Throwing the emptied candy paper in his hand into the trash candy, and opening a pack of rainbow candy again. Lance carefully flipped through the actor information in his hand. This was his third time to read the actor information submitted by the innovative artist agency. ≥

Lance is checking the deviations between these actors and his mind. Some actors have to wait a few years before they can make a name for themselves. Now they can only be regarded as the backbone of Hollywood; some actors may have some differences with their ideas in role positioning, and may not necessarily fully meet the requirements of the script.

In fact, in the final analysis, Lance is thinking about the basis for refuting this list. He does not want to lose his initiative. He can feel the ubiquitous control of the innovative artist agency in the confirmation stage of the actor list. If he really adopts this list, coupled with Tom Cruise's absolute status, after entering the shooting stage, his power as a producer is likely to be emptied.

In this way, he may not necessarily come in handy if he has the final editing rights - it may be like the "Future Water World", which caused a full collapse during the filming stage due to internal strife of the crew.

Thinking of this, Lance couldn't help but have a headache. Those directors from Broadway and independent films always don't like to work with big-name actors or large-scale companies, because they can feel the constraints everywhere, as if they are trapped in a narrow secret room and cannot open up their hands unless they are willing to become puppets. No wonder Marvel movies are unwilling to use big-name directors.

"Dingling...Dinglingling..." The sharp phone ringing broke the silence in the room and interrupted the mixed thoughts. Lance's brows slightly moved slightly to the middle. It was already twelve o'clock in the evening, who would call at this time? Lance sat in the same place without moving, watching his phone flashing on the coffee table, and after waiting for a while, the ringing still rang unstoppably. Lance then stood up and picked up his phone.

It was actually Cole Greed!

Lance raised his eyebrows gently, pressed the call button, and said in a serious tone, "You better have enough reason to bother me of my good times."

Cole couldn't help but be stunned. After a careful analysis, he savored a hint of teasing from Lance's words. He couldn't help laughing, then he also curled up his smile and said seriously. "What's the reason for Tom Cruise's actor contract?"

Lance sat back on the sofa, and his whole body was trapped in a soft cushion, allowing his muscles to slowly relax. "There are many differences in details in the same contract, which I only knew about when a friend told me this afternoon."

Lance's voice was lazily and a hint of narrowness, vaguely revealing a sense of sex. It seemed as if the hazy night was dyed with a thin layer of milky yellow halo, and even without alcohol, it made people intoxicated. The smile on the corner of Cole's mouth couldn't help but gently outlined, but in just a moment, he woke up. The dangerous aura that swept over him made him shivering for two consecutive times, which reminded Cole of Lance's casual and casual posture in the afternoon, which seemed to be unprepared for the simple appearance, but his inner calculations were clearer than anyone else; think about the work "Killing with a knife". Lance almost fought a bloody path with his own strength... Cole took a deep breath and forced himself to cheer up.

Perhaps, this is the biggest turning point in his career.

Cole deliberately chuckled twice. Relaxed his emotions, "No right to confirm, coupled with the restricted right to recognize, he must retain the right to recognize the promotional itinerary, trailers, and posters. However, the right to recognize the actor can be waived - he will respect your profession, but there is a condition that he will not interfere with the reasonable competition between brokerage companies."

To sum it up, it is: the set is decided by Lance, and the publicity is decided by Tom; the actor's choice will not interfere, but it will not become a shield, and it depends entirely on Lance's own control.

Lance's brain started to work quickly, carefully analyzing the pros and cons of the conditions for himself, and soon he came to the conclusion that he had obtained the full control he had always dreamed of, and Tom chose to compromise. As for the cast lineup... he would deal with a result. In other words, Cole met his first requirement.

At this time, less than eight hours after the afternoon meeting, Cole actually fulfilled his first promise. This was not only an accident, but also a surprise. Things went smoothly far beyond imagination. This was definitely something worth celebrating and something worth harassing at midnight at twelve o'clock.

"Your work efficiency is beyond my expectations." Lance could imagine that after leaving Chaos Pictures, Cole immediately devoted himself to the work of persuading Tom. The difficulties and hardships of work were definitely beyond imagination, but Cole completed it successfully, which also proved Cole's ability to work.

