Chapter 1753

Looking at Andy, who is rarely lost in thought, Langley can't help but feel a little novel, but also rarely does he make fun of him. Instead, he simply says, "Andy, Disney's abacus is obviously more than one 'Grand Theft one', but that's a headache for the other five major film companies, not us."

Andy is still immersed in his own thoughts, just like when lanli spied into the new world of acting, the emotion of shock and joy mixed together is really indescribable; And that's what happened to Andy now. He breathed out, "I know." But the truth is the truth, but the actual situation is still unable to apply mechanically.

Lenley said nothing more.

Andy is also a smart man. He can sort out his ideas without too much instruction from Langley. It's enough just to be instructed by a dragonfly. Now, instead, lanli relaxes, savors the hot coffee, distinguishes the sour taste with the tip of his tongue, and slowly enjoys the aroma.

After Andy regained his mind, what he saw was such a scene. He was helpless with his complacent manner. He said half jokingly, "I've never seen you panic. It seems that the Himalayas have collapsed in front of your eyes, and you won't be interested at all."

"If the world is destroyed, then the whole world will fall into disaster. At least, death is no longer lonely. Why should I be afraid?" Lanli's reply stunned Andy, and then understated, "what's more, those who see me panicking have become dead."

Looking at Lan Li's serious and bluffing appearance, there was no sharp look in his eyes and eyebrows. On the contrary, he was a bit naughty with a youthful spirit. It can be seen that Lan Li was in a very good mood tonight, which can't help but infect Andy and finally smile with relief.

"I haven't seen the world before." Andy made fun of himself, then restrained his smile a little. Even the smile that he always used to wear on the corner of his mouth disappeared, showing a rare serious look. He looked at Lan Li and said.

"Do you know? Since egot, your career has been developing better and better, and things are getting better and better. Now you are at the top of the pyramid of Hollywood, and you have really reached the height of looking at all the mountains; In addition to the recent overall planning, even the six major film companies are included in it. I gradually feel that things should become different. You are no longer a simple actor or even a simple producer. We should have a deeper and broader perspective. "

No self blame, no sadness, no depression, but serious reflection.

In the spotlight of vanity fair, "reflection" is just the most difficult thing. It is even more difficult at the peak of complacency, because there is no need to reflect at all. The aura of success makes people believe that everything is right; Often only after falling to the bottom, after all the aura and attention are gone, in the depression and loneliness, can we wake up and re-examine our life.

Today, Andy shows a rare quality.

"Obviously, my arrogance has eaten up my right judgment in dealing with things." Andy smiles again and laughs at himself.

"But now I know that chessmen are chessmen. No matter how powerful they are, they can't escape the pattern of chessmen. It's not a bad thing. However, the chess pieces have the world of the chess pieces, the chess players have the world of the chess players, and above the chess players there is the world of the creator. Who knows? Everyone thinks they control the world, but they are not the controllers of their own destiny. Do you think everyone wants to play God

There is no entanglement of negative emotions, but objective statement of facts. It can be seen that Andy has a lot of insights today.

Lanli didn't say much, but simply said, "Andy, do you think Steven Spielberg is a chess player or a chess player?"

Steven Spielberg, who started as a director, is known as one of the four major Hollywood directors in the 1980s. But he was not born with a golden spoon. He was born in an ordinary Jewish family in Ohio. While studying, he went to Arizona to find his own film dream. He is a typical grassroots civilian with a family background in the middle of the country.

Before shooting "great white shark", he had been rolling in Hollywood for nearly ten years. He had a certain talent and got a certain appreciation, but more of them were questioned; But now, he has become the most important member of the top of the Hollywood pyramid. He really has the qualification to call the wind and the rain, and is equal to the six major film companies.

Langley looked at Andy with a smile, and then said, "the biggest difference between Britain and the United States is that Britain still follows the class concept, and the aristocracy still has privileges; The United States, on the other hand, completely abandoned the accumulation of culture and history, advocated civilian culture, and climbed up with its own hands. Therefore, most British prime ministers are from the elite class; But the United States has Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama. "

In short, even in Hollywood and Wall Street, personal power has the possibility of climbing to the peak of capital, which is the essence of the "American Dream" publicized in films and novels.

