America is in control

Chapter 173 William Morris’ beautiful agent and the bathroom fight (4k)

"Bob Arum, the CEO of Top Promotions, is responsible for my more important business affairs negotiations. I can give you his phone number."

Liu Jiang directly moved out the giant Buddha of Bob. The underlying meaning was obvious. There was no need to talk about the three melons and two dates.

His answer shocked Jerry Bruckheimer and others, and the two producers looked at each other again.

"John, I'm afraid this is inappropriate. Bob Arum should be your boxing manager!"

"He's accomplished a lot as a boxing manager, but he doesn't necessarily understand the rules of the entertainment industry."

"In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, I suggest you find an agent who specializes in entertainment affairs, even on a temporary basis."

"We very much hope that you can play the role of Lieutenant Colonel Anderson, and we will show the greatest sincerity in terms of remuneration!"

Jerry Bruckheimer understood the meaning of General Liu's words. It turned out that the man in front of him was a master who would not let go of the rabbit when he saw it.

He knew that it was basically impossible to get the other party to nod without paying some price.

As long as Liu doesn't speak loudly, Bruckheimer is still willing to try this unexpected idea.

A boxing star appears in a Hollywood blockbuster for the first time. How much publicity expenses can be saved just by this gimmick!
Bruckheimer's abacus was very good, and General Liu was no less generous.

He was overjoyed when he heard that the other party was willing to show utmost sincerity in terms of salary.

Liu Jiang went to work as an intern on the crew to gain experience as a producer, with a learning mentality.

But now it's good, he can actually take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune, how can this make him unhappy!
In addition, "The Island" is also a global hit, and Liu will be able to play a positive role in it, so he will not suffer any loss.

"Mr. Bruckheimer, I will find a suitable agent as soon as possible and have him contact you."

With a satisfied smile on his face, Liu Jiang smiled and agreed to the other party's conditions.

"John, hurry up, the crew can't stay here for too long!"

Jerry Bruckheimer nodded, and Don Simpson added another reminder.

Seeing that the two parties had reached an agreement, Michael Bay immediately discussed the next shooting plan with the two producers.

The shower room fight scene cannot be filmed for the time being, so we can only move the subsequent filming tasks forward.

Liu Jiang retreated knowingly, and turned to look for Nicolas Cage.

"Nick, can you help me introduce a more reliable agent?"

"You agreed to play the role of Lieutenant Colonel Anderson?"

Nicolas Cage looked like he had guessed it a long time ago. He always believed that the other party would not miss this opportunity.

"It hasn't been finalized yet. I need a reliable agent to help me negotiate the salary."

"If the pay is not as good as I expected, then I can only say sorry to the producer!"

With a faint smile, Liu Jiang explained the current situation to the other party.

"Uh! Your current situation is quite special. My agent Levin may not be suitable for you."

"You'd better find a brokerage company that pays more attention to reputation and just sign a temporary brokerage contract."

"I think William Morris is very good, but its share ratio is higher than other brokerage companies."

Nicolas Cage was stunned for a moment, and after thinking briefly, he made his own suggestion.

"William Morris? I understand, thank you, Nick."

Nodding towards the other party, General Liu touched his chin thoughtfully.

The name of William Morris is well known to him. This is a century-old brokerage firm!

It seems to have a pretty good reputation, so maybe you can give it a try.

"It's just a small thing, John, I look forward to appearing in the same movie as you!"

Nicolas Cage looked at the other party sincerely. After saying this, he was called over by director Michael Bay.

Liu Jiang took out his mobile phone and walked out of the shooting location.

The trustee obtained William Morris's phone number, and he dialed it directly.

After explaining his needs to the person who answered the phone, Liu Jiang got a promise from the other person that he would be contacted as soon as possible.

Not long after, his phone vibrated.

"Hello, is this Mr. John?"

A pleasant female voice came from the microphone.

"Yes, what can I do for you?"

Liu Jiang directly asked the other party's purpose.

