The director of the film "Spider-Man 1" Sam Raimi also proposed an increase in the director's salary for the film "Spider-Man 2".

You said, didn't you sign a trilogy contract?

Ha ha!

In the face of the explosive "Spider-Man" series of movies, even if you sign a trilogy contract, it is sometimes not good to have a clear description of the remuneration.

Pay increases are inevitable.

Director Sam Raimi took over the sci-fi blockbuster "Spider-Man" with a production cost of 140 million dollars from a horror film director, completely relying on Zucker's appreciation.

To put it bluntly, without Zhu Ke's appointment, he can be the director of "Spider-Man".

Zucker is completely the benefactor of Sam Raimi, and he has a kindness to him.

Business is business after all.

No, when the "Spider-Man 2" project was established, Sam Raimi asked for a high salary, and he didn't show any mercy.

The director's salary is $6 million!

He did not propose the sky-high director's remuneration, nor did he propose a share of the box office and copyright.

Two words - sensible!

"Sam, why don't you mention the box office share? Don't forget, you are the director of "Spider-Man 1"!" The agent questioned.

Sam Raimi spread his hands and said with a smile: "If you ask for a share of the box office, will Wald Pictures definitely give it?"

"Who knows if you don't try it?"

Brokers are not happy.

He has just learned that Tobey Maguire's agent has proposed a sky-high remuneration to the producer Wald Pictures.

Sam Raimi said solemnly: "Aside from Mr. Wald's kindness, before the shooting of "Spider-Man 2", I will ask for a share of the box office. Is it appropriate? What do you want other Hollywood production companies to think?"

broker:"......"

In the Hollywood entertainment industry, sometimes being too greedy is definitely not a good thing.

Think of Toby Maguire, who played Spider-Man in the original time and space~

The popularity of the "Spider-Man" trilogy has indeed made Tobey Maguire a lot of popularity and money, but after leaving the halo of Peter Parker, he became cold and has no good resources at all. Looking for him, even if he takes the initiative, no one will take him to play.

"Then can't we just give it a try?" The agent was still a little unwilling.

Sam Raimi suddenly shook his head and said: "It didn't work if I tried it, and it made both parties unhappy. However, I believe that when "Spider-Man 3" is filmed again, even if we don't mention it, Wald Pictures will Offer a contract to share the box office."

"Remember, look farther away!"

The voice fell.

The agent nodded dumbly.

Sam Raimi felt a little unhappy when he saw his agent's unbearable performance.

"It seems that I have to change an agent as soon as possible, and he can't keep up with me."

Currently his agent is Sam Raimi's fledgling agent a few years ago, but now...

at the same time.

Kirsten Dunst, the heroine of "Spider-Man 1", and James Franco, the little green goblin, also asked for higher pay.

However, their remuneration needs are all within the acceptance range of Wald Pictures.

Reasonable.

Kirsten Dunst said: "Spider-Man 2 is absolutely stupid to split the box office, and throughout the history of Wald Pictures, they have never given any actor a box office. Divided. Gee~ I think Tobey Maguire, he's floating."

Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!

The agent Colin immediately applauded and said, "Our Kirsten is still smart."

"He doesn't even think about Toby Maguire. He lost the aura of "Spider-Man". What else does he have? He really treats Wald Pictures as a soft persimmon. Sooner or later, he will regret it."

Colin is also a veteran agent, he has been concerned about Wald Pictures a long time ago,

I know how terrifying the potential of Wald Pictures is.

He continued: "The fact that Wald Pictures holds the rights to dozens of Marvel superheroes alone is worth sacrificing the present for a better future."

In contrast, Tobey Maguire and his agent Juan Wiggins are far more greedy.

Of course, no matter how much the crew asks for higher pay, Zucker doesn't care much right now. Zucker believes that Kevin Feige and others will do it all, and at a relatively reasonable price.

if not?

Then Zucker will definitely be ruthless and don't mind...replace the entire management of Wald Pictures.

There is never a shortage of people who have the ability, have no chance, and want to be in the top.

......

June 20.

Under the planning of a group of stylists, Zhu Ke dressed up carefully and was invited to attend the celebration banquet of "Tomb Raider".

The film "Tomb Raider" was jointly produced by Paramount Pictures and Wald Pictures, and Zucker himself also served as a producer.

The film was released for 47 days and received a box office of 140 million US dollars in North America and more than 190 million US dollars at the overseas box office.

As of now, the global box office has exceeded 330 million US dollars.

Compared to its $80 million production cost, Paramount and Wald Pictures are making a fortune.

The film is still being released in overseas countries and regions, and it continues to staking the field. It is foreseeable that the box office will increase further in the future.

"There is no doubt about the launch of the sequel to "Tomb Raider"!"

This is what Shirley Lansing, the president of Paramount, said in a recent interview with the media.

However... the sequel to "Tomb Raider" has started, and Paramount has no plans to continue to play with Zucker.

That's right, the sequel movie kicked Zucker out.

Zhu Ke is not angry either. After all, the copyright is in the hands of Paramount. Under the empathy, this is a very reasonable thing, and there is no need to be angry.

"Hi, Zucker!"

Jordan, the vice president of Paramount and an old friend, gave Zucker a big hug as soon as he arrived.

Jordan curled his lips and said, "Man, you made me lose a lot of face on the Weta Digital project in New Zealand."

Zhu Ke squinted his eyes and scolded with a smile: "You are stingy and don't want to pay high prices. Is this my fault?"

In Weta Digital's acquisition, Paramount's offer was the lowest among investors, so it's no wonder it failed.

Jordan smiled shyly: "Okay, today is the celebration feast of "Tomb Raider", we won't mention those unhappy things."

Hearing the words, Zucker said, "Then why didn't you mention "Tomb Raider 2"? Why didn't you mention about kicking me out."

Jordan was at a loss for words.

Zucker is not angry at losing the opportunity to participate in "Tomb Raider 2", but if you don't pretend, others will think you are easy to bully.

"Hey, why is he here?"

Suddenly, Zucker found a familiar figure among the guests, and it was Tobey Maguire who asked for a high salary.

" "The third is sent.
