1533 Discourse Control------ "What's your psychological bottom line?" Ron Meyer finally let go. It was not so much that the company's interests overcame personal grudges, but that Renly-Hall defeated Van Die Serge, in this protracted tug-of-war, Universal Pictures finally chose to bow down and reconcile, but the question now is—

Universal has chosen to back down, so does Renly need to nod to accept it?

Thomas Tull adjusted his sitting position and put his hands on the table, "My psychological bottom line is still the same, there is no change." Then he glanced around and noticed the confused expressions of Steven and Frank, and he realized By the time they must have forgotten, they added, "Twenty million, no dividends."

Steven raised his eyebrows, showing a trace of disdain and contempt; while Frank smiled and looked at Thomas with a meaningful look. Neither of them concealed their demeanor and expression, and even if they didn't speak, their inner meaning could not be more clearly understood.

For them, Thomas and Ron Mayer are both businessmen, not filmmakers. Every decision and choice is full of the copper stench that interests are paramount, but they have to pretend they don't understand.

Thomas immediately received the signal, he then straightened his back, and responded without showing weakness, "I know that Renly now has box office appeal, what brand image and commercial value, etc. I know it all, believe it. I, I know the corners better than anyone."

"But in addition to the basic salary of 20 million, you need to add box office dividends. What does this mean, you must not be ignorant, right? Maybe Renly can be the first mover to change the industry structure, but we can't To be the company that set the precedent, we need to get the situation under control and if Warner Bros. want to, they can raise the price as much as they want. I would love to witness history as a bystander.”

Simply put, Thomas is unwilling to be the one to break the rules of the market. Once the precedent is opened, it also means opening a door for other actors, and then, the investment cost of the entire market will rise, which is a powerful shock to the entire Wall Street power to shake the foundation.

"I'm willing to compromise, I'm trying to compromise." Thomas raised his hands, indicating that he was giving in, "My bottom line is still the same, but if Renly insists, I can promise twenty million plus one hundred million Three-thirds of the box office dividends, but the premise is that the North American box office must exceed 300 million, and the dividend box office can only be the part of more than 300 million."

A businessman is a businessman after all, and every step of the calculation is extremely precise.

"If Renly still insists on such incredible numbers, then..." Thomas shrugged, "I don't mind the exposure, let the media and the public see how greedy he is under that layer of hereditary aristocracy. Hollywood also has Lots and lots of options."

Steven had expected such a situation before today's meeting, and his mentality has always remained calm, but now, under Thomas' attitude, he instantly felt anger burning.

"Greed? Do you know what greed is? Fifty million from Johnny Depp and Robert Downey Jr.! That's greed! By comparison, Renly's demands are philanthropy!"

"Thomas, don't you know the rumors in the industry now? Five giants, including the Creative Artists Agency, are putting pressure on Renly. They hope that this time the salary negotiation can be raised to 30 million basic salary plus box office dividends. Don't tell me, you've never heard the rumors about it!"

Earlier, there was news in the industry that Renly had officially increased his salary, with a base salary of 20 million plus box office dividends. In fact, the five major brokerage companies were quite critical, thinking that the salary standard proposed by Renly was too kind and too kind. , did not put enough pressure on the studios at all.

They demanded that Renly must stand up and "think about the status and situation of 400,000 Hollywood actors", "seek more benefits from Wall Street capitalists, and strive for more space for the rise of actors", "I hope Renly can undertake the great responsibility for one's own status and reputation".

All of the above words are real in the industry. Just like creating a superhero, major brokerage companies are forcing Renly to come forward. If they didn't want to, they were forcing Renly to do it, even by persecution and kidnapping, using strong means.

But all these demands and ideas were ignored by Renly.

Andy was under a lot of pressure. To this end, Renly even went to the door in person, held a meeting with the senior partner of the creative artist agency, and confirmed his position; and said that if necessary, he would not mind rescinding the agency contract and leaving the company.

