Chapter 676 The Game Between Management And Actors (seeking subscription, tickets)

The overt and secret comparisons of several actors are mostly based on the emotional effects of dissatisfaction and envy, plus considerations of interest.

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

This is the idea of ​​Orlando Bloom and other leading actors.

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

In Disney's concept, in addition to ensuring the captain's role and audience image, actors like Orlando are not very good. They are used to set off, and every green leaf wants to increase its value. Isn't it a mess?

As for actress Keira Knightley, several people knew her before she appeared in Pirates of the Caribbean.

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

And fighting for a little bit of money is really annoying—Disney rarely makes money at the box office, and always pays very high pays, as long as the online balance is balanced.

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

After all, everyone who is familiar with Disney knows that this company likes the model of online non-compensation, offline and peripheral fishing, which can also increase brand influence, but it can't take others as fools. They are not stupid enough to let them go. Actors raise prices.

......

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

Disney, the CEO's office, Robert Iger gave lightly.

The situation that was pretty good at first is even more difficult to deal with now because of the initial negligence.

However, this savvy manager caught the key point in the first time-as long as he reached an agreement with Johnny Depp, everything else is trivial. I believe that several other agents will make the best judgment based on the situation.

"Also, the only thing that can be discussed is the basic salary, and the peripheral benefits 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 knocking on the table angrily at home at this moment.

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

And greatly damaged the interests of his studio.

You know, Disney wants to accumulate influence on the new theme pirate culture of its own amusement park, and it is Jerry who takes over and builds success.

Who would have thought that a propaganda tool has become a gold-sucking weapon, but the cake is bigger and more people are greedy.

Moreover, Depp was at an awkward age at that time, and he was not an actor. It was he who helped Depp complete the magnificent career jump, 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, apart from verbal gratitude, it is very positive to use the momentum to fight for high pay.

Jerry’s studio is co-produced with Disney, and the project risk has increased greatly. Jerry Bruckheimer is more worried than Disney that he will lose the box office and will not earn the cost, because he gets the most box office share and DVD revenue... ...

Another point is that director Gore Wibinski also gets basic remuneration plus box office share. The actors get more, and naturally get less cake behind the scenes. 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 peripheral copyrights, and will not deliberately suppress it, because they can talk about the big box office money, not a cent, anyway, other profit channels Just make a profit...

The differences between the two sides are not the same.

What's more uncomfortable is that the price is too harsh.

If the actors' requirements were followed, the budget for continuous shooting would increase directly...

What's more depressing is that director Gore Wibinski doesn't want to take over this series anymore, and keeps repeating it, making him unhappy. Therefore, the future of this series is more variable.

As a producer, the most annoying thing is variables.

Jerry Brookham 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 from the perspective of comprehensive market factors, the captain is really a super plus point anyway, and can only be discussed carefully based on his temper.

——Who makes the family worthy?

Let’s play the emotional card. This eccentric and offbeat actor is actually very smart and well-measured...

......

All the necessary preparations have been made, and Lehman didn't hesitate much. After lunch, he walked towards the agreed place.

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

But Rupert personally invited him, so he could only meet.

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

Seeing a bald old man standing up from his seat, Lyman hurriedly stepped forward to shake hands with him.

Lifting his eyes and looking at it, it was not much different from what he remembered.

It's just that Lehman's impression of this guy at that time came from the eavesdropping scandal-the reporter of the eavesdropping incident died at home.

And now, the 74-year-old Rupert still looks very healthy, smiles kindly, I don't know, he must think he is a very friendly person, but he would not think that this has no bottom line in doing things.

Thinking of this, Lehman was quite uneasy.

For a long time, except for Harvey, many people who deal with him mostly follow the business rules and tear their skins easily, which is very courageous like this killer.

If you want your life, you really want your life.

But having said that, if someone personally invites them, wouldn't it be more offensive not to come.

It can be said that when he meets each other, he always feels sulky under his smile, perhaps because of stereotypes.

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

Of course, after the eavesdropping, Murdoch Group’s weight is extremely heavy, enough to influence the British election, the century-old newspaper, "News of the World" ceased publication, and forced Murdoch Group to abandon the 12 billion acquisition of Sky TV to supplement the group's strength .

Moreover, personal image has been greatly affected, and stock prices have shrunk...

At this time, the eavesdropping door has begun to ferment, but Murdoch Group’s crisis public relations dealt with well. As soon as the matter looked up, he resigned two executives and took the initiative to throw the pot to his subordinates.

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

Rupert Murdoch estimated that he could not calm down soon, he estimated that he thought things were under control...

Lyman sat across from him, Rupert smiled so that he didn't need to be restrained, and said that he was just talking.

Lyman nodded, still paying attention to his posture.

It's okay to lower your posture now. Anyhow, the financial resources and resources that this man possesses are not of the same order of magnitude as Lehman, so he is not ashamed.

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

Rupert put on his glasses and 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 left it, and Lyman was also quite quiet.

For a while, there was a sense of oppression inexplicably.

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

"Exactly."

"It's really young and promising. When I was 30, I was still worrying about how to reorganize two poorly-selling newspapers and optimize assets..."

Although it is not clear why Rupert said these things, Lehman still did not praise himself along the topic. Instead, he paid more attention to his words, for fear of being dug.

His steadiness can't help but make Rupert look up.

The more people who have suddenly succeeded, the more they know that not everyone is not affected by their wealth and status.

This kind of person is easier to deal with, just praise him more.

After this trial, Rupert suddenly said: "The "Spartan" with a budget of more than 60 million made by Firefly should have been launched."

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

"How to arrange the schedule?"

"If it goes well, it is tentatively scheduled around Christmas."

"Oh, why not enter the Christmas schedule for screenings?"

This problem is good. It's not because of the lack of theater resources. The screening can only be advanced or postponed to avoid your ace projects, Lehman secretly thought.

Of course, since Rupert would ask this, he naturally knew that Firefly’s distribution capabilities were insufficient, so leisurely threw a bargaining chip...
