After going upstairs, Jack began to introduce Evan one by one.

"This layer is used by CAA. Currently, CAA has developed very well, which has expanded a lot from the initial scale. Now we have 16 full-time agents, serving more than 300 actors, screenwriters, directors and other Hollywood art workers. Alas, speaking of it, the agency business is booming, and the reason you mentioned it was exactly the same as last year... I didn't expect Paramount to actually lose the lawsuit!"

"This floor is DreamWorks' office, where people work mainly in publicity, finance, legal affairs, and logistics teams. By the way, that is my office."

"The upper floor is a recording studio, editing room, and screening room. Do you want to go up and take a look?"

Evan is a shareholder of DreamWorks and CAA, but today is his first appearance in both companies.

As soon as he talked about this, Jack couldn't help but start complaining. It's okay for DreamWorks to forget it, after all, when he invited Evan to join the gang, he was reluctant. But CAA was established at Evan's request, and Jack fulfilled the agreement, but Evan himself almost forgot it.

"Does it look very decent..." Evan said: "It's not necessary to go up, go to your office and sit there."

Jack's office space is very large, and because he has no special planning and few decorations, he looks a little empty.

Evan looked at this place where there was no artistic atmosphere and sat down on the brown leather sofa casually. He couldn't help but comment: "Jack, as the company's general manager's office, isn't this place too casual? It's a waste."

"You're not the first person to say that." Jack sat down opposite Evan with a normal look: "But I can't do anything about it. We are just a small company with insufficient financial resources and have to concentrate on film production, so we can't make these scenes."

"This is not at all what a man who is hanging out in Hollywood said. As far as I know, many of them have to wear the most fitting suits, drink the most delicious red wine, and smoke the best cigars, even a second before bankruptcy."

Jack shrugged and spread his hands, "There are always exceptions in everything, I happen to be one of them."

Evan smiled and said, "I like people who can surpass the norm."

The next second, Evan suddenly changed the topic and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this."

"Jack, now you can tell me what it is for calling me over?"

Jack nodded, "Since you can't wait, then okay..."

"Please come here, there are two main things."

"The first thing is that it's almost the end of the year. As the general manager, I want to introduce the company's operating conditions to you..."

Evan frowned when he heard this and interrupted: "You can just summarize the report and give it to Carl. There is no need to talk about it in person."

Jack said: "Uh, I think you'd better listen, otherwise I always think you, as a shareholder, are too incompetent..."

Evan thought about it and said, since he had come, just listen, "It's OK, you try to be simpler."

"Are you losing too much and you need to inject capital? To be honest, if it is for this purpose, you don't have to make such trouble."

"No, no!" Jack shook his head and said Evan was thinking a little bit: "The company did not lose money, but instead returned some money."

"Forget it, I'll start reporting."

"First of all, the studios. DreamWorks just started to make action this year. It only produced two movies, one released in July and seven released in November. Neither of these two movies were big productions, with an average production cost of around 200,000 US dollars. But we were lucky, and they attracted a lot of audiences to the cinema. Among them, there may be a major Hollywood studio that was involved in the Paramount case and the "blacklist" storm, which led to a decline in production, which made us get a bargain. In any case, these two projects were not wasted because they were the company's trial work, but also made a lot of money."

Speaking of this achievement, Jack couldn't help but curl up his lips, quite contented.

Evan interrupted and asked at the right time: "Seeing that you are so proud, I'm curious, how much did they earn for the company?"

Jack replied: "Well, after deducting taxes and costs, the net profit is about $100,000."

Evan was silent for a moment and said, "Oh!"

$100,000 is indeed a lot of money for ordinary people, but it is nothing to Evan's eyes

It’s not as profitable as Magic Seven Company in a month!

Jack was not surprised at all about Evan's reaction: "Evan, don't think it's too little. For a new studio, it's worth celebrating to be able to make a profit without losing money."

Evan nodded, "I understand."

Jack then talked about another company: "Although I was not in charge of CAA's affairs, I still understand the situation, so I also said it."

"I just said that in the turbulent moment of Hollywood, CAA is smooth sailing. In addition to the brokerage business, according to the ideas you provide, CAA has dominated multiple projects, including one TV program and two radio programs. This model is very successful. It not only sells its signed artists, but also successfully drives all parties and injects new vitality into Hollywood."

"As far as I know, there are already colleagues who are imitating CAA's practice..."

"This is normal," Evan asked. "Do you have prepared corresponding solutions?"

Jack was stunned: "This is not the case, and our model cannot apply for a patent, otherwise they can be sued for infringement."

Evan said: "This is a good thing. At present, CAA is the best to adapt to changes in the world. As long as you continue to launch excellent projects, provide opportunities for more customers, and then attract more artists to sign in to the company. After reaching a certain scale, CAA will be invincible."

When Jack was stunned when he heard Evan telling the development plan of CAA in an understatement, he was stunned again, and then gave Evan a thumbs up, "This is OK, I have to remember to tell Jay."

Jay in Jack's mouth is the de facto general manager of CAA, and Jack basically doesn't care about it.

"It's up to you," Evan said: "After saying so much, can you say it's serious?"

"Huh?" Jack found that Evan stared at him with a burning look, as if he had already seen through the so-called report as a cover.

Evan smiled and said, "Don't you tell me? I've heard of the report, if it's okay, I'm leaving."

Seeing this, Jack reached out to stop Evan and smiled bitterly, "Okay, I'll say."

"Well, this is the case. DreamWorks currently has a project in production, but I want to start another one and cooperate with CAA, otherwise the manpower will be idle."

"Now, we don't lack money or people, we just need..."

Evan said first: "The script is missing?"

Jack nodded.

Evan asked: "You're trying to hit the script in my hand?"

Jack nodded again.

Evan asked again: "Do you think I'll agree?"

Jack smiled and said nothing.

Evan said decisively: "I think beautifully. No way!"