"I'm not a chess piece. I have no lofty artist character, nor do I have any lofty character, I'm fighting for what I deserve, but I won't be greedy beyond my ability. Don't use you The so-called lofty ideals and goals have kidnapped my freedom. You are not fighting for the welfare of 400,000 actors, but you are fighting for more benefits for yourself. By the way. I am not a fool."

This matter is very, very secret, and the Creative Artists Agency has no rumors, because it involves their own company image. After internal discussions, Creative Artists Agency chose to defect. They stood behind Renly and supported Renly's decision; at the same time, they also interviewed the helms of other major agencies to calm things down.

Thomas and Steven at the helm of such a level, even without knowing the innovative artist

The internal details of the brokerage company, but the series of actions of the brokerage company are all in their eyes, and they also know the ins and outs of the matter.

Now, it is precisely because of the innovative artist agency's retreat that all agencies are united to exert pressure, Universal Pictures has been placed on a barrier where there is no way out, and they must nod and agree to Renly The salary requirement; this also made Thomas realize that there was no way out, so he was so irritable and bored today.

But Thomas' irritability made Steven feel the anger of leaving.

"If you think Renly's request is greed, then what is your current behavior? Tell me!" Steven looked sharply at Thomas, and laughed in anger, "Twenty million clubs? Huh? In your In my eyes, the name 'Renly-Hall' is only worth one 20 million? Yes, Hollywood has countless options, but Hollywood has only one Renly-Hall!"

"Steven, don't be arrogant in front of me, I'm not one of your producers! I don't like your tone! Please show some respect!" Thomas' tone also became tough.

In the face of the strong pressure from Warner Brothers Barry Mayer and Kevin Tsujihara successively, he has never compromised easily, let alone facing Steven? Leaving Warner Bros. and choosing Universal Pictures, Thomas is definitely not to be a gas bag. Even if Ron Mayer speaks in person, Thomas can talk on an equal footing.

"Respect?" Steven showed a mocking smile, his eyes showed a look of disdain again, but his tone finally slowed down a little, "Thomas, are you misunderstanding the current situation? Not blue Lily wants to be in our production, but we're pleading with Renly to join The Jurassic Project!"

"You should know that Renly has never cared about these commercial film projects. What really cares is always those of us trying to make money through movies." Steven covered himself in it, and raised his eyebrows scornfully at Thomas. .

"Let me tell you, Renly's schedule is full, before the official release of 'Gravity'; and now the movie project that's waiting for Renly to hit Malibu Beach, I'm even willing to sign A blank check for Renly to star in my film!"

There is no doubt that the right to speak is in the hands of Renly.

In the whole of Hollywood, there is no actor who can be compared with Renly, strictly speaking, does not exist. If it weren't for the fact that Renly was too young, most mainstream projects would need to be carefully considered. I'm afraid that more than one-third of the projects currently under preparation would flock to Renly.

Only truly smart people can understand the value of Renly.

"Then let those who wait in line take the lead, I don't mind giving in!" Thomas finally said, instead of using Renly to star in the "Jurassic Park" reboot, it's better to use other good and cheap actors, this is him real idea.

Steven sneered, "Do you think the others didn't get ahead? I told you, there are countless producers rushing to send checks to Renly."

If someone had already agreed to Renly's salary invitation, then the situation would be very different.

For Thomas, he is not the first person to eat crabs, things are much simpler, he can reconsider, and things can be negotiated.

But after further thinking, the industry has focused all its attention on Universal Pictures recently. Many people in the industry believe that Universal Pictures is likely to create history, but in the process of their repeated entanglements, they have Someone got the first step, which also means that Universal Pictures' petty arrogance has been exposed again, which is definitely not a good thing for their reputation——

Especially Thomas Tull, who just bid farewell to Warner Bros. and joined Universal Pictures. This should have been an important step in his process of becoming an excellent producer.

"Who! Who is it!" Thomas immediately calmed down and asked.

Steven refused to answer and turned his head, ignoring Thomas at all.

Frank sat next to the play with a smile on his face, never speaking.

In the end, Ron Mayer said, "Warner Bros. Twenty million yuan plus a six percent box office bonus."
