Chapter 1044

There is no doubt that 20 million clubs and 10% of the box office bonus are the top level in Hollywood. They skip the ranks of front-line actors and directly rank among the top actors. Even in Hollywood's "A-list", they are also the top among the top.

In Hollywood, there are no more than 30 actors enjoying such standard treatment, which is really rare.

By the way, actors or directors who enjoy 15% or even 20% of the box office bonus, such as Steven Spielberg and Tom Cruise, are objective.

But even they can only get such a high proportion of dividends under special circumstances. They not only need to be actors and producers at the same time, but there are no other big names in the cast, because the proportion of the box office bonus that the whole cast can share is at most 40%.

In addition, enjoying such super high score red means that they will bear the box office risk together with the film company, and the loss may be very heavy.

Pay and harvest, is always proportional.

In the face of profit oriented film companies, it is extremely difficult for any actor to get such treatment. Not only the brokerage companies need to argue, but also a clever opportunity to really impress the film companies.

In short, if Warner Brothers nodded and agreed to the treatment of 20 million yuan, then the next 20 million yuan will also be the basic treatment for lanli to take over the works of other film companies; Moreover, unless the actors take the initiative to reduce the price, once they are promoted to such a level, they will not decline. For details, please refer to the tug of war between dawn Johnson and "speed and passion 5".

Therefore, every 20 million club's decision, every 10% box office bonus decision, film companies need to be cautious, in addition to their own, other film companies will more or less pressure. What actors divide up is the profit in the pocket of the film company.

This time the "gravity" is undoubtedly a perfect opportunity for the harmony of the time, the place and the people. As a result, the team of innovative artists agency, led by Andy Rogers, is trying their best to fight for the top treatment for lanli, which is also the core reason why the cooperation negotiation has never been completed.

Now, Barry has come to London in person. Compared with the significance of the pay figures, what is more important is Warner Brothers' recognition and approval of lenley, or the six major film companies' affirmation and support of lenley. This also means that after signing the "gravity" contract, Langley will officially become a member of the top of the pyramid.

In addition, the strategic position of the sequels of "gravity" and "tomorrow's edge" is divorced from the number itself, revealing a more long-term blueprint, which can give a glimpse of Warner Brothers' ambition.

Although Langley can't see through Barry's abacus, nor is he clear about Warner Brothers' plan, he can be sure that Barry is not aimless in the whole conversation today. As the CEO of Warner Brothers and one of Hollywood's most powerful tycoons, Barry is definitely looking for more than just an actor.

However, for an actor who can sell 500 million in North America and 1.1 billion in the world, Barry is very willing to go out in person and seek long-term cooperation. Just like Christopher Nolan, this is undoubtedly one of Barry's most successful personal collaborations.

Lan Li could not help showing a smile, "it seems that in the next period of time, our cooperation will continue."

"If I can, I don't mind this kind of cooperation lasting longer." Barry's eyes twinkled slightly and said meaningfully, then the conversation turned and said strongly, "no matter how you choose, I hope the signing can be completed in the next four weeks."

Time, for the "gravity" crew, for Warner Brothers, is particularly urgent. This summer, "tomorrow's edge" unexpectedly became a new force against the "Avengers alliance", but next year? And the year after that? Warner Brothers needs to speed up the pace and complete the layout.

"Alfonso Caron said that the preliminary technical work of the crew has been basically completed. Now, he needs to identify the actors to complete the remaining preparatory work to ensure that the film can be shot according to the plan." Barry didn't stop to listen to the meaning of Langley, and poured out all the words.

"By the way, we have made an appointment for a studio in November. The film will be shot in the UK. Our studio in Surrey is ready. The whole shooting schedule is expected to be one to two months. I don't quite understand the details, but I believe your agent can give a more accurate answer."

Talk to yourself, talk on and on. The whole discourse is completely self-centered, pouring out all the contents. It is not so much to consult or talk with each other as to unilaterally announce all the results. The strong style of giving orders from the bottom of the bones has been brought into full play.

