Before elite changed hands dramatically, the deep network of resources and the success of the new media operation department in her daily work had given Grace a considerable reputation within the company, otherwise John Casablanca would not have turned his face because he felt his status was threatened. , and with Simon Westeros coming out in person this time, Grace's takeover of Elite went very smoothly.

Because Simon revealed last year that she wanted to be in charge of Elite, Grace, who had no doubt that a man had the ability to push her to the top, had thought about it more than once in private, and sent Simon upstairs to rest. Some of the considerations for the elite began methodically to make drastic adjustments to the elite.

The first is a series of job structure adjustments.

Because it is a non-listed private company, and there is no ceo title set, Grace takes the position of the president of the elite company in person. This time, she is the head of the entire elite model management company (elite models management), leading the global model economy giant. All subsidiaries.

Elite also had a board of directors before. With Simon's permission, Grace announced the dissolution of this department on the spot. In the future, the management will only report directly to the Apollo Management Company, which holds an absolute majority of the company's shares.

In fact, it is only responsible for Simon alone.

The reason for holding this part of the shares through Apollo Management is mainly to avoid conflicts of interest.

In fact, all walks of life in the United States have legal provisions to avoid conflicts of interest.

From the Ethics Reform Act for government employees to the Industrial Relations Act for businesses, to the Model Rules of Professional Conduct for specific areas such as the legal profession, efforts are being made to prevent professional subjects from representing the interests of both parties at the same time. Legal restrictions that favor one party and bring losses to the other party in practice.

Hollywood talent agencies cannot directly get involved in the production business, but are subject to federal and California conflict-of-interest statutes.

However, most of these laws have a large degree of operational leeway in their enforcement.

Just like the project packaging mechanism created by Michael Ovitz, it is actually a disguised way of bypassing the legal regulations that brokerage companies cannot get involved in the production business in order to obtain more benefits.

The modeling agency industry is even more lenient in terms of conflict of interest regulations.

Just like a golden retriever real estate developer, once in history, he owned a model agency, a TV production company, and directly involved in the fashion field. To be honest, these three fields are in conflict with each other, and it can be bypassed by using some business methods such as hosting, at least on the surface, there is no blame.

For elite, Simon also has this strategy.

Taking charge of elite in person and announcing the dissolution of the board of directors, Grace unceremoniously removed the president of the elite US branch who was once a confidant of John Casablanca, and replaced it with an executive who was familiar with her on weekdays. At the same time, he appointed the head of the elite advertising planning department, which he had been promoting before the confrontation with Casablanca, on the spot, and fine-tuned this department and changed its name to the business planning department.

It seems that the change of a word means that the field involved in this department will not only be advertising planning, but also planning activities similar to the model contest that Elite has been holding in recent years.

This is actually a disguised collection of powers.

The right to hold the World Elite Model Contest, which was very important to Elite, is directly in the hands.

At the same time, in addition to advertising, competitions and other fields, this department will also be involved in TV program production, fashion event planning and other fields in the future. Grace initially just wanted to start with the advertising business. Now that she is in power, of course she can follow her own ideas. conduct.

This is actually imitating another giant in the talent agency industry, ilmanagementgroup).

The main business of img, which owns the agency rights of sports celebrities such as Tiger Woods, is concentrated in the sports field. In recent years, img has also begun to set foot in the model agency industry, mainly representing high-end customers. Therefore, the scale of related aspects is far less than that of elite. However, compared to elite's vacant scale and single-minded business, img has been trying to break through its core business of talent agency over the years, and has now expanded its brand to include planning consulting, sports training, TV production, etc. aspect.

Because of the great success of this diversified operation strategy, img not only got rid of its dependence on the talent agency business, but made more big coffees in turn rely on img's resource channels, and at the same time created img's huge scale far exceeding that of elite.

Most importantly, img has also gained a voice in the sports field.

like caa in hollywood.

If it weren't for Simon, the big butterfly, Michael Ovitz would have been the number one person on the Hollywood power list in the past few years, relying on the project packaging mechanism.

As long as elite's diversification strategy can be successful, this model agency giant can also gain a stronger voice in the fashion field, instead of being the lowest end of the fashion industry chain at this stage. In order to win more opportunities for its customers, it must not Do not try to win over to please everyone.

