Daniel's salary in the second part of "Spy Shadow", after Universal Pictures announced that he confirmed his appearance in the sequel, and was confirmed by the CAA agent's statement, quickly became the focus of heated discussions in the media. In addition, the seven major studios, such as Emperor Gate, New Line, Mira Marx, DreamWorks and other independent studios with their own characteristics, are also paying attention to this market, and there is no doubt that before the sequels of "The Lord of the Rings" and "Spy Heavy" show heavy losses, Daniel will become one of Hollywood's most popular actors, and countless funds and investors will flock to it, and whether this trend has arrived, the ferocious Cheng Dù will come from the new contract that Universal Pictures gave Daniel.

Speculation abounds in the report:

Will Daniel go straight into the 20 million club this time, becoming the youngest 20 million member after Leonardo DiCaprio?

Daniel, who started trying to get a cut last year, will he be able to continue to make a fortune in this hit this time, and has Universal Pictures regressed?

However, whether it's Universal Pictures, DD Pictures, or Daniel's personal team, they all understand the interest in this collaboration. So none of them responded positively to the relevant information, after all, this is a ready-made promotional resource, "Spy Shadow" is still in the period of rapid cumulative growth at the box office, at this time, any positive exposure is always welcomed by Universal and Daniel. Because there are always a lot of people who will see these reports, and then become curious, and then go to the cinema to support the box office.

Of course, there are also people with great powers, who turn to the Screen Actors Guild after not being able to obtain this top secret from Universal Pictures.

According to the regulations, a copy of the contract must be filed with the actors' union, so that once the two parties have a correction, as an industry association, the union will make its own statements and actions according to this contract. But it's a pity that Universal obviously didn't let go of this loophole, because they don't need to send the contract now, they just need to send it to the Actors' Guild before filming starts, and there will be no problem, as long as both parties agree to it, Daniel's team will obviously not object.

Once the argument has lasted long enough, it is only natural that someone with enough weight and experience will come out and speak out.

Therefore, the conclusion reached by the media is basically that this time Daniel will undoubtedly enter the 20 million club - after all, before that, his worth has been as high as 12 million, after the explosion of "Spy", the price of other films has risen to 15 million, this time to take over the sequel to "Spy", without 20 million, it is basically impossible.

Now the question is, is it more than 20 million, how much? The second is, if the basic salary is only 20 million, will there be a share, in what form? The highest omni-channel, or the lowest North American box office.

"Whether Daniel's knife is sharp enough and whether his agent Kusa's negotiation skills are strong enough will be the main factors that determine this qiē, and Universal may not be able to resist Daniel's demands. After all, judging from the current film review, it is basically all focused on Jason Byrne's interpretation, and he is undoubtedly the absolute center of the film. And in the poll on this newspaper's website, 'If Daniel Sandler doesn't appear in a sequel, will you still watch it?' The results clearly showed that nearly 45% of people said they would not watch it, the remaining 45% said they would wait to see the quality before deciding whether to watch it, only 10% said they would definitely watch the sequel, and in the special statement, nearly 95% of people expressed a strong desire for Daniel to continue to star as Jason Bourne. These numbers must have been collected by the people at Universal Pictures, and everyone's loyalty to Daniel is much higher than that of "Spy", and Universal can't make a decision that is too risky. Let's see if the young 20 million club members are determined to push their worth even higher. —The New York Times.

"Looks like people expect more from us, Mr. Damon, and your negotiation skills are obviously not very good."

"No, you're too soft-hearted, young member of the Twenty Million Club."

Kusa showed no signs of weakness.

Andy stood aside, looking at the triumphant pair with disdain.

"Oh, Andy, don't look at me like that, the more I earn, the more your year-end bonus, you know?"

But that didn't stop Andy from rolling his eyes.

Presumably, Jose and Meyer, who are in charge of negotiations on the global side, will have the same ideas as Andy.

This is indeed a disgusting guy for two people.

They just got a contract worth tens of millions and nearly hundreds of millions from Universal, and they are still here shamelessly saying that they are weak and generous.

Maybe Morgan Freeman will teach them a lesson - he will play God in "The Impostor."

