Taking a deep breath, Lin Xiao opened his mouth.
"There is nothing else, I only have one. When I am paid 500 million dollars, I want to immediately upgrade to the second-tier contract. When it is tens of millions of dollars, I must upgrade to the first-tier contract!"
"Also, wma can't use the standards of Asia-Pacific stars to ask me." He said lightly, "If I'm not wrong, the third class should only be the path of Asia-Pacific stars."
"I want to go to Hollywood, but you give me Asia-Pacific, isn't this a deception?"
He used a declarative sentence, because when he said it, Simil and David froze.
How could he know what the third class contract was? !
This is what they are thinking in their hearts.
They knew that Lin Xiao's guess was correct, the third class was indeed only the standard for investing in Asia-Pacific stars.
It's normal for Lin Xiao to know that when Rain stepped into the altar of Asia-Pacific idols, William Morris made great efforts. Every time he met someone and participated in something, the shrewd manager made arrangements every step of the way. After several years, he finally got Rain has cultivated from an idol in one country to an idol in Asia Pacific.
When Rain made his debut, he was definitely not as good as Cheng Long. At that time, Cheng Long was already a superstar in the Asia-Pacific region and only signed with WMA, so he concluded that Rain had a third-level contract at that time!
He didn't know that this frightened Himmel and the also made them completely stumped.
Brokerage companies need eyesight, and use eyesight to determine the position of an artist.
Only when it is planned for the artist can it go on positioning is a taboo for brokerage companies.
From the artist's appearance, acting style, specialty, to psychology, everything is planned by extremely accurate planners, and the brokerage company is not as simple as helping to build bridges.
Managers have to carefully consider everything from the status of an artist, to whether the film is suitable for the role of an artist.
However, Lin Xiao's request blurred this positioning.
Asia-Pacific stars have the way of Asia-Pacific stars, and Hollywood has the wall of Hollywood. The two have similarities and request is to develop in the Asia-Pacific region while accepting Hollywood films, whichever is easier to accept, of course, if the agent can get it.
Himir thought for a long time before he frowned and said, "Mr. Lin, let me advise you, to truly become a superstar, just like your predecessor Cheng Long, first gain a foothold in the Asia Pacific."
"The Japanese and Korean markets are the two major markets in the Asia-Pacific region, especially their rules are more than 70% similar to those of Hollywood. The most common reason for foreign artists to fail in Hollywood is not because of their poor acting skills and poor background. In fact, dare to break through No one in Hollywood is mediocre, and almost everyone is a leader in their own country."
She glanced at Lin Xiao, "The most common thing is to be blocked by Hollywood's rule wall!"
"It is very necessary to use the Japanese and Korean markets to familiarize yourself with the rules first. If you have to pay attention to several markets at once, I am afraid that you will not be able to do it. And... Let me be honest, the directors and artists in the Japanese and Korean markets are more expensive than the brands in the Chinese market." Hard, 'this will also help you increase your status."
Lin Xiao thought about it, rebirth was the biggest hole card, the opponent couldn't figure out how much energy he had, and thought he saw everything about him, but in fact it was just a blind eye.
What Schimmel meant was to concentrate, otherwise, I am afraid that the exposure rate in any market will not be enough.
With Lin Xiao's status, he can almost only accept movies. The exposure rate of film and television artists is slightly lower than that of singers, and they have to be spread across two markets, which is really not enough.
"It's just tiring." Lin Xiao finally said, "You European and American artists, I'm afraid you can't think of the schedule of Asia-Pacific artists."
"Eight-hour working hours in Europe and the United States are iron-clad. The shooting cycle of a film is considered to be more than half a year. Why? Because if you shoot more, your producers have to pay artists and crew three times the salary. But Asia-Pacific does not have this problem. .Our film can be released in half a year. I am tired at most, so if there is a suitable film in Europe and America, I will definitely not let it go!"
Himir thought for a long time, then nodded, "Indeed, the Asia-Pacific has this habit, regardless of China, Japan, and South Korea. But I still want to say, focus on one market. Europe and the United States can be attached. Now that you are famous, Europe and the United States are really not suitable for you. home field."
"Okay." Lin Xiao said freely.
