After politely saying that, Diego Harris has played up the spirit of 12 points. As an agent like Bill rosis, the reputation of being difficult has already spread in the circle. When it's profitable, CAA's lion's mouth will be opened to the maximum and bite a piece of meat as big as possible.
However, he also knows that superhero film projects like this one must pay a considerable price to impress Murphy Stanton, Warner Brothers and DC Comics.
As he has said before, 25% of the film's total income will be used as Murphy Stanton's personal dividend. Looking at Hollywood as a whole, this is absolutely the top sharing contract.
This is the bottom line of Warner Brothers and DC Comics.
Diego Harris's head is spinning fast, and now he has agreed to Murphy Stanton's original sharing conditions. The other party's attitude is obviously softened, and sharing should not be a problem. No matter how much Murphy Stanton's appetite is, at most, he will increase the price of basic film.
For ordinary senior directors, they prefer to give a little more late share, but they don't want to increase the basic film pay. A substantial increase in the basic film pay will greatly increase the early investment, thus increasing the risk of the project. Later share will not, and it can better bind the director or other important members of the crew to the project.
But a director like Murphy Stanton is definitely not on the list.
Everyone in Hollywood now knows that Murphy Stanton's protection of a film's market revenue is bigger than that of superstars like Tom Cruise and Leonardo DiCaprio. Judging from the recent five films, his works are synonymous with box office boom.
In this case, it is not cost-effective to pay a huge amount of late share compared with increasing the basic film pay.
In terms of improving the basic film pay, Bruce Rosenblum did not make a clear request, he still has some room for operation.
In a short moment, countless thoughts flashed through Diego Harris's mind, and then he had his own psychological bottom line.
In order to get rid of Murphy Stanton, he is willing to accept 20 plus 25 salary terms, that is, 20 million US dollars of basic film salary plus 25% of the total film revenue!
In the view of Diego Harris, this kind of payment is not only unique in Hollywood, but also a very rare super contract.
Of course, he can't say this directly, otherwise it's not negotiation, but waiting to be slaughtered by bill rosis.
Diego Harris believes that the conditions offered by Warner Brothers and DC Comics, which he represents, are already very high.
At the end of the polite speech, Bill rosis cut to the point directly, "let's talk about Murphy's salary first."
"Go ahead, please." Diego Harris made a please sign.
Everything else is empty. Salary is the key to the cooperation between the two sides.
Bill Rossi held out his index and middle fingers and said, "20 million dollars for basic film."
When he said that, Diego Harris didn't say it. He was a little relieved, but Bill rosis went on to say, "in addition, 30% of the total film revenue in the future will be Murphy's personal share!"
30 percent? Diego Harris instantly widened his eyes and said, "it's impossible!"
Bill rosis spread out his hand and shrugged again.
"I said that before." Again, Diego Harris stressed, "25 percent of total revenue!"
"That was Murphy's previous price." Bill rosis laughed. "Diego, do you think Murphy is still Murphy? He has a higher status and stronger appeal in the industry, and should be paid more! "
Diego Harris shook his head. "There's no precedent for Warner Brothers."
"The first one has to go." Said Bill rossis.
"Sorry." Diego Harris sighed from the bottom of his heart. Murphy Stanton was more greedy than he thought. "I can't agree to such a condition."
"All right." Bill rosis stood up directly. "It seems that we can't cooperate again."
When Diego Harris saw that Bill rosis didn't want to talk any more, he subconsciously wanted to stand up and stop him, but he thought that it would make his side more passive and forced him to bear it.
Bill rosis was ready to leave. Before leaving, he said, "Diego, you know my phone number. If Warner Brothers agrees to our terms, you can call me at any time. Murphy is still very cooperative."
This is also called cooperation sincerity? Diego Harris wanted to rush up and spray bill rosis, but he said, "I'll tell the company about this."
"Goodbye."
With that, Bill rosis went straight out of the drawing room.
Murphy has his own plan to carry out, and he doesn't want to interrupt the plan that has already started the preliminary preparation unless there is a major accident or a reward that can't be refused. Warner brothers came up at this time, and of course he would offer a sky high price.If Warner Brothers and DC Comics agree, such a price may bring huge income, and he can also interrupt his plan slightly.
