America's Road to Wealth

Michael Ovitz, is that Michael Ovitz?

Abel hung up the phone,

Jessica, who had been holding back her voice just now,

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 wriggled, and she wanted to say something, but she didn't say it.

Abel knew exactly what she wanted to say.

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

Jessica nodded obediently: “If you can say that, I am indeed quite curious.

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

How does it have anything to do with Michael Ovitz?

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

But before that, Michael Ovitz's status in the entertainment industry was really at its peak.

He is also the founder, president, and chairman of CAA, and he is also the president of Disney.

Either of these two identities can be regarded as a first-class giant in Hollywood.

He once had both identities.

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

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

Although there was no more splashing.

But a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

He has accumulated prestige and reputation in the entertainment industry for more than 20 years.

Even now, Michael Ovitz remains one of the most prominent figures in the American entertainment industry.

Jessica, an eighteen-tier starlet, heard her boyfriend.

Of course she would have some reaction if she was going to attend a gathering of such a big shot in the entertainment industry.

This is like what Anne Hathaway felt when she heard that her boyfriend had become a shareholder of CAA.

Curiosity and excitement.

Abel thought for a moment, then chuckled and said, I remember your management contract was with Endeavor Entertainment, right?

Jessica nodded: It is true at the moment, mainly because my father knows a management member of Endeavor Entertainment. So he asked me to sign with this company at that time.

Another related household.

People like Jessica and Anne became famous at a young age in Hollywood.

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

The Endeavor Company she was talking about was a medium-sized brokerage company in the United States.

Compared to the current four major entertainment agencies, CAA, WME, UTA, and ICM, Endeavor, which was founded in 1898, is a small player at this time.

However, after 2005, with the advent of streaming media and the Internet era.

Seize the trend of the times and strive to become the pig on the trend.

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

But this is a matter for the future. The current strength of Endeavor is indeed much lower than that of 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 little interest in her.

She herself was reluctant to break the contract and pay Endeavor liquidated damages.

It just dragged on.

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

Abel said.

Emmanuel? Jessica's beautiful eyes widened when she heard the name.

Is that Ariel Zev Emanuel? The chairman of Endeavor Entertainment?

Yes. Abel nodded: And David Geffen, you should have heard of this name.

David Geffen, is that G in SKG?

correct.

The three letters SKG are the abbreviation of DreamWorks Studios, the first independent film company in Hollywood and the American entertainment industry that is vigorously challenging the Hollywood giants.

S stands for Steven Spielberg, a director who even in 2000 can dominate James Cameron.

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

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

David Geffen and Emanuel will attend this party initiated by Ovitz. Abel said.

He named only two big Hollywood names.

Not that Mr. Bloomberg, 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 great among ordinary people.

But in fact, strictly speaking, David Geffen, Emanuel and others can't even compare to Bloomberg in terms of wealth even if their combined wealth is doubled.

Oh, my God. Jessica couldn't help but cover her beautiful plump lips, A party for Hollywood tycoons?

There's Michael Ovitz, there's David Geffen, there's Emanuel.

At the Vanity Fair dinner after the Oscars, sometimes these people are not gathered together.

Now that they are all here, isn't it just a gathering of Hollywood tycoons?

You can say that. Abel said with a smile.

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

But a few months of getting along with him had already made her understand her boyfriend's character.

Her boyfriend didn't speak, and she didn't dare to express her thoughts.

She could only look at him expectantly with her beautiful eyes.

Abel naturally understood what she was thinking.

Because no Hollywood actor can refuse such a banquet.

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 at the top of Hollywood.

Attend such a party, even if nothing happens.

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

It would be strange not to be moved by the eighteenth-tier starlet Jessica.

Not this time. Abel shook his head and said, Because we are here to discuss business, and I have a business to discuss with them. Neither of us will bring a female companion.

Hearing this, Jessica's eyes dimmed a little.

Then he asked curiously: Business talk?

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

Otherwise, why would we discuss business with these people?

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

Anyway, Anne knew it.

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

CAA! Are you talking about that CAA, that innovative elite culture?

Jessica's voice became louder for the first time.

Abel knew she would react this way.

Because I 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 Wall Street tycoon boyfriend is rich and wealthy, he is very good.

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

A Hollywood tycoon boyfriend is 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?

This is what Jessica thinks now, exactly the same as what Anne thought at the time.

That's right. Long before that, actually.

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

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

This is the ultimate goal.

But in the process, this behavior can strengthen the relationship between him and the two Jiao hidden in the golden house.

This can also be regarded as a benefit in a certain sense in this business.
