In a luxurious reception room on the top floor of the Death Star Building in Century City, Murphy sat behind a long conference table, turned to the last page of the contract, and after pointing to the place where he needed to sign his name, he stroked the pen and signed his name on it.

The contract was signed in duplicate, and Murphy exchanged contracts with Bill Roses and Brian Lauder, who represented Caa.

I had been waiting here for a long time to record the camera shutter.

"I'm very happy that we can renew this agency contract." Brian Lauder, who is in charge of the film business, smiled. "Caa welcomes young talents like you!"

Murphy shook hands with him and said, "It's my honor to join the caa."

It doesn't hurt to say something nice to you in this kind of occasion.

The photographer was invited out, and Robert left, leaving only Brian Lauder, Bill Rossis, and three other agents in the reception room.

Bill Roses took the initiative to introduce it.

"This is Grace Collinder, responsible for media communication and your daily life services."

"This is Gabi Ramos, responsible for your literary creation."

"This is Lingard Waterwood, responsible for the special opportunity."

Murphy shook hands with the three people and nodded slightly. They were the agents selected by Caa based on Bill Roses's opinions. He didn't know them. Whether they needed to be replaced in the future or not, and that time and work were also required to be tested.

This is noted on the brokerage contract signed by both parties. Murphy will not hesitate when he needs to drive this right.

Brad Lauder is an important partner of Caa and has a lot of work to be busy with. He appeared at the signing ceremony to show his importance to Murphy, a rising new director. Now that the work has been completed, his posture has been expressed in place. After giving a few scenes, he left.

The other three people also have their own jobs. In addition to Gris, who is responsible for media public relations and daily life, the other two people also walked out of the conference room one after another.

"Murphy," Grace has already entered work, "Is there anything I need to do recently?"

"Yes." Since signing a new brokerage contract, Murphy was not polite, "I need a separate house."

I used to live in Stanton Studios because of the economic conditions. Now that the economic situation is getting better, and there is Carrey Mulligan, it is definitely inconvenient to continue living there.

Gris immediately took out his pen and notebook, "Are there any specific requirements?"

Murphy thought for a while, "It's better to be in Santa Monica, not too far from Stanton Studio, either in the valley or the beach area."

He pondered for a while, "Don't need to be too big, rent it."

After the last time, after the two million US dollars of share was paid, in addition to the bail of Ross of $300,000, he also paid Bill Ross and other crew members that had not settled. The remaining money was not too much, and the next share would have to wait for a while.

Before going to Australia for a vacation, Ross sent a message, and his account was stared at by the police. He would pay him back the money after it was thawed, but Murphy refused.

Although he helped Ross despite Bill Ross' dissuasion, Murphy was not stupid and knew that he should not have too much economic relations with Ross.

"I will follow up on this." Gris put away his notebook, "I will contact you if there is a suitable one."

She stood up and said, "If there is nothing else, I will say goodbye first."

"Goodbye." Murphy stood up and shook hands with her, watching her leave politely.

There was no one else in the reception room, and Murphy felt a little relaxed. He turned over the conference table and sofa chairs, walked to the bright floor-to-ceiling windows, and looked outside. It was located in Beverly Hills, and it was the top floor of the Death Star Building, condescendingly, overlooking the entire Los Angeles.

"Caa chose this building," Murphy said to Bill Roses behind him, "it probably has a different meaning, right?"

Bill Rossis also came over, shook his head and said, "I don't know much."

"This is the Death Star Building!" Murphy speculated randomly, "The office building named after the invincible Death Star in Star Wars has bought the highest eighth floor. Wouldn't you stand on the highest floor in this circle in an invincible posture?"

Bill Roses laughed, "This is a question for the person who proposes to buy this building."

Murphy changed the subject, "Let's go to your office to check it out?"

"Let's go." Bill Roses leads the way, from the security passage to the next floor, to the position close to the left, and opens the door to an office.

This office is not big, and the decoration can only be said to be average. Murphy just took a simple look and sat opposite the desk. He had an independent office or on a relatively upright floor. This is the symbol of his status in Caa.

