Movie Master

Chapter 734 Mysticism

Actors choose box office dividends, generally divided into two situations.

The first is to double the value of actors. The upper limit of Hollywood remuneration can no longer satisfy their status and appeal, so they choose the box office dividend method, allowing actors to become part of the entire project and bear the risk of success or failure of the project. People share the benefits together. Johnny Depp's role in the Pirates of the Caribbean sequel is a typical case. Obviously, the 20 million club is not enough to demonstrate the importance of this actor, so Disney chose the way of box office dividends, and the final film salary was as high as 43 million.

The second is for actors to star in friendship. Many independent films or small-budget productions have a budget of tens of millions, or even less than 10 million. It is impossible to devote a quarter or a fifth of the cost to Inviting a big-name actor is not worth the loss, so the actor can choose the way of box office dividends to get paid. John Travolta's role in Pulp Fiction is the most famous representative. The budget of this work was only 8 million. Even though John was at the bottom of his career at the time, it was not affordable for the crew to hire him, so John only took 10 million. The salary of 70,000 yuan-this is almost the salary of third-line actors, and the rest is paid by box office dividends. In the end, John's salary reached 13 million yuan, and Xianyu turned around.

Obviously, Charlize chose the second option.

However, the situation is a little different, because the Mad Max 4 crew is not short of money-although Chaos Films is in a difficult situation right now, any savings would be great, especially the heroine's 8 million The pay, Lance can use the money to shoot more shots, but in the eyes of outsiders, it is not the case. Charlize's move is not only a timely help, but also full of confidence.

Now the whole of Hollywood is watching Lance's jokes. Although the doubts and criticisms have been weakened because of the results of Hard Candy, people still have reservations due to the particularity of Mad Max 4. Attitude—Even if this is Lance's work, it is still difficult to achieve success. Whether it is from the work itself or from the market feedback, from any perspective, the future is bleak.

200 million investment? From the perspective of industry professionals, Lance is still too young and impulsive...too conceited.

In other words, no one is optimistic about the box office prospects of Mad Max 4, and Charlize's choice of box office dividends is likely to be a waste of hard work. If Mad Max 4 is like Saharan Cavalry and finally only made 48 million at the North American box office, then Charlize's income will really be below the par line.

Therefore, Charlize is actually willing to choose box office dividends, which shows her full confidence in Lance, and at the same time expressed her support with practical actions.

Jerry Bruckheimer said in an interview last week that 'Sahara Troopers' was filmed in a desert, and 'Mad Max 4' seems to be planning to build a desert in the studio. A hint of banter, Aren't you worried?

Charlize still sits firmly on Tarzan, I'm just an actor, I don't know much, and math is especially bad. All I know is that you are not Brick Eisner, Brick is Sahara Cavalry Director, Also, all your current works have achieved excellent box office results, and I heard that all of them have achieved substantial profits. Charlize could clearly see a trace of light in Lance's blue eyes. Smiling, the corners of her mouth could not help but slightly raised everything, The last thing is... I like your work as the director. Every producer must take some risks when investing in a new project, and the same is true for actors. A 100% successful investment must be a scam. Therefore, I am willing to take this risk, and it depends on whether you are willing to cede this part of the interest to me.

Those wise and sly eyes were shining against the background of the long golden hair. Even in front of Lance, Charlize was still full of aura, not only did not fall behind, but also faintly took the initiative.

This made Lance laugh dumbly, he began to be more and more satisfied with Charlize, she is completely Furiosa, from the inside out, You need to go back and discuss the bottom line of dividends with your agent...or do you already have it now? Got an idea? This was tantamount to agreeing to Charlize's request.

Since Charlize is willing to share the risk with dividends, Lance doesn't mind making full use of Charlize's salary to create an even better work.

My agent would hate me for making my own way, but I've always felt that a great director, a great script, and a challenging role is a deal that money can't buy. Now, these The conditions are all met, I can't be more greedy. Charlize slightly retracted her chin, showing a smile, Five percent, what do you think?

