Michael Fordry was simply furious. He didn't go into a rage, curse, or lose his temper. He just sat quietly behind the desk, but his face was so gloomy that it dripped with water. He clenched the pen in his right hand. Push hard until the knuckles of your fingers turn white, the powerful low air pressure is like a dark cloud pressing down on the village, and the restlessness and unease of the mountain and the rain are hidden under the skin, naturally there is a frightening atmosphere.

Neil-h-Moretz was not flustered at all, but looked at Michael with great interest, and the panic-stricken Vin Diesel, the kind of suffocation, depression, and humiliation, made Fan look like It was an angry bull, and the blue veins protruding from his neck and forehead seemed to be on the verge of bursting at any time.

Deep down, Neil is actually a little gloating, everything was predictable today, he warned Michael, he warned Fan, he warned the other producers on the set, he even tried to warn Ron May Yay, but sadly no one listened to him.

Rejected "Thor", starred in "Buried Alive", "Fast and Furious 5", and devoted himself to "Crazy Love". These clues can be seen, Renly is not a typical Hollywood actor, not even a typical British actor. What's more, there is Andy Rogers who can't be ignored and the creative artist agency standing behind him

Almost at the same time as the news broke, there were the latest rumors of "killing reincarnation" in the industry.

$10 million, 5% box office dividends, this is Renly's salary contract for joining "Killing Reincarnation". At this level, it can be regarded as a first-line level, and it was basically the same when signing "Fast and Furious 4" with Fan and Paul; but the point is that this is only the first time that Renly has starred in a commercial film, from works of art to The turn of a commercial film, this leap is simply appalling.

A horizontal comparison can be made, Chris Evans playing "Captain America" ​​is 300,000, Gal Gadot playing "Wonder Woman" is 300,000, Chris Hemsworth playing "Thor" It is 150,000; even if these special cases are not mentioned, if Robert Downey Jr. starred in the "Iron Man" series, the first film is 500,000, the second is 10 million, and the third film only includes the box office After the dividends, it rose to 40 million.

Objectively speaking, for the current Renly, starring in the sequel of "Fast and Furious", thanks to the great success of the fifth part, Andy asked for seven or eight million, which is a reasonable category; But starring in "Killing Reincarnation", and it is the first time that he is the leading role, with eight million US dollars and no dividends. This should be the most normal contracting condition.

But now, Warner Bros. has swung the pen and directly gave 10 million plus 5% of the box office dividends. Such a treatment is comparable to Robert Downey Jr. of "Iron Man 2". Even if Warner Bros. has deep pockets, that's pretty incredible.

This rumor has raised a lot of doubts. Usually, it takes a lot of effort to inquire about the internal salary information, but this time it was easily leaked. Many people believe that this is a deliberate rumor released by the creative artist agency, in order to strive for more in the negotiation. many benefits.

But then, Warner Bros. confirmed it, and also revealed more insider cooperation, and the industry was stunned.

So far, "Killing Reincarnation" has not yet had a producer in charge of the overall situation, at least not a producer in charge of budget and strategizing. Tim Lewis is in charge of the film production part. Therefore, in this cooperation, the intermediate link of the producer was skipped, Andy and Jeff started a direct dialogue, and the negotiation became rather neat.

On the one hand, the internal rumors of Universal Pictures became Andy's biggest bargaining chip in the negotiation process. Eight million dollars starred in a spinoff and two sequels, which is undoubtedly an important certification for Renly's box office appeal; Not to mention the box office victories of "Furious/Love 5" and "Crazy Love", "Buried Alive" achieved a profit of nearly 12 times its own investment cost, which cannot be ignored.

On the other hand, Jeff treats Renly differently and is full of praise. Not only as an actor, but also as a screenwriter and a producer, Renly has shown a keen sense of the work. Jeff held a separate meeting with Renly and Tim. After the three parties discussed and discussed, Jeff decided to give Renly the title of "Executive Producer" and let Renly participate in the production of "Killing Reincarnation".

The two-pronged approach has resulted in the current situation.

Not just a 10 million salary, not just a 5% box office dividend, but also an executive producer. Everyone knows that Warner Bros. dared to use Christopher Nolan, dare to promote Gerard Butler (gerard-btler), dare to use Wolfgang Peterson (woeen), dare to believe in T. Shyamalan (ight). -shya), dare to throw money crazy and bear failure, but this time the "Killing Reincarnation" still shocked people.

