Hello Muhammad,
I would say that there are two paths to achieve your goal:
1. Be rich, or have a family member already in that sort of circles so you can be included.
2. Work really hard! Working in the entertainment industry is not easy, and requires a lot of time, energy, and luck to be both professional, respected, and attract more people to you.
Entertainment law is not an easy field to join as there aren't that many jobs opportunities especially out of Law school, and most people who got in, is mostly through internships, than just getting a job for it.
Since California, and more specifically Hollywood/LA are kind of the current hub for the entertainment industry I would definitely advise to consider a law school, or even a college in that area, as the schools probably would have opportunities for their students to have more access to that industry.
Also, there has been a lot of movement, but it is still early, to other states, as California is becoming expensive for studios, they might look to move some of their locations to cheaper states. I would advise to look into that, and potentially think long term. If you can establish yourself in a smaller market, let's say in Nevada, then you will definitely have more access to big names, as if they move to your area, you will be the person to get in touch with.
There is a lot to consider, and definitely some planning, but with some research and maybe reaching out to schools, alumni, and maybe even law firms, you will be able to get ahead of the curve.
Good luck!
