Remember in one second [End of the God Station] Mobile phone user input address: m.xinwanben.com

Andy Rodgers was surprised, but not shocked, by Barry Mayer's in-person visit.

Strictly speaking, this is an expected result. It can even be said that it is the result of the continuous efforts and promotion of Andy and the creative artist agency. Now everything is going as planned, and the joy in my heart arises spontaneously, but Andy. Still quickly controlled his emotions, because there was still more work to be done.

Facing Renly's calmness and calmness, it was a joke rather than helplessness, and Andy couldn't help chuckling, "To sum up, Barry's conversation last night consisted of two parts, one was 'tomorrow'. A sequel to The Edge, one is a 'Gravity' pay, right? Did Barry bring up the cast and crew for the sequel?"

"If he can, he wants to continue the original team. Right now, Warner Bros. is inviting the author of the original novel to create a second novel; at the same time, our original team will come together to brainstorm for a sequel to the film. The story provides more inspiration. Obviously, Barry still takes the script and the story very seriously.”

After simply summing up in three or two sentences, Renly made another joke, "At least for some special reason, he said this last night."

The subtext is to ridicule, the nature of businessmen, for the sake of profit, regardless of means, and lies. One set on the surface, one set behind, especially in the actual shooting of the film work, the uncertain factors are even more unpredictable.

Of course, now the two sides have not signed any paper agreement, before seeing the script, Renly can completely refuse to sign, or even refuse to star in the sequel, which is also his right.

At this point, Renly and Barry are on an equal footing, and both parties have the right to choose; strictly speaking, Renly, who is in full swing, also occupies a greater initiative.

Andy immediately understood the meaning of Renly's words, and the smile on his lips remained unchanged, but he did not respond, "Understood. Regarding the sequel to 'Edge of Tomorrow', I will continue to follow up in Los Angeles."

For the sequel, the content and method of cooperation are completely different. Not only the treatment of Renly needs to be further improved, but also the signing and arrangement of the original crew of the crew need to be carefully discussed. Refer to the preparations for the sequel of "Fast and Furious" , is the most direct example.

In addition, the creative artist agency also hopes to further deepen the packaging cooperation in the sequel project and strive for more potential benefits. The sequel cooperation, which will obviously be another long-term tug of war.

Fortunately, there is not even a single stroke of the eight characters now, so there is no need to worry for the time being.

"Now, let's talk about pay first." Andy quickly returned to the focus of today's work, "Before getting into the topic of Barry Mayer, do you know how much 'Edge of Tomorrow' can bring? "

Andy knew that Renly had never cared about the salary, so before the formal conversation, he needed to make sure that Renly had a basic understanding of the salary.

"We temporarily lower the target and count it at 400 million in North America." At the time of this conversation, the North American box office of "Edge of Tomorrow" has not yet exceeded 400 million, but it is about to break through, and professionals have begun to discuss 500 million It's possible, but Andy still didn't set his sights high, "Then, your salary will reach 30 million. Of course, this is the pre-tax data."

Thirty million dollars?

Renly raised his brows slightly. In addition to the accident, it was more absurd. He laughed softly, "Are you sure there is no more than one zero?" Three million and thirty million, this is Two sets of data that are worlds apart.

Pay has never been the focus of Renly's career; moreover, with independent studio productions making up the majority, the pay isn't likely to be too high. When "Edge of Tomorrow" signed the contract, 10 million yuan seemed incredible, but after adding 5% of the box office dividends, Renly can now earn a full 30 million US dollars——

Based on the final North American box office of "Edge of Tomorrow" of $550 million, Renly's actual pre-tax salary should be $37.5 million.

How incredible is this number? To put it simply, at the same level as Robert Downey Jr., in the past ten years, the entire Hollywood actor, director or producer who can get such a salary will never reach double digits.

This also means that Renly, with the help of "Edge of Tomorrow", has been consecrated in one step.

"Yes, I'm sure; otherwise, I should have changed accountants now." Andy joked along with him. "Trust me, Renly, you deserve it."

Deep down, Andy was just as surprised as Renly.

In the beginning, when Renly came to prominence with the "Pacific War", Andy had boldly imagined that within three years, Renly would be able to rank in the front line and achieve a career, but this is only the most ideal state, who would have thought? , but now Renly has reached a far higher level, and even further into the ranks of top superstars, all of which are amazing.