"I'm Theresa Peters from William Morris. Mr. John, you called just now and wanted to find a temporary agent, right?"

"That's right! I'm currently in Rock Island, San Francisco. When can you come over at the earliest?"

"Rock Island? I can get there in about two hours."

"Good! Let's talk about it when we meet."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Jiang returned to the shooting scene.

Almost two and a half hours later, his phone vibrated again.

Liu Jiang did not answer the phone in a hurry, but walked out of the shooting location quickly.

A tall beauty with blond hair and blue eyes wearing professional attire was standing at the door.

"Are you Teresa Peters?"

Liu Jiang blinked in disbelief. A beauty of this level could succeed even as an actress!
"Yes, are you Mr. John? Why do you look so familiar to me?"

"You can't be Jennifer Connelly's boxing champion boyfriend!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Theresa's eyes, the smile on her face immediately brightened, and she said eagerly.

"Uh! You are right to say that! I am John, let me tell you the current situation first!"

General Liu rolled his head and spoke out all the problems he faced and the results he wanted to achieve.

Although the other party looks more like a female star than an agent of William Morris.

But now I have no choice but to choose to trust the other party.

After listening to General Liu's introduction, Theresa raised her head confidently.

"Don't worry! Mr. John, I will help you get the best terms!"

"I feel like the producers just want to use your fame to promote the movie. It will save them a lot of money."

"Your asking price is not excessive. I am confident that I can convince the two producers."

Liu Jiang couldn't help but nodded when he heard this. This beauty didn't seem to be a vase, her reaction was quite keen.

However, he felt that Theresa was a little too optimistic, so he couldn't help but remind her.

"Jerry Bruckheimer and Don Simpson are not easy to deal with. You'd better be prepared."

"Don't worry, leave it to me! I will take care of them!"

There was no fear on Theresa's face. She raised her head and raised her chest like a proud white swan.

What a fucking awesome figure! General Liu swallowed quietly and said nothing more.

After carefully checking the temporary management contract handed over by the other party, he called and asked Harvey again.

After getting Harvey's confirmation, Liu Jiang directly signed his name on the temporary management contract.

10% share ratio, not bad! Not too outrageous.

Next, Liu took Theresa onto the set and found Jerry Bruckheimer and Don Simpson.

The four found a quiet place and began face-to-face negotiations. As expected, Teresa had two skills, and she was able to negotiate with the two old gangsters without any lag.

Liu Jiang just watched the other party's performance quietly. Of course, the focus of his eyes was not limited to Theresa's pretty face.

The astonishing undulations of the curves attracted his attention even more.

After an hour-long argument, Jerry Bruckheimer and Don Simpson finally agreed with Teresa on General Liu's salary.

60 U.S. dollars, which is about the same as his salary for attending an event.

General Liu was not in a hurry to sign a contract with the other party. After all, this was no more than a temporary contract. He had to wait for Harvey to inspect it before he dared to sign.

Jerry Bruckheimer and Don Simpson expressed understanding of his caution, and Teresa said little.

Liu Jiang took out his cell phone and called Harvey, asking him to come to Rock Island early tomorrow morning.

The next day, Liu Jiang, accompanied by Harvey, signed his name on the actor's contract.

"Mr. John, actually the profession of actor is very suitable for you. Are you interested in signing a long-term management contract with me?"

After settling the contract, Teresa quietly approached General Liu and began to persuade him in a low voice.

"This is not urgent at the moment. I have to think it over carefully before I make a decision!"

Liu Jiang took a deep look at the other party and added another sentence.

"If I plan to become an actor in the future, I will contact you as soon as possible."

Teresa saw that General Liu's attitude was quite firm, so she didn't force it.

After leaving a business card, she left the shooting scene with graceful steps. She made a lot of money from this business.

General Liu was taken to the dressing room to prepare for the next shooting.

Wearing a black tactical camouflage uniform that was not very breathable, his face was also smeared with a few light streaks of oil paint.

Wearing a full set of weapons and equipment, General Liu looks like a majestic special forces soldier.

