Just after the New Year in 2007, practitioners in the Hollywood circle have been working hard again. The actors who are interested in awards season try their best to canvass votes. Various film companies look at the plans for the new year, agents are busy cultivating or exploring customers, and more people are thinking about their future.

Martin Davis has the most common name in the United States and the most common appearance of white people in brown hair, blue eyes and deep nose. In the past year, he developed quite a bit. In the first half of the year, he was first laid off in the DreamWorks distribution department and became one of the dismissal staff. Later, because of his experience in DreamWorks, he finally entered the marketing department of Sky Dance Film Company, but when he was fighting for the position of a supervisor, he lost to another person with less qualifications than him.

Then, he encountered office politics and was sent to a front-line market research team by his competitors. Since November, he has been running around in Greater Los Angeles and surrounding areas, and went deep into the market for the market prospects of "Fast and Furious".

While working hard and complaining, he was also very curious that this series has no half cent relationship with Sky Dance Pictures. Why did that super rich second generation do market evaluation?

Due to curiosity, Martin Davis overheared the conversation between the competitor's boss and the bald executive, and then suddenly realized that the boss of Sky Dance Pictures was preparing to buy the copyright of the "Fast and Furious" series from Universal Pictures.

The reason why the boss dared to do this is because Matthew Horner's advice is behind it.

Martin Davis has met Matthew Horner, and even heard of his great reputation. Matthew Horner and his super rich second-generation boss David Ellison are very good friends. The only successful movie since the establishment of Sky Dance Pictures also originated from Matthew Horner's recommendation. The movie "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" instantly made Sky Dance Pictures famous.

The entire Sky Dance Films now particularly believes in Matthew Horner's vision.

He knew very well that Hollywood recognized Matthew Horner as having unique features in film selection. After all, those who succeeded in so many movies in a row must not simply be attributed to their good luck.

Therefore, as one of the employees who participated in the first-line market research of the "Fast and Furious" series on the spot, Martin Davis learned the ins and outs of the incident without spending much effort.

It was probably time to go, and an acquaintance at Caa happened to be inquiring about the "Fast and Furious" series. After hearing that he worked at Sky Dance Pictures, he took the initiative to find him and was preparing to offer a considerable reward.

Drive from North Hollywood to Burbank, Martin Davis turned around and entered Forty-third Street, parked the car in front of an old-fashioned cafe, got out and walked into the cafe gate.

"I'm here, Martin." A greeting sound came immediately.

The cafe is not big, Martin Davis turned his head in the voice and immediately saw the acquaintance, a second-line agent of Caa, Brock Lesner.

He immediately walked over and sat opposite Brock Lesner.

Brock Lesner ordered a cup of Blue Mountain for him and said, "Long time no see, Martin. I didn't expect you to leave DreamWorks."

Martin Davis shrugged and said, "Dreamworks has no choice but torn aside the issuance department. Fortunately, Spielberg is quite kind and gave a considerable severance payment."

Those who can act as entertainment agents are undoubtedly good at observing their words. When Brock Lesner heard this, he immediately understood that Martin Davis should have said this on purpose to show that he is not short of money.

The two of them communicated by phone before, but they just mentioned the matter, and they had to discuss in person how to do it.

Brock Lesner pretended not to understand, but said, "Your friend said you were not very happy at Sky Dance Pictures."

He was able to find David Davis, and he was also specially asked for someone to refer him. The two of them had just met each other before.

David Davis is in a bad situation, and it is hard to hide this from someone who is interested. He simply said, "Bullock, if you have something to ask me for, just tell me."

"Just on the phone," Brock Lesner asked calmly, "Why did David Ellison conduct market research on the Fast and Furious series?"

David Davis knew he was a little anxious just now and quickly returned to his calm. "Sorry, I can only tell you that Sky Dance Film is making market estimates for the sequel to the "Fast and Furious" series. The rest of mine cannot be said, this is a business secret, and I must abide by my work contract."

Brock Lesner almost got angry and was so angry that he came here, so why did he say that he was following professional ethics?

"These so-called secrets are not worth a dollar in your stomach." Brock Lesner was still calm on the surface. "Do you respect your work contract? Sky Dance Pictures respect your personal value?"

Without waiting for David Davis to answer, he said, "No."