This contract, which has attracted countless people but is known to only a few people, is not what everyone thinks. is a packaging contract that includes two parts, "Spy 2 and 3".

Universal will pay $40 million in base remuneration for this, plus a 10-point share of the global box office.

It's so cool.

But this contract will be executed until the release of the third "Spy" series in 2006, there are still four years to go, and Daniel has not been four years since his debut, how much will his value rise by then, 20+20? Again, as in the "Mission: Impossible" series, Tom Cruise asks to step in and invest in order to make more profits.

It was an investment from Universal Pictures, but it was largely unanimously approved by the company's top management, and Ron Meyer, who proposed it, was quite proud.

"The Lord of the Rings" will not have any problems, then at least until 2004, Daniel will continue to be influential, "Spy" is based on the original work of the late producer Robert Rudrum, and in terms of reviews, the story of the second part has received even better praise than the first part, so for "Spy 2", Universal has nothing to worry about.

In addition, Daniel has a lot of projects on his hands, such as Universal's own "The Impostor", MGM's "Hotel Rwanda" - this film has an Oscar-winning cast of two heavyweight actors, Denzel Washington and Daniel Sandler, plus its special cultural background, has received a lot of attention. In addition, "Pirates of the Caribbean", which cost 35 million to cooperate with Disney, is also a blockbuster, although the future is unknown, but it is worth looking forward to, after all, Daniel has not disappointed.

plus a "Pianist" that made him emperor Cannes.

Literary films, commercial films, dramas, comedies, independent films, series - Daniel, who lacks nothing, has no reason to doubt his growth?

Therefore, with a package contract to control Daniel in the third part, he increased the weight to the highest level of 20+20, and there are even capital requirements, of course, Universal's abacus is not a loss.

From Daniel's side, such a contract is very helpful to maintain a high coffee position, and this number is not low in absolute terms. The global box office revenue of "Spy Shadow" will definitely not be less than 400 million, and according to the current progress, the highly anticipated second part is very likely to exceed this number, then 10% of Universal's income is about 20 million, which is a slight difference in basic calculation, but Daniel will make more than 40 million income from "Spy 2" is already doomed - how many people in Hollywood can compare?

Of course, he will not refuse such a contract, otherwise in "Spy 2", even if Universal relaxes, it is impossible to agree to ten points of the company's global box office share, at most five points of the global box office, or ten points of the North American box office, which involves one or two million dollars, and affects his quotation in other film cooperation, and the actor's salary is not set in stone, Leonardo, a new member of the 20 million club, will be difficult to enter it again for a period of time because of the failure of "The Beach", and Daniel of course has such a risk, especially with investments and performances like "Pirates of the Caribbean" that seem to everyone to have an uncertain future.

Therefore, the final contract is a win-win situation that satisfies both parties.

When the Universals will be made public depends on how they operate. However, Daniel's request is that it cannot be later than the end of next year.

It's understandable that Daniel's schedule is almost as good as it is, and if he wants to increase his value with this contract, he will have to let the bosses of major companies and the media know about it next year - now, even if they do, they will pretend not to know.

Lately, Daniel's team and friends have been amazed by the number after number, both visually and predictably.

This can't be avoided, every actor who enters this ranks always has this experience.

As far as Daniel knows, Robert Downey Jr., who is about to participate in a new DD film, has an example of a single film earning more than 60 million in the future - in "Iron Man 3".

Sandra Bullock - one of the few women in the 20 million club, who earned more than 70 million in "Gravity", has a super contract, and is also the one that most stars - including the contract that superstars aspire to, 20 million guaranteed salary, 15% of the company's box office revenue share. Plus a certain percentage of omni-channel income: from DVDs, TV rights, website on-demand payments to peripheral products, all of which have to be scraped by her.

Daniel, of course, doesn't have that confidence yet, but it's not far off.

After happily discussing his income, Daniel had to put in the energy, time, and talent that matched it.

Take Jerry Bruckheimer's phone call.

Yes, this time they are here to discuss the heroine, because she is very popular, so Jerry decided to make sure as much as possible so that he can devote himself to it, and in addition, he also asked DD to have a resident producer, and David, as the CEO of DD, has a hard time having the energy to follow the group.
