~： Three hundred and seventy-two - those sky-high wages are never accidental

The Rolls-Royce Silver Spur has a large riding space, and the stability of its travel is greatly guaranteed, which brings a good office environment to the rear riding area.

Jimmy didn't wait for the car to leave Burbank, he opened his briefcase, took out a printout, and put it on the small table in the middle.

"The contract issue at Twentieth Century Fox can't be settled in a day or two. With your promise, the other party is also delaying intentionally or unintentionally. In my opinion, they should be waiting for the "Hulk" The market reaction, and the reaction of fans of non-DC series comics."

"What's your suggestion?" Wayne didn't look at the printing paper in a hurry, and looked at the agent with a relaxed expression.

"My suggestion is that since they are willing to hold it, we will simply postpone it until next year!" The agent looked confident, and he knew best how capable his client was. When things developed in the back, there were 20th Century Fox's When you come to the door and ask for it.

"I can't judge whether Universal's "Hulk" will be successful, but one thing I can be sure of right now is that 20th Century Fox can certainly wait and see without fear, but after next year's awards season, even Delay a little longer, and after the second Batman movie is released, our treatment will not be this friendship price!"

The companies that have dealt with Jimmy in the circle can basically be sure that the other abilities of this agent can only be said to be qualified. Whether it is the career planning of his clients, or finding job opportunities for clients, he has little chance to participate.

But who asked him to serve Wayne, a top client who didn't need a brokerage at all.

What is the value of Jimmy's existence? The most troubling thing about him is that he is completely shameless in negotiating for customer treatment, and all kinds of tricks and threats are frequent. As long as the number of customer treatment is involved, his IQ seems to be instantly raised by 30 to 50 years. To urgently use all favorable factors.

Therefore, it is such a shameless broker who is extremely sensitive to money and figures in negotiations, and even Warner Bros. has a headache every time. Wayne is usually good at communicating, but his agent Jimmy is not necessarily. As long as this guy involves the interests of his own clients, he never knows what the bottom line is.

"Jimmy."

Nina, who is usually silent when it comes to business affairs, remembered the nature of this agent, and suddenly took off her glasses, widened her eyes curiously, and asked, "What price did you offer so that you can finally get a promise? of 20th Century Fox, would you rather continue to wait slowly than hurry up and be safe?!"

Don't look at Wayne's promise, but everything that doesn't fall into the contract terms on paper is always just a promise.

20th Century Fox deliberately adjusted "Independence Day" in order to obtain greater benefits. The normal approach should be to settle the issue of Wayne's treatment as soon as possible, and the rest is irrelevant.

At this time, the agent looked innocent, facing Nina's curious eyes, and said confidently: "If you want to invite Wayne's company so many, 20th Century Fox should pay a price that exceeds the law of the market when it gets the promise, isn't it? So I want more than 30+25? Not much at all..."

"Pfft, cough, cough, cough."

Before Jimmy could finish speaking, Wayne nearly spit out a mouthful of water, coughing non-stop while looking at the manager with a rightful look, realizing that he had a deeper understanding of his shamelessness.

"fxxk! 30 million basic salary plus 25% of the global box office share?!" Nina's eyes widened sharply, her mouth closed in surprise, and she murmured.

The manager looked at the two people opposite, and when he mentioned 20th Century Fox, a shameless tone came to his face. Even his own people never thought that he would speak like a lion. "Of course, isn't it in line with Wayne's worth? We didn't ask them to invite them, we must have an attitude of asking for help!"

It has been a few years since she entered Hollywood. Nina has already figured out the basic operation mode of the production company, and she will be surprised because she knows enough. If 20th Century Fox agreed to this price, it would almost be equivalent to reversing the status of labor and management. I was doing white work for Wayne the whole time.

No matter how successful "X-Men" is, at least more than half of the profits have been taken away by their own side, and no production company will easily agree to such conditions.

"Anything to be surprised about?" Jimmy shrugged, no fuss in his eyes. "Twentieth Century Fox agreed to this salary when we first negotiated."

"whatthefxxk...?"

"Why?!"

Don't listen to Wayne's words that if he doesn't lack money, he won't be interested in money. If the other party agrees to this kind of strange salary, it's too realistic and doesn't mind taking the opportunity to make a profit.

