At that time, trade unions of various types of work were also in their infancy, and they attacked each other fiercely. It was common for them to expose each other's shortcomings in newspapers, boxing fights in real life, and even hiring gunmen to beat each other up. This kind of high-intensity game had some

One advantage is that the boundaries of various professions are quickly fixed.

As an agent, you can fight for roles for your clients. You can also secretly put pressure on producers, and even deceive or pressure your actor clients, but you can never show your face and manipulate a project as a producer.

In other words, you can never do this openly.

Michael Ovitz's CAA has had the idea of ​​packaging projects from the beginning, starting with screenwriters and directors, and has led blockbuster projects one after another, but you can never brag in the newspaper that you led the project.

Nor can the project be registered in the name of the producer with the Producers Association. This is the bottom line stipulated by the law, and it is also the limit of the game between various unions for decades.

Today, Dustin Hoffman's emphatically thanking Ovitz is equivalent to putting him in the shoes of director Barry Levinson, nominal producer Peter Guber, the production company United Artists, and the distribution company Mi

Above Gaomei.

Moreover, Dustin Hoffman's unspoken intention also showed that not only was this project led by Ovitz, but today he won the award and received the Best Actor statuette, becoming the fifth double Best Actor, and it was also Ovitz's operation.

the result of.

"Isn't it fair to treat my working girls equally?" Ronald's anger rose. He was looking for Ovitz everywhere. These agents are very good at hiding themselves and hiding from the camera.

Lens, try not to let yourself appear in the image.

"Over there..." Richard from behind whispered in Ronald's ear, and then pointed to the back row of the "Rain Man" crew. Just behind Dustin's seat, Ovitz happened to be

over there.

He covered his face with his hands and hunched over to hide from the camera panning over. He must have discovered something was wrong.

The TV station's camera failed to catch him, so it had to pan back and focus on Glenn Gross, the most popular actress, and where Hoffman's wife and family were.

Ronald's eyes did not move away, he stared at Ovitz.

Ovitz just straightened up and wanted to relax his muscles, and he met Ronald at a glance. When he saw Ronald's gaze, his heart skipped a beat. Hoffman might have good intentions, but he broke the rules. This

How should I explain this to Ronald?

Ovitz had no choice but to turn his head away. He hadn't thought of his words yet and couldn't look at Ronald for too long now.

"Huh?" Unexpectedly, what came over there was an even more angry and questioning look, coming from Gene Hackman. He and Hoffman were both one-time Best Actor winners, and they were old friends.

, this time Ovitz actually helped his client with such public relations at the Hollywood Academy, and helped Dustin Hoffman surpass himself. It was simply...

"I don't, I'm not..." Ovitz mouthed a few words in vain. This time he was in trouble.

Gene Hackman and Alan Parker are also clients of his CAA, and he personally signed Hackman and Parker, but he is not the usual manager.

Maybe this time there will be conflicts within CAA, and I can only suppress it with my own strong hand.

Ovitz had made up his mind and turned back to Ronald. He also did a lot of public relations for Best Director. It didn't matter that Hackman was an actor. Ronald, as a director, would have a significant impact on CAA's business.

It's so big that I have to find a way to comfort it.

"Why is it that Hoffman suddenly attacked like this? I usually don't even take photos. When major media take photos of me, they will take the initiative to ask to delete them. Isn't this putting me on the fire?"

Michael Ovitz was a little annoyed, but he did not specifically say not to thank himself. He could only applaud slowly.

He felt another gaze looking at him, and when he looked up, it was Tom Hanks Ovitz who gave him the friendliest smile.

Yes, yes, it doesn't matter if Gene Hackman doesn't like him, he can't play a star. Hanks obviously has a better future than him. This person is not yet a client of CAA. It would be good to show his strong strength today.

side of.

As for Ronald? Ovitz looked over again. Ronald only gave him the back of his head. Richard from his company was explaining something in Ronald's ear.

"Hey, with such dedicated employees, I have nothing to fear. The system of multiple agents designed back then is working well. At times like this, there will be loyal employees to fill the loopholes. As long as I can use my eloquent rhetoric again

, point out a few more projects to Ronald that are expected to win the Best Director, and everything is under control..."

"I'm sorry. Niceta and I only found out about Ovitz's trump card today. He usually does these things without telling us. I will work with Rick to protest to him tomorrow. If he doesn't give an explanation

, we will threaten to resign and start our own business.

We know very well who is our food, clothing, and parents..."

Although Richard was also shocked by what happened today, it was obvious that he and Niceta had not considered which side they would stand on if Ronald's interests were inconsistent with those of CAA.

"Richard, don't say stupid things. Look at Diane's partner, Mr. Tom Hanks...look at his expression."

Ronald didn't want to show his anger, but pointed at Tom Hanks to Richard. Hanks didn't know that CAA was already in internal strife, but he looked envious, hoping to have the opportunity to meet with CAA's O