"Okay, then, we will draw up a specific contract for you within two weeks." Himmel stood up, "Mr. Lin, you are a very promising artist, and we welcome you to join wma, the big family of William Morris. "
"We have cultivated Hepburn and Elvis Presley. Similarly, you can get to this point!"
"We look forward to this day, Mr. Lin."
The three shook hands, Lin Xiao smiled and said, "However, recently I have an audition with Hollywood. A role of Batman."
"So soon?" A trace of displeasure appeared in Himir's heart, and he said restrainedly, "We will send you a suitable agent as soon as possible. They should be able to arrive before the contract."
The two walked out of the coffee shop, and after getting into the car, David finally couldn't help but said, "Simmel, why did you agree to his request? This is a rude request. There has never been such a precedent in WMA!"
"What kind of contract is usually given? Once he really reaches the Asia-Pacific star, it will be five or six years later. At that time, he will enter Hollywood and he will be in his early thirties. It is difficult for a role of this age to be Asian. Find a suitable role for him! What's the use of upgrading to a second-tier contract? He's not a Kung Fu star. Hollywood already has a Cheng Long. It's a waste of a good agent, WMA's agent, which one Isn't he experienced in many battles?"
Himir was silent for a while, then sighed, "Why don't I know what you said?"
"However, you missed the most important point."
"He has Shuguang under his command." Himir looked serious. "This is a lore weapon. There is no new video in the United States every day, and he has to control it every day. If he uses a certain important business of Suguang to seduce a famous editor Write a script tailored for him, what will happen?"
"William Smith complained about setting up an artist section on Suguang. It was because of this complaint that Suguang in the United States had a "superstar special show." Can you say that Suguang is useless?"
"Someone is building a new station now, but don't forget that Shuguang's network broadcast rights were bought out at dawn. Sequoia is behind Suguang! This is a big Wall Street player, and they will not allow the new station to go so smoothly."
She said with emotion, "With this thing, no matter how many taboos he commits, there is always a glimmer of hope for a comeback. Of course, the bigger possibility is Hollywood's collective rejection of him. I don't want to give him a second date, not because of his low status." It’s his Hollywood road, it’s really bumpy.”
"Now, Warner can be said to be one of the best among the Big Six. Steve Case has just stepped down, but the influence of the old man, I don't need to say more, he is coming to Hollywood, this is a big hurdle, plus his first Two years of filming history..."
She shook her head, "It's been a long time..."
"I just left him a chance and didn't give him a definition. After all, he has too many possibilities... As for where he can go, it depends on his own efforts...Of course, since wma signed this contract , will definitely go all out. If he really reaches tens of millions of dollars..."
She suddenly laughed, "Star plus dawn... Hehe, if we don't create the next superstar, I'm sorry for the brand of William Morris!"
Lin Xiao did not stay in China anymore.
After returning to Beijing, the first thing he did was to pack his luggage.
He brought life assistants, makeup artists and other people, but he decided to fire them.
Everything is about to be a brand new beginning!
Tomorrow, he will go to Tokyo to audition for Batman Begins.
This role is not big, but it is the first step for him to enter Hollywood's attention!
The first step, often trivial, is necessary.
Everyone knows the importance of this role, even a national treasure artist like Ken Watanabe would not let it go, even if he knew it was just a small role, he nodded and agreed.
He didn't even think that the first step to go abroad would be to face the national treasure artist of Japan.
And what he values most is Nolan's 10-year masterpiece, Inception!
Without the cooperation of Batman, Ken Watanabe would never be able to play Inception, and this is the same for him.
There are only a few people around, and the bodyguards have also been disbanded. There is no such need in foreign countries.
Assistants, lawyers, a total of five or six people, he will start his journey again!
And this time, the target is global!
"Huh." He took a deep breath and boarded the plane to Tokyo.
"There is nothing else, I only have one. When I am paid 500 million dollars, I want to immediately upgrade to the second-tier contract. When it is tens of millions of dollars, I must upgrade to the first-tier contract!"
"Also, wma can't use the standards of Asia-Pacific stars to ask me." He said lightly, "If I'm not wrong, the third class should only be the path of Asia-Pacific stars."
