There is no need to wait for tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Before the sunset had time to sink, Jack abnormally received an unsolicited call from Michael; even more strangely, Michael sent a lot of praise, saying that it was an honor for the crew to work with Dawn. , and guarantee that they are in the final discussion on the $3.5 million remuneration. If there is no accident, there should be no problem. Now, just waiting for Dawn to nod and agree.

3.5 million, this is the goal that Jack and Dawn have been planning for a long time. Now that he is close at hand, he only needs to nod and agree, Dawn can directly complete the contract with the crew and officially become "Fast and Furious" A member of the cast of the sequel, there is no need to worry about Andy Rogers, and there is no need to worry about Renly Hall, 3.5 million, this is the fixed salary, Dawn's acting career will open a new chapter .

However, Jack hesitated.

First Andy, then Michael, is it all too coincidental?

Even if he tried to convince himself that Andy's call might just be a trap, to avoid repeating the same mistakes, he should have nodded in agreement. However, things always revealed an indescribable strangeness. So, should he trust Andy? Should he believe in the opponent who once pitted him hard?

"I'll tell Dawn and let him think about it."

That's Jack's answer. After hanging up, Jack couldn't help sighing, thinking he must be crazy. Just now, the dream goal was in the palm of his hand, and he actually pushed it out by himself. Is this stupid or crazy? Thinking back on his answer again, Jack still couldn't believe that he really shut Michael out.

If he misses it again this time, he feels that it may be necessary for him to change careers.

After hanging up the phone, Jack also began to use his contacts to inquire about the news. There must have been a huge change in Universal Pictures recently. Even aside from Andy, Michael's behavior is really too abnormal. What's even more abnormal is that the news of Universal Pictures was strict before, but this time it didn't take much effort:

It is rumored that Renly Hall is about to sign a contract for a total of three works with a salary of $8 million to star in the "Fast and the Furious" spinoff and sequel.

This news is really shocking, even the smoke bombs are beyond the scope of imagination. Jack can't help but take a breath: 8 million, this is the salary of a second-tier actor to play the leading role, and he can completely cooperate with Paul- Walker and Vin Diesel are on an equal footing!

But the problem is, the role of Hobbes is not a male lead! Could it be that Renly will also play the leading role in the sequel? Taking a step back, even if Renly is actually the male lead, it's still too incredible, even if Renly has been in the limelight recently.

If Renly gets such a salary, then the three protagonists will have to pay nearly 30 million or more, and there are other actors' salaries that need to be considered. Don't they want to increase their salaries? So, what's the budget for the "Fast and the Furious" sequel? There are also drama arrangements, do you really want to divide the sequel into three equal parts?

This is simply whimsical!

Eight million, what level is this? Simply put, it's the equivalent of Marlon Brando's "Superman" in 1978, earning $4 million for a ten-minute performance; or... a superstar like Harrison Ford.

In 2015, Harrison Ford once again played the role of Han Solo in "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" after 32 years. There is also a box office bonus of 0.5%; there is no problem with this salary itself, the problem is that Harrison is not a male lead, just one of many supporting roles. In contrast, the two protagonists are newcomers, and the salary is $300,000.

Could it be that now Renly Hall has reached the level of Harrison Ford? This is impossible! Or because Renly and Harrison share the same agent? But the agents of the creative artist agency share the system, and the connection between actors and actors is not so close!

Jack regrets a little now, but he doesn't know what he regrets. In the end, he regrets that Dawn has become Renly's step again. He only rejected Michael here, and Andy negotiated eight million there. Obviously, he Is it an important part of fueling the flames? Or regret that the original goal was set too low, and it only cost 3.5 million. Should the lion open his mouth to directly ask for 5 million, or at least 4.5 million?

However, this time the news did not boil for too long, and then a more explosive rumor broke out: Vin Diesel disagreed!

Things took a turn for the worse. Although it is said that Fan expressed his opposition as a producer and had a fierce impulse with Neil-h-Moretz; but people in the industry know that Neil is in charge of the budget, and Fan is in charge of the production, Neil nodded and agreed to the remuneration, Fan had absolutely no need to object.

However, all aspects of making a film are interrelated. For example, if Renly took the $8 million salary, then the crew and Universal Pictures are bound to want value for money, and Andy will definitely ask for a corresponding increase in the number of scenes, which means that the role of the script The arrangement of the scenes needs to be adjusted, which is the scope of Fan's responsibility.

