The basic salary of 20 million US dollars plus 10% of the box office dividends, how outrageous is this?

Although Johnny Depp and Robert Downey Jr. have both received salaries of 50 million US dollars and caused a sensation in North America, they are both paid at a fixed price, and the box office dividends have been directly bought out in the form of discounts, and in fact, judging from the North American box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean 4" and "Iron Man 3", the former is 240 million, while the latter is 400 million and 900 million, so applying the current salary ratio of Lan Li, then the salary of "Pirates of the Caribbean 4" should be 40 million, "Iron Man 4" 's salary should be 60 million.

Of course, the figures of 40 million and 60 million are only estimates, and in the calculation process of specific benefit distribution, it is also necessary to take into account the proportion of cinema dividends and the payment of taxes, etc., and the actual figures should not reach such a height;

If it's just a box office dividend, it means that the actors and crew advance and retreat together and bear the box office risk together, then there is nothing to blame, but Lan Li also has a basic salary, and it is a club of 20 million, that is to say, this is a transaction that will never lose money.

For Johnny Depp and Robert Downey Jr., their salaries are all fixed price, and the quality of the movie box office has nothing to do with them, even if the box office bursts out of North America like "Avatar", their specific income will not change anything;

In other words, it was an unfair deal, and Lan Li had the absolute upper hand.

Of course, in the current market environment, 300 million in North America is the mainstream, 400 million in North America is a breakthrough, Johnny Depp and Robert Downey Jr.'s 50 million salary is already beyond the psychological expectation level, and the movie box office wants to climb to a higher level, which is an ultra-small probability event, and they are already a lot of money.

But the point is not what height Lan Li's final salary can reach, but that Lan Li's game with the film company already has an absolute advantage.

This is also the reason why Thomas Toole strongly objected at the beginning: if this is the case, then his producer rights are likely to exist in name only-

If he succeeds, that's Lan Li's credit, and if he fails, it's his mistake. How could Tours agree?

Now the situation has changed dramatically, Warner Bros. and Disney have agreed to the form of "20 million basic salary plus ultra-high box office dividend ratio", although the dividend ratio is not 10%, but step by step steady rise, but it has broken the balance of the six major film companies.

From the side, you can see the momentum of Lanli's rapid rise and comprehensive dominance.

According to common sense, in terms of box office dividends, even 0.5 percentage points and 0.25 percentage points must be calculated without giving an inch, and Universal Pictures can bargain slowly at a pace of "7.5 percent, 8 percent" during the negotiation process, which is the normal process.

But the grievances between Universal Pictures and Lan Li are a bad deal, and Meyer knows better than anyone that if they want to impress Lan Li, they must strike hard, otherwise his compromise and bowing his head will have no effect, and may put himself in an even more embarrassing situation.

What's more, Universal Pictures is not a soft persimmon, and the conditions they put forward are also greasy, "10% of the box office dividends after 300 million in North America".

Meyer knew that Andy would not agree to such conditions, and they would need to start a tug-of-war next, at which point Universal Pictures could conditionally reduce the box office dividend ratio little by little - 8 percent is Meyer's real goal.

"20 million plus 10 percent", this is more like a military / order/statement, which puts the attitude and sincerity of Universal Pictures on the table, breaks the deadlock between Universal Pictures and Lanli, and seeks substantial progress by leaps and bounds.

As for Universal's specific calculations, Meyer did not explain to Tours in detail.

If the ins and outs of the situation are explained, Toole may not agree, but it also means that Meyer lowers his posture and puts himself in the position of a requester, seeking Toll's understanding and cooperation, and it will be very, very difficult for Meyer to regain the advantage in the long cooperation between Universal Pictures and Legendary Pictures in the future.

So, Meyer chose to take a tough stance, made his firm stance, and then left it to Tours to make a choice. Universal Pictures and Legendary Pictures, Meyer and Tours, they are in a relationship of equal cooperation, and even faintly, Meyer can still take the initiative a little bit and lay the foundation for the future.

In addition to Tours and Lanli, Meyer and Lanli, Tours and Meyer are not monolithic, and there is no sign of separation between them.

