After drinking and eating, Zhou Zhen also asked the inside story he wanted to know, and sent the guests away.

Seeing the reporter at the door, Zhou Zhen wanted to hide again, but was pulled by Theron and directly faced the reporters' camera.

When Stallone and Battista left, Theron said: "ZZ, my manager is a good project. She played an important role in shaping my image and turned me around in Hollywood at my age.

Regarding your future plan, I will ask her to make a plan based on your situation, as my support for you. "

Zhou Zhen did not refuse her kindness. He had a black eye on Hollywood and American boxing. He doesn't understand the rules here. An acquaintance leads the way, so he can avoid many detours.

So in front of the reporter, he gently hugged Theron and said: "I will not refuse your kindness, because this is really what I lack now."

She smiled and patted Zhou Zhen's waist. "So do I need to introduce you to a brokerage company, a reliable broker?"

"Not for the time being, I need to plan the development of boxing first. There are already three film contracts, which will be enough for me to toss for a while."

Stallone and Theron got in the car and left, and most of the reporters also dispersed.

On this street, most of them are Hollywood practitioners, and there are so many small stars, Zhou Zhen is currently not ranked.

I found that this was normal social interaction, and reporters had no material to write, so they were naturally disappointed.

If Theron stays overnight tonight, I am afraid he will attract countless paparazzi.

Back in the house, his mother was posting photos on WeChat Moments. Zhou Zhen took out his mobile phone and saw many aunt-level messages, and he was envious.

His dad was jealous, saying that she was too affectionate with Stallone.

Zhou Zhen replied below: Dad, don't worry. Stallone's face turned blue when he saw Mom kick the thick wooden stake.

His dad groaned again: That is, the tigress is the only one who lives in Wu Songjiang.

His mother said again: Tomorrow I will see if the washboard in the United States works well, and take one back.

The other aunts envied them for paying two dog food, but Zhou Zhen was a little bit supportive.

Putting down the phone, he went back to the house, turned on the computer, and started searching for the boxing agent's information.

Compared with the narrowness of the fighting ring, the boxing ring is really a mixture of dragons and snakes, and there are all kinds of people.

Gang gangsters, casino tycoons, retired boxers, workplace elites, etc., a variety of elite talents, together form this complex circle.

Seeing so many famous agents, Zhou Zhen didn't know what to choose, but strength was a must.

After watching for a long time without thinking, Zhou Zhen saw two unread emails in his mailbox and opened them.

One is a promotional plan for January from Xiaoliang Studio, and the other is a new script from Escape The Golden Cicada 3.

The storyline of "Escape from the Shell 3" is actually not complicated. The daughter of a Hong Kong tycoon disappeared in the United States. Zhou Zhen played a master appointed by the tycoon and came to the United States to rescue people from Hong Kong.

Stallone and Battista are still old identities, and they are also the helpers that tycoons find in the United States.

From the beginning, the three people were dissatisfied with each other, and finally resolved their conflicts, and went to the prison known as the Devil Station to save lives.

The plot is much better than the previous one, and the logic is more reasonable.

Zhou Zhen's role is still to be cool and show off.

He is satisfied with his role, but doesn't know, because of him, the history of this movie has changed.

Originally, this movie was also a super bad movie, not counting Stallone and Battista's pay, the cost was only three million, and the filming was completed in 17 days.

But because Zhou Zhen paid one million dollars in remuneration this time, the producers, including Stallone, paid more attention to the script and shooting of this film.

Today, the production cost of this movie has been raised to 10 million U.S. dollars, and it has been adjusted from the original R level to PG-13 level.

Zhou Zhen, the supporting role, was regarded by Lionsgate as the key to entering the Chinese market because of his outstanding appearance and sturdy skill.

His role has been increased a lot, although it is not comparable to the second Xiaoliang brother's role, but it can be similar to Stallone.

Of course, this was because Stallone was a little bit untouchable.

After all, he is almost 72 years old.

It is worth mentioning that the filming location of this film is the prison in "Shawshank Redemption".

Lionsgate is not an art film company. Stallone is just to make money and prepare a dowry for his three beautiful daughters, so this popcorn movie is to be a good-looking movie.

Because of the changes to the script, although the preparatory work has now been completed, the shooting still has to wait until mid-January to start shooting.

Zhou Zhen spent the whole night reading the script first, knowing that there is no difficulty in this role.

His name in the movie is still ZZ, and this nickname is the same as Zhou Zhen's label.

The next day, Zhou Zhen went to the airport to take him back to his mother. Zhou Tai went back with him this time and waited until mid-January.

Shooting starts in mid-January, and this year's Spring Festival will be celebrated in the United States.

But his father, his mother, and Uncle Quan and Uncle Ming will also come to Los Angeles for the Spring Festival.

