Emmy Awards, Toronto, and Telluride's smooth sailing made Andy a little overwhelmed, and he was full of expectations for Renly's future; The alarm bells sounded, and Andy began to recalibrate his plans. ?

"Degree and Passion 5" is indeed a good opportunity, but if you focus on the salary, the maximum is one million US dollars, and the ceiling is 1.2 million, which doesn't really make much sense, even if you miss this opportunity A work, with the reputation accumulated from the two works of "Pacific War" and "Buried Alive", Andy can win such a level of remuneration for Renly in any commercial film, hovering around 800,000, then , why should he worry? And why does it have to be "Degree and Passion/Love 5"?

What's more, Renly was paid only $20,000 for the filming of "Crazy in Love", which is the same salary that Renly received for the "War in the Pacific" episode. This shows that the salary is not the most important thing for Renly.

Thinking about it carefully, what was the biggest positive impact of "Degree and Passion 5" for Renly?

Add a blockbuster experience? Being the third protagonist is too cheap; is it a success at the box office of a blockbuster? After the movie comes out, if it's a box office success, people will say it's Vin Diesel and Paul Walker, and if it's a box office failure, people say it's Renly Hall's casting failure, that's the reality; practice acting ? This is obviously a joke.

Test the waters of an action movie to open up Renly's commercial potential? This is one reason, but not enough.

In Andy's view, the most important role of "Degree and Passion 5" is exposure and awareness.

Next, Renly will enter the competition for awards season. "Buried Alive" is an independent work with no roots and no foundation. It can almost be said that grandma does not love, grandpa does not love, and there is no George Clooney, cloth A top-notch, big-name producer like Rad-Pitt doesn't even have Sundance's Plus. He just relies on Toronto's breath and wants to fight his way through the fiercely competitive awards season. It's a crazy dream.

However, through the filming of "Degree and Passion 5", we created hot topics and attracted more attention, so that the name "Renly-Hall" became familiar, and then cooperated with Focus Pictures' promotional strategy, this was possible. Win the thin line of survival.

At the end of the day, awards season is a PR battle. If you haven't even heard of this work and this actor, how can you vote? In the era of information explosion, the quietness and elegance of waiting for the aroma of wine to attract guests are gone forever.

So, if "Degree and Passion 5" can't bring this kind of attention to Renly, Andy thinks, it's better to reject this work and choose it again, there is no need to make a hasty decision. As an agent, Andy had to make a more detailed and long-term plan for Renly's career, and he didn't want to encourage it.

Telluride's small accident, the impact wavelength is still very obvious.

"0.5 percent dividend." Andy said calmly, obviously thinking about it for a long time, "In addition, Renly must be the third leading role in the crew and participate in all the promotions of the show, I mean, Screenings all over the place, and all the talk shows and radio shows; plus, there are photoshoot locations for every occasion, magazines, screenings, and press conferences."

Hollywood's system is very mature, complete and intricate, and it is only discussed in terms of actors

When the crew is shooting, is there a separate RV, how many people are in the work team, including make-up artists, costumers, assistants, etc., whether there are chairs marked with their names in the shooting location, and whether the transportation costs for shooting are reimbursed...

During the promotion period, is it on every promotion itinerary, what is the position if I attend, the position on the official press release photo and even the shooting angle, where is the location of the press conference, whether it has the right to refuse to attend the show, magazine What will be the length and weight of the interview, whether the accompanying team is officially equipped or brought by oneself, and whether the promotional clothing is sponsored...

After the film is released, do the actors have the right to watch in advance, whether they have the decision to veto their own performance segments, and whether they have the right to revise the script...

What is the weight of the subtitles at the beginning and end of the movie, whether the list of actors is listed separately, which one appears in the end, what is the size and position of the font, and even whether the matching background picture is different from other actors...

All of these are different, and every detail can distinguish the actors into different levels. The bigger the actor, the more requirements, and the more specific and detailed. Even the top big names can request that they refuse to share the stage with a certain artist, even if it is just an accidental encounter during the promotion period, all of which can be clearly stipulated in the contract agreement.

"Of course, there is also the position of the movie subtitles." Andy added that "Degree and Passion 5" is a huge crew with nearly ten core characters. Except for the two absolute cores, other actors The competition for the position is bound to be fierce, and Andy must fight for a more favorable position for Renly.

