Angelina was somewhat surprised to receive Cao Kun's call: "Isn't it time for recuperation today?"

Cao Kun: "I'm currently in Egypt and won't be able to come and help you recuperate for the next two months."

Angelina immediately asked, "Will there be any consequences after the interruption?"

Cao Kun: "Basically not. I'll take you a few more times."

Angelina was relieved to hear that it wouldn't have any impact.

She giggled sweetly, deliberately saying, "You're the boss, you're in charge."

Cao Kun ignored her outburst: "Which agency are you with?"

Cao Kun remembers that Angelina Jolie was a star who frequently changed agencies; she seemed to have worked for CAA, UTA, IFA, and WME.

I just can't remember which year it was or which company it was.

Angelina asked curiously, "Why are you asking this?"

Cao Kun: "I need an agent."

Upon hearing this, Angelina immediately had an idea: "I'm from the CAA, I can introduce you to my agent."

CAA has always been the largest and most powerful talent agency in Hollywood.

Known for its packaged projects.

It's a film company. If they want to use CAA artists, CAA will usually recommend a large group of actors. In addition, they will also provide directors, cinematographers, etc.

The film company had to reluctantly accept the offer in order to use that very popular actor at the time.

With one project, CAA naturally made a fortune and also increased the popularity of its artists.

However, with this kind of thing, everything is fine once you make money.

If the film company loses money, they will hate CAA and that actor.

This is also one of the reasons why many big-name actors left CAA later on.

Cao Kun: "CAA is out of the question, I don't like package deals."

Angelina laughed: "With your current fame, you're not even in a position to be packaged. You're just the one being packaged."

"You know nothing." Cao Kun knew that with a woman like Angelina, you couldn't be polite to her. The more polite you were, the more she would take advantage of you: "Now I'm not only an actress, but also the owner of a film company and a producer."

Angelina laughed even louder: "You've only been in Hollywood for a few years, and you're already a producer? Don't lose all the money you worked so hard to earn from exorcising demons."

She changed the subject: "But it doesn't matter if you lose everything, I'll support you."

"Get lost," Cao Kun said irritably.

If Anlina were in front of him now, she would surely get another beating.

Angelina put away her smile and said seriously, "It's simple if you don't want to be packaged up. Just put that in the contract. You're not famous right now, and you're of Chinese descent. You don't have much value to the CAA. It doesn't matter whether you add it or not."

However, the CAA's professionalism allows it to secure many advantages.

Cao Kun knew that although these words were harsh, they were true: "Okay, I will have my lawyer sign an actor agency contract with the CAA on my behalf."

After chatting for a few more minutes, Cao Kun hung up the phone.

Then he called Mia and explained the situation.

Despite the 10-hour time difference, and the fact that it was still nighttime in Los Angeles, Mia still agreed.

…………

Around 10 a.m. the next day, Los Angeles time.

Crowley walked into the Universal building with a stern face.

Crowley is in a bad mood today.

An hour earlier, under pressure from Angelina, she signed an acting agency contract with a Chinese-American actor she had never met.

Crowley certainly didn't want to sign this guy; he had no experience, no reputation, no resources, and most importantly, he was of Chinese descent.

Furthermore, they specifically requested that a clause be added to the contract stipulating that they would not be included in the package deal.

Of the conditions mentioned above, the last one is no longer relevant.

Crowley couldn't fathom what benefits signing such an actor would bring her.

Not only will she not gain any benefit, but if word gets out, she will be laughed at in the agent circle.

However, Angelina insisted that she sign it.

If she doesn't sign, Angelina will fire her.

In order to retain Angelina, a promising talent, Crowley had no choice but to bite the bullet and sign a brokerage contract with this newcomer who was poor in every way and could not be seen in person, only represented by her lawyer.

The moment he signed his name, Crowley felt like he had gone mad.

Just after the agency contract was signed, the lawyer named Mia asked her to go to Universal to sign an actor contract on behalf of that person.

At first, Crowley was somewhat surprised, wondering if he had underestimated this Chinese-American who had managed to secure resources from Universal.

After figuring out that he was just a minor character, Crowley immediately realized he had been overthinking things.

In this situation, it would be a miracle if she were in a good mood.

Upon entering Universal Pictures and stating her purpose, she was immediately led to the production office of the "Mummy" project team.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Crowley, there are people discussing things inside. Please wait a few minutes."

Crowley waved his hand, indicating that it was alright.

Sure enough, after only three minutes, the office door opened and two people came out.

The man who led her over said, "Ms. Crowley, you may go in now."

As Crowley was about to go inside, he saw a middle-aged white man in a business suit, overweight and balding, leading a young Asian man towards him.

Out of professional habit, Crowley sized up the two men.

She recognized at a glance that the middle-aged white man was in the same profession as her.

However, judging from the quality of their suits and their overall appearance, it was clear that they were among the worst off in their line of work.

In other words, agents who can only represent ethnic minorities.

She could tell from that extremely inexperienced Asian young man.

Crowley saw Sam White, and Sam White saw Crowley.

His gaze shifted, and he guessed Crowley's identity, a bright smile immediately spreading across his face.

He was about to come over and chat when he saw Crowley turn around and walk into the office.

Sam-White watched Crowley walk into the office with an envious look, then turned to the young Asian man and said, "See? She's an agent too, but none of her actors have shown up."

"If you work hard, you can be like that in the future too. You won't have to do anything, not even show your face. I, your agent, can handle everything for you."

The Asian youth nodded repeatedly.

Sam White added, "The Mummy's production budget alone was $80 million, and with post-production promotion, the total cost was at least $100 million."

Do you know what such a big-budget production means?

This means you will have important qualifications in the future.

With this experience, you'll have many more opportunities in the future.

The young Asian man continued to nod.

Sam White's gaze suddenly turned cold: "But don't think that playing a role makes you any more amazing."

I had an actor like that before. After playing a small role, he got cocky and thought he had really stepped into Hollywood.

But I haven't heard from him since.

Perhaps he's already pitched a tent somewhere, or maybe he's been shot dead.

You absolutely mustn't follow his example.

The young Asian man, recalling his past experiences, quickly said, "Sam, don't worry, I will never do that again. I'll listen to you."

Sam White patted the Asian youth on the shoulder with a look of satisfaction.
