404 new salaries
Andy's gaffes are indeed uncommon, but anyone with a discerning eye can find that this is not the first time in the past six months. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The smile on the corner of Lan Li's mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, "Didn't you expect that I would be able to break the shackles of image, get rid of fixed routines, and show more plasticity? This is also one of the original intentions of choosing comedy." ”
“…… Yes!" Andy felt a little depressed in his chest, "but you don't have to shave your head, it's too much sacrifice, and it's really not a good time." ”
Actors like Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson shaved their heads, which was a last resort, mainly for the image of tough guys, and in addition, Hollywood actors who are willing to shave their heads are really rare, because it is absolutely fatal to the actor's look. Not to mention bald heads, countless actors have gone to great lengths to preserve the remaining hair roots, even with Mediterranean hairstyles.
This image breakthrough, the visual impact is really too fierce, even Andy is a little unbearable.
It's unimaginable that Lan Li, who was only twenty-one years old, suddenly became bald. Andy suddenly felt like crying without tears, why did he feel as if he had dug a big hole and buried himself.
"I've shaved my head before, but now it's just a step further, so there's no need to worry. Lan Li was calm, he said that during the "Pacific War", the issue of hairstyle was really not that important to him, "I didn't rely on appearance to get these roles, and I hope that I won't develop such a tradition in the future." ”
For actors, styling is originally part of the role, just like in the "Pacific War", actors can't be clean and refreshing every day, which is ridiculous, for the sake of the role, they lie in the mire for days, smelling all over, but they must also persevere.
The same goes for hairstyles.
Lan Li doesn't think that there is anything special about hairstyles, it is also part of the character, as long as it fits the setting, then it must serve the character. Therefore, Lan Li never considered shaving his head to be a problem.
Andy, however, is thinking differently, worrying about the "Fast & Thrill 5", or more accurately, the commercial value of Blue Rite.
The release of this work is Lan Li's first test of commercial films, and it can test Lan Li's commercial value and market appeal, but at this juncture, Lan Li suddenly shaved his head, which is really unfriendly to female audiences, which is equivalent to disrupting Andy's plan.
Why can't Tom Cruise shave his head? Some experts have predicted that if Tom shaves his head, his market value may fall by half, or even more, because he will lose more than half of his audience, and even the role he can play will be cut a lot. Just look at Tom Hanks, the hairstyle has been the same for twenty years, and there has hardly changed much.
Now, if Lan Li shaves his head, although it will not drop by half of the commercial value - whether Lan Li has commercial value now, this is still a big question mark, but it is certain that it will inevitably affect Lan Li's next development plan, for example, superhero movies will no longer consider him, he can't always wear a wig and a hood to play a superhero, right?
Wait, is Thor's long hair hooded?
Andy's mind wandered slightly, but quickly retracted. He knew that Lan Li's words also made sense.
Originally, due to age, Lan Li's scripts were very limited, and if he was limited to his handsome appearance, then the drama path would only get narrower and narrower. After the filming of "Fighting Cancer" is over, if nothing else, Lan Li will play "Detachment"-
The latter won't mind Lan Li's hairstyle too much, after all, there are no hard requirements for hairstyles in the role setting of the down-and-out teacher, and even if there is, he is not afraid. There are at least two months left before the start of "detachment", and the hair will grow back.
Yes, hair doesn't go away forever, it grows back. Having said that, Andy still felt a little crying and laughing.
Shaking his head slightly, Andy said earnestly, "Lan Li, you are a handsome, funny, and charismatic man, please don't care so much about your appearance, okay?"
"Then you shouldn't worry. Lan Li replied with a smile.
The confidence revealed in the understatement made Andy stunned, and he didn't know how to refute it, so he could only smile dumbly and nodded, "My fault." ”
Lan Li is destined to be a special actor, so he shouldn't use common sense to plan, it's him who is obsessed.
What's more, the reason why he recommended the script "I Fight Cancer" to Lan Li is not only because of Seth, but also because of Seth's connections with the Rotten Boys - most of the members of the Rotten Boys are customers of innovative artist agencies, and Andy doesn't need to worry.
Part of the reason was that he simply flipped through the first five pages of the script and talked to the screenwriter Will for nearly twenty minutes to get to know the character in all its aspects. Andy believes that Lan Li is indeed suitable, and also provides a platform to use his acting skills - but he thinks that the use of acting skills is different from the idea in Lan Li's mind.
Thinking of this, Andy could only sigh lightly, "No matter what I say, you've already made up your mind, right?" Andy rubbed his temples with a faint pain, "I'm fighting cancer" He took the initiative to match, and Lan Li also nodded and agreed, so he could only admit it.
