Actors choose box office dividends, which are generally divided into two situations. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The first is that the value of actors has doubled, and Hollywood's ceiling salary can no longer meet their status and appeal, so they choose the way of box office dividends, let the actors become part of the whole project, bear the risk of the success or failure of the project, and share the benefits with the producers. Johnny Depp's sequel to "Pirates of the Caribbean" is a typical case, and it is obvious that the 20 million club is not enough to show the importance of the actor, so Disney chose the way of box office dividends, and the final salary is as high as 43 million.
The second is the friendship of actors, many independent films or small-budget productions, the budget cost is tens of millions, or even less than 10 million, it is impossible to take out a quarter or fifth of the cost to invite a big-name actor, which outweighs the loss, so the actor can choose the box office dividend to get paid. John Travolta starred in "Pulp Fiction" is the most famous representative, this work has a budget of only 8 million, even if John was at a low point in his career at the time, but it was not something that the crew could afford, so John only got a salary of 170,000 - this is almost the salary of a third-tier actor, and the rest was paid by box office dividends, and finally John's salary reached 13 million, and the salted fish turned over.
Obviously, Charlize chose the second option.
However, the situation is a little different, because the crew of "Mad Max 4" is not short of money - although Chaos Pictures is in a difficult situation right now, any savings are very good, especially the eight million salary of the heroine, Lance can use this money to shoot more shots, but in the eyes of outsiders, this is not the case. Charlize's move is not only a relief in the snow, but also full of confidence.
Now the whole of Hollywood is looking at Lance's jokes, although because of the results of "Fruit Hard Candy", doubts and criticism have been weakened, but because of the particularity of the work "Mad Max 4", people still maintain a reserved attitude - even if this is Lance's work, it is still difficult to succeed, whether it is from the work itself, or from the market feedback, from any point of view, the future is uncertain.
200 million investment? In the eyes of industry professionals, "Lance is still too young and impulsive...... Too conceited. ”
In other words, no one is optimistic about the box office prospects of "Mad Max 4", and Charlize chooses box office dividends, which is likely to be a waste of hard work. If "Mad Max 4" is like "Sahara Cavalry", and the final North American box office only makes 48 million, then Charlize's income is really below the par line.
Therefore, Charlize is willing to choose box office dividends, which shows her full confidence in Lance, and at the same time, she also expressed her support with practical actions.
"Jerry Bruckheimer said in an interview last week that 'Sahara Cavalry' was filmed in the desert and that 'Mad Max 4' seems to be planning to build a desert in the studio as well." Lance's smile had a hint of banter in it, "Aren't you worried?" ”
"I'm just an actor, I don't know much, and math is especially bad. All I know is that you're not Breck-Esnar," Blake is the director of "Saharan Cavalry," and "and all of your current works have done well at the box office, and I've heard that they've made a lot of money." Charlize could clearly see a hint of a smile in Lance's azure eyes, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but raise everything slightly, "Finally...... I love what you're doing as a director. Every producer has to take some risks when investing in a new project, and the same goes for actors, and if there is a 100% successful investment, then it is definitely a scam. So, I'm willing to take this risk, depending on whether you're willing to cede this part of the benefits to me. ”
The wise and cunning eyes shone against the backdrop of the long golden hair, even in front of Lance, Charlize was still full of aura, not only did not fall behind, but also faintly took the initiative.
This made Lance laugh dumbly, and he began to be more and more satisfied with Charlize, she was completely Ferrosa, from the inside out, "You need to go back and discuss the dividend bottom line with the agent...... Or do you already have an idea now? This is tantamount to acceding to Charlize's request.
Since Charlize is willing to share the risk with dividends, Lance doesn't mind making full use of Charlize's salary to create a better work.
"My agent would hate me for being self-motivated, but I always felt that a great director, a great script and a challenging role were a deal that money couldn't get. Now that these conditions are in place, I can't be more greedy. Charlize tucked his chin slightly and smiled, "Five percent, what do you think?" ”
It is indeed not high, if Charlize's agent comes out, it will be at least more than eight percent, especially considering the current situation of Lance in Hollywood, Charlize's charcoal is likely to become a bargaining chip for the agent to raise the asking price. But even if it is five percent, it means that the North American box office of "Mad Max 4" must be at least 160 million or more, so that Charlize will not lose money - this box office target is fully three times the final result of "Sahara Cavalry".