Returning from the airport, Zhou Zhen drove, Meng Lei sat in the co-pilot seat, and began to report to Zhou Zhen the list of ten agents she had compiled based on the information she had searched on the Internet.

After listening patiently, Zhou Zhen said to her: "I will meet with the manager of Theron later, and show her the information later. Boxing agents are very important, and you must be cautious in this regard."

"Why don't you directly sign Theron's company, MME is very good, and Avery Emanuel is one of Hollywood's best agents."

"Do you think I signed MME, Emanuel will take me personally? Besides, I have already finalized the participating films for this year and next year, and he might not be able to see my profit."

"But, in the US, you still need a brokerage company."

"No hurry, I need to settle now, and I need fame even more."

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Zhen welcomed Millie, the manager of Theron.

She is just fifty years old this year, she has been in Hollywood for decades, and she knows the business very well.

Managers are not brokers and will not expand their careers for employers, but make unified plans for the employer's image management and asset management.

Before coming, she had already learned about Zhou Zhen's video on the Internet, and had a general understanding of Zhou Zhen's image and strength.

But these are far from enough, because he needs to understand Zhou Zhen's character, set his image according to Zhou Zhen's requirements, and plan his future development.

Therefore, she had a conversation with Zhou Zhen for more than an hour, and she had a detailed understanding of Zhou Zhen's personality traits, various hobbies, including plans for the future.

Before leaving, she said to Zhou Zhen: “According to my suggestion, you should seize the current media influence and sign an acting agency first. In terms of team management, I can contribute some strength at present, but in my career. In terms of planning, I can’t intervene.”

It is recommended that he sign a brokerage company. Zhou Zhen asked: "Do you have any suggestions?"

"Since your main goal is not the showbiz, but the boxing ring, I personally recommend that you sign with CAA. They have a greater influence in the sports circle, and even ordinary boxing agents should give them a bit of face."

Zhou Zhen knows that this is the law of balance. If he does not find a strong backstage and negotiates with a boxing agent, he will often suffer a loss.

After Millie left, Zhou Zhen looked at the three boxing agents she had delineated, and decided to follow her persuasion, first find an acting agency, and then contact these three people.

CAA's headquarters is not far from Zhou Zhen's house, located in the Death Star Building in Century City.

Zhou Zhen called the other party and talked about his demands. The next day, the development department of CAA sent an agent named Rutgers and three assistants.

It is worth mentioning that one of the assistants is still from China, from Jinmen, went to university in the United States, and has been working in CAA for eight years.

Although Zhou Zhen is not well-known, his works are not currently on the market, but he is also a news hot spot, and he has a lot of potential to be tapped.

In addition, China’s box office has risen staggeringly. In the second half of 2017, it has approached the North American market.

The former Huaxia actors were not taken seriously, and now they are a bit more valuable than before.

CAA obviously has made more preparations, knowing that Zhou Zhen has too many opportunities in Hollywood and has the strength to defeat Batista, which belongs to the scarce resources of Hollywood now.

Although his Chinese identity may not have the potential to be the top brand in Hollywood, he still has a place for reasonable development.

Rutgers is of Filipino descent and does not have the domineering side of whites. One of the assistants he brought was responsible for sports competitions and was very familiar with the boxing circle.

American performing arts agencies have restrictions, and the rake cannot exceed 10%.

However, there is a big difference between the two sides on the sports competition rake.

CAA wants to take Zhou Zhen's 5% commission, but Zhou Zhen is unwilling to let them make the money.

Because he is looking for a boxing promoter, this is actually in competition with CAA.

A big company like CAA just doesn't want to change the boxing circle. If they have disputes with the boxing agent he finds because of their interests in the future, it will be very troublesome.

Rutgers persuaded him: "Although CAA does not have extensive experience in boxing, it has advantages that ordinary agents cannot match in terms of agency and image building of various sports brands."

Zhou Zhen retorted: "Then I can sign the brand endorsements and the boxing athletics brokerage contracts separately. Anyway, boxers, except for top-notch ones, don't have many endorsements. This can be negotiated separately when I look for an agent. ."

Boxing agents generally have to draw 30%, and only after becoming a top boxing champion can they get a little bit lower.

Because boxing agents are also called promoters, they are responsible for organizing matches, conducting publicity, and inviting investment and bidding, and they pay much more than ordinary agents.

The acting agency contract was signed three days later, but the sports agency contract and advertising agency contract have not been signed for the time being.

In the terms, Zhou Zhen insisted that he have the final decision.

CAA does not pay much attention to Zhou Zhen at present, they just see Zhou Zhen's kung fu scarcity, so they do not insist on leading Zhou Zhen's acting career.
