Chapter 105 Rejection

Cameron led his hand to the side, and Li Te looked over. A middle-aged man in his forties turned around and raised his glass to show.

Lit politely squeezed out a smile on his face, but turned his head and immediately became gloomy because Cameron wanted to introduce him to him that the person was not someone else, but Caa President Chad Lovett.

"You know that I have nothing to talk to him, so why do you still do this?"

Cameron didn't expect Lite to refuse so thoroughly, and was also a little stunned for a moment.

"You and him should have been colleagues, right? Although you are now competitors, Mr. Orwitz has promised that Amg will not poach Caa's customers, and your relationship should not be so bad."

"This is not a question of whether the relationship is bad or not, but it is impossible for him and I to become friends at all. It would be a complete mistake to arrange for us to meet."

After Li Te explained the reason, Cameron still looked incomprehensible. He had to continue saying: "I'll tell you this, the goal of amg in the future is to replace Caa's current status, so I am destined to be an enemy!"

"No matter whether you are friends or enemies in the future, I think you should be more graceful. Chatting a few words with him won't make you lose anything. If it really doesn't work, just treat it as giving me a face."

After Cameron said that, he pulled Lit and turned around, and just as the two of them were talking, Lovet had already walked closer.

"You guys talk, I have something to do with you, so I'll lose my companion first."

As soon as Lovett arrived, Cameron immediately left on the pretext of noticing, leaving room for conversation for the two.

Lovett and Lit clinked glasses and asked with a smile: "Looking at your appearance, I don't seem to want to see me?"

Li Te curled his lips, "It's not a question of whether he wants it or not. I just didn't expect it."

"Actually, I wanted to talk to you half a year ago, but I was delayed by some things. Of course, I think it's not too late to talk now... Lite, you are a very talented young man. I know that you helped Mr. Orwitz found amg because you may have suffered some unfair treatment in CAA. But now, you have proved your ability with facts, so I am willing to invite you to return to CAA. We have left you a director position in the company. If you have other requirements, we can sit down and talk in detail. And you don't need to have any concerns on amg. We don't need you to take any customer away from amg. This will give Mr. Orwitz an explanation. What do you think?"

The conditions offered by Lovett can be said to be very generous. You should know that other agents are attracted to join Caa. One very important condition is that they must take their celebrity clients to change jobs, and Lite does not need them. In fact, the customer resources of Amg are not seen by Lovett yet. What he values ​​more is Lite's unique vision and ability in film operation.

"Mr. Lovett, thank you very much for your value on me, but you know. As a former agent, I cannot give up on the client I recruited from the company. Although I am no longer a broker, I still have to bear this responsibility. I hope you can understand."

Lit was actually refusing Lovett's invitation, but Lovett did not intend to give up.

"Then you can take them to change jobs, and I will explain to him by Mr. Orwitz."

"Mr. Lovett. Let me tell you this. I join Caa now. What you value is my ability, which makes me very grateful, but how many shares can you give me now? As far as I know, Caa's current shareholders have expanded to 14. Even if it is evenly distributed, how much can I get on my head? Can such shares allow me to freely mobilize all resources in the company? Obviously not. And if it is a job change, I will definitely bring my customers with me, but does Caa really know their value? Currently, there are 4 contracted women in Amg.

Actors, I can guarantee that at least 2-3 of them will win the Oscars and Best Actress Award in the future, but will anyone be willing to believe it? Besides, the three current actors in the company, Keanu Reeves, Adam Sandler and Vin Diesel, Keanu is transforming from a high-quality idol to a powerful movie star. Adam Sandler will be the future comedy king, and Vin Diesel will be one of the coolest action movie stars in the next 20 years. According to this estimate, it is obviously not enough to be willing to take out my shares. The question is, are you really willing to take out more?"

Lovett fell into silence, while Litt shook his head secretly in his heart.

If Lovett really had the courage to believe Lite, Lite might really consider joining Caa. Unfortunately, no matter how strong Lovett is and has foresight, due to the times, he could not foresee the future like Lite, and of course he could not agree to Lite so easily.

