When you walk out of the elevator, there is a huge glass door about five steps away from the left, which can accommodate at least six people to enter side by side. Inside the glass door is a screen wall, with a light blue base embellished with navy blue fonts. The cursive handwritten "Fengjing Elite Brokerage Company" is immediately brought to your eye. The screen wall is dotted with tea-yellow hollow plywood. It does not look gorgeous and cumbersome, but it reveals some elegance, and it adds some historical heritage and bookish spirit out of thin air.

There was a huge service desk before the screen wall. At this time, two people were sitting behind the arc-shaped reception desk. After seeing someone appear at the elevator entrance, one of them stood up and greeted the arrival of the four people with a bright and gentle smile. "Good morning, Mr. Pence." The receptionist was obviously all trained and knew the big names in Hollywood. "Rick has always been looking forward to your arrival."

The receptionist's kindness made Roland and Dean feel much more at ease. Kevin's expression remained calm as usual. He only heard the receptionist say skillfully, "Please follow me and go to the conference room for a little rest. Rick will immediately visit you in the conference room."

Kevin also smiled politely, "Please lead the way."

Bypassing the screen wall, you can see the neatly planned office compartment behind. The spacious and bright windows allow the sunshine in Los Angeles to fall without any obstacles. The office compartment in front of you is not narrow, on the contrary, the view is very smooth. If you look closely, you will find that each office compartment corresponds to the frosted glass office on both sides of the aisle. After rough calculation, there are about fifteen offices on this floor, and thirty office compartments.

It seems that this floor is the office of truly top brokers in the elite brokerage companies, and those compartments are the desks of assistants.

Just by meeting, Kevin can feel the ambition of this company. The entire office environment is very atmospheric, and even the most powerful innovative artist brokerage company currently does not have the calmness and courage. It seems that the future goal of the elite brokerage company in Fighting the Elite Brokerage Company is definitely not just the top Hollywood.

"Kevin." Dean quietly patted Kevin's arm. Kevin was originally looking at the surrounding environment quietly. He noticed that each office was frosted glass on the top and transparent glass on the bottom. Not only could you vaguely see that the decorations and designs of the offices were completely different, but he also noticed that a small wooden sign was hung at the door of each office, which made him want to see it by himself, and he couldn't help but feel a little distracted.

After receiving Dean's reminder, Kevin took his eyes back and saw the oncoming Mark Canton-Columbia Pictures executive president.

At this time, Mark's face showed a clear look of surprise. He did not hide his expression, but instead greeted him, "Allen, I didn't expect to see you here. Why, did you come to Los Angeles for vacation?" Obviously, Mark also knew Allen.

When Kevin was distracted, Allen was very focused. He grabbed Mark's right hand and said politely and restrainedly, "This is not a city suitable for vacation." He took it over in a simple sentence, without answering Mark's question, "Where are you here today to do business?"

Mark's eyes rolled and he chuckled twice, "This is Los Angeles, one of my activities, I'm just visiting each other casually." He looked like he was haha, and then Mark's eyes met Kevin. The two competitors all showed polite and perfunctory smiles, and even hugged each other, "It seems that you are very busy today, so I won't disturb you."

Mark had no intention of spying on Kevin, and cleverly avoided the core. Kevin naturally had a lot of cooperation, "If you have something to do, go first and come out to have dinner together another day."

Mark greeted Allen again, then crossed over and left. After entering the elevator, Mark's smile closed and muttered in a low voice, "Allen Strello, why did Kevin get together with him..." Mark frowned, turned to his assistant and said, "This matter must be investigated. Kevin Pence has never been a person without plans."

Although the assistant standing by was very curious, curious about who this "Alan Strello" was, he knew that in Hollywood, don't take the initiative to inquire about news, because you often hear news that you shouldn't know. A truly smart person can hear many news as long as he pricks up his ears.

Kevin's mind was also twisted twice at this time. Although outsiders were next to him, he could not exchange views with Allen, Roland and others, but he was already thinking about it. He didn't believe in coincidences, especially in occasions like the Engaging Elite Agency, one hundred coincidences may only be true once. In other words, Mark and him were obviously Rick's arrangement, but why?

