Hugo relied on his powerful superstar brilliance to be born, creating the first $20 million salary in film history. It is conceivable that the "20 million club" will become everyone's dream goal in the future, not only those second- and third-tier actors, but also first-line top actors, including Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Harrison Ford and other box office superstars.

The ripple effect caused by a 20 million salary has only just begun.

But if it is only 20 million salary, this still does not seem to be enough to describe Hugo's unique and strong appeal in the world, many people have noticed a detail in the "Los Angeles Times" exclusive report: Hugo's salary will reach an unprecedented 20 million, in addition to Hugo will also enjoy box office dividends!

Before this "20 million salary", Hugo successively relied on "vulgarity" and "speed of life and death" to get a salary of 30 million, which is also an unparalleled height in the whole of Hollywood, but the basic salary of these two works is very low, and it relies more on the dividends brought by the amazing box office of the works.

And now, Hugo's basic salary has been increased to an unprecedented 20 million in one fell swoop, but he still enjoys the right to box office dividends, which is really shocking!

Such treatment can be said to be incredible, and the superstars who currently get a basic salary of 15 million in Hollywood, because their basic salary has become dominant, so generally speaking, they will not enjoy box office dividends. If they are like Harrison Ford and Tom Cruise, who play the leading role and also work part-time as a film producer, then they can participate in the box office dividends as producers, but as actors, they have no dividend ratio.

Only when the salary is less than 10 million - or even less than 6 million - will the producer pay the actor more in the form of box office dividends. Such is the case with "vulgarity" and "speed of life and death".

This is also the inevitability of cost control and profit control of film production companies, no company is a charity, and the pursuit of more interests is their essence. Therefore, remuneration and dividends are a trade-off relationship, and it is impossible for film companies to give up their interests.

But now, Hugo not only got Hollywood's first $20 million salary, but also participated in box office dividends, which can be called the first time in the world, and even in the eyes of many professionals, this will also be an unprecedented move, no film company will be stupid again, Hugo's situation this time is just a special case - unfortunately, they did not expect that ten years later, the strong influence of actors has become one of Hollywood's top powers.

Putting aside the completely different new world ten years later, at this moment, the 20 million salary has caused an uproar in the entire Hollywood, which will be a turning point for the film industry, but 20 million is actually just the basic salary, and Hugo can still participate in the box office dividends, the impact of this fact has made all languages pale and speechless, and people are dumbfounded and dumbfounded.

This treatment is the truest portrayal of Hugo's superstar halo today, a position that no one can match, not even a competitor worth mentioning. The only member of the 20 million club, and he also holds the scepter of box office dividends, Hugo today stands at the pinnacle of Hollywood, and he is alone in seeking defeat!

Of course, with the advent of box office dividends, people instead have concerns about the whole thing: what if, if it does, the box office fiasco?

First of all, whether it is a box office success or failure, in fact, Twentieth Century Fox has already earned it, and they have already gained enough attention on this topic, and for a long time to come, their every move will become the focus of media attention, and the projects they plan will become the object of curiosity of the audience, and the added value generated by hot topics can be regarded as a priceless publicity opportunity, which is a long-term effect that cannot be created by spending twice the cost of "20 million films".

Moreover, the next cooperation between Twentieth Century Fox and Endeavor Elite Agency and DreamWorks is bound to cause countless hot spots, compared to the attention caused by the "Los Angeles Times" this time, the brand effect generated by the 20 million salary is the biggest gain. Suffice it to say, this is the game-changing hand that wins!

Secondly, the box office can never be predicted, only the market can reflect the real result, the media has predicted countless times that Hugo's works will fail at the box office, but in the end they are all shocked; So what about the reverse this time - is it possible that the media is expecting an "apocalyptic" box office hit? Of course it's possible.

Naturally, Hugo has an influence, with the first 20 million salary in film history, but the result is a failure, then Hugo's status in Hollywood will definitely have an impact - although the success or failure of a work will not really hurt the bones, but the strong influence of 20 million remuneration plus dividends is bound to bring more reflection arc length. To put it simply, how lively it is now, but how miserable the failure will be.

