Chapter 1045

For Barry Meyer's personal visit, Andy Rogers was really surprised, but not shocked.

Strictly speaking, this is the expected result. It can even be said that it is the result of Andy's continuous efforts and efforts with the innovative artists agency. Now everything is going on as planned, and his inner joy is born. However, Andy soon controls his mood, because there is more work to be done next.

In the face of lanli's calmness and calm, it's not so much helpless as joking. Andy can't help laughing. "To sum up, Barry's conversation last night is two parts, one is the sequel of tomorrow's edge, and the other is the reward of gravity, right? Did Barry mention the cast and crew arrangements in the sequel? "

"If he can, he wants to continue the old team. Now Warner Brothers is inviting the author of the original novel to write a second novel; At the same time, our original team gathered together to brainstorm and provide more inspiration for the film sequel story. Obviously, Barry still attaches great importance to scripts and stories. "

After a brief summary in three or two sentences, Langley joked again, "at least for some special reasons. Last night, he made such a statement."

The subtext is to make fun of the businessman's nature. For the sake of profit, he tells lies by no means. There is a set on the surface and a set on the back, especially in the actual shooting of film works, the uncertain factors are even more unpredictable.

Of course, now the two sides have not signed any paper agreement. Before seeing the script, Langley can refuse to sign it or even play in the sequel, which is also his right.

On this point, Langley and Barry are equal, and both sides have the right to choose; Strictly speaking, the booming blue rite also takes more initiative.

Andy immediately understood the deep meaning of lanli's words. The smile on the corner of his mouth remained the same, but he didn't respond, "I understand. As for the sequel to tomorrow's edge, I will continue to follow up in Los Angeles. "

For the sequel, the contents and ways of cooperation are quite different. Not only the treatment of lanli needs to be further improved, but also the signing and arrangement of the original crew need to be carefully discussed. The most direct example is the preparation of the sequel of "speed and passion".

In addition, the innovative artists agency also hopes to further deepen the packaging cooperation in the sequel project, and strive for more potential benefits. Sequel of the cooperation, which will obviously be another long-term tug of war.

Fortunately, I haven't even written eight characters yet, so I don't have to worry for the time being.

"Now, let's talk about the pay." Andy quickly returned to the focus of today's work, "before officially entering the topic of Barry Meyer, do you know how much money 'tomorrow's edge' can bring?"

Andy knows that lanli doesn't care about the pay, so before a formal conversation, he needs to make sure that lanli has a basic understanding of the pay.

"For the time being, let's lower our target and calculate it in terms of $400 million in North America." At the time of this conversation, the North American box office of "tomorrow's edge" has not yet exceeded 400 million, but it is about to break through. Professionals have already begun to discuss the possibility of 500 million, but Andy still has no ambition, "then, your film payment will reach 30 million, of course, this is the pre tax data."

Thirty million dollars?

Blue Li's eyebrow tail gently raised, the accident, more or a sense of absurdity, gently laughed out a voice, "are you sure you don't count more than a zero?" Three million and 30 million, which are two sets of data that are very different.

In lanli's career, film payment has never been the focus of attention; What's more, independent film companies make up the majority of the works, so the film pay is even less likely to be too high. When "tomorrow's edge" signed the contract, it was incredible to get 10 million yuan. But with 5% of the box office bonus, now lanli can get 30 million dollars——

If the final North American box office of "tomorrow's edge" is 550 million, then the actual pre tax film remuneration of lanli should be 37.5 million US dollars.

How incredible is this number? In short, it's the same level as Robert Downey Jr. in the past decade, the actors, directors or producers in Hollywood who can get such remuneration will never reach double figures.

This also means that with the help of "tomorrow's edge", lanli becomes a god step by step.

"Yes, I'm sure; Otherwise, I should change the accountant now. " Andy joked, "believe me, lenley, you deserve it."

In fact, deep down, Andy is as surprised as lenley.

At the beginning, when Langley came to the fore with the help of the "Pacific War", Andy once boldly imagined that within three years, Langley would be able to enter the front line and make some achievements, but this is only the most ideal state. Who can think that now Langley has far reached a higher level, and even further entered the ranks of top stars, Everything is amazing.

