The top of fame and fortune [Comprehensive British and American]

In the executive car, Lex Luthor wore a crisp and expensive dark gray suit, which seemed to fit his image of a decent and indifferent elite politician.

But now, it looks completely different, because on him, there is an extremely sexy blond stunner sitting astride him.

The high-slit skirt on Erika's body is undoubtedly very convenient for her movements, but this skirt is originally a slim-fitting style, and it is obviously tight on her body at this time, showing an overly sexy curve.

Especially except for this black half skirt, other clothes on her body are covered, only a white lace dress that cannot be thinner, and Lex sees her looming ups and downs in front of her body, which almost makes people's blood boil.

And then Lex Luthor felt Erica tighten her arms, her blond hair falling over his dark suit, and her red lips were about to press against him—

"Ring—" In the executive car, Erica was thrown into the leather bag next to the seat, and there was an urgent phone call.

Erica paused, looked over subconsciously, and wanted to dig out the mobile phone in the leather bag.

But Lex Luthor held her waist with some force, his tone was low and unhappy, "Erica—"

Lex's fingers were on her waist. Although Erica always looked fat-free, she was slender, with a slim waist and big buttocks, and she was extremely sexy. It made people wonder if she was like Monroe. In order to make the waist thinner, two ribs were removed.

But in fact, Erica is only due to her small frame, and her waist is not too thin at all. When Lex's fingers pinch, they even sink into her skin a little bit, soft and sexy, which makes people sprout out of some primal desire.

But now she was only focused on the damn mobile phone that was buzzing.

Due to Lex's strength, Erica had to maintain the original posture, she said to Lex a little embarrassed, "I need to answer the phone."

Erica looked at Lex Luthor, whose expression was getting worse and looked a little dangerous, but she was not afraid to flinch at all. She stretched out her arm and took out her mobile phone from the leather bag.

The caller was Michael Ovitz, probably about some details about Instinct, Erica thought.

She guessed right. After pressing the answer button, Ovitz's voice came, "Erica, regarding the revision of the script scale of "Basic Instinct", the producer will complete the final version of the script within a month, and The launch time is tentatively scheduled for early June.”

"And in terms of acting contracts," Ovitz continued, "producer Columbia Pictures seems to be a little surprised by your 'break-even point split contract'."

Erica was not deeply surprised by this. She was still sitting on Lex Luthor, but she discussed with Ovitz the current "actor's share contract" in Hollywood.

"This may be because at present, 'box office sharing contracts' themselves are relatively rare, and most of them are 'total box office dividends'. Only the commercial superstars with the most box office appeal, that is, those few white male stars, have Qualified."

"And in front of these superstars, the 'gross box office dividend contract' they enjoy puts the producers in a disadvantaged position." Erica's voice was calm, as if discussing her economics topic, "because it means That means, no matter whether the movie is a big hit or a loss at the box office, the producer has to pay a lot of commission to the leading actor according to the 'total box office dividend contract'."

When a movie hits the box office, the producer is of course willing to write a high-dollar check for the lead actor, but if the movie fails at a loss, but still has to pay the lead actor an exorbitant amount of remuneration, for the producer, it is simply nerve-wracking Breaking bones, bleeding to death.

In the executive car, Erica's overly calm and usual attitude on the phone seemed to make Lex Luthor a little dissatisfied again. He put his palms on the back of the woman's waist and pressed her towards him.

And his face was buried in the fossa of her neck, under her lips was her pulsating jugular artery, he even pressed his lips and teeth hard, leaving marks on purpose.

Erica tried her best to keep her breathing steady, but still couldn't help clearing her throat, and continued to discuss work matters with her agent, "And the 'Earning Balance Point Contract' I proposed broke even at the box office of "Basic Instinct". After that, paying me a high salary will undoubtedly save the producer from this risk."

In fact, the reason why Erica proposed such a method of sharing accounts is precisely because of her current business influence, she does not yet have the confidence and status to demand dividends from 'total income'.

If she is a commercial superstar like Schwarzenegger, Mel Gibson or Stallone, she can ask the producer of "Instinct" for a share of the total box office, or even a certain percentage of the income of the video disc.

Ovitz is also aware of this, he said on the phone, "I will assign a lawyer to conduct detailed negotiations with Columbia Pictures on the details of the performance contract. Will pay you any dividends."

Since the mid-80s, the global videocassette market has been mature enough, and with the extensive promotion of CDs in the 90s, in the field of Hollywood movies, the sales and rental revenue of videotapes and DVDs has even exceeded the box office revenue.

