Chapter 327: Looking for an Actor (Part II)

With a salary of $20 million and a 10% share of the global box office, this kind of treatment is something that only people of Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt dare to shout about, and they may not be able to get it. X: This is the fundamental reason why they haven't starred in movies made by big companies and big productions for all these years.

This kind of commercial film produced by a large company and a big production is often hundreds of millions of dollars at the global box office, and no one wants to share it with an actor. Therefore, A-list actors like Leonardo have starred in small productions over the years. Because big companies don't want to use them.

As for Orlando Bloom, he didn't reach that level anyway. The reason why this kind of request is made is just a sky-high asking price and paying back the money on the ground.

For this kind of method, Zhang Fan has seen a lot in Hollywood. He doesn't like to talk to these people, because now he is in the active position, not him begging others to act.

"Now that you've finished your terms, now listen to me. Zhang Fan smiled and said, "This is not a movie, but a series." A one-time contract requires a five-film contract. The starting salary is 10,000 million dollars, and then the salary of each film increases by 25 percent, and the maximum salary is 20 million dollars. If you agree, then sign up for training work for the shooting money. If you don't agree, please let me know directly. ”

If you don't agree, you have to tell Zhang Fan, tell Zhang Fan what to do, of course, find someone else to star!

Zhang Fan's condition and his reputation in Hollywood, as long as it is released, some actors are willing to act, or even break the head. In the face of such a strong Zhang Fan, Orlando Bloom and his agent have no choice at all.

What else can I do? We can't refuse Zhang Fan's big-budget movies to star in those so-called literary films, right? Orlando Bloom is not trying to become a literary student in Hollywood, but to become a top superstar to make money!

After some deliberation, Orlando Bloom and his agent agreed to Zhang's request. Opt in to accept offers for five Pirates of the Caribbean films. As for the salary, it is also according to what Zhang Fan provides.

In fact, the salary provided by Zhang Fan is not low at all, and the income of five films is about tens of millions of dollars. And that's not even counting the extra income that comes with the increase in fame after the movie becomes famous.

Advertisers in the United States also like to find celebrity endorsements, and the measure of the endorsement price is their fame. starred in excellent works, and after the fame soared, the advertising cost naturally increased. In many cases, these incomes are even higher than the income from acting in movies.

No matter where you are in the world, shooting commercials will always be the favorite show of celebrities. It's easy and convenient, and it's quick to get money, and it also increases exposure. This is also an important reason why many unspoken rules happen to advertisers.

After finding Orlando Bloom, Zhang Fan's next target is Keira Knightley.

The heroine in the play is an English herself, so finding a British actor to play it is the best choice. In Hollywood, there are a lot of actors from the UK, and Keira Knightley is just one of them.

When Zhang Fan approached Keira Knightley and said that he wanted to invite her to play the heroine of his new film, the actress from the United Kingdom was even shocked and couldn't believe it.

"Yes. Zhang Fan looked at the British rose in front of him with a smile on his face, "My new film needs an excellent heroine, and I hope you can play it." ”

It is said that there are many British roses in Hollywood, and as long as there are British actresses who perform well in a certain work, the media will label them as British roses. Later, Hollywood was full of English roses.

Hollywood, as the world's most famous film production base, in addition to a large number of shining top stars, is more of those who are like the base of the pyramid of those large but unknown ordinary actors. Their standard of living is naturally much higher than that of ordinary people, but compared to those superstars who stand at the top of the pyramid, whether it is life, work or other aspects, it is not worth mentioning. And that's the biggest motivation for actors to work so hard to get to the top of the pyramid.

Keira Knightley used to be just an ordinary actress, although she was very beautiful, but there is no shortage of beautiful actresses in Hollywood. After making a name for herself in several smaller productions, Keira Knightley and her agent were hoping to work on some of the biggest productions and get up the ladder to the top of the pyramid.

It's a pity that the ideal is plump, but the reality is skinny. Actors like Keira Knightley are not a big deal in Hollywood, but there are still a lot of them. However, there are only a few great big-budget works that can help actors reach the top. And in order to compete for these roles, all kinds of tears between the actors have reached a tragic point.

Keira Knightley never imagined that one day a huge pie would fall from the sky and smash it on her head. That's Zhang Fan's work, every one of his works is a big production, and every one of them has achieved brilliant success!

