After Neil finished speaking, Andy didn't answer right away. He still had an indifferent smile on his face, his pupils shrank slightly, and then he looked at Neil seriously and made a look of listening intently. But Neil's words had already been finished, and he just looked back with a smile, and for a while, the office fell into silence, a strange and awkward silence.

Tick, tick, tick.

A few seconds later, it was Andy who broke the embarrassment. His eyebrows were raised high, showing a look of consternation, and he said with a full smile, "Are you serious? Jesus Christ, I thought you were joking. , three works, three and a half million each? This shouldn't be your real thing, it sounds like an April Fool's prank."

Although Andy's tone was relaxed, even with a bit of ridicule, the ridicule mixed in it was really clear. He retracted his chin, shook his head and said, "This can't be true."

Michael looked at Neil and seemed to be waiting for Neil's response. But Neil kept his mouth tightly closed, with a helpless expression on his face, which made Michael have to take over the topic, "Why not? This is comparable to the contracts of Chris Hemsworth and Chris Evans. Much better."

Michael raised his right hand and put it to his mouth, as if he was telling a secret that only he and Andy knew, and he didn't know who was blocking him, "If my news is correct, Evans will take thirty. Wan signed six films in one go, and Disney’s move is tough enough.”

The implication is that Renly should know how to be content. Such agreement conditions are already very rare.

Andy laughed instead of anger, the dull laughter rolled in his throat, and said easily, "What about the dividend?"

Michael showed a surprised expression, looked at Neil, then looked at Andy, his eyes finally fell on Neil, and said in surprise, "I thought you had already communicated, and this salary already includes dividends. "

The surface was calm, but he could feel the turbulent dark tide in the depths of Michael's emotions. This is one of the important reasons why major film companies are reluctant to give box-office dividends easily, because this is a Hollywood rule. After an actor wins the right to dividends for the first time, although they may not get dividends every time, every movie Work managers can ask for dividends, and then start tug-of-war, agreements and compromises with the production company. More important than dividends is the recognition of status.

Renly's "Fast \u0026 Furious 5" dividend is only 0.5 percent, which is $1.5 million at the North American box office of $300 million. For Universal Pictures, it's just a sprinkle of water, and it's not worth mentioning at all. But the current situation is that Renly has won the right to dividends, and the film has achieved success at the box office. In the eyes of the media, Renly is even more responsible. This has become a bargaining chip for Renly to continue to demand dividends.

But for Universal Pictures, they don't want the Renly Lion to open up. All the foreshadowing in the front is for this point. It is conceivable that if they continue to back down, will Renly's box office dividend increase to two percentage points? Three percent? Or five percent? Further, Renly's dividend has increased, so what about Vin Diesel? What about Paul Walker? What about the other veteran actors?

Michael's attitude, to a certain extent, represents the attitude of Universal Pictures: they are condemning Neil's responsibility, and the negotiation has been retreating, but they have given Renly the right to box office dividends! Apparently, they had forgotten, and Neil was able to nod, which Universal agreed.

Regardless of whether it was 3721, the ball had already smashed over, and Neil had to say aloud, laughing, "It seems that I didn't explain clearly, it's my fault. The next three works, Universal Hope to be able to complete the contract in a packaged way.”

"Rest assured, we will protect Renly's status as the protagonist. In the rumors, it is obvious that Renly is the only male protagonist, and we are looking forward to creating a work similar to the 'Bourneman' style, where all the stories revolve around Renly Expand." Neil leaned forward slightly, showing a little initiative, and added, "In addition, in the two sequels, Renly's role will be maintained at the highest level, and during the promotion process status will not change.”

To put it simply, for dividends, no; for remuneration, 3.5 million; but Universal Pictures will ensure the weight and position of the protagonist. However, this is also mixed with moisture. When Neil mentioned the sequel's scene, he did not say "with Vin Diesel and Paul Walker", but used an ambiguous expression.

The roaring laughter in his chest overflowed softly, and Andy's bushy eyebrows were raised high, showing a look of surprise, "I thought Renly deserved better treatment."

