Chapter 680: The game between management and actors

The overt and covert comparisons of several actors are mostly based on the emotional effect of dissatisfaction and envy and the consideration of interests. watermark ad test watermark ad test

——Why do we take hundreds of thousands when Depp takes 20 million?

That's the idea of ​​lead actors like Orlando Bloom.

There is a meaning inside and outside the words, increase in value.

In Disney's concept, in addition to ensuring the role of the captain and the image of the audience, actors like Orlando are not very good, and they are used to set off. If a green leaf wants to increase his value, isn't it a mess.

As for actress Keira Knightley, a few people knew her before she starred in Pirates of the Caribbean.

Most of her current fame and achievements are based on this series, and the setting is because this film is too manly, it needs a vase to give it a little charm, and of course it is not valued by Disney.

And it's really annoying to fight for a little money - Disney rarely makes any money at the box office, and always pays a lot of money, as long as it can break even online.

Therefore, Disney is willing to be generous, on the premise that the production expenditure cannot be too high.

After all, anyone who is familiar with Disney knows that this company likes the model of not paying online, making money offline and the surrounding area, and increasing brand influence. Actors bid up.

......

"Stabilize them, and talk to Depp's agent first."

Disney, CEO's Office, Robert Iger indifferently instructed.

The situation was not bad at first, but because of the negligence at the beginning, it is even more difficult to deal with now.

However, the shrewd manager caught the key point for the first time-as long as he reached an agreement with Johnny Depp, the rest are trivial matters. I believe that several other agents will make the best judgment based on the situation.

"Also, only the basic salary can be negotiated, and peripheral interests cannot be relaxed, even if the salary is more."

Disney's largest and most complete profit map, of course, cannot be opened up.

......

In a mansion in Beverly Hills, Jerry Bruckheimer, the producer of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, is also angrily knocking on the table at this moment.

The project was delayed, and he was undoubtedly the most affected person.

And greatly damaged the interests of his studio.

You must know that Jerry is responsible for taking over and building a successful pirate culture that Disney wants to gain influence on the new theme of its amusement park.

Who would have thought that a propaganda tool has become a powerful tool for attracting money, but the cake has become bigger and more people are envious.

Moreover, at that time Depp was at an embarrassing age, and he was in the same position as an actor. It was he who helped Depp complete the gorgeous streak in his career, jumped into the 20 million club, and became a box-office superstar, which was a breakthrough. got an Oscar nomination...

Then, what is the reward? In addition to verbal gratitude, taking advantage of the situation to get high pay is very positive.

Jerry's studio is co-producing with Disney, and the risk of the project has greatly increased. Jerry Bruckheimer is more worried about box office failure than Disney and can't make money back, because what he takes most is box office share and DVD revenue... ...

Another point is that the director Gore Verbinski also gets the basic salary plus box office share. The actors get more, and the behind-the-scenes naturally get less cake. This is a headache.

Therefore, he does not want to see such a situation, and Disney's idea is to ensure the influence of offline and surrounding copyrights, and will not deliberately suppress them, because they can negotiate, the big deal is box office money, not a cent, anyway, other profit channels Just make some money...  

The differences between the two sides are not quite the same.

What's even more unpleasant is that this price is too harsh.

If it really followed the requirements of the actors, the budget for continuous shooting would have skyrocketed...

What's more depressing is that director Gore Verbinski doesn't want to take on this series anymore, and he doesn't like it because of the repeated repetitions. Therefore, the future of this series is full of variables.

As a producer, the most annoying thing is variables.

Jerry Bruckheimer closed his eyes and thought for a long time.

Finally, with a long sigh, he picked up the phone and called Depp.

I have to admit that, considering the market factors, in any case, the captain is really a super bonus, and we can only talk about it according to his temperament.

- Who makes people have this value?

Let's play emotional cards, this eccentric and alternative actor is actually very smart and has a sense of proportion...

......

All the preparations that should be made have been made, and Leiman did not hesitate much, and after lunch, he went to the appointed place.

In fact, he really wanted to delay for a while, gather momentum and let Fox worry more.

But if Rupert personally invited him, he could only go to see him.

When he went to the clubhouse, the manager on duty led him to a private room.

Seeing a bald old man stand up from his seat, Lyman hurriedly stepped forward and shook hands with him.

Looking up and looking at it, it is almost the same as the one in memory.

It's just that Lehman's impression of him at that time came from the raging wiretapping scandal - the whistleblower of the wiretapping incident even died at home.

And now, Rupert, who is 74 years old, still looks very healthy and has a kind smile. I don't know, I must think that he is a very friendly person, but he will not think that this person has no bottom line in doing things.

Thinking of this, Lehman felt a little uneasy.

All along, except for Harvey, most of the people who deal with him have followed business rules and easily tore their faces, which is not like this slasher is very courageous.

I want your life, I really want your life.

But having said that, if people invite them in person, wouldn't they be more offended if they don't come.

It can be said that as soon as we meet, I always feel a wicked smile under his smile, which may also be caused by stereotypes.

Who let this guy eavesdrop on the door, the cold-faced photo is particularly fresh in memory, eavesdropping on the royal family and the military, you are quite daring.

Of course, it was also after the eavesdropping that the Murdoch Group, a century-old newspaper with enough weight to influence the British election, ceased publication and forced the Murdoch Group to abandon its 12 billion plan to acquire Sky TV to supplement the group's strength. .

Moreover, the personal image has suffered a great blow, and the stock price has shrunk...

At this time, the eavesdropping door has already begun to ferment, but the Murdoch Group's crisis public relations have been handled well. As soon as the matter came up, two executives resigned and took the initiative to throw the blame on their subordinates.

Unfortunately, once a crisis of confidence occurs, countless people stare at it.

Rupert Murdoch is expected to lose his composure soon, and he thinks things are under control...

Lyman sat opposite him, and Rupert smiled to let him not be restrained, and said that he was just chatting.

Lyman nodded, still paying attention to his sitting posture.

It doesn't matter if you lower your posture now. Anyway, the financial resources and resources at his disposal are not of the same order as Lehman's, so it's not ashamed to admit it.

Smart people know when to be tough and when to be respectful.

Rupert wore glasses, looked at Lyman with a smile, and continued to speak in no hurry.

On occasions like this, the rhythm of the conversation must be on the heavier person, he doesn't speak, and Lyman is quite quiet.

For a while, there was an inexplicable sense of oppression.

After a while, Rupert broke the deadlock with a smile, "Ryman, you are 31 years old, right?"

"Exactly."

"It's really young and promising. When I was 30 years old, I was still worrying about how to restructure and optimize the assets of two newspapers that were not selling well..."

Although it is not clear why Rupert said these things, Lyman did not flatter himself along the topic, but paid more attention to his words, for fear of being dug up.

His steadiness makes Rupert look up to him~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The more people who are suddenly successful, the more they know that not everyone is not affected by their current wealth and status.

It's easier to deal with this kind of person who is very flirtatious, just praise him more.

After this test, Rupert suddenly said again: "The "Sparta" with a budget of more than 60 million produced by Firefly should have already started."

"Yes, it's been filming for a few days."

"How to arrange the schedule?"

"If it goes well, it will be tentatively scheduled around Christmas."

"Oh, why not go to the Christmas screening?"

This is a good question. It’s not because of insufficient theater resources, so we can only show it earlier or later to avoid your ace projects, Lehmann thought to himself.

Of course, since Rupert would ask such a question, he naturally knew that Firefly's distribution capability was insufficient, and leisurely threw a bargaining chip...
