Chapter 2 CAA and Chainsaw Project Proposal

Two days later, Steve Kevin finally stepped out of the school with his project proposal.

 It is different from the education in China.

 American education is extremely loose.

 Contrary to what China learns in junior high school or even high school, the United States does not start learning until college.

 Of course, Kevin knew that all of this was an illusion

 To confuse the people at the bottom.

 Those middle-class people, on the surface, support loose education, but secretly take cram courses and the like at all.

 The purpose is naturally very simple, to exclude most of the competitors for their children.

 From this point of view, those who can be admitted to the University of Southern California usually come from families that are not too bad.

 And there is only one reason for orphans like Kevin to be able to enter the school.

 That's his grade.

 The logic behind it is actually very easy to understand. Geniuses like Kevin who were born as civilians are the face of the schools.

 A portion is also admitted each year.

 And those middle class people are the foundation of the school.

 After taking out a penny from his pocket and stuffing it into the bus, Kevin quietly came to a few kilometers away, under a building.

 This is an innovative artist management company, which may be unfamiliar to many people.

 But its other name can be described as famous.

 CAA, the world's number one brokerage firm.

 The big names they have served include Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts, Nicole Kidman and other movie superstars, as well as Madonna, Beyoncé Knowles, Justin, and other music superstars.

 Kevin came here to find his own agent.

 That's right, his body has already signed with an agent of CAA very early.

Step into the building of CAA.

 "Hello, do you have an appointment?"

 The very beautiful girl at the front desk asked kindly.

 Kevin nodded:

 "I have an appointment with my agent, Dawson…"

 Kevin glanced at his watch and continued.

 "Just at 10 o'clock."

 The beauty at the front desk checked the items in the registration office, and then said:

 "Room 0306 on the third floor, your manager is waiting for you."

 Speaking of which, the beauty at the front desk seemed to want to say something, There is a little blush on the face.

 "Thank you."

 Kevin ignored her expression, and couldn't wait to walk towards the elevator on the third floor. The biggest task of this trip was to convince his manager.

 Since 1980, CAA has grown year by year, and now it has become a behemoth with an annual income of over 100 million US dollars.

 What CAA needs most is a talented director like him.

 All this is caused by the special mode of CAA.

 CAA is obsessed with a model called project packaging, and this model is simply a cooperation method centered on the director.

 As the director of CAA, after the director proposes a film project, CAA seeks cooperation from major film companies. Due to the scale of CAA, they can often use this to tie in actors, editors, lighting, etc. to the project. Series of logistical assistance.

 Under such a model, CAA can make good use of every resource of its own to the greatest extent.

 Of course, for directors, this is actually a good thing. They only need to create a good movie with their hearts, and CAA can help them solve these chores.

 The only unacceptable ones might be the major film companies, but since CAA already has a lot of resources, as long as their directors have a successful experience, they often have no shortage of investment.

 Therefore, CAA has become a strong party instead.

"Kevin!"

 As soon as he entered the room, Dawson, the agent, greeted him with a smile.

 As a talented director in Southern California, Kevin, no one dared to underestimate him before his real failure, that is, he made a movie and the movie failed at the box office.

 Although the chances of success are not very high, there is a chance after all.

 "Dawson."

 Kevin sat across from Dawson with a smile. After sitting down, he continued,

 "I'm here today because of my movie project.

 "Pass the book over.

 Dawson nodded and took the project proposal.

 In fact, the reason he managed to sign with Kevin, known as the genius director, was because he had promised Kevin.

 As long as Kevin can provide a real and effective film proposal, he will use all his resources to promote the plan.

 As a CAA agent at the bottom, he also needs such an opportunity to climb up.

 Of course, if Kevin fails, the consequences are equally serious for him.

 However, after staying at the bottom of CAA for several years, he is no longer satisfied with his current status, but suffers from the lack of high-end customers in his hands.

 Therefore, he tried his best and finally signed with Kevin.

 As long as Kevin can get up, he can speak out and use CAA's packaging plan to recommend some potential characters to the crew system.

 Of course, the premise must be to sign a contract with CAA.

 A high-end director client has the potential to promote him to the position of CAA's five major partners.

 For this position, he is willing to give it a try.

 Of course, all of this must be feasible for his plan.

 With consideration for this project proposal, Dawson looked carefully.

"Saw?"

 Opening the plan, the script started.

 With a deliberate mood, Dawson looked carefully.

 Regardless of the story, the standard of the script is completely in accordance with the writing style of Hollywood standards.

 Although this point is very simple, in fact, many people who become screenwriters for the first time cannot do this.

 From this point of view, Kevin at least paid enough attention to this project, not just fooling others.

 The format was fine, and Kevin naturally started looking at the content.

 The script is not too long, it's just a few sheets, and the serious Kevin read it quickly.

 After reading it, he fell into deep thought.

 For a successful movie, there must always be a few characters that are firmly remembered.

 As long as the characters in the movie can be vividly engraved in the heart after a few years or even ten years after watching the movie, then this movie can be called a classic.

 And in this script, Dawson undoubtedly saw the potential.

 In the script, the murderer 'Jigsaw' who controls everything does not kill people for no reason, but with a sense of whether people value their own lives, he specially selects some people who he thinks are guilty or do not value the value of life, and Design various levels for them.

 All of his levels leave a way for the test subjects to escape if they pay a certain price.

 Many survivors corrected their attitude towards life because of this, and some were even grateful to him, while those who failed the test were cut off a piece of jigsaw puzzle-shaped skin by John as a symbol.