Lanli looked at Barry quietly, and didn't respond.

Barry frowned and caught the look in Lan Li's eyes. He was also silent and didn't speak.

For a moment, the atmosphere is so stiff in the same place, two people seem to have some posture, gradually evolved into the momentum of the fight.

In the end, it was lanli's light laughter that broke the situation.

However, without the slightest worry, he still kept a relaxed attitude. "Mr. Meyer, obviously, you treat me as a producer, but in fact, I'm just an actor, and I have very limited understanding of the work outside the performance."

For Lan Li, whether it's a 20 million club or a 10% box office bonus, it's extremely rare. He has no problem choosing any one. Before, Lan Li nodded and agreed to the "gravity" acting invitation, he did not consider the issue of film remuneration.

So is the sequel to the edge of tomorrow.

This is the second time that lanli repeated similar content in today's conversation. Instead of being angry, Barry smiles, "I'm a businessman. The only thing I can talk about is the pay, the market and the future planning; As for the part of film making and artistic creation, this is not my strong point. The only thing I can say is that I like the finished product of "tomorrow's edge."

Simple words with a trace of humor, but it is to reveal some real temperament.

"In a way, we've reached a consensus, haven't we?" Lanli focuses on performance, while Barry focuses on profit. Their ultimate goal is the same. They create a wonderful work in different ways.

Lanli's way of expression made Barry's smile more brilliant. "In fact, for the producer, you have a little misunderstanding. The producer is not only a person in charge of budget management, public relations management, publicity management and shooting management, but also a very detailed division of labor in a huge Hollywood crew. "

"For producers who are actors, their task is to provide a richer perspective for the film from the perspective of actors. For example, how to shape the characters and how the characters interact with the plot; Another example is how the actor's performance style and the director should cooperate, and how the performance between the supporting actor and the protagonist should be arranged. And so on.

When really good actors become producers, they can become catalysts for their works to become better, such as Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep. "

Outside of work, the rare long speech revealed Barry's advice and guidance to Langley. He is reminding lanli that if he wants to be a better actor, or even an actor who has a deeper understanding of the whole work, then the producer will be the most direct training post.

Barry's words remind Langley of Tom Cruise.

In the last life, Tom gradually fell into a patterned film routine. No matter what movies he made, he seemed to have the same role and the same pattern, including the "edge of tomorrow" which was widely praised. In fact, this is the result of Tom, as an actor, branding his personal style on his works as a producer.

However, lanli has not yet reached such a high level to control all the details from an overall perspective“ The sequel of "tomorrow's edge", conceived from the creative stage, may be an opportunity; And Barry's subtext just now, does it imply that "gravity" will be the first opportunity to come?

Barry raised his whisky and drank it. "I think we all have a lot to learn, right?" After that, Barry put the cup on the table and sat up straight. "Today, you have experienced another busy working day, so I won't disturb your rest time. I hope we can have dinner together next time and have a good talk about some unimportant anecdotes."

That's the hint of leaving.

This time, Langley didn't refuse. He was really tired.

After standing up, Barry left the cash on the table. As they walked, they left the bar and got into their cars. They said goodbye and left.

The whole conversation process is vigorous, crisp and informative; After the end, need to be quiet down, slowly aftertaste.

Originally, lanli was ready to discuss with Andy for the first time, but after he got home and finished bathing, he fell asleep and was unconscious. There is no breathing space for performances in the west end. The dual challenges of energy and physical strength can not be ignored.

It's dawn.

After getting up in the morning, he started the rest day with a cup of coffee. While enjoying breakfast, Nathan reminded lanli in time whether he needed to tell Andy about the meeting last night. Lanli recovered and quickly dialed the other side of the Atlantic Ocean to find Andy.

Andy at the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, took a deep breath, took a deep breath again, and at last he couldn't laugh or cry. "Do you mean, Barry Meyer, CEO of Warner Bros., had a very peaceful rest last night after he offered a top-notch reward?"

Why does it make people want to laugh?
