Don's bold words, of course, are targeted.

Once Miramax invested in "New York Storm", with a budget cost of 100 million US dollars, and also carved out 10% of the box office dividends.

It is a very big thing for an actor to receive box office dividends, and it is usually only made when the film budget is tight and not enough to pay the actor's salary, or when the investment risk needs to be reduced.

Tom Cruise received a huge salary and box office dividends in "Mission Impossible", the salary is an actor's contract, and the dividend is a producer's contract. Because the copyright of the project "Mission Impossible" is in the hands of Tom Cruise.

Even Robert Downey Jr., who was in full swing because of "Iron Man", failed to get a penny of box office dividends in a series of performances.

Because Marvel Studios is not bad for money, isn't it just salary?

When there is no budget pressure and risk pressure, Marvel Studios directly dropped a sky-high salary of $40 million, and will not follow the dividend model at all.

Don gave "New York Vice" a budget of $120 million to cancel the 10% box office dividend. The film's global box office was nearly $200 million, and 10% was taken off, which was just the extra $20 million budget, just enough to fill for Martin and Leonardo.

Martin Scorsese's salary was raised by 10 million to $15 million;

Leonardo Ricaprio's salary was also raised by 10 million to the normal standard of $20 million;

The remaining $4.5 million for Daniel Lewis and $500,000 for Cameron Diaz do not need to be changed.

The four main creators have a total salary of 40 million US dollars, which is 20 million more than the original version, which is just right!

Cameron Diaz, as a super-first-line female star in Hollywood, is a traffic star, and the salary of 500,000 yuan seems a bit small, after all, the movie she starred in has exceeded 10 million US dollars.

However, she used to play some silly and sweet images, and now she has the great director Martin Scorsese to help her transform, help her challenge the new drama path, and still want money?

A symbolic charge of $500,000 would be good!

In Hollywood, there are countless female stars who want to play Martin Scorsese's movies, and Cameron Diaz dares to say a word, then he will be replaced directly.

Donne's huge check for 120 million did shake Martin Scorsese's heart.

Money can make ghosts grind, and the famous Martin Scorsese is not exempt from vulgarity!

Sufficient financial guarantee is a prerequisite for the success of the film!

"But...... I've promised Harvey. ”

Martin Scorsese frowned deeply, he was very impressed by Donn's favorable conditions, but he really couldn't let go of this old face.

Don smiled and said, "Martin, I heard that you have been preparing this project for decades?"

"yes, I was interested in making this movie 20 years ago. Martin Scorsese sighed and shook his head, "It's just that at that time, a movie of the same genre "Heaven's Gate" was released, and it failed miserably at the box office, so no film company was willing to invest in this project. ”

Leonardo said heartlessly: "Also, at that time, Don was just born!"

Don was a little angry and glared at Leonardo, "You have been preparing this movie for so long, you must want to meet all the external conditions." I've heard...... You originally intended Leon to play the male lead?"

"yes...... Huh?" Martin Scorsese's eyes lit up as if he understood something, "Can you convince him?"

Don smiled: "Martin, as long as you cooperate with Don Pictures, Leon will sign a contract to join the group!"

Martin Scorsese stared at Leonardo, straight in the eye.

Leonardo seemed to have reacted to something, and slapped his thigh excitedly, "That's right, that's the truth! Hehe, if Harvey asks you for an explanation, you can say that the role belongs to me!"

Tang En was a little surprised, he didn't expect him to be on the road like this, and said loudly: "Yes! Tang Pictures' ban on Disney is still there, and it is impossible for Don to cooperate with Miramax to make a film, so ...... Martin, if you want Leon, then Don Pictures is the only option!"

Martin Scorsese's eyes narrowed, and he groaned slightly.

Leonardo said impatiently, "Oh, what's there to think about? Didn't you hear Donn't he want to invest $120 million!"

"This ...... I'll think about it again......"

Martin Scorsese's face was not very natural, and he beckoned again, asking for three glasses of hard wine in a row.

……

"Martin, is there something wrong?"

Harvey Weinstein received a call from Martin Scorsese and was in high spirits.

In recent times, he can be described as high-spirited!

In the past, Miramax hired some second-tier directors, or personally trained some top directors, such as Quentin Tarantino.

