Undoubtedly, 20 million clubs or 10% box office dividends are worthy of the top level in Hollywood, skipping the ranks of first-line actors and directly ranking among the top actors, even in Hollywood." "A-list", this is also the top of the top.

In Hollywood, there are definitely no more than 30 actors who enjoy such standard treatment, and there are only a handful of them.

By the way, those actors or directors who enjoy 15% or even 20% of the box office dividends, such as Steven Spielberg, and Tom Cruise, are objective. .

But even for them, they can only get such a high percentage of dividends under special circumstances. Not only do they need to be both actors and producers at the same time, but there are generally no other big names in the crew, because the box office dividend ratio that the entire crew can share is at most 40%.

In addition, enjoying such a high dividend means that they will bear the box office risk together with the film company, and the loss may also be very heavy.

Pay and gain are always proportional.

In the face of a film company where interests are paramount, it is extremely difficult for any actor to get such treatment. Not only does the agency need to fight for reasons, but it also needs a clever opportunity to truly impress the film company.

To put it simply, if Warner Bros. nodded and agreed to a 20 million treatment, then Lan Li would take over other film companies' works, and 20 million would be the basic treatment; and unless the actors took the initiative to lower the price, once it was upgraded to this level, Basically, it will not decline. For the specific situation, you can refer to the tug of war between Dawn Johnson and "Speed ​​and Excitement/Emotion 5".

Therefore, for every 20 million club decision, every 10% box office dividend decision, film companies need to be cautious. Outside of themselves, other film companies will more or less put pressure on it. What the actors carve up is the interests in the pockets of the film company.

This time the "gravity" is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for the right time and place. Therefore, the innovative artist agency team headed by Andy Rogers is doing its utmost to obtain top treatment for Renli, which is the core reason why the cooperation negotiation has never been completed.

Now that Barry comes to London in person, what is more important than the meaning of the salary figures is the recognition and approval of Renli by Warner Bros. or the affirmation and support of Renli by the six major film companies. This also means that after signing the "gravity" contract, Lanly will officially become a member of the spire of the pyramid.

In addition to this, the strategic position of the sequels of "Gravity" and "Edge of Tomorrow" separates from the number itself, revealing a more long-term blueprint, and can faintly glimpse the ambitions of Warner Bros.

Although Lanly couldn't see through Barry's abacus and didn't know Warner Bros.'s plan, what is certain is that Barry was definitely not aimless in today's conversation. As the CEO of Warner Bros., and as one of Hollywood's most powerful tycoons, Barry is definitely seeking more than just an actor.

However, to take a step back, an actor who can sell 500 million in North America and 1.1 billion globally, Barry is very willing to personally seek long-term cooperation. Just like the original Christopher Nolan, this is undoubtedly one of Barry's most successful personal collaborations in office.

Lan Li couldn't help but smiled, "It seems that our cooperation will continue for some time to come."

"If you can, I don't mind that this kind of cooperation lasts longer." Barry's eyes flashed slightly and said meaningfully, and then the conversation turned and said strongly, "No matter how you choose, I hope the signing can be in the next four weeks Finished within."

Time, for the "Gravity" crew, is particularly urgent for Warner Bros. This summer, "Edge of Tomorrow" unexpectedly became a new force against the "Avengers", but next year? What about the next year? Warner Bros. needs to speed up and complete the layout.

"Alfonso-Caron said that the preliminary technical work of the crew has been basically completed, and now he needs the determined actors to cooperate in completing the remaining preliminary preparations to ensure that the film can be shot as planned." Barry did not pause to listen to Lan. The intention of courtesy, pouring out all the words on his own.

"By the way, we have booked a November studio. The film will be finished in the UK. Our studio in Surrey is ready. The entire shooting schedule is expected to be one month to two months. I don't quite understand, but I believe that your agent should be able to give a more accurate answer."

Self-talking, eloquent, and arrogant. The whole paragraph was completely self-centered, pouring out all the content. Instead of asking for opinions or talking with each other, it was a unilateral announcement of all results. The strong style of giving orders in the bones was brought to the extreme.

Lan Li looked at Barry quietly, without responding.

Barry frowned slightly, carefully capturing the look in Lan Li's eyes, and also fell silent without speaking.

