  Chapter 54 The Emotional Benefits of Business Behavior

   "Michael Ovitz, is that Michael Ovitz?"

   Abel hangs up the phone,

  Jessica just kept silent,

   Finally couldn't help but asked in a low voice.

   "That's Michael Ovitz." Abel replied with a smile.

   Jessica's plump and beautiful lips twitched, and she wanted to say something, but she didn't.

  Abel knew exactly what she wanted to say.

   "Are you wondering why Michael Ovitz called me?" he asked.

  Jessica nodded obediently: "If I can say it, I am really curious.

   Honey, your main business is on Wall Street, right?

  How could it be related to Michael Ovitz? "

  Although three years ago, Michael Ovitz was kicked away by Disney.

   But before that, Michael Ovitz's status in the entertainment circle was really in full swing.

   is the founder, president and chairman of CAA, and the president of Disney.

  Any one of these two identities can be regarded as a first-class tycoon in Hollywood.

  He once had both identities.

   To put it bluntly, at that time Michael Ovitz was almost half the king of Hollywood.

  Three years later, Michael Ovitz is in the entertainment industry.

  Although it didn't make any more splashes.

   A lean camel is bigger than a horse.

  The prestige and reputation accumulated in the entertainment circle for more than 20 years.

   Let Michael Ovitz, even now, is still one of the prominent figures in the American entertainment industry.

   Jessica, a starlet on the 18th line, heard about her boyfriend.

   Going to a party of such a big figure in the entertainment industry, of course she will have some reactions.

   This is like Anne Hathaway at the time, when she heard that her boyfriend became a CAA shareholder.

   Both curious and excited.

  Abel thought for a while, then smiled softly and said, "I remember your agency contract, signed with Endeavor Entertainment, right?"

  Jessica nodded: "Currently, it is indeed, mainly my dad, who knows a management of Endeavor Entertainment. That's why I was signed to this company at that time."

   is a related household again.

   Those like Jessica and Anne who became famous in Hollywood when they were young.

  Except for those who are extremely lucky, there is almost no one who is not a related household.

  The Endeavor Company she mentioned is a medium-sized brokerage company in the United States.

   Compared with CAA, WME, UTA, and ICM, the four major entertainment brokerage companies, Endeavor, which was founded in 1898, is now a small player.

   But after 2005, with the advent of the streaming media and networking era.

  Seize the trend of the times and become the endeavour of the pig on the trend.

   Later, it became the number one entertainment brokerage company in the United States.

   But this is a matter for the future, and the current strength of Endeavor is indeed not as good as the Big Four.

   Jessica has always wanted to change her agency.

   It's just that she hasn't become famous yet, and the Big Four have no interest in her.

  She herself was reluctant to break the contract and paid Fenjin liquidated damages.

   It dragged like this.

   "Michael Ovitz invited me to this party, and Emmanuel will be there."

  Abel said.

   "Emanuel?" Hearing this name, Jessica's beautiful eyes widened.

   "Is that Ariel Zev Emanuel? Chairman of Endeavor Entertainment?"

   "Yes." Abel nodded and said, "And David Geffen, you should have heard of this name."

   "David Geffen, is that G from SKG?"

"correct."

  SKG is the abbreviation of DreamWorks Studios, the first independent film company that is effectively challenging Hollywood giants.

  S stands for Steven Spielberg, a director who can stabilize James Cameron in 2000 and now.

  K stands for Jeffrey Katzenberg, another big Hollywood figure, but he is famous in the field of cartoons.

  G is David Geffen, a top Hollywood producer and businessman.

   "David Geffen and Emanuel, will participate in this party initiated by Ovitz." Abel said.

   He only named two big names in Hollywood.

   Didn’t say Mr. Bloomberg to whom Michael Ovitz spoke first.

  Although Bloomberg is very rich now.

   But he has not yet become the mayor of New York, and his reputation is not very big among ordinary people.

   But in fact, strictly speaking, David Geffen, Emanuel and others can't compare with Bloomberg in terms of wealth, doubled.

   "Oh, my God." Jessica couldn't help covering her beautiful and plump lips, "A party of Hollywood tycoons?"

   There is Michael Ovitz, and David Geffen and Emanuel.

  At the Vanity Fair dinner after the Oscars, sometimes these few people can’t be gathered.

   Now that they're all here, isn't it just a Hollywood mogul party?

   "You can say that." Abel smiled.

  Jessica wants to say now that she wants to go to this party.

  But after several months of getting along, she has already known her boyfriend's character.

  The boyfriend didn't speak, and she didn't dare to speak her mind.

  She had no choice but to look at him expectantly with her beautiful eyes.

  Abel naturally understood what she was thinking.

  Because of such a banquet, no Hollywood actor can refuse.

  This is a position in the food chain, a Hollywood giant higher than those big-name directors and A-list superstars.

  Their level of existence is itself the top of Hollywood.

   Go to a party like this and pretend nothing happened.

   Spreading the word, it can also improve the status and status of actors and stars invisibly.

   Jessica, a starlet on the 18th line, it's no wonder if she doesn't feel tempted.

   "Not this time." Abel shook his head and said, "Because it's to discuss business, I have a business to discuss with them. Neither of us will bring a female companion."

  Hearing this, Jessica's eyes dimmed a bit.

   Then he asked curiously, "About business?"

   Could it be that my financial tycoon boyfriend wants to invest in the entertainment industry?

  Otherwise, how would you talk about business with these people.

   "That's right. I plan to buy CAA, and these people own part of CAA's shares." Abel was not afraid to tell her.

   Anyway, Annie knows it all.

  In fact, letting them know in advance is more likely to become an "insurance" for the relationship between the two parties.

   "CAA! Are you talking about the CAA, the innovative elite culture?"

   Jessica's voice became louder for the first time.

  Abel knew she would react this way.

  Because it was at Charlie Brown's Pizza.

  Annie's reaction was almost the same.

  Afterwards, she became even more obsessed with Abel.

   After all, although the boyfriend of the Wall Street tycoon is rich and rich, he is very nice.

   But for girls like them who want to be top stars in Hollywood.

  A Hollywood tycoon boyfriend, naturally more attractive.

  If this boyfriend is a Hollywood tycoon and a Wall Street tycoon at the same time.

   That would be even more wonderful.

   Isn’t it?

   That's what Jessica thinks now, exactly the same way Anne thought back then.

   "Exactly. Long before that, in fact.

  I am already the largest shareholder of CAA. "Abel smiled.

  The main purpose of acquiring CAA is to enter the American media industry.

  This is the ultimate goal.

   But in the process, this kind of behavior can strengthen the relationship between him and the "Jiao" hidden in the two golden houses.

   This can be regarded as a kind of benefit in a certain sense in this commercial behavior.