Lan Li didn't say a word, but Andy's helpless voice really had a sense of joy.
"I've already talked about the salary. Andy quickly regained his composure and got back to business. "$800,000, plus five percent box office dividends. ”
Andy threw the bombshell lightly.
The crew of "Fighting Cancer" is very sincere, and the budget of the crew is about 8 million, mainly because of Seth's strong connections, which easily attracted the support of two independent production companies, and three distribution companies have shown interest, so the budget is very sufficient.
This is a work that does not require the use of computer special effects, and all the funds can be invested in the filming of the film. So the movie is equipped with a very good cast, Anna-Kendrick (Anna-Kendrick), who has been in the past two years, Angelica Huston (Anjelica-Huston), who is famous in the independent film industry, and Bryce Dallas, who hid the background of her father Ron Howard and broke into Hollywood alone......
Plus Seth Rogan and Ranley Hall. For an independent film, there are really a lot of highlights.
As a producer, Seth chose not to be paid, but to participate in the production of the film in the form of box office dividends, which gave the actors more room for their salaries.
"I am fighting cancer" found Lan Li at the last moment and was ordered to be in danger, plus Andy hinted that Lan Li's schedule needed to be adjusted, Seth did not hesitate at all about the salary of 800,000 yuan, and also took the initiative to hand over 5% of the box office dividends, looking forward to Andy signing the contract as soon as possible, and then Lan Li appeared on the set in Seattle.
Objectively speaking, with Lan Li's current value, it fluctuates between 80 and 1.5 million, which is a reasonable range. The salary of 800,000 yuan is a normal level, not too high, not too low, but considering that "I am fighting cancer" is an independent small crew, and one-tenth of the salary is given to the leading actor, and it is also when the salary of other supporting actors is not low, this can be regarded as a big deal.
This is the highest salary in Lan Li's career so far.
As for box office dividends, that's an added bonus.
To be honest, Andy himself was a little surprised - Lan Li's entry into the ranks of box office dividends was really too smooth, and four consecutive works were eligible for box office dividends.
In fact, this is only a superficial phenomenon, and each of the four works has a special reason.
"Fast and Exciting/Emotional 5", that is sacrificing salary, between the power game, he found a good opportunity and tore a crack; "Love is crazy" is thanks to Drake Doremus's sacrifice, dividing his interests to Lan Li; "Detachment" is because of Tony Kaye's informality, Lan Li is actually equivalent to half a producer in the crew, and the dividend is an encouragement to him and an incentive to him.
As for "me fighting cancer", the replacement at the last critical moment was on the battlefield, and the other party was still hand-picked for the blue gift, and the box office dividends were more like compensation and awards.
What's more, the dividend ratio of the four works is not high, three of them are independent works, and the final dividend profit is estimated to be nowhere to go, and it may be summed up that it is lower than the average salary of an actor of the same level as Lan Li. Now if Lan Li takes over commercial films, it is estimated that the box office dividends are still enough.
Even so, Andy still finds it incredible, and four consecutive works are eligible for box office dividends. And Lan Li appeared on the big screen, and it has not been a year yet.
"That's a good thing, at least, I don't have to worry about not being able to pay Nathan. Lan Li's quipping words revealed his ease.
Andy can hear it, in fact, Lan Li still doesn't care too much about the salary and maintains a consistent style.
This made him shake his head slightly, and his smile was a little helpless, "I will hand over the contract to the lawyer to review today, and after confirming that there is no problem, I will send it to Nathan, and then I will call Tony and arrange the schedule, and you will prepare for the filming of this work first." ”
First "Girl with a Dragon Tattoo", then "Detachment", and now "Me Against Cancer". In just a few days, Lan Li's work has changed dramatically, in fact, what Andy didn't say is that he originally planned to fight for the job of the male lead in "The Hunger Games". But now it seems that the schedule is not right, and it has been missed before it has even started operating.
"Work?"
After hanging up the phone, Lan Li saw Paul coming out, he had changed into the T-shirt and sweatpants that Lan Li had just given him, and the whole person looked much refreshed.
Lan Li stretched and nodded in affirmation, "It's time to start working again." The relaxed smile on his face showed his mood, "You didn't hide in the bedroom all the time just now, did you?" After a few phone calls, Lan Li made at least half an hour, and Paul didn't look like a personality who took a shower for half an hour.
Paul laughed twice, scratched his head, and didn't speak.
Lan Li couldn't help but smile dumbly, "It's good to treat this place as your home, there's no need to be restrained." Then he stood up and said teasingly, "But this does not include the rest of the time, because I am going to take a bath, and you better not walk around." ”
