Chapter 250

The Emmy Awards, Toronto, and triliureid have made Andy a little complacent and full of expectations for the future of Langley; But then the "bad boss" and "speed and passion 5" have been blocked, but sounded the alarm, Andy began to readjust the plan.

"Speed and passion 5" is really a good opportunity. However, if we focus on the film pay, the maximum is $1 million, and the ceiling is $1.2 million. In fact, it doesn't make much sense. Even if we miss this work, with the accumulated reputation of "Pacific War" and "buried alive", Andy can be in any commercial film, For Lan Li to win such a level of pay, 800000 up and down wandering, then, why should he worry? Why must it be "speed and passion 5"?

What's more, lanli only paid 20000 US dollars for shooting "crazy love", which is consistent with the original payment for lanli's role in the "Pacific War" episode. Thus it can be seen that the film payment is not the most important for Lan Li.

Think carefully, what is the biggest positive impact of "speed and passion 5" on lanli?

Do you want to increase your Blockbuster Experience? It's too cheap to be the third protagonist; Is the box office success of the blockbuster? After the film is released, if it succeeds at the box office, people will say it's thanks to van diesel and Paul Walker. If it fails at the box office, people will say it's the failure of Langley hall; Do you practice acting? This is obviously a joke.

Test the water action movie, open up the commercial potential of lanli? That's one reason, but not enough.

In Andy's opinion, the most important role of "speed and passion 5" is exposure and recognition.

Next, lanli will enter the competition for the award season. It can be said that "burying alive" is an independent work without roots and foundation, which is not loved by grandma or grandfather. At the same time, there are no top producers like George Clooney and Brad Pitt. Even in Chengdu of Sundance, it just depends on the breath of Toronto, It's a fool's dream to find a way out in the competitive award season.

However, through the shooting of "speed and passion 5", we can create hot topics, attract more attention, and make the name "Langley hall" become familiar. Then, with the publicity strategy of focus film industry, we can win a glimmer of vitality - a glimmer of life.

In the final analysis, the award season is a public relations war. If you haven't heard of the work or the actor, how can you vote? In the era of information explosion, the quietness and elegance of waiting for the aroma of wine to attract guests is gone forever.

Therefore, if "speed and passion 5" can't bring these concerns to lanli, Andy thinks that it's better to push off this work and then resell it. There's no need to make a hasty decision. As an agent, Andy has to make a more detailed and long-term plan for Langley's career. He doesn't want to encourage others.

The impact of the little accident of triliureid is very obvious.

"0.5 percent dividend." Andy said slowly, obviously with a long idea, "in addition, lanli must be the third leading actor of the crew, and participate in all the publicity of the programs. I mean, the premiere ceremonies all over the country, as well as all the talk shows and radio programs; In addition, there are also photo locations on various occasions, magazines, premieres and press conferences. "

Hollywood's system is very mature, complete and intricate. It is discussed only by actors——

When shooting in the crew, is there a separate RV? How many people are there in the team, including makeup artists, costume designers, assistants, etc.? Do you have chairs marked with your name on the shooting site? Do you have reimbursement for the transportation expenses

During the publicity period, do you have the right to refuse to attend the program, the length and weight of the magazine interview, and whether the accompanying team is officially equipped or carried by themselves, Is there any sponsorship for the advertised clothing

After the film is released, whether the actors have the right to watch it in advance, whether they have the right to veto their own performance clips, and whether they have the right to modify the script

What's the weight of the subtitles at the beginning and end of the film, whether the list of actors is listed separately, what's the number, the size and location of the font, and even whether the matching background is different from other actors

All of these are different. Every detail can distinguish actors into different levels. The more famous actors are, the more specific and detailed they are. Even the top brands can request that they refuse to share the stage with an artist, even if it's just an accidental encounter during the publicity period. All these can be clearly stipulated in the contract.

"And, of course, the location of movie subtitles." Andy added that "speed and passion 5" is a huge production group with nearly ten core roles. Apart from two absolute core roles, the competition for the positions of other actors is bound to be very fierce. Andy must fight for a more favorable position for lanli.

