filial to your father while always holding on to the past." Look pregnant. Tell me, what is the purpose of you coming to me today, don't lie to me with those nonsense words to coax women, I'm not eight years old anymore. "

After straightening out the non-existent wrinkles on the clothes, Josie sat down on the farthest sofa opposite Frank with her arms folded.

This posture full of defense and resistance, coupled with her pretty face, does not actually have much deterrent effect, but for some reason, she is so stubborn that it makes people sad.

Frank shook his head helplessly, "Okay, Josie, I know you can't understand at the moment..."

"Dorota, we're done arguing!" As soon as he said this, Josie interrupted, and then showed an impatient attitude, shouting to the kitchen: "Give me two glasses of ice water, and I want to take one Come and drink it, a glass to prevent Mr. Holden from saying something inappropriate, and I can pour it on his annoying head!"

Frank paused for a moment, feeling very helpless for Josie's unreasonable trouble.

"Okay, okay, the war is over." He adjusted his expression and said seriously, "Listen to me, you need a manager, Josie."

manager?Josie raised her eyebrows slightly, and looked up at her nominal father.

Brokers and managers are occupations that look similar but are actually very different.

The former strives for jobs for artist clients, and their duty is to reach as many job deals as possible for artists, which is equivalent to a professional broker who earns commissions.

The function of the latter focuses on the design and planning of the artist's career, and the creation of the artist's advancement path.It is their job to counsel their clients about careers and provide advice and advice on career options offered to them by brokers.

According to California law and the provisions of the Screen Actors Guild, agents are strictly capped on commissions, and cannot engage in or be employed in the production and distribution of films, or have any interest in any production or distribution company.

——But in recent years, CAA's packaging system has violated the second regulation in disguise, which is also a point that has been criticized.

All of the above avoid possible conflicts of interest between brokers and artist clients, protect the maximization of profits as clients to a large extent, and limit the job functions of brokers.

Managers, however, are not limited.

In fact, the profession doesn't even require a license to work, and most child actors' parents fill this role.

They develop unsuccessful or problematic artists, so that their careers are gradually on the right track; or they work as film producers for some well-known big-name artists, replacing traditional commission income with producer remuneration.

Yes, managers can participate in film production.

For example, Keanu's manager, Evan Stoff, has long served as the producer of the film starring the former, which has helped him a lot in his career.

But Josie... doesn't really need a manager at the helm of her future.

Thinking of this, Josie asked half-jokingly: "Mr. Horton, do you want to say that you are tired of being a Wall Street financier, and now you want to manage your career for me, a little star?"

Frank looked at Josie's smiling face silently, and seemed to be slightly surprised, or some other complicated emotion.

At this time, Dorota came over with a tray in steady steps, and Frank poured a full glass for himself and Josie from the large jug of iced lemonade that Dorota put down.

He took a sip, moistened his throat, and said, "I voted 6000 million for "Titanic."

"Oh, 6000 million." Josie shook her water glass and didn't drink it right away, "You wouldn't be so naive, you think I'd think you're helping me selflessly—wouldn't you? If it wasn't for me Very suitable for the heroine of "Titanic", do you think James Cameron will really accept your investment?"

"You're right, business is business." Frank didn't feel angry, but looked at his daughter with unexpected approval, "And I have to admit that Hollywood has taught you a lot, I am very happy."

Happy?

Josie couldn't understand Frank's thoughts, she lowered her head and slowly sipped the lemonade, hiding the thoughtful thoughts in her eyes.

Frank cleared his throat, adjusted his sitting posture, and put on a businesslike look to Josie.

"I hope Tianji Films under your name will sign a cooperation agreement with Tianmu Capital, which I founded." Frank said, "Tianmu Capital will raise funds for Tianji Films within five years, and shoot at least two films featuring you as the daughter." For the main character’s movies, each movie has a budget of 5000 million to [-] million.”

"Tianji Films currently only has five employees." Qiao Qian was noncommittal, but only reminded, "Five years is too long, it cannot be an exclusive agreement."

"The production of the two films will take at least three years, and the time can be discussed in detail." Frank has already considered it. "As for employees, you can hire some of your acquaintances with high salaries, such as producers and managers. Or we can directly Looking for a headhunting company, Tianji Films currently needs at least one CEO."

Josie didn't answer immediately, but drank half a glass of water slowly, and pressed the corner of her lips with the tissue.

Frank wasn't in a hurry either, he waited quietly for her to finish all this slowly, and adjusted his sitting posture.

Josie folded her legs together, resting her chin on one hand and asked, "These are small, unimportant issues. I am more concerned about why you chose Tianji Films. You should be clear that it is just a tax avoidance company." shell company—or, by doing so, what can Tianmu Capital gain?”

