Chapter 356 Cruise's Brokerage Contract

It is perfect to use the core of Liao Zhai to cover the skin of an American movie.

This kind of movie is very gimmick in itself, and if you play around with it a little bit, for example, if the heroine shows something a little bit, it can get a lot of attention.

In terms of investment, if you invest 3000 to [-] million U.S. dollars, and finally get tens of millions of U.S. dollars in the world, or hundreds of millions of U.S. dollars at the box office, it is a qualified result.

Every year, in Hollywood, there may be only a dozen movies with a box office of over [-] million.

Most of the time, it's around 20 or [-].

It can be seen that this achievement is actually not something that ordinary directors can achieve.

Kevin's requirements for Tsui Hark's movie are not high, as long as it doesn't lose money.

All of this is a preparation for American audiences to get used to the existence of Chinese culture of ghosts and gods in advance.

In addition to promoting Chinese culture, it can be regarded as Kevin's attempt to expand more themes for himself.

The future of Hollywood, it has to be said, is a bit more and more bad.

Completely lost this pioneering spirit.

···

Time flies to the next day.

In the office, Kevin kept reviewing the plot of Hurricane Rescue to see if there was anything that needed to be modified.

Minor adjustments can be made before it is released.

Once released, there will be no such opportunities.

At the same time, Kevin is also thinking about what tidbits and content to add to the DVD that will be released later.

Generally speaking, the movies shown in movie theaters belong to the more refined ones.

There will not be too many background stories interspersed, or some side stories with too many connections.

Theatrical movies, the main screen is ink and the main character.

And DVD, because the disc can be watched at home and can be paused, the time limit is not so strict.

So more plot can be added.

And because these movies have richer content than movies shown in theaters, they can greatly drive DVD sales.

Gradually, Hollywood film companies also played this trick.

After all, these are all green dollar bills, who doesn't like it.

Isn't the film company just for this thing?

When the time came to ten o'clock, Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman came to the morning movie together.

There are also follow-up reports from some media outside.

A superstar of Tom Cruise's level will naturally not lack media attention.

I don't know how many paparazzi follow behind him every day, trying to dig out some good scenes.

Among them, naturally also include the scandal between Steve Kevin and Nicole Kidman.

However, Kevin and Nicole Kidman are paying attention, and the media has never captured any real evidence. Otherwise, the news that the big director greened Tom Cruise may spread throughout the United States.

This kind of melon-eating drama has always been liked by the general public.

Of course, in the absence of a real photo, with Kevin's status, no one dared to speak nonsense outside.

The legal department of Chenxi Film Company is not joking.

So far, the legal affairs of Chenxi Films have fought many lawsuits, most of which are copyright lawsuits, but there are also some others.

Kevin's goal is to get them closer to the Disney legal department.

You must know that Disney's legal department is notoriously powerful.

The most famous meme is that a man was stranded on a deserted island.

In order to survive, he drew a Mickey Mouse, but not long after, Disney's legal department flew a plane to pick him up.

Although it's a bit of a joke, but being able to spread this kind of meme shows how powerful they are.

Playing meme is playing meme, it is really powerful.

Both of them are old acquaintances of Kevin, and one of them has even met at a negative distance, so they are naturally familiar with each other.

Kevin greeted the people below in advance and let them pass freely.

After a while, they came to Kevin's office.

As soon as they entered the door, Kevin and Cruise greeted each other, and then Kevin asked Cruise's purpose.

"Cruise, why do you have time to come to my place with Kidman today?"

We are all acquaintances, so there is no need to beat around the bush, just talk about things if you have something to say.

I just don’t know what happened, so I asked Cruise to bring Nicole Kidman here to talk.

Kevin asked so directly, and Tom Cruise directly expressed his intention.

"Kevin, we want to sign a management contract with Chenxi Films. I wonder if you would like to sign me and Kidman."

Broker appointment?

It means to become a signed artist of Chenxi Films?

