The game of increasing the remuneration is a contest between the brokerage company and the production company. Only when the time and place are favorable and all the conditions are met, can the shackles be broken. Too hasty or too much force may be too much.
Now Renly, egot's halo and momentum are booming, and all the brokerage companies in Hollywood are just around the corner - after the International Innovation Management Company took over Vin Diesel's brokerage contract, it temporarily died down, not without letting go of internal conflicts and common The meaning of resolving external contradictions, after all, is only an increase in the salary of an actor of Renly, and then all the brokerage companies will benefit.
But who would have thought that Renly, as the party concerned, would come up with a just-right and appropriate remuneration figure?
It's an art! So, is this a number set by Andy Rogers, or is it a number set by Renly?
But then, Emma came up with another idea: according to Renly's style and character, he had no idea about the remuneration at all, and always assumed the attitude of a professional actor. So, are the current figures? What happened to Andy's compromise with Renly? No aggressiveness, no aggressive greed.
If so, it would be more in line with Renly's usual style and attitude. Does that mean that this number is set by Renly?
Thinking of this, Emma's heart skipped a beat.
Hidden under the skins of hereditary aristocrats and professional actors, Renly is far smarter and wiser than imagined.
If she could now know what Emma was thinking, Renly would have applauded because she guessed half right and half wrong.
The remuneration requirement was indeed a compromise after the argument between Renly and Andy. It's not that Renly is arrogant and dismissive of higher pay; it's that Renly knows the rules of the industry—
The success of Johnny Depp and Robert Downey Jr.'s super high pay depends not only on sequels, but also on the huge profits from peripheral products, which can also be considered as Marvel series, dc series and other series One of the results of the derivative product of a movie or novel adapted into a movie.
With Renly's current position in the industry alone, it is no problem to strive for higher remuneration, but just relying on a "Interstellar" to break the shackles of the past ten years is still slightly insufficient.
Once the salary negotiation figures are too greedy, this will inevitably lead to more backlash from the six major film companies, and things will start to get complicated, especially now that the high-level turmoil at Warner Bros. is still ongoing, which may also Influenced work on Jurassic Park and The Fast and the Furious.
Andy is an agent, he has to be more ambitious and more aggressive; but Renly is just an actor, he just wants to be in Interstellar, he just wants to work with Christopher Nolan, he just wants to Should I concentrate on acting and raise my salary? Of course good! But if the process of raising the paycheck would affect his work, he would be less enthusiastic.
After all, he doesn't have much interest in the carve-up and distribution of power in Hollywood.
Renly's attitude really made Andy a little depressed, but he couldn't refute it, and the conversation got stuck for a while.
In the end, it was Matthew Dunlop who completed the calculation of the numbers as a bystander: 20 million basic salary and 5% dividends, this is Matthew's conclusion, and accurately choked the production company so that they could not Rejecting, and being able to take a small step forward on Andy's needs.
Everything is just right.
Although I don't know the true face of the hero behind the scenes, it does not affect Emma's accurate judgment.
Emma wanted to just say yes, but as a producer, he instinctively/inspired to bargain, because that's her job, "twenty million plus three percent."
Renly seemed to have expected such a result for a long time, a big smile appeared on his face, and his understatement revealed confidence and calmness, "Twenty million plus six percent dividends."
Not only did the numbers not decrease, but they also increased.
It's not a bullshit, it's an attitude.
Renly was showing his attitude: he didn't mind, but that didn't mean he could be taken lightly.
Although Renly never cared about salary figures; those figures were his rewards, the most intuitive and direct rewards for his work, his abilities, and his efforts. What belongs to him, he will never give in; what does not belong to him, he will not be greedy. It's a way of dealing with the world.
Watching Renly's expression and expression, Emma reacted instantly.
The smile in her eyes rolled over involuntarily. Emma believed without hesitation that if she continued to lower the salary figure now, then Renly would also continue to raise the figure. That confidence and firmness that refused to give in, inadvertently gave way. Showing wisdom and maturity that is inconsistent with youth, making people realize:
At such a young age, he has come to the top of the pyramid in the entire industry, which is definitely not without reason.
