After Neal finished speaking, Andy didn't answer immediately. He still had a calm smile on his face, his pupils shrank slightly, and then he looked at Neil seriously and made a look of listening attentively. But Neil's words were over, he just looked back with a smile, and for a while, the office fell into silence, a strange and embarrassing silence.

Tick, tick, tick.

After a few seconds, Andy broke the embarrassment. His eyebrows were raised high, showing a look of consternation, and he smiled and said, "Are you serious? **** Christ, I thought you were joking." , Three works, 3.5 million yuan each? This shouldn't be true for you, it sounds like an April Fool's Day prank."

Although Andy's tone was relaxed, even with a little ridicule, the ridicule in it was really clear. He closed his jaw, shook his head and said, "This can't be true."

Michael looked at Neal, as if waiting for Neal's response. But Neil closed his mouth tightly with a helpless expression, which made Michael take the topic, "Why is it impossible? This is comparable to the contracts of Chris Hemsworth and Chris Evans. Much better."

Michael raised his right hand and placed it to his mouth, as if he was telling a secret that only he and Andy knew. He didn't know who he was blocking. "If my news is correct, Evans will be 30 Wan signed six of them at one go. Disney's move was ruthless."

The implication is that Lan Li should know how to get enough. Such agreement conditions are already very rare.

Andy laughed instead of anger, the muffled laughter rolled in his throat, and said lightly, "So what about dividends?"

Michael showed a look of surprise, looked at Neil, then looked at Andy, his gaze finally fell on Neil, and said in surprise, "I thought you had communicated with you. This pay already includes dividends. "

The surface is calm and the waves are calm, but you can feel the undercurrents in the depths of Michael's emotions. This is one of the important reasons why major film companies are unwilling to give out box office dividends easily, because this is a Hollywood rule. After an actor has won the right to dividends for the first time, although he may not get dividends every time, every film Work brokers can ask for dividends, and then start a see-saw, agreement and compromise with the production company. More important than dividends is the recognition of status.

Lanly’s dividend in "Speed ​​and Excitement/Emotion 5" is only 0.5%, and at the North American box office of 300 million, this is 1.5 million U.S. dollars. For Universal Pictures, sprinkling is nothing but watering. However, the current situation is that Lanly has obtained the right to dividends, and the film box office has achieved success. In the eyes of the media, Lanly is even more indispensable. This has become a bargaining chip for Lanli to continue to demand dividends.

But for Universal Pictures, they don't want the Blue Lions to open their mouths. All the foreshadowing in the front is for this point. It is conceivable that if they continue to back down, will Lan Li's box office dividend be increased to two percentage points? Three percentage points? Or is it five percent? Furthermore, Renly’s dividends have increased. What about Van Diesel? What about Paul Walker? What about other veteran actors?

Michael's attitude, to some extent, represents the attitude of Universal Pictures: they are condemning Neil's responsibility, and the steadily defeated negotiations at the beginning actually gave the Blue Gift box office the right to dividends! Obviously, they had forgotten that Neil was able to nod his head, which was also agreed by Universal Pictures.

Regardless of the three seven twenty one, the ball has been smashed over, and Neil had to say aloud, haha ​​with a smile, "It seems that I did not explain clearly, my fault. The next three works, the global aspect I hope to be able to complete the contract in a packaged way."

"Don't worry, we will protect Lan Li's protagonist status. In the rumor, it is obvious that Lan Li is the only male protagonist. We look forward to creating a work similar to the style of'Bourne Shadows'. All stories revolve around Lan Li. Unfolding." Neal leaned forward slightly, showing a little proactiveness, adding, "In addition, in the two sequels, Lanly's scenes will remain at the highest level, and at the same time during the promotion process. The status of the company will not change."

To put it simply, there is a dividend, no; a remuneration of 3.5 million; but Universal Pictures will ensure the weight and position of the protagonist. However, this is also mixed with water. When Neil mentioned the sequel, he did not say "equal to Van Diesel and Paul Walker", but used ambiguous expressions.

The laughter surging in his chest lightly overflowed, and Andy's thick eyebrows rose high, revealing a look of surprise, "I think Lan Li deserves better treatment."

Andy didn’t go on politely anymore, he just threw out the core content. Seeing that Neil had the intention to speak, Andy smiled and shook his head, cut off Neal’s defense, and continued, "Emmy trophy, Oscar nominations, the profitability of two consecutive works, especially the success of this summer vacation, I think Lanli deserves more respect."

