MTL - After Buying Marvel, I Became the King of Hollywood-Chapter 243
Chapter 356 Cruise's Brokerage Contract
Using the core of Liaozhai to cover the skin of an American movie is perfect.
This kind of movie itself is very gimmicky, and if you play a little bit of edge ball, for example, the heroine shows a little something, you can get a lot of attention.
If you invest 20 to 30 million US dollars, and finally get a global box office of tens of millions of dollars, hundreds of millions of dollars, it is a qualified result.
Every year, in Hollywood, there are only a dozen movies that can break through 100 million at the box office.
Most of the time, it is about twenty or thirty.
This shows that this achievement is actually not something that ordinary directors can achieve.
Kevin's requirements for Tsui Hark's film are not high, so it's fine.
All of this is a preparation for American audiences to get used to the existence of Chinese ghosts, ghosts and gods in advance.
In addition to promoting Chinese culture, it is also an attempt by Kevin to expand more themes for himself.
In the future of Hollywood, I have to say, it means that the more you shoot, the worse it will be.
Completely lost this pioneering spirit.
Time flies to the next day.
In the office, Kevin kept reviewing the plot of the hurricane rescue to see if there was anything that needed to be revised.
A few minor adjustments can be made before the release.
Once it is released, those opportunities are gone.
At the same time, Kevin is also thinking about the tidbits and content to be added to the DVDs that will be released later.
Generally speaking, the movies shown in the cinema belong to the kind that are more refined.
There will not be too many backstory, or some side stories that are too connected.
Theatrical film, the main screen is inked and the protagonist.
And DVD, because the disc can be watched at home and can be paused, the time limit is not so strict.
So more stories can be added.
And because these movies have richer content than the movies released in theaters, they can greatly drive the sales of DVDs.
Gradually, Hollywood film companies also played this set.
After all, these are green dollar bills, who doesn't like them.
Isn't the movie company just for this.
At ten o'clock, Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman came to the morning movie together.
There are also some media follow-up reports outside.
A superstar at the level of Tom Cruise will naturally not lack media attention.
I don't know how many paparazzi follow him every day, trying to dig out some good shows.
This, of course, also includes the scandal between Steve Kevin and Nicole Kidman.
However, Kevin and Nicole Kidman have paid attention to it. The media has never photographed any real evidence. Otherwise, the news that the big director has greened Tom Cruise will probably spread throughout the United States.
This kind of melon-eating drama has always been liked by the general public.
Of course, in the absence of real photos, as Kevin, no one dares to talk nonsense outside.
The legal department of Chenxi Film Company is no joke.
So far, the legal affairs of Chenxi Films, I don't know how many lawsuits have been fought, most of them are copyright lawsuits, but some others have also fought some.
Kevin's goal is to get them to approach Disney's legal department.
You must know that Disney's legal department is notoriously powerful.
The most famous stalk is that a person fell on a desert island.
In order to survive, he drew a Mickey Mouse, and it didn't take long for the Disney Legal Department to fly to pick him up.
Although it's a bit of a joke, the fact that this kind of meme can be spread out shows how powerful they are.
Playing stalks and playing stalks, awesome is really awesome.
The two are old acquaintances of Kevin, and one has even been in contact with each other at a distance, so they are naturally familiar.
Kevin greeted the people below in advance and let them pass at will.
After a while, they came to Kevin's office.
As soon as they entered the door, Kevin and Cruise greeted each other, and Kevin asked Cruise about his intentions.
"Cruise, why do you have time to come to my place with Kidman today?"
We are all acquaintances, so you don't need to do any tricks, just talk about things.
Just don't know what, let Cruise bring Nicole Kidman over to talk.
Kevin asked so directly, and Tom Cruise directly stated his intention.
"Kevin, we want to sign a brokerage contract with Chenxi Films. I wonder if you would like to sign me and Kidman."
Brokerage appointment?
Do you mean to become a contract artist of Chenxi Films?
Kevin understood with his own mind.
