Needless to say, whether it is a club of 20 million yuan or a 10% box office dividend, this is a well-deserved top level in Hollywood, skipping the ranks of first-line actors and directly ranking among the top actors, even in Hollywood " a-list", which is also the top of the top.

In the whole of Hollywood, there are absolutely no more than thirty actors who enjoy such a standard treatment, and there are only a handful of them.

By the way, those actors or directors who enjoy 15% or even 20% of box office dividends, such as Steven Spielberg and Tom Cruise, this is an objective existence. .

But even they can only get such a high percentage of dividends under special circumstances. Not only do they need to be both actors and producers at the same time, but there are generally no other big names in the crew, because the proportion of box office dividends that the entire crew can share is at most 40%.

In addition, enjoying such a high dividend also means that they will bear the risk of box office together with the film company, and the losses may also be very heavy.

Giving and receiving are always proportional.

In the face of a film company whose interests are paramount, it is extremely difficult for any actor to receive such treatment. Not only does the agency need to argue with reason, but it also needs a clever timing to truly impress the film company.

To put it simply, if Warner Bros. nods and agrees to the 20 million treatment, then Renly will take over the works of other film companies, and the 20 million is also the basic treatment; and, unless the actor voluntarily reduces the price, once it is raised to such a level, Basically, there will be no decline. For the specific situation, please refer to the tug-of-war between Dwayne Johnson and "Fast and Furious 5".

Therefore, film companies need to be cautious about every decision made by the 20-million-dollar club and every 10% box-office dividend. Besides themselves, other film companies will more or less put pressure on them. What the actors divide up is the interests in the pockets of the film companies.

This time "gravity" is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for the right time and place. As a result, the innovative artist agency team headed by Andy Rogers is doing its best to get top treatment for Renly, which is also the core reason why the cooperation negotiation has never been completed.

Now that Barry came to London in person, more important than the significance of the salary figures is the recognition and approval of Warner Bros. for Renly, or the affirmation and support of the six major film companies for Renly. This also means that after signing the "Gravity" contract, Renly will officially become a member of the Pyramid Spire.

Beyond that, the strategic position of "Gravity" and "Edge of Tomorrow" sequels, which are separated from the numbers themselves, reveal a longer-term blueprint that can give a glimpse of Warner Bros' ambitions.

Although Renly couldn't see through Barry's abacus or Warner Bros.'s plans, it was certain that Barry was definitely not aimless in today's entire conversation. As CEO of Warner Bros. and one of Hollywood's most powerful moguls, Barry is certainly looking for more than just an actor.

However, taking a step back, an actor who can sell 500 million in North America and 1.1 billion in the world, Barry is very willing to personally go out and seek long-term cooperation. Just like Christopher Nolan back in the day, this is undoubtedly one of Barry's most successful solo collaborations on the job.

Renly couldn't help showing a small smile, "It seems that our cooperation will continue for some time to come."

"If I can, I don't mind that this kind of cooperation lasts longer." Barry's eyes flashed slightly, and he said meaningfully, and then the conversation changed, and he said strongly, "No matter how you choose, I hope the signing can be signed in the next four weeks. completed within.”

Time, for the "Gravity" crew, and for Warner Bros., is extraordinarily urgent. Edge of Tomorrow was an unexpected force against the Avengers this summer, but what about next year? And the next year? Warner Bros. needs to pick up the pace and finish the layout.

"Alfonso Cuaron said that the preliminary technical work of the crew has been basically completed. Now, he needs to determine the male actor to cooperate with the remaining preliminary preparations to ensure that the film can be shot as planned." Barry did not pause to listen to the blue With the intention of politeness, he poured out all the words on his own.

"By the way, we have made an appointment for the November studio. The film will be shot in the UK. Our studio in Surrey is ready. The entire shooting schedule is expected to be one to two months. I don't quite understand, but I believe your agent should be able to give a more accurate answer."

Talking to himself, talking incessantly, in one go. The whole paragraph is completely self-centered, pouring out all the content, not so much to ask for opinions or talk to each other, but to unilaterally announce all the results, the strong style of giving orders in the bones, exerted to the extreme.

