"Five million dollars in pay? Are you crazy? Or were you too big last night?"
The agent thinks Leonardo must be crazy.
As early as 2000, his worth has almost touched the threshold of the 20 million USD club, coupled with the recent rise of the "Cat and Mouse Game" box office, the one-day box office surpassed "The Lord of the Rings 2", and even caused a large number of female fans The enthusiasm for Leonardo and other phenomena are helping Leonardo continue to increase its value.
If you give "Cat and Mouse Game" another month to ferment, if his global box office can reach the scale of 500,000 or 600 million USD, then Leonardo's worth will continue to have a greater breakthrough.
The remuneration of more than 20 million USD sounds terrible, even a movie is enough to make several so-called "big productions" in China at this time, but for Hollywood, it is completely within the acceptable range, as long as The actor's strength in all aspects is worth this price, then he will surely be able to get such a high payoff.
Hollywood movies have always been generous, with high movie budgets, high film remuneration, and high production costs, but behind these generous pens, there are also big gains, such as high box office movies and high copyright income.
Some movies, the cost of 100 million USD, the global box office of 300 billion to 500 million USD, DVD distribution will earn another tens of millions of USD, such as novels, anime, and copyright derivatives of peripheral products can also sell tens of millions of USD or even more High, so in this very mature business system, Leonardo 20 million USD pay is almost no moisture.
20 million USD remuneration. If you encounter a well-known director or a favorite script, it is normal for the actor to lower the remuneration, but there is a limit to the reduction. For example, under normal circumstances, if Leonardo continues to participate in Spielberg For movies, it ’s relatively normal to pay 15 million for the film, and the five million USD ’s favor has already been very face-saving.
However, didn't expect, Leonardo seems to have been kicked by a donkey in his head, and he will reduce the remuneration to five million USD as soon as he opens his mouth. Have you never had this value in Leonardo's history? Your 2.5 million USD took over the "Titanic", followed by "Titanic" global popularity, your value directly jumped to more than 10 million USD, you now tell me that you want to reduce the pay To five million? What about it?
Leonardo explained: "Jason, you need to know that this movie is not only directed by Spielberg. This movie is an investment of Li Mu, with an investment of 100 million USD, and the story of the script is during the Second World War , An older brother named Chennault in the United States led a group of American civilian pilots, volunteered to go to China, and side by side with the China Air Force to resist the Japanese invasion. "
"Li Mu ?!" The agent heard the name and his voice instantly increased by an octave.
"Is that China's internet gangster Li Mu? Which push pushed" Cat and Mouse Game "to the box office's first Li Mu?"
"Nonsense, who else would he have." Leonardo said seriously: "Li Mu is willing to invest so much money to make this movie, enough to see that he attaches great importance to this movie, and everyone who knows Li Mu's knows, He has a very strong nationalist color, so this movie depicting China and the United States fighting against Japan, he will do his best to maximize the influence of this movie. "
Speaking of which, Leonardo added: "You know, his resources are too strong. There are so many media tycoons in the entire Hollywood, but their ability to put information in the world is better than Li Mu. Much worse, Li Mu'sYY may not be as authoritative as Time Magazine or the Los Angeles Times, but it is precisely the most influential for ordinary people. "
"God ..." the agent sighed over the phone and said, "Forgive me Leo, if I knew it was a movie invested by Li Mu, I would not say such rude words to you!"
After speaking, the agent exclaimed again: "Gosh! This opportunity is really rare. If you can establish a good cooperative relationship with Li Mu, it will definitely have a huge boost for your future development. This time We really need to show enough sincerity. The pay of 5 million USD should be very sincere. The loss of although is a bit bigger, but I believe that the future return will be higher! "
Leonard saw that the agent had fully agreed with his decision, and immediately said resolutely: "OK, then you immediately help me communicate with Spielberg, give him a formal offer, and then prepare to go formal The contract process, and also ask the approximate shooting schedule of this drama. From now on, as long as there is a conflict in the schedule, no movies will be received! "
"OK! I will do it now!"
Leonardo said: "Go, tell me the result that's alright, I have to go to Google, who is that Chennault ..."
"I forgot if you didn't say, I just heard you talking about this person's name, I just wanted to hurry Google to have a look ..."