Although it's all Neil's expected answers, and it's not unreasonable to ask for the corresponding treatment of the third star, Neil still has to admire Andy's ambition and execution, just like a net, waiting for him to be caught. Originally, they thought they had everything in their hands, but there was a yellow finch waiting behind them.

Give up blue rite? Or compromise?

Two options reappeared in Neil's mind, but this time he didn't hesitate, "how about a million dollars, and then the treatment of the third star."

0.5% of the box office bonus, according to the 200 million box office results in North America, is actually one million dollars. Such a price, Neil has no reason to refuse, but the difference lies in: one is the payment of film remuneration, the other is the payment of dividends, which is different for the recognition of lanli.

If it is a dividend, it also means that lanli needs to bear the box office risk - although the 0.5% risk can be ignored, the attitude of the crew is bound to be different, and lanli will be given more respect in the production and publicity stages. Especially considering the huge crew of "speed and passion 5" and Lan Li with shallow qualifications, it is difficult to win more attention without this amulet.

Neil knows that, and Andy knows it.

"In my opinion, the treatment of the third leading actor is a matter of course." Andy is not in a hurry, said slowly, speaking even slower than Neil, "but a million dollars, but not the level of the third star."

Hobbes's weight in the script is the third leading role of Tieda, but the low pay can't match it, just like Chris Evans's pay for playing Captain America is only $600000.

However, Chris signed a contract with paramount at the beginning, and six films were signed. The pay was not high, but it ensured that Chris would be tied up with the role of Captain America, paving the way for the actor career. Of course, the treatment of his first leading role was also absolutely guaranteed.

What Andy is fighting for now is the treatment that matches the third leading actor. In terms of film remuneration, Universal Pictures naturally can't offer 2.5 million yuan to lanli. One million yuan is already the ceiling, so Andy puts forward an exchange plan, completely abandoning the demand for minimum film remuneration, lowering his attitude, and then replacing the film remuneration with dividends. On the one hand, Andy's salary is not enough, On the other hand, it also ensures the third leading role of lanli.

Compared with dawn Johnson, the use of Langley is economical and affordable.

Neil's mouth showed a helpless smile. It has to be said that Andy took the right time and put forward a reasonable request. It can almost be said that he is walking on the edge of challenging the bottom line, but it won't make people angry. And, of course, Steven Spielberg.

"You're very ambitious, aren't you?" The confused thought just lingered in his mind for a moment, and Neil soon calmed down and made a decision.

Andy shrugged and said half jokingly, "this is Hollywood. People always say, make your dreams higher."

"What's his schedule like? In five days, we'll be back in Los Angeles. " Neil finally got back to the point. They all know that Langley is shooting "crazy love". If the schedule doesn't match, the conversation just now will be meaningless.

Andy glanced at the calendar and thought, "no problem." If there is no accident, lanli should come back to Los Angeles today to complete the rest of "crazy love". Five days is enough.

"I'll have the lawyer draw up the contract and fax it to you." Instead of continuing to be polite, Neil simply said that since he had made a choice, he would go on unswervingly.

The two exchanged a few simple greetings and then hung up.

But Andy still didn't take it lightly. After the lawyer drew up the contract, they need to carefully examine one side, add some details, and then go back. This time, it will take two to three days for both sides. Andy won't forget that Neil contacted Jason stanson. If dawn puts down his posture in these three days, the matter will fall short. Before signing the contract in black and white, we still can't take it lightly.

After thinking about it, Andy makes a few phone calls and says something. His approach is very simple, just let dawn know that Jason has signed with the "death squads" crew, which is enough.

If he believes that Neil is in a coma at the critical moment, and that choosing Jason is just a desperate fight at a loss, then dawn will continue to insist; But what if he doesn't believe it

Andy needs to convince dawn that Langley is still filming in London and has no plans to return to Los Angeles in the near future.