Renly looked at Barry quietly, but didn't respond.

Barry frowned slightly, catching the look in Renly's eyes carefully, and also fell silent, not speaking.

For a while, the atmosphere froze in place without going up and down. The two of them seemed to have a stance of not giving an inch, which gradually evolved into a battle of momentum.

In the end, it was Renly's chuckle that broke the situation.

However, without the slightest worry, he still maintained a relaxed attitude, "Mr. Mayer, obviously, you treat me as a producer, but in fact, I'm just an actor, and for work other than acting, my Understanding is very limited.”

For Renly, whether it is a 20 million club or a 10% box office dividend, this is extremely rare, and he has no problem with any choice. Before, Renly nodded and agreed to the invitation to star in "Gravity", and he hadn't considered the salary at all.

The same goes for the sequel to Edge of Tomorrow.

This is the second time Renly has repeated similar content in today's conversation. Barry is not angry, but instead smiles, "I am a businessman, the only thing I can talk to is the salary, the market, and the future. Planning; the part about filmmaking and art making, that's not my forte, the only thing I can say is, Edge of Tomorrow's finished product, which I love."

There was a hint of humor in the simple words, but instead revealed a little true temperament.

"In a way, we've reached a consensus, haven't we?" Renly focuses on performance, while Barry focuses on profitability. The ultimate goal of the two is the same, to create a wonderful work, it's just the way Just different.

Renly's expression made Barry's smile even brighter, "Actually, you have a little misunderstanding about producers. Producers are not just a helmsman who manages the budget, manages the PR, manages the promotion, and manages the shooting. In a huge Hollywood production crew, the division of labor among producers is also extremely meticulous."

"For actors who are also producers, their task is to provide a richer point of view for the film from the actor's point of view. For example, how should the characters be created and how the characters should interact with the plot; another example, the actor's acting style How to cooperate with the director, how to arrange the performance between the supporting role and the protagonist. And so on.

Really good actors who become producers can be catalysts for something better, like Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep. "

Outside of work, the rarely seen long speeches reveal Barry's advice and guidance to Renly. He is reminding Renly that if he wants to become a better actor, or even an actor who has a deeper understanding of the whole work, then the producer will be the most direct training position.

Barry's words reminded Renly of Tom Cruise.

In the last life, Tom gradually fell into a stereotyped movie routine. No matter what movie he shoots, it seems to be the same character and the same model, including the "Edge of Tomorrow" that is well-known. In fact, this is the result of Tom as an actor, as a producer, imprinting his personal style on his works.

It's just that Renly has not yet reached such a height, mastering all the details from a holistic perspective. The sequel to "Edge of Tomorrow", conceived from the creative stage, may be an opportunity; and Barry's subtext just now, is it implying that "Gravity" will be the first opportunity to come?

Barry raised the whisky in his hand and drank it, "I think we all have a lot to learn, right?" After speaking, Barry placed the glass on the table and sat up straight, "Today , you've had another busy working day, so I won't interrupt your rest time, and I hope next time we have a chance, we can have dinner and have a good conversation about some insignificant anecdotes."

This is the cue to leave.

This time, Renly didn't say no, he was really tired.

Taking advantage of the situation to stand up, Barry left the cash on the table, and then the two left the bar as they walked and talked, got into their own cars, said goodbye and walked away.

The whole conversation process was vigorous and neat, and the amount of information was huge; after the end, you need to calm down and reminisce slowly.

Originally, Renly was going to talk to Andy right away, but after returning home and bathing, he fell into a drowsy sleep and was unconscious. West End performances have never had any breathing room, and the dual challenges of energy and stamina cannot be ignored.

A sense of dawn.

After getting up in the morning, he started the rest day with a cup of coffee. While enjoying breakfast, Nathan reminded Renly in time whether he needed to tell Andy about the meeting last night. Called across the Atlantic and found Andy.

A simple summary of what happened last night, Andy on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, took a deep breath, took a deep breath again, and finally couldn't help laughing and laughing, "You mean, Warner Bros. CEO Barry Mayer, on. After the top salary was paid, you rested extremely peacefully last night and was not affected in any way?"

This...why do people have the urge to laugh?