However, accompanying Renly along the way, Andy clearly understood that every step of Renly was so solid and so determined. As he himself said, this is what Renly deserves.

"Recently, the project invitations issued by the six major Hollywood film companies, I mean, commercial films, the minimum salary has reached 15 million." Andy further gave substantial evidence.

What Andy didn't say is that, including Universal Pictures, this remuneration standard has reached a consensus in Hollywood, which is the affirmation of Renly from the entire industry.

.

From the perspective of the Creative Artists Agency, 15 million is still not in line with Renly's worth, and the 20 million club is their goal, so they are actively fighting for Renly, looking forward to Renly becoming them Another top star of the company——

At present, among the five major Hollywood brokerage companies, the creative artist brokerage company has the largest number of 20 million club members. At the same time, they are also the first brokerage company in history to negotiate a salary of 20 million yuan, which has contributed to the value of Hollywood superstars.

"So, what's your suggestion?" Renly answered earnestly, squinting his chin lightly and knowingly.

In the face of such an answer, Andy couldn't help but be a little kidnapped, and said with tears in his eyes, "Mr. Renly-Hall, do you know what a salary of 30 million yuan means? You have become a multi-millionaire now, and this is all your reaction. ?"

"Mr. Andy Rogers, I know, this means that you can get a cut of three million dollars. So, have you decided to retire now?" The smile on Renly's mouth rose slightly and opened. Andy's joke.

On the other end of the phone, Andy was clearly speechless, Renly closed his chin, expressing satisfaction, and then said, "Yes, I don't plan to retire, obviously, there is more work ahead. on."

For Renly, remuneration is not crucial. The wealthy has a wealthy lifestyle, and the poor also have a tight living space. Money can indeed affect the quality of life, but mentality is the core that determines the depth and breadth of life.

Of course, with more income now, this also means that Renly is truly free from the shackles of the family, and the future choices can be more free; at the same time, the Heather-Cross Foundation will also receive a brand new donation, This is undoubtedly a good thing.

“I have some ideas in my head right now, like buying a property in Honolulu or Almafi and then buying a car in London, but … those ideas still won’t work out any time soon. Remember? I’m now I'm busy with work and can't find time.

So, Mr. Andy Rogers, let's talk about the future of work. As for the distribution and use of income, I will leave the bank account to Matthew Dunlop to manage, which is really not my forte. "

With a relaxed expression and a light tone, Renly chuckled and joked, which made Andy shake his head gently again, but after thinking about it, he couldn't hold back and chuckled, "Renly, you know , sometimes, you can really make people grit their teeth."

"I think you have to stand in line. There are enough of those reporters, and with the people who have been offended in the industry, the list is probably not too short." Renly's self-deprecation successfully made Andy dumb again. Speechless.

"My suggestion is..." Andy decided to ignore it and went back to the topic. "Before confirming my suggestion, I need to ask you what you think about 'Gravity'. What is this movie about? sci-fi movies?"

In recent years, the performance of sci-fi movies in the North American market has gradually become unstable. There are not only eye-catching works such as "Avatar" and "Star Trek", but also "Super Battleship" and "Key No. 4". Disappointing works.

When major film companies invest in science fiction works, they gradually become more cautious. Even the "Super 8" created by Steven Spielberg and jj Abrams, Paramount only gives 50 million budget. Therefore, when "Edge of Tomorrow" was put into filming, people in the industry were generally not optimistic.

Now on to "gravity", the same is true.

Regarding Renly's remuneration, this is a very simple arithmetic problem. If the North American box office of "Gravity" can exceed 200 million, then choose 10% of the box office dividend; if not, choose 20 million US dollars.

But this is also a very complicated arithmetic problem, whether it is Barry Mayer, or Andy Rogers, including Alfonso Cuaron, they are unable to determine how the box office performance of "Gravity" will be, of course, This is also the math that Disney must complete before signing Johnny Depp and Robert Downey Jr.

According to the probability, the North American box office of "Gravity" will hardly exceed 200 million after all. Therefore, within the creative artist agency, they still tend to agree to a salary of 20 million yuan, join the 20 million yuan club, and establish a position in the industry; but Andy has a different idea in his heart.

For Renly, Andy always has an inexplicable confidence, even if there is no basis and no evidence, but Andy is still willing to believe that the "Gravity" starring Renly can explode with greater box office potential.