For a while, the atmosphere was so stiff and stiff in place, and both of them seemed to have a somewhat reluctant posture, which gradually evolved into a battle of momentum.

In the end, it was Lan Li's chuckle that broke the situation.

However, without the slightest worry, I still maintained a relaxed attitude, "Mr. Meyer, obviously, you treat me as a producer, but in fact, I am just an actor. For work other than acting, my Understanding is very limited."

For Renly, whether it is a 20 million club or a 10% box office dividend, this is extremely rare, and he has no problem choosing any one. Before, Lan Li nodded and agreed to the "Gravity" invitation, he had never considered the issue of film remuneration.

The same is true for the sequel to "Edge of Tomorrow".

This is the second time in today's conversation. Lanly repeats similar content. Barry is not angry, but smiles, "I am a businessman, and the only thing I can talk to is the salary, the market, and the future. Planning; regarding film production and artistic creation, this is not my strong point. The only thing I can say is the finished product of "Edge of Tomorrow", which I like."

There is a hint of joke in the simple words, but it reveals a little true temperament.

"From a certain point of view, we have reached a consensus, haven't we?" Lan Li focuses on performance, while Barry focuses on profit. The ultimate goal of the two people is the same. To create a wonderful work, it's just the way. It's different.

Lan Li’s expression made Barry’s smile brighter, “In fact, you have a little misunderstanding about the producer. The producer is not just a person at the helm of budget management, management of public relations, management of publicity, and management of shooting. In a huge Hollywood crew, the division of labor is extremely detailed."

"For producers who are acting as actors, their task is to provide a richer perspective for the film from the perspective of the actor. For example, how to shape the role and how the role interacts with the plot; another example is the performance style of the actor. How to cooperate with the director, and how to arrange the performance between the supporting role and the protagonist. And so on.

Really good actors, such as Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep, can become a catalyst for their work to become even better when they become producers. "

Outside of work, the rare long talks revealed, but Barry's advice and guidance to Lan Li. He is reminding Lan Li that he wants to become a better actor, and even an actor who has a deeper understanding of the whole work, then the producer will be the most direct training position.

Barry's words reminded Lanly of Tom Cruise.

In the last life, Tom has gradually fallen into a patterned film routine. No matter what movie he shoots, he seems to have the same role and the same pattern, including the "edge of tomorrow" that is out of word of mouth. In fact, this is the result of Tom, as an actor, imprinting his personal style on his work as a producer.

However, Renly has not yet reached such a high level, controlling all the details from an overall perspective. The sequel to "Edge of Tomorrow", starting from the creative stage, may be an opportunity; and Barry's subtext just now implies that "gravity" will be the first opportunity to come?

Barry raised the whiskey in his hand ~www.novelhall.com~ and drank it, "I think we all have a lot to learn, right?" After speaking, Barry placed the glass on the table and sat down. Straighten up, "Today, you have experienced another busy working day, so I won't disturb your rest time. I hope that next time we have the opportunity, we can have dinner together and talk about unimportant anecdotes."

This is the hint to leave.

This time, Lan Li did not refuse, he was indeed tired.

Standing up, Barry left the cash on the table, and then the two people walked and talked and left the bar. They sat in their own vehicles, said goodbye, and walked away.

The whole conversation was vigorous, straightforward, and informative; after it was over, it was necessary to calm down and slowly recall.

Originally, Lan Li was going to talk to Andy for the first time, but after returning home, after the shower, the whole person fell asleep groggy, unconscious. Performances in the West End of London have never had room to breathe, and the dual challenges of energy and physical strength cannot be ignored.

A sleep till dawn.

After getting up in the morning, I started the day off with a cup of coffee. While enjoying breakfast, Nathan reminded Lan Li in time whether he needed to tell Andy during the meeting last night. Lan Li came back to his senses and quickly dialed. After a phone call across the Atlantic, Andy was found.

A simple and simple summary of what happened last night, Andy on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, took a deep breath, took another deep breath, and finally was dumbfounded, "You mean, Warner Bros. CEO Barry Meyer, open After the top pay, you rested peacefully last night without any influence?"

This... why does it make people feel the urge to laugh?
