Jerry Bruckheimer hasn't been treated like this for a long, long time in his career as a producer. It's not that he hasn't been hung up. The point is that he didn't even have a chance to speak just now, and he didn't even have any greetings or courtesies, let alone an appointment for the next phone call, and then Teddy Bell directly The phone hangs up. When will this happen? When bosses treat subordinates, nobles treat commoners, strong groups treat weak groups... But here's the point, when did he, Jerry Bruckheimer, become a weak group?

Jerry Bruckheimer was really surprised, not even angry, just surprised, if he had to say it, he was a little bit dumbfounded.

On the Bell brothers, Jerry Bruckheimer has seen too many accidents. Now he is no longer angry, but has a "fresh" feeling every time. I have to say that the Bell brothers are really strange. The elder brother has a simple and honest face, but his heart is very shrewd, and his ability to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger is admirable; But unfortunately, these two brothers are mixed together, which is amazing.

But fortunately, Teddy Bell is obviously not "looking down" on Jerry Bruckheimer, but he is really too busy, and the text message he sent soon came to Jerry Bruckheimer's phone: At this time I'm busy with a briefing, sorry, I'll call you back later. Jerry Bruckheimer looked at the text message, what could he say.

Sure enough, Teddy Bell called after two hours, and Jerry Bruckheimer could still hear the noise in the background. If you listen carefully, you will know that it should be the sound of the venue. Listening to Teddy Bell's sincere apology, Jerry Bruckheimer, who has been rolling around in social situations for many years, naturally knows that there is no need to continue to care about it at this time, and Teddy Bell is such a simple and honest person. Your apology is always convincing and impossible to refuse.

"It's okay, everyone is always busy. It's understandable." Jerry Bruckheimer answered with a smile, and the two exchanged a few words briefly. Jerry Bruckheimer also knew Bell The news that the brothers are busy for the flagship store of the "Eleven" brand, "After Evan is done, there should be nothing else to do, can you come to Los Angeles immediately? You know, the crew of 'Pirates of the Caribbean 2' has been formed Get up, and if there's no problem, we're going to start." Jerry Bruckheimer tried to take it for granted, as if they'd talked about it countless times before.

Teddy Bell didn't just go out and deal with the society, how could he not hear the deep meaning of Jerry Bruckheimer's words, he didn't care, and said in a relaxed and sincere tone, "Is that so? That's for sure It was my schedule that went wrong, I remember Evan was going to start promoting the 4th single from his album next, Warner Records had been banging on the clock with us for a long time. I can't remember 'Pirates of the Caribbean 2' at all right now I have to work too much to start filming, so I forgot, I will check my schedule."

Teddy Bell seemed to take all the blame on himself, but he was implying inside and out: You Jerry Bruckheimer never talked to me about it.

Jerry Bruckheimer naturally knows that Teddy Bell can't really "confirm" the schedule. Waiting for Teddy Bell to say that there is no such thing in the schedule, then Jerry Bruckheimer will not go down the steps . So, Jerry Bruckheimer scolded "grass" in his heart, but tried to relax his muscles on his face, and said with a smile, "Oh, look at my memory, I asked my secretary to shoot the sequel last time. Faxed the schedule to you, she must have forgotten. I also asked her to email you the contract for this sequel, and you didn't and didn't receive it?" Of course the sly Jerry Bruckheimer can't be true. Admitting his mistake, he also blamed his poor secretary.

Teddy Bell did not intend to dismantle the other party, pretending to be relieved, and said, "It seems that it is indeed a mistake. I receive emails every day, but I haven't seen a new contract for 'Pirates of the Caribbean 2'."

Hearing that Teddy Bell still hadn't mentioned the contract, Jerry Bruckheimer had to take the initiative to mention it, otherwise the matter that Evan Bell came to the crew to report would not be able to speak at all, if Teddy Bell said a word "Promoting the record first" came up, and he was the one who lost face, so he still had to talk about the contract treatment first. "Then since we're on the phone now, I'll discuss the details of the contract with you and see if there are any changes that need to be made."

Teddy Bell didn't take Jerry Bruckheimer's words, but said with a smile, "Exactly, just right. Evan emailed back his revised script last week, did you read it? I don't know how? "The two quarreled once about the script, so now it's even more impossible to give up halfway. Teddy Bell still has to persevere and settle the script. A classic script is not required, but certainly not a bad script. "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" actually has the opportunity and ability to become a good story, as long as the ambition of the screenwriter, director, and producer is not blindly inflated.

