In the cafe at the airport, the waiter brought two cups of coffee and a cup of juice. Murphy paid the tip and did not move the coffee. Instead, he looked at the agent opposite who claimed to be from William Morris.

Martin Miller was also looking at Murphy. The other party was beyond his expectations. Although there were also amazing young people among his clients, they were actors and were completely different from directors. How many years have Hollywood not been a young director who could get such a horrible box office record at such an age?

If the other party hadn't created such a terrifying return on investment, and had another intern-like agent contract, William Morris wouldn't have let him dig a corner.

"Director Stanton," Martin Miller didn't watch coffee, "William Morris is very sincere inviting you to join."

There is no need to hide or beat around the bush such things, and he just waved his hoe.

Carey Mulligan turned to look at Murphy, remembering the phone call that James Franco's agent had made when he was in Australia, and found that his boyfriend had become a hot item at some point?

William Morris's agent also checked the flight specifically and ran to the airport to block them, as if he was afraid that Murphy would be taken away by someone else.

Murphy smiled and said calmly, "Thank you and William Morris for your kindness. I am very happy to work with Caa now and have no plans to change the agency for the time being."

"As far as I know, is you signing an internship contract with Caa now?" Martin Miller certainly would not give up and continued, "Caa does not value you, and the resources you invest in you except your agent Bill Roses."

After hearing what he said, Murphy didn't speak. He was indeed satisfied with Bill Roses, but there was no special feeling for Caa, Uta, William Morris, etc., and it would be no harm to see the conditions they offered.

It is obviously impossible to impress someone with verbal words. Martin Miller is not stupid, knowing that Murphy is looking at the conditions he offered.

"William Morris is very sincere." He said sincerely, "Eight percent of the agency's commission, we will focus on you and form a mature film team!"

This is often a treatment that only famous directors will receive.

Martin Miller continued, “William Morris will do your best to run your projects, and as long as you need them, the company will convince its big stars to work with you.”

There should be another sentence that Murphy automatically filled in his mind, provided that his project can attract those big-name stars.

"I can guarantee," Martin Miller's words are not over yet. "My celebrity clients can participate in at least one of your projects."

He is not an unknown agent like Bill Roses. He is a Jewish identity and many years of experience, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a close to the first-class entertainment agent in the circle.

"Oh?" Murphy seemed to be interested, "Including your actor clients?"

Seeing Martin Miller opposite him nodded, he deliberately said, "Padme Amidala?"

Martin Miller didn't hesitate at all, "Of course!"

Anyway, this seems to be very sincere, and a movie called Saw seems to have completely changed the situation Murphy faced.

Perhaps this is Hollywood, where there is a difference between heaven and earth between successful people and newcomers, even if that newcomer may really be a genius.

Murphy certainly wouldn't give an answer immediately. He made a thought statement, and after half a minute, he said, "I need to think about it for a while. Mr. Miller, I will give you a clear answer next week."

The opposite side is not a newcomer without a way, but two films are successful directors of capital. Martin Miller never thought that it would impress Murphy immediately. Appearing at the airport in this way is more to establish an impression that William Morris attaches great importance to him and can also show a certain sincerity.

"Okay." Martin Miller stood up and stretched out his right hand, "I'll wait for your call, hopefully it's good news."

Murphy shook his hand, "I hope so, too."

Martin Miller left the cafe first. After Carey Mulligan finished drinking the juice, Murphy took her away with her, went to the airport storage to pick up her luggage, called a taxi, left Los Angeles International Airport, and rushed directly to Stanton Studio in Santa Monica.

In the taxi, Carey Mulligan kept looking at Murphy, "So you have become so popular, Bill should be worried."

Murphy just shook his head and smiled. When the conditions were not much different, his first choice was Bill Roses and Caa.

Back at Stanton Studio, Murphy was carrying her luggage. Before she could enter the house, she saw Paul Wilson walking out of it with Bill Roses. The former took a few steps and took the suitcase from Murphy.

Paul Wilson completed the graduation procedures and not only officially joined Stanton Studio, but also signed an agency contract with Bill Roses.

