Chapter 665 665 Silly Sister Actor
Hugo and Graham had a face-to-face discussion. In fact, as Hugo said, since the script itself is relatively complete, even if it needs to be revised, it is only to make adjustments to the expression of some language in the male protagonist Jack. Therefore, the two of them have a good deal, and they feel that the progress is going very smoothly.
Joseph, who was sitting on the side, was not idle either. He, Ian and Jane discussed the issue of Hugo's treatment. Before that, "Life and Death" offered Hugo a salary of 8 million yuan. Plus box office dividends. This salary data is a major burden for the crew, after all, their total budget is only 28 million US dollars, so Ian wants to find a solution, for example, reduce the salary, but increase the dividend ratio.
This is naturally an undesired situation for Joseph, because the dividend is the income from the box office after the movie is released, which means that the box office pressure is passed on to Hugo, and the remuneration is the direct income, no matter Hugo is now in Hollywood. Regardless of the status, this approach is not a wise choice.
However, after the tempering of the previous months, Joseph has become a lot more rational. The threshold of "10 million US dollars in salary" he has always insisted on is a benchmark, which is a dream goal for any actor, but now it is obvious that "life and death" "Speed" can't come up with this money, so this also means that Hugo's time to join the $10 million club will definitely be delayed, then, is the salary of "Life and Death" eight million or seven hundred? Wow, the difference is not as huge as I imagined.
Hugo first chose "Pulp Fiction" and then "Life and Death" when all the major production companies were waving 10 million dollars in checks. In fact, it can be seen from the side that Hugo did not care about the remuneration. Instead of insisting, he is more focused on the script and on the role. This positive image is a good reputation in the Hollywood circle.
In the long run, regardless of the success of "Pulp Fiction" and "Life and Death", Hugo's good reputation and popularity will settle down. There have been enough negative news about it, and it is natural to be able to take the opportunity to whitewash it.
Once "Pulp Fiction" and "Speed of Life and Death" can be successful, then Hugo's reputation for "good quality and low price" will be more solid, which will be of great benefit to the development of Hugo's future career. Speaking of a salary of 10 million dollars, even a salary of 20 million dollars is not impossible.
Three months ago, Joseph's eyes were always locked on the $10 million threshold; but now, Joseph has been able to broaden his horizons and know that sometimes retreating can achieve better results.
Therefore, although Joseph does not want to reduce the salary and increase the dividend, it is not resolute.
However, even if Joseph relented, he couldn't let Ian achieve his goal casually. He had to create difficulties so that the other party could understand how much Hugo sacrificed for this work, and then relented and nodded. Only in this way can our "concession" have a greater effect. Of course, the scale of the negotiation process and the grasp of difficulties are very particular, which is also an important link for the broker to reflect the value.
The conversation in this corner of the coffee house was all about you and me. Although there was no shouting, it was a lively scene. When Sandra Bullock appeared at the coffee house, she was a little helpless when she stood beside her, worried that the sudden opening at this time would interrupt their heated discussion.
The agent Cheryl. Maisel, who was standing beside Sandra, patted her on the shoulder lightly to tell her not to be nervous, and then Cheryl stepped forward with a smile, "I'm sorry, may I ask you? Can I put two more chairs here?"
Cheryl's polite voice made everyone stop, and looked over subconsciously, she was not nervous, and then said, "I'm really sorry for interrupting your meeting, I'm Cheryl Mai Sir, once again my sincere apologies."
Cheryl's graceful and generous expression clearly expressed her true thoughts, and her elegant smile with the right hand that she stretched out, quickly won Ian's standing welcome, "Sorry, our conversation took longer than expected. Thank you for coming, this is Sandra."
Hugo also interrupted the conversation at this time, and looked back at Sandra, who was still green and sweet at this time. She had short, **** hair, and the flowing sea that was blown up was even more distinctive. In the style of the 1990s, a simple small floral T-shirt paired with jeans showed her youthful vitality.
Hugo remembered that Sandra was born in 1964, which means that she will be 30 years old this year, but at this time Sandra is still in her green years. , it can be said that her image is not much different from her image in the 1990s, including "The Proposal", "All About Steve" after entering the millennium. About. Steve)” and so on.