Involuntarily, Jack was reminded of the previous rumors that Fan needed to increase his role. Vaguely, Jack smelled an unusual breath. Although he is not the top broker in the industry, he still possesses certain strength, otherwise he would not be able to launch Dawn. Now, Jack feels

Arrived, hidden puzzle pieces are putting together the whole picture piece by piece.

At this moment, there is also tension in the office of Universal Pictures Michael Forte, Vin Diesel, Michael Forte, and Neil H-Moritz are chasing their horns. The tight muscles and There seemed to be sparks moving between the sharp eyes, and even the air was almost ignited.

"You have to be reasonable!" Neil resisted his anger, gritted his teeth, and squeezed out his voice word by word, "I tell you, this is a cost-effective cooperation! Trust me! "

"Fuck!" Fan yelled directly, without any intention of saving face.

Neil took a deep breath, ignored Fan, and turned to look at Michael, "Is your sanity still there? You should know that if we give up Renly and choose someone else, whether it's Dwayne Johnson, or Jason Statham. Yes, their pay may be lower, but after replacing the role, we have to add more fresh blood, which also means that the pay of Dwayne and Jason are combined, which is Even more expensive than Renly!"

Michael's face was gloomy and he didn't speak, but Fan was trying to express his opinion, "But!"

"No but!" Neil couldn't hold back any longer, slapped the table hard, and said in a terrifying voice, "Renly has proven himself, not just by his box office results, but by his outstanding performance in the fifth film. The performance has been recognized by the audience! Continue to use him, we can exchange the highest return with the smallest cost! This is a good deal!"

Michael remained silent, Fan wanted to argue a few words, but found that the facts were untenable, so he beat the table with his fist depressed, venting his anger, but after all, he did not speak again.

Neil's mood calmed down a little, and they didn't continue to fight, which shows that there are signs of loosening, which is a good thing. "What's more, we won't really sign for 8 million, my goal is 6 million, and the bottom line is 7 million. I believe that Andy Rodgers is a smart man, he will compromise."

Facts and rumors still differ. It is rumored that 8 million is the news that Neil took the initiative to release, showing the sincerity of Universal Pictures, but it is only spread in the industry, and the media has not heard the wind for the time being. This will become a bargaining chip for Neil and Andy to further negotiate.

However, this sentence seems to have stepped on Fan's sensitive nerve, and a thunderous voice roared, "Dividends! Why don't you say dividends? Three percent dividends? Have you lost your mind? You know what this means. what?"

This means that, based on the box office of 300 million in North America, the 3% dividend is 9 million US dollars, and Renly will deserve to be among the top tier. Become famous overnight? This is so pediatric, this is skyrocketing!

This also means that the producer's dividend will be cut, in other words, the interests of Fan, Neal and Michael will be cut; more importantly, it will also mean that Fan's rights will be cut, Not only the role weight and the distribution of scenes in the script, but also the attention of Universal Pictures, etc., from production to premiere to promotion, every link must be rearranged.

This is to divide Fan's essential interests, and he will never let go, especially if the target is that terrible guy!

"Impossible! It's absolutely impossible!" Fan's momentum rose, and Neil was trying to explain that the next negotiation between him and Andy was bound to further discuss the dividend, but Fan didn't give Neil a chance. "Six million, yes, no problem! I promise! But, box office dividends, absolutely not! 0.5%, that is your personal commitment, and I will never agree!"

In the fifth film a year ago, Fan's producer rights were relatively limited, and he was more constrained by Neil; the great success of the fifth film a year later, in addition to Renly, Fan and Paul naturally benefited too. Little, especially this time Fan has Michael's support, he can already sit on an equal footing in front of Neil, and naturally he won't give in easily.

"Vin Diesel!" Neil's anger also rushed up, and he slammed into the case, "Don't be so childish like a kindergarten child!"

"Childish?" Fan also stood up abruptly, the chair behind him flipped straight down, and his fist slammed directly on the conference table, the whole table was trembling, "You haven't seen what it means to be really childish. Tell you, I don't even agree with the six million salary, three million, this is the ultimate, I said, three million! Can't? It's very simple, Renly joins, I quit! Grass/you/mom /'s Renly-Hall, grass/you/mom/'s interests are balanced, grass/you/mom/'s box office dividends, your brain is flooded, don't pull me together to be stupid! Damn/cheap/goods!"