You know, Renly has only been in Hollywood for two years; you know, "Killing Reincarnation" is only Renly's seventh work, including two that have not been released and one TV series; you know, this is only Renly's first A major task for a monoclonal antibody commercial film. Just being the starring role, the risk is not small, and now you have to add an executive producer?

So bold, so gamble, so strong, Warner Bros. once again showed the absolute style of the Hollywood hegemony after the millennium.

In comparison, Universal Pictures’ dawdling, humming, and going around, not only seems petty, but also has no foresight, and completely compares the six major Hollywood films.

His demeanor was completely lost.

It is rumored that Universal Pictures is actually unwilling to pay even the six million salary; rumors say that Fan and Renly are tit-for-tat; rumors say that the infighting in the crew has reached the point where even a good guy like Paul can't handle it. Never signed a contract; rumors said that Michael was ambitious, but he didn't have enough ability to support him, and he was dishonest; rumors said that the crew had a bad attitude, and the contract renewal work with Renly was deadlocked from the beginning...

Compare Universal Pictures and Warner Bros., and compare Fast and Furious with Killing Samsara.

After these rumors came out, Michael and Fan were immediately roasted on the fire.

First of all, they failed to complete the contract renewal work with Renly, and the previous negotiation became a stepping stone to achieve Renly's executive producer title; secondly, they failed to take the initiative to "dump" Renly, in the preparation of the sequel. Taking the lead, not only became the target of being exploited, but also became a laughing stock; again, it is now clear that it is not the "Fast and the Furious" sequel that rejected Renly, but Renly's refusal to cooperate with the sequel, so, what should they do now manage?

In Michael and Fan's view, these rumors are so easy to find out, not because of the "Killing Reincarnation" negotiation work, but to humiliate them.

With a "snap", the pen in Michael's hand could no longer withstand the pressure, and it was directly broken into two pieces. The ink inside was all over his hand, and the sharp fragments stabbed the palm of his hand, and the blood was dripping. It was really shocking, but Michael, as if nothing had happened, shook his hand gently, took out a few tissues, and wiped away the stains.

"Michael." Fan called out, hesitating for a moment, "What should we do now?"

"Huh. Isn't this the result you expected?" Michael pushed Fan into the abyss, "Didn't you say that if Renly stayed, you would quit? Now that Renly has left, you can stay Isn't that what you want? It's up to you to tell me what to do? What do you think will happen if Paul leaves our series again?"

Fan choked for a moment and stared at Michael's actions at the beginning. Michael supported all of his actions. The two are comrades in the united front, aren't they? Why is Michael putting all the blame on him now? It seems like he planned everything by himself? It's not fair!

Yes, he really didn't like Renly continuing to join. But in fact, he just doesn't like Renly taking classes and seizing power. If Renly can agree to stay with a suitable salary, it will be helpful for the sequel, and it can achieve good box office results again, why would he not agree? Because the ultimate beneficiary is him, he is the only one who has the right to box office dividends among the cast members!

More importantly, what he wanted was for the crew to kick Renly out, not for Renly to choose to leave and make the crew a joke!

He didn't want to see the current situation either. How could Michael!

But Michael ignored Fan's astonishment and shock at all, and looked directly at Neil, "You said, what should we do now?" After a circle, it was Neil who finally cleaned up the mess.

Although he was muttering in his heart, Neil remained calm on the surface. He felt embarrassed and regretful about Renly's departure. They could have avoided such a dilemma; Just like last year's Dwayne Johnson, this year's Renly isn't necessarily a factor.

"First of all, we need to whitewash the peace," Neil said confidently. "No matter what the media asks, we must stick to Renly's statement. Everything is fine, everything is just a peaceful breakup, and there is no conflict between us. , we will wish Renly good results, just as Renly has blessed us."

While speaking, Neil's eyes fell on Fan.

Fan only felt a tightness in his chest, and his mouth was so bitter that he could not speak, but he knew that if he made any inappropriate remarks at this time, the responsibility for the infighting in the crew would fall on his shoulders. Preparing is an unbearable loss of reputation, especially at such a sensitive juncture, they can't afford more negative news.

Knowing is knowing, but the rampant anger almost tore him into pieces. Even after leaving, Renly could easily embarrass him. Damn guy!

"Secondly, we need to respond immediately. Paul, that's our top priority." Neil's eyes were still locked on Fan, and Fan's chest was stagnant, almost vomiting blood.
