"Warner Bros. 20 million film pay plus 6 percent box office dividend."
On the night when the "Gravity" estimated box office was released on Friday, without even waiting for the exact value, Kevin Tsujihara simply signed the green light for "Interstellar Crossing", officially confirming Lanli and Warner Bros. Three cooperative works.
Then things entered a stage of rapid development. In less than three hours, the Lanli, which was being promoted in New York, had completed the signing of the contract and officially confirmed the franchise; at the same time, Christopher Nolan also officially confirmed the start-up time.
Perhaps Kevin Tsujiwara is not a Barry-Mayer resolute decision maker, but after careful consideration, he is always able to make the decision that best suits the current situation, even if he admits his own mistakes and shortcomings. This is also the reason why Time Warner Parent Group is willing to tolerate Kevin's arbitrariness after taking office.
This time, Kevin did not miss his own time.
The "Interstellar" crew is very low-key and restrained, and there is no single bit of news about the signing of Ren Li, because the director Christopher hopes that the entire project can be kept low-key, and even filming secretly, to create a more relaxing experience for the crew as much as possible. Creative environment.
But the news still can't hide from the eyes and ears of the interested people.
After Lang Meyer told the truth, he fell silent again and fell into his own contemplation.
Although Universal Pictures seems to be stingy, like Grande, as long as it talks about production costs, it begins to become constrained. It also missed the opportunity to join forces with DreamWorks, and it has been criticized by Hollywood. Now the production direction of the entire film company is still dominated by low-cost comedies.
But Ron Meyer also has a bitterness. There is not enough Wall Street capital injection, and they can’t be as big-hearted as Warner Bros. This time they choose to join forces with Legendary Pictures, hoping that Thomas’ Wall Street capital chain can help the world. The film industry has created more cost space and ushered in a new development situation.
In fact, Ron Meyer is like the former Warner Bros. CEO Barry Meyer. They are both heroes. They will never be soft in making decisions at critical moments, and there is no room for maneuver in the vigorous and resolute action between killing and decisiveness.
Putting aside other things, between Renly and Diesel, Ron Meyer chose to support the latter. This is evident. Once the choice and decision were made, even if Renly had soared into the sky, even if Diesel had repeatedly caused troubles, Ron Meyer still gave his full support, which made Diesel's heart and soul to Universal Pictures.
So, what about Lan Li now?
"What?" Thomas was killed by surprise, and he blurted out the exclamation, "Damn Kevin-Tsujihara! Go to /him/Kevin-Tsujihara! He did it on purpose!"
Although such complaints were very childish, Thomas couldn't help it. Thinking back to the whole situation in his mind, he cursed again, "Damn it!"
In the same situation, if it is another film company, Thomas would love to hear that even if Universal Pictures’ Grande image will be criticized once again, it is harmless. It’s not the first time anyway; but now it’s Warner Bros. Thomas. But he was already angry, furious.
However, after all, Thomas is also the top figure who has seen countless winds and waves. After the emotional turmoil, he gradually calmed down, and all the details of the matter quickly passed through his mind, "Then we will give up Lan Li."
Between the lightning and flint, Thomas has already figured out a response plan.
"From the beginning, we did not intend to cooperate with Renly, so there was no problem with Warner Bros. being one step ahead. Remember, we voluntarily gave up in advance." Thomas' eyes gathered again, "Look, The result of the negotiation between Lanly and Warner Bros. was 6%, but for us it was 10%. His sincerity is obviously not enough. Why should we choose to regress and compromise?"
"If necessary, we can make a noise to the media. Because of Lanly's greed, this forced the cooperation this time to fail to be achieved. We can retreat from the whole body and start re-selecting co-actors. From beginning to end, we I won't suffer any condemnation and roll my eyes." Just between words, the blueprint in Thomas's mind was immediately complete.
On the ability to reverse right and wrong, Thomas is really a master.
The negotiation and cooperation between Renly and Warner Bros. has never been a high-level secret. The competition between Universal Pictures and Warner Bros. has always existed. Andy has also proposed the payment terms of "5% box office dividend". However, it's just that Thomas refused to agree to the agreement.