"Is there something wrong?" Murphy asked at Bill Roses.

Perhaps hearing the movement outside, the huge Rosa Rodriguez and the financial officer also came out.

Carey Mulligan could see that Bill Rossis and Murphy had something to talk about, and he called out to others, "I brought you a gift to everyone, everyone has a share. Paul, push your suitcase in."

Others followed Carrie Mulligan into the house.

Murphy walked out of the iron gate, and Bill Roses followed.

Walking under a huge palm tree, Bill Roses said, "I heard from Jim that his agent has called you?"

"That's right." Murphy nodded, "I just met William Morris' Martin Miller at the international airport a few days ago."

Not saying it all, but Bill Roses understood it, "They all sent you an invitation?"

Murphy spread his hands, "I didn't expect that it would be so popular now."

Bill Roses looked up at the palm tree. This one was extremely tall. "The agency must choose the best one."

He withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Murphy, "The company's management has talked to me specifically and is preparing to sign a new brokerage contract with you."

"Trial?" Murphy asked directly.

"Ten percent in the industry average," Bill Rossis replied.

This condition is not good or bad.

Murphy thought for a while and asked again, "What about the others?"

Bill Roses laughed, "We are old friends. If you have the conditions, I can give you a reply now. If I can't agree, I can respond to the company's senior management."

"I need a team," Murphy said without hesitation. "A behind-the-scenes production team with strong competitiveness is centered on me."

A mature team is too important for directors.

"Fellie, Paul, Helena, David, Jack..." Bill Roses said a long list of names, "These candidates you liked during the last shooting are now Caa's customers, and their priority partner is you!"

"If I need it," Murphy said, "caa is going to run my project."

Bill Rossis nodded, "The company thinks so too."

Murphy waved his hand, "For other specific terms, you go and talk to Robert, and I will call him."

This was somewhat beyond Bill Roses' expectations, "Is that all?"

“It’s just that for the time being.”

It’s not that he has no other ideas, but if his ideas do not match his actual status, it will only add other people’s jokes when he comes up with it.

Murphy was about to leave, but Bill Roses called him, "Wait, Murphy."

"There's something else?" Murphy stopped.

Bill Roses breathed and said, "Your agent will not be myself in the future."

Murphy understands what he means and has a little understanding of some of the operating strategies of Caa, "You want to cross-manage me?"

"It's not management." Caa still pays attention to these language expressions. Bill Roses quickly corrected it, "It's for you to work together."

"Is this necessary?" Murphy frowned.

In his impression, this strategy was set up to prevent brokers from taking their clients to other economic companies.

"Actually it will be good for you." Although Bill Roses is reluctant, the brighter Murphy's future may be, the better his future may be. "Such cross-service can save you from worries. Every agent has his own expertise and will be responsible for a business."

He pointed to himself, "For example, I will be responsible for your film business. But in addition to being the core film business, you will also have other troubles, and another agent will be responsible for helping you solve it..."

After Bill Rossis briefly explained, Murphy roughly understood.

The reason why caa can attract so many stars and directors to join is not only because of its business capabilities, but also providing services beyond its core business that were not available in the past and other competitors.

For example, they pay attention to the focus of their important customers after get off work, and provide auxiliary services in family residence, medicine, children's schools, and even food, clothing, housing and transportation. Therefore, the management of caa will assign special tasks to some brokers.

In this way, every important client has four to six brokers. In addition to increasing the cost of "betrayal", it can also serve customers better.

Among the agents prepared by Caa for Murphy, Bill Roses is responsible for the core film business, and plans to have one responsible for media communication and daily life, one responsible for literary writing, and one responsible for special opportunities.

In fact, it is normal for actors and directors to change agents. For example, some of them have changed several times before they find the right one. However, such a comprehensive service is difficult to make people disgusted. Instead, they feel that the company is very humane and staying here will be more convenient and comfortable.

At least Murphy thought it was pretty good, "I have no objection, but if other agents are not suitable, I have the right to change them."