Being able to star in Zhang Fan's works is like a dream among Hollywood actors. Every actor wants to be one of the lucky ones like Robert Downey Jr. or Scarlett Johansson. It's just that there are too few such opportunities.

Keira Knightley never thought that she would encounter such a good thing, and by the time Zhang Fan really appeared in front of her and invited her to play the role, Keira Knightley was already excited.

Fortunately, Keira Knightley's agent was able to stay calm and began to discuss various specific details carefully with Zhang Fan. Including treatment, remuneration and so on.

Zhang Fan's salary for Keira Knightley starts at $6 million for the first film, and then rises by 25 percent for each film. The cap is $15 million, and five contracts are required at a time.

For Keira Knightley at this time, this level of treatment is already good. Compared to her in small-scale films, she has to make a lot more money. Although her agent tried to get some more benefits for Keira Knightley, it was only when Zhang Fan came up with a way to deal with Orlando Bloom's agent that they finally chose to compromise.

After all, at least for now, it seems that they have taken advantage of it, and of course they have to agree.

After declining Keira Knightley's invitation to dinner, Zhang Fan went to find the main target of his film. Played by Captain Jack Sparrow's Johnny Depp.

In this movie, Zhang Fan really values only Orlando Bloom, Keira Knightley and Johnny Depp. As for the other actors, such as Jeffrey Rush, who played Barbossa, and others were the rest of the company to negotiate. Because compared to the three protagonists, the others are not important.

The place where Zhang Fan found Johnny Depp was not in his home, but in a bar. The actor, who was once hot in Hollywood, was now addicted to alcohol all day long.

The bar is dimly lit and the pungent smell fills the bar. Scantily clad women and drunken men were everywhere. If it weren't for Johnny Depp's agent leading the way, Zhang Fan might not have found Johnny Depp who was submerged in the pile of wine bottles for half an hour.

"I guess I'll talk about work at another time. Looking at Johnny Depp, who was already drunk on the sofa, smelling the strong smell of wine around him, Zhang Fan frowned and said to Johnny Depp's agent that it was best to talk about it next time they met.

Johnny Depp's agent, Bohm, immediately apologized to Zhang Fan, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang." Depp had just broken up with Vanessa, and he wasn't in a very good mood, so he drank two more drinks. I woke him up right away. ”

Bohm knows very well what it means for Zhang Fan to come to Johnny Depp to star in the movie, which means that Johnny Depp, an unlucky guy who is about to be given up by Hollywood, is about to turn over!

Zhang Fan, as the boss of a large company, has precious time, and he took the initiative to come to Johnny Depp but encountered this kind of thing, at least Bohm felt very dissatisfied, and he was afraid that Johnny Depp would lose this precious opportunity because Zhang Fan was not satisfied.

Bohm first chased away a few of the staggered, scantily clad women who had already drunk them. Then he picked up an ice bucket filled with ice water and crushed ice cubes from the table next to him. After coming to Johnny Depp's side, he poured ice water and ice cubes from the ice bucket directly on his head.

"Hey!!" The drunken Johnny Depp came to his senses in an instant under this strong stimulus. There is no way, whoever encounters this strong stimulus must also wake up.

Johnny Depp jumped up from the sofa almost directly, shook his head vigorously, and after waking up a little, he saw the agent carrying an ice bucket on the side, and pushed him directly in annoyance. If Bohm wasn't his agent, Johnny Depp wouldn't have pushed him but just stepped forward and waved his fist.

"What are you doing?!" Johnny Depp wiped his face with both hands and shook off his hands full of ice water, "Are you crazy?"

Not to mention in the United States, even anywhere in the world, this kind of thing will basically lead to a fight. That is, because Johnny Depp is still a little sober and can recognize his agent for many years, otherwise he might have picked up the bottle just now.

"Mr. Zhang Fan is coming to you. He's ready to invite you to star in his new movie. Bohm stood expressionlessly and looked at Johnny Depp. If Zhang Fan hadn't come to Johnny Depp to film this time, he would have even thought of giving up Johnny Depp. After all, if you want others to help you, you must at least have the capital to be helped. This kind of decadent person who buys drunk every day and dreams of death will be unhappy if he is anyone.

"What Zhang Fan? I don't know!" Johnny Depp, who had not yet fully sobered up, roared angrily, and he tore open the buttons to take off his wet clothes. But just when he unbuttoned his shirt,
