Chapter 114 Joshua's Wish

He also took an actress from ICM to Amg. The news that Judy Moore caused was much smaller than John's departure this time.

Although the senior executives were furious, they did not make any big fuss like last time. Amg also intends to keep a low profile and does not want to publicize the matter. In addition, Jessica Alba, who changed jobs, is not a famous artist, so there is basically no report on this matter in the media.

A simple welcoming ceremony is underway in amg headquarters conference room.

John briefly introduced Judy Moore to his colleagues at the meeting. Under the leadership of Litt and Orwitz, everyone applauded.

Judy Moore stood up and said a few simple words such as "It's a honor to join Amg" and "I hope everyone will take care of you". The welcome ceremony officially ended.

Everyone returned to the conference table. Orwitz first made an arrangement for the work arrangements of various departments of the Love Week Company, and then John made some additions. Finally, when it was Lit's turn to speak, he shrugged and said that he had nothing to say today.

Orwitz announced the end of the meeting, patted Litt on the shoulder, and walked out of the conference room first.

John originally wanted to stay, but seeing that Orwitz had left, he had to leave with him.

Judy Moore fell to the end. She had just packed up her things and was about to leave. Lit, who had been sitting and not moving, called her.

"I want to talk to you about Jessica Alba."

"Of course." Judy Moore held the folder and pulled over the chair to sit down again.

"This is the script I arranged for her that role. You can transfer it to her and bring her to the company tomorrow afternoon. The director has two other male protagonists. Let's have a meeting together and get to know each other first."

Lit pushed the script in front of Judy Moore, who wanted to open it on the spot, but when he thought that he was still under Lit's nose, he resisted the impulse again.

"Okay, if nothing happens, you can leave."

After Li Te explained the matter, he drove Judy Moore out. Then he sat alone in the empty conference room, not knowing what he was thinking.

Just as Judy Moore came out, he met John who was walking over with two cups of coffee.

"The talk is over so soon? Come and try the coffee I made myself!"

Judy Moore took the coffee handed over by John and looked in the direction of the conference room behind him.

"Is he okay?"

"You're talking about Lite? He has always been like this, and you'll get used to it in the future."

The two walked and chatted with coffee. When they arrived at the door of Judy Moore's office, John noticed that in addition to the previous meeting record book, there was also an additional folder in her hand.

"This is?"

"Leit promised compensation to Jessica."

"I got it, is it the script about racing?"

"Do you know this movie?" Judy Moore was slightly stunned, and then smiled self-deprecatingly. "That's right, it seems that I don't know about this in the company now."

"You'd be wrong if you think so." John helped Judy Moore open the office door. After Judy Moore entered, he followed him in. "You were officially joining Amg today. You immediately got the script. When I joined Amg last year, I didn't know what kind of movie Charlize would receive next. Later I realized that Litt had not prepared any scripts for Charlize at all. In comparison, I think you are already very lucky."

Judy Moore looked around his office and turned around and asked, "What's going on with "I'm Crazy for Mary"?"

John shrugged, "I started preparing for that movie after I joined Amg. The director and the male lead were all talked about by Litt himself. There was also a small episode during this period, which was about Ben Stiller. He rejected Litt's invitation, otherwise the male lead of this movie would have been him instead of Adam Sandler now."

"Anyway, Charlize became famous because of that movie, and Jessica might not have such good luck." Judy Moore walked to the desk and sat down, leaned on the back of the chair and felt it.

"I think your worries are completely redundant. Do you know what everyone in the company is evaluating you now?"

“How to evaluate it?”

"They all say you are the second me, and Jessica is the second Charlize."

"What's the meaning?"

"You and I both came to switch jobs from ICM to Amg, and we brought an actress when we changed jobs. Now Charlize has become famous, so it will naturally be Jessica's turn next."

Judy Moore couldn't help laughing.

"Are you comforting me?"

"No, I'm stating a basic fact." John looked at Judy Moore with a serious expression: "Maybe you think Jessica got this role entirely because she lost the heroine of the TV series directed by Cameron, so Litt gave her this role."

