Chapter 641

There's no need to wait for tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Before the sunset falls, Jack abnormally receives a call from Michael; What's more, Michael gave a lot of praise, saying that it's an honor for the crew to work with dawn, and promising that they are having a final discussion on the $3.5 million film reward. If there is no accident, there should be no problem. Now, just wait for dawn to nod.

Three and a half million, that's what Jack and dawn have been planning for. Now they're close at hand. All he has to do is nod his head and agree. Dawn can sign a contract with the crew and become a member of the cast of the "speed and passion" sequel. They don't need to worry about Andy Rogers or Larry hall. Three and a half million, That's the guaranteed pay. Dawn's acting career will open a new chapter.

But Jack hesitated.

First Andy, then Michael, isn't that a coincidence?

Even if he tries to convince himself that Andy's phone call may be just a trap, to avoid repeating it, he should immediately nod his head and agree. However, things always reveal a strange unspeakable. So, should he believe Andy? Should he believe the opponent who once made a big dent in himself?

"I'll tell dawn to think it over."

That's Jack's answer. After hanging up, Jack couldn't help sighing. He thought he must be crazy. Just now, his dream goal was in the palm of his hand. He pushed it out by himself. Is it stupid or crazy? Looking back on his answer again, Jack still can't believe that he really turned Michael away.

If he missed it this time, he thought it might be necessary for him to change his career.

After hanging up the phone, jack also began to use his contacts to inquire about the news. There must have been a huge change in Universal Pictures recently. Even if Andy is not mentioned, Michael's behavior is too abnormal. What's even more unusual is that the news of Universal Pictures was strict before, but this time it didn't take much effort

Rumor has it that Langley hall will pay 8 million US dollars to play in the sequel of "speed and passion" and sign a contract for three works.

The news is so shocking that even the smoke bomb is beyond imagination. Jack can't help but take a breath: eight million, which is the pay of the second-line actors as the leading actor. He can be on an equal footing with Paul Walker and van diesel!

But the problem is that Hobbes is not the hero! Is it true that Lan Li will play the leading role in the sequel? To say the least, even if Lan Li really plays the leading role, it's still too incredible. Even if Lan Li is in the limelight recently, it's impossible——

If Lan Li gets such a pay, then the three leading characters will have to spend nearly 30 million or more. There are other actors whose pay needs to be considered. Don't they increase their pay? So what's the budget for the "speed and passion" sequel? There is also a play arrangement. Do you really want to divide the sequel into three equal parts?

It's just fantastic!

Eight million. What level is that? In short, it's equivalent to Marlon Brando playing Superman in 1978, earning four million dollars in ten minutes; Or... A superstar like Harrison Ford.

In 2015, after 32 years, Harrison Ford played the role of Han Solo in "Star Wars: the awakening of the force" again, with a film salary of 25 million yuan, which is the highest paid actor in the whole film. In addition, he also received 0.5% of the box office bonus; The pay itself has no problem. The problem is that Harrison is not the leading actor, but just one of many supporting roles. In contrast, the two leading characters are both new, and the film's pay is $300000.

Is it true that the current Langley hall has reached the level of Harrison Ford? It's impossible! Or is it because Langley and Harrison share the same agent? But the brokers of innovative artists agency company share the system, and the relationship between actors is not so close!

Jack has some regrets now, but he doesn't know what he regrets. It's because he regrets that Donne has become Langley's step again. He refuses Michael here, and Andy talks about eight million dollars there. Obviously, he is an important part of fueling the flames; Or do you regret that the original goal was set too low, and it only cost 3.5 million. Should the lion ask for 5 million, or at least 4.5 million?

However, this time the news did not boil too long, and then burst out more powerful rumors: Van diesel did not agree!

Things suddenly took a turn for the worse. Although fan expressed his opposition as a producer, he had a fierce impulse with Neil h. Moritz; But people in the industry know that Neil is responsible for the budget, while fan is responsible for the production. Neil nodded and agreed to the film payment, but fan had no need to object.

However, all aspects of film making are closely related. For example, if Langley gets $8 million, the crew and universal pictures are bound to hope for value for money, and Andy will definitely ask for an increase in the corresponding parts, which means that the roles and parts of the script need to be adjusted - that's the scope of fan's responsibilities.