It's really not high. If Charlize's agent is involved, it will be at least 8%. Especially considering Lance's current situation in Hollywood, Charlize's timely help may become a bargaining chip for the agent to raise the asking price. But even if it is 5%, it means that the North American box office of Mad Max 4 must be at least 160 million or more, so that Charlize will not lose money-this box office target is fully Saharan Cavalry Three times the final grade.

Deal. Lance agreed crisply, and then said half-jokingly, I hope you won't regret it.

I am willing to sign the Guolu waiver statement. Do you think I will regret it? Charlize tilted her head and said angrily, but it was only for a moment, and then her smile bloomed like ice and snow, Don't worry Well, I'm not Leonardo, and I'm not Tom.

This is ironic that Tom and Leonardo are too squeamish. Before the filming of Murder with a Borrowed Knife, Tom signed a contract to waive the confirmation right and handed over all the decision-making power to Lance, but after the official shooting, Tom was still unwilling to cooperate with Lance's work. Enraged Lance, almost broke up. This is no secret in the circle, and Charlize is teasing it.

Haha. Lance smiled sincerely, When Tom comes to visit the class, you'd better not express such opinions in person.

Charlize raised her eyes lightly, noncommittal, So, I am now a member of the 'Mad Max 4' crew, is there any news I can know? Or, what I need to know? For example, Are we going to shoot in Burbank or go to Canada?

It seems that you did your homework. There was something in Lance's answer.

Recently, Chaos Films' preparations in Los Angeles have been blocked everywhere. The hottest news is that Chaos Films rented a studio in Burbank, hoping to build a real Sahara Desert and complete the filming in it, but all the studios in Burbank have been rented out, Chaos Films is everywhere Hitting a wall, after nearly three weeks of searching, I still haven't found a suitable studio. Now there are rumors that the crew of Mad Max 4 may be leaving for Canada.

Lance showed a mysterious smile. All of this was a smoke bomb he deliberately released to divert the target. He will not disclose any rumors until he achieves his goal, even if the other party is a member of the crew, which naturally includes Charlize, I think the first thing you need to know now is that the movie is not 'Mad Max 4', but 'Fury Road'.

Charlize was stunned, So, the movie has nothing to do with 'Mad Max'?

Yes, and no. Lance said with a smile. The protagonist of the movie is still Max, which is indeed born out of George Miller's Mad Max series, but in fact the script is different from the previous ones. There is not much relationship with the series anymore, Lance has built a brand new world, and all the characters have been overthrown and restarted. So, the movie is not Mad Max 4, which is not the latest sequel to the series, but Fury Road, a brand new reboot of the series.

Although Lance didn't explain too much, Charlize showed an excited look, I'm already looking forward to the script. When can I see the script?

Soon. Lance continued his mysticism, However, your previous fitness should continue to maintain a good figure. We all know that the 'Mad Max' series is at the end of the world. If the figure is too If you are too thin, let alone become a hero, you may still be in danger.

Charlize has just finished shooting Wonder Woman, so the fitness effect is still very obvious, not strong muscles, but flowing lines, which is pleasing to the eye.

Charlize pursed her lips, raised her head high, and then lowered it heavily, Very well, I'm getting a little closer to the crew now. This was mocking Lance's reluctance to reveal any news.

Lance nodded with a smile, as if he didn't hear Charlize's irony at all, Welcome to the crew.

Next, we don't need to continue pretending to be dating, do we? Charlize said playfully with a wink of her eyes.

Lance looked out of the window following Charlize's line of sight, and then saw the paparazzi across the street, he knew that Charlize was fighting back for her being used, The next thing should be unspoken rules time, I think We should enjoy dinner, and then go to the room to continue talking. Lance said solemnly.

Dinner, no problem; room, forget it. Charlize also said seriously, My boyfriend is not ready to face competition, and his partner is still a man who is more attractive than women.

Ha. Thank you for the compliment. Lance picked up the knife and fork, and gracefully began to cut his own lamb chops. Especially this compliment comes from a fascinating woman, even a woman who makes women's legs weak.

Charlize also picked up the knife and fork on the table, biting the tip of her tongue lightly, her white teeth revealed a gloomy threat, Let's not pay too much attention to this skin, anyway, in the next cooperation , must be destroyed, right?

A wise choice, Lance said.
