Comeback 617 Game of Thrones "style="width:450px

Marven and Josephson can be defined in a simple word: businessman. Marven is not an insider in the brokerage industry, he is just a businessman, he doesn't know anything about the brokerage industry, but when he saw that William Morris Brokerage Company made money very easily, he planned to enter the brokerage industry and make a profit. So, in 1975, Marvin put the Innovation Management Association (Creative. ma。 associates) and internationally renowned brokerage firms (the. iional。 famous。 agency) and the new company is now an international innovation management company. At the beginning of its establishment, International Innovation Management was only a subsidiary of the listed company Josephson International, and it was obvious that Marven only regarded it as another money-making business, and did not really want to make a career in the brokerage industry.

Therefore, after its establishment, most of the energy of the new company was consumed in internal personnel disputes, but the innovative artist agency founded in the same year had more vigorous combat effectiveness and vitality, and soon rose strongly under the leadership of Michael Ovitz and developed into the top deposit. Comparatively speaking, international innovation management companies with strong economic backgrounds have not been able to achieve the desired results.

That changed in 1980, when Rick Rosen, a graduate of the University of California, Berkeley, and several other partners joined forces to take over the management of the company, focusing on the brokerage business itself, and the company got back on the right track, and in 1986 it took a heavy turn for the other time, with the head of William Morris Brokerage, Stan Carmen. Karman) died, and suddenly fell into a leaderless situation. Both international innovation management companies and innovative artist agencies have taken the opportunity to grab a lot of stars, and Shun Lì has become one of Hollywood's top players.

Subsequently, Marvin privatized the company, and he, together with Rick Rosen, Lang Meyer and other senior managers, bought 60 percent of the shares for $70 million, allowing the International Innovation Management Company to break away from the control of Josephson International and become an independent brokerage company with a common partnership system in the industry.

Immediately afterwards, Marvin realized that he was not a good agent, and he preferred to sit behind the scenes and grasp the direction of the entire economic lifeline, so he scattered some of his shares, added a few partners, and then completely retired from the background in 1990.

After entering the nineties, the international innovation management company and William Morris Agency, innovative artist agency are listed as the top three brokerage companies in Hollywood, and now they can easily create a profit of more than 100 million yuan every year, especially with the increase in the cost of films, the income of the brokerage company is also increasing, and in addition to the film, the profits in the fields of music, publishing, television, and art are also very considerable, and the brokerage industry is indeed thriving.

So, at last year's year-end luncheon, Marven came out again, he decided to get involved in the management of the company again, he also wants to become a top player in Hollywood, interests are still the core goal he chases, and the desire for power is also an important factor, which has triggered the internal power struggle of the international innovation management company in the past year, which reminds people of the chaos when the company was first established.

For Marven, a businessman, profit is the eternal pursuit, power is a necessary means, if he wants to regain the management of the company, then first he must collect more shares, so that he has enough voice among the partners; At the same time, he must also have more big-name artists, who can generate a steady stream of profits for him, and also give him enough power to regain control of the company.

Partners such as Lang and Rick naturally became Marven's opponents, they had to stand in line, choose to cooperate with Marven, or choose to compete with Marven - most of the partners came to this position after a lot of hardships, no one was willing to choose the former, the desire for interests and power, Marven has, these partners also have, so almost no one is willing to surrender. As a result, Marven had to save the country, and a backbone with a certain strength like Joseph became the object of competition for the company.

In this context, the entire international innovation management company is indeed in the limelight, and there are William Morris agency and innovative artist agency companies eyeing the tiger, internal and external troubles, which has put the international innovation management company into an embarrassing situation for a while. However, at this time, the international innovation management company is no longer the same as the early stage of the business, although the internal struggle for power and profit is becoming more and more urgent, but each broker is very powerful, and the other internal and external poaching work is not so light to complete, and the economic hard power of the entire company, the soft power of the network has not been damaged, so the overall situation is not as bad as imagined.

For any agency, the loss of big-name artists is the real fatality, a top big-name can save a dying agency, and similarly, the departure of a group of top big-name names can also make a top agency go out of business. Therefore, the internal struggle for power and profit is not a fatal existence, and artists are always the core bargaining chips in this power game.

Lang showed up, Rick showed up, and now Marvin showed up too.

"Hey, dear Hugo, it's finally waiting for you, the most popular actor in the company this year." Marven greeted him like an old friend, a shrewd businessman and a top tycoon, who knew how to grasp the scale, and at the same time knew how to achieve his goals.

