The negotiated remuneration is only the most basic remuneration, and of course a qualified agent or manager has to fight for more protection for the client, and this is Amanda Seyfried's mother.

Ronan saw that negotiation was a time-consuming and labor-intensive task.

For the whole morning, he and Mrs. Seyfried had only negotiated the remuneration and the terms of its security.

The pace was already fast, and the negotiations with Michelle Williams, which Robert was in charge of, had not even negotiated a basic salary by noon.

It's relatively easy for an ordinary actor, and it's not uncommon for a star actor to negotiate for weeks or even months.

After being frustrated by Ronan with a soft knife, Mrs. Seyfried relented a little later, and did not make excessive demands on the supplementary terms of the salary.

For example, the box office bonuses demanded by many actors in this era were not mentioned.

The box office bonus is different from the post-share in that it is a one-time reward given to the main cast and crew for the number of North American box office figures promised by the production company in the contract.

Mrs. Seyfried should have been well aware that Amanda Seyfried did not mention capital for such conditions.

Of course, she didn't let go of the fight, such as Amanda's insurance benefits in the crew.

The "Entertainment Act" has hard and fast provisions in this regard, Ronan can't ask for trouble, and the expenditure in this area must be done, and the law stipulates that the actor's medical insurance, personal insurance and welfare account for a minimum of 15% of the basic salary.

The crew must have paid according to the minimum standard.

There is also overtime pay, where the actors are filmed for two months, from May 1 to June 30, and the crew is required to pay Amanda Seyfried $2,000 for each additional day.

To put it bluntly, this is the overtime clause.

Hollywood is not popular for all employees to work overtime voluntarily, and overtime work must be paid, otherwise the trouble will cost more money to solve.

In his previous life, Ronan was a middle-level member of a large company, not to mention all year round, but he also had to be on call at any time, and his work was timeless, resulting in no private life for a long time, no surname life, and finally hit the street on work and entertainment.

Negotiations continued in the afternoon.

"Amanda's name is going to appear third among the actors, after the male and female leads. Mrs. Seyfried began to fight for every opportunity for her daughter to show her face: "It should be shown separately in the opening credits. ”

Regarding the opening credits, Ronan has communicated with James Wong, and the film has a pre-prologue, but the time is very short.

He directly vetoed it: "Amanda's name is ranked fourth among the actors, tied with the name of another actress, Michelle Williams." ”

Mrs. Seyfried played a clever trick: "It's okay to be last in the prologue." ”

Ronan said lightly: "That's for the director." ”

The best subtitles for the pre-prologue are the beginning of the prologue and the end of the prologue, and he appropriately gave the sweetness: "Amanda's name will not be less than the name of any other actor, including height, width, thickness, and display duration." ”

Having the experience of negotiating in the morning, Mrs. Seyfried did not dare to underestimate Ronan, thought for a while, and said, "Yes." ”

Mrs. Seyfried continued: "Amanda is provided with a special car during the filming, a nanny car is allowed to go out for filming, there is no bare shot below the shoulders and above the thighs and knees during the shooting, the hotel must be at least three stars or higher when the film is exhibited, and if the film is exhibited at the festival, Amanda needs to arrange no less than one media event and provide full funds." ”

The negotiation of these small matters is still a bargain, and Ronan is not polite, and said directly: "You can solve the transportation problem by yourself, the crew has limited funds and cannot provide a nanny car, but if you go out to shoot, Miss Seyfried can share a car with another actor, and the same is true for the dressing room." There will be no nude shots, the hotel is fine, and there is no need to talk about the film festival. ”

Mrs. Seyfried's face darkened at these words.

This producer is really slamming!

Ronan rarely makes concessions where he spends money, but uses some false names as weights: "In the future film advertisements or trailers launched by Shahai Entertainment, Miss Amanda Seyfried can be signed." In the future, Miss Amanda Seyfried will also have the right of attribution on the film's DVD, videotape and CD packaging, as well as at the bottom of the film's advertising posters. ”

As a member of the main actor group, Amanda Seyfried already enjoys such treatment in the plan formulated by Ronan, but as a black-hearted capitalist, how can she be worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth if she does not take the other party's due treatment as a bargaining chip?

Mrs. Seyfried thought about it and thought it was good, so that Amanda's name would have more opportunities to appear, which would be beneficial to the long-term development.

After a moment's deliberation, she said, "Yes." ”

Subsequently, the negotiation of the twin hair was involved in specific shooting, mainly because Amanda could not shoot large-scale or difficult shots.

The focus of the debate is mainly on those scenes with a large bloody scale.

As for the right to consult and decide on the script, co-actors and directors, makeup, hair and costumes, publicity and tidbits, etc., they are not in the discussion at all.

Even if Mrs. Seyfried had just entered the film industry, she would not be stupid enough to ask for this power.

Not to mention the extra treatment, which is only available to star-level actors.

It took Ronan a full day to negotiate Amanda Seyfried's contract, and the next day, witnessed by the lawyer, the two parties officially signed the contract. (If it is a project signed by a trade union, it needs to be endorsed by the representative of the corresponding trade union and filed with the trade union.) ）

It took nearly a week to follow, and the crew signed a contract with Michelle Williams, Melissa Leo and Robert Kneipp.

These actors are basically not famous, and their appeal is impossible to talk about, and their salaries have been lowered to a certain extent by Ronan, a black-hearted capitalist, with the highest Robert Kneipp being paid $50,000, Melissa Leo being $30,000, and Michelle Williams, who has not been in the industry for a few years, only $20,000.

Coupled with the total salary of $15,000 for the two Arab actors and the cost of hiring extras, Ronan successfully suppressed the cost of actors' remuneration to less than $150,000.

The highest-paid individual of the entire crew is James Wong, who has directed "The X-Files" and worked as a producer in various positions in three TV series, which also meets the salary of $300,000.

and James Wong's good friend Glenn Morgan.

The well-known screenwriter polished Ronan's script, and Ronan adopted Glenn Morgan's suggestion to revise the script again, aggravating the role of the black characters, precisely in order to rescue the black characters, triggering a crisis in the protagonist's family, leading to the invasion of neighbors, and finally the black man fled, attracting the rescue of Arab neighbors.

Black lives are expensive or something, this era has begun to come to the fore.

According to the industry in the circle, Glenn Morgan took almost the lowest $1,000 in editing fees.

After the 2008 writers' strike, that minimum figure would have risen to $15,000.

The management hates strikes or something.

What boss doesn't want to exploit their employees to death?

"When working overtime: you have to make the company your home. When you ask for leave: You think the company is your family, you can come and go if you want. ”

"I will definitely give you a salary increase, as long as you do a good job, the company will never treat you badly. ”

As a new boss, when Ronan recruits new employees with no experience, he will definitely say: learn from colleagues who often work overtime, and learn from employees who do not ask for salary......

Young people, you have to do more to grow your skills.

It's a pity that there are no A-list big stars to make cameos in "Human Eradication Project".

The total salary expenditure of the crew was controlled within $600,000 according to Ronan's plan, and the goal was basically achieved.

There is also the expenditure of the entire Shahai Entertainment, which will also go from the crew's accounts, and Mary has been doing the accounts, which is also a common situation in the independent film industry, and it will continue from the time the financing comes back until the film is released in North America.

During the preparation period, filming period and post-production, there are countless expenditures under various names, even if the film is released, there is also publicity and marketing.

Shahai Entertainment does not have the ability to distribute, but the producers can also advertise the film.

And then there is Ronan, as the initiator and producer of the project, of course, he enjoys the corresponding remuneration.
