"That is definitely a cross-age work, but there must be a prerequisite for this work to be well filmed, that is, sufficient capital investment." Li Te pressed his hands on the table, leaning forward slightly, and a very serious expression on his face. "I swear, if you have read that script and some of the two directors' opinions on this movie, you will definitely agree with me."

"How much does it cost?" Orwitz asked very directly.

"It's better to have $100 million." Lite replied firmly.

"What?" Orwitz almost thought he had heard it wrong. "The $100 million investment was made in two rookie directors who had only made a movie, and it was a subject with uncertain future. Do you think those senior executives of film companies are idiots?"

"No, you were wrong!" Litt shook his head. Among the people close to Orwitz, he was the only one who dared to contradict Orwitz in person.

"First of all, the Wachowski brothers are not rookie directors. Although their first work was a low-cost thriller, they achieved good sales results in the videotape market; secondly, all movies have uncertain futures before they are released, and no one dares to say that the movies they make are 100% profitable, and there is an unbreakable truth in all investment fields, that is, the greater the risk, the greater the profit."

Orwitz slowly calmed down at this time. He felt that Liter's words did make some sense, but $100 million is still too much. So far, few movies in Hollywood have invested more than this number.

Of course, Lite didn't really want $100 million, because he knew it was impossible. There were two reasons for offering this price: one was to leave the impression that this was a big-produced film in Orwitz's mind from the beginning; the other was a strategy of persuading people, first put forward a condition that the other party could obviously not accept, and then make a regression, so that it can achieve its own goals more easily.

"A minimum of $80 million, if it's below this number, I really can't guarantee that this movie will have the effect the director wants the audience to see."

Litt knew that Orwitz was not that easy to fool, so he made a very realistic expression of embarrassment on his face. Orwitz stared at him for a long time but found no flaws, so he had to give up.

"Okay, let's put the issue of investment aside for the time being. If you bring those two directors together tomorrow, I have to confirm that their script is really as good as you said, and then we will discuss other issues."

After all, Jiang is so hot. Even though Orwitz was moved by Li Te, he did not make a decision immediately.

Li Te knew that this was the best result he could win under the current circumstances, so he didn't say anything else and kept looking down and continued to solve the food on his plate.

Orwitz also slowly tasted the red wine in his hand, and time passed by minute by minute.

Finally, Litt ate all the food on the plate, then picked up the napkin and wiped his mouth, and Orwitz also put down the goblet in his hand at the same time.

"Have you eaten?"

Li Te was about to answer yes, but he didn't expect that he burped at this time, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

Orwitz didn't care, but instead laughed.

"Do you need something more?"

Litt shook his head because he had seen that Orwitz should have more important words to say to him next.

"Okay, let's talk about other things, for example, I have always had a question. If AMG has grown to the current scale of CAA in your hands, and I'm talking about joining, then what will you do next?"

Orwitz's question mainly comes from a question he has been seriously reflecting on after he was kicked off from the position of Disney president: was it right or wrong for him to choose to leave CAA.

"Of course, it's going further on the basis of CAA and doing something they haven't done."

Lite's answer was not beyond Orwitz's expectations, and he also developed a strong interest in it. He wanted to know what would do if Lite faced the same situation as he did at that time.

“For example?”

"Authentic, CAA is indeed a little too late to find a rival in Hollywood, but at least in my opinion, CAA can go further in three aspects. First of all, of course, it is to strive for more outstanding artists to join and expand its original market share; secondly, while maintaining the advantages of film and television performing agents, it is accelerated to enter new markets such as music, literature, opera, games, and sports, so as to extend CAA's resource chain; finally, it is to build a global layout, open branches overseas, and provide artists with multinational brokerage agency services."

Li Te's words were summarized based on the development history of later CAA. After hearing this, Orwitz nodded repeatedly and could not find any problems. However, these were just allowing CAA to consolidate and expand its existing advantages. What Orwitz was looking forward to was the kind of measures that could bring disruptive changes to the entire industry, just like when he implemented a bundled sales strategy, which completely changed the dominance between stars and agents.

If you had read Orwitz's biography before traveling through time, Li Te really couldn't answer this question. There is indeed a more advanced model above CAA's existing model - providing one-stop purchase services from movie stars to investors.

Simply put, a screenwriter or director has a good idea. As long as they hand over the idea to the agency, they don’t have to worry about all the remaining things. The agency will prepare everything from actors to producers, investors to publishers, just like an assembly line. Put an idea on the other end, and the other end is a movie that is made.

Originally, in Hollywood, it usually takes two to three years of preparation time for a movie from the idea to the official start of filming, but if there is really an agency that can provide everyone with this "one-stop purchase" service, then the time will be greatly shortened.

For an agency, doing this is equivalent to controlling the big hand that allocates Hollywood resources, from artists to film companies, they all become a chess piece in their hands.

This idea was designed by Orwitz, and the first step to implementing the plan was to have a large number of outstanding artists and agents. Unfortunately, he failed to poach from CAA, and this grand plan also aborted.

Li Te is not sure whether the current CAA executives have had similar ideas, but until the year he traveled through time, no brokerage company in the world could do this. From this we can see that it is not easy to operate a brokerage company to this level.

Whether Orwitz has already had such a concept is not serious about whether Liter did not think about it seriously. He just roughly described the idea according to some information provided in his memory.

But when these words fell into Orwitz's ears, they were undoubtedly a thunder.

Before, he had just vaguely thoughts about this in his mind. Now after listening to Li Te's words, he felt that his whole thoughts suddenly became clear. Although he did not express this excitement directly, his eyes when he looked at Li Te again had completely changed.

If he had only regarded Li Te's words as a joke before, then now he really felt that this goal could be achieved at Li Te's hands, of course, if this kid is lucky enough.
