The wealthy Beverly Hills is not the place where the richest people gather in Hollywood. The real rich people actually prefer to live in the cozy towns around Los Angeles and then drive to the city to work. Compared to cities, small towns where all the neighbors are rich are the places with the best living environment. This is the case in Malibu, Orange County and other places.

But Beverly Hills has a vital symbolic meaning for Hollywood, not only because the countless mansions and manors on this hill have gathered the top stars of Hollywood, but also because this is where all eyes are focused. With Beverly Hills as the center, Hollywood Boulevard, the Walk of Fame, Universal Studios, Burbank Media Center, the Screen Actors Guild, and other most core institutions in the film industry are clustered in the surrounding area.

Someone once joked that throwing a brick near Beverly Hills can hit three actors, and passing five pedestrians can meet a scout or agent. Although this is a bit exaggerated, it really reflects the prosperity and prosperity of this area. This is the reason why two of the three major Hollywood brokerage companies have their headquarters nearby.

William Morris Agency and Creative Artist Agency are both located in Beverly Hills, and there are many film, television and music companies around them. Not surprisingly, the rising star United Elite Brokerage Company chose the address here.

Located on Westwood Avenue (.blvd), a ten-minute walk from the east side of Beverly, there are many top companies in the industry, including the Los Angeles branch of EMI, as well as the famous innovative artist agency. Two blocks away.

The office on Westwood Avenue is very popular every year. Even if the rent is getting higher year by year, there are still countless companies wanting to move to this area. Everyone understands a truth. Even if you just wander around Beverly Hills, you may be hit by a pie, not to mention an entertainment company. An excellent location and an excellent appearance can often increase a lot of impression points. .

In June of this year, a three-story office building in the prime area of ​​Westwood Avenue became vacant. In less than 24 hours, it was leased out again. Many companies that wanted to enter this circle did not even have time to respond. Could it be that the opportunity slipped away from his hands again.

This new company that entered the "upper circle" has also attracted the attention of many people in the industry, and when they discovered that the new leaser was an elite brokerage firm for Endeavour, they all showed the expression of "it should be so". Although it has only been established for one year and two months, the road to the rise of Endeavour's elite brokerage company is legendary. This is Hollywood, where all miracles can happen.

In June, Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company received numerous attentions because of the joining of Michael Jackson. Prior to this, the company's office building was only set up in a dilapidated building on Santa Monica Avenue, which did not match the identity of this rising star. Now, the Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company, which has moved to Westwood Avenue, has truly entered the sight of high-level people in the circle.

In the past year, Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company was born with a high-end route, under the umbrella of Tom Hanks, Clint Eastwood, Al Pacino, Hugo Lancaster, Michael Jackson, etc. The artists let its development route go smoothly, and the high-profile new stars headed by Leonardo DiCaprio also joined one after another. Later, it also attracted the signing of first-line actors such as Adam **** and Robert De Niro. , Which makes its future development prospects immediately clear.

What’s even more commendable is that at the beginning of its establishment, the Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company with only less than 20 brokers, now the number of professional brokers has exceeded 40, and the number of employees in the company has rapidly increased to 130. People, the entire scale of development has truly become a medium-sized brokerage company, and it is equally divided with the current second-tier brokerage company's arrow figure joint elite brokerage company.

The cold wind blows in December. Even in warm Los Angeles, people can’t help but pull the collars of their jackets closer to block the raging sea breeze, but the excitement on Westwood Avenue is still unabated—not only near here There are many entertainment-related companies, and it is also an important commercial center of Los Angeles. Residential areas within five blocks of the surrounding area are also scattered everywhere, and there is a rush of people almost every day.

A black car parked on the side of the road, and then a man in a dark gray and light brown checkered suit opened the door and walked down. Standing on the side of the road, he buttoned the second button of his suit. The close-fitting tailoring and the camel-colored wool scarf on the neck reveal his professionalism and aura. It can be seen that he should be a man who usually ranks high.

Afterwards, two people in the car walked down. The man in front had white hair, a champagne suit with a white shirt, and a smoky gray windbreaker jacket in his hand. His slightly thin figure was tight at this time. Tight; the man in the back looks ordinary, but the black suit on his body can be seen as a finished suit of a luxury brand, and the tailoring of the lines can feel the exquisiteness.

