Chapter 110 Official debut from today
Century City, Los Angeles, CAA Headquarters.
"Is this a big company? The floor-to-ceiling windows are too luxurious. I think I can even see Hollywood in the northwest."
The agent in charge of receiving the family was preparing hot coffee for the three visitors. Dorothy, who was sitting on the sofa, looked left and right, like a country girl who came to the city for the first time.
The uncle didn't speak, but judging by his frequent pursing of his lips, he had the same mentality as Dorothy.
Bill lay on the couch carelessly, making himself look like a grandpa.
According to the schedule, he was supposed to be on his way to Hawaii with his uncle, aunt, younger siblings.Before the family spent Christmas at home, Bill, who had money in his hands, went to California for a year and a half to take them to Hawaii to spend Christmas and New Years. After a dozen phone calls, he finally Convince the whole family to come join him in California.
It was just that Yevgeny's words woke up Bill yesterday noon, and he immediately drove his family to Los Angeles because of his career, and found a hotel for his aunt to take Neo to rest.He and the remaining two family members ran to the CAA headquarters in Century City and began formal contract negotiations.
"Gentlemen and lady, please enjoy our coffee."
A middle-aged manager named Chris brought three cups of coffee one after another. The energetic Bill didn't need this thing to refresh himself. Los Angeles is not cold in winter, so he directly put the paper cup on the table not far away.
Dorothy took it and took a small sip, while my uncle took a sip, and spit it back after being scalded. During the process, she also stained the chest of the jacket, and Dorothy hurriedly helped uncle wipe it.
The owner of this office, Chris, also came over with a tissue to help wipe, "Sorry, the water I used was too hot."
He bent down to help the uncle straighten his jacket.
Bill squinted at all this, and from the moment they entered the door, Chris was very humble, which made Mr. Ferrari feel that the conversation could continue.
After the trivial matters in the early stage were resolved, the agent began to talk about business.
"...You mean you want us to help you manage your image before entering the NFL, and develop a second career in the film and television industry during the off-season, and we can get you a professional contract."
Chris took a pen and paper and took notes while talking.
"That's probably the case, but I also have conditions. Your percentage is at most [-]%. If there is more, I will go to ICM."
Naturally, it was impossible for William Morris to offer a lower percentage than CAA, so Bill didn't use this to threaten Chris, otherwise he would think that he was an idiot who didn't understand the market.
"Mr. Ferrari, it's like this. The director has to decide on the ratio. Although I am professionally responsible for sports, I only have a few NBA players. I don't know much about football. Please wait a moment with your family, I will go Let Lang Meyer, who is in charge of this matter, come."
After Bill said yes, Chris nodded to the client's two families with a smile, and walked out of the office to find the real man in charge.
"Brother, is this company reliable? He just said that he doesn't understand football and NFL, and his main business is basketball." Dorothy turned her head and asked her brother.
Bill looked as if he knew everything, "Don't worry, girl, the coach and I have investigated this CAA company specifically, and their five founders are all ace brokers of the top brokerage firm William Morris. The way of working and the sincere enthusiasm for treating customers have risen rapidly. The five founders used to be in a high school basketball school team. It is normal for them to start with the NBA direction first, but the NFL is also a brokerage market that is too big for people to ignore. CAA has always I want to squeeze in, but there is no room to exert force."
There are only 450 active players in the NBA, while the NFL has more than 500 rosters. There are also substitutes and sparring players who are not on the roster, all of which require agents.Any brokerage company that wants to make a big splash in the sports industry cannot miss the big market of NFL.
"Dorothy, just believe Bill's words, he is on TV every day, he is much more professional than us."
The uncle didn't raise any doubts. With his knowledge and experience, he really couldn't tell what was wrong.
The three people here are waiting for the agent to bring their boss, while the agents over there are urgently searching for all the information of the visiting clients.
"Michael, the NFHS New York State Association has faxed his high school experience."
"I called my friend from the NCAA, and he promised to find all the college data and awards of this person before 10:30."
"It's not easy in San Francisco. We currently don't have any colleagues on business trips there, but we can ask our colleagues directly."
In a large office, several staff surrounded Michael Ovitz to quickly find out the situation of Bill Ferrari.
Efficiency, conscientiousness, and enthusiasm are the keys to the rapid rise of this start-up brokerage company.
Ron Meyer and Chris were also here, the latter reporting client requests to the executives.
"Eight percent is too little." Michael Ovitz directly interrupted Chris, "I'll talk to him in person later, the broker will take 20.00 percent, and the remaining two services will each be [-] percent." Six-fifths, a total of [-]% of the contract wages will go into our CAA account."
Lang Meyer, one of the five founders, frowned, "He asked for [-]%, and you doubled it three times faster. Believe it or not, after hearing your words, such stingy customers turned around and went to ICM run."