"Is this your bottom line?" Emma asked tentatively.
Renly shook his head slightly unexpectedly, and said with a smile, "That's the request."
Emma opened her mouth unexpectedly, "If we are willing to make higher demands, are you unwilling to accept it?"
"No, I'll gladly accept it," Renly replied succinctly.
Emma was stunned for a moment, then laughed cheerfully, and returned to
When it comes to the theme, "Now the preparations for the entire film project are temporarily stuck in place, we are trying to find the most appropriate cooperation plan, so in a short period of time, about the budget, about the cast, about the remuneration, etc., we all There's no way to make a decision."
"But the conversation just now was definitely not an intentional joke." Before the misunderstanding, Emma said in advance, "Honestly, if you can star in this project, this is one of the things I wish for. So, as a producer, at the same time Chris, as a director, we can agree to your terms, and I will try my best to convince the other producers. What do you think?"
Renly raised his chin, and the smile at the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, revealing a clear look, "Of course. Of course! It's always like this on big production projects."
Renly was thinking of the "Jurassic Park" reboot. The two producers, Steven Spielberg and Frank Marshall, have basically made a decision, but because of the existence of Thomas Tull, things have not been determined for a long time. Between brokers, this game is not so easy.
Now, "Interstellar" can be said to be the same situation. Christopher Nolan and Emma Thomas have nodded in agreement, but they still need to consider more situations now. The tug of war between Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures is still important. Above all, even the Christophers have no way to promise more right now.
I don't know if it's a marriage or a sin, but Thomas Tour can be seen in both projects. Although Renly and Thomas have yet to meet, it is certain that things will not be resolved that easily.
Emma then said, "But in order to increase persuasion and increase the sincerity of cooperation, I have a small additional request, I hope you can seriously consider it."
Renly cast his gaze away, waiting for the next paragraph.
"There's nothing wrong with a $20 million salary." Emma said simply, there are very few top actors worth 20 million in Hollywood right now, and Renly is undoubtedly one of them. "Five percent This is acceptable, but only if the North American box office must exceed 200 million.”
It's been calculated before...
Below 200 million, the production company can stop the loss in time, just like when Jim Carrey played "Cable TV Repairman" with a salary of 20 million, it was still far away in 1996, for a comedy film, nearly half The cost of the movie was all spent on the actor's remuneration. Later, the North American box office of the movie was only 60 million, and Sony Pictures had no temper at all.
More than 200 million, the production company will win more profit margins. Compared with the 5% dividend ratio, Renly's box office appeal can break through the threshold of 200 million or even higher, then the percentage figure is also It doesn't matter anymore, because no matter how high or low the percentage of the payroll is, they've already earned it.
After going around in circles, Emma returned to her responsibilities again, adding, "This is an extra chip to help me convince other producers. Although you have two North American box office now. 200 million works, but commercial movies are not your strong suit after all, we need more confidence."
Renly strongly suspects that Emma now understands the implication of Thomas Tour in his sentence "It's always the case with big productions".
Like "Jurassic Park," Thomas Tour's slot is still one of the biggest problems with the project, at least one.
In order to persuade Thomas Tour or to make concessions to Thomas Tour, Emma is now posing a gesture of sincere cooperation.
As for how much of this gesture is honest advice, and how much is the producer's retreat, it is unknown.
If calculated according to the data of the previous life, the North American box office of "Interstellar" is 188 million, and it has not been able to exceed 200 million, which is even lower than the box office number of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" released in the same year. In 2014, it ranked 16th on the North American year-end box office charts.
But Renly didn't hesitate too much. "No problem."
The magnitude of the numbers has been reached, so there is no need to pursue the details of the implementation. The reason why the strategy of boiling frogs in warm water works is that the temperature can continue to rise, and it is also that it makes it unconscious. As for what kind of pot and what kind of water is used, this is not the core issue.
Renly's neatness brought a big smile to Emma's face, "That could not be better. Chris and I are really looking forward to working with you. I'm already looking forward to it now."