Jack can't help but think of the rumor that fan needs to increase his play. Vaguely, Jack could smell something unusual. Although he is not the top agent in the industry, he still has a certain strength, otherwise he will not be able to push out dawn. Now, JACK feels that the hidden jigsaw puzzle is pieced together.

At this moment, Universal's Michael forthrie's office is also at a crossfire. Van diesel, Michael forthrie and Neil H. morritz are at a crossfire. There seems to be sparks between the tense muscles and sharp eyes. Even the air is about to ignite.

"You must be reasonable!" Neil could not help grinding his teeth and squeezing his voice out of the crack of his teeth. "I tell you, this is a good cooperation! Believe me

"Fart!" Fan roared directly, without any intention of saving face.

Neil took a deep breath and ignored van. He turned to Michael and said, "is your sense still there? You should know that if we give up Langley and choose someone else, whether it's dawn Johnson or Jason stanson. Yes, their pay may be lower, but after replacing the role, we have to add more fresh blood, which also means that the combined pay of dawn and Jason is even more expensive than that of Langley! "

Michael's face was gloomy and he didn't speak, but fan was trying to say, "but!"

"No, but!" Neil couldn't help it any more. He slapped the table hard and said in a terrible voice, "Langley has proved that he is not only a box office success, but also his outstanding performance in the fifth movie, which has been recognized by the audience! Continue to use him, we can use the minimum cost for the highest return! It's a good deal! "

Michael is still silent. Fan wants to argue, but he finds that the facts don't hold water. He beats the table with his fist to vent his anger, but he doesn't speak again.

Neil's mood calmed down a little bit, they did not continue to fight, which shows that there are signs of loosening, which is a good thing“ What's more, we won't really sign with 8 million. My goal is 6 million, and the bottom line is 7 million. I believe Andy Rogers is a smart man and he will compromise. "

There is still a discrepancy between the facts and the hearsay. Rumor eight million, this is Neil's initiative to release the news, showing the sincerity of Universal Pictures, but only in the industry, the media has not heard the news, which will become a bargaining chip for Neil and Andy to further negotiate.

However, this sentence seems to have stepped on fan's sensitive nerve and roared like thunder, "bonus! Why don't you say dividend? Three percent bonus? Are you out of your mind? Do you know what that means? "

This means that, according to the North American box office of 300 million, then 3% of the dividend is 9 million US dollars, and Langley will be among the top tier. Overnight fame? It's so childish. It's a blast!

It also means that the dividends of producers will be cut, in other words, the interests of van, Neil and Michael will be cut; More importantly, it also means that fan's rights will be reduced, not only the role weight and distribution in the script, but also the attention of Universal Pictures. From production to premiere to publicity, every link must be rearranged.

This is dividing fan's essential interests. He will never let go, especially when the target is still that terrible guy!

"No way! This is absolutely impossible Fan's momentum has come up. Neil is trying to explain that he and Andy's next negotiation is bound to further discuss the dividend, but fan doesn't give Neil the opportunity to say, "six million movies, OK, no problem! I promise! But, box office bonus, absolutely not! 0.5%, that's your personal promise, I will never promise! "

In the fifth film a year ago, fan's rights as a producer were relatively limited, which was more restricted by Neil; One year later, the great success of the fifth film, in addition to Langley, fan and Paul also benefited a lot, especially this time, fan got Michael's support, he can be equal in front of Neil, naturally will not easily give in.

"Van diesel!" Neil's anger also ran up, clapping the case, "don't be like the kindergarten children, make such a childish move!"

"Childish?" Fan also suddenly stood up, the chair behind him turned directly down, the bowl big fist hit the conference table directly, the whole table was shaking, "you haven't seen what is really childish! I tell you, I don't even agree with the six million film payment. Three million is the ultimate. I said three million! no way? The thing is very simple, lanli joined, I quit! Grass your mother's lanli hall, grass your mother's interest balance, grass your mother's box office bonus, you are out of your mind, don't pull me to make a fool together! Damn bitch
