Hollywood starts with animation

Toby Maguire’s cost of starring in "Spider-Man 1" was US$1.5 million. However, due to the big movie release, Wald Pictures, as the production company, added another US$4 million in subsequent costs. Reward model.

5.5 million dollars!

This is the total compensation for Toby Maguire’s appearance in Spider-Man 1.

Now that the filming of the movie "Spider-Man 2" is about to start, the protagonist's request for an increase in salary is based on the consideration of Zhuke and others.

In a word, it makes sense!

After all, as a Hollywood sequel movie, it has always been faced with a situation where the cost of actors has risen sharply. Of course, the director will also increase the salary.

But... the lion's open mouth behavior made it difficult for Kevin Fitch and others to accept it.

$12 million in remuneration + 5% North American box office share!

Keep in mind that it is 5% of the North American box office share, not the North American box office net profit share.

After deducting theater fees, distributor fees, and movie taxes... the rest is the North American box office net profit.

Between the two, the difference in amount of money disappeared.

Kevin Fitch said in a deep voice: "Gavin, you tell Toby Maguire and his agent Juan Wiggins that we can agree to the $12 million actor pay, but 5% of the North American box office , We will never agree."

"Do not!"

"To be precise, even the North American box office net profit share, they don't think about it, give up!"

It is understandable that the production company must ensure its own profitability.

"Okay, I see, I'll go talk." Gavin O'Connor replied and left quickly.

As for Toby Maguire and his agent Juan Wiggins, will they agree? Three words-hard to say!

Of course, there is a very high probability that the two sides are in a drag period, and there is no time for one or two months, and there is no need to negotiate.

"Boss, look at this..."

Kevin Fitch looked at Zhuke and stopped talking.

Zhuke shrugged and smiled: "Don't look at me, you are the president of Wald Pictures."

Upon hearing this, Kevin Fitch took a deep breath and said heavily, "I understand."

Everything counts on Zhuke to make the final decision, so what does Kevin Fitch do?

He is the president of Wald Pictures, not just a tool man.

Otherwise, why should the company give it a high annual salary?

Zhu Ke thought for a while and couldn't help but reminded: "The sequel movie series we will develop in the future will not be small. Then you must pay more attention to the payment of sequel movies. Well, when necessary, you can solve it through book means. "

"Book means? Boss, you mean..."

However, before Kevin Fitch had finished speaking, Zhuke interrupted him.

"What? I don't know anything." Zhuke played with taste.

What is meant by book means is nothing more than thinking of making losses.

In the "Harry Potter" movie series, every movie has a big box office, and it is madly racing around the world. However, on the book, it is also a loss.

And it is a huge loss!

As long as Hollywood production companies have the intention, regardless of whether you are an insider or someone outside the industry, it is totally cheating that you have not discussed it!

To be honest, there are not a few films developed by Wald Pictures.

"Fatal Turn", "Human Removal Project", "Spartan 300 Warriors", "Reaper is Coming"...

These are currently well-known series of Hollywood horror and thriller themes.

but!

Take a look at "Spider-Man" and "Harry Potter"!

They are the real series of movies. The most important thing is that the actors cannot be changed, and you must add money to them for subsequent movies.

Including Wald Pictures' upcoming movie "Fast and Furious" and the just-appointed "Chain Saw" are also a series of movies.

"Tsk tut~"

Zhu Ke couldn't help but sighed: "Kevin, in the future, the sequel movie will be opened. I think you will see this kind of situation where the lion speaks loudly."

Kevin Fitch nodded: "That's why I have a headache!"

Thanks to the filming of "Spider-Man 1", Wald Pictures signed a trilogy contract with Toby McGuire instead of a single "Spider-Man 1" movie. The maximum remuneration was clearly stated. , Otherwise... his asking price will be higher now!

In the original time and space, Colombia suffered this big loss.

The movie "Spider-Man 1", Tobey Maguire made a profit of $8 million;

In the movie "Spider-Man 2", Toby Maguire's remuneration alone soared to $17 million, including a certain box office share;

The movie "Spider-Man 3" is even more exaggerated!

In "Spider-Man 3", Tobey Maguire, the actor's salary + box office share alone, exceeded 45 million US dollars in one fell swoop, and even the subsequent copyright income was also involved in the sharing, which was at least another 20 million US dollars in expenditure.

Terrible~

"Thanks to Columbia, I still have a bit of brains. I didn't start filming "Spider-Man 4". Otherwise, the actors would earn the money." Zhu Ke couldn't help but secretly said in his heart.

High pay

Ask for box office share;

Ask for subsequent copyright revenue share;

This is a problem that the production company has to face when developing the sequel series of films.

The Iron Man of the movie "Avengers 4", why does Marvel have to write it dead?

Have no idea!

Marvel can't afford Donny's pay!

If you are not written to death, then who is written to death?

"Okay, Kevin, I'll leave first. The actor contract of Spider-Man. I only pay attention to the final result." Zhu Ke waved his hand and wanted to leave.

Toby Maguire raised his chin and believed: "I am a good neighbor, Peter Parker, Spider-Man! As long as they want to make money from "Spider-Man", then they must give me the reward they deserve, otherwise I'm good The neighbor will not agree!"

He was fighting against Wald Pictures.

The second update of "" was sent, and the minister continued to open the code.
