Superstars Start with Krypton Gold

"Director Li, we meet again."

After playing polo, Harry Tiweedy withdrew from the polo field and returned to the glass room.

Looking at Harry Tiwidi, who is holding a helmet protector in his left hand and a polo club in his right hand, if he didn't know that he is really 52 years old, Li Zian might think that he is at most 40 years old, and he still has that kind of charm Uncle type man.

"Mr. Harry Tiweedy, we meet again." Li Zi'an got up and shook hands with Harry Tiweedy, then said with a smile: "I wonder if Mr. Harry Tiweedy called me today, is there any good news for you?" tell me?"

"Your intuition is right."

Harry Tiwedi responded with a smile, put down the things in his hand, and then he gestured to the assistant next to him, who immediately took a step forward and put a check respectfully on Li Zian's body forward.

Seeing the blank check in front of him, Li Zian was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Harry Tiwidi with some puzzlement.

This check was exactly the blank check that Li Zian and the script had left to Harry Tiweedy the day before yesterday, but now Harry Tiweedy returned it intact, but the other party said it was good news, This makes Li Zian a little confused now.

"Mr. Harry Tweedy, are you...?"

Li Zian picked up the blank check on the table and asked a little puzzled.

Harry Tiweedy smiled: "I accepted the script, but the pay, I don't want money."

Li Zian was overjoyed when he heard Harry Tiweedy's previous sentence, but before he could express it, he heard the latter sentence.

"Mr. Harry Tiweedy, you... you want a share?"

Li Zian is no longer a novice now, after thinking about what Harry Tiwedi said a little, he understood the other party's hidden meaning.

"That's right."

Harry Tiweedy complied calmly.

Hearing this, Li Zian lowered his head and pondered for a while.

It was beyond his expectation that Harry Tiweedy would not want the salary but would share it, but it was reasonable.

Every international first-line movie star symbolizes unparalleled appeal and influence behind it.

If they join in a movie, there will be a fairly intuitive increase in the box office of the movie, and these people have a huge amount of traffic. In the early stage of the movie, as long as their names are released, there is no need for deliberate publicity Marketing, there will be countless media rushing to report.

Because of this, these international frontlines have the capital to negotiate terms with investors on an equal footing.

And some investors, in order to control the cost of initial investment, many people are willing to sign sharing contracts with these international frontlines.

Otherwise, the sky-high salary of hundreds of millions of dollars would really put pressure on some movie investors.

Therefore, it is relatively common behavior in the big-budget movie circle to use the box office share to settle the remuneration for the international frontline.

For the movie "Let's Wrestle, Dad", Li Zian's initial investment budget was within 100 million Chinese dollars, but if he wanted to invite Harry Tiwidi to join him, then this budget would be directly expanded to 200 million.

It can be said that Harry Tiweedy's salary alone accounted for 50% of the investment in the entire film.

But even so, Li Zian still thinks it's worth it.

Because of Harry Tiwidi's acting skills, popularity, influence, professionalism and many other factors, he is worth the price.

Originally, Li Zi'an's psychological quotation for Harry Tiweedy's salary budget was very high, because he knew very well how valuable the movie "Let's Wrestle, Dad" would be if it was made well.

However, Li Zian did not expect that Harry Tiweedy would ask for a share in advance. The main reason is that when Li Zian makes movies in China, he basically cooperates with second- and third-tier actors. I haven't been in touch.

Li Zian pondered for a moment, and he said, "Mr. Harry Tiweedy, how much box office revenue do you think you want?"

"Director Li, if my salary is not counted, how much is our investment in this movie?" Harry Tiwidi did not respond, but asked rhetorically.

Li Zi'an heard the words, and said calmly: "If the actor's salary is excluded, my estimated investment is about 700 million rupees."

Initially Li Zian’s expected investment of 100 crore rupees included the remuneration he planned to hire a second-tier actor in India as the male lead. Now that the male lead has Harry Tiwidi joining, the budget is nearly 300 million rupees. Naturally, it must be excluded.

"Then Director Li, what was your original psychological expectation for my film salary?" Harry Tiwidi asked again.

"Around 1 billion rupees."

Li Zian responded.

"Well, that's a pretty high price."

