The City of Angels is brilliantly lit at night.

Although it doesn’t have the row upon row feeling of high-rise buildings in New York.

The lights on Beverly Hills still announce the prosperity of this city.

Here is the largest film industry in the world, which produces dazzling stars every year. This is Hollywood.

Every year, countless handsome men and beautiful women flock here to seek their own opportunities.

In the United States and around the world, they are eager to become famous instantly and become big stars who are admired by others for their reservedness, nobility, or personality.

As long as they can become famous, as long as they can gain a foothold or even develop in Hollywood, a place that is so glamorous and glamorous, they don't mind doing anything!

Wait, you said they are doing it for acting and film career?

Of course, everyone says that, right?

Beverly Hills.

Mr. Michael Ovitz, CEO of Innovative Elite Culture.

Tonight, a small to medium-sized dance party is being held at his villa in Beverly Hills.

This dance party is mainly for the many Hollywood artists signed by CAA.

The VIP guests are senior executives of major Hollywood giants who have good relations with CAA.

Although today's CAA no longer has the momentum that swept Hollywood in the early 1990s.

But there is no doubt that the innovative packaged brokerage model, coupled with the reputation accumulated over the years and the number of senior partners.

CAA is still the undisputed overlord in the Hollywood industry in terms of entertainment agencies.

A cocktail party hosted by the head of the industry’s hegemony.

In Hollywood, basically all the stars who have signed contracts with CAA or have a good relationship with CAA are here.

For example, not long ago,

At the Four Seasons Hotel in downtown San Francisco, I met Charlize Theron from afar.

Charlize Theron entered the industry at the age of eighteen and is now twenty-five years old.

The brokerage company she signed with at the beginning was a small company that mainly relied on discovering new talents to gain a foothold.

There are many such companies in Hollywood, and they all dream of becoming giants like CAA.

But most of them will later be abandoned by the stars they discovered and became famous.

Charlize Theron also made such a choice. In 1996, she left her original agency and joined CAA Innovation Elite Culture Agency.

Since then, she has officially become famous and has continued to have film appointments.

Today, she is one of Hollywood's second-tier stars.

It's only one step away from the front line.

As long as it can produce a hit movie or get Oscar recognition.

Those years of accumulation will allow her to complete her progress from the second line to the first line.

There are not many opportunities like this. She is very cautious and is working hard to find opportunities.

A cocktail party for a big shot like Michael Ovitz from Return of the King.

Of course she wouldn't let it go and came dressed up.

It was just like the similar cocktail parties I had attended in the past few years.

Charlize Theron is at ease on the court, dealing with looks, greetings, receptions and covets from all sides.

However, what she values ​​most is actually the host of tonight's reception - Michael Ovitz.

When Charlize Theron joined CAA, Michael went to Disney.

When Charlize Theron gets support from CAA and establishes a foothold in Hollywood.

Michael Ovitz wanted to return to CAA, but was severely rejected.

So much so that Charlize Theron basically doesn’t know Michael Ovitz, the former Hollywood mogul.

It would be fine if Michael Ovitz never returned to CAA, or just disappeared.

But Michael Ovitz is back.

Charlize Theron is for her own benefit and a stepping stone to the front line.

She had to work out her relationship with Michael Ovitz.

After all, although caa does not produce resources, it is the best resource intermediary in the circle.

It is the best resource porter.

When actors like Charlize Theron compete for resources.

Brokerage companies like CAA can often play a great role.

Because they know the executives of Hollywood giants very well.

He can do what he wants, he can seduce with benefits, he can deceive superiors and deceive subordinates, he can deceive others.

Most Hollywood actors need this kind of ability from agencies.

This can help actors get better opportunities, better remuneration, and more opportunities.

During the reception,

Charlize Theron is always looking for opportunities.

She wanted to appear properly in front of Michael Ovitz.

Unfortunately, as soon as the reception started, Michael Ovitz kept chatting and laughing with many senior executives of Hollywood giants.

No chance of Charlize Theron contact.

When Charlize Theron gave up temporarily, chatted for a while at the reception, and reappeared.

But she suddenly discovered,

For some reason, Michael Ovitz is no longer on the court.

The organizer of the reception was nowhere to be seen.

This is rarely seen at Hollywood cocktail parties.

Generally speaking, it is the convener who initiates the reception.

Most of the time, you should appear in a location where everyone can easily find it.

Charlize Theron swept her beautiful eyes around.

The reception hall is empty.

There is no outdoor buffet area either.

In the outdoor swimming pool next to the buffet area, Michael Ovitz is also nowhere to be found.

Where have you gone?

You didn't go into the room with any Bichi, did you?

When she was thinking about it.

A gentle voice sounded behind her.

"Hey, Charlize, you look stunning tonight."

Charlize Theron turned around and saw her friend Keanu Reeves appearing behind her with a glass of red wine.

Charlize Theron had a slight smile on her face, "Ha~ Good evening. Reeves, thank you for your compliment."

A Hollywood actor who was born in a non-American country and holds dual citizenship, he has a small circle in Beverly Hills.

Charlize Theron is a dual citizen of South Africa and the United States, and Keanu Reeves is a dual citizen of Canada and the United States.

Both of them have participated in gatherings of this small circle, so they have not collaborated before.

The two of them are considered friends. When they meet at a cocktail party, they will naturally chat more.

Keanu Reeves in 2000 can be said to be in his prime.

The release and popularity of "The Matrix" last year made Keanu Reeves both famous and wealthy.

For a time, his status in Hollywood was high.

Even vaguely more powerful than two Toms.

Compared to Charlize Theron, who has more than enough second-tier talent but not enough first-tier talent, Keanu Reeves's status in the circle is higher.

However, no matter how high his status is, it cannot change the reality that Keanu Reeves is still just a famous actor.

In any case, it is not as good as Michael Ovitz, who is at the top of the food chain in the circle.