The three people stood beside him for a while, and then there was another person in the car who walked out slowly. The stalwart's height is like a tall green pine, and his broad and tough shoulders reveal a coldness in the shadow of the building; a sturdy and plump body fully supports a gray-blue suit, with a navy blue shirt and a dark blue tie , The dress is simple but reveals an elegant calmness.

The last man who came out looked around at the building in front of him. A whole glass wall reflected the bright sunlight at this time, making the shadow of the building raging by the wind even colder. He couldn't help but chuckle, between his brows. The sunlight leaked out, "This building looks really short."

The first man who came out poked his lips and smiled, "Allen, this is Los Angeles, not New York or Chicago. The reinforced concrete forest does not taste like ours." He looked at the other two people, "All are ready. Okay? Let's go and win today's contract!"

The person here was Kevin Pence, the new helm of 20th Century Fox, and the two people who came out afterwards were Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin. They were not only for "Independence Day". As a screenwriter and also a producer, I made a special appearance today for negotiations.

The last man was Alan Strello, and if Hugo saw him appear here, he would be extremely surprised. He was Hugo's friend who appeared with Kevin when he was visiting the cast of "Love is the Only". But why did this friend appear on the scene of cooperation negotiations on "Independence Day"?

Hugo must be able to infer that the "love is the only" coincidence is not a real coincidence.

The four people walked into the building. This building has a total of only six floors. The first floor is a public hall. The second and third floors are divided and leased by five companies. The fourth to sixth floors are the new headquarters of Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company.

The three-story lease on Westwood Avenue is not high or low, and it is suitable for units such as Endeavour Elite Brokerage that have reached a certain scale but are not really large companies. However, in Rick's expectation, after the company expands further, it is best to lease the second and third floors as well, and the entire building will become the exclusive property of Endeavour's elite brokerage company.

In this way, although the office space is not comparable to the international innovation management company located on Constellation Avenue, it can also be comparable to William Morris and the creative artist agency.

Walked into the building, registered at the management desk on the first floor, and received the visitor's card before being able to enter the elevator. For Kevin, he personally visited the Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company, which in itself already gave them a great face, because generally speaking, such cooperation can attract the attention of the company's CEO, not meeting in a film production company. , Is to meet in a fine dining restaurant. For large film production companies, no matter how powerful the agency is, it will always be just an agency.

However, Kevin is willing to come in person today, and he has his own consideration. He needs to go to Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company for inspection. Many details are drawn from the office space and company atmosphere. These details will often determine the culmination of the future development of Endeavour's elite brokerage company, whether it can become a breakthrough in breaking the checks and balances of the three major Hollywood brokerage companies, and the degree of cooperation value for large film companies. This is also one of the important reasons why Kevin is willing to condescend to come to visit.

After entering the elevator, Allen tidied his suit a little, and asked in a low voice, "We are just meeting with the agent today, or Hugo will also come?" This sentence made Kevin glance at him.

Standing on the side, Dean replied instead of Kevin, "Hugo must show up, right? We are all given the highest standard treatment If Hugo doesn't come out, it won't make sense. And..." Dean looked at the other three people, "Isn't Hugo always very good in the circle? He is humble and gentle, so he will certainly not neglect us in terms of etiquette."

Kevin closed his gaze back, but took a slight breath, smiled and said, "Many things can't be seen on the surface." In fact, Kevin also thought that Hugo would appear, and Dean's words were not wrong. However, Kevin felt a faint sense of anxiety deep in his heart, and he could not tell the reason, it was just an intuition.

During the recent period, things have been developing in full accordance with Kevin's expected track, including the script being beaten back, rewriting the script, and arranging meetings again. These are all planned links. And Kevin also received good news. The glorious Alfonso was interested in the Tom Hanks project. Hugo personally called Tom. The agent Karl Earl also sent a confirmation here. News.

But everything went so smoothly, Kevin thought it a little strange. Kevin deeply knew that Hugo was able to achieve such brilliance in the past few years, which shows that he is not a fool. On the contrary, Hugo's wisdom is ignored by many people. Kevin will not forget that Hugo graduated from Yale University.

Hope that everything is just his own random thoughts, Kevin calmed his mind. "Ding", arrived at the destination floor, and the elevator door opened.