Her attitude has changed too much.

Abandoning those unnecessary and useless ways of connecting feelings, the calmness and sharpness beyond her age were revealed at once, and there seemed to be nothing to hide.

This made Frank feel more satisfied.

Obviously, compared to a mediocre and cowardly descendant of blood, this man appreciates an heir who is as rational and strong as himself, even though she stubbornly inherited another part of his minor problems.

"Share the internal rate of return." Frank replied, "And, two fully controlled film projects, this is an investment in a new field to test the waters."

Josie raised her eyebrows.

Frank continued under her signal: "Before this, neither I nor my Tianmu Capital had participated in Hollywood's capital game, because this circle is very exclusive, not only has its own set of different game rules, but also the investment cycle is very long. , and the rate of return is also subject to a large degree of uncertainty.”

"However, the film market has been thriving in the past few years. The newly established Tianmu Capital needs a shot in the arm. What else can satisfy the confidence of those customers in us than a classic film that is a global hit?"

"For the general public, the Hollywood film industry, which is popular all over the world, is the most profitable. They don't care about the harsh sharing agreements between producers and theaters, and they don't care that making a movie is more difficult and expensive than imagined. They only care about the excitement. Eyeballing global box office numbers—rather than three to five times that number for a studio to barely break even at the box office."

"The back-end income is the bulk of the movie's profit." Qiao Qian nodded and added: "I basically understand what you want to do, and I agree with this matter in principle, but the premise is that Tianmu Capital can't interfere with the secrets of the sky." The normal operation of the film industry."

Frank smiled slightly, "Normal operation? What do you mean?"

"The selection of the project and the main creative personnel." Qiao Qian explained, "But you can exercise the veto power. If you are not satisfied with the team members we use, everything can be discussed carefully, and try to achieve a result acceptable to both parties."

Frank became interested and asked, "It sounds like...you already have a project you're interested in?"

"Business secrets." Josie smiled at him and continued, "And, I think I need an agent more than a manager at this stage."

Her next schedule has already been arranged, and she can't be busy with the production company while making a movie, that's very unprofessional and not focused enough.

It is best to have a trustworthy person to help her handle the work of Tianji Films and report to her regularly.

Frank laughed then, leaning back on the couch, "Oh, that's a good idea too—so, have you chosen?"

He didn't seem to mind that Josie rejected the manager's idea and didn't continue to mention it.

Josie looked into Frank's eyes with a smile, and suggested in a rather casual tone, "How about El? Whether it's a driver or an assistant, he's too talented for him... Let's forget it, he doesn't have Relevant work experience."

Frank's heart that had been pulled up by her suddenly fell back slowly, and judging from the smile on his face, his expression was still impeccable.

He put his fingers together and said, "Mr. Keizer is indeed too young. But if you don't have anyone else you are willing to trust, you can temporarily use him to supervise this matter."

Josie just laughed.

She was a little curious that she had never formally introduced Al and his name, which Frank had already known.

—You know, Brittany still doesn't know what El's last name is.

Or did Frank care so much about her that even the staff around her found out?

Josie couldn't figure it out for the time being.

She picked up the water glass again, drank the remaining lemonade, and said: "I have someone to choose, but I'm not sure if he is willing to come and help me, so I need to make a call, or meet directly talk."

Frank immediately understood Josie's meaning, stood up and said, "Then, I'll go first. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. I'll settle down in San Francisco."

"Goodbye, Frank." Josie said, she didn't want to continue to use another address, and it seemed that Frank didn't care.

"Goodbye, Josie." Frank paused, seemingly unintentionally said, "I bought a small house by the sea in Malibu. When you were a child, you said you wanted to live there when you grew up."

"No, I've always wanted to live in the Hamptons." Josie corrected without thinking.

After she finished speaking, she turned her face away suddenly and angrily, unwilling to even look at her father again.

"Really? Maybe I've misremembered," said Frank at last. "I hope you enjoy it. Anyway, I love you so much, and your mother Edna."

The author has something to say: The hostess father is a capitalist who puts interests first, and his daughter is special to him, but not the most important in his life.His mentality is that everything is under his control, and he has not considered the situation that the original heroine will be fragile or collapsed, because he himself is the kind of person who is cold and strong in heart.

It is not absolute that the tiger father has no dogs, otherwise the impression of the rich second generation would not be so bad. The original heroine is always in a state of protection. She was psychologically traumatized when she was a child, so she was withdrawn and lacked love. Although her father was not meticulous , but the education and material conditions she enjoyed before were all top-notch.