Judy Moore interrupted John and asked, "Isn't it?"

"You think so because you don't know Lit at all. In Lit's eyes, the most important thing is to succeed in the movie. Everything else is just for this goal. He can let actors accommodate movie roles, but he will never let movie roles accommodate actors. Take Charlize as an example. She doesn't like to act in comedy films, but Lit insists on letting her act in "I'm crazy for Mary" because the reason is that this drama requires a beautiful heroine."

John's explanation made Judy Moore a little puzzled.

“Don’t brokers focus on the interests of clients at any time?”

"This is probably different from Amg and other agency companies, including Caa. Amg provides agency services not only individuals like actors, directors, but also a movie. If you use a movie as your client, you will probably understand why Lite did this. After saying so much, I just want to tell you that Lite must be optimistic about Jessica and thinks she is suitable for this role. Then I will hand over this script to you, and even he asked you to change jobs from ICM Amg, for this reason."

Judy Moore thought about John's words seriously and felt that what he said was indeed reasonable. If it were just to compensate Jessica, Litt could have arranged another role for her at will, and Jessica and herself had no room for bargaining except for accepting such an arrangement.

Thinking of this, Judy Moore couldn't help but look forward to tomorrow's main movie creators meeting.

But then John poured a basin of cold water on her.

"Jessica, you don't have to worry about yourself. What you need most now is to worry about yourself, because from the moment you join Amg, you are no longer Jessica's agent, or she is no longer a client who belongs alone. In the future, the company will have a team to serve her, and your contact with her will gradually decrease, and the relationship will gradually fade, just like Charlize and I are now."

Judy Moore glanced at John.

"Why do you want to tell me this?"

"Because I don't want you to make the same mistakes as me again. The company system formulated by Lit is to weaken the connection between brokers and clients, and only let clients contact the company. In this way, when the broker wants to change jobs, the client will not follow him. This is a good system for brokers. But it may not be necessary for brokers. Of course, I don't want you to change jobs again, but to say that even if you no longer become Jessica's agent in the future, you must continue to maintain a good personal relationship with her. She will become famous in the future because of this relationship, and your voice in the company will also increase. This is the lesson I have summarized from Charlize. I hope it will be helpful to you."

Judy Moore remembered John's words. After get off work, she personally sent the script to Jessica's house.

If it were before, Judy Moore would probably leave after staying for a few minutes. But this time she stayed at Jessica's house for more than three hours. Not only did she have dinner with Jessica's family, but she also analyzed a lot of things to pay attention to when acting after reading the script, and even gave her some suggestions on what clothes Jessica should wear tomorrow.

Finally, seeing that it was getting late, Judy Moore offered to say goodbye, and Jessica personally sent her to the door.

When parting, Jessica took Judy Moore's hand and expressed her doubts that she had been in her stomach before.

"Judy, I find that you are really different from before, is it because of the new company?"

"For Amg, you and I are newcomers, so we should help each other more. What do you think?"

Jessica nodded vigorously, followed Judy Moore patted her hand, and turned to walk towards the side of the road where she parked.

Jessica watched Judy Moore get into the car and then turned back to the house.

Just as Judy Moore was about to start the car, a figure suddenly rushed out of the side, scaring her.

"Joshua, why are you?"

"Miss Moore, can you delay a few minutes? I have a few words to say to you."

Judy Moore had already spent a lot of brainpower to please Jessica calmly. At this time, he really didn't want to waste energy with Jessica's younger brother, but when he thought about the good relationship he had finally established with the Jessica's family, he refused and took it back.

"Is there anything I can help?"

"I just read the script you brought to my sister. That movie is so cool. I also want to play a role in that movie, even if it's just a role that shows one or two sides!"

Joshua looked at Judy Moore with a sincere face, but his request made Judy Moore extremely embarrassed.

This is not something that Judy Moore can decide, so she instinctively wanted to refuse, but at this time, what John said to her in the office suddenly appeared in her mind today. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded.

"No problem, I will try my best to help you fight for this matter, but I don't guarantee that I will succeed!"
