Jonathan Friedman has explained all the entanglements involved in the whole project to Simon very clearly. After rejecting the contract, Simon can foresee that he will have a very difficult road ahead.

After screwing up the first project wma was trying to transform, how could the biggest talent agency in Hollywood let itself go. With wma's 100-year history of operating in Hollywood, if the other party wants to clean up himself, maybe just a phone call is enough to make him, a young screenwriter who just debuted, unable to move an inch in Hollywood.

However, Simon has no regrets for the decision he made.

He has been through too much in his previous life, and Simon didn't want his life to be compromised from the very beginning.

Back in Santa Monica, Simon continued his pace of life step by step.

These days, Simon has begun to try to plan the specific shooting details of "Lola Run", and he has not changed his plan because of the accident in the morning.

After spending an afternoon, Simon visited several film equipment rental companies in downtown Santa Monica, consulted in detail about the rental prices of various types of filming equipment needed for the filming of "Lola Run", and took serious notes.

At 5 p.m., Simon returned to the motel, ate, bathed, and slept. At 10:50 in the middle of the night, I arrived at the Griffin supermarket on time and started the all-night shift.

The next morning, Simon called Jonathan's office again, hoping to make an appointment for the next meeting.

To Simon's surprise, no one answered the phone.

After calling several times in succession, Simon planned to go to WMA again, but Jonathan's assistant Owen Wright drove over in person.

Owen Wright, who looked in a hurry, told Simon that Jonathan had completely abandoned the packaging project of "Butterfly Effect" and had flown to the WMA headquarters in New York yesterday afternoon. At the same time, he hoped that Simon could wait patiently for a few days, and Jonathan still hoped to continue to serve as his agent.

Owen Wright, who was obviously going to visit other clients, simply left after a few chats with Simon. Although Simon had a kind of joy and surprise in his heart, he was not too surprised by Jonathan's decision.

The manager who was extremely depressed yesterday was obviously like a spring that was suppressed to the extreme. Simon doesn't know how much Jonathan's rebound has to do with him, but as long as the agent doesn't completely lose his "toughness", it's almost a matter of time before it breaks out.

...

WMA was first established in New York and later developed to Los Angeles.

Since the 1950s, with the rapid rise of the American television industry and the 20-year hiatus of Hollywood movies, wma's work has always been on the east coast. Even now, although the Hollywood film industry has begun to recover, and the center of gravity of the American media industry has once again shifted westward, the core executives of wma are still sticking to New York.

Manhattan, in a building on 25th Street next to Madison Square Garden, where wma's headquarters is located.

It was nearly noon in New York on the East Coast when Simon and Owen Wright met.

At this time, in a conference room at the WMA headquarters, the quarrel that lasted for a whole morning continued.

After Jonathan Friedman made up his mind yesterday and prepared a way back for himself, he flew to New York in a hurry. In any case, he didn't want to give up everything he had accumulated in wma for more than 20 years, so he decided to preemptively seek the support of wma executives.

Norman Broca's various biased behavior in handling the "Butterfly Effect" project also gave him plenty of reasons to do so.

When I suddenly heard that Jonathan Friedman was going to give up "The Butterfly Effect" completely, Norman Broca was almost furious. The entire management of wma had reached a tacit agreement on this matter, and Jonathan could not have been unaware of this package. What would be the consequences of losing the attempt to wma, how dare he do it!

The call back was unsuccessful, and Norman Broca rushed to Jonathan's office in person, only to learn that the other party had left the company.

Furious, Norman Broca simply asked the security to seal Jonathan's office and even kicked Owen Wright out of the company.

Since you left like this, don't come back.

Until the evening, Norman Broca, whose anger did not dissipate at all, suddenly received a call from New York and learned that Jonathan Friedman had actually flown to the East Coast. Quickly figured out what the other party was going to do, Norman Broca did not hesitate at all, and chased after him overnight to New York.

By the time we got to Manhattan, it was already 2 a.m. on the east coast.

The two executives at the West Coast headquarters were so fanciful that the entire WMA management team was quickly alerted.

So, this morning, wma chairman Lou Weiss, company CEO Lee Stevens and some other board members came to the company headquarters one after another.

What followed was a whole morning of arguing.

Jonathan Friedman is always suave when dealing with clients, but he's also not lacking in a strong side.

In the face of the company's big bosses, Jonathan mercilessly accused Norman Broca of his weak behavior of compromising with just a little pressure from the studio, and also criticized the other party for only considering himself in the details of the follow-up cooperation. Selfishness of interests.

Norman Broca naturally fights back, claiming he will make the company's first as soon as possible

The implementation of a packaging project is the real consideration for wma.

Norman Broca doesn't see anything wrong with his decision, either.

Counting "Game of War", which ranked fifth at the North American box office in 1983, and "The Genius of Skipping Class", which is also expected to earn more than $70 million at the box office this year and squeeze into the annual list, it was only four years after his debut. Matthew Broderick It already has two top ten movies at the North American box office.

There's nothing wrong with the company making any slant on resources for such a rising star who is expected to be the next Tom Cruise.

Norman Broca has been in the company since he was 15 years old with the help of his uncle who is the vice president of wma. After decades of contacts, most of the company's board of directors are almost on his side.

However, Jonathan Friedman's backer happens to be Lou Weiss, chairman of wma, and his strength should not be underestimated.

Although he is very dissatisfied with Jonathan's initiative to intensify the conflict, Lou Weiss has to stand firmly on the side of his direct line, otherwise, Jonathan Friedman will be suppressed, Lou Wei Weiss himself is also likely to be implicated.

Let the two quarrel all morning. It was only during lunch that Lou Weiss took the initiative to mediate, discussing a solution with several other board members.

Jonathan has not publicly disclosed his decision to abandon the "Butterfly Effect" packaging project for the time being, and there is room for manoeuvre.

After lunch, the other board members left, and Lou Weiss also announced to the two the results of their preliminary discussions.

Regardless, the Butterfly Effect packaging project must continue. However, Lou Weiss himself will take over the project himself and re-discuss the cooperation plan with the film company. In addition, both Norman Broca and Jonathan Friedman need to let go of the matter completely. All subsequent arrangements for the project are directly decided by the headquarters.

Now that things have developed, Norman Broca knows that it will not do him any good to continue. Jonathan Friedman also managed to throw the hot potato out of his hand while retaining his position.

So, although they were very unwilling on the surface, they both agreed.

However, there are always too many unexpected changes in this world.

Early the next morning, before Norman Broca and Jonathan Friedman had time to get back to Los Angeles, they caught everyone off guard almost simultaneously from the latest issue of The Hollywood Reporter. .

The Hollywood Reporter got the news out of nowhere and suddenly broke the whole recent incident out.

"The failure of the packaging project led to infighting in the company, and the transformation of the old agency giant encountered difficulties"

The continuous turmoil in the first half of the year has not completely dissipated, and the sudden revelation of the "Hollywood Reporter" suddenly caused wma to fall into chaos again.