Andy did not continue to be polite, and directly threw out the core content. Seeing that Neil had plans to speak, Andy shook his head with a smile, cut off Neil's defense, and continued, "The Emmy Award trophy, Oscar nominations, two consecutive monetizations, and especially the success of this summer season, I think Renly deserves more respect."

Three and a half million dollars, that's literally killing beggars.

For Renly's current salary, Andy also has his own abacus in his heart, and his positioning is 8 million. Taking advantage of the recent Dongfeng, if it can break through to 10 million, it would be wonderful, but he also understands that the difficulty is still relatively large, and Renly still lacks more self-proof. Relatively speaking, 8 million is a more reliable target.

As for the bottom line, 6 million for commercial films is a figure that cannot be compromised, because 5 million to 8 million is the current average price of second-tier actors. For Renly's

This is a perfectly reasonable request given the status quo, and a nod to Renly's meteoric rise over the past year.

But three and a half million? Even Dwayne Johnson expected this number when he joined the third protagonist of "Fast \u0026 Furious 5", not to mention that Universal Pictures is now discussing a packaging agreement for three works, including the lead role. , then the number is not just a joke, it's more of an insult.

As Andy said, the current Renly is not the original Dawn. Perhaps the 8 million or 10 million remuneration has yet to be negotiated, and perhaps the 6 million bottom line can be adjusted after negotiation, but the problem is that Universal Pictures did not show enough respect, which made Andy have to be tough.

"In the process of filming 'Fast and Furious 5', I don't think anyone knows better than Universal Pictures what kind of situation went through and what kind of performance Renly put on." Andy is still the same. The appearance of the Deputy Maitreya Buddha, the speed of speech is always unpleasant, but there is no gap left, making people unable to interject, "After getting so much affirmation this summer, I firmly believe that Universal Pictures will show enough sincerity ."

"We know." Neil nodded in affirmation, but before the next words came out, Michael directly interjected, "Renly is excellent, there is no doubt, but even Boulder, this number has shown enough. Respect, you have to realize that Renly is not your typical action actor, nor your typical commercial actor."

"The Boulder" refers to Dwayne Johnson.

"Hehe." Andy shrugged and said neatly, "Then you can invite Dawn. I believe he will be very willing to sit down and talk to you."

"Andy, you have to realize that in the two sequels, Renly is not the absolute protagonist. Besides him, there are two other people, Fan and Paul." Michael's tone also became tough, "Indeed, Renly He has achieved good results in the past year, but he still has not proved himself, still not enough, we are discussing the packaging agreement of the three works, you can refer to the situation of Chris Evans, I don't think Renly has an advantage over him. So, with this number, you should feel our sincerity."

Before Chris Evans starred in Captain America, Fantastic Four had already proven his box-office prowess, but he still signed a package deal for six films, each for a mere $600,000 and no dividends. Of course, Disney has ensured the absolute protagonist status of Chris. Even in the "Avengers", Chris Evans' position is second only to Robert Downey Jr., more than Chris Hemsworth. important.

In contrast, Renly currently does not have any box office hits. Although the latter words did not continue, Michael's subtext was self-evident.

After speaking, Michael spread his hands and made a helpless expression, as if to say: This is the truth, although cruel, but it is the iron truth, and I can do nothing. Then the corners of his mouth rose, revealing a kind and pleasant smile, "Of course, we all see Renly's efforts. To be honest, we are all looking forward to Renly's great performance in the sequel. As for the rumored movie, We are more confident.”

Michael paused for a moment, frowned, and seemed to hesitate for a long time before making a decision, "We also want to hear your opinion on today's meeting. Do you have any special ideas for the next cooperation plan?"

That reluctant expression seemed to say: Originally, we had no intention of making concessions, and we didn't even have room to make conditions. reference reference.

That condescending and arrogant attitude, pity or charity is not enough, but that kind of overflowing self-confidence, determined that Renly will not refuse, but it is obvious.

Andy's smile became brighter and brighter, those small eyes almost disappeared, and the muffled sound kept rolling in his throat, the more he thought about it, the more laughable he became. Burlesque, "That's actually good, you can go to Chris, any Chris. I'm not sure if Disney signed an exclusive deal, but I'm sure you'll get the answers you've been expecting."
