Ok, I finally have to ask. When submitting to power people like publishers or producers, we often see that some only accept submissions from referrals, agents or entertainment lawyers. I understand agents and referrals, but can I hire an entertainment lawyer for a fee (it maybe a fee of thousands of dollars but they can be hired) and have him send my work around?
Does this mean if I pay a high power Hollywood lawyer a bunch of money, he'll plop my material on Ron Howard's desk?
An agent just invests a few seconds looking at a query and decides it sucks. Will a lawyer have to be paid to look at your work and say it sucks? Having decided it sucks, would he still send it out if you pay him enough? If you pay him thousands of dollars and give him a script that sucks, will he take the money, thank you, tell you your script sucks, then ask you to leave his office?
What's the deal with this lawyer stuff?