Kevin understood with his own thinking.

At present, none of the more famous stars of Chenxi Films has signed, and the ones who have signed are all small supporting roles. This is actually the practice of Hollywood film companies.

After all, big stars demand high salaries.

With the help of unions, it is not easy for film companies to squeeze these big-name stars.

Therefore, there is really no great benefit to signing it, and there are troubles.

Of course, this is about the stars.

If the director wants to sign a contract with any film company, they are very welcome.

Directors are much more important to film companies than stars.

As long as the movie is successful, you can have as many stars as you want.

Therefore, Kevin is actually not interested in this kind of brokerage contract.

As the producer of the content, he has already taken the biggest piece of the film's cake.

The market comparison between actors and capital is not worth mentioning.

It seemed that Kevin was not very interested in this, and Tom Cruise immediately showed his sincerity.

"Kevin, if I act in the company's film, I only need [-]% of the market value of the film. Of course, the publicity is still the normal price."

The brokerage contract itself is [-] points, [-] points, or [-] points, of which the actor takes the lead.

Of course, this is for some first- and second-tier stars.

Actors at the bottom of the entertainment industry look the same all over the world, without human rights.

Tom Cruise's economy is about 1000, plus a 500% discount, that is to say, Kevin can use Tom Cruise to star in movies with a salary of between [-] million and [-] million.

This···

Seems a little more attractive.

Tom Cruise of this era is a well-deserved superstar in Hollywood.

In terms of comparison, it is the popularity of popular top traffic stars in the future.

And unlike those shooting stars, Tom Cruise's fire time is not a year or two.

At the same time, regardless of other things, Kevin still fully agrees with Cruise's dedication.

Thinking it was a good deal, Kevin didn't hesitate.

"Okay, then sign according to the conditions you said."

"Okay! Nini is the same as me?"

"Just like you."

As soon as the words came out, Nicole Kidman's resentful glance was exchanged.

What a ruthless man.

Turn around and don't recognize people.

She is now only paid between the first and second tiers, about 900 million U.S. dollars.

No way, the pay of Hollywood actresses is not high.

Chapter 357 The Smiths

It's not just Hollywood.

The whole world is like this.

If I have to say something, I can only say that in this society, men are the main force.

This is a hard truth.

In the film market, there are very few high-grossing films with women as the protagonists.

Capital will naturally not do things that are not profitable.

Of course, after the rise of feminism in the future, it will be another matter.

Capital will not do it without profit, but with profit, capital dares to do anything, let alone let women be the protagonist, as long as it can make money, dogs can be the protagonist.

Kidman complained even more in his heart, he was not tall enough, and he discounted it, he was not a human being.

Of course, it's okay to think about this kind of thing.

Nicole Kidman knows exactly what it means to be signed to Sunrise Films.

To be able to continuously get the starring resources of Chenxi Film Company's movies is something that many people in the outside world are envious of.

The low pay is only temporary.

As long as you star in these movies for a long time, the salary will be raised one by one.

They only lowered their salaries for the movies they starred in Chenxi Movies. When they starred in other movies, they also received normal salaries.

After Kevin agreed, the rest is easy to talk about.

Among them, the negotiation of the details of the specific contract will naturally be discussed by a special person. What Kevin and Tom Cruise have reached here is only the intention of cooperation.

But generally, if there are no surprises, this cooperation must be successful.

After reaching a cooperation, several people are in a very good mood.

Cruise also chatted casually.

"Kevin, this summer, Dawn Movies will have three big productions coming out."

"Yes, but even if there are three, I still have to hide from your Mission Impossible."

Kevin joked.

To put it bluntly, it is unnecessary, and it is not that there is no schedule.

You can pick the soft persimmons, so why bother looking for the hard ones?

Cruise smiled bitterly and said:

"Kevin, stop kidding, your movie, who can put pressure on you."

"When it is released, it will definitely be the box office champion, that's for sure."

Cruise's remarks are both flattering and factual.