"When you come to caa, you still have time to prove what you said, and as long as you really do it, your shareholding in the company will definitely increase, so I still hope that you don't rush to refuse and think about it seriously."

Faced with Lovett's restraint, Lit just smiled and shook his head.

"Mr. Lovett, I think you still don't understand what I mean. Maybe you think that I just said to you just to raise the bargaining chips for negotiations with Caa, or I don't want to cooperate with Caa at all, so I deliberately put forward some conditions that you can't accept at all, but the actual situation is not the case. I no longer serve as a broker anymore, so it is actually the same for me whoever I work with. On the caa platform, I can do what I think more easily. The problem now is that you think you have seen my value very accurately, but in my opinion, you still underestimate my ability, or my ambition, which is the biggest difference between us."

Seeing that Lovett didn't mean to speak, Li Teyou continued: "In fact, our differences are more than that. Just from the perspective of work style, you and I are different from the entire caa. All agents of caa are very low-key in their work. Even in today's occasion, if you are not reminded by others, how many people can know that you are the president of the famous caa brokerage company? I know that this is a tradition that started from Mr. Orwitz. Everyone is obeying the responsibilities of the agent, and they are customer-centric, and they don't want to show more attention in front of the media. But I am different. I enjoy this feeling of being famous. If one thing is done successfully, I want everyone to know here.

With my credit, I am not worried about being famous, I am only worried about not being famous enough, and I am even more famous than my clients, so that they will be more willing to obey the life I designed and arranged for them. Nowadays, amg may not be worth mentioning in front of caa, but at amg I can decide everything, but in caa, I can only rely on raising hands to vote. Democracy is a good thing most of the time, but sometimes it may become a hindrance, especially for people like me who often like to make high-risk decisions. When it comes to caa, either my talent is wiped out by the system, or my system is turned upside down by me. No matter which one it is, I believe it is not what Mr. Lovett you want to see.”

Lovett looked at Lite, his eyes were very complicated.

"So much, you actually want to tell me that you don't plan to join Caa at all. No, no, no in the future. Don't know if I'm right?"

Li Te curled his lips, "Sorry for letting you go there for nothing today."

Lovett sighed, "Actually, it's not in vain. At least I confirmed one thing."

Lovett didn't say what it was, but Litt knew.

Since both sides cannot become friends, they can only be enemies. From this moment on, Caa will solemnly list Amg as the number one threat target.

After failing to win over, Lovett did not delay the situation and directly offered to say goodbye.

Looking at his left back, Li Te couldn't help but show a serious expression on his face.

Cameron appeared behind Lit without knowing it and patted his shoulder

"How was the talk?"

"What else has to do? The talk must be broken." Lite shrugged and then took his eyes back from Lovett who had left.

After hearing Lit say the conditions offered by Lovet, Cameron said, "It seems that caa really attaches great importance to you, and I can't understand why you don't agree to the other party with such good conditions?"

"If you don't shoot "Titanic", you can make money by shooting other movies, and you can even win Oscars, and you don't have to bear as much pressure and criticism as before, but will you give up if you ask you to reselect it?"

Cameron shook his head without thinking: "Of course not."

"Why?"

"Because that would be too unchallenging, and making this movie was my lifelong wish. If I didn't shoot it, I wouldn't feel satisfied or happy in my life."

Lit turned to look at Cameron.

"This is why I reject caa. Joining caa may help me succeed faster, but I hope to turn amg into the next caa. This is a challenging cause, but this kind of thing will make more sense."

Cameron curled his lips, "Then you might as well say directly that caa cannot satisfy your ambitions, just like ordinary movies cannot satisfy me."

Litt grabbed Cameron's shoulder and leaned against him and whispered: "It's good to know, don't say it out! Also, now I am your manager. This time the share of "Titanic" is paid, don't forget to transfer 10% of the consultation fee to my account."

Before Cameron could speak, Lit raised the wine glass in his hand.

"Come on, I wish us a happy cooperation!"