At present, a relatively well-known star of Chenxi Films has not signed, and only some minor supporting roles have been signed. This is actually the practice of Hollywood film companies.
After all, big stars want high pay.
With the help of the union, it is not easy for film companies to squeeze these big-name stars.
So there's really not much benefit to signing, and there's trouble.
Of course, that's talking about stars.
If the director wants to sign with any film company, they are very welcome.
The importance of the director to the film company is much stronger than that of the star.
As long as the movie is successful, you can get as many stars as you want.
Therefore, Kevin is actually not interested in this kind of brokerage contract.
As the producer of the content, he has already taken the biggest piece of the movie's cake.
The market ratio of actors and capital is not worth mentioning.
It seemed that Kevin was not very interested in this, and Tom Cruise immediately showed his greatest sincerity.
"Kevin, if I act in the company's film, I only need 70% of the market value. Of course, the publicity is still the normal price."
The brokerage contract itself has 19 points, 28 points, or 37 points, among which the actors get the most.
Of course, this is for some first- and second-tier stars.
Actors at the bottom of the entertainment industry are the same all over the world and have no human rights.
Tom Cruise's economy is about 19, plus a 30% discount, which means that Kevin can use Tom Cruise to star in a movie with a salary between 10 million and 15 million. .
This···
It seems a little attractive.
Tom Cruise of this era is a well-deserved superstar in Hollywood.
In a similar way, it is the popularity of the prosperous top-flow stars for a period of time in the future.
And unlike those shooting stars, Tom Cruise's fire isn't a year or two.
At the same time, no matter what else, Cruise's level of dedication, Kevin still agrees very much.
Thinking it was a good deal, Kevin didn't hesitate.
"Okay, then sign according to the conditions you said."
"Okay! Nini is like me too?"
"Just like you."
As soon as these words came out, Nicole Kidman gave Nicole Kidman a resentful glance.
Such a ruthless man.
Turn around and don't recognize people.
She is now only paid between the first and second tier, about eight or nine million dollars.
No way, Hollywood actresses are not paid very well.
Chapter 357 The Smiths
It's not just Hollywood.
The whole world is like this.
If I have to say anything, I can only say that in this society, men are the main force.
This is a hard truth.
In the movie market, there are very few movies with high box office that feature women as protagonists.
If there is no profit, capital will naturally not do it.
Of course, after the rise of feminism in the future, it is another matter.
Without profit, capital will not do it, but if there is profit, capital will dare to do anything, not to mention let women be the protagonists, as long as they can make money, dogs can be the protagonists.
Kidman even complained in his heart that he was not high enough, and he was discounted, not a human being.
Of course, it's okay to think about it.
Being able to sign at Dawn Films, Nicole Kidman knows exactly what it means.
Being able to continuously get the starring resources of Chenxi Film Company's movies is something that many people in the outside world are envious of.
The low pay is only temporary.
As long as you star in these movies for a long time, the pay will be raised one by one.
They also only reduce their remuneration for the movies that appear in the morning movie. When they appear in the movies outside, they all get the normal remuneration.
After Kevin agreed, the rest was easy to talk about.
Among them, the negotiation of the specific contract details, naturally, there are special people to discuss, what Kevin and Tom Cruise reached here is only the intention of cooperation.
However, if there are no surprises in general, this cooperation must have been achieved.
After the cooperation was reached, several people were in a very good mood.
Cruise also chatted casually.
"Kevin, this summer, there will be three more big productions of Chenxi Movie."
"Yes, but even if there are three, don't you still have to hide from your Mission Impossible."
Kevin joked.
To put it bluntly, it is unnecessary, and it is not that there is no schedule.
Persimmons can pick up soft ones, so why bother looking for hard ones?
Cruise smiled bitterly and said:
"Kevin, stop kidding, your movie, who can put pressure on you."
"The release will definitely be the box office champion, that's for sure."
Cruise's remarks are both touted and factual.
Now in Hollywood, there is really no one who dares to confront Kevin's film head-on.
Kevin used his record to prove that his crown of box office king was not for nothing.
