Hollywood legendary director

Anyway, Jack Gyllenhaal was not there, and he didn't need to care about face.

The smile on Lehman’s face gradually turned cold, and he slowly stated: “I remember that Jack Gyllenhaal has not appeared in any mainstream commercial production since 2000. So far, the highest box office movie. It was "October Sky" in 1999, and he was not alone in that movie."

Hearing this, Mason Robert put away his relaxed posture and immediately tightened.

Lehman continued: "As for the audience's popularity, he has not appeared in the mainstream market for several years. Are you sure there is still too much appeal? You should know better than me that fans are always forgetful. Maybe everyone now Toby Maguire’s eyes are more concerned."

Toby Maguire is the star of the first three parts of "Spider-Man". With the super popularity of Spider-Man, he has become a new generation of idols among the teenagers.

Mason-Robert subconsciously wanted to refute and gain the advantage of negotiation for his side, but when he came to his lips, he didn't know what to say, because the other party said all the facts.

Although these words are a bit cruel, it is the law of the market that the new generation replaces the old.

Just like the idols or superstars of their generation when they were young, they have all been abandoned by the times.

Lehman took out a related contract document from the drawer of the desk, wrote down a number, and handed it to Mason Robert opposite, "Of course, I don’t really care about market appeal when choosing actors. Jack has gone through all these years. I am looking forward to his return to mainstream movies, what kind of charm he will burst out, but before that, he needs a chance to return to the public eye. I think my movie should be good. You watch first It depends on the conditions."

While Mason was reading the relevant treaties one by one, Lehman didn't relax, and continued to pursue the victory, drawing the big pie.

"You can also think about it from another angle. If the movie he collaborated with me this time is released, and the results are just good, even if he can't make a big hit again with this, at least his performance history will be better, right? With his current achievements as a reliance, will he be more confident about increasing his salary? And if you are still unwilling, I have nothing to say, I can only sincerely hope that next time Opportunity to cooperate."

All good things and bad words have been said, and the big stick has been given, and the rest is the power of sweet jujube.

He said so much, of course he wanted to keep prices down.

Oh, that's not right, it's not called price reduction, but reasonable salary terms.

After all, the agent of Mason, like all qualified agents, has always been serious about maximizing benefits as much as possible.

Mason Robert looked at the contract silently, but never said a word.

All of Lyman's arguments refuted some of his advantages one by one, and now his mood was not as calm as he seemed.

He just wants to rise first, and slowly, step by step, to fall, and finally get a better salary.As the so-called face, he wants it all.

What's more, there is nothing wrong with his negotiation method, but he underestimated Lehman.

Maybe he can't understand why a rather young director has the talent for directing, and how he is good at negotiation.

It's like an old fox with a "field-tested".

With all the clear words, I didn't know how to answer Mason's words.At first glance, it seemed that they should sign a contract immediately, but if you think about it carefully, the other party will come out with all the conditions, and they have no room to win.Isn't this his negligence?Mason thought to himself, forcing himself to calm down first.

Great stick, after sweet dates and biscuits, Lehman played another reasoning card, "The salary of 1 million US dollars seems to be a little bit less, but the budget of this movie is also limited. So let’s add an additional condition, as long as the movie The box office can exceed 100 million, and we can take part of the profit as a box office reward. I guarantee that this part of the money will not be less than 500,000 US dollars. As for the final amount, it depends on what height the box office can reach. But no matter what , We have this intention."

Well, the salary conditions given in the contract are one million dollars.

Mason was of course dissatisfied after seeing it. He was still thinking about how to increase the price. As a result, when the box office was motivated, he found that he was a little moved.

After all, what he originally thought was only 1.5 million US dollars. Maybe in order to cooperate smoothly, it is not impossible to go down.

He thought for a while, and finally nodded: "Okay, let's just talk about it."

Finally, after another half an hour of seesaw, the meticulous actor contract was confirmed.

Jack Gyllenhaal’s basic remuneration for participating in "Micro Love" is US$1 million, which is paid in two installments (before and after the filming), and an incentive clause is added. After the film box office in North America reaches 100 million, the reward is 50 Ten thousand; after that, for every additional twenty million, 100,000 more will be awarded.However, a cap of 1 million dollars is required.In other words, after the film's box office in North America reaches 200 million, no matter whether there is room for growth, there will only be 1 million dollars as an incentive.

After the two parties negotiated on the salary, it did not end here.

There are still many things to be determined regarding the treatment of actors.

Such as studio issues, accommodation issues, travel issues, issues related to propaganda...

After all, in most cases, the fixed remuneration paid by the production company already includes the remuneration for all promotional activities related to the film.

This part is also closely related to the actors.

Because reasonable publicity is conducive to expanding the popularity, and the popularity is linked to the future pay.

Let's put it this way, for many things, Hollywood has its own set of industry rules.

Those so-called super-a superstars, a-level stars (first-line), second-line and uninfluenced third-line actors, and supporting roles can all be calculated based on performance.

On the second day, Lehman finally negotiated a starring contract with Mason Robert and its guarantee conditions.

This speed is also considered fast. Some Hollywood blockbusters can be set up for more than half a year.

Then, while the iron was hot, he called Jack Gyllenhaal and several industry lawyers. Under their witness, Jack signed his name in the contract with a pen.

This matter is considered a certainty.

The contract shall be in duplicate, and shall be collected separately.

Lehman smiled at Jack Gyllenhaal: "If there is nothing wrong, you can join the group early."