"They can give this salary on the condition that Wayne not only plans out the first few "X-Men" movies, but also makes a comprehensive plan in detail and completeness. After all, Warner Bros.' DC superhero plan is not counted in the circle. what a secret.

He also has to serve as the first producer and director of the first film, and also participate in script writing and other work, so the premise that they are willing to agree to this price is to maximize the success rate of "X-Men", and The success rate of follow-up films…”

That's right. Hearing Jimmy say all the conditions, he suddenly nodded his head. I am afraid that only such a request can make 20th Century Fox willing to give up more than half of the film's profits to buy a successful film. film series.

"Talk slowly, don't worry, just follow your plan. You did a very good job." Wayne looked at the agent's eyes and fully affirmed the other party's work.

As for Jimmy's condition of being like a snake swallowing an elephant, he didn't think there was anything wrong. This is Hollywood, the most bizarre and incredible place in North America. Sometimes, the sky-high salary is not necessarily impossible. Anyway, everything is negotiable. of.

If you are a movie star or a big director, and a big company invites you to film a movie, are you willing to take a large amount of upfront remuneration at one time, or are you willing to ask for dividends in the later period without basic remuneration?

Normal people would hesitate, so it's just normal people. The choice of the big names in the circle, of course, is to be paid and divided! In fact, most of the big names in the circle participate in the film, and it is in this way that Wayne is definitely not an exception.

This has also resulted in some top stars, directors and producers earning unbelievably high incomes on a single film. With one film, I made money that I couldn't spend in the second half of my life, but it appeared more than once or twice.

That's why Los Angeles attracts handsome men and women from all over the world, sharpening their heads and desperately trying to squeeze into this Vanity Fair.

The well-known Johnny Depp, a "Pirates of the Caribbean 4", made him more than 55 million US dollars, of which the early basic salary was 35 million US dollars, and the rest was divided.

Another star related to Tim Burton, Jack Nicholson, earned more than $60 million in "Batman" in 1989, of which the basic salary was only 6 million, and the rest was all divided into later stages. , but it was an accident.

Harrison Ford made more than $65 million in the 08 version of "Raiders of the Lost Ark", which is not the most important, the important thing is that the film director Steven Spielberg, and George Lucas, the same I also got 65 million US dollars. The brothers can be said to go hand in hand in making money...

Tom Hanks earned $70 million for "Forrest Gump", Sandra Bullock also earned $70 million for "Gravity", and the little prince Robert Downey Jr. , One "Reunion 4" got more than 75 million US dollars. The key is that this is just a routine operation for him. In "Reunion 3" and "Iron Man 3", he also got this number.

If anyone were to ask who is the richest in the Marvel universe, there is no doubt that it is Tony Stark in the movie and Robert Downey Jr.

This is not the highest salary. For example, Will Smith pushed the figure to $100 million for "Men in Black 3", and Bruce Willis for "The Sixth Sense" also received more than $100 million.

Among the recorded and leaked remunerations, Tom has the highest total income. This Hollywood superstar has received at least 100 million in "Mission Impossible 2", "War of the Worlds" and other films. Dividends above US dollars Besides, the highest paid for a single film is Keanu Reeves, which is actually a result of some unexpected factors, because the second and third sets of "The Matrix" According to the shooting cycle, his agent quoted a basic salary of 30 million US dollars, plus 15% of the film's income.

Although the last two films were not as well-received as the first film, the Wachowski brothers (sisters) were obviously fooled by the film critics, and the filming became more and more crazy, but it still brought Keanu Reeves unexpectedly more than 1.6 billion dollars in revenue.

Pay attention, the above are only exposed and proven, and there are more unexplained sky-high salaries abound, such as Steven Spielberg's "Jurassic Park", George Lucas's "Star" War" and so on, the director's income will only be higher.

Seeing the car turn into Mulholland Drive, Wayne counted the time and instructed Nina: "Help me ask Steven as soon as possible, the preview of "The Departed" will start soon, and the next is "The Matrix" The premiere, my work schedule is very full this summer, and I must solve this mess as soon as possible!"

"No problem, I'll call when I go back."

Along the way, Wayne glanced at the investigation materials brought by Jimmy from time to time. The things above were related to some of his plans for the next few years.

"This blue sky studio also participated in the special effects work of "Titanic"?"

Jimmy thought for a moment and nodded affirmatively. "Yes, but it's just a little bit of virtual scene production. This studio is too small to take on more work."
