Ace Hollywood

Chapter 163: super contract

Daniel's paycheck in the second part of The Bourne Bourne quickly became the focus of media discussion after Universal Pictures announced that he was confirmed for the sequel and was confirmed by a CAA agent statement. The legendary young superstar Whether it can achieve this milestone is not only the concern of ordinary audiences and believers of the Hollywood dream, but also a large number of Hollywood a-list and b-list stars. In addition, the seven major studios, Dimen, New Line, Miramax, DreamWorks and other independent studios with their own characteristics are also paying attention to this market. There is no doubt that in "The Lord of the Rings" Daniel will be one of Hollywood's most popular actors before the big losses in the trilogy and the Bourne Bourne sequel, and countless funds and investors will flock to it, and whether this trend has arrived, and how ferociously, This new contract from Universal Pictures to Daniel shall prevail.

Speculation abounds in the reports:

This time, will Daniel directly enter the 20 million club and become a younger 20 million member after Leonardo DiCaprio.

Daniel, who started trying to get a share last year, can he continue to make a fortune in this hit this time, and has Universal Pictures regressed?

However, whether it is Universal Pictures, DD Pictures, or Daniel's personal team, they all understand everyone's attention to this cooperation. Therefore, none of them responded positively to the relevant information. After all, this is a ready-made publicity resource. "Bourne Bourne" is still in a period of high-speed cumulative growth at the box office. At this time, any positive exposure will be welcomed by Universal and Daniel. Because there are always a large number of people who will see these reports, become curious, and then go to the cinema to support the box office.

Of course, there are also people with great powers who turned to the Actors Guild after they were unable to obtain this top secret from Universal Pictures.

According to regulations, the contract must be kept for the record in the Actors Union, so that once there is a rectification between the two parties, as an industry association, the union will make its own statements and actions based on this contract. But unfortunately, Universal has obviously not let this loophole go, because they don't need to send the contract now, they just need to send it to the Actors Guild for archives before shooting, there is no problem, as long as both parties agree, Daniel's team obviously does not would object.

After the argument goes on long enough, there will naturally be enough weight and experienced people to speak out.

Therefore, the conclusions drawn by the media have basically confirmed that this time Daniel will undoubtedly enter the 20 million club - after all, before this, his worth has been as high as 12 million, and "The Spy" has exploded. After that, the quotation for other films has risen to 15 million. This time, the sequel to "The Spy" is basically impossible without 20 million.

The question now is, is it more than 20 million, and how much? The second is, if the basic salary is only 20 million, will there be a share, and what form? The highest omni-channel, or the lowest North American box office.

"Whether Daniel's knife is sharp enough and the negotiating skills of his agent Kusa strong enough will be the main factors that determine all of this. Universal may have little resistance to Daniel's demands. After all, from the current film reviews Look, it's basically all centered on Jason Bourne's rendition, who is unquestionably the absolute center of the film. And on this newspaper's website, the poll 'If Daniel **** doesn't star in the sequel, would you Would you still watch it?', the results clearly showed that nearly 45% of people said they would not watch it, and the remaining 45% said they would wait to see the quality before deciding whether to watch it or not, and only 10% said They said they would definitely watch the sequel. In addition, in the special speech, nearly 95% of people expressed their strong hope that Daniel would continue to play Jason Bourne. These data must have been collected by Universal Pictures, everyone's loyalty to Daniel The degree is much higher than that of The Bourne Bourne, Universal can't make too risky decisions. Let's see if the young 20 million members of the club are determined to push their worth even higher." - " New York Times".

"It seems that everyone has higher expectations for us, Mr. Damon, your negotiating skills are obviously not very good."

"No, you are too soft-hearted, young 20 million members of the club."

Cusa did not show weakness.

Andy stood aside and looked at the ecstatic partners with contempt.

"Oh, Andy, don't look at me like that, the more I earn, the more your year-end bonus, you know?"

But that didn't stop Andy from rolling his eyes.

Presumably, Jose, Mayer and Andy, who are in charge of the negotiation at Universal, will have the same ideas.

These are indeed two disgusting guys.

They just got a contract worth tens of millions of yuan from Universal, and they are still shamelessly saying that they are weak and generous here.

Maybe Morgan Freeman will teach them a lesson - he's going to play God in "Fake Gods."

