Hollywood What If Chapter 78

  [Author's note: Regarding the CAA partnership, I only read about it twi the Hollywood novels I read. I 't find an article to prove this point, but I decided to add it anyway].

  "Kazir... This is Rafael and Stetson. Rafael will now handle yotiations with the movie panies, while Stetson will take care of your writing team."

  Just as Kazir had expected, he now had two ents to do his work for him.

  CAA had a policy of having more than one agent to make sure that the agent could not keep the t alone.

  This kind of polily happened when the t was talented, successful, and had strong prospects. Kazir checked all the ditions.

  This kind of situation was very on, even Steven Spielberg had many agents.

  Even Tom Cruise had many agents, although Pat Kingsley was still his mai. She was the one who trolled Tom Cruise's PR.

  "o meet you both."

  Kazir greeted them and shook their hands. The two men before him looked distinguished and well-mannered.

  "Rafael graduated from college with a degree in business administration. He has been with CAA for more than 8 years. He has six ts under him."

  Salvatore introduced. He was not that bitter. After all, when Kazir was successful with Napoleon Dynamite, he already expected this situation.

  "o meet you, Directrey."

  "Well, this is Stetson. He is a swriter and . He help your team make the script more pact. He has five actors under him."

  Salvatore introduced the two. Both Rafael and Stetson had experien their respective fields.

  "I see..."

  Kazir kept his smile. Then he approached Salvatore after the two agents had left.

  "I'm surprised you're taking it so well. You are not at all disappointed."

  "About that, they said that if you make another successful movie, they will invite me to the board of directors." Salvatrinned.

  "I fug k."

  CAA artnership of agents. Every agent was equal and could bee part of the board of directors.

  If Salvatore was successful iing on the board, he would have a stronger voi the pany.

  "I'm surprised Huvane promised you that."

  "We even signed a tract... I really had no choice but to agree. I don't want to lose a big piece of the pie, so I might as well get a better deal. But it all depends on you."

  "I will try my best to get you the position. About the ission?"

  "The tract will not ge, 3% pert ission. Rafael and Stetson will each get 0.7%, while the 1.6% is mihis kind of partnership is good for the t and the pany, but bad for the agents. The pany is afraid that I will start my own agend take you with me, so they make this ge immediately."

  "You don't have any pns to start one?"

  "For now? No... But if my ts have better careers, I might have to. Maybe they will try this bullshit again when Enzo bees successful."

  "Don't worry, they usually don't care about sed-rate actors."

  "Hey, if Enzo hears you, he might get heartbroken."

  "I'm just kidding."

  The two ughed. Fortunately, this i didn't have a strong effe them. Now that their career paths were being clearer, the ways to make money were also being clearer.

  "By the way, Kazir, why don't you hire an assistant? I feel like you're treating me like one."

  "I don't know about that. I 't trust people."

  "Not even me?"

  "Yes, not even you."

  "Still, I think it would be better for you to have an assistant."

  "Do you have any suggestions?"

  "I don't know, why don't you go to the post office or something?"

  "I'll think about it."

  Money was no problem for Kazir. He could hire someoo make his work easier.

  "Rafael is already waiting downstairs, we have to fa Rothman this time."

  Salvatore reminded Kazir of the importaing.

  "Yes, the meeting with Brad Grey didn't end well. Paramount is ied in Teddy Bear instead. Maybe they know a pany that will let them use the trademark for a teddy bear."

  "Then they have to give better terms."

  The real title of the script was still not in circution, even the script was not polished. Only Kazir had the perfect script, he would give it to the movie pany that bought the script.

  Never show your best card to the public, they might steal it.

  The two went downstairs and found Rafael Foster and Terrence Downey.

  "Let's go to 20th tury Fox."

  20th tury Fox. A film pany that was famous all over the world. It produced so many masterpieces and people would never fet the legendary logo. Evero music of 20th tury Fox was iic.

  The home of Titanic, Avatar, X-Men, Star Wars (the first six films were distributed by Fox), Independence Day and Deadpool. There were many movies that 20th tury Fox produced, but these were the mnizable.

  A few minutes drive brought them to the 20th tury Fox headquarters.

  'I have ret. I regret that 20th tury Fox was bought by Walt Disney.'

  Hollywood was a movie factory with perfect procedures. But Walt Disook it to another level. So much so that their movies lost any artistic value, and even Marvel superhero movies became repetitive and b. In his old age, Kazir was disgusted by Disney's greed.

  Disney will never hesitate to swab the water to make it dirty. Ohing is clear, I don't want my children to learn that twerking is emp. So fuck you, Disney, for the hree decades.

  Seriously, who the fuck were the writers at Disney? Your movies tely have been ass, ugly as shit.
