Alan knocked on the door and pushed open the door of Eric's office room. Seeing Eric leaning on the office chair, expression was mixed with relaxation and fatigue.
"What's the matter?" After Alan approached, Eric asked straightly and straightened up.
"When you discuss things with Mr. Lynn, Mr. Cameron called, he said that Arnold Schwarzenegger insisted on the pay of 13 million USD, if we do not agree, Arnold Schwarzenegger will sign the contract for the next movie with Carlock Film Industry."
When I heard the name of Carlock, Eric frowned slightly. Carlock Film Industry was one of the most well-known independent Film Studio of Hollywood in the early 1990s. Parallel to space and time, "Terminator 2: Judgement Day" and "Basic Instinct" are all from Carlock .
At the same time, Carlock is also a spoiler of the Hollywood rules, because the back of the other party is supported by a large group of German investors. In order to obtain the Hollywood well-known movie stars, wantonly increase the remuneration, directly to interested Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger and other people. Out of 15 million USD's sky-high price remuneration, this price is almost twice that of Hollywood's current first-line stars. The rise of several big-name film remunerations has also driven the entire Hollywood Star's film price rise. It can be imagined that as the producer Hollywood seven Film Studio hates Carlock.
In my memory, Carlock ’s ending was very miserable. In 1995, the pirate film "Cutthroat Island" invested in 95 million USD only recovered the Box Office of more than 9 million. The huge loss made Carlock Film Industry directly bankrupt.
The reason for this is that "Cutthroat Island" itself has a lot of loopholes, but it is counted in the Guinness World Records. There must be seven shadows of Film Studio behind it. You must know that the price of the star movie caused by Carlock Tide makes Film Studio pay hundreds of millions of stars in USD's remuneration every year. This kind of thing is placed on anyone, and it is estimated that the culprit will be crushed.
I do n’t know if the script of "Cutthroat Island" has appeared now. If such a Box Office big rotten egg can be held in the hand. Throwing away at the right time is also a very sharp weapon.
Seeing what Eric closed his eyes as if he was thinking about something, Alan stood quietly opposite and patiently awaited his decision.
Thinking about "Cutthroat Island". Eric soon put his thoughts on "Terminator 2: Judgement Day". There is no doubt that the future star's salary will definitely be higher and higher. Even Cameron who has knowledge of Schwarzenegger can only let Schwarzenegger make a concession of 2 million USD, Eric thinks that There are not enough chips for Schwarzenegger to make greater concessions.
Of course, since the ultimate culprit behind this star price hike is the Germans, Eric also thought of letting the Germans make this blame, through the original "Terminator 2: Judgement Day" producer of Carlock to introduce German investors to participate Production of "Terminator 2: Judgement Day". Anyway, "Terminator 2: Judgement Day" will be issued to Firefly. At that time, as long as you do some work on the cost of announcement and increase the share of Firefly, it is enough to keep most of the profit of the movie in Firefly. Even more ruthless, the Germans do n’t even want to get all the principal invested.
But in this case, it will also involve the copyright problem of "The Terminator", if other movies are okay to say, but since Eric has already completely obtained the big gold mine of "The Terminator", this series of copyright will never be allowed to reappear Accidentally changed.
I saw the copyright lawsuit of the 007 series on newspaper some time ago. It is said that the lawsuit has been played successively for more than 20 years. Eric does not want to be caught in such a tangled copyright lawsuit in the future "The Terminator".
"I will call Jim to discuss this matter personally," Eric said after clarifying all his thoughts.
Alan nodded. Just about to go out, Eric shouted the assistant again: "Yes, help me pay attention to the pirate movie script in the circle, be low-key, don't say anything."
"I understand," Alan smiled and asked, "Is there anything else?"
"No more, after attending the premiere of" Sleeping with the Enemy "tonight, I will prepare for" Point Break "with Ms. Kathryn Bigelow for a while. So I will not come to the company, and you will send important documents directly to Cliff Peak Manor. I have an urgent call on my mobile phone. "
"Don't you have to follow me?" Alan asked doubtfully, before this kind of thing Eric was carried out with him.
Eric does not shake his head: "No more. The company has more business during this time, I hope you can look after me here."
"Okay," Alan nodded and turned away from the office.
In the late summer of June, the first part movie 《The Silence of the Lambs》 released in the Firefly summer was released for two weeks. Under the influence of the plot and the Actor superb performance, as well as the topics created by several female producers, it took only two weeks. I got the Box Office of nearly 40 million USD. If it was not to raise the budget to meet the schedule, it has now recovered the cost. At the same time, many film critic predict that this movie will become another Oscar hot horror movie after 《Exorcist》 in 1973.
In this case, the Firefly another thriller "Sleeping with the Enemy" by Julia monoclonal antibody certainly attracted strong attention. In addition, the promotion work of "Basic Instinct" has also begun. This is another crime thriller. .
Although some tabloid newspaper spit out Eric because of the acquisition of the new line, they are assimilated by the new line's production style, but the olfactory Hollywood Film Studio executives pay close attention to these three movies.
If both "Sleeping with the Enemy" and "Basic Instinct" have achieved Box Office success, Hollywood will definitely increase the number of horror and thriller genre films in the next few years. Driven by profits, Hollywood will follow suit, but the Western copyright protection strategy and production cost restrictions make Hollywood's follow-up not as unscrupulous as Hong Kong across the ocean.
In the previous screenings of "Sleeping with the Enemy", the evaluation of film critic is not too high. Although it can not be said that it is a bad film, it can only give a mediocre evaluation. In addition to the remarkable performance of Julia's, and There is no other highlight.
Of course, under the public relations of Robert Shay, the film reviews published on newspaper in the early stage of the film are mostly praised.
And in the subsequent screening, the film ’s good response among the fan community only gave Robert Shay a peace of mind. As long as Box Office can be sold, Robert Shay will not care about what film critic said. Partly through the film reviews on newspaper, Robert Shay estimates that even film critic is too lazy to public relations. (To be continued)
