Chapter 277： Dunn, **** it!

Tang En's rhetoric was of course purposeful.

The "New York City", once invested by Miramax, had a budget cost of 100 million US dollars, and also divided up 10% of the box office dividends.

It is a very important thing for actors to receive box office dividends. Usually, it is only when the movie budget is tight and it is not enough to pay the actors' remuneration, or when the investment risk needs to be reduced.

Tom Cruise got huge pay and box office dividends in "Mission Impossible". The pay is the actor contract, and the dividend is the producer contract. Because the copyright of the project "Mission Impossible" is in the hands of Tom Cruise.

Even Robert Downey Jr., who was in full swing because of "Iron Man", was not able to get a penny of box office dividends during a series of performances.

Because Marvel Studios is not bad for money, isn't it just pay?

In the absence of budgetary pressure and risk pressure, Marvel Studios directly smashed the sky-high price of 40 million US dollars, and would not follow the dividend model at all.

Dunn gave "The New York Times" a budget of $120 million, just to cancel the 10% box office dividend. The film's global box office is nearly 200 million US dollars, and 10% is taken away, which is just the extra 20 million US dollars in the budget, which is just right for Martin and Leonardo.

Martin Scorsese's salary increased by 10 million to $15 million;

Leonardo Ricaprio's salary also increased by 10 million to the normal standard of 20 million US dollars;

That leaves Daniel Lewis at $4.5 million and Cameron Diaz at $500,000, with no changes required.

The four main creators have a total salary of 40 million US dollars, which is 20 million more than the original version, just right!

As a top-tier female star in Hollywood, Cameron Diaz is a traffic star, and the salary of 500,000 seems a bit small. After all, the movie she starred in has already paid more than 10 million US dollars.

However, she used to play some silly and sweet images. Now Martin Scorsese, the big director, helps her transform and challenge her new acting career. Still want money?

Not bad for a nominal $500,000!

In Hollywood, there are countless female stars who want to play Martin Scorsese's movies. If Cameron Diaz dares to say no, then he will be replaced directly.

Dunn's huge check of 120 million has indeed shaken Martin Scorsese's heart.

Money can make ghosts run the mill, and the famous Martin Scorsese is not exempt!

Sufficient financial security is a prerequisite for the success of the film!

"But...I have promised Harvey."

Martin Scorsese frowned deeply. He was very moved by Dunn's favorable conditions, but he couldn't bear this old face.

Tang En said with a smile: "Martin, I heard that you have been preparing for this project for decades?"

"Yeah, as early as 20 years ago, I had the intention to make this movie." Martin Scorsese sighed and shook his head, "It's just that a movie of the same type, "Heaven's Gate" was released at that time. , the box office fiasco, resulting in no studio willing to invest in the project."

Leonardo said heartlessly: "Yes, at that time, Tang En was just born!"

Tang En was a little angry and stared at Leonardo, "You have been preparing for this movie for so long, you must have wanted all the external conditions to be met. I heard... You originally intended to let Leon play the male lead? "

"Yeah...Huh?" Martin Scorsese seemed to understand something, his eyes lit up, "Can you convince him?"

Dunn smiled and said, "Martin, as long as you cooperate with Dunn Films, Leon will sign a contract and join the group!"

Martin Scorsese stared straight at Leonardo.

Leonardo seemed to have reacted to something, and slapped his thigh excitedly, "That's right, that's the truth! Hey, if Harvey asks you for an explanation, you can say that the role must be me!"

Dunn was a little surprised, but he didn't expect him to hit the road like this, and said loudly: "Yes! Dunn's ban on Disney is still there. It's impossible for Dunn to work with Miramax to make a film, so...Martin, if you want Leon, then Dunn Pictures is the only choice!"

Martin Scorsese narrowed his eyes and pondered a little.

Leonardo said impatiently: "Oh, what else is there to consider? Didn't you hear what Dunn said? He wants to invest 120 million US dollars!"

"This...I'll think about it..."

Martin Scorsese looked unnatural, waved again, and ordered three glasses of hard liquor.

...

"Martin? Is something wrong?"

Harvey Weinstein got a call from Martin Scorsese and was in high spirits.

