Chapter 5: Leap Beverly 3

"Hey, what are you talking about? Brad, you're not talking to Chen Feng about work, are you?" Spielberg looked at Brad Gray with a slight teasingness.

Brad Gray was suddenly speechless with some embarrassment.

George Lucas said on the side: "Okay, let's go sit down next to us and talk." ”

George Lucas, the father of "Star Wars", still has a relatively large face, Spielberg and Brad Gray have no opinion, and Chen Feng also wants to avoid being harassed by these women again, so he also nodded and agreed.

The few of them had something to talk about, and even Madonna couldn't stop it, so she had to let them pass.

"So, what did you just talk about?"

After the group came to the rest seat on the side and sat down, George Lucas asked first.

Brad Gray shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "We just talked a few words, what can be the result." ”

And Chen Feng said very frankly: "We really didn't talk about anything just now. As for my possible participation in "Raiders of the Lost Ark", I only made a verbal promise to Steven before, and whether I can cooperate with you in the future depends on the outcome of the negotiations between you and my agent. ”

"We can start negotiations with your agent tomorrow. Spielberg said a little eagerly, "Whether it's in terms of salary or box office dividends, we will definitely try our best to satisfy you." It's easy to talk about. ”

Spielberg, as the director of the "Raiders of the Lost Ark" series of films, is, of course, the most eager to cooperate with Chen Feng, as long as Chen Feng agrees to participate in his films. It's not just about making money, it's about his fame and honor.

"Yes, as long as you agree to participate in our movie, it's easy to talk about. As the screenwriter and producer of this film, George Lucas is also very good at talking, "Steven talked to me before, as long as you are willing to participate. The script for this movie, you can revise and create it with me. Even, we can give you a certain amount of casting rights. Except for Harrison Ford, we can leave the rest of the cast to you. ”

The two actually gave up the casting right to Chen Feng, the leading actor, which can be said to be very sincere.

But. Of course, these are not what Chen Feng wants most, what Chen Feng really wants is box office dividends. And it has to be at 80 percent. Seeing that they were so sincere, Chen Feng couldn't hide it anymore, so after he groaned a little, he also said what he wanted to do: "You should all know the box office income of my two movies now." Therefore, in business, although I am an actor, I can also be regarded as a businessman. If I'm going to play Raiders of the Lost Ark, you're going to have to give me the money I deserve, especially the box office dividends. Personally, I ask for a minimum box office dividend of at least 80 percent, and as for the salary, I don't want to pay more than $100 million, I can use this money as an investment to join the movie, but the box office dividend must be increased accordingly. You have to talk to my agent about the specific ratio. ”

The three of them listened to Chen Feng's two requests. They were all stunned for a while before they reacted, and then they all looked at each other a little. Let's be honest. Although they had already expected it in their hearts, they didn't expect Chen Feng's requirements to be so high.

The salary of 100 million US dollars is really not high, and some film companies have already offered Chen Feng a salary of 200 million US dollars, especially after Chen Feng's second film was a global hit and once again created a box office myth, several major film companies on the Hollywood side even opened the salary to a super high price of 300 million US dollars. With the box office guarantee of the two films, especially the second one, a small-budget film that did not meet the requirements of the high box office at all, is still a big hit, which fully proves Chen Feng's huge box office appeal. Chen Feng's hundreds of millions of fans around the world are the best box office basis for his films.

Of course, this sky-high salary is secondary, and the real main thing is the box office dividend. In Hollywood, some superstars participate in movies with box office dividends, such as Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise, both Toms, they all have box office dividends without exception, the question is only the proportion, but generally not more than ten percent.

In response to Chen Feng's special situation, Spielberg and George Lucas had previously raised the box office dividend to a super high standard of 50%, that is, let him take half of the profits, and as for the salary, they were even willing to give Chen Feng 200 million US dollars.

But unexpectedly, the minimum standard for Chen Feng's box office dividends was 80%, which completely exceeded the previous estimates of the two.

And Brad Gray was also frightened by the dividend ratio proposed by Chen Feng. If Chen Feng took 80 percent, > then the remaining 20 percent would have to be fought between Paramount and Spielberg and George Lucas, which was obviously not what he wanted to see.

Brad Gray also had his own minimum standard line on behalf of Paramount, that is, they Paramount, as the producer, must get at least 30% of the box office dividends. And now Chen Feng wants at least 80 percent as soon as he opens his mouth. Obviously, it is also quite different from the minimum standard he set before.

For a while, the three of them were all thinking about it. Of course, they will not take the initiative to say that Chen Feng's request is a lion's mouth, because Chen Feng has this confidence, and it really has to be calculated according to the box office standards of Chen Feng's current two movies, even if Chen Feng only has 20% of the profit left for them, they can still make a lot of money.

For example, Chen Feng's first movie has now exceeded $10 billion at the box office, so 20% is at least $4 billion, according to this standard, of course they have to make money.

Chen Feng saw that they didn't speak, so he said again: "I know that you may think that my requirements are a bit too high, and even the lion opens his mouth, but you must also know very well what the box office of the two movies I participated in is, according to the box office standards of these two movies, even if I go to ninety percent, only one percent is left for you, you will not lose money." Of course, how to pay dividends. You have to talk to my agent slowly. ”

Brad Gray's eyes rolled slightly, and he hurriedly said: "I agree with your dividend ratio in principle, but you also know." This kind of dividend ratio has never been seen in the history of cinema, and even if I am the chairman of Paramount, this matter must be discussed at the board meeting. When Brad Gray wanted to say something more, Spielberg and George Lucas both squeezed over.

"Hey, what are you talking about? Brad, you're not talking to Chen Feng about work, are you?" Spielberg looked at Brad Gray with a slight teasingness.

Brad Gray was suddenly speechless with some embarrassment.

George Lucas said on the side: "Okay, let's go sit down next to us and talk." ”

George Lucas, the father of "Star Wars", still has a relatively large face. Spielberg and Brad Gray have no opinion, and Chen Feng also wants to avoid being harassed by these women again. also nodded and agreed.

The few of them had something to talk about, and even Madonna couldn't stop it, so she had to let them pass.

"So, what did you just talk about?"

Several people came to the side of the rest seat and sat down. George Lucas asked first.

Brad Gray shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "We just talked a few words, what can be the result." ”

And Chen Feng said very frankly: "We really didn't talk about anything just now. As for my possible participation in "Raiders of the Lost Ark", I only made a verbal promise to Steven before, and whether I can cooperate with you in the future depends on the outcome of the negotiations between you and my agent. ”

"We can start negotiations with your agent tomorrow. Spielberg said a little eagerly, "Whether it is in terms of remuneration or box office dividends, we will definitely try our best to satisfy you, and everything is easy to discuss." ”

Spielberg is the director of the Raiders of the Lost Ark film series. Of course, I most eagerly hope to cooperate with Chen Feng, as long as Chen Feng agrees to participate in his movies, this is not just a matter of making money. It's about his fame and honor.

"Yes, as long as you agree to participate in our movie, it's easy to talk about. As the screenwriter and producer of this film, George Lucas is also very good at talking, "Steven talked to me before, as long as you are willing to participate.