However, regarding the income sharing of "sales and leases of videotapes and DVDs", it has always been one of the most aggressive power struggles between stars and producers in performance contract negotiations.At present, Erica obviously does not have the power to ask for a share of the DVD.

In the executive limousine, Erica is holding a mobile phone. She is not dissatisfied with not being able to get a share of the DVD

What gave her a bit of a headache at this moment was the conspirator who clearly harbored malicious intentions underneath her.

Erica tried to move her body back, but Lex Luthor hugged her waist more tightly on purpose. Due to his sudden movement, Erica's arms couldn't support him for a while, and he almost hit him directly.

Lex, who had always been moody, dark and hypocritical, now had a smile on his face that seemed insincere.

And Erica obviously hasn't forgotten that she is discussing business matters with her agent, she immediately covered Lex's mouth with her hand to prevent him from laughing, at the same time, her red lips moved slightly, and said to him silently Threatening, "Don't bother me again, you villain."

Then, she had to immediately say to the agent on the phone, "As for the 'benefit-even point split contract' I proposed, the lawyer may need to add a clear clause when negotiating the details with the producer—at the global box office. The cost deducted from the income is only the production and distribution expenses and the distribution of theaters, not the so-called "net profit" of the film."

"Erica, I think you can replace Hollywood's entertainment industry lawyers, sit at the negotiating table and seal any contract." Ovitz couldn't help but praise.

Erica replied, "I just completed a project on the economics of major Hollywood studios three months ago. When I checked the relevant materials, there were two sentences that impressed me—"

"The first rule of Hollywood is that there is no net profit."

"Even the Mafia envies the ability of the big studios to make up their financial books, so the movies never turn a profit, never."

So with regard to her "income balance point share contract", it is natural to be cautious, to prevent Columbia Pictures from secretly changing the concept and replacing it with the so-called "net income dividend", then she might not earn a penny.

Afterwards, Erica discussed some details with the agent before ending the call, and she threw the mobile phone on the seat.

The next moment, she looked at Lex Luthor and accused him of a series of actions just now. Erika raised her eyebrows slightly and said in a cold voice, "Don't you know how to keep quiet, Mr. Luthor?"

Of course, if she wasn't sitting ambiguously on Lex Luthor's lap at this time, she would look a lot more severe.

Especially because of Lex's frequent movements before, Erica's thin lace dress inevitably became a bit messy, but Luthor's crisp suit was still unreasonably flat.

"I didn't make any sound the whole time, Miss Parker." Lex Luthor smiled hypocritically, and held the palm of her waist, but did not loosen his strength, "Actually, you almost made a sound a few times— "

Erika covered his lips again, and said arrogantly, "Shut up, I don't want to hear you brainwashing me."

Facing such a glamorous and alluring beauty, no man would be able to easily let go.

To some extent, as someone who has experienced it, Lex Luthor can really understand some men's interest in and desire to conquer Erica, a sexy blonde stunner, arrogant, willful, and unable to settle down.

In particular, her methods of flirting and conquering men are so easy to come by, and she can change between rebellious and naive at any time, which makes it difficult for people to resist and can only indulge in it infinitely.

But at this time, Lex obviously felt 'deeply disgusted' by her fickleness——

Erica seemed to have completely forgotten her promise to 'do something else' just now, and said to Lex, "I'm afraid I can't go to Luthor Manor, I have to go home for dinner."

Lex Luthor's mood was affected by her again. He grabbed her wrist and pulled Erica's hand that was covering his lips, "Erica Parker——"

Erica completely ignored Lex's obvious displeasure. She maintained the posture of straddling him, her palms tucked into Lex's open suit jacket, and her hands were pressed against the back of his shirt, forming a A close and warm hug.

Then, she rested her head on his shoulder, and the warm breath sprinkled on the side of Lex's neck that could not be covered by the collar of his shirt, making his pale skin almost turn red.And she said in a tired tone, "I want to be quiet for a while."

Lex naturally knew that this was just Erika's intentional show of weakness, and she was completely dissatisfied at this time with his desire to control before.

So at this time, I don't intend to let him get his wish.

But Rex couldn't contradict her, because Erika whispered in his ear again, "With you."

Hearing her voice, Lex Luthor's heart, which had always been extremely cold, almost seemed to be soaked in a maple syrup jar by her.

In the end, Lex could only grit his teeth and say to her, "You are really the best at coaxing and deceiving."