Hugo is not only the most popular actor in the international innovation management company this year, he is also the most popular actor in the whole of North America this year, and his personal cumulative box office this year is proud at the end of the year, which can be called a standout. Therefore, Marven's greeting just now contains a lot of meanings, and it also emphasizes the "company", obviously saying that he is greeting the whole company on behalf of the whole company.

This is the first official meeting between Hugo and Marven, at the luncheon at the end of last year, Hugo only met with Marven, but this year Marven greeted him as if he was an old friend for many years, which made Hugo clearly know that in this Game of Thrones, he is also an important battle, and he is not sure whether he will definitely win or lose in the end, but he knows that no one will want to miss this battle. So, whether Hugo wants it or not, he's already in this game.

"Marven, dear Marven, you flattered me, do you mean that today's lunch sponsorship has not been found?" Hugo said enthusiastically with a gentle smile, but there was some politeness and detachment in his words, and he dissolved Marven's attitude lightly.

Marven didn't seem to hear the deep meaning of Hugo's words, but still said with a smile, "If you want, that's naturally great, but you can look forward to the lottery, maybe there will be surprises." Marven is sixty-three years old, and he stands beside Hugo as if he were a kind elder, and he has no other intentions, but he is so friendly that Hugo cannot refuse, so that it will be very difficult for others to get close to Hugo.

Hugo was quite surprised, in his impression, there are so many big names at today's luncheon, he shouldn't be in the limelight, could it be that other big names have already completed the selection of positions? This is unlikely to be true.

In fact, Hugo still underestimated himself, maybe in terms of overall qualifications and achievements, Hugo is really not enough to see, but in 1993, Hugo was definitely a well-deserved national focus, not only with movies and albums, but also the hottest topic at the end of the year. Therefore, it is expected that Marven and others will attach such a high level of attention to Hugo.

However, Hugo did not accept Marven's good intentions, in this passive power game, Hugo does not intend to become a pawn, even if he wants to join the game, he must become one of the chess players, he intends to take the initiative in his own hands. So, Hugo looked at Marven who was standing beside him, holding his shoulder, looked around with a smile, and then said, "Whew, it's really a lively day, but I haven't seen my agent until now, which is not a good sign." I guess I should go and join Joe first. ”

At this time, Samora was standing behind Hugo, in front of the elevator, although he was not very old, but his understanding of human affairs and sophistication was also very mature, which was also one of his characteristics, so he could clearly feel that Lang, Rick, Marvin and others were paying attention to Hugo's appearance, as if they were hyenas staring at their prey, ready to attack at any time.

But Hugo didn't develop in the direction they expected at this time, and mentioned Joseph, who didn't appear at the scene at all, which suddenly broke the balance, everyone on the scene was thoughtful, it is estimated that Lang should be a little gloating, while Rick was caught in his own thoughts, and Marven paused, and the smile was still on his lips. For a moment, the air seemed to freeze, and the whole tense atmosphere rushed over in an instant.

Samora felt like his forehead was sweating less than a step behind, and it was hard for him to imagine how Hugo could have coped with standing next to Marvin.

At this moment, Marven nodded with a smile, "Of course, of course, you should go and find Joe." His smile was still impeccable, and the love in his eyes was hidden behind the smile, and no trace of it was revealed.

Hugo knew that he had made the right bet, on the one hand, because he now had the upper hand, and these agents were eager to pull themselves into the account, so they would definitely not be too strict, even if Lang smiled at him, not to mention the veteran and cunning Marven; On the one hand, it is because Marven is smart enough, if Hugo is facing Lang now, it is estimated that he will have to worry about Lang turning his face on the spot, but Marven's words, Marven can obviously control the situation.

Moreover, taking a step back, even if Hugo's strategy makes Marven lose interest in him, this will have no effect on Hugo, he will not look forward to working under Marven, so Hugo has no loss what, he is invincible.

However, Marven was obviously not a fuel-efficient lamp, he took two glasses of champagne from the tray of the waiter next to him, and handed one to Hugo, "At least you should drink a glass of celebration wine first, and then we'll talk later." ”

"Thanks, but I guess I'd better eat a bite to eat before I have a drink." Hugo smiled and pushed.

But this time Marven didn't buy it, he still smiled and said, "I insist." ”