In its external publicity, caa said that all its brokers are partners. Of course, this situation is to say. And caa is no longer the one that Michael Orwitz founded. It is indeed a partnership system, but the one who occupies the most shares is no longer the broker within caa.

Just like most entrepreneurs encounter financial difficulties in their development and accept foreign investment, Caa also has foreign investors. Tpg, one of the world's largest private equity institutions, is the largest shareholder of Caa, and holds up to 53% of Caa shares!

Other shares are scattered in the hands of partners within caa.

These partners form the management and superstructure of Caa, and are also the highest-ranking brokers within the company. The conditions for other brokers to squeeze into this circle are not complicated. As long as they have super heavyweight clients, such as Tom Cruise's agent Pai Jinsili, they are very likely to become a partner of Caa.

In other words, the quality of the customers in hand directly determines the status of a broker in the industry.

So, what Bill Roses is most concerned about now is Murphy’s new plan, and a director ultimately depends on his work.

"Godin Clyde of Fox Searchlight called me several times." He sat opposite Murphy, "and wanted to determine when the sequel to Saw."

"The sequel to "Saw"?" Murphy didn't remember mentioning the sequel.

Bill Roses asked strangely, "Is your new film not a sequel to "Saw"?"

Murphy shook his head, "No."

Bill Rossis wanted to speak again, and Murphy raised his hand to stop him and said, "There is indeed a sequel to this series. Many stories and characters are not explained clearly, but it is not suitable now."

He reminded, "Don't forget that the impact of 911 will last for a long time."

Although the public is gradually recovering, such videos will still be affected by the aftermath, and it is best to launch a sequel plan next year.

The "911 Incident" has had a huge impact on the political and economic life of Americans, and the entertainment industry is naturally inevitable. Hollywood, which is in the leading position of world movies and entertainment, is relatively relaxed movies. The public needs relaxed entertainment more easily than ever before. Any film that can be linked to 911 or is too cruel will increase exponentially in recent times.

Films like "Saw" are not without a market, but the market situation is not very clear in a short period of time.

Murphy would definitely not have bumped into it even though he knew that there was a copper wall in front of him.

The best choice next step is the superhero movie. The occurrence of 911 has increased the public's demand for omnipotent superheroes, and personal heroic films will have a more marketable market.

Another is a typical American-made film with a relaxed atmosphere.

As we all know, the North American film and television market is basically an insulator. North American audiences have never caught a lot of attention from non-North American productions. After this incident, this market will be more closed. It is more difficult to succeed in foreign products. The choices of producers and consumers in the entertainment industry will be more inclined to be "Made in the United States".

In the past, some European movies that were popular all over the world were highly regarded in North America, and this situation will become even worse in the future.

Murphy had thought about it carefully before.

He is not opposed to purely market and popcorn-based superhero movies. The problem is that no one will ask him to shoot this type of film. Even if he has ideas about this, copyright is a big problem.

"X-Men" has been released. Marvel Comics has realized the power of its superheroes. In addition to those authorized, it has begun to become self-refined and no longer authorized to the public. Moreover, those who can be brought to the big screen now are all the most well-known superheroes. The producers invited basically first-line or accurate first-line directors.

He is far from meeting this standard.

The so-called traditional American film production is his best choice.

Because the styles of the first two films are similar, he has accumulated enough experience in film noir, which must be the choice of a new project. Murphy is very clear that even now, his abilities cannot be said to be outstanding. Choosing the most familiar type can reduce the chance of failure.

The problem is that most noir movies are cruel and contrary to the current social situation.

Therefore, he plans to appropriately add comedy and absurd elements to the new project to avoid the audience's disgust because the film is too bloody.

Murphy told Bill Roses these ideas, but the agent frowned, "Fox Searchlight was determined to continue the sequel to "Saw" and it would be difficult to pass such a project."

"Let's find other companies." Murphy never hangs on a tree. "We've signed a new agency contract. Caa won't kick me aside so quickly, right?"

Bill Roses immediately came to his spirits, "Are you going to hand over the new project to the company to operate?"

Murphy said strangely, "Isn't this the most time-saving way?"

"You don't plan to continue investing in your own video?" Bill Roses asked.
