Hollywood Starts with Animation

"Hollywood Begins with Animation ()" Find the latest chapter!

Tobey Maguire's cost for starring in "Spider-Man 1" was $1.5 million, but due to the huge release of the movie, Wald Pictures, as the production company, added another $4 million in the follow-up, as Reward mode.

$5.5 million!

Here's Tobey Maguire's Total Payout for Spider-Man 1.

Now that the filming of the movie "Spider-Man 2" is about to start, the starring request for a pay increase is due to the consideration of Zucker and others.

In a word, reasonable!

After all, as a sequel to Hollywood, it has always faced a situation where the cost of actors has risen sharply. Of course, the director will also increase the remuneration.

But... the behavior of the lion's big mouth made it difficult for Kevin Feige and others to accept it.

$12 million salary + 5% North American box office share!

Remember, it's the 5% North American box office share, not the North American box office net profit.

After deducting the cost of the theater chain, the cost of the distributor, and the film tax... the rest is the net profit of the North American box office.

Between the two, the amount of difference is gone.

Kevin Feige said solemnly: "Gavin, you tell Tobey Maguire and his agent Juan Wiggins that the actor's salary is 12 million US dollars, we can agree, but 5% of the North American box office will be divided. , we will never agree."

"Do not!"

"To be precise, it's even the North American box office net profit. They don't even think about it, just give up!"

Of course, the production company must ensure its own profit, which is understandable.

"Okay, I see, I'll talk." Gavin O'Connor agreed and left quickly.

As for Tobey Maguire and his agent Juan Wiggins, will they agree, three words - hard to say!

Of course, there is a high probability that the two sides will fall into a period of tension, and there will be no one or two months to negotiate.

"Boss, look at this..."

Kevin Feige looked at Zucker and hesitated.

Zucker shrugged and smiled: "Don't look at me, you are the president of Wald Pictures."

Hearing this, Kevin Feige took a deep breath and said heavily, "I understand."

Everything depends on Zucker to make the final decision, so what should Kevin Feige do?

He is the president of Wald Pictures, not a mere tool man.

Otherwise, why should the company give it a high annual salary?

Zu Ke thought for a while and couldn't help reminding: "There will be no shortage of sequel movie series we will develop in the future, so you must pay more attention to the remuneration expenditure of sequel movies. Well, if necessary, it can be solved by book means. "

"Book means? Boss, you mean..."

However, before Kevin Feige finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zucker.

"What, I don't know anything." Zucker played with the taste.

What is the book method, it is nothing more than the thought of making losses.

The "Harry Potter" movie series, each of which is a box office hit, frantically races around the world, but on the books, isn't it also a loss.

And a huge loss!

As long as the Hollywood production company has a heart, it doesn't matter whether you are an insider or someone outside the industry, it's totally a trick for you to not discuss!

To be honest, there are not a few series of movies developed by Wald Pictures.

"Deadly Bend", "Human Removal Plan", "300 Spartans", "Death Comes"...

These are all well-known series of Hollywood horror thrillers at the moment.

but!

Check out Spider-Man and Harry Potter!

They are the real series, and the first thing is that the actors can't be changed, and you have to pay them for subsequent movies.

Including the upcoming movie "Fast and Furious" by Wald Pictures, and "Chainsaw" which has just been approved, it is also a series of movies.

"Tsk tsk tsk~"

Zucker couldn't help sighing: "Kevin,

In the upcoming sequel movie, I don't think you'll see this kind of lion's big mouth. "

Kevin Feige nodded: "That's why I have a headache!"

Thanks to the fact that before the "Spider-Man 1" movie started, Wald Pictures signed a trilogy actor contract with Tobey McGuire, rather than a single "Spider-Man 1" movie, which clearly stated the salary ceiling. , otherwise...he will now ask for a higher price!

In the original time and space, Colombia suffered this big loss.

Tobey Maguire made $8 million in the movie "Spider-Man 1";

In the movie "Spider-Man 2", Tobey Maguire's remuneration alone surged to $17 million, including a certain box office share;

The movie "Spider-Man 3" is even more excessive!

In Tobey Maguire's "Spider-Man 3", the actor's salary + box office share alone exceeded 45 million US dollars in one fell swoop, and even the follow-up copyright income also participated in the sharing, which is at least another 20 million US dollars expenditure.

Terrible~

"Thanks to Columbia, I'm a bit brainy and didn't start filming "Spider-Man 4", otherwise, the money would have been earned by the actors." Zucker couldn't help thinking to himself.

high pay;

ask for a share of the box office;

Ask for follow-up copyright revenue share;

This is a question that studios have to face when developing sequel films.

The Iron Man of the movie "Avengers 4", why did Marvel have to write it to death?

No idea!

Marvel can't afford Little Downey's salary!

If you are not written to death, then who will be written to death?

"Okay, Kevin, I'll go first, the actor contract of "Spider-Man", I only pay attention to the final result." Zuke waved his hand and was about to leave.

"Yes, boss." Kevin Feige agreed.

The issue of actor remuneration does not require Zu Ke to participate at all, how LOW!

Once upon a time, in the early days of Wald Pictures, facing these problems, Zucker had no shortage of personal battles.

How the process is, Zu Ke does not need to know, nor is he interested in knowing.

......

Somewhere in Los Angeles.

"Toby, great news!"

The agent Juan Wiggins ran into the villa excitedly and said excitedly: "Man, the project of "Spider-Man 2" is about to start shooting, and the news has spread all over the United States. No, the news just came out, Mercedes-Benz, Rolex, etc. High-quality endorsements have been found, and the asking price is not low!"

"Uh, really? Looks like I need another Mercedes for my sports car."

Tobey Maguire is also very excited to get boutique endorsements from big brands.

Endorsement contracts are undoubtedly a topic of great concern to artists and agents.

Before "Spider-Man 1" was released, Tobey Maguire as an actor was only a little famous at the time, and he had only three endorsement contracts.

The highest endorsement is an endorsement of a clothing brand, which is only $200,000 a year.

But...what about Spider-Man?

He is directly popular all over the world!

In less than a year, Tobey Maguire has carried no less than 20 endorsements, and the lowest-priced endorsement amount is no less than $1.2 million.

He is making crazy money!

Toby Maguire suddenly said: "Juan, how are you talking to Wald Pictures?"

Hearing this, Juan Wiggins smiled and said, "What else? Of course they don't want to share the box office share, but we have to be tough, and we can't compromise easily."

"Of course."

Toby Maguire raised his chin and said to himself: "I'm a good neighbor Spider-Man Peter Parker! As long as they want to make money from "Spider-Man", they must give me what I deserve, otherwise I'm good The neighbors won't agree!"

He's taking on Wald Pictures.

The second update of "" was delivered, and the minister continued to open the code.
