Although the script of "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" has not yet been completed, the relevant terms of the contract have been drawn up, during the filming process, the script approved by Matthew must prevail, and the description and lines of Leonidas's character in the script cannot be changed at will without his permission; Matthew has the right to participate in the selection of actors for other roles, and the use of other actors must be based on his opinion, and he also has the right to assign senior makeup artists, hairstylists, standing stand-ins, action doubles, costume managers, etc.

The crew paid Bella Anderson no less than $7,000 per week, equipped her with a work vehicle, and put Bella Anderson's name on the end credits.

Stills used for promotional purposes must be reviewed by Matthew, if a still is used in the design of a poster, Skydance Pictures must consult with Matthew, before the poster is finalized, Matthew must also review it, and the stills may not be used for any other purpose than advertising and publicity, and the stills may not be used by a third party, including magazines and other media, without Matthew's written permission......

These are just the basic terms that meet the status of A-list stars, and for Matthew, the most important thing is actually the salary.

From Zack Schneider to Frank Miller to David Ellison, all believe that Matthew is the most critical and indispensable part of the project, which also provides ample prerequisites for Helen Herman to open the lion's mouth, and frankly, as an investor, David Ellison is more interested in opening up the situation of development in Hollywood, and the success of the project, profit is not the most urgent pursuit.

Helen Herman's negotiations with the crew barely met with much resistance, and Matthew basically let it go and didn't even take the initiative to care until the results were in.

The agent's main income is the commission of his actors, and he will naturally seek more income for the actors.

Matthew's salary in "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" is still based on basic remuneration plus later dividends.

Because of Matthew's centrality in the project, coupled with David Ellison's eagerness to open up the situation and seek success, Helen Herman easily secured a base salary of up to $15 million for Matthew.

In the later stage, it has also reached a new high since Matthew's career.

In accordance with industry practice, Sky Dance Pictures signed a tiered share with Matthew, but unlike in the past, the scope of the share is the global box office.

The sharing agreement stipulates that if "The Three Hundred Spartans" reaches $100 million at the global box office, Matthew automatically receives one percent of the global box office as a reward.

Then the global box office of $200 million is 2 percent, 300 million 3 percent, 400 million 4 percent, and 500 million 5 percent.

Five percent is also the highest cap percentage.

It may seem like a small share of the shares, but Helen Herman negotiated a share of the global box office total, not a share of box office profits.

In other words, if the global box office of "Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" can reach 500 million US dollars, Matthew's personal dividend reward will be as high as 25 million US dollars.

Of course, no one can guarantee that the global box office of "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" will reach this level.

Meeting a super big money owner like David Ellison can be said to be the key to Matthew's ability to get such a contract, but this contract is not the top in the industry, and it can't be compared with Tom Cruise and Tom Hanks.

As far as Matthew recently knows, Tom Hanks, on behalf of him and director Ron Howard, shouted to Sony Columbia Pictures an offer of 40 percent of the global box office for the post-production share during the negotiations with Sony Columbia for The Da Vinci Code.

Although the two sides will definitely bargain later, this offer is enough to make people staggered.

There is also New Zealand director Peter Jackson, the media broke the news that the director-production team with him and his wife as the core of the project "King Kong" has a post-production share of up to 20% of the global box office.

Compared to these top-tier contracts, Matthew has a lot of room to improve.

Once on the other side of the Pacific, he even saw relevant reports on the Internet that when Johnny Depp starred in the fourth or fifth part of "Pirates of the Caribbean", Disney Pictures in order to impress him, it is said that before the filming of the film, he paid him a total of up to 90 million US dollars in pre-production and post-production.

This is what he saw on entertainment gossip, and he doesn't know if it's true or not, after all, he was just watching the fire from the other side at that time.

In early November, Matthew took the time to officially sign the actor contract, and he was also completely tied to the project "Spartan 300 Warriors".

However, after the project entered the planning stage, it did not go very smoothly, and the script has not yet been completed.

Fortunately, Matthew's schedule is not suitable, and the crew still has enough time to adjust.

After signing the actor contract and telling Zack Snyder and Bearded Jack to deliver the script to him as soon as the script was completed, Matthew temporarily put "Three Hundred Spartan Warriors" aside and continued the filming of "Pirates of the Caribbean: The End of the World".

