Hollywood What If Chapter 215
Kevin Huvane, he was a famous talent agent at CAA. He was the agent of Steven Spielberg, Jennifer Aniston, Sandra Bullock, Anthony Hopkins, Meryl Streep and Jennifer Lopez.
He was also co-chairman of CAA, along with Bryan Lourd and Richard Lovett. These three reigned over CAA after Michael Ovitz disappeared.
Even though the three were w for the betterment of the pany, it was impossible to have no petitioweehree.
Bryan Lourd was currently the co-chairman and CEO of the pany, which was the highest position. Kevin Huvane sometimes thought about taking the position, you know, people like to be at the top of the food ahe king.
Retly, rumors have been cirg in the industry. Rising star director Kazir Grey nning to switch agencies when his tract expired. In fact, WMA was already w on a deal that would meet Kazir's needs.
Kevin Huvane khat losing a great director like Kazir would be bad for the pany. So he talked to Salvatore Barlowe to vince Kazir to stay at CAA.
His first impression of the half-Korea was average at best. He khat Salvatore's signing of Kazir was the best decision of his entire life. In a way, the half-Korea was lucky.
A lot of agents are jealous of him because of that.
However, Salvatore's status in the pany tio improve. Kevin Huvane was the one who reended him to join the board after the success of Taken. Many agents were against the idea, but they gradually fell silent as Salvatore's ts found their way in the industry.
Brianna Evans was doing great. She was a certified star.
Scarlett Johansson had roles here and there and her future was bright.
Fremont Smith directed Taken 2 and it was a success. Another director with a good future.
In fact, Kevin Huvane wao ge Fremont's agent because it would be problematic to have a who had two big directors under him. eeded to bahe power...
Of course, Kevin Huvane would give Fremont Smith to a close to him.
'I should wait for the right moment to disclose this to Salvatore.'
Another t under Salvatore was Enzo Park. This Korean actor was still trying to find stardom. He got some good roles, but they were all supp roles. He was never io py the lead.
Of all the ts Salvatore Barlowe had, Kazir Grey was the most important. First and foremost, Kazir was the reason that all of Salvatore's ts became famous. The director paved the way for them.
A who had a director like Kazir was really lucky. Well, Kevin Huvane had Steven Spielberg, so there was no reason to be jealous.
Anyway, Kazir Grey was an important t and they didn't want to let him go. Kazir was a workaholic director and he had a movie every year. His projects were profitable and the actors and actresses he cast in his movies were mostly from CAA.
If Kazir Grey left CAA, it would affect many of the agency's ts.
Frankly, Kevin Huvahat Kazir was gambling if he actually ged agencies. His produ pany was just getting started and ability.
Still, Kevin Huvaook this matter very seriously, and he had to e up with a solution before things went south.
A few mier, Kevin Huvane's secretary informed him that agent Salvatore Barlowe had arrived.
The half-Korea ehe offid greeted Kevin Huvane. Salvatore Barlowe had a better retionship with Kevin Huvahan he did with Bryan Lourd and Richard Lovett. The three of them had an inside war in the pany.
"Salvatore, I was hoping to hear some good news."
"I've already spoken to Kazir. He trusts me, so our versation is not so bad."
"So what are his ditions?"
Kevin Huvane was no fool. He khat Kazir's tract would expire year, and the rumors were spreading at the right time. Obviously, the director was trying to say something.
"He only has two ditions."
Salvatore raised his fingers and began to speak.
"First, he wants to reduce the ission to 2%."
"No problem, we do that."
Kevin Huvane agreed easily. He khis moment would e. It seemed that Kazir Grey had the same tract as the directors in the agenbsp;
"As for the sed, Kazir said that Fremont Smith should remain as my t. He said he didn't want any trouble for CCU, so it's better for Fremont Smith to stay as my t so that unication won't be difficult."
"..." Kevin Huvane closed his mouth.
"If Fremont Smith ges his agent, the new agent will definitely ask for an eous sary and the iation might be difficult. We don't want that to happen." Salvatore Barlowe expined further.
"Salvatore, did Fremont know about this?"
"Yes, he feels ied to me and Kazir. He trusts us more than anyone."
'... What an asshole.'
Kevin Huvane said in his head. No one knew who he was talking about. Maybe he was talking about both Salvatore and Kazir.
"I'll tact Bryan and tell him about Kazir's dition. Of course we don't want Kazir to leave, so we will definitely meet his ditions."
Kevin Huvane smiled ahe agent out of the office. He realized he had raised a snake.
He didn't know who came up with this pn, but they certainly knew how to silence him before he could even start.
For now, his pn to ge Fremont Smith's agent would be buried.
After this, his opinion of Salvatore Barlowe had ged. He was no longer a rookie agent. He was a certified shameless agent who would do anything to get what he wanted. Ah, the life of a talent agent is truly unique.