Recently, he has been in high spirits!

In the past, Miramax hired some second-tier directors, or trained some top directors, such as Quentin Tarantino.

Now, he finally has a relationship with the most mainstream Hollywood director-Martin Scorsese!

Although the "New York City" project has many shortcomings, Miramax has a lot of controversy about investing in this film.

But Harvey Weinstein defied all disapproval and insisted on investing!

He has extensive contacts and influence in Hollywood, which is true, but his circle is mainly the independent film circle, and his appeal in the mainstream film circle is not strong.

So much so that in the selection of the chairman of Disney's production department, the stronger Harvey Weinstein was going to lose to Joe Ruth, who was born in Touchstone Pictures.

"The New York Times" is a door, a door that helped him open the mainstream market!

Moreover, just yesterday, through his personal connections, he carried the old Hong Kong film "Drunken Fist" released by Miramax, and stepped on the "Chainsaw" written by Dunn, all of which are said to have aroused the highest level of Disney Appreciate.

Martin Scorsese was drunk and alcoholic, "Harvey, that project... I'll let it go..."

Harvey Weinstein said with a smile: "Martin, have you been drinking? Haha, it seems to be in a good mood."

"I... I'm busy... I'll let you know that the cooperation is over." Martin Scorsese's articulation was not clear, and he had a big tongue.

Harvey Weinstein frowned. "Martin, the cooperation is terminated? What are you talking about?"

Martin Scorsese was a little impatient. "I'm saying, "The New York Times" doesn't need you to invest!"

Harvey Weinstein laughed, "Martin, are you drinking too much? What a joke!"

"I'm not joking!"

"Huh? Martin, you've been drinking too much. We'll talk when you wake up."

"No, it's not necessary!" Martin Scorsese said firmly, "I said, the end of the cooperation is the end of the cooperation, and there is no more!"

Harvey Weinstein said solemnly: "Martin, do you know what you are talking about? Without my investment, you would never have made the movie "The New York Times"!"

"That...that's not necessarily." Martin Scorsese smirked.

"It's impossible!" Harvey Weinstein categorically rejected, "The movie "The New York Times" does not meet the mainstream market at all. With such a high budget requirement, it is impossible for any film company to agree."

Martin Scorsese couldn't stop laughing, "Harvey, you...you're so naive, I'm Martin, Martin Scorsese! How come no one invests in my movie?"

Harvey Weinstein was on fire, how much did this Martin drink? He took a deep breath, "Okay, Martin, even if someone could invest, they wouldn't be able to make a huge budget of $80 million!"

"80 million? A lot?" Martin Scorsese hummed disdainfully.

"Martin!"

Harvey Weinstein was very upset, he seemed to hear a bit of sarcasm from the other party's toneMartin Scorsese smiled, "$120 million! Harvey, I can't help it either, Someone invested $120 million in me and promised to invite Leonardo Ricaprio to play the male lead, tell me, how could I refuse?"

"$120 million? That's impossible!"

Harvey Weinstein drank it flatly.

He has been engaged in movies for more than 20 years, and he has enough confidence in his vision and ability.

The movie "New York City", with an investment of 120 million US dollars, will definitely lose money!

"Harvey, you're out of date, Hollywood is the era of young people..." Martin Scorsese's voice became smaller and smaller, as if he was muttering to himself.

"young people?"

Harvey Weinstein shuddered.

In Hollywood, the name "young" seems to be a proper noun for a certain person!

Is it Dunn who was diagnosed?

how can that be? !

How dare he invest $120 million in the project "The New York Times"? Is he crazy?

Harvey Weinstein was astonished, as if the sky had collapsed.

Sure enough, I heard Martin Scorsese say: "Harvey, I have already decided that the project "New York Times" will cooperate with Dunn Films. Let's... If there is an opportunity in the future, let's cooperate again."

Harvey Weinstein listened to the busy tone of "Di Di" on the phone, and his whole body seemed to be drained of flesh and blood. He leaned back and lost his strength.

Dunn!

It's really him!

This **** is so pervasive!

Harvey Weinstein gritted his teeth and was furious, as if a bomb exploded in his heart, blowing up his internal organs and guts...

Dunn, **** it!