......
Tom Hanks, who is also in Los Angeles, also received a call from Spielberg. At this moment, he was sitting in front of the computer, seriously using Google to search for information related to Chennard, line by line. Read carefully.
He has finished reading the script sent by Spielberg, and immediately was deeply attracted by the stories and characters in the script. After reading the script, he has decided to accept Spielberg ’s invitation to participate in this script. Part "Flying Tigers", and played the first Male lead corner Chennault in the play, then hastily began to search for related materials through Google to gain a deeper understanding of Chennard's deeds.
Tom Hanks is very different from the young Leonardo. Leonardo although is also an outstanding first-line actor, but after all, he is young, and his qualifications are still shallow. The idol ’s composition is more first-year university student, and Tom Hanks is one of the best acting actors in the entire American film industry and best at characterization, so he is responsible for every film he shoots.
Chenard is really not well-known in the United States, but if his story is deep, it is really a very great deed, and this deed that voluntarily helps other countries resist the aggressors, no matter the level, realm or depth, very good.
To Tom Hanks, the reason why "Saving Ryan" can become a classic is that on the one hand, the script has enough depth, on the one hand, the actors ’performance is in place, and the most important one is the film. The visual presentation technique is very clever. At least half of the success of the whole film is credited by Spielberg.
And this "Flying Tigers" itself is also a director of Spielberg, and even Spielberg personally wrote the script, so Tom Hanks believes that this movie is already available even if it is only in the preparatory period. 50% chance of success, and if you come to play the male number one, you can't be arrogant, you can definitely shape this character successfully. As for Leonardo, he is young although, but he just had a cooperation with him. It can be seen that his strength is good and his progress is very fast. If the two continue to partner, they will at least bring a 20% success rate to the movie.
On the story itself, Tom Hanks believes that "Flying Tigers" and "Saving Soldier Ryan" can be said to be indistinguishable. Both are based on real history and can be very good. Showing the cruelty of war, the glory of humanity, and reflection on war, it seems that at least it can increase the success rate of the film by 20%.
In this way, this movie basically has a 90% success rate.
In addition, Tom Hanks is also seriously measuring Li Mu's resources and influence.
The box office counterattack of "Cat and Mouse Game" allows the entire Hollywood to see the extraordinary potential of YY, a world-class internet product, in promotion. "Cat and Mouse Game" can only have such a breakthrough after getting a push of YY. If "Flying Tigers" is released, how many times will Li Mu be given to it?
With the investment of 100 million US dollars, such a huge scale of funds is a strong guarantee for this movie. With this calculation, it is almost impossible for this movie to fail.
Moreover, Tom Hanks also values the first collaboration with Li Mu's.
In his opinion, the young man Li Mu is not only a powerful gold owner, but also more likely to become the invisible "God" of hundreds of millions of internet users in the online world.
He has the absolute strength to influence these hundreds of millions of internet users in the next few years, not only guiding them on what to do on internet, but also guiding them to eat, do, and play after leaving internet , What to learn, what to buy, what to watch!
The potential of this energy is too strong. Tom Hanks believes that it wo n’t take long for Li Mu to become one of the most powerful commercial people in the world, so he can establish a good relationship with him in advance. It must be of great help to yourself in the future.
Spielberg soon received the exact replies from Leonardo and Tom Hanks, and received an official quotation from their agent. What he could n’t believe was that Leonardo Many brokers officially quoted only 5 million USD as a remuneration, without any additional requirements, no dividends, no guarantees, it is the hammer sale of 5 million USD;
Tom Hanks ’s offer also stunned him, because Tom Hanks has reached the 20 million pay level in the last century, and even he will require a certain percentage of box office splits in a movie, but The price he quoted himself this time was only three million USD! The pay for Leonardo is two million lower, and the most important thing is that he does not want any box office split!
Spilberg has been a junior director for Hollywood for so many years. He is both a super first-line director and a first-rate film merchant. He knows that the quotations given by these two people are absolutely a fantasy in Hollywood, and no one in Hollywood Such a big face made the two voluntarily lower the pay to such an exaggerated level, and even they couldn't stand it.
However, the quotations of the two of them are here.
This makes Spielberg sigh and sigh, Li Mu's face is really not ordinary value ...
