Eric was chatting with Charlize and noticed that the Kate and Penélope in this situation also came together.

Penélope can still greet Eric as usual, but Kate's look at Charlize is obviously suspicious and unkind.

Charlize did not show any flaws in his expression, smiled and nodded to the two women, and continued to talk about the topic with Eric.

Eric actually understands the different attitudes of the three girls on the pay of this sequel.

In the 《Charlie's Angels》 series, Kate and Penélope have very high popularity, but due to the positioning of the technical flow role of the talented girl Jill · Monroe, Charlize has not much room to play, and even often exists as a backup role image, so Popularity is far worse than the other two women.

At this time, Charlize readily agreed to the remuneration conditions given by Eric, and implicitly hinted to the Eric that the other two girls were dissatisfied and changed. This is actually the reason.

Since listening to Eric and Charlize for a few words, Kate could n’t help but say: “Eric, do n’t you think that the contract we paid for is too stingy?”

Eric appreciates the exquisite face of Kate, and said with a good temper: "As long as" Charlie's Angels4 "and" Bond20 "play normally, the three of you can take away 100 million USD's remuneration, isn't it enough?"

Kate Immediately retorted: "However, if we count it individually, each of us will participate in two Box Office maybe 1 billion Movies of the same level 30 million USD , This is too unreasonable. Mel · Gibson in" Lethal Weapon Take it away in 4 " 30 million USD The pay for this movie is now global Box Office Not even 300 million USD What. "

"Kate, you made a mistake," Eric shook his head and said: "Like you said," Lethal Weapon4 "global Box Office is less than 300 million USD, so the 30 million USD remuneration received by Mel · Gibson is unreasonable. . Also, you are three people and cannot be counted individually. "

"However, you are given too little pay. I know that Film Studio often uses financial means to black out the Box Office that Actor deserves. So, Eric, you must at least increase our basic pay. "

"This kind of situation that you said does happen often, but as long as a perfect contract is made in advance, these can be avoided. At least, ICM will not sign you this kind of pay contract that may be exploited."

"Who can guarantee it, I do n’t think ICM has fulfilled its Brokerage Firm responsibilities at all this time, they are sacrificing the interests of the three of us to please you," Kate sneered with dissatisfaction, and some looked with fear Eric, said: "Anyway, if you don't increase the pay, I will not easily sign a contract with Metro Goldwyn Mayer."

Eric listened to Kate, and thoughts flashed in his heart, and he asked quietly, "So how much do you want?"

Kate suddenly hesitated. She was still very clear about the rules in the circle. Actor is not suitable for talking directly with Film Studio about pay, because if this happens, the two parties are likely to lose room for change.

However, after hesitating for a while, Kate still said: "" Charlie's Angels4 "basic pay 20 million USD," Bond20 "basic pay 5 million USD, the share terms remain unchanged. Eric, I think I am totally worthy of this reward."

After Kate finished speaking, Eric glanced at Penélope, who also looked at him with concern, and shook his head lightly: "No, you are not worth so much. Kate, you have to understand that your role is for me. It seems to me that you are completely threatening me with what I gave you. "

The woman ’s mind is always delicate. Kate clearly feels the emotional change of Eric, but she still immediately said: "Eric, I did n’t threaten you, me, uh, I still have Penny and Charlie, I have already earned Metro Goldwyn Mayer With enough money, we just want to get what we deserve. "

The tone of Eric is still bland, and slowly said: "It is the 《Charlie's Angels》 series that brought profits to Metro Goldwyn Mayer, which are the three roles of Selena · Gattler, Jill · Monroe and Lucini Baker. You are just lucky Become the carrier of these three roles. If I choose other girls, this series will still be successful, but you will not have the glory and status now. "

The more plain the tone of Eric, the more clearly Kate can feel some indescribable sense of oppression from the man in front of her. She ca n’t stand the breath from Eric and sits up a little bit, But in a blink of an eye, he felt anxious about this kind of guilty conscience, and raised some voices involuntarily, with a bit of arrogance: "Then, that's okay, Eric, you're going to let other girls play this role now. Now. "

Eric put down the cutlery, took a napkin and wiped his hands, stared at the opposite Kate like a cat with a raised tail, and said coldly: "Why do n’t you say, big deal, you are not a good Actor?"

