Chapter 1474

The game of improving film pay is a contest between the brokerage company and the production company. Only when all conditions are met, can we break the shackles. If we act too hastily or make too much effort, it may be too late.

At present, Langley, ego's aura is booming, and all the brokerage companies in Hollywood are ready to move. After taking over van diesel's brokerage contract, international innovation management company has temporarily stopped its efforts. It means to put down the internal contradictions and solve the external contradictions together. After all, it's just the promotion of Langley's salary, Then it was all the brokerage firms that made money.

But who would have thought that Lan Li, as the party concerned, had put forward an appropriate and appropriate number of film remuneration?

It's an art! So, is this the number set by Andy Rogers or the number set by Langley?

But then, Emma came up with another idea: according to the style and character of Langley, he has no idea about the film payment, and always takes on the posture of a professional actor. So, is the current figure the result of Andy's compromise with Langley? There was no aggressiveness, no radical greed.

If so, it is more in line with the style and posture of blue Li. Does that mean that the number was set by Langley?

Thinking of this, Emma's heart beat missed a beat.

Hidden under the skin of hereditary nobles and professional actors, lanli is far more intelligent and sagacious than he imagined.

If we can know what Emma is thinking now, she will give applause because she guessed half right and half wrong.

The demand for film payment is indeed the compromise result after the argument between lanli and Andy. It's not that Lan Li is so proud that he doesn't care about the higher pay; It's because Langley knows the rules of the industry——

The success of Johnny Depp and Robert Downey Jr.'s super high pay depends not only on the sequel, but also on the huge profits of peripheral products, which can also be considered as one of the achievements brought about by the derivatives of Marvel series, DC series and other series of films or novel adapted films.

With its current position in the industry, it's no problem to strive for higher film pay. However, just relying on a "Star Trek" to break the shackles of the past decade, its weight is still slightly insufficient.

Once the number of film payment negotiations is too greedy, it is bound to cause more rebounds from the six major film companies, and things will start to become more complicated. Especially now, the high-level turmoil of Warner Bros. is still ongoing, which may also affect the work related to "Jurassic Park" and "speed and passion".

Andy is an agent. He has to be more ambitious and aggressive; But Langley is just an actor. He just wants to play "Star Trek". He just wants to work with Christopher Nolan. He just wants to concentrate on the performance and improve the pay, OK? Of course! But if the process of increasing the film pay will affect his work, he will not be so enthusiastic.

At the end of the day, he doesn't have much interest in the division of interests and power in Hollywood.

Lanli's attitude really makes Andy a little depressed, but he can't refute it. The conversation gets stuck for a while.

Finally, Matthew Dunlop, as a spectator, completed the calculation of the figure: 20 million base salary and 5% bonus. This is Matthew's conclusion, which accurately pinches the throat of the production company, so that they can not refuse, and can make a small step forward on Andy's demand.

Everything is just right.

Although we don't know the true face of the hero behind the scenes, it doesn't affect Emma's accurate judgment.

Emma wanted to agree directly, but as a producer, he instinctively began to bargain, because this is her job, "20 million plus 3% dividend."

Lan Li seemed to have expected such a result for a long time. He had a big smile on his face. His understatement revealed his confidence and calm, "20 million plus 6% dividend."

Not only did it not decrease, but it also increased.

It's not a slap in the face, it's an attitude.

Langley is showing his attitude: he doesn't mind, but it doesn't mean he can be despised.

Although, blue Li never cares about the number of film pay; But those figures are his rewards, the most direct and intuitive rewards for his work, his ability and his efforts. Belong to him, he will never give in; If it doesn't belong to him, he won't be greedy. It's a way of dealing with people.

Looking at blue Li's expression and look, Emma reacted instantly.

The smile at the bottom of her eyes began to roll. Emma did not hesitate to believe that if she continued to lower the number of film payment, then lanli would continue to raise the number. Her confidence and firmness in refusing to give in inadvertently showed her wisdom and maturity that were not in line with her youth, making people realize that:

At such a young age, I have come to the top of the pyramid of the whole industry, and there is absolutely no reason.

