Chapter 988： Moving idea

\"&　　"Of course, two checks for 20 million yuan. "Joseph shrugged and said of course, but after finishing speaking, he couldn't help but asked in confusion, "Why, what's wrong?" you do not believe? "

"No...no, no." Hugo dragged his own ending. Of course he believed, because he had witnessed the 20 million era of Hollywood with his own eyes.

After entering, it seems that the film has entered a bottleneck after it has risen to 20 million, because film costs cannot all be spent on actors, and the mainstream is still 20 million as the top standard, and actors’ pay cannot rise endlessly. Instead, the dividend ratio of actors is gradually increasing. Maybe their basic salary is still 20 million, but a 15% box office dividend can get them 60 million or 70 million in total.

Actors use this method to improve their status in Hollywood, and gradually change the status quo that actors have always been Hollywood powers.

For example, Johnny Depp received 56 million U.S. dollars in remuneration during the filming of "4". This figure is really shocking, but many reports did not make it clear. In fact, this remuneration does not include dividends. After Johnny signed a contract to take the pay, he couldn't pay dividends at the box office of the movie. In other words, Disney is equivalent to signing Johnny's contract with a salary of 20 million plus an advance dividend of 36 million, and then hope that the box office results obtained after the release of "" can be fully reaped. If they win, they get more benefits in dividends.

Therefore, Hugo was not surprised at the 20 million salary, he totally took it for granted. However, when he learned that he could also get the pay, Hugo still sighed.

Hugo looked at Joseph enthusiastically with a smile on his face, "Don’t you think it’s funny? Now a house in Malibu is worth more than ten million dollars, and a house in Beverly Hills is about twenty million— —Of course it’s not the best location. This may be money that many people have no way to spend in their lives, but for actors, it’s a movie. Of course, I know that taxes should be deducted, and maybe two movies are needed. ."

Joseph also knows that since the beginning of the 1990s, there have been discussions about whether actors' pay is too high, not only by production companies, but also by ordinary people. It's just that the actors' pay seems to be still acceptable before. Once the 20 million threshold is exceeded, no one knows where the actors' pay will eventually be capped.

"Why don't you regard it as an exchange of interests? The production exchanges 20 million for 100 million, 200 million, or even more. This is a reasonable investment." Joseph said with a smile.

Hugo shrugged, "Of course I know that the wolves on Wall Street never do business at a loss." After Hollywood entered the big market, it was actually an industry under Wall Street. "It's just that I still think the pay is too incredible. You don't remember. After that, we lived in such a bad environment, but now, as long as I shoot a movie, I can immediately become a billionaire."

Hugo still feels a little unrealistic.

In the past ten years or so, the baseline of life has been rolling. The domestic welfare system is not as perfect as the West. The vagrant in some Western countries is completely dependent on the state to support them. They do not need to work and will not starve to death, but it is impossible in the country. For people like Hugo and their band who are in the circle for survival, even if they take the initiative to send them to work, they don’t necessarily need them. Food and clothing are the most basic requirements.

Now, all of a sudden, Hugo can become a multi-millionaire as long as he starred in a movie-and it's still in US dollars, which is really... it's too easy to come by, it feels incredible.

Joseph was amused by Hugo's words. Every actor hopes that his salary will be higher and higher, but Hugo has this strange idea. However, this is what makes Hugo different. Imagine giving up two works that cost 20 million US dollars and starring in a work that costs only 2.5 million. Such a shocking choice is indeed It is not acceptable to ordinary people. Perhaps this is one of the important reasons for Hugo's success: because he has a clear mind.

"So, you mean, do you want to move? Move to Beverly Hills?" Joseph said with a smile. In fact, Hugo can move after "". He has absolute ability, but Yu Guo has never moved. She still lives with Charlize. This is so incredible that for a long time the paparazzi can’t find where Hugo’s home is-it’s not that they didn’t find it, but that they followed. After Hugo got home, thinking it was just a blindfold, Hugo quietly left from the other passages.

Hugo pursed his mouth. He has never paid much attention to moving. On the one hand, because he has been working outside all year round, the so-called home is actually a place to sleep. He feels that it is very comfortable and there is no need to change it; On the one hand, because Hugo has never felt the real sense of being a rich man, he can't drive, so he won't buy luxury cars; he refuses to smoke. Poison, so there is no need to splurge; he does not have many friends, so he is not keen on partying, naturally, the attractiveness of the mansion is not so strong. Of course, living with Charlize is very easy and happy, which is also one of the reasons.