Columbia Pictures, led by Mark, has been incredible in the past few years, but it has taken a sharp turn since last year. In 1994, Columbia Pictures did not have a work of over 100 million yuan a year. The highest box office was only more than 60 million in the "Love Years", which was a complete defeat. So far this year, there is only one "Brave Game" worth mentioning. Before the "Brave Game", the highest box office was only the "Jedi Men" that won 65 million.

It can be said that Columbia Pictures' current situation is even worse than Twentieth Century Fox.

Mark has been trying to establish a good relationship with Hugo, especially after the "Wolf" lost to "life and death speed" in the summer last year. Unfortunately, Mark's method has always been wrong and has not reached a cooperation so far. What is Mark's appearance here today?

Several thoughts flashed through Kevin's mind. He remembered that Columbia Pictures had a project called "Man in Black". This project not only invested 90 million US dollars, but also invited Steven Spielberg to serve as the producer. He invited Hugo to star in the role as the producer as last year. Unfortunately, because the script was too bad, Hugo directly returned the product Hugo was rejected in front of Steven's face.

In addition, Columbia Pictures currently has more than 80 million projects in planning, with at least three.

Kevin's temples jumped twice. Obviously, this was Rick's warning to him. No matter what Mark and Rick talked about, it is certain that Twentieth Century Fox is not Hugo's only choice, and perhaps their conditions are not the best than the desperate Columbia Pictures. Although Kevin knew that this was Rick's negotiation method, he couldn't help but buy it, because Hugo is the buyer's market now, and there is no semicolon for this company.

Originally, Kevin felt that he had come to the elite agency to interview in person today, showing enough sincerity, but now it seems that Rick has no intention of buying it. Kevin had a premonition that today's negotiations would not go smoothly.

In the blink of an eye, Kevin's thoughts had already moved several times. After entering the conference room, he whispered to Roland, "Change it into a second plan."

Roland was stunned for a moment. As soon as they sat down, Kevin had already settled for the second best. However, Kevin turned his head and had no intention of in-depth discussion. Roland knew that things must not be that simple. This made Roland a little nervous.

The group of four people had just sat down and didn't even bring the coffee over. Rick and Joseph had already appeared at the door of the conference room. At least in terms of etiquette, Rick was still very well-intentioned.

"Sorry, there were some errors in my schedule. I was unable to go out to greet you in person. Sorry." Rick said sincerely with a strong apology on his face, which made Roland and Dean relax a little bit of vigilance, but Kevin and Allen became a little nervous.

Nothing in the mall is that simple. Even if it is a coincidence, it must be treated with the right attitude, otherwise Kevin's plan in the past six months may fail.

"Is there anything wrong with Hugo today?" After the greetings, Allen looked around and asked politely with a warm smile.

Rick looked at Joseph, and Joseph calmly said, "I am Hugo's manager, Joseph Gibbs. Today Hugo participated in a charity event and he was a volunteer. Since he could not be there, he asked me to apologize. I hope that next time he had the chance, he could invite you to dinner and express his apology face to face."

It is actually not difficult to choose which one is more important, but Hugo chose the former. And this excuse also makes Kevin unable to complain that he can't say "Hugo shouldn't do charity". However, Kevin has been mentally prepared and is not surprised at all about such a situation. He sighed deep in his heart. He didn't know which link was wrong, but the current difficult situation cannot be ignored.

Although Kevin found out Hugo's psychology and made a huge plan, Kevin never really understood Hugo's thoughts, so he could not understand his mental state at this moment. However, this did not prevent Kevin from cheering up and dealing with it. "It's okay, it's okay, it's just an interview. We originally just wanted to talk to Hugo about his views on the script, and our screenwriter also came here in person. If you have any ideas, you can communicate directly on the spot. However, I think Joseph's appearance must have come with Hugo's opinion, so there is no problem at all."

Kevin was very calm, but the other three showed disappointment. It was obvious that Hugo's absence showed his lack of attention to this cooperation, especially A strong sense of disappointment emerged in Alan's blue eyes. Even his eyebrows were slightly frowning, and he seemed to be exhausted.

"In fact, Hugo is not satisfied with the script, and he is not very interested in the script." Joseph's answer made everyone unable to help but read it, and Kevin looked at Rick at the first time, and saw Rick still having a polite smile on his face, "Kevin, don't tell me, you expect such a script to impress Hugo, right?"

Rick had no concealment and fired all out, causing the negotiations to fall into a quagmire from the beginning.
