In an office near the Warner Building in Burbank, Aziva Gossman welcomes a visitor, Kevin Huo Wein, a famous agent from Caa.

"Hello, Aziva." Kevin Huo Weien had a passionate smile on his face, "I haven't seen you for a long time."

Aziva Gosman shook his hand and said with a smile, "Hello, Kevin."

The other party is one of the most powerful agents in Caa and a partner. He is quite famous in Hollywood. He is the main agent of Will Smith and Halle Berry, and is also a member of the agent team of Julia Roberts and Meryl Streep.

The agent itself will not bring any benefits to the producer, and it can even be said to only cause trouble. For a producer like him, there is only one main standard for measuring the agent, which stars he serves.

Kevin Huo Weien sat down and said directly, "Aziva, a few days ago, Will Smith received an audition invitation for your new project "I am a Legend". She is very excited and very interested in the protagonist. He has always wanted to work with you. He specially asked me to come over and express his gratitude to you. He will cherish this audition opportunity."

Aziva Gosman was slightly stunned, but did not show it, and said vaguely, "Will is a very outstanding actor, and I have always wanted to work with him."

"Will has always been a fan of Richard Matherson." Kevin Huo Weien has been preparing for this time. "In the past two days, he has read the script and the original work several times, and is looking forward to the next audition."

The formal audition invitations were sent out, and Aziva Gossman could not deny it and said with a smile, "I'm looking forward to it too."

Kevin Huo Weien smiled, opened the briefcase he carried with him, took out a document from it, pushed it directly to Aziva Gossman, and said, "This is the box office data of all the movies that Will starred in since "The Jedi Men".

He specifically emphasized, "Will has become famous for more than ten years and has accumulated a large number of fans. He is one of the most successful commercial movie stars in Hollywood today."

Aziva Gosman picked up the information, opened it and looked at it. He thought about using Will Smith as the character template. Of course, he knew very well.

It is no exaggeration to say that Will Smith has now reached the top ranks of the front line. If there are two or three movies that sell at the box office, it will definitely become the first black superstar in Hollywood's history.

Actually, there is no need to watch it. Aziva Gossman also knows that since the release of "The Jedi Men" in 1995, the movie starring Will Smith has not failed except for "The Jedi Men 2" that was not very good at the box office.

The past decade and the success of more than a dozen movies have made Will Smith one step away from the superstar.

Turning to the last page of the file, Aziva Gossman couldn't help but frown slightly.

Kevin Huo Weien has been observing Aziva Gossman quietly. Observing words and expressions is one of the most basic skills of an agent.

"Aziva, this is a statistics on the composition of audiences in the theater market since the new century." He said at the right time, "In recent years, the number of audiences in the film market has generally shown a slow downward trend, especially the number of white audiences."

Hearing what he said, Aziva Gosman didn't say anything, just looked at the statistics, which came from cinema score and was very credible.

Kevin Huo Weien has reached his current position, although it is related to the financial support behind him and the status of Caa partner, but he also has his own abilities. Otherwise, he would not have become the main agent of Will Smith and Halle Berry.

"The opposite is," Kevin Huo Weien continued, "the proportion of minority audiences is increasing rapidly, and Latino and black audiences are becoming one of the main consumers of the theater market together with white audiences."

His tone gradually became stronger, "Will has always been very popular. He has a natural advantage in pleasing audiences of minorities."

As a producer, Aziva Gossman actually has some understanding of the changes in the audience and the market, and he is also more concerned about social current affairs. The current population composition ratio of the United States is also very telling. A data released some time ago shows that blacks are gradually rising to 13%, and Latinos have reached 15%. In addition, for example, Asians and other populations, minorities are becoming consumer groups that cannot be ignored in any market in the United States.

Although Hollywood slogans were shouting loudly, he knew very well that America was not a country with ethnic integration, but a country made of multi-ethnic platters. The gap between various ethnic groups was very obvious.

In terms of attracting minority audiences, Will Smith does have his own advantages.

But this cannot change the fact that white audiences are still the main players in the market and the most important audience in the cinema.

Aziva Gosman closed the document and said, "Kevin, I will consider what you said carefully."

Hearing this, Kevin Huo Weien knew it was time to say goodbye. Facing a well-known producer, many words had to be stopped, and he didn't expect to touch Aziva Gossman in one meeting. He was not so naive, and Aziva Gossman was not so stupid either.

The male protagonists who are produced in Hollywood like this are often a long-term process, and their goal is not only Aziva Gossman, but also important characters from other crews will also have some contact.

Kevin Huo Weien certainly won't ignore director Francis Lawrence.

Although the crew's power is in the hands of producer Aziva Gosman, no one will ignore the director's influence on the project he directs.

"Francis is a real left."

In a driving car, Beyoncé said to Will Smith next to him, "He photographed me so many MVs. When I was still in the group of True Destiny, Francis and I knew him very well."

Will Smith nodded slightly.

Beyoncé continued, “Francis is the one in the circle who really advocates that black people should have the same status as white people.” She smiled at Will Smith. “He said more than once that you are an outstanding representative of black actors.”

"This is the best." Will Smith said with a smile, "Thank you for introducing me."

"Don't be so polite, Will." Beyoncé said naturally, "You have helped me a lot before. Besides, we should unite so that we can develop better."

Will Smith nodded again, "You're right."

Although I do not agree with Beyoncé's statement deep down, and I do not like those inexplicable remarks, and always think that Hollywood is fair to me, Will Smith is also very clear about some things that I can't say, otherwise his compatriots will definitely pounce on him and tear him apart.

In fact, this is also beneficial. Even if he has a white heart, it cannot change the fact that his dark skin is.

The car they were riding in soon arrived at the door of a private club. After waiting for a few minutes, the agent Kevin Huo Weien also rushed over.

After the two parties met, they entered the club together and met Beyoncé’s appointment with Francis Lawrence in a sea view reception room.

Beyoncé introduced both parties, but did not say much and left directly.

Even if she had a little friendship with Will Smith, Will Smith had helped him, and she had limited favors to return. She introduced her relationship with both parties who had never dealt with, and this favor was almost the same.

"Will, I've always loved your performance style."

In the reception room, Frances Lawrence was a little excited to see Will Smith come over in person, "I am your movie fan."

Although he is a famous director, he has just moved into the film industry and is several years younger than Will Smith.

Will Smith responded politely, "I've seen the MV you shot for Beyoncé. The style is unique and impressive." He continued, "Actually, when watching the MV, I had an idea. If we can work together, can we get a video with a very unique style?"

Francis Lawrence, in some ways, was not a fool, even though he was a little bit naughty and immediately heard something in Will Smith's words.

"Well, can we cooperate?" asked Francis Lawrence.

"Of course, we have the opportunity to cooperate!" Will Smith asked in surprise, "Don't you know? The crew of "I am a Legend" has sent me an invitation to audition for the male lead. Once I pass the audition, we can realize our desire to cooperate."

Francis Lawrence immediately understood and showed some embarrassment. "Will, I really want to work with you, and I can really give some opinions on the cast, but the decision is in the hands of Aziva Gossman."

He thought about it and said, "Aziva Gossman has basically finalized that Matthew Horner will play the leading role. The two sides are still negotiating. The director, I, can have limited influence."

“We don’t need you to do more.”

Kevin Huo Weien, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke, "Dieditweier, you only need to dotitweier in front of Aziva Gossman, and many Wills say good things to highlight a black actor that is more suitable for your project, that's enough."

"That's it?" asked Francis Lawrence.

These things are really easy to do and don't take much effort.
