A Chevrolet stopped in the parking lot of Firefly Headquarters, Jim Carrey got off the car from the co-pilot, looked at the window again and looked at his dress, and quickly made a few facial expressions to make himself look more spirit. When the opposite manager Carl Maxim also came down, the two people walked towards the office building not far away.
After informing the receptionist of their name, the two entered the elevator together.
Standing side by side in the ascending elevator, Jim Carrey held his hands in front of him, padd his feet, looked at the manager opening beside his eyes and said, "It's ... incredible ..."
Carl Maxim is also a look of expectation: "Yes, that is Eric Williams, I just thought it was a scam call."
On the top floor, the elevator doors opened, and Jim Carrey and Carl Maxim saw a man looking about 30 standing outside the elevator.
"Hello, Mr. Carey, Mr. Mexon, I am an assistant of Williams, Alan Fisman."
Seeing that the other person reached his hand first, Jim Carrey quickly took a step forward: "Hello, I am Jim Carrey."
"Of course," Alan felt the cramp of Jim Carrey and laughed: "I have seen your performance material, Mr. Carey."
After shaking hands with Carl Maxim again, Alan said: "Please come with me, Mr. Williams is meeting guests, it will take a while, just you can take a look at the contract first."
Hearing the words of the contract, both Jim Carrey and Carl Maxim showed some excitement, and came to a reception room. Alan handed the printed contract to the two of them and said, "You can take a look first. I still have some Things, when Mr. Williams is busy, I will call you. "
Send Alan, Jim Carrey and Carl Maxim quickly open the contract folder.
After reading a few pages hurriedly, Carl Maxim looked up anxiously and said, "Gold. This is an option contract."
Jim Carrey just nodded gently, and still carefully read the contract in his hand. Noting that Jim Carrey did not respond much, Carl Maxim also continued reading.
After reading Carl Maxim, I do n’t know what to say.
The contract in hand is neither harsh nor harsh. The harsh point is that this contract requires Jim Carrey to be a Film Studio shoots movie for the next five years. This condition is very similar to the contract of the big Film Studio era star a few decades ago. But the difference is that the contract does not stipulate that Jim Carrey should be like the big Film Studio era. Even the famous Actor can only take the death salary. He can negotiate the remuneration with Film Studio based on the Box Office data of the movie he played in. And once within five years. If Jim Carrey wants to default, it needs to pay a penalty of up to 100 million USD.
100 million USD!
Carl Maxim looked at the guy next to him, he never thought of the Actor value 100 million USD of his agent.
Jim Carrey finished the contract, looked up at manager, and asked, "Carr, didn't you mean to cooperate with Firefly? Why does the contract show that I want to sign a contract with TG Film Studio?"
Although Carl Maxim is just a small manager at the bottom of William Morris Brokerage Firm, he is much more informed than the Jim Carrey around him. After carefully looking at the closed door of the guest room, Carl Maxim whispered: "The founders of TG Film Studio, Elisabeth Murdoch, Drew Barrymore and Julia Roberts, are inextricably linked to Eric Williams, and even they are rumored to be Williams women. The recent Oscar thriller 《The Silence of the Lambs》 was produced by these three women with the support of Williams. So signing with TG is not much different from signing with Firefly. "
Jim Carrey envyed Yan Fu of Eric before saying, "What do you think of this contract?"
Carl Maxim can see that Jim Carrey is already moving. For Actor, which can barely squeeze into the ranks of third-line artists like Jim Carrey, it is possible to cooperate with Hollywood ’s hot Eric Williams. For many of the same level of Actor, it is simply not a dream Good thing.
"Gold. Almost all the provisions of this contract are personal restrictions, and there is even a penalty of up to 100 million USD. And there is no clause about how many movies are arranged for you within five years. You are in conflict with TG. Because of the huge penalty, they can even refrigerate you. "
Jim Carrey said: "How could I conflict with TG?"
"Actor starring in Williams movies will increase in price. If you finish a movie, your salary will rise to 5 million USD, TG will only be willing to pay you 1 million, you say you will not conflict with them ? "
Jim Carrey smiled and said: "Carr, I only got paid for 50,000 USD once in the horror movie six years ago. Last year I starred in TV series, and each episode even had only 2000USD. Even if you said it, it seems that it is not one piece. Bad thing, if I miss this opportunity, I do n’t know if I have a chance to get the 1 million USD reward in my life. "
Carl Maxim shook his head gently. He knows the character of Jim Carrey very well. Because he has experienced a long and difficult bottom life as a teenager, Jim Carrey values money very much. Even though he has nothing to lose even now, once his net worth has really risen to 5 million USD, he can only get 1 million USD remuneration. It feels strange that Jim Carrey who has suffered a big loss does not fall out with Film Studio.
However, these words Carl Maxim are not said in my heart. No one likes others to say that they are greedy for money. Once a cooperation with Eric Williams is reached, Jim Carrey's compensation will likely become his main income.
"Kim, you have to think about it. Although I would like to help you fight with Eric Williams, you should understand that in our identity, there is no room for him to bargain. We do n’t even know that you are about to What is the movie that I cooperated with Eric Williams. "
While the two were discussing in the reception room, in the office not far away, Eric was discussing Saving Private Ryan with Kathryn Bigelow who rushed back from New York.
During New York ’s search for World War II data, Kathryn became very interested in this history. Even the prototype characters of "Saving Private Ryan" were found in a lot of historical materials of World War II, which surprised Eric a little, because he himself did not know that this story has prototypes.