Harry Tiweedy made a more pertinent comment.

At present, the prices of international first-line movie stars generally range from 50 million to 200 million.

There is a huge price range in the middle, which is related to many factors of international movie stars, such as influence, popularity, traffic, influence radiation range, ability, acting skills, word of mouth and many other factors.

At present, most of the international movie stars who can earn more than 100 million film salaries in the world are in China.

Because China's current film and television market is unprecedentedly prosperous, and major capital giants have entered the market one after another, the status of China's movie stars has naturally risen.

And a movie star like Harry Tiweedy, in terms of the scope of influence radiation, naturally cannot compare with the international movie stars in China.

The influence of international movie stars in China is radiated all over the world, and they are extremely popular in all continents of the world. Although Harry Tiwiddie is also famous all over the world, his influence is mainly concentrated in Asia. The embodiment of multiple values ​​lies in his ability.

Therefore, the expected salary price given by Li Zi'an is 1 billion rupees, which is naturally considered a relatively high level for Harry Tiwidi, whose salary is usually around 800 million rupees.

"Since that's the case, I want 40% of the film's box office share, isn't it too much?"

Harry Tiweedy pondered for a moment before he opened his mouth and made his offer.

When Li Zian heard the price offered by Harry Tiweedy, Li Zian immediately smiled and shook his head: "Mr. Harry Tiweedy, 40% of the box office share is too high..."

"Too high?" Harry Tiweedy was a little stunned: "Director Li, according to the investment ratio, I want 40% of the box office share, which can't be called high."

Hearing this, Li Zian chuckled and said, "Mr. Harry Tiweedy, the box office share shouldn't be calculated like this. Don't bully me when I'm young."

"I wrote the script of this movie, I set up the crew, and I am the director. If this movie is fully invested by me, then these are naturally negligible, but Mr. Harry Tiwedi, you want to enter, Then we have to calculate these things, after all, my hard work is also valuable."

If the previous invitation was a cooperation between the strong and powerful, then it is now a sale.

Li Zian can tell the difference between the two, and Li Zian believes that Harry Tiwedi can also tell the difference.

"What's more, I still hold huge resources in my hands. After the movie is shot, I have the ability to make the movie released in China, and even work hard to make the movie released in the whole of Asia. How should I calculate my channel fee? Woolen cloth?"

Li Zian counted the chips in his hand for Harry Tiweedy with a smile on his face, and his tone was calm, but Li Zian's smile looked more and more like a little fox to Harry Tiweedy.

So shrewd!

Know too much!

Harry Tweedy called genius in his heart.

"So, if Mr. Harry Tiweedy intends to buy shares, I can only give you this amount."

Li Zian finally finished speaking, and slowly stretched out two fingers.

"20%?" Seeing this, Harry Tiwiddie shook his head again and again and said, "This share is too low. If the box office of our movie is not high by then, then my work will be in vain."

Hearing this, Li Zian shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile, "If you, Mr. Harry Tiweedy, don't have confidence in the movie's box office, you can still choose to settle the salary. What I said before is still valid."

As Li Zian said, he reached out and pushed the blank check on the table slowly towards Harry Tiwedi.

"this……"

Harry Tweedy suddenly struggled.

He was a little reluctant to ask for the salary, because he was very optimistic about the value of the script, and Li Zian held the channel of Huaxia Cinemas in his hand. His intuition told him that this movie had the possibility of a big hit at the box office.

In terms of share, the share given by Li Zian is really too low. According to Li Zian's calculation just now, and from the analysis of Li Zian's expression, his success rate of bidding up the price should not be very high.

So whether to share or pay, Harry Tiwidi is really a little undecided now.

Harry Tiweedy was thinking on this side, and Li Zian was also thinking on the other side.

First of all, what Li Zian needs to ensure is to stabilize Harry Tiweedy to join his film, and secondly, under this premise, try to strive for the greatest benefit for himself.

Inside the glass room, the air-conditioning was blowing.

Anya and the others were all waiting quietly, and none of them had the right to intervene in the negotiations between Li Zian and Harry Tiwedi.

After about a minute of silence, Li Zian suddenly smiled.

"Mr. Harry Tiweedy, I wonder if you are interested in making a VAM agreement?"

"oh?"