After arranging these things, Grace asked the elite legal department to start a new contract, and transfer a series of model contracts that were originally held directly by John Casablanca to her personal name.

In fact, Grace prefers to be able to execute the caa mode.

It's just not suitable for this at this stage.

Because caa's cross-agent model is essentially a decentralization, it prevents any one broker from leaving with a large number of top clients.

If elite wants to complete a transformation, it must not decentralize in the short term. For this bloated and inefficient old model agency that has accumulated many years of ills, strong centralization is the most important prerequisite for change. Otherwise, any one All reform measures may be violated in various ways because of the lack of strong hands at the helm, and the result is that nothing can be changed.

At 12 o'clock, the meeting was announced. Grace came upstairs and knocked on the door of her office. The resolute and resolute act just now disappeared. She saw Cindy and the three girls who were chatting and laughing around Simon in the room. She just nodded and said to the man. Said: "Simon, it's already noon, can I treat you to lunch?"

Women are naturally good at disguising.

Simon nodded with a smile, got up and said, "Okay."

The three girls actually wanted to be together, but they just felt Grace's faint gaze coming over, and immediately gave up the idea subconsciously. The woman's sixth sense is also very sensitive. Karen Mulder, who was swept by Grace's gaze, because of Feeling guilty, his body even became a little weak again, and he wanted to take the opportunity to say a few words, but he couldn't recover until Simon and Grace left.

The two left the building where the elite headquarters was located and went to the underground parking lot to get on Simon's car. Grace suddenly lost her strong-woman demeanor. She couldn't help but leaned over and hugged Simon's arm, curious: "What happened to Karen? What's the matter?"

Simon felt Grace's emotion, so he simply took the woman over and put it on his lap, and said, "I was with Cindy and them for two days, and she broke in."

Grace hummed: "I'll fire her this afternoon."

Simon wrapped around the woman's waist: "But, she asked me to intercede, and I promised her."

Grace raised her face and touched Simon's stubble chin, breathing a little more quickly, and said softly, "Then let her go."

Simon lowered his head and kissed the woman's lips, and said with a smile, "So unassertive?"

"You... um, that's my opinion."

In fact, there is still a lot of work to do in the afternoon, but with Simon, Grace doesn't care about the concept of time at all. The big deal is to work more overtime today.

The two rushed to Simon's Upper East Side apartment, also on Fifth Avenue, and didn't sit at the table until 1:30 p.m.

The housekeeper Angourie Davis personally delivered lunch to the two of them. Noticing Grace's radiant face after being nourished, she couldn't help but feel envious in her heart.

Grace glanced at the back of the housekeeper as she left, and said to Simon, "I'll ask Karen and Lima to come over to accompany you at night."

Simon slowly cut the black pepper sturgeon on the dinner plate, shook his head and said: "No, you do your own thing, don't help me arrange these, it will not be good for your reputation."

Grace hummed.

Actually don't care.

In this circle, even Hollywood, and the music circle, in order to make the artists under their own names to the top, many agents are doing things like pimping, doing everything possible to push clients into the arms of rich and powerful people.

This is the case in any circle.

Otherwise, with the world's huge population base, the most important thing is a good figure and a beautiful face, why can you be in the top position, you can walk on the big-name shows, you can get luxury endorsements, and you can earn a year to see others for a lifetime Less than a few million dollars, is it just that the steps are good and the skin is more photogenic?

joke.

That's the way the world is, and it's never for nothing.

Maybe after some things are exposed, some people will be filled with righteous indignation, and some people will be disgraced. However, when the storm dissipates, many things will continue to repeat, repeat and repeat, outsiders are still unaccustomed to, and people in the game still take it for granted. Of course, there will be some outsiders who try to make themselves into the game, and then enjoy this kind of thing for granted. .

How do you say that?

Natural selection, the strong eat the weak.

In fact, modern society is already very friendly to the weak, at least it will not let the weak always feel the strict hierarchy that was robbed by life and death thousands of years ago. However, the hierarchy pyramid has never disappeared. Once some unwilling weak people want to climb up, the cruel law of the jungle will immediately blow.

Break through and look down at all beings, but you can't break through, and you will be smashed to pieces.