Speaking of this, Brock Lesner gestured, "If you can tell me in detail, the money will belong to you."

David Davis shook his head, what else to say.

Brock Lesner doesn't want to waste too much time on him. As an agent with a certain status and resources, if two senior executives of Universal Pictures had not contacted him, he would have dealt with the bald man before, would he pay attention to such a small person who was eliminated by DreamWorks?

He opened the briefcase, took out an envelope, placed it on the coffee table, and pushed it to David Davis. David Davis picked it up, and opened it and seemed to be checking it carefully.

"You should know that I work in Caa and have a wide connection in the circle." Brock Lesner couldn't give him too much money, and also prepared a condition, "If you leave Sky Dance Pictures, I can introduce you to a new job, such as going to Universal Pictures."

Caa's agents are also divided into high and low levels. If you want to become a partner, you either have big-name stars or can operate one-stop services for some high-quality projects.

Originally, it was difficult for such an opportunity to be on his head. He happened to convince the bald man to turn to Caa. Two senior executives of Universal Pictures received news and took the initiative to contact him, hoping to use the bald man to win over funds and restart the "Fast and Furious" series.

Although Universal Pictures is not optimistic about "Fast and Furious" and has temporarily cut off this series. The two senior executives of Universal Pictures seem to be alone, if Van Diesel and him can get funds, it will be enough to convince Universal Pictures' management to restart the series and he will become the head of one-stop service.

Once successful, the benefits will be huge; of course there is also a risk of failure, but Vin Diesel agrees with him. If he doesn't take risks, his career will only stop moving forward.

For Hollywood, standing still means regressing, and there will be too many people behind them pounce on them like wolves and swallowing them up.

Just like the two senior executives of Universal Pictures, they have ambitions, greeds, abilities and resources to climb to a higher place.

David Davis closed the envelope and asked, "Are you sure you can help me get a better position than you are now?"

"Of course." Brock Lesner seemed confident. If the "Fast and Furious" series went according to the plan, it would be very easy for David Davis to join Universal Pictures. If it really doesn't work, he could still work on the crew. "Caa's agent has always done what he said."

David Davis doesn't believe in Caa's credibility, and these agents have no credibility, but the dollar he got is real benefit, and he stayed in Sky Dance Pictures very unhappy. If he continues, he will only fall into the quagmire of office politics and he has plans to resign...

"I believe in your promise." David Davis said something wrong to his heart. This is always an opportunity, and then said, "We conducted market research on the Fast and Furious series because David Ellison, the super rich second generation, intends to buy the copyright of this series from Universal Pictures."

"That's it?" Brock Lesner stared at David Davis.

These speculations have been revealed to him that he himself could guess that the reason why he asked David Davis to bribe the news was on the other hand.

David Davis was like squeezing toothpaste, and he squeezed out a sentence, "David Ellison has already contacted people from Universal Pictures, and Universal Pictures is still considering it."

Brock Lesner wasn't most concerned about, asking, "Why did he want to buy the copyright of the Fast and Furious series?"

"Because Matthew Horner!" David Davis said slowly. "Matthew Horner suggested David Ellison to do this, and is also preparing to jointly contribute with David Ellison."

"Matthew Horner!"

Brock Lesner clenched his fists hard, it was true!

This is his most concerned issue. If the "Fast and Furious" series is just David Ellison's intention, he will also carefully consider the cooperation with the two senior executives of Universal Pictures.

Now it is confirmed that it is Matthew Horner's suggestion, and what is more stressful is that he is still preparing to invest...

What does it mean? Judging from the perspective of Matthew Horner's film selection in the past two years, the "Fast and Furious" series is definitely valuable.

"What method and price do they plan to buy the copyright of the "Fast and Furious" series?" Brock Lesner asked again.

"I don't know this." David Davis said the truth. "My marketing department is responsible for this series of market research."

Brock Lesner nodded and stood up first, "Let's just get here. Goodbye, David."

"goodbye."

Seeing David Davis wave, Brock Lesner left a US dollar bill and left the cafe without looking back. He spent thousands of dollars and a small promise to exchange for such good news. It was very worthwhile.

But he also knew very well that even if Matthew Horner was optimistic about the future prospects of the "Fast and Furious" series, they had too much planning to do.