In mid-October, Gore Verbinski announced that he had completed all the shots of "Pirates of the Caribbean: Coffin", and the rest of the filming was all scenes from the third part, and a post-production team of the crew also left the filming to start some post-processing work for the second part.

Probably because the work was very busy, and an agreement was made in private, there were no major conflicts between director Gore Verbinski and producer Jerry Bruckheimer, which also ensured the efficiency of the crew.

In a studio surrounded by green screens, Matthew and Johnny Depp each stood on the side of an erected mast with a safety rope hanging behind them.

"If I accidentally fall down. Johnny Depp glanced down and asked, "Matthew, can you hold me in time?"

Matthew stood on it with ease, and said, "Are you scared, Depp?" He also glanced down, "It's ten feet tall at most, we have safety ropes on us, and the green screen below is all soft cushions, and it's okay to fall." ”

Johnny Depp grabbed the cable tightly with one hand and pressed the hat with the other, saying, "I have a fear of heights!"

"Then you look down. Matthew also grasped the cable with one hand, and pointed to his eyes with the other, "You learn from me, look ahead, it will be better." ”

Hearing this, Johnny Depp raised his head, looked at the green screen opposite, and complained, "Why hasn't Gore started filming yet?

"It's time to start. Matthew saw Gore Verbinski back behind the director's monitor.

Sure enough, an assistant director came up to the camera with a sign and shouted, "Pirates of the Caribbean: The End of the World, Scene 125, Act 26, starts now!"

Matthew and Johnny Depp have long posed for Will Turner to play with Jack Sparrow.

The mast moved at this time, sliding forward, and on top of the mast where Matthew and Johnny Depp stood tall, one was vigorous and heroic, and the other was feminine and twisted.

The same thing is that both of them have a cold face, showing a cool and handsome side.

The camera, which was suspended from the boom, turned around at this time and made a 360-degree surround shot around Matthew and Johnny Depp.

In this scene, Matthew and Johnny Depp don't have a single line, and the two only need to pose the coolest and most handsome, which also echoes the appearance of Captain Jack Sparrow in "The Curse of the Black Pearl", the difference is that Will Turner is added.

Because Matthew used his position on the set and the support of Johnny Depp and Keira Knightley to forcibly interfere with the script, the crew changed the original story, not only Elizabeth Swan would not have an inexplicable affair with Jack Sparrow, but Will Turner was also swallowed by the Norwegian sea monster with him in order to rescue Johnny Depp.

The two will also escape from the end of the world together.

Gore Wibinski's purpose is also very simple, in addition to Will Turner's love affair with Elizabeth Swan, the friendship between Will Turner and Jack Sparrow who loves and kills each other has been added to the emotional scene.

They can fight on the island for the heart of David Jones, and they will fight for each other.

The mast erected in the green screen slid forward a full twenty meters away, and there was a high and low rise in the middle, just like the sliding over the sand dunes described in the script, Matthew and Johnny Depp performed well, and when the mast stopped, director Gore Verbinski directly shouted through.

"I'm going down first. Matthew said to Johnny Depp, "I'll see you later,"

He grabbed the cable and slipped down, and Johnny Depp, with the assistance of two stuntmen, managed to get down.

After coming down, Johnny Depp didn't care about the image, and sat on the green mat with his ass, and it seemed that the sequelae of fear of heights began to attack.

Matthew walked over and held out a hand towards Johnny Depp, "How's it going, do you want to call a doctor?"

Johnny Depp grabbed Matthew's hand, stood up with strength, and said, "I'm not as strong as you, but I'm not that weak either." ”

Matthew smiled and walked to the rest with Johnny Depp, all the scenes belonging to the two of them have been filmed today, and then they can remove their makeup and get off work.

Coming to the break, Matthew asked Bella Anderson to pack his things, just in time to see Eva Green from another set also coming over, probably also leaving work.

"Hi Eva. He walked over.

Eva Green, dressed as a wizard, smiled and nodded to Matthew, "Hi, Matthew." ”

Matthew pointed at Johnny Depp and said casually, "Depp has a drink tonight, are you together?"

He turned his head and squeezed his eyes at Johnny Depp, who immediately said, "At the Black Mamba Bar." ”

"Hmm......" Eva Green thought for a moment and said, "yes." ”