"Is that your bottom line?" Emma asked tentatively.

Lan Li shook his head unexpectedly and said with a smile, "that's the requirement."

Emma accidentally opened her mouth. "If we are willing to make higher demands, are you not willing to accept them?"

"No, I'm happy with it." Lan Li answered cleanly.

Emma was a little stunned, and then laughed happily, and returned to the theme, "now the preparation of the whole film project stays in the same place for the time being, we are trying to find the most appropriate cooperation scheme, so in a short time, we can't make decisions about budget, CASS, film remuneration and so on."

"But the conversation was never meant to be a joke." Before the misunderstanding, Emma said ahead of time, "to be honest, if you can play in this project, it's one of the things I can't wait for. So, as a producer and Chris as a director, we can agree to your terms, and I will try my best to persuade other producers. What do you think? "

Lan Li raised his chin, gently pulled the smile from the corner of his mouth, showing a clear look, "of course. of course! This is always the case with large production projects. "

But lanli thought of "Jurassic Park" to restart the project. Steven Spielberg and Frank Marshall, two producers, have basically made a decision, but because of the existence of Thomas tour, things have not been determined. The game between producers and producers, producers and agents is not so easy.

Now, "Star Trek" can also be said to be the same situation. Christopher Nolan and Emma Thomas have already nodded their heads, but they still need to consider more situations. The tug of war between Warner Brothers and legendary pictures is still the top priority. Even the Christopher couple can't promise more now.

I don't know whether it's a marriage or a bad marriage. Thomas tour can be seen in both projects. Although Langley and Thomas haven't met yet, it's certain that the solution is not so easy.

Emma then said, "but in order to increase persuasion and cooperation sincerity, I have a small additional request. I hope you can seriously consider it."

Lan Li cast his eyes and waited for the following.

"Twenty million dollars, that's no problem." Emma simply said that there are very few top actors worth 20 million in the whole Hollywood, and Langley is undoubtedly one of them. "Five percent of the box office bonus is acceptable, but the premise is that the box office in North America must exceed 200 million."

It's been calculated before——

If it's less than 200 million, the production company can stop the loss in time. It's just like when Kim Carrey starred in "cable repairman" for 20 million. It was as far back as 1996. For a comedy movie, nearly half of the cost was spent on the actor's pay. Later, the box office in North America was only 60 million, which made Sony Pictures lose no temper.

If it is higher than 200 million, the production company will win more profit margin. Compared with the 5% dividend ratio, the box office appeal of lanli can break through the threshold of 200 million or even higher, so the percentage number is no longer important, because no matter how high the percentage number of dividend, they have earned it.

After a round, Emma returned to her responsibilities again, adding, "it's an additional chip that can help me convince other producers. Although you now have two North American films with a box office of 200 million, commercial films are not your strong point after all. We need more confidence. "

Langley strongly doubts that his just saying "this is always the case with large-scale production projects", in which the extended meaning of Thomas tour is now understood by Emma.

Like Jurassic Park, Thomas tour's location is still one of the biggest problems, at least one.

In order to persuade Thomas Toure, in order to make Thomas Toure give in, Emma now put on a sincere cooperation posture.

As for how much of this gesture is honest advice, and how much is the producer's retreat, it is not known.

According to the data of the last generation, the box office of "Star Trek" in North America is 188 million, but it failed to exceed 200 million, even lower than that of "Ninja Turtle" released in the same year, ranking 16th in the year-end box office of North America in 2014.

But Lan Li did not hesitate too much, "no problem."

The magnitude of the number has reached, so there is no need to investigate the details of the implementation. The reason why the strategy of boiling frogs in warm water can work is that the temperature can continue to rise, and it also lies in making it unconsciously. As for what kind of pot and water to use, this is not the core problem.

Blue Li's crisp let Emma face appeared a big smile, "that's the best. Chris and I are really looking forward to working with you. I'm looking forward to it now. "