If Warner Brothers and DC Comics refuse, he won't lose much.
Diego Harris immediately informed Bruce Rosenblum of the negotiation process by telephone.
Sitting in his office, Bruce Rosenblum took the phone. He felt relieved and a little pleased. Murphy Stanton offered such a high offer. Didn't he just give him a reason to refuse?
At a recent board meeting, many people criticized him for giving up the cooperation with Murphy Stanton, believing that Murphy Stanton should be invited back to direct DC's superhero film series. These people, like Diego Harris, are all powerful figures, exerting great pressure on his CEO.
Now, it's impossible for Warner Brothers to agree to such conditions. There was no such precedent before.
"Diego, you continue to get in touch with Murphy Stanton." Bruce Rosenblum always has to show a positive attitude. "Wonder woman has to wait for a while. Talk slowly. Don't worry."
With Murphy Stanton's current status, it is impossible to reduce the remuneration of large-scale commercial films, and the cooperation between Warner Brothers and him is difficult to start again.
"Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of justice" is indeed a failure in public praise. Murphy Stanton has indeed brought unprecedented glory to DC's superhero series. However, with so many Hollywood directors, he does not believe that DC's superhero films can be successful only if they are tied to Murphy Stanton.
I'm not sure. The "suicide team" is going to be a box office and word-of-mouth hit?
Bruce Rosenblum thinks that this kind of possibility is not without, Warner brothers can wait, DC random change superhero movie will not always be so bad luck.
On the way to James Franco's house, Murphy receives a call from Bill rosis. He is more patient than Warner Brothers, so that Bill rosis doesn't have to worry at all and talks with Warner Brothers slowly, even if it doesn't work out.
If it doesn't work out, the only regret is Gail gado's wonder woman. Fortunately, the shame games that both of them are infatuated with can make up for this regret to a great extent.
On the way to Santa Monica, Murphy met Jonah hill and rushed to James Franco's home. They all came to visit Lily Collins. The proposal of James Franco led to Lily Collins being forced to wash her stomach. This was not a big problem, but Lily Collins may have been on a strict diet in recent years in order to keep fit Therefore, the stomach has not been very good, gastric lavage caused her gastrointestinal dysfunction, recent physical condition is very poor.
"If I had known that," said James Franco with a look of chagrin, "I wouldn't have proposed anything."
Jonah Hill slapped him heavily on the shoulder. "You are still so unreliable."
Rarely did James Franco fight back, but looked at Lily Collins sitting on the sofa.
"Murphy," lily Collins asked, looking at Murphy, "when will Gail be back?"
"Until April." Murphy just asked Gail gado last night, "there's a little bit of trouble in their business."
"Big trouble?" Lily Collins asked with concern.
"Little problem." Murphy smiles. "It's almost done."
"Gail's not here..." Lily Collins hammered down her pillow. "Susan is so busy with her work that she has no one to go shopping with."
Suddenly she turned to Jonah hill. "Don't you want to go after Emma Roberts? What's going on now? "
"That..." Jonah Hill scratched her head. "She's been avoiding me since that time."
Murphy and James Franco laughed at the thought of Jonah Hill's farce. It is estimated that Emma Roberts left a shadow that time.
Murphy suddenly thought of an idea, "Joe, isn't the script of Seth planning to let Hollywood stars play the real version of them in the film? Why don't you invite Emma Roberts? I'm sure she'll think about such an opportunity. "
Because of the relationship between Julia Roberts, Emma Roberts is well-known and is often followed by the media. However, her situation in Hollywood is not good, and even Lily Collins is not as good. She can't find a representative work, which is also a typical example of the kind of people who are popular and the role is not popular.
"Good idea." Jonah Hill nodded. "I can try it."
After staying at James Franco's house for a while, Murphy and Jonah Hill leave together. When they go back, Murphy receives a call from Bill rosis. Warner Bros. has just officially announced the director of "suicide team" on the social networking website. It seems that they are telling him in this way that without him, Murphy Stanton, DC's superhero series will not be affected Any impact. (to be continued). )
