Chapter 1765

Thomas - tour is a smart man, he knows that the real decision-making and choice of film companies, after all, or interests.

Lang Meyer is concerned about the capital chain of legend film, so he has to bow down. This is the reason why tour can compete with Langley positively; Similarly, now Lang Meyer has chosen to support Langley, breaking the tacit understanding of cooperation between tour and Lang Meyer, which means that interests have lost balance, and Langley now has the upper hand.

As the helmsman of the legendary film industry, Toure can see a higher pattern. He has faintly smelled out the abnormality: Sony classics, Warner Brothers, Disney, one after another action. If he can't see it again, he is blind.

The problem is that each of the company's leaders is an old fox. Even Kevin towon, he can't ignore the company's interests because of his personal grudges - towon's tit for tat confrontation with Toure's in the public face, on the premise that Warner Brothers' company interests are also on the opposite side of Toure's. Now, they are all standing by lanli's side. There is something fishy about it!

Although Toure has not been able to detect the layout of Langley in advance, and although Toure has not been able to detect the action of Sisyphus film for the time being, this is enough. Toure has been able to make a situation judgment: now Langley's absolute strength has broken the balance, so Universal Pictures has also made a choice.

Prior to diesel's uproar in the office, Toure was being held accountable.

On the surface, tour is in a rage, denouncing Lang Meyer's self assertive decision on the actor of "Jurassic Park" in disregard of the cooperative relationship, and also attaching 10% of the box office bonus with a stroke of pen, which is absolutely unforgivable - because it means that in the crew, Langley and tour are equal.

Diesel was downstairs, while tour was upstairs.

Toure's anger is no less than that of diesel. He left Warner Brothers and turned to Universal Pictures. He didn't want to be a receiver. He needed to be a real power producer. He needed to play a more important role in the process of film production. He needed to master the actual power and just sit behind the scenes to plan, It was no longer enough to satisfy his pride.

But now universal has slapped him in the face?

It's even worse than Kevin tohara! How could tour swallow his anger? Even if he razed the place to the ground, he could not calm his anger.

But tour is not a diesel, and he disdains to be a diesel.

In fact, the focus of accountability never lies in the accountability itself, but in the expression of attitude and position. Only when we clearly convey our anger can we make enough efforts for the later tug of war; They are no longer children, and universal pictures and legend pictures are not shell companies that are casually pulled up with a million dollars. The cooperation can't end here, but how to cooperate in the future and how to define the relationship between the two sides need to be considered in the long run.

Tour knows that, and so does Lang Meyer.

Diesel is just venting his emotions and expressing his dissatisfaction, while tour and Meyer's perseverance and sparkle are the advantages of building momentum.

Then, the quarrel was interrupted by diesel's mischief, and Meyer left the conference room.

But in a sense, it was Mayer who did it on purpose. Under the pretext of diesel, it actually left room for both of them to think and a step for both of them.

When Meyer returned to the conference room again, the real game had just begun.

"You know, I can't compromise. If you insist on using lanli, legendary pictures will have to quit the production of Jurassic Park. "

It's an ultimatum.

Toure is more intelligent than diesel. He chose to break his strong man's wrist and threaten Meyer by formally withdrawing. This is also the final bottom line to test Meyer. He needs to know how much the value of Langley has reached.

Before Mayer even had time to sit down, tur had already made a preemptive move. His action stopped for a moment, and then he sat down slowly, with a dignified expression. Between the lightning and flint, he had already made a decision. "We don't want things to come to this stage. I know how much you attach importance to this project, but if this is the only choice, Then I can only express my regret. "

Actually agreed!

The mode of cooperation between universal pictures and legend pictures is not subordinate, but equal. Legend pictures has the right to choose which works to invest, and those projects rejected by Legend pictures are invested and produced by Universal Pictures.

In the same way, the reverse is true. Universal pictures can't completely rely on legend pictures. They also have to make their own choices in advance, which works need the participation of legend pictures and which don't. Although legend pictures has the right of first choice, its role is only to share the risks, reduce the burden and share the benefits for Universal Pictures. The operation of Universal Pictures itself must continue.