Hearing this obviously warning word, the Charlize and Penélope sitting next to each other were in a tight mood. They realized that Eric was really angry.

Kate found that her fingertips were slightly tingling, which was a reaction only when she was extremely nervous. However, she still insisted on showing a disdainful expression and sneered: "Eric, you are so arrogant, you can only manage half of the Hollywood at most, even if you can't cooperate with Firefly, Metro Goldwyn Mayer, Fox, but Hollywood still has Many Film Studio, why do you think you can't do Actor? "

"Oh, Kate, do you think you can afford half an Hollywood?"

Eric suddenly smiled and leaned forward slightly, saying: "I will tell you what offended you for half of Hollywood. First, ICM will cancel the contract with you as soon as possible, maybe you will think, then There are also Creative Artists Agency and William Morris Agency. That ’s right, but no matter if it ’s Creative Artists Agency or William Morris Agency, they wo n’t be as stupid as you, they wo n’t offend half of Hollywood for you alone, because doing so, the artists in their hands will Therefore, you have lost a lot of opportunities, and you are absolutely unable to compensate for this loss. As for the second- and third-rate Brokerage Firm, they dare not offend half of Hollywood. As for the other half of Hollywood, Kate, the movie is a business after all, And it is a very expensive business that involves tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of USD. The failure of each step of the movie may cause some people who were originally in the Hollywood to lose all power and influence in an instant. Then, you What do you think, they dare to offend half of the Hollywood vase for you, take tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of USD business to take risks, take their own careers to take risks? "

Eric said these words one by one, seeing that Kate did n’t dare to stare at him again, and turned his head in a dodgy look, reached out, ignoring the extremely shocked expression on the faces of all the guests around this table, arrogant Squeezing Kate's delicate chin, turning her head still, she said coldly: "Come on, Kate, you tell me, why do you think you dare to offend half of Hollywood?"

When the opposite man turned his face arbitrarily, looking at the abominable face in front of him, Kate suddenly had a strong grievance in his heart.

I just want to pay more for the film, even if you do n’t agree, ca n’t I just talk, why should I bully myself so much? She really wanted to grab something and throw it at the man opposite, or even threw a bite at him, but she found that she could not bear even a little resistance under the power of this man. .

Clenched her teeth and refused to be soft. Even if the man opposite withdrew her hand, she still raised her face stubbornly, exposing her white neck.

After a stalemate, I saw that Kate's little temperament was almost worn away. Eric relaxedly leaned back in the chair back, raised his head and said to the opposite: "Go help me get a glass of champagne."

Kate subconsciously wanted to look away, but just thought that Eric might forcefully turn her face around, so she stopped the idea, but she froze her face motionless and made up her mind not to help this guy. Champagne.

You are thirsty!

Penélope didn't expect Eric to be so scary when she got angry. Since Eric just got angry, she tried hard to install quails, for fear that Eric would spread anger on herself. She herself has the same idea as Kate, and even both have discussed the matter of changing Brokerage Firm in private.

It's just that Penélope has completely dispelled all thoughts at this time, and has no meaning to bargain with Metro Goldwyn Mayer. She was much more mature than Kate in dealing with people. From the beginning, she did not intend to work with the Eric hard top. Now she is reminiscing about what Eric just said.

I heard the command of Eric and saw Kate stubbornly motionless, Penélope took the initiative to get up, and the tone was a little pleasing: "Eric, let me come."

So saying, before Eric responded, Penélope had walked to the buffet table not far away, carefully came over with a glass of champagne, and attentively delivered it to Eric.

At first sight, the atmosphere seems to be calming down. The guests around the dining table who have been watching the movement here and there are relieved and restored the appearance of talking and laughing not long ago.

Although I do n’t understand what happened, everyone knows that Kate · Beckinsale must have been taught by Eric Williams. Moreover, looking at the appearance of Kate just about to cry out clearly, it is obviously a lesson. Some Metro Goldwyn Mayer senior management even realized that the 《Charlie's Angels》 series is likely to successfully pass the threshold of the trilogy.