However, along with Langley, Andy clearly understands that every step of Langley is so solid and firm. As he himself said, that's what Langley deserves.

"Recently, the six major Hollywood film companies have invited projects. I mean, the minimum pay for commercial films has reached 15 million." Andy gives further substantial evidence.

What Andy didn't say is that, including universal pictures, a consensus has been reached in Hollywood on this film payment standard, which comes from the affirmation of the whole industry to lenley.

In the view of the innovative artists agency, 15 million is still not in line with the value of lanli, and 20 million club is their goal. Therefore, they are actively striving for lanli, expecting lanli to become another top star of their company——

At present, among the five major Hollywood agents, the innovative artists agent has the largest number of 20 million club members. At the same time, they are also the first agent in history to negotiate a 20 million film reward, contributing to the superstar value of Hollywood.

"So what's your suggestion?" Blue Li clearly and gently closed jaw, seriously answered.

In the face of such a reply, Andy can't help but cry and laugh and say, "Mr. Langley hall, do you know what the 30 million movie payment means? You're a multimillionaire now, and that's all your reaction? "

"Mr. Andy Rogers, I know. It means that you can get a 3 million dollar Commission. So, have you decided to retire now?" The smile on the corner of lanli's mouth rose slightly, making a joke on Andy.

At the other end of the phone, you can clearly feel Andy's silence. Lanli closed his jaw to express satisfaction, and then said, "yes, I don't plan to retire either. Obviously, there are more jobs waiting ahead."

For Lan Li, film payment is not crucial. Affluence has a rich lifestyle, and poverty also has a limited living space. Money can really influence the quality of life, but mentality is the core of determining the depth and width of life.

Of course, now that he has more income, it also means that lanli really gets rid of the shackles of the family and has more freedom to choose in the future; At the same time, the heather Cross Foundation will also receive a new donation, which is undoubtedly a good thing.

"I have some ideas in my mind now, such as buying a house in Honolulu or almafi, and then buying a car in London, but... These ideas will not work in a short time. Remember? I'm so busy with my work that I can't spare time.

So, Mr. Andy Rogers, let's talk about our future work. As for the distribution and use of income, I will give my bank account to Matthew Dunlop for management, which is really not my strong point. "

The expression is relaxed, the tone is light, and lanli is joking with a light smile, which makes Andy shake his head again. But after thinking about it, he still doesn't hold back and makes a light smile, "lanli, you know, sometimes, you can really make people gnash their teeth."

"You have to line up, I think. There are enough journalists, plus those who have offended in the industry, so the list is not too short. " Lanli's self mockery makes Andy silent again.

"My suggestion is..." Andy decided to ignore it and get back to the point. "Before confirming my suggestion, I need to ask what you think of gravity. What kind of science fiction movie is this

In recent years, the performance of science fiction films in the North American market has gradually begun to be unstable. There are not only "Avatar" and "Star Trek" works, but also "super warship" and "key No. 4" works.

Major film companies are becoming more cautious when investing in sci-fi works. Even Steven Spielberg and JJ Abrams have created Super 8, and paramount has only given a budget of 50 million. Therefore, when "tomorrow's edge" was put into shooting, people in the industry were generally not optimistic.

Now we're on top of gravity, too.

If the North American box office of "gravity" can exceed 200 million, then choose 10% of the box office bonus; If not, choose 20 million dollars.

But this is also a very complicated arithmetic problem. No matter Barry Meyer or Andy Rogers, including Alfonso Caron, they are not sure how the box office performance of "gravity" is. Of course, this is also the arithmetic problem that Disney must complete before signing contracts with Johnny Depp and little Robert Downey.

In terms of probability, the North American box office of "gravity" is difficult to exceed 200 million after all. Therefore, in the interior of creative artists agency, they are still inclined to agree to 20 million film remuneration, join 20 million clubs, and establish their position in the industry; But Andy has a different idea in his heart.

For lanli, Andy always has a sense of confidence, even if there is no evidence, but Andy is willing to believe that lanli's "gravity" can break out a greater box office potential.