That's what happened with the Jurassic Park restart series.

Universal Pictures hopes to open up the potential of the monster universe with this work, which is bound to be a huge project, so they need the investment of legendary pictures to share the risk; But without the support of legendary pictures, would universal pictures give up? The answer is obviously No.

Now, Mayer's attitude can't be clearer: they chose Langley.

This can be called absolutely not give up!

Rather than give up the risk sharing ability of legend film, Mayer also refuses to give up the market influence of lanli. In other words, it's lanli's potential for the whole monster universe.

Tour can't say he didn't expect it at all.

More accurately, it should be expected - since Meyer has decided to sign a contract with Langley over tour, it means that they have completed the internal balance of interests, and now the choice is in a continuous line; Now tour is still slightly surprised that Meyer is so determined.

He needs to reassess the situation.

Blue gift blue gift blue gift.

TUR's mind rolled again. He had no personal grudge against Langley, but... He really couldn't like this aggressive guy!

If it wasn't for Langley, how could he be so passive? On the surface, he emphasizes that he is an actor, but in fact, he always refuses to let go of the pay, greedy and ugly. To be honest, he can't see the essential difference between Langley and diesel. In the final analysis, they are all vultures revolving around interests. Now I'm eating his meat and drinking his blood, but I want him to smile!

damn!

Just a moment of breathing, many thoughts flashed through his mind. He had to put his personal preferences aside for a while, although it was not easy. Make a fist, make a fist, make a fist again. But still can't control, the inner anger again like a volcano blowout out. Damn blue!

At last, he took a long breath and managed to control his mood.

In fact, Meyer's words just now have more details worthy of slow interpretation: he did not make a choice in a tit for tat attitude, but expressed regret and then euphemistically expressed his decision. The subtext is that no matter what, it is imperative to choose lanli; The right of choice is in Toure's hands. If legend is still willing to stay, they welcome it, but if legend chooses to leave, they also accept it.

After a moment's deliberation, tour looked at Meyer again. "Ten percent of the box office bonus? You know how ridiculous that condition is, don't you? "

Objectively speaking, even if a few cases of front-line actors in the industry, such as Johnny Depp and Robert Downey Jr., are not included, 10% of the box office bonus is already very rare. Because of all the profits of the film production company, the proportion that can be divided into the crew is about 40%.

This 40% is divided up by producers, directors, actors and screenwriters. The fixed total amount is constant. If someone increases the proportion, someone will lose their interests. This is also the reason why diesel has been fighting all the time. Those influences are actually on the bank account figures.

If Tom Cruise is the only big name in the cast, he, who is also the leading actor and producer, can take about 25% of the bonus; It's Tom Cruise, too. When he and Steven Spielberg worked together to shoot "World War", they shared about 35% of the bonus, and Steven accounted for 20%. That's why Tom Cruise didn't like to cooperate with famous directors and actors.

Back to lanli, an actor gets 10% of the box office bonus, which means that other actors, directors, producers and so on in any production group may not be able to use big names, otherwise the interests of the film company will be affected. Especially for major producers like tour, their main income is box office bonus.

Now, lanli not only splits up 10% of the box office bonus, but also needs to take away 20 million yuan of film base salary - which also means that one fifth of the $100 million investment projects will go into lanli's pocket. Compared with Warner Brothers, this is a qualitative leap.

Tour's light words are as heavy as a thousand, but Meyer is still unmoved, "have you heard the latest trend of Disney?"

Toor blinked. There was no change in his expression.

"With a 7% box office bonus and a base salary of 20 million US dollars, they invited Langley to play in an unnamed Star Wars film. On the condition that there is only one film. " Meyer specially emphasized the last sentence, which is the most shocking part of the whole cooperation conditions.

"Star Wars" series, which is the cultural industry giant that the entire North American market must look up to, and now even Disney has set its sights on lanli, and has made concessions.

Isn't that enough?