Now, he has finally partnered with Hollywood's most mainstream director - Martin Scorsese!

Although the project "New York Vice" has many shortcomings, there is a great controversy within Miramax about investing in this film.

But Harvey Weinstein defied the crowd and insisted on investing!

It is true that he has a wide range of contacts and influence in Hollywood, but his circle is mainly independent film, and his appeal in the mainstream film industry is not strong.

So much so that in the selection of the chairman of Disney's production department, the stronger Harvey Weinstein had to lose to Joe Russ, who was born in Touchstone Pictures.

"New York Vice" is a door, a door that helps him open the mainstream market!

Moreover, just yesterday, through his personal connections, he lifted the old Hong Kong film "Drunken Fist" released by Miramax and stepped on "Chainsaw" written by Donn, which is said to have aroused the appreciation of Disney's highest level.

Martin Scorsese was drunk and drunk, "Harvey, that project...... I'll forget it......"

Harvey Weinstein smiled and said, "Martin, have you been drinking?" Haha, it seems to be in a good mood." ”

"I ...... I'm busy...... Just let you know that the cooperation is over. "Martin Scorsese doesn't speak very clearly and has a big tongue.

Harvey Weinstein's heart moved, and he frowned, "Martin, the cooperation is terminated? What are you talking about?"

Martin Scorsese was a little impatient, "I'm saying, New York Vices doesn't need you to invest in it!"

Harvey Weinstein laughed, "Martin, you've drunk too much, aren't you?

"I'm not kidding!"

"Uh-huh, Martin, you've drunk too much, and we'll talk when you're sober. ”

"No, it's not necessary!" Martin Scorsese said in a resolute tone, "I said, the end of the cooperation is the end of the cooperation, there is no future!"

Harvey Weinstein said in a deep voice: "Martin, do you know what you're talking about? Without my investment, you would never have made the movie "New York Vice!"

"That'...... Not necessarily. Martin Scorsese chuckled.

"This can't be!" Harvey Weinstein categorically vetoed, "The movie "New York Vice" does not meet the mainstream market at all, and it is impossible for any film company to agree to your high budget requirements. ”

Martin Scorsese couldn't stop laughing, "Harvey, you...... You're so naïve, I'm Martin, Martin Scorsese! How can no one invest in my films?"

Harvey Weinstein's heart was on fire, how much did this Martin drink? He took a deep breath, "Okay, Martin, even if someone can invest, they will definitely not be able to open a high budget of $80 million!"

"80 million, is it a lot?" Martin Scorsese snorted.

"Martin!"

Harvey Weinstein was upset, and he seemed to hear a bit of sarcasm in the other man's tone.

Martin Scorsese smiled, "$120 million! Xavi, I can't help it, someone invested $120 million in me, and promised to invite Leonardo Ricaprio to play the male lead, you say, how can I refuse?"

"$120 million, this can't be!"

Harvey Weinstein drank categorically.

He has been making movies for more than 20 years, and he has enough confidence in his vision and ability.

The movie "New York Vice", with an investment of $120 million, will definitely lose money!

"Harvey, you're outdated, Hollywood now, it's the age of young people......" Martin Scorsese's voice became smaller and smaller, as if he was talking to himself.

"Young man?"

Harvey Weinstein snorted.

In Hollywood, the name "young man" seems to have become a proper noun for a certain person!

Is it Don who is the patient?

How is this possible?!

How dare he invest $120 million in the New York Vice? Is he crazy?

Harvey Weinstein was stunned and stunned, as if the sky had collapsed.

Sure enough, I heard Martin Scorsese say: "Harvey, I have already decided, the project of "New York Storm" will cooperate with Donn Pictures, let's ...... If you have the opportunity in the future, let's cooperate again. ”

Harvey Weinstein listened to the busy sound of "tick tick" on the phone, and the whole person leaned back as if he had been driven out of flesh and blood, and lost his strength.

Dawn!

It's really him!

This bastard, it's just pervasive!

Harvey Weinstein gritted his teeth, fiery and angry, as if a bomb had exploded in the bottom of his heart, blowing up his internal organs and liver and intestines......

Donn, damn it!
