Hearing his mother's rebuke, Stewart made a face at Elizabeth and bowed his head to play the Rubik's Cube in his hand.
After calming down a little bit, the girl discovered that she had been teased by the little guy in front of her. Moreover, she did not attack at all. She couldn't lose her temper with an eight-year-old kid.
The magazine staring at his hand was sulking for a while, and Elizabeth suddenly turned his eyes to the closed door of the small conference room.
I blame that bastard!
The girl murmured silently, and turned to Eric very simply.
The Eric in the meeting room did not know that he was innocently shot again inexplicably. At this time, he looked at Brian Kuzman and Charlie Sen. Runkel sitting opposite.
"10 million USD is divided into 10% of North America Box Office, Charlie, is that what you mean?" Eric asked only after being silent for a while, it seems that Caa didn't learn a lesson at all, and once again the lion spoke up. In the previous negotiations between Cruise and Hanks, CAA only tried to get a high percentage of profit sharing. Although the difference between Box Office and profit sharing was different, the final difference was tens of millions of USD.
Charlie Sen. Runkel glanced at Eric with a guilty conscience, and he did n’t know how to speak. Brian Kuzman beside him quickly replied: "Mr. Williams, Mr. Runkel has given me the full power of this negotiation. Responsible, he just listened, if you have any questions, you can ask me directly. "
"Oh, that's good." Eric sneered and asked: "If this negotiation is yellow, Mr. Kuzman. Can you be responsible for this?"
This sentence was just said, Charlie Sen. Rankel looked at manager subconsciously. Concerns and vigilance in his expression.
Obviously, Charlie Sen. Runkel also knows that the conditions this time are somewhat impractical compared to the Hollywood Star pay rules. But he is also very contradictory. On the one hand, Runkel certainly wants to get such a generous remuneration contract, but at the same time, he also knows that if he insists on this remuneration condition. Finally, there is a high probability of talking about collapse.
Eric saw the look of Runkel, and he immediately decided in his heart, as long as the other party did not completely give the negotiating new manager the leadership of the negotiation.
Eric does n’t know why caa replaced the original Horner. Willie. I thought it might be because of the storm in the first half of the year.
But none of this is what Eric cares about. He knows a lot about Runkel's character. This is a mediocre and unassuming middle-aged person, but he likes to hold things beyond his ability. Here, and the habit suffers from gains and losses.
So, Eric knows that the main breakthrough point of this negotiation is on Runkel, as for this Brian Kuzman who looks much smarter and stronger than the original Horner. Willie. Do n’t you have that sentence? No matter how powerful the soldiers are, they ca n’t stand the drag of pig teammates.
Brian Kuzman is also secretly cursing that Runkel is not successful enough. He has had a detailed discussion with this middle-aged man before, saying that as long as he does not interfere, he will certainly be able to win a very generous reward for Stewart, of course, he can also get more bonuses accordingly. Unfortunately, the couple refused to give him the power to negotiate.
At this time, Eric is just a temptation, and this incompetent middle-aged man has revealed the details to the other party.
Brian Kuzman knows that if you let the other person stay here. Then their negotiation with Eric will be more passive.
"Mr. Runkel, if you can trust me. Maybe you can go out and wait," in order to prevent Charlie Sen. Rankel from messing up his plans. Brian Kuzman said to Runkel with a smile.
Eric did n’t seem to hear Brian ’s words to Runkel, nor did he have any disapproving words and actions. Since he had planted a distrustful seedling in the heart of Runkel, Charlie Sen. Langke It ’s strange to be willing to go out at this time.
Sure enough, Runkel heard Brian ’s suggestion, and his body was twisted a few times in the chair, but did not get up, but said: "Brian, I ’ll stay here, you talk about yours. , I promise not to intervene. "
Brian Kuzman's hand on the desk squeezed consciously, but his face still maintained a smiling expression, and he no longer ignored Charlie Sen, said to Eric: "Mr. Williams, we all know, You signed a release contract with Fox, including the right to issue "Home Alone2". I think, even if you want, Fox will not let this negotiation break, right? "
"Then you should know that now Box Office has broken through 《Running Out of Time》 of 200 million USD, which was originally issued by Fox, but was eventually taken by Columbia Corporation. So, big deal, I will do another movie for Fox shoots," Eric started playing The fountain pen in the tone said easily.