However, now may be a good time to move.

The careers of Hugo, Charlize, and the three have all started. In fact, the slowest Charlize will not be silent for too long. Sooner or later, they will need to move—especially after the rise of Charlize, she and Alex and Hugo live together, and the hidden dangers of the paparazzi will explode at any time.

Moreover, Hugo has a date and Charlize has a date. If Hugo guesses correctly, there seems to be someone who has a date too-although they only met twice, if everything goes well, they will bring their partner home afterwards. , There will always be a lot of inconvenience.

Moreover, Hugo still hopes to be friends with Charlize, maybe they are not suitable to continue living under the same roof.

So... "Maybe, maybe I'll think about it." Hugo said hesitantly, because he was not sure, because he was accustomed to living together and suddenly moved out by himself, Hugo would be very uncomfortable. Before the crossing, Hugo and the band members lived in the big dormitory; after crossing, first Joseph and then Charlize. For more than ten years, Hugo has long been used to having roommates.

Even so, Joseph looked at Hugo in surprise. Prior to this, their group of friends had asked Hugo's idea of ​​moving at least five times before and after, but Hugo directly rejected it. This is the first time that Hugo has shown a positive attitude-although there are still some. hesitate.

Hugo thought about it carefully, "But, it's not Beverly Hills, um... Maybe Malibu, there will be a good place." Although Beverly Hills is full of stars and luxurious, but at the same time there are too many paparazzi. Now, Hugo doesn't like the life surrounded by paparazzi. Malibu hasn't fully developed yet, it just has a rudimentary form. It is obviously a good idea to live there, and it is not far from downtown Los Angeles.

Joseph is even more surprised. It can be seen that Hugo is really thinking about it, "It seems that after you make money, you finally have a use." The only cost of the money Hugo currently earns is collection. Of course Hugo has always been generous in his daily life and enjoys himself very much. He will not be harsh on himself for food, clothing, housing and transportation, and he is also kind to his friends around him. "Do you put all your previous money in the bank?"

"I took a lot of money to Adam before, you know, I heard old Jack say before that he actually wants to buy a ranch, he likes those cowboy trades." Otherwise, Adam would not stay in Lanches for the rest of his life. In addition to tobacco and alcohol, cowboys and rugby are also his only fun. "But he has not bought it. I don't know if he didn't like it, or he was saving money for me."

Hugo persuaded Adam several times. Now he is not short of money and asks Adam to do some things he wants to do, but Adam tells him not to be nosy, which makes Hugo quite helpless. Hugo had previously given Adam a set of tickets for the season of the NFL Denver Broncos, which made Adam happy. He also showed off with old Jack several times and made old Jack beard and stare with anger.

"Maybe what he lacked was never money." Joseph said casually, but it was meaningful in Hugo's ears.

Indeed, perhaps in Adam’s heart, money has never been the most important thing, just like when Hugo was at his worst before, Adam did not worry about money. His savings in the past two decades are sufficient to deal with most situations. , Although he always satirizes Hugo's failure to accomplish nothing, but deep down, compared with money, Hugo's career success and Hugo's company ~ www.novelhall.com ~ including Hugo can learn to forgive , Life easy is the most important thing for Adam.

Suddenly Hugo remembered Adam's phone call when he was leaving to film in Vienna. When he heard Vienna, Adam was stunned and did not react. Then Hugo explained that this was in Austria, and Adam suddenly realized that this was in Austria, and said in a low voice, "Austria, a name often heard during World War II."

Adam has lived in Wyoming all his life, and the days he has left that land are numbered. Throughout his life, he has lived so restrained and dull. He has struggled to give Lena a stable life. He has endured to give Hugo a stable life. He now wants to make Hugo work at ease. And waiting.

Whenever he thinks of Adam, Hugo feels that he is happy. Even if he gives Hugo ten to twenty million, he is not willing to exchange this kind of happiness.

"You can go over and talk to Charlize, am I a little later? I want to make a call to Adam." Hugo raised his head to look at Joseph and sent him away. Hugo picked up the phone and got through the ocean. On the long distance, when he heard Adam’s familiar voice, "Speak, I'm listening." The smile at the corner of Hugo's mouth could not help but outline. supply.