"Deal." Lance agreed crisply, and then half-jokingly said, "I hope you don't regret it." ”
"I'm willing to sign the Fruity Waiver Statement, do you think I'll regret it?" Charlize tilted his head and said with some annoyance, but only for a moment, and then a smile bloomed like melting ice, "Don't worry, I'm not Leonardo, and I'm not Tom." ”
This is to make a mockery of Tom and Leonardo being too squeamish. Before the filming of "Murder with a Knife" began, Tom signed a contract to waive the right to confirm and handed over all the decisions to Lance, but after the filming was officially launched, Tom was still unwilling to cooperate with Lance's work, and the two sides had a fierce conflict, which completely angered Lance at the beginning and almost broke up. It's no secret in the circle, Charlize is ridiculing it.
"Haha." Lance smiled sincerely, "You'd better not make such an opinion in front of Tom when he comes to visit the class. ”
Charlize raised the corner of his eyes slightly, noncommittal, "So, I'm now a member of the crew of 'Mad Max 4', is there any news I can know?" Or rather, what do I need to know? For example, are we going to shoot in a Burbank studio? Or go to Canada? ”
"Looks like you've done your homework." There was something in Lance's reply.
Recently, Chaos Pictures' preparations in Los Angeles have been stalled at every turn. The hottest news is that Chaos Pictures rented a studio from Burbank, hoping to build the Sahara Desert and complete the filming of the movie in it, but all the studios in Burbank were loaned out, and Chaos Pictures hit a wall everywhere, looking for nearly three weeks, and still did not find a suitable studio, and now there are rumors that the crew of "Mad Max 4" may have to leave Canada.
Lance smiled mysteriously, all of which he deliberately released to divert the target. He won't reveal anything until he achieves his goal, even if the other party is a member of the crew, including Charllots, "I think the first thing you need to know now is that the movie is not 'Mad Max 4', but 'Fury Road'." ”
Charlize was stunned, "So, the movie has nothing to do with 'Mad Max'?" ”
"Yes and no." Lance smiled and said that the protagonist of the movie is still Max, which is indeed born from George Miller's "Mad Max" series, but in fact, the script has not much to do with the previous series, Lance has built a new world, and all the characters have been overturned and restarted. So, the movie is not "Mad Max 4", not the latest sequel to this series, but "Fury Road", a brand new series that has been reopened.
Although Lance didn't explain much, Charlize looked excited, "I'm already looking forward to the script now." When can I see the script? ”
"Soon." Lance continued his mysticism, "However, your previous workout should continue and maintain a good body line. We all know that the 'Mad Max' series is in the end of the world, and if you are too thin, let alone become a hero, it is estimated that you will not be able to protect yourself. ”
Charlize has just finished filming "Magic Woman", so the fitness effect is still very obvious, not strong muscles, but flowing lines, which is pleasing to the eye.
Charlize pursed his lips, raised his head high, and then fell heavily, "Good, I know the crew a little closer now." "It's ironic that Lance doesn't want to reveal anything.
Lance smiled and nodded, as if he hadn't heard Charlize's sarcasm at all, "Welcome to the crew." ”
"Now, we don't need to keep pretending to be dating, right?" Charlize blinked and said playfully.
Lance followed Charlize's gaze to look out the window, and then saw the paparazzi across the street, he knew that Charlize was fighting back for her being used, "It should be unspoken rule time next, I think we should enjoy dinner and then go to the room to continue the conversation." Lance said seriously.
"Dinner, no problem; room, forget it. Charlize also said solemnly, "My boyfriend is not ready to face competition, and he is still with a man who is more attractive than women." ”
"Huh. Thanks for the compliment. Lance picked up his knife and fork and gracefully began to cut his own lamb chops, "Especially since this compliment comes from a woman who is so charming, even a woman who makes her legs weak." ”
Charlize also picked up the knife and fork on the table, biting the tip of his tongue gently, his white teeth revealing a hint of eerie threat, "Let's not care too much about this skin, anyway, in the next cooperation, it must be destroyed, right?" ”
"A wise choice." Lance said. (To be continued.) )