Andy returned to his usual appearance again, "you are changing the concept."

But Lan Li didn't care, "that's because you changed the concept first."

Andy means that individual power can't compete with the whole company - Bob egger's energy comes from the huge capital of Disney; What Langley means is that personal power can also be the master of dominating capital - if Andy's appeal and influence reach enough height, then he can be on an equal footing with Bob.

Both of them are changing their concepts, and both of them are blurring their definitions, but the core idea is clear: Andy is lamenting his frog behavior in the well, reflecting on his recent complacency; But the blue Li is comforting Andy's self abasement, now does not have the game qualifications does not represent the future does not have.

Andy and lanli are just like children bickering, accusing each other childishly, which makes Andy smile again.

Lan Li didn't keep on pestering, and took the initiative to change the topic, "so this time, who is in charge of the fate of grand theft one?"

Disney's planning is one thing, and grand theft one's project is another. The subtext of lanli is that if lanli only cooperates with Disney on "grand theft one", then the two sides will have a mutually beneficial cooperative relationship. Whether they can continue to cooperate in the future is still unknown; But if, like Marvel movies, Langley has to sign up for more than one project and hand over his fate to Disney, that's another matter.

Andy immediately understood, gently jaw, but do not know is to agree or surrender, or other more profound meaning, "you." Andy replied.

"We're only going to sign up for one grand theft one." Andy went on to explain, "if the same character appears in any Disney work in the future, you have the right to decide whether to play it or not, without any constraints."

Blue Li gently jaw head.

Andy stopped for a moment, didn't hear Langley's question, so he continued, "about the script, I've just said; In terms of film remuneration, the proportion of 20 million US dollars plus box office bonus is 7% before 300 million US dollars in North America and 6% after 300 million US dollars in North America. "

Not long ago, lanli signed a contract with Warner Bros. to play "Star Trek". His film payment has reached a new high in the industry: 20 million US dollars plus 6% of the box office bonus, which has officially opened a new situation after the "20 million club"——

The existing 20 million club members can imitate this request and increase the proportion of box office bonus; And now those popular actors who have not yet been able to join the 20 million club can also start to pursue higher guaranteed film salaries and box office dividends. It's a benchmark for Hollywood.

Disney, on the other hand, once again raised the pay figures of blue Lee.

Strictly speaking, there are not many improvement figures.

If the box office of "Grand Theft Auto 1" in North America exceeds 300 million, the dividend ratio after 300 million US dollars will be 6%, which is equal to gravity. In other words, even if the final box office number of "Grand Theft Auto 1" is consistent with gravity, the film reward will only increase by 1% (from 6% to 7%) of that before 300 million US dollars, That's three million dollars.

If the North American box office of "grand theft one" is less than 300 million, then the "so-called 7% box office bonus" is less than 3 million US dollars, which is one percent higher than that of "gravity".

In other words, Disney showed its sincerity and attitude with $3 million, and further pushed the industry pay of lanli to a new high, establishing its "positive" image in the industry.

What's more, Disney has made a dent in Universal Pictures. What should be done about the pay of "Jurassic Park"? If they choose to give up lanli, then everything is easy to say; If they are still reluctant to let go, then the pay must be raised again to show their sincerity.

Thomas tour and Ron Meyer are really having a headache now. Compared with Warner Brothers, Disney's decision is definitely better.

No wonder Andy has a deep feeling for Bob's methods.

"There are some additional rights and interests. Bob hardly has any bargaining. His only requirement is that he wants you to be a producer for Disney and be responsible for several works of nominal name. If you are willing to direct them personally, it would be better. He is very happy to see you become a real producer instead of a nominal name. He didn't include the conditions in the scope of cooperation for the time being, but expressed his willingness, thinking that it was just an additional surprise, but... You know. "

Brilliant, really brilliant!

Even if Langley didn't talk to Bob face to face in person, he could feel the sophistication of Bob egger.