In the beautiful Hollywood, Sandra's appearance is not the most prominent, but her cheerful personality has always been the most special landscape in Hollywood. She is also the first person in history to win the Oscar and the Raspberry Awards in the same year. The actress who has won all the above, but she didn't care, she even took the initiative to attend the Golden Raspberry Awards ceremony and participated in the self-mockery. This kind of bold boy character gave her a rare good popularity in Hollywood, and at the same time She also won the love of countless audiences.
In the whole history, there are only two actresses who can be called true box office queens in Hollywood, namely Julia Roberts and Sandra Bullock. , and finally achieved impressive box office results, being the two actresses with the highest personal cumulative box office until 2014.
It can be seen from this that the popularity of the image of Sandra "Silly Sister" in the hearts of the American people.
Sandra only entered Hollywood in 1990, and she became famous for the "Life and Death" that she auditioned for today. After relying on this work to become popular in the United States, "While. You. Were. Sleeping" , "The. Net" once again created good results, but unfortunately, she fell into a long slump, and it was not until "Miss. Congeniality" in 2000 that she was brought back again. in the sight of the audience.
It is a pity that in the next few years, although Sandra launched another masterpiece such as "The. Lake. House", her image was always locked in the position of the silly eldest sister. Like the "American Sweetheart" image that Meg Ryan couldn't get rid of, this has become the shackles that imprison Sandra's further development.
However, Sandra ushered in a metamorphosis in 2009. "Fake Marriage" won her a box office victory, and "The. Blind. Side" brought her an Oscar-winning statuette, which completely changed Sandra. Della's career reached its peak. Later, like Julia who got the actress, she fell into the "curse of the movie queen". With her husband's derailment, her marriage hit the rocks. For nearly four years, she has not released any good works, not even the works. There are very few.
In 2013, a "Hot Police Flower (The. Heat)" once again won Sandra at the box office, while a "Gravity" made Sandra's acting and box office a good harvest. The silly eldest sister ushered in the third heyday of her career.
Sandra has always been an actress that Hugo likes very much. An actress like her who ignores her image, has an easy-going personality, is approachable, has a low-key attitude, is dedicated and dedicated, and has very little negative news is indeed very rare. There are thousands of them in Hollywood. Wan's actresses are also very rare.
"Nice to meet you, ma'am." Hugo also stretched out his hand and said to Sandra with a smile.
At this time, Sandra was just a newcomer. She entered the industry in 1990 and has starred in a lot of works. She also co-starred with Sylvester Stallone in "Demolition. Man" - this is also The reason why she entered director Jane's sight is that the producer of this work, Joel Silver (Joel. Silver), worked with Jane on "Die Hard" and "Lethal Weapon 3", and Joe actively recommended it to Jane. Sandra. At this time, Sandra, who still did not have any work to make a name, entered the sight of the "Speed of Life and Death" crew.
For Sandra, Hugo is now a top star, but when she looked at Hugo's right hand, she could clearly feel Hugo's gentle kindness. She couldn't help showing a smile on her face and held it Hugo's right hand, "Sandra."
This sudden sentence made Hugo raise his eyebrows, his eyes showing a questioning look, and then Sandra burst into a smile, "My name, Sandra."
Hugo's smile paused for a moment at the corner of his mouth, then blossomed, nodding his chin slightly, "Sandra?"
"This is much better than 'Ma'am." Annie finished speaking, grinning and showing a big smile. This smile looks unsightly at all, even a little silly, but it conveys a close affinity.
Hugo smiled and nodded, "My rudeness." Sandra's temperament is very comfortable, giving people a very soft feeling. Although the smile is really a bit dazed, it makes people like it very much. "Hugo." He then pursed his lips and introduced himself.
"Yeah, I know you," Sandra said with a chuckle. "You know, you look a lot nicer now than you did in the movies, and you're quite a gentleman."
Hugo reacted immediately, Sandra said "Schindler's List", which made Hugo lower his head and laugh, then let go of Sandra's right hand and raised his hands in surrender , showing an innocent expression, "No guns."
This simple action immediately made Sandra laugh out loud, and the crisp laughter seemed very abrupt in the coffee house, breaking the tranquility immediately.