Everyone is trying to take the initiative and control.

"They used 7% of the box office dividends and a base salary of 20 million US dollars to invite Lan Li to star in the 'Star Wars' unnamed Gaiden movie. The condition is that there is only this one film. ”

When Meyer threw out Disney's decision, Toole didn't respond immediately.

Tur tapped his desk lightly with his right hand, thinking intently, as if digesting the hidden meaning behind the news, but in reality, he knew exactly what it meant!

Damn the Blue Rite!

Damn, damn it, damn it!

Tur's heart was furious and raging, the monstrous anger could not be suppressed completely, if he could, he would want to fight Lan Li to the death now, in a fist-to-flesh way, because that tyrannical anger must be vented with blood and impact.

If you don't understand what's going on now, then Toole shouldn't continue to mix in Hollywood. Obviously, this is a net, Lan Li has already arranged everything, and left no way out, just like this, forcing Tours into a corner.

What is Toll's advantage? Wall Street capital? No, but he can use Wall Street capital to make a profit in Hollywood. If the projects he invested in were not profitable, Wall Street Capital would no longer believe him, and partner studios would no longer need to look at his face, let alone the producers who made history, and perhaps even Legendary Pictures would not be able to survive.

What are Lan Li's strengths? Acting skills? No, but his screen charm and market influence, as well as his keen intuitive touch to his works.

In the recent awards season, some people called the blue ceremony "Hollywood's first person" - Harvey Weinstein's handwriting, which further praised the killing, so that the blue ceremony, which was already standing on the cusp of the storm, aroused the disgust and disgust of the audience;

Now, Lan Li is using his advantages to put pressure on Universal Pictures: Is it a legendary film that matters, or a dark universe that matters?

Even Disney and Warner Bros. have successively recognized Lan Li's ability, and even kept lowering their stature and asking Lan Li to join their respective universe plans, but Lan Li still refused, but insisted on himself cautiously, which led to the move of "Star Wars" to pull Lan Li into the Star Wars series at the expense of signing only one work.

And now, Lan Li is willing to join the "Jurassic Park" project, and Universal Pictures is still taking Joe? Maybe, this can be the starting point of the entire dark universe?

In this comparison, Tours is insignificant. In fact, empathy, if Tours had been in Meyer's place, he would have made the same choice.

Furthermore, Lan Li's advantage has crushed Tour's advantage.

Can Tours refuse "Jurassic Park"? Absolutely. However, Wall Street capital will inevitably begin to mutter, why should Tours reject Lan Li, and even the entire dark universe? Tours can block it back with the excuse that "Lan Li's personal salary is too high and the income ratio is not satisfactory", but the actions of Warner Bros. and Disney make his excuse unconvincing.

What's more, Warner Bros. has been stabbing him in the back like a mad dog recently, and there have been many negative rumors circulating about him on Wall Street, which has made his situation a little difficult. At such a moment, he really can't afford more doubts, especially the decision to affect the company's interests because of personal interests, which must be strictly avoided. Otherwise, even if it does not erupt this time, it may trigger a crisis of confidence in the future.

In other words, Lan Li left him no other choice.

This is the real net!

Tur no longer feels anger, and even more terrible than anger is the grievance and shame.

He had never been so humiliated in his career! He had thought he would climb to a higher level after leaving Warner Bros., but now he was sniped hard by an actor who was even more brutal than Kevin Ten Dollars.

Damn, damn it, damn it!

Damn, damn it, damn it!

This blow to self-esteem and pride is the most fatal blow than the loss of profits. I endured and endured, but the emotions in Tour's heart still broke completely.

The right hand on the table did not react, but the left hand on the knee began to tremble slightly due to the strong inhibition, and it took all his strength to control his urge to explode the foul mouth, but the feeling of grievance was still burning his pride and dignity.

It was a fiasco.

What's even more ridiculous is that he thought he had the chance to win and had all the situation, but he didn't know that he had fallen into the trap of the other party early and had already lost before he resisted. Go down in flames!
