After the polite words, Diego Harris cheered up the spirit of twelve, an agent like Bill Rosith, the reputation of being difficult has long been spread in the circle, when it is profitable, the lion's mouth of the CAA will definitely open to the maximum and bite down a piece of meat as big as possible. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

However, he also knows very well that a superhero movie project like this will definitely have to pay a considerable price if it wants to impress Murphy Stanton, Warner Bros. and DC Comics.

He has already said before that 25% of the film's total revenue is used as Murphy Stanton's personal dividend, which is definitely the top sharing contract for the whole of Hollywood.

This is also the bottom line of Warner Bros. and DC Comics.

Diego Harris's head is spinning rapidly, and now that he has agreed to Murphy Stanton's original sharing conditions, the other party's attitude has obviously softened, and the sharing should not be a big problem, even if Murphy Stanton's appetite is big, at most he will increase the price in terms of basic salary.

For ordinary senior directors, these producers would rather give a little more post-production sharing, rather than increase the basic salary, a substantial increase in the basic salary will greatly increase the upfront investment, thereby increasing the risk of the project, but not in the later stage, and it can better bind the director or other important members of the crew to the project.

But directors like Murphy Stanton are definitely not in the ranks.

Everyone in Hollywood now knows that Murphy Stanton is a person who guarantees a film's market revenue more than superstars like Tom Cruise and Leonardo DiCaprio, and judging by the last five films, his work is simply synonymous with box office hits.

In this case, it is very uneconomical to pay a huge post-production share compared to increasing the basic salary.

In terms of increasing the basic salary, Bruce Rosenblum has not made clear requirements, and he still has some room to operate.

In just a moment, countless thoughts flashed through Diego Harris's mind, and then he had his own psychological bottom line.

In order to successfully get Murphy Stanton, he is willing to accept a salary of 20 plus 25, which means a base salary of 20 million US dollars plus 25% of the film's full revenue share!

In Diego Harris's view, this kind of remuneration is not unique in Hollywood, but it is also a very rare super big contract.

Of course, he couldn't have said this directly, otherwise it would not have been a negotiation, but waiting to be slaughtered by Bill Rosith.

Diego Harris believes that the conditions offered by Warner Bros. and DC Comics, which he represents, are already very high.

After the polite words, Bill Rothes cut straight to the point, "Let's talk about Murphy's salary first." ”

"Please." Diego Harris made a gesture of please.

Saying that everything else is false, and the salary is the key to determining the cooperation between the two parties.

Bill Rothes stuck out his index and middle fingers, "$20 million base salary." ”

Hearing him say this, Diego Harris didn't say it, and he was slightly relieved, but Bill Rothes then said, "In addition, thirty percent of the total revenue of the film in the future will be Murphy's personal share!" ”

Thirty percent? Diego Harris's eyes widened instantly, and he couldn't help but say, "This can't be! ”

Bill Rothes spread his hands and shrugged again.

"I said it before." Once again, Diego Harris emphasized, "Twenty-five percent gross revenue share!" ”

"That's Murphy's previous price." Bill Rothes laughed, "Diego, do you think the current Murphy is still the same as the old Murphy?" He has a higher status in the industry, stronger appeal, and deserves to be paid more! ”

Diego Harris shook his head directly, "Warner Bros. has no precedent for this. ”

"There must always be the first person to walk the road." Bill Rossis said.

"I'm sorry." Diego Harris sighed from the bottom of his heart, Murphy Stanton was even more insatiable than he thought, "I can't agree to such a condition." ”

"Okay then." Bill Rothes stood up directly, "It seems that we can't work together again." ”

Diego Harris saw that Bill Rothes didn't want to talk anymore, and subconsciously wanted to stand up and stop him, but thinking that this would make his side more passive, he forcibly endured it.

Bill Rosis was about to leave, and before leaving, he said, "Diego, you know my number, if Warner Bros. agrees to our terms, you can call me at any time, Murphy is still very cooperative." ”

Is this also called sincerity in cooperation? Diego Harris was tempted to rush up and squirt Bill Rothes in the face, but his mouth said, "I'll report this to the company." ”

"Goodbye."

With that, Bill Rossius walked straight out of the reception room.

Such a price is not his assertion, but Murphy's offer, Murphy has his own plan to carry out, unless there is a major accident or a reward that cannot be refused, he does not want to interrupt the plan that has begun to prepare at all, Warner Bros. came to him at this time, of course he had to offer a sky-high price.