Although it was said that all of this was the expected answer from Neil, and it was understandable to ask for the corresponding treatment of the third leading actor, but Neil still had to admire Andy's ambition and execution, like an endless net. Waiting quietly for his arrest. Originally, they thought they had everything in their hands, but there was a oriole waiting behind.

Abandon Renly? Or compromise?

Neil's mind again

Two options appeared, but this time he didn't hesitate, "It's better like this, one million salary, and then the treatment of the third leading actor."

0.5% of the box office dividend, calculated according to the North American box office score of 200 million, is actually one million US dollars. At such a price, Neil has no reason to refuse, but the difference is: one is paid for a salary and the other is paid for dividends, which is different for Renly's recognition.

If it is a dividend, it also means that Renly needs to bear the risk of the box office. Although the risk of 0.5% is almost negligible, the attitude of the crew is bound to be different, and Renly will be given more in the production and promotion stages. respect. Especially considering the huge crew of "Degree and Passion/Passion 5", Renly with little qualifications, without this amulet, it would be difficult to gain more attention.

Neil knew this, and Andy knew it too.

"I think the treatment of the third leading actor is a matter of course." Andy was not in a hurry, he said slowly, speaking even slower than Neil, "but the salary of one million is not the level of the third leading actor. ."

Hobbs' weight in the script is the iron-clad third protagonist, but the low pay can't match it, just like Chris Evans(s) for "Captain America" ​​is only $600,000. Same.

However, Chris signed a contract with Paramount at the beginning. One signing was six movies, and the salary was not high, but it guaranteed that Chris would be tied to the role of Captain America next, paving the way for the actor's career. Of course, his first protagonist Treatment is also absolutely guaranteed.

What Andy is fighting for now is to match the treatment of the third leading actor. In terms of remuneration, Universal Pictures naturally cannot offer Renly 2.5 million in remuneration. One million is already the cap, so Andy proposed. With the exchange plan, he completely gave up the demand for guaranteed film remuneration, lowered his attitude, and then replaced the remuneration with dividends. Three protagonists.

Compared to Dwayne Johnson, using Renly is economical and affordable.

There was a helpless smile on the corner of Neil's mouth. I have to say that Andy took the most correct time and put forward reasonable requirements at the right time. It can almost be said to be walking on the edge of challenging the bottom line, but it will not make people angry. . And, of course, Steven Spielberg.

"You're really ambitious, aren't you?" The chaotic thoughts just swirled in his head for a moment, and Neil quickly calmed down and made a decision.

Andy shrugged and said half-jokingly, "This is Hollywood, and people always say, set your dreams higher."

"How's his schedule? In five days, we'll be restarting in Los Angeles." Neil finally got back to the point, they all knew that Renly was filming "Crazy Love" right now, and if the schedule didn't fit, just now The conversation is meaningless.

Andy glanced at the calendar and thought it over in his head, "No problem." If nothing else, Renly should be back in Los Angeles today to complete the rest of the filming of "Crazy Love", five days is enough.

"I'll let the lawyer draw up the contract, and then fax it to you." Without continuing to be polite, Neil simply said that since he has made a choice, he will go on unswervingly.

The two briefly exchanged a few words, and then hung up the phone.

But Andy still didn't take it lightly. After the lawyers drew up the contract, they needed to carefully examine one party, add some details, and then return it. It took about two to three days for the two parties to go back and forth. Andy will not forget that Neil contacted Jason Statham about the matter. If Dwayne puts down his posture within these three days, then things will fall short. Before signing the contract in black and white, he still cannot take it lightly.

After thinking about it, Andy made a few calls and explained a few words. His approach is simple, just let Dwayne know that Jason has signed with the "Expendables" crew, and that's enough.

Dawn persisted for so long, and the finish line was just around the corner. If he believed that Neil was also making a fool of himself in an emergency, and choosing Jason was just a desperate fight in a desperate situation, then Dawn would continue to grit his teeth and persevere; But what if he doesn't believe it...

Andy needs to convince Dawn that Renly is still filming in London and has no plans to return to Los Angeles anytime soon. 8