The lines and actions were already memorized, and the shower room fight was officially shot.

As the light bulb in the shower room lit up, General Hammer's men suddenly appeared behind the fence, holding their weapons condescendingly and aiming at the assault team.

"Drop your weapons! Hurry!"

"Don't fire! Don't fire!"

General Hammer walked out slowly and roared in a loud voice.

"I am General Hammer, put down your weapons! Put down your weapons!"

Liu Jiang held the MP5 tightly and slowly walked out from behind the cylindrical bunker.

"I am Lieutenant Colonel Anderson, the leader of the commando team, Your Excellency General."

General Hammer's expression was extremely serious, his eyes were as sharp as eagle eyes, and he shouted in a deep voice.

"Lieutenant Colonel Anderson, if you care about the lives of your brothers, you should order them to put down their weapons!"

General Liu had a solemn look on his face, his back straightened, and he replied a few words loudly.

"Sir, we know your purpose, and I completely agree with you."

"But I, like you, swear to defend my country against its enemies, whether they are foreigners or our own!"

"General, we have all shed blood for this country, you know I cannot issue this order!"

The sweat on his face kept falling, and Liu Jiang's eyes widened, as fierce as a tiger eager to bite people.

What he said was categorical and there was no room for compromise.

"We're dead!"

At this time, a member of the assault team said something depressing, his face full of fear.

"We are condescending, Lieutenant Colonel! I will not ask you anymore, don't do anything stupid, no one wants to die here."

General Hammer's tone slowed down, but the meaning behind his words was unusually cold and cruel.

"Those who follow the general, you swore allegiance to your country in the Marine Corps!"

"Have you forgotten? We all lost our lives on the battlefield!"

"Some were even abandoned by the people in that building, but you have no right to rebel!"

General Liu said impassionedly. He kept looking around and looking at each of General Hanmer's men, trying to impress them with words.

"Whatever you say! We have the advantage and you've made a big mistake, Lieutenant Colonel!"

General Hammer shouted again, as if he couldn't bear it any longer.

His expression became a little distorted, and he even clenched his hands into fists and slapped his chest several times.

"do not move!"

General Liu glanced at the members of the assault team beside him and told them not to act rashly.

"Damn it! Lieutenant Colonel, this is the last time, order your men to put down their weapons!"

General Hammer's expression returned to calm, and his eyes revealed a murderous intent.

"I can't give that order!"

Liu Jiang turned his head quickly and kept looking at the surrounding environment, as if looking for a way out.

"I don't want to say it again!"

With a furious roar, General Hammer frowned, and veins popped out on his forehead.

"I can't give that order!"

Liu Jiang also began to roar crazily. The veins on his neck were prominent and the expression on his face looked extremely ferocious.

"Is there something wrong with you? Or can't you see the form clearly?"

General Hammer's face turned red from suppressing his anger, and his roar resounded throughout the bathroom.

"Don't move! Don't fucking move!"

His men also shouted, and the weapons in their hands kept pointing downwards.

"I'll say it again."

General Hammer tried to persuade him to surrender again, but one of his men suddenly shouted something into the headset.

"Let's kill them!"

At this moment, another of General Hammer's men knocked off a few bricks with the M16A1 in his hand.

With the sound of bricks falling, a member of the assault team in the bathroom suddenly collapsed.

He fired wildly in all directions, and General Hammer's group immediately launched a counterattack.

Suddenly, a crackling sound echoed throughout the bathroom.

Tongues of fire were flying everywhere, and smoke was rising.

Because the members of the assault team were in an absolutely disadvantaged position, some began to fall.

General Hammer huddled behind the fence and kept shouting, "Ceasefire! Ceasefire! Ceasefire!"

I don't know if the crackling sound drowned out his voice, or if his men were unwilling to obey his orders.

The fire kept flashing, stone chips flew, and the bathroom turned into a pot of porridge.

The blood packs on Liu Jiang's body kept exploding, and he also acted in an extremely exaggerated posture, and fell down with his teeth and claws open.