Brian Kutzman heard Eric and hesitated for a moment before saying: "Fox will definitely not easily agree with you to change the film, because you can't get a work with the same reputation as" Home Alone ". "
Hearing the tone of Brian Kuzman, Eric once again put a big stone in his heart. It seems that Caa does not know the specific content of the contract he signed with Fox.
Be aware that the original distribution contract for the three films of Fox was originally intended for the sequel of "Home Alone". Therefore, while agreeing to the high share of Eric, it also signed a series of harsh requirements for this film. One of the conditions is that Eric must continue to make Stewart. Runkel the actor in the sequel.
Since Caa knows nothing about it, Eric is more confident and bold: "Even if Fox does not agree to change the film, then I can also change the actor. I believe that there are countless families willing to let their own family at a low price of tens of thousands of USD The child starred in the "Home Alone" sequel, didn't he? "
After finishing this sentence, Eric looked at Runkel. He believed that the Runkels and his wife would definitely resonate with his words.
Although Stewart's bonus points in "Home Alone" first part are not high, but because of the worldwide fame brought by "Home Alone", this year. Stewart signed a series of sky-high endorsements and brought tens of millions of USD income to the couple: "Charlie, I think most of the endorsement period signed by Stu is one year? If the advertiser knows that Stu will no longer appear in the show "Home Alone" sequel. Do you think that you can get tens of millions of USD endorsement fees from advertisers next year? "
"Mr. Williams. You have been talking about us, why not mention yourself. If the sequel to" Home Alone "is broken, Firefly may lose hundreds of millions of USD, isn't it? Compared with our price, our offer is very reasonable, after all, Stu is the only actor in this film, he is unique. "
Eric shook his head: "If you insist on this whimsical offer. Firefly as the payer of Stuart's compensation, only 25% of the final share is left. This part of the share is minus the sequel may exceed 25 million USD production. Budget, in the end our profit may not be as much as Stu got, not to mention the loss of hundreds of millions of USD. And, you are wrong, Brian, no one in Hollywood is unique, I can tell you that Firefly is now There is a backup plan. If your offer is too high, we intend to immediately publicize the small Actor of the sequel of "Home Alone". Through the election, we can again hype the reputation of "Home Alone". And the final production budget is also Maybe only the fractions of 25 million USD. "
Brian Kuzman is about to refute. The Charlie Sen Runkel sitting next to him couldn't hold back anymore, and said: "Eric, it seems that you haven't said how much Firefly intends to pay Stu? "
deserves death!
Brian scolded, and there was a strong urge to punch in Runkel ’s fat face.
"8 million USD."
Eric reported a number, and then immediately added: "Charlie, you should n’t focus on this small piece of pay. Take a long-term view, many people can see it. Little Stu. The greater potential is in advertising endorsements, as long as he can maintain a sufficient reputation with "Home Alone". Then, you can still get tens of millions of USD endorsement fees next year. With this, Stu can become the Hollywood with the highest income Stars. Whether it's Tom Cruise, Bruce Willie, or Julia Roberts, they not only can't get 8 million on a pay basis, but they are even less likely to get a series of sky-high endorsements like Stu, because they have many competitors of the same age. "
"Mr. Williams ..." Brian Kuzman knocked on the table and wanted to interject.
But Eric ignored him completely, still staring closely at Charlie Sen. Runkel: "So, if Firefly enabled the backup plan I just said, then there will be no doubt that Stu will fall in popularity next year, and Although the sequel to "Home Alone" may bring some risks because of substitutions, the hope for success is still very great. Once successful, you say that those advertisers will choose the new protagonist of "Home Alone" as the spokesperson, or choose Picture, this is obvious, isn't it? Think about it, Charlie, you gave up tens of millions of USD income in order to stick to the unrealistic remuneration agreement, Oh is not, maybe it is hundreds of millions of USD income, because "Home Alone" There are several sequel shoots. Either it has always been Stu's actor, or Firefly will continue to use the sea election plan and create a competitor for Stu every year. "
Eric was finished in one breath, Charlie Sen. Lankel had already produced fine sweat beads on his forehead, and Brian Kuzman was sitting on the chair in a slump. He knew that they had completely failed in this negotiation. Too. Because Charlie Sen. Lankel was completely persuaded by Eric, it was almost impossible for him to regain his initiative.
