“It’s for people who are willing to bet effectively on themselves,” Affleck said Wednesday at CNBC’s Delivering Alpha conference

There's a reason they call it"show business," and Ben Affleck, one of the biggest stars in the entertainment industry, is putting that into action in a literal way.With his start-up launched two years ago called Artists Equity, Affleck, his long-time friend and sometimes co-star Matt Damon and investor Gerry Cardinale of RedBird Capital have sought to remake the way that people involved in productions are paid and the stake they take in those endeavors.

"It's not for everybody. It's for people who are willing to bet effectively on themselves," Affleck said Wednesday at CNBC's Delivering Alpha conference."You've got to invest yourself in this, but if you win, there's a real win out there for you that's economically meaningful."There was"Air," a drama that showed how Nike won the endorsement of NBA legend Michael Jordan by appealing to his family.

For his part, Cardinale said the industry is finally reaching a place where the motto"content is king" truly holds, now especially because performers and studio heads can share in the benefits of a successful production. "Most actors, they don't care about the outcome. They get their fee, right? The agents get their fee. There's a whole ecosystem of unaccountability," he said."Content has the ability to be king. What's really interesting is that individuals actually can be intellectual property in and of themselves."

"The one thing that's new, and which is so interesting to me, is now the talents at the table," he added."That genie is never going back in the box."Saturday Night Live
