Chapter 148 CAA Brokerage Company
"The final editing right is really important to the director, isn't it?" Xu Guanwu asked with a smile.

Richard nodded, "The final editing right is supreme to the director. In Hollywood, only a few people can have this kind of power."

"You can count them in one slap," David Brown added.

"Then if I use the final editing rights and high remuneration as bait, won't I be able to attract many directors?" Xu Guanwu couldn't help laughing.

The final editing rights are not important to him at all.

He also believes that talented directors like Steve Spielberg, James Cameron, and George Lucas, who edit their own movies, are definitely better than those edited by the editors hired by the producers. .

"Richard, I want to meet Steve as soon as possible." Xu Guanwu smiled.

"He's in Hollywood right now. I'll arrange for you to meet after the award ceremony." Richard nodded. "Stanley, do you seem to be very interested in him?"

Xu Guanwu smiled, "I believe he is a very talented director, and he will be famous all over the world in the future."

"Oh?! Do you think highly of him, but in my opinion, there are many talented young directors like him in Hollywood." David Brown shook his head, disapproving.

Xu Guanwu couldn't help laughing, when "Jaws" is released and breaks the box office record, you will know how powerful he is.

"Hey! Stanley! Long time no see, buddy, how are you?" Just as Xu Guanwu was chatting with Richard and David, another strong man suddenly strode over and hugged Xu Guanwu warmly.

"Stallone, long time no see!" Xu Guanwu was taken aback for a moment, and then happily hugged this tough guy.

Today's Stallone is very different from last year when he was down and down. He looks like a nouveau riche with famous brand suits, diamond gold watches, and beautiful women around him.

"Man, I haven't seen you for more than half a year. Where have you been?" Stallone said with a smile, "I miss the days when we worked hard together. When will you come back?"

"Let's see, let's talk. Now the main development direction of my career is still in Hong Kong." Xu Guanwu waved his hand.

Although he can earn more money in the United States, the differences in customs, culture, and living habits make it difficult for him to live in the United States for a long time.So in comparison, Hong Kong is the most suitable place for him to live.

"That's a shame." Stallone shook his head.

"How are you doing recently? Have you made any new films yet?" Xu Guanwu asked curiously.

Stallone shook his head, "The pay they offer is a bit low. In their opinion, I'm probably just a bad boy who got lucky. They don't want to pay me too much. I think if I can get some awards, The pay will be higher."

Xu Guanwu nodded. He learned that the salaries of Hollywood movie stars are clearly divided into several grades.Generally, it is very difficult for a movie star at the bottom to step into the ranks of top movie stars with just one movie, even if it is the annual box office champion.

Hollywood producers have to make multiple considerations based on the box office results over the years, awards, current popularity, actors' acting skills, etc., and carefully upgrade the stars.And once a star's worth rises, it's hard to come down again.

Stallone was unknown before. Although he became popular in the United States with "Rocky", because his qualifications are too low, his net worth is still in the third and fourth tiers. This naturally makes Stallone, who is so popular, very dissatisfied.

So after filming "Rocky", he never took on acting again, but wanted to wait for the end of next year's awards ceremony.If he can win the trophy, then his worth can at least jump to the second tier.

Although the third line and the second line are only one line apart, the difference in value is calculated by ten times.

Although he hasn't received any new movies for the time being, he still has a wonderful life when he shoots commercials, does activities, and appears on shows.

"Stanley, I recently signed with a brokerage company." Stallone said with a smile, "They helped me pick up a lot of jobs and made me a lot of money. Look, I am worth tens of thousands of dollars."

Stallone is like a child who gets a birthday gift and shows it off to the children around him.

"Very good, which brokerage company is it?" Xu Guanwu asked casually.

"The Creative Artists Agency was newly established by a few young people, and the name is very catchy. But I like to call them CAA." Stallone laughed.

"What do you think is the abbreviation of the company?" Xu Guanwu felt familiar at first, and hurriedly asked again.

"CAA!" Stallone repeated.

Xu Guanwu frowned, read it twice in his mind, and suddenly remembered, "Stallone, did these young people leave from other brokerage companies before and choose to start their own business?"

"Yeah, how do you know?" Stallone asked in amazement.

Xu Guanwu slapped his thigh, and suddenly smiled, "When are you waiting, arrange for us to meet up."

"Well, I think they are also very interested in you as a producer." Stallone laughed.

Xu Guanwu also smiled proudly.If he remembers correctly, this innovative artist agency will become a top Hollywood agency in the future, recruiting countless Hollywood movie stars and firmly occupying the top three positions.

Stars, directors, and screenwriters are all valuable resources in Hollywood, so having CAA in your hands is tantamount to owning an invincible gold mine.

Now CAA is only just established, and its value is not very obvious. It is the time for Xu Guanwu to buy the bottom.

……

After chatting with Stallone for a while, it was time to walk the red carpet. As producers, David Brown and Richard Zanjuk were usually not the protagonists of the red carpet, so they walked hastily.

However, Stallone became famous all over the world because of "Rocky". Although he is not worth much at the moment, he is still a popular star, and he is also the nominee for the leading actor tonight, so he will appear in the finale, just behind Xu Guanwu.

……

He was about to walk the red carpet soon, and listening to the melodious music, Xu Guanwu couldn't help feeling a little nervous, his palms were sweating.

"Awu, don't be nervous, relax, just remember to smile later." Seeing Xu Guanwu's nervous look, Zhao Yazhi quickly smiled and comforted her.

When she participated in the Miss Hong Kong election, she had seen similar scenes, so she was not as nervous as Xu Guanwu.

Xu Guanwu nodded, "Azhi, you don't seem nervous at all?"

"I concealed it well." Zhao Yazhi smiled triumphantly.

Xu Guanwu smiled slightly, took a deep breath, and walked onto the red carpet with Zhao Yazhi holding his arm, accompanied by music.

The media on both sides of the red carpet quickly discovered Xu Guanwu—this yellow man with a distinctive complexion, and immediately thought of his super dark horse "Rocky".

And Zhao Yazhi's elegant temperament, beautiful appearance, and the glittering and translucent jewelry she wore instantly became the focus of the reporters' attention, instantly killing many films.