This qiē is like a "death row walk", the news in August is boiling, making people raise their expectations high, and once the finished product falls below the exaggerated expectations by several times, the ending will definitely fall to the ground. Now that the attention of "the end of the world" has reached a peak, and it is also under the title of "Hugo's first official commercial popcorn movie", will people's expectations really be met?

For Twentieth Century Fox, 20 million plus dividends is a big gamble; For Hugo, why not?

Of course, these are all afterwords, and the reason why so many radiation ideas are produced is precisely the symbol of Hugo's rise to the sun, and people want to analyze almost every focus and every possibility in Hugo.

After the news of the "Los Angeles Times" came out, Hugo's limelight was unmatched for a while, even compared with Brad Pitt, who was powerful at the end of the year, he did not fall behind, it can only be said that Hugo and Brad are destined opponents, and the duel between the two is bound to continue.

However, the part about the box office dividend has not been revealed, and there are rumors in the circle that Hugo will get five percent of the box office dividend, provided that the North American box office exceeds 100 million US dollars. However, this rumor has not been confirmed by anything, and Kevin and Rick, who are the parties involved, have never talked about it.

In fact, Kevin and Rick battled over this payout ratio for a long time, and finally both sides took a step back and reached an agreement. Hugo can get a box office dividend ratio of 2%, which is naturally completely incomparable with the previous "speed of life and death" and "vulgar" ratios, after all, Hugo's basic salary this time is 20 million. But it is worth mentioning that the box office that Hugo can share dividends with is the global box office!

Prior to this, Hugo participated in the North American box office, but this time it was the global box office, which are two completely different levels. For example, the North American box office of "Life and Death" is 239 million, but the global box office is as high as 542 million, if you calculate according to this number, Hugo can get more than 18 million dividends, and the total salary will be as high as 38 million - pre-tax income.

This is also an important reason why the two sides finally determined the "2%" dividend ratio, and the reference object is the global box office.

However, Twentieth Century Fox is not a vegetarian either, and a harsh warning line is set in the dividend clause: Hugo can only participate in the dividend if the project's North American box office exceeds $200 million. In other words, no matter how good the overseas box office is, even if the total box office is as high as 500 million or 600 million, as long as the North American box office does not exceed 200 million, Hugo has no right to dividends.

This requirement is undoubtedly very demanding, and it is the bottom line that Twentieth Century Fox has always been unwilling to compromise. Although the North American box office of "Schindler's List" and "Speed of Life and Death" has exceeded 200 million, which has also won Hugo the name of "Mr. 400 Million", the difficulty of the 200 million threshold is known to everyone, "Vulgar" and "Seven Deadly Sins" have not been able to cross this threshold in the end, and there are only a handful of works in film history that have reached this level.

In fact, this coincides with the concerns of the media, under the background of 20 million salaries and box office dividends, can the box office of "Doomsday" really rise? Or did it just stop at the hype and end up being a box office failure?

Once in history, Jim Carrey suffered a box office fiasco as the first "ace correspondent" played by 20 million dollars in film history! So this time it was replaced by Hugo, what will be the ending? And the script of "Independence Day" has also been greatly changed, not only the black actor Will Smith has become white, but one of the branches has been canceled altogether, so can such a work replicate the glory of history? When history changes, everything becomes unknown, making tomorrow full of fun.

A "20 million salary" caused a sensation throughout North America, not only the audience, not only the media, not only Twentieth Century Fox, in fact, the entire industry was affected. Among them, as Hugo's agent, Endeavor Elite Brokerage Company once again stood on the cusp, and this brokerage company, which has repeatedly become the focus of discussion in the past year, has undoubtedly ushered in a good opportunity to explode again.

When the waves caused by the first 20 million salary in film history reached its peak, Twentieth Century Fox struck while the iron was hot and carried out the second wave of publicity, officially announcing the list of actors for "The End of the World". But for insiders, the list has far-reaching significance.

They all realized that Endeavour Elite Agency has become the first agency to complete the packaging cooperation after the three major Hollywood agencies! Hollywood, the storm is coming again.