The only difference is that, in the face of the same opportunity, Warner Bros. was the first to take the lead, and Renly was not aggressive, and the 6% box office dividend condition was officially implemented in black and white; and Universal Pictures is still continuing to wait and see, even now. The data on the box office of Ying's weekend has been officially released, and Thomas is still entangled.
Lan Li once again raised his bargaining chip, although there is a reason for "gravity", but it is more of a means of protest. As the top actor in North America, he deserves better treatment.
In fact, Thomas knew this well, but he needed a step up.
However, Steven did not hesitate to pierce Thomas' mask. "Mr. Tour, let us be clear that even if this cooperation fails to be reached, the refusal party is Ren Li, not us. The whole Hollywood knows it. Well, if you want to talk to yourself, then it’s not just the three of us who will be watching the jokes."
These words are really merciless.
"Steven." Frank couldn't help but reminded in a low voice, at least they should maintain the peace above the surface, and it's not time to tear their faces.
Steven no longer wanted to pull any more, he sat up straight, his lazy image had completely disappeared, and his face revealed a sharp expression, "I'm just saying that now among the six major Hollywood studios, It is hoped that there will be less than one hundred and eighty projects for Renly to join, but the only one that expresses his willingness to join is Jurassic Park. He nodded his head because of my face."
On the Oscar night at the beginning of the year, Steven personally asked Ren Li, which made Universal Pictures stand out from the fierce competition. But who knows, they have the advantage, but still play a good hand to a sparsely.
"Even if we have reached a cooperation agreement with Renly now, we must wait. First is the Warner Bros. project, and then the Disney dubbing project. Only God knows when we can queue up."
Simply put, it is Lan Li who has the initiative now.
In the remuneration negotiations between Johnny Depp and "Pirates of the Caribbean", Robert Downey Jr. and "Iron Man", both parties must grasp a measure and bottom line. If the work leaves the actor, it will inevitably face the series restart and loss. The danger of the soul, the film company will inevitably need to make concessions; but conversely, if the actors leave the work, their options are far from too much.
But Lan Li is different.
Leaving any film project, "Ren Li-Hall" is still that Lan Li-Hall; and conversely, any film project with the joining of Lan Li, the influence and expectations will be different. The current Lan Li is at the peak of Harrison Ford, Tom Cruise and Will Smith, and even better.
In the short period of time that Thomas repeated, the "Jurassic Park" restart project and Lanly were drifting away.
"But... what do I know? I'm just an old man who makes movies. Those mathematical formulas are alien words to me. I'm here to express my opinion. I hope that Lanly will join, even if it is 30 million. The basic salary plus box office dividends, I also think he is worth it; but the specific decision is in your hands."
"You can give up Lan Li, I have nothing to say, and I will not sit still and protest. Anyway, this time I am just a guest producer, and I will not interfere too much with the crew."
Steven formally put his attitude and opinions here, and then stood up, "The rest of the discussion, it's up to you helmsmen who have the money bag to unfold slowly. I will leave first."
Without stopping, Steven strode out of the conference room.
Frank also stood up and smiled and said, "Steven is still the Steven." He joked, but he didn't excuse his old friend—Steven didn’t need to excuse him now, he was completely You can blatantly play big cards, "As for the Blue Gift contract, I think that 20 million plus 10% of the dividend is a reasonable condition. This is my opinion."
Then, Frank left the conference room slowly, and followed in the direction Steven left~www.novelhall.com~ In a blink of an eye, only Thomas and Ron Meyer were left in the huge conference room.
Thomas really felt the raging anger in his chest, but he still controlled his emotions and looked at Ron Meyer, "What do you think?"
Ron Meyer did not answer immediately, but he muttered for a moment, "I decided to agree." Then, he raised his eyes to meet Thomas's line of sight, "Then, for this project, do you still decide to continue with it?"
Legendary Pictures cooperates with Warner Bros. and Universal Pictures in the same way.
According to the film projects they provided, Thomas made judgments and choices, selected the works that he liked, and then invested by Legend Pictures, and shot by the former Warner Bros. and now Universal Pictures; and those works that Thomas did not like. , He can choose to give up his investment and let Universal Pictures inject funds himself.
Andre Hamilton's Sisyphus Films is actually the same operating model.
In the face of Ron Meyer's decision, Thomas's words were stuck.