After getting Lance's affirmation, Cole laughed, "I was not me who initially convinced Tom to join. I was just an agent, and once again made Tom realize what his goal was, that's all." Compared to his work this afternoon, Cole was more curious about the script and character setting of "killing with a knife". What kind of script is actually that made Tom take a gamble. I imagined that Lance was standing behind this script, Cole's interest became stronger and stronger.

Lance shook his head and said with a chuckle, "Coll, it's not the time to be modest."

Lance and Cole knew very well that although Tom joined "killing with a knife" to win the acting award, it was definitely not easy to convince Tom to give up the right to confirm. Lance was a little curious about how Cole convinced Tom. You should know that Cole is from William Morris' agency. It was already very difficult for him to talk to Tom in a head-on manner; and it was even more difficult to make Tom believe Cole's remarks, not to mention that all this happened within the past eight hours...

"Oh, I forgot it all." Cole suddenly realized, "So, does this mean I got that job?"

"Haha, you hope." Lance chuckled, "There is a second condition, I'm still waiting for the news."

"At least it's worth a try." Cole was not surprised by Lance's answer, but he still joked, "At the same time, I'm waiting for my news." This is saying that the actor audition this afternoon.

Lance bit his lips slightly, his eyes flashing with thoughts, but his words did not pause at all, "I am thinking, and you just disrupted my thoughts."

"God, I hope my interruption can have a positive impact. If not, please recall the content of the call just now, which should be my bargaining chip." Cole showed confidence in time. In the business world, modesty is not a good moral character.

"You should be glad that you brought good news, otherwise the call would have been hung up long ago." Lance's answer was not weak, "But even so, it's time to end the call, and you will never want me to be in a vague state when making a judgment."

"God bless you, good night." Cole said goodbye simply and neatly.

"Good night." Lance hung up the phone.

Business partner, this is Lance's positioning of agents. They should not be friends, but just business partners. Therefore, it is natural that Cole showed his sincerity and ability. Lance did not thank him, nor did he need to thank him, because he would complete the transaction in another way - even if it is not the present, the future will definitely not be forgotten. But it is undeniable that Cole convinced Tom so quickly, which is indeed a lot of extra points.

After hanging up the phone, Lance looked at the phone but fell into deep thought. A clear thought suddenly flashed in his mind: Cole is a senior agent of William Morris's agency. This news is not news, but the point is that William Morris' agency is still one of the five major brokerage companies in Hollywood. Moreover, the rich resources and deep connections are unimaginable to ordinary people. This is also a crucial point.

Although the innovative artist brokerage company currently dominates in Hollywood, if you really want to find a company to fight them, William Morris Brokerage is definitely the best choice. In fact, the five founders of the innovative artist brokerage company were from William Morris Brokerage.

This is a very interesting thing.

Tom shows that he will not interfere in the selection of actors, which also means that Lance must rely on his own strength to fight against the innovative artist agency, which is what Lance just worried about, but now, Lance realizes that he does not need to fight against this behemoth by himself. William Morris's agency is obviously very happy to be the confronter, and they also have this ability.

Recalling the audition this afternoon, William Morris vs. Innovative artists, this was a very interesting confrontation. Terrence was obviously not happy with the scene seen in the corridor, and Cole would never be happy about Terrence's appearance. After the meeting, Cole quickly fought in just eight hours, over the defense of Wade Russell and others, and directly convinced Tom that behind this, William Morris's agency's connections and abilities played a role, it is really worth pondering.

In this way, things become extremely simple. Lance only needs to seek a balance between William Morris and innovative artists, and everything is perfect. Whether it is Shirley and Brad within Paramount, or Terence and Cole who are facing head-on, they will have a check and balance. Any party objection to the list of actors will trigger the other party's resistance. Lance only needs to reap the benefits, which is enough.

After the filming starts, Tom's support will become the guarantee of Lance's supreme authority in the crew. The originally difficult problem was solved in this way. Looking at the list of actors in his hand again, the smile on the corner of Lance's mouth gradually became relaxed.
