Hollywood legendary director

Saturday, June 6.

Such a weekend should be a rare day off, but Scarlett Johansson did not have such plans and atmosphere.

She was pacing with her mobile phone in the living room, actively waiting for news.

Obviously, she was a little impatient.

The reason for the impatience is not complicated. The speed of Hollywood replacement is so fast. She is a post-80s, whose status and resources in the circle are not as good as those of the earlier 70s. She is always on guard against being pulled down by the post-90s—— For example, relying on "Twilight" is a hit Kristen Stewart.

You know, the opportunities for actresses are pitiful compared with male stars, and they tend to have similar competitive advantages—beautiful to a certain extent, it is equivalent to everyone still at the same starting line, then it is quite difficult to open the distance, at this time often competition All of them are off-board tricks or experience advantages, so she would like to have the opportunity to audition for the role of "Iron Man 2".

Many people have analyzed with her, how much a long-term and successful series can add to an actor, don’t you see that every superstar has at least one series of film qualifications, not only the trump card, but also can increase popularity and cohesion Fans, the market appeal naturally comes out like this.

However, similar starring opportunities are relatively scarce projects throughout Hollywood, and there are only a few high-end projects a year, not to mention that some projects look very reliable, and the result is nothing. This is why after the news of "Iron Man 2", So eye-catching, actors from all walks of life are salivating, those who have a way to find a way, and those who don't have a way to submit a resume, are all rushing to squeeze in.

Without him, Iron Man has been proven to have a market and achieved results. In addition, the risk of the sequel is low, but the fan base is huge. In any case, it is the most reliable handful of all the first-line masterpieces this year.

Unfortunately, because there is no shortage of people, the more stringent the conditions they can offer. Even so, Scarlett Johansson still doesn't want to miss it.

She also needs a longer-term role to ensure her go further.

Soon, the agent brought good news. She went straight to the third round of auditions, and she could try it in the afternoon.

In the car.

The broker also introduces some information about the role in various ways.

For example, from the perspective of 10 ministerial appointments, Marvel definitely wants to create the role of black widow. The project status will not be low, so it will be bound in this way. The reason is that all the characters that are valued will have long appointments. Restrictions, how can a general supporting role be so troublesome;

The other is the issue of image authorization. If the role is determined, a series of image public relations and supporting role markets related to the actor himself will require both parties to fulfill their respective responsibilities. Accordingly, Marvel will pay to maintain a certain amount of exposure of the actor every year. It is an additional benefit.

As for brand cooperation and other commercial cooperation, it is all natural and compliant with the situation.

In short, even if the price increase space is held by the capital Marvel, it is still very beneficial to play the role of Black Widow. Just look at how much money other actors make from it and how famous they are. The outside world is speculating, Downey Relying on "Iron Man 2" can have the opportunity to hit the top three actors in 2010 income list.

This is something he didn't do when he was the hottest before.

"This time, we are directly into the third round, with Jessica Alba, Gemma Arterton, Natalie Portman, Jessica Bell, Emily Blunt, our pressure Not small."

The agent chanted, also making Scarlett sigh.

In this world, she is more than an actress who wants to seize the opportunity.

When I got there, I walked into the Firefly Building with some anxiety.

Marvel Studios is on the 4th to 6th floors. It takes the elevator up, and the staff naturally takes them to the waiting room, and then hands them to the assistant director.

"Haha, very punctual."

This product is also Canadian. It was recommended by Dennis Villeneuve. It is a small director's personal team. The two have worked together several times. If the audition is performed, he is also responsible for arranging the sequence, reception, and recording during the audition.

Speaking of which, the latter can also be put into the DVD of "Iron Man 2" as a tidbit. Everyone is so cheating money.

Because they are not familiar with each other and the status in the circle is not equal, there is no topic to talk with each other.

The assistant director was about to go out, Scarlett's agent hurriedly pulled on, and began to inquire about more detailed audition content.

The crew is big and the eyes are full of wrists. The assistant director himself wants to develop in Hollywood. The business relationship is quite natural. He lowers his voice and feels: "Black Widow’s audition mainly depends on the figure, manners and temperament. Acting has little to do with it, as long as it fits the role image better than others and satisfies producer Kevin Fitch."

"You said the director?"

"He is only for reference, the decision is up to the producer."

"Oh, big boss, you mean Mr. Luster, it doesn't matter whether he will come or not. He might not care about this kind of thing."

The agent understood a little, and followed Scarlett's side muttering.

......

It is true that Lyman doesn't care much about the selection of supporting roles. Moreover, it is only the third round, and there is one more round to decide.

The reason why it is so troublesome is actually to match the hype. The media and the audience like this tune, otherwise, where is the topic?

Instead of caring over there, it is better to win over the male lead first.

Yes, the salary negotiation with Robert Downey Jr. has already begun.

Moreover, the other party's agent team is also very confident based on the results of the first part of "Iron Man".

Of course, because of the constraints of the long-term contract, Downey also thinks that the salary of a person is higher than that of other actors + the salary behind the scenes, but it is impossible.

Therefore, there are not many tangled points between the two sides.

Marvel is definitely willing to give high pay, after all, the value is there, and the ones given can make more.

After several rounds of contact, Bing holding the bottom line that cannot easily let go of the project's division, "Iron Man 2", Downey's basic salary is as high as 30 million, but there is no other salary increase model, and he also agreed to the non-independent series, and the salary is willing to drop. .

Compared with the 6.5 million in the first movie, this is almost a 4.6 times increase. If you include the benefits of the rise in movie popularity and personal image authorization, there are definitely a lot of them. There is no reason not to agree.

In the meeting room.

After signing the contract, both parties are in a good mood.

Even if you were arguing about trivial matters before, you can turn your heads to be friendly.

Joseph smiled, followed Lehman back to the office, and suddenly remembered what the report said: "Yes, boss. There is a new trend in the matter you want me to pay attention to, and he really overspends. News Corporation is actively raising funds and reducing costs. Share it with private equity firms. But do we really want to join in?"

"Trust me."

I voted for "Avatar," and Jesus couldn't stop it, Lehman thought.