"I'll give him an undeniable offer." Michael Ovitz ordered while reading the materials, "Lang and Chris go and stabilize them first, don't mention the share, I'll bring someone over as soon as I finish reading the materials. "
"As soon as possible, the three sentences of the brokerage contract cannot be separated from the share." Lang Meyer ordered Chris to leave after a sentence.
Michael Ovitz waved his hand, "Someone who can understand football statistics, tell me what kind of football player this is."
An employee came to the manager, pointed to the paper in the manager's hand and began to explain: "From high school, he should have the ability to go straight to the NFL. Look at his receiving data, 630 six yards in 53 regular season games. Total receiving yards, [-] receptions total. Nineteen total touchdowns all season, totally dominating the strong side."
"He still has the title of the best athlete in New York City in 80. It is very difficult to get this honor if he is not a quarterback. This means that his performance on the field is far beyond all the quarterbacks of the year."
"Look at his bench press results and 25-yard sprint speed. In high school, he often bench-pressed [-]-[-], and the peak speed of [-]-yard speed was [-] seconds, which is already the physical fitness of an NFL professional player. In college, he may have slightly Take some medicine and he'll explode again. There's no better combination of power and speed for the versatile tight end position."
During the discussion between Michael Ovitz and his subordinates, intelligence from the NCAA was also placed on the table.
"This San Francisco derby against the Golden Bears, his comeback...against a top team like the University of Notre Dame Irish Warriors, he can also carry the ball all the way to the end zone, which means the Irish Warriors The team's defenders can't stop this top beast, I heard that he has the nickname of Texas Longhorn, I think it is very appropriate."
Listening to the detailed analysis of his subordinates, Michael Ovitz had an idea in his mind.He stood up abruptly, "Come with me, let's subdue this beast."
……
"Actually, I came here for your warm service. Only a fast-rising brokerage company like CAA can meet my needs."
Director Lang Meyer brought by Chris is also not talking about business. Bill guessed that the person in charge should be collecting his own information, so he also talked about it, not talking about business.
"On this point, Mr. Ferrari can definitely put his heart into his stomach..." Before Lang Meyer finished speaking, a large group of people walked into the office.
The leader is a thin white man in his early thirties, with good facial features, combed back hair, and bright eyes, he looks like a person who often makes decisions.
"Let me talk to Mr. Ferrari." Michael Ovitz waved Ron Meyer and Chris back.
After the manager and Bill shook hands one after another, he sat on the chair carried by his subordinates, surrounded by seven or eight subordinates in suits, which made him equal to Mr. Ferrari who was leaning on the sofa.
"Let's not talk nonsense, sir, your agency contract takes a percentage of [-]%. This part includes us negotiating salary with your professional team, creating a complete career plan for you, and you Necessary positive image as a star."
Just as Bill was about to say a few words, he reached out his hand to stop the client's words, and then continued.
"The remaining [-]% is the fee for the nutrition and injury team we tailor-made for you. Please believe in CAA, when the season is going on, you must have two professionals by your side with the team, one One is a professional nutritionist and the other is a doctor."
"The second six percent is the cost you need to pay in the film and television industry. We will let you start a second career in film and television as soon as you enter the NFL like Simpson and Joe Montana. In the off-season, The resources you get are the kind that can only be obtained by the top film and television stars in the company."
Bill did some calculations, "You guys just took away 20.00% two, and I lost too much."
The first [-]% is the proportion taken by the broker, and the latter two are the services provided by CCA, but the service is paid in the form of sharing, which is far from his idea.
At least he doesn't need to pay the agency for injuries and nutritionist's money, he can form a team by himself.
"Sir, my reasons are as follows." Michael Ovitz was full of confidence. "I know your strength. You are a top tight end in the college league, and you are almost a top player in the NFL professional team. Our company needs to launch a business The benchmark of NFL stars, if you develop rapidly in both sports and film and television, our company can also quickly open up the situation among NFL professional players.
You know, the best second career for football stars is to make movies, and their fans will really pay to support their idols.And in order to let latecomers pay 20.00% of the on-site contract, your ratio cannot be lowered. "
Dorothy elbowed her brother, and it seemed that she also felt that the proportion was too high.
"Tell me what you can give me!"
Although it is impossible to close the deal with this ratio, Bill still wants to hear the offer from this person.
With such a high commission, CAA has to pay a corresponding price.
"Our sincerity has always been in the whole process of cooperating with you. So, if you are interested, you can sign a [-]% basic contract today, and we promise to let you enter the first place in the University of California football players selected by major media this year." Camp. And this year’s first team of college freshman football selected by some media this year. From the weight of these media, you can feel our sincerity in building a benchmark.”
Bill felt amazing, "I'm already a sophomore, so I'm still a freshman? Can I still be selected for the first camp of freshmen?"
Michael Ovitz stood up and buttoned his suit, "This reflects our attitude. You can see this good news on TV before spring training, and then we will talk about the next two contracts. "
He stretched out his hand, "Congratulations, Mr. Ferrari, you will make your official debut from today!"
PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket and ask for a monthly ticket.
