EXCLUSIVE: Orlando Bloom Isn’t Following His ICM Agent to CAA
原文：http://elflady.com/orlandolove/s ... 7&postcount=869
On the eve of his Pirates of the Caribbean 2 shaping up to have the biggest movie opening ever, I’ve got exclusive news that Orlando Bloom has decided not to follow his ICM talent agent Chris Andrews to CAA. Instead, Bloom will be represented by manager Aleen Keshishian of Brillstein-Grey, ICM London’s Fiona McLoughlin (not ICM here), and attorney Patti Felker. This rejection is a big blow to Andrews and CAA. So let’s revisit Andrews’ recent leap from ICM to CAA. I’m told the story behind it is that, just a few days before his move, Chris found out that actor Josh Lucas had fired him for CAA. After some memorable turns in A Beautiful Mind and Sweet Home Alabama, Lucas had several recent clunkers in a row: Stealth, Glory Road and Poseidon (Lucas hoped he’d be the next Leo after that Warner’s embarrassment). But here’s the thing: I’ve learned that Andrews never told ICM that Lucas had left. Instead, Chris just jumped. And I’m told that, interestingly, Andrews will not be representing Lucas at CAA. Following Chris to CAA so far are Sir Ian McKellen, Sir Ben Kingsley, Felicity Huffman and Guy Pearce — all talented actors but none big movie stars. On the other hand, Andrews was anticipating Bloom to follow him to CAA. Jimmy Woods, who is handled by several ICM agents and is the star of CBS’ new drama series Shark this fall, is expected to stay at ICM. Here’s why, or so he once told me: In the 1990s, Woods left CAA after his longtime agent there told him he was cold. When he went to ICM, however, Woods began to work nonstop in a wide variety of Oscar-potential parts. Woods even made a joke of it. After a year at ICM, he told his agent he was leaving. There was a moment of dramatic silence. Then Woods went on, “Because I’m working too much. I desperately need a vacation.” Cue the relief laughter.
Don’t get me wrong: Andrews is a fine agent; he was well-liked at ICM and trusted by agency topper Jeff Berg. Sure, it’s exceedingly rare for ICM agents to jump to The Dark Side, aka CAA. But I’ve seen this happen before: veteran rep jumps at CAA’s offer of a 5-year contract that guarantees him more money than he’s making currently without having to go through the usual autumnal panic where his salary and bonus is determined by a computer model that factors in commissions, prestige, leadership, and such. As for why CAA would want Andrews, remember what I’ve told you here before: Richard Lovett took to heart the two essential guiding principles of the late Mark McCormack’s IMG: First, that the company was always more important than the clients, and, as far as the clients go, it didn’t matter if they were successful or mediocre; it was better to have them than not have them. The result is that Lovett’s mantra is market share, market share, market share. As Lovett likes to say, there won’t be a need for any other agency if CAA has everyone. Won’t that be a fun day in Hollywood.

以上主要是说Orlando的经纪人Chris Andrews跳槽到了好莱坞排名第一的CAA（创意艺人经纪公司），这个经纪人被一个新秀炒了之后带了他名下的一群明星一起投靠了CAA，他希望Orlando也能跟他一起去，但Orlando还是打算留在老东家ICM（国际创意管理公司），他的这个决定不知会对他的前途产生什么影响。
CAA是在好莱坞排名第一的经纪公司，而由一批小公司组成的ICM现在是排名第三（它在电视、音乐界很强，但在电影界绝对没有CAA强），但开花所在的是ICM的伦敦部（还不是好莱坞的呢）。一般来看，去CAA这样的大公司自然机会多一会，有好的片约有人捧，但是开花执意留在ICM不知是对好莱坞的拒绝还是他有了自己的想法，独立的表现。
还有大家要注意，文中所说的经纪人，和经理人不一样，一个经纪人名下可以有多位明星，佣金为10%，而经理人则只负责一位明星，通常可以是这个明星的亲属，佣金为15%，经理人也可能是一个团队。而且经纪人不能参与影片制作，而经理人可以。一般经纪公司旗下有很多明星、导演、编剧等等，他们经常会将这些资源打包，然后“卖”给影片公司，比如《阿甘正传》，全部人员几乎都是CAA的人。
