Legendary Hollywood Director

Anyway, Jake Gyllenhaal is not here, and there is no need to care about face.

The smile on Lyman's face gradually turned cold, and he stated slowly: I remember that since 2000, Jake Gyllenhaal has not acted in any mainstream commercial production, so far, the highest box office film. It was 1999's October Sky, and he wasn't alone in that movie.

Hearing this, Mason-Robert put away his relaxed posture and immediately tightened.

Lehman continued: As for the audience's popularity, he has not appeared in the mainstream market for several years. Are you sure that he still has too much appeal? You should know better than me, fans are always forgetful, maybe everyone is now The eyes will be more focused on Tobey Maguire.

Tobey Maguire starred in the first three films of Spider-Man. With the super popularity of the little spider, he has become a new generation of idols in the youth group.

Mason-Robert subconsciously wanted to refute and gain the advantage of negotiation for his own side, but when it came to his lips, he didn't know what to say, because what the other party said was all the truth.

Although this is a bit cruel, it is the law of the market that a new generation replaces the old.

Just like the idols or superstars that their generation worshipped when they were young, they have all been abandoned by the times.

Lehman took out a related signing document from the drawer of the desk, wrote down a number, and handed it to Mason Robert opposite, Of course, I don't really pay much attention to market appeal when choosing actors. After so many years, Jack I'm looking forward to what kind of charm he will explode after returning to mainstream movies, but before that, he first needs a chance to return to the public eye. I think my movie should be good. You watch it first Look at the conditions.

While Mason read the relevant treaties one by one, Lehman did not relax, and continued to pursue the victory, drawing a big cake.

You can also think about it from another angle. If the movie he collaborated with me this time is released, and the results are just good, even if he can't rely on this to become popular again, at least his performance record will look better, right? At that time, His worth has the existing achievements as the basis, will it be more confident to increase the salary? And if you are still unwilling, I have nothing to say, I can only sincerely hope that the next time there will be Opportunity to collaborate.”

Good things and bad things have been said, and the big stick has been given, and the rest is to see the power of sweet dates.

He said so much, of course, to lower the price.

Oh, no, that's not called price reduction, it's called reasonable salary conditions.

After all, the agent Mason, like all qualified agents, has always been serious about maximizing benefits as much as possible.

Mason Robert silently looked at the contract and never spoke.

All of Ryman's arguments refuted some of the advantages he said one by one, and now his mood is not as calm as he seems to be.

He just wants to rise first, then slowly, step by step, drop down, and finally get a relatively good salary, that's all. As the so-called face, he wants everything.

What's more, there is nothing wrong with his negotiating method, but he underestimated Lehmann.

Maybe he can't understand why a rather young director is only talented in directing, how can he be proficient in negotiation.

It's like an old fox that has been hardened in battle.

With all the coherent words, Mason didn't know how to answer what Mason said. At first glance, it seems that they should sign the contract immediately, but think about it carefully, the conditions are all the other party will come out, and they have no leeway to fight for it. Isn't that his dereliction of duty? Mason thought to himself, forcing himself to calm down first.

After the big stick, sweet dates and cakes, Lehman played another rational card, The salary of $1 million seems to be a bit low, but the budget of this movie is also limited. Let's add an additional condition, as long as the movie The box office can exceed 100 million. We can take part of the profit as a box office reward. I guarantee that this part of the money will not be less than 500,000 US dollars. As for the final amount, it depends on the height of the box office. But no matter what. , we have this intention.

Well, the salary condition given in the contract is one million dollars.

Mason was of course dissatisfied after reading it. He was still thinking about how to increase the price. As a result, when the box office incentive came out, he found that he was actually a little moved.

After all, what he originally thought was only 1.5 million US dollars. Perhaps in order to cooperate smoothly, it is not impossible to drop further.

After thinking for a while, he finally nodded and said, Okay, let's talk about it this way.

Finally, after another half-hour of tug of war, the detailed actor contract was also determined.

The basic salary of Jake Gyllenhaal's participation in Micro Love is 1 million US dollars, which is paid in two installments (before and after the filming), and an incentive clause is added. After the film box office reaches 100 million in North America, the reward will be 50 10,000; for each additional 20 million thereafter, an additional 100,000 will be awarded. But there is a limit of $1 million. In other words, after the film's box office in North America reaches 200 million, no matter whether there is room for growth, there will only be $1 million as an incentive.

After the two parties negotiated the remuneration, it did not end here.

There's a lot more to be determined when it comes to the treatment of actors.

For example, studio problems, accommodation problems, travel problems, cooperation with publicity problems...

After all, in most cases, the fixed compensation paid by the production company already includes the compensation for all promotional activities related to the film.

This part is also closely related to the actors.

Because reasonable publicity is conducive to expanding popularity, and popularity is linked to future remuneration.

Let's just say, for many things, Hollywood has its own set of industry rules.

Those so-called super-a superstars, A-level stars (first-tier), second-tier and third-tier minor actors who are not in the mainstream, and supporting roles can all be calculated on the basis of performance.

By the next day, Lyman finally negotiated a contract with Mason-Robert and its guarantees.

This speed is also fast. Some Hollywood blockbuster projects can be completed for more than half a year.

Then he struck while the iron was hot, and called Jake Gyllenhaal and several industry lawyers. Under their witness, Jake took a pen and signed his name in the contract.

Even this is a done deal.

The contract is in duplicate, and each is received.

Lyman then smiled at Jake Gyllenhaal: If there is nothing else, you can join the group early.