This contract, which has attracted countless people, but only a few people know about it, is not as everyone imagined. Rather, it is a package contract that includes both "The Bourne Bourne 2 and 3".

Universal will pay a base salary of 40 million US dollars for this, plus a ten-point share of the global box office.

It's pretty cool.

But this contract will be executed until the release of the third "Spy" series in 2006. There are still four full years before Daniel's debut. It has not been four years since his debut. How much will his worth rise by then? 20+20? Still like the "Mission: Impossible" series, Tom Cruise asked to step in and invest to get more profit.

This is an investment from Universal Pictures, but it has basically been unanimously approved by the company's top management. Ron Mayer, who proposed this plan, is also quite proud.

There won't be any problems with The Lord of the Rings, so Daniel will continue to be influential until at least 2004. The Spy is based on the original work by the late producer Robert Rudrum, and from the reviews, the first The second part of the story received even higher praise than the first one, so for "Spy 2", Universal has nothing to worry about.

In addition, Daniel has a lot of projects in his hands, Universal's own "Fake God", MGM's "Rwanda Hotel" - this film has a focus on Denzel Washington, Daniel **** The Oscar team of these two heavyweight actors, coupled with their special cultural background, has received a lot of attention. In addition, "Pirates of the Caribbean", which cost 35 million to cooperate with Disney, is also a big production. Although the prospects are unclear, it is worth looking forward to. After all, Daniel has not disappointed.

Plus a "The Pianist" that made him Emperor Cannes.

Literary films, commercial films, drama films, comedy films, independent films, series films - Daniel, who lacks everything, is there any reason to doubt his growth?

So using a package contract to control Daniel's overweight to the highest level of 20+20 in the third part, and there are even investment requirements, Universal's abacus is certainly not a loss.

From Daniel's point of view, such a contract is very helpful for maintaining a high-level position, and this number is not low in absolute terms. The global box office revenue of "Bourne Bourne" will definitely not be less than 400 million. According to the current progress, the highly anticipated second film is very likely to exceed this figure, then 10% of Universal's income is About 20 million, the basic calculation is slightly different, but Daniel's income of more than 40 million from "The Spy 2" is destined - how many people in Hollywood can compare?

Of course he would not refuse such a contract, otherwise in "The Spy 2", even if Universal were to let go, it would be impossible for the company to agree to the ten points that the company's global box office is divided into, at most five points in the world, or ten points in the North American box office. , This involves an income of 10 to 20 million yuan, and affects his quotations in other film cooperations, and the actor's salary is not static. Leonardo, a new member of the 20 million club, because of the failure of "The Beach", a paragraph It's hard to get into it again in time, and Daniel certainly has such risks, especially when he has investments and performances like "Pirates of the Caribbean" that everyone seems to have an uncertain future.

Therefore, the contract finally reached is a win-win move that satisfies each other.

When Universal will make it public, it will depend on how they operate. But Daniel's request is not later than the end of next year.

This is also very understandable. At present, Daniel's schedule has been assigned almost. If he hopes to use this contract to increase his worth, he must let the bosses of major companies and the media know about it next year-now~www.novelmt.com~ Even if they knew, they would pretend not to know.

Recently, Daniel's team and friends have always been shocked by the data one after another, whether it is intuitively displayed or estimated.

This is unavoidable. Every actor who has entered this ranks has always had this experience.

As far as Daniel knows, Robert Downey Jr., who is about to participate in DD's new film, will have an example of a single film earning more than 60 million in the future - in "Iron Man 3".

Sandra Bullock - one of the few women in the 20 million club, she made more than 70 million in "Gravity", she has a super contract, and most of the stars - including The contract that superstars yearn for, 20 million guaranteed remuneration, 15% of the company's box office revenue share. Plus a certain percentage of omni-channel revenue: from DVDs, TV broadcast rights, website on-demand payment to peripheral products, all of them will be scraped by her.

Daniel, of course, doesn't have the confidence yet, but it must be not far away.

After discussing his income happily, Daniel had to put in the energy, time and talent to match.

Like Jerry Bruckheimer's phone.

Yes, this time they are here to discuss the heroine, because she is so popular, so Jerry decides to make sure as soon as possible, so that he can fully devote himself to it, and also, he also asks that DD must have a resident Producer, David, as the CEO of DD, has a hard time working with the group.

"After counting the money, you have to go to work, which is really uncomfortable."