If Warner Bros. and DC Comics agreed, such a price could bring in huge revenue, and he could also interrupt his plans a little.

If Warner Bros. and DC Comics refuse, he has nothing to lose.

Diego Harris was the first to inform Bruce Rosenblum of the negotiation process by phone.

Sitting in his office, Bruce Rosenblum held the phone, I don't know why, I was relieved in my heart, and there was a faint hint of joy, didn't Murphy Stanton offer such a high condition, didn't he just give himself a reason to refuse?

At a recent board meeting, many people attacked him for giving up on working with Murphy Stanton, thinking that Murphy Stanton should be brought back to continue directing DC's superhero film series, and these people, like Diego Harris, are real power figures and put a lot of pressure on him as the CEO.

Well, now that Warner Bros. could not agree to such a condition, there was no precedent for such a condition before.

"Diego, you continue to engage with Murphy Stanton." Bruce Rosenblum always has to show a positive attitude, "'Wonder Woman' will have to wait for a while, talk slowly, don't rush." ”

With Murphy Stanton's current status, it is almost impossible to reduce the salary of a big-budget commercial film, and it is difficult for Warner Bros. to reopen the collaboration with him.

"Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" did fail miserably, and Murphy Stanton did bring unprecedented glory to DC's superhero series, but there are so many Hollywood directors that he doesn't believe in DC's comic superhero movies, and he has to be tied to Murphy Stanton alone to succeed.

Who knows, the "Suicide Squad" that is being planned will be a big hit at both the box office and word of mouth?

Bruce Rosenblum feels that this possibility is not impossible, Warner Bros. can wait a little longer, and DC comic superhero movies will not always be so unlucky.

Murphy was on his way to James Franco's house when he received a call from Bill Rosies, who was more patient than Warner Bros., so that Bill Rothes didn't have to rush at all, and slowly talked to Warner Bros., even if it didn't work.

If it can't be negotiated, the only regret is Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman, but fortunately, those shameful games that both of them are very obsessed with can make up for this regret to a large extent.

Halfway to Santa Monica, Murphy met up with Jonah Hill and rushed to James Franco's home together, they both came to visit Lily Collins, that James Franco's marriage proposal caused Lily Collins to be forced to gastric lavage, which was not a big problem, but Lily Collins may have been on a strict diet in recent years in order to maintain her figure, and her stomach and intestines have been not very good, and gastric lavage has caused her gastrointestinal dysfunction, and she has been in poor physical condition recently.

"I knew so," James Franco said, with a look of chagrin, "I said I wouldn't do a fancy proposal." ”

Jonah Hill patted him on the shoulder, "You're still so unreliable." ”

James Franco rarely didn't fight back, just looked at Lily Collins on the couch.

"Murphy," Lily Collins asked, looking at Murphy's side, "when will Gail be back?" ”

"It's April." Murphy just asked Gal Gadot last night, "Their family is having a little trouble with their business." ”

"Is it a big problem?" Lily Collins asked with concern.

"Minor problem." Murphy smiled, "It's almost fixed." ”

"Gail isn't there......," Lily Collins hammered down the pillow she was holding, "Susan is so busy with work that she doesn't even have anyone to go shopping with me." ”

She suddenly turned to Jonah Hill, "Aren't you trying to chase Emma Roberts?" How's it going? ”

"That ......," Jonah Hill scratched her head, "she's been hiding from me since that time." ”

Thinking of Jonah Hill's burlesque, Murphy and James Franco both laughed, presumably Emma Roberts left a shadow that time.

Murphy suddenly had an idea, "Joe, isn't Seth's script planned for Hollywood stars to play a real-life version of them in the film?" Why don't you invite Emma Roberts? I believe that she will consider such an opportunity. ”

Because of Julia Roberts's relationship, Emma Roberts is somewhat famous and often receives media attention, but her situation in Hollywood is not good, not even as good as Lily Collins, and a representative work cannot be found, which is also a typical example of the kind of popular characters who are not popular.

"Good idea." Jonah Hill nodded, "I can go and give it a try." ”

After staying at James Franco's house for a while, Murphy and Jonah Hill said goodbye and left together, and when they returned, Murphy received another call from Bill Rosith, Warner Bros. had just officially announced the director of "Suicide Squad" on social networking sites, and seemed to be telling him in this way that without him Murphy Stanton, DC's superhero series would not be affected in any way.