3.5 million US dollars, this is simply sending a beggar.

For Lan Li's current remuneration, Andy also has his own abacus in his heart, and his position is 8 million. With the recent Dongfeng, if it can break through to 10 million, it would be wonderful, but he also understood that the difficulty is still relatively large, and Lan Li still lacks more self-certification after all. Relatively speaking, eight million is a more reliable target.

As for the bottom line, six million in commercial movies is an uncompromising number, because five to eight million is the current average price of second-tier actors. For the current situation of Lan Li, this is a completely reasonable requirement and also a requirement for Lan Li. Recognition of the rapid rise of Li in the past year.

But 3.5 million? Even when Dawn Johnson joined the third protagonist of "Speed ​​and Excitement/Emotion 5", he expected this number. What's more, Universal Pictures is now discussing a three-part package agreement, including a leading role. A rumor of, then this number is not just a joke, but also an insult.

As Andy said, the current Lan Li is not the original Daun. Maybe the salary of 8 million or 10 million is still to be negotiated, and maybe the bottom line of 6 million can be adjusted after negotiation, but the problem is that Universal Pictures has not shown enough respect, which makes Andy have to be tough.

"During the filming of'Speed ​​and Excitement/Love 5', what kind of situation has been experienced, and what kind of performance Lan Li has dedicated, I think no one knows better than Universal Pictures." Andy is still that. The appearance of the deputy Maitreya Buddha, his speaking speed is always unpleasant, but there is no gap left, making people unable to interject, "After receiving so much affirmation from this summer file, I firmly believe that Universal Pictures will show enough sincerity. ."

"We know." Neil nodded in affirmation, but without saying the following words, Michael interjected directly, "Renley is outstanding, there is no doubt, but even for the boulder, this figure has already shown enough. Respect, you must realize that Lanly is not a typical action actor, nor a typical commercial actor."

"Big Rock" refers to Dawn Johnson.

"Haha." Andy shrugged and said plainly, "Then you can invite Dawn. I believe that he will be very willing to sit down and talk to you."

"Andy, you must realize that Renly is not the absolute protagonist in the two sequels. Besides him, there are Fan and Paul." Michael's tone also became tough, "Indeed, Lanly He has achieved good results in the past year, but he still hasn’t proved himself and is still not enough. What we are discussing is the packaging agreement for the three works. You can refer to the situation of Chris Evans. I don’t think Lan Li has an advantage over him. Therefore, with this number, you should be able to feel our sincerity."

Before Chris Evans starred in "Captain America", the "Fantastic Four" had already proven his box office ability, but he still signed a six-part package agreement, each of which was paid only $600,000, and there was no dividend. Of course, Disney has ensured the absolute protagonist status of Chris. Even in the "Avengers", Chris Evans is second only to Robert Downey Jr., and even better than Chris Hemsworth. important.

In comparison, Lanly does not have any box office success. Although the latter words did not continue, Michael's subtext is self-evident.

After speaking, Michael spread out his hands and made a helpless expression, seeming to say: This is the truth. Although cruel, it is an iron fact. I can't do anything about it~www.novelhall.com~ Then the corners of his mouth rose. A cordial smile was revealed, "Of course, we all see Lanly's efforts. Honestly, we are all looking forward to Lanly's ability in the sequel. For the rumored movie, we are even more full of it. confidence."

Michael paused for a moment, frowned, and seemed to hesitate for a long time before making a decision, "We also want to hear your opinion for today's meeting. Do you have any special thoughts on the next cooperation plan?"

The reluctant expression seemed to say: Originally, we did not intend to make concessions, and there was even no room to make conditions, but this time, from the side of Lanli, we opened the Internet. You can make comments. We Reference reference.

That kind of condescending arrogance, compassion or charity is not enough, it is just that overflowing self-confidence, determined that Lan Li will not be resolute, but it is obvious.

Andy’s smile became brighter and brighter, his little eyes almost disappeared, and the dull noise kept rolling in his throat. The more he thought about it, the more funny he became. He treated it as a circus performance today. Funny performance, "This is actually good, you can go to Chris, any Chris is fine. I'm not sure whether Disney has signed an exclusive agreement, but I believe you will get the answer you expect above."