Jerry Bruckheimer couldn't help it, put the phone away, and silently cursed a few foul words. The stubbornness of the Bell brothers at times was really annoying. Jerry Bruckheimer was very upset when Evan Bell gnawed on the role of Captain Jack Sparrow when he first collaborated on "Pirates of the Caribbean", and now he insists on the script. But not happy, no one will feel bad about money, and neither will Jerry Bruckheimer, so the negotiation has to continue.

"Oh, you mean the problem of too many character branches, right? We're talking, talking." After Jerry Bruckheimer finished speaking, he paused for two seconds without hearing any response from Teddy Bell, and finally As soon as he gritted his teeth, "Well, after Evan comes to Los Angeles, how about talking to Gore and the others in person?" This is actually an indirect acknowledgement of Evan Bell's right to interfere with the script. Jerry Bruckheimer thought that Evan Bell would definitely be entangled in the script in the future. It is better to let Evan Bell join the discussion of the script. Anyway, he himself has to supervise the script: the scene is not enough Big can't do it.

Teddy Bell still didn't agree immediately, he thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay, Evan will only give opinions, it's you who make the decision." Is this a polite word? People on both ends will probably have different ideas. "By the way, do you fax the contract you just said to me, or send me another email?" Teddy Bell knew that he still had to give Jerry Bruckheimer a step down.

Jerry Bruckheimer breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Teddy Bell is willing to talk about this matter, it means that Evan Bell's participation in "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" has basically been settled. Because he knows that Evan Bell is a reasonable request for treatment issues, and he has hardly heard of his experience of lion talk.

"Let's just talk on the phone, it's more convenient," Jerry Bruckheimer said flatly. "I talked to Mike," referring to Disney CEO Michael Ina, of course. After all, it was invested by Disney, and the treatment of Evan Bell must be approved by Michael Inas. "The salary is 30 million yuan, and the box office dividend is 20%, but the requirements are the second and the first film. All three are signed together."

The treatment was the result of discussions between Jerry Bruckheimer and Michael Inas.

Evan Bell's box-office appeal is indeed a bit of a leader in the world now, and the summer show of "The Notebook" and "The Mechanical Enemy" hand in hand made everyone fascinated by it, and what was even more surprising was, " "Mysterious Skin" actually took home the Silver Lion at the Venice Film Festival, which means it's no big deal that Evan Bell's net worth is firmly at $25 million. Even if it's a $25 million salary, there are still piles and piles of works holding a check hoping that Evan Bell will star in. In addition, the importance of Evan Bell to the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series is self-evident, and there has been a change of roles before, so Michael Inas felt that he would simply give Evan Bell $30 million The remuneration, on the one hand, is to raise Evan Bell's worth and make a hype; on the other hand, it is also to calm down the negative impact of the previous role change storm, so that everyone can see Disney's sincerity towards Evan Bell. So, the $30 million asking price came in.

Now in Hollywood there is no shortage of actors who are paid $30 million. For example, Will Smith can occasionally reach this number, and Tom Cruise can also have this in the "Mission Impossible" series. Numbers, among which actors who exceed this number can occasionally be seen, but there will never be more than ten actors in the world who can earn 30 million yuan - regardless of gender. It can be seen that this number is affirmative for Evan Bell.

The incredible number of box office dividends that can reach 20 percent at once is actually a limitation of Jerry Bruckheimer on Evan Bell, because Evan Bell interferes heavily with the script, so he must share the risk for the box office. , With the dividend factor in it, Evan Bell will definitely work harder. The continuous shooting of the second and third films is a restriction, because since Evan Bell has been given such a high box office dividend, it is bound to seek more benefits for Disney, and signing two film contracts in succession means that No matter what the second part does, as long as there is a third part, Evan Bell cannot raise the price again.

Therefore, although this price is a bit unbelievably high, it is also the result of many discussions between Jerry Bruckheimer and Michael Inas. Jerry Bruckheimer did not practice the tug-of-war today. He took a one-shot fatal method and threw his trump card as soon as he came up, leaving Teddy Bell on the other end of the phone with little room for hesitation.