Eric intends to release "Saving Private Ryan" on the 50th anniversary of the Normandy landing in 1994. Kathryn plans to use a year for detailed data and field surveys, and preparations will begin next year. In the summer of 1993, the official shoots began. This is similar to the working rhythm of Kathryn in Eric's memory, and a movie was produced in about three years.
Furthermore, the epic war film like "Saving Private Ryan" has not been produced for three years, and the complicated preparatory preparations can not be completed in a few months, reproducing the Normandy landing scene. Building the ruins of the blockade war at the end of the movie, the countless World War II military props in the movie require a lot of time to prepare. What's more, all the work for Kathryn is going to be done by himself.
Discussing some specific production details, Kathryn holding a pen in his hand raised his head from a pile of materials. Said to Eric: "About the candidate of Captain Miller, I plan to ..."
"Tom Hanks, I have already contacted Tom, he said he would make time for this movie."
The Kathryn action paused and asked: "Tom Hanks, the nagging single Papa in" Sleepless in Seattle "?"
"Yeah, I didn't think you have seen this movie, how do you feel?"
"It feels like it was shot by a woman." Kathryn said bluntly, and then realized that he was also a woman, and then said: "I mean ... um. This movie is very delicate, not like you at all. Such young people can write script. "
The surface of Eric is quiet, but she is amazed by the keen intuition of the woman. "Sleepless in Seattle" original is the work of female Director Nora Ephron. However, Eric's face is still quite thick, and he is lying on the desk and getting close to the opposite woman. Said: "You know, I am a genius. It cannot be measured by common sense."
Kathryn leaned back slightly and gave Eric a glance. Said: "But you promised that you won't intervene in this movie. And Tom Hanks is a comedy Actor."
“Tom ’s drama is very broad. He just performed more comedies. You can take the time to invite him for an audition. I promise you will be surprised by the performance of Tom. If you are not satisfied with the performance of Tom after the audition, then you are still "You can find the person you want," Eric said here, revealing a sly smile: "But I want to use your professionalism, I will definitely not deny Tom intentionally in order to be angry with me, right?"
"Okay, I will get in touch with Mr. Hanks."
Kathryn said that she stood up, packed the materials in front of her and packed it in a satchel. She glanced down and sat down in the corner looking down at Elizabeth of magazine. She only greeted Elizabeth when she came, Kathryn was keen Feel that Elizabeth is hostile to herself, which makes her feel a little funny, how could she rob this little **** with her: "You must have other things next, then I will leave first."
Eric also stood up: "I will send you out."
Send Kathryn, Eric back to the office, Elizabeth has occupied his executive chair, looking at him with his chin: "Ca n’t think of you like this kind of woman?"
Eric picked up Elizabeth and left it aside. He sat down and said, "What kind of woman?"
Elizabeth reached out and gestured on top of Eric's head, teasing: "She only wears high heels and is taller than you by Oh."
Eric has grown to 185 cm in the past two years and laughed: "As long as she doesn't wear high heels, she will be lower than me. Besides, women in bed will always be lower than men."
Elizabeth chewed blushing, remembering the absurdity of last night, and had to change the subject: "Do you think Jim Carrey will accept that contract?"
"As long as his brain is normal, he will definitely accept it."
Elizabeth found the contract drafted by Eric, sat down in the original position of Kathryn, and said: "But I feel that this contract is very strange. The terms you made are all to suppress his remuneration in the future, then Why not simply sign contracts for several movies with him at a low price, so it would not be more convenient. He is just an unknown soldier now, and he will definitely accept it. "
"That would only make it more stiff. If he paid 1 million, our contract will only give him 100,000 USD. Do you think he will honestly make movies for you?"
"Why not, anyway, there is a contract, the big deal is to sue."
"Even if he compromises and shoots the movie for you at a low price, you ca n’t prevent him from passively slacking off, deliberately **** up the movie, and once the contract is understood, the two parties will commit evil, and there will be no further cooperation. Possibility. "
Elizabeth shook the contract in his hand: "But I think your contract is also likely to mess up the relationship between the two parties, right?"
"We will pay him the compensation according to his worth. The liquidated damages of 100 million USD only restrict him from deliberately exaggerating the price. I have asked this person to investigate. If there is no restriction, he will definitely speak loudly. And After five years of cooperation, I feel that there is no need to cooperate anymore. At that time, his worth must have exceeded 10 million USD. He may even participate in the sharing of the movie. If he cooperates again, it will be equivalent to Film Studio working for him. "
"Well, you always make sense," although Elizabeth agreed with Eric's point of view, on the surface, it was still not very convincing.
Eric just smiled, picked up the microphone on the table and informed Alan, let Jim Carrey and Carl Maxim come in.
After a while, the office door was knocked, and the two pushed the door into the office. I saw there was another woman here. Although I had heard of Elizabeth, neither of them had seen what the girl looked like. For a while, he looked at Elizabeth curiously.
Eric also did not pretend to be a gesture, gently got up to greet the two, and introduced Elizabeth, four people sat down on the sofa in the corner of the office.
"So, Mr. Carey, and this Mr. Mexon, right, have you considered it?"
The two glanced at each other. Although they knew that there was not much hope, Carl Maxim courageously said, "Mr. Williams, is this contract too harsh?"
"Harsh, what do you mean?"
Carl Maxim: "For example, a five-year time limit, and a penalty of 100 million USD."
"As long as you don't plan to breach the contract, these seem to be no big deal, don't you?" Eric converged and looked at the two people on the opposite side. Have you considered the breach of contract? "(Unfinished)