Eric took a few sips of champagne, moistened ran his throat, took a cup and looked at the three girls around him, his tone subsided, and said: "In recent years, the economic situation of Hollywood has been very generous, German, Japanese, Canada There are also various international capitals who have spared no effort to invest in Hollywood, and many Film Studio spend money without restraint, anyway, not their own money. But the Firefly system is different, most of our film production funds come from the company Our own capital chain, profit and loss are also our own responsibility, it is impossible to give you any sky-high price rewards. So, do n’t bargain with me again, and do n’t say anything like a big deal. The three of you still pay Less than twenty-five years old, most girls like Hollywood and you are still struggling to find an opportunity for even a small character, so do n’t know how to cherish what you have now. I can give you all this , I can also take all of them back. Nà, go play now, no longer need to accompany me. "

Kate said that the ghost wanted to be here with you. She only glanced at the other two women. When Charlize and Penélope got up, she dared to stand up, evaded Eric and walked to the rest of the banquet hall with the other two women. .

Kate, they just left, and the three girls ’manager Michelle · Simons came over and asked worriedly," Eric, just now? "

"It's okay," Eric shook his head and motioned to Michelle · Simons to sit down and said: "You can take them to Metro Goldwyn Mayer to sign a contract these days."

Michelle · Simons breathed a sigh of relief. She has successively bought 6% of the shares of ICM in recent years and is now one of the partners of ICM. Therefore, between the three women's remuneration commission and the benefits of the entire ICM, she prefers the latter. Maintaining a good relationship with the Firefly system will naturally bring more opportunities and benefits to ICM.

"It ’s good, I talked to them in the afternoon, but the results are not good, and I am worried about what will happen."

Eric asked again: "Did Kate want to leave?"

Michelle · Simons Nodded and said: " Creative Artists Agency with William Morris Agency There are indeed similar movements on both sides. Their cafes are getting higher and higher, and I ca n’t take care of the three of them at all times. Kapoor Already discussing to equip them with separate broker teams, try to keep them in ICM. "

Eric smiled and confessed actively: "Then your next job may be difficult. I just reprimanded Kate."

Michelle · Simons was very free-spirited and laughed: "If you can't keep it, it will be impossible. However, if the agent movie universe will continue, then we may not be able to help here. . "

"On their side, there are four main stories and two crossover episodes. A total of six big movies are counted. This is already unprecedented in Hollywood. The agent movie universe will of course continue, but it will not stay in these three big movies. In the movie, "Eric said, and said:" Oh, you noticed the stepping stone eggs in "Charlie's Angels3", right? "

"" The Bourne Identity "series?"

Eric nodded and said: "Amy has already contacted a Actor that I valued originally, probably there is no hope. The candidate for the actor will be handed over to you here to find out, 30 is around the age of ordinary, some looks, acting Enough, I do n’t have any requirements for coffee. Of course, this must be a one-time trilogy contract. As long as the film Box Office is good enough, I will not be stingy with Actor. I just do n’t want to be passive every time. "

Michelle · Simons nodded with a smile, she understood that Eric was throwing money for the peach, ICM took the initiative to help Metro Goldwyn Mayer on the 《Charlie's Angels》 series, and Eric gave ICM a chance to lead the trilogy again.

There is no requirement for coffee, so ICM is very likely to use this to train a Hollywood first-line actor. This potential benefit is definitely much greater than the direct paycheck.

After talking a few words, Michelle · Simons saw Drew leading a middle-aged man and knew that there was something to be talked about in the docking, so he took the initiative to get up and say goodbye.

"Eric, this is Frank · Gusta," the girl and Michelle · Simons nodded and greeted with a smile, holding the arm of Eric who stood up and introducing it with a smile.

Eric looked at the gray hair in front of her eyes, the eye sockets were a little deep, and the short middle-aged man smiled and reached out to the other party: "Hello, Mr. Gusta."

"Hello, Mr. Williams," Frank · Gusta shook hands with Eric, quickly took out a business card and handed it over, said: "Mr. Williams, this is my business card."

Eric took the business card, glanced at it, and a look of surprise suddenly flashed on his face.

He saw several very familiar words on this business card: Lion Gate Film Industry Company Chairman.
