"So...... Few?! Frederick looked at him for several minutes and seemed a little incredulous, "1.5 million to 2 million dividends are less?!" ”

"If the total box office is 800 million, then isn't the 1% dividend 8 million?" Sean was rightly speaking.

The agent couldn't help but cover his head: "God, even if it's only 1.5 million, it's more than 10 times the original salary." What you seem to mean is that after the new line signs a dividend contract with you, the theater chain and the distributor will also give you dividends? Who do you think you are, Sean? Jack? Nicholson or Tom? Cruise? ”

Sean raised his eyebrows, of course he knew that it was actually unlikely to make so much profit, and 1.5 million to 2 million was indeed not low, but the reason why he would find a way to fight for the dividend contract was for a greater purpose, and 2 million was definitely not enough.

"If you count the total box office of 800 million yuan, the new line will be able to get 40% of it, and then the distributor's publicity expenses will be 20 million, and then the cost of 100 million will be deducted, how much will you calculate?" Frederick continued, "What's more, this is only the most haode situation, in addition to this, the new line can also sit on the box office, which is also a habitual trick of film companies, the North American box office is relatively strict, they are not easy to start, but it is difficult to say overseas." ”

"It's such a hassle." Sean rubbed his head.

"You think that's all there is to it?" Frederick shook his head, "Do you know that Weishenme was able to sign a dividend contract in the first place?" I'll exchange your merchandise for that. ”

"Perimeter division?" Sean was a little surprised, "You mean ......"

"Since they decided to make "The Lord of the Rings" into a movie, they must also have a certain plan for the peripherals, and many times the profits of the peripherals are not small." The agent shrugged his shoulders and said, "Basically, several main actors have such a peripheral contract, after all, the salary is too low, and the work intensity is too high, how can you do it without a little sweetness, do you really think that calculating the salary by the hour can allow the actors to work hard outside for a year and a half?" The new line can't get a higher salary, so it's okay to use the peripheral sharing contract to wrap it up, after all, no one can say what will happen in the future. ”

After a pause, he said again: "So I made an exchange with them to negotiate the dividend contract, after all, you were not famous at that time." But then again, if it were you now, with Golden Globe and Oscar nominations, they wouldn't say yes anyway. ”

"I have a question," Sanders interjected next to him, "If the movies have been popular, for example, each of them has a total box office of 800 million in the whole Shijie range, then there should always be a share of the peripherals, right?" In this way, 20 years will live...... No, even after 10 years, it will be obvious which one has a higher income, right? ”

"That's not wrong," Frederick didn't care about his tone, "so it depends on your choice, whether to gamble once and get a share of one or two million in a short period of time, or to spend ten years or more to get the corresponding benefits through the surroundings?" You know, it is easier to make fake accounts on peripheral profits than on box office profits, and the box office still needs to publish data, but the surrounding areas only need to communicate with factories and dealers. ”

"Isn't there an actor fighting for his own interests?" Galen asked with a frown.

"Yes, but it's very troublesome to investigate, unless the film company is too greedy, resulting in a big difference between actual sales and books, so that the actors feel the need to spend so much time and energy on lawsuits, they will only turn a blind eye." The agent shrugged again, "That's the reality, gentlemen. ”

At this point he stopped, but looking at the way he folded his arms and squinted his eyes, he knew that this guy had something else to say, and was waiting for Sean to ask.

It's a pity that whether it is Sean or Galen, or Sanders, who has always liked to raise the bar with him, they all look thoughtful, and they don't have the slightest intention of asking anything.

In desperation, Frederick had no choice but to take the initiative to speak: "But don't worry, after I discussed with the lawyer, I still have a small tail in the contract, if the surrounding profits are very large, we can negotiate with the new line." ”

"The lawyers of the new line will not be able to see it?" Sanders was skeptical.

"Sometimes, some old-fashioned methods can have a very good effect, such as attaching harsh conditions to the global box office, such as renegotiating when everyone asks for dividends, such as when it comes to portrait rights," the agent said proudly, "It is impossible to make a final decision on this kind of thing, and there are always loopholes in the law that can be exploited, so negotiations will definitely be inevitable at that time." ”

"So be it," Sean scratched his head at this time, "although it is far from what I thought, it is not bad to have an income of more than 100 to 2 million." ”

This is one of his strengths, if something is irreparable, and there is no need to do it, then he will choose to give up and immediately look for a new way to achieve his goal.

But then again, there is no alternative way for a while, luck and vision are indispensable, so even if Sean is a little anxious, he can only temporarily put his energy into other aspects.

For example, when I went to the set of "Mulholland Drive", since I went to "Invisible Tricks" to visit Jordana, of course I should go to Naomi to see it, but this time there was no Lolita to ride him on the set.

As for whether it will be discovered by reporters, it doesn't matter, as long as most of the staff are avoided. As for David? Lynch and Naomi have already been recommended by Sean, do you need to say much about the relationship between the two?

Naomi is still in great shape and has invested a lot in the role, but everything else remains the same, especially after Sean was nominated for an Oscar for Best Actor.

Even though they had finally spent Valentine's Day together — Jordana had gone on a field trip to Europe — what was the case, maybe for someone, that was what he wanted to see.

After all, even if Jordana is not there for the time being, there are some contracts that still have to be fulfilled.

"That's ...... That's it...... Again...... Again...... Oooh...... Again!! With Jennifer screaming, the two on the bed almost blended into one, despite being.

After a while, the girl leaned down, gasped and lay on the bed, and then hugged Sean for a moment before recovering.

"Don't use that next time." Jennifer said as she pulled the quilt over her chest.

"Oh? weishenme？ Sean was puzzled.

Jennifer didn't speak, just pointed down, and when she looked down, her knees were already a lot red, and it looked like if she used a little more force, maybe her skin would break.

Well, it's a nuisance, and if she goes out in a long skirt, it's fine, but if she wears a short skirt that doesn't fall short to the knee, then you're probably going to see something.

"Just be careful next time, didn't you like it a lot? It's a lot of noise. Sean smiled and put his arm around her waist and kissed her on the back of the neck.

"Not anyway!" Jennifer was silent for a few seconds, then turned over and said, "I'm up to me here." ”

"Oh?" Sean narrowed his eyes, "Isn't it time for us to negotiate?" ”

"Don't forget, I'm looking for you, Sean!" Jennifer insisted on it, and bit her lip, although she had just rolled with passion, and there was still a satisfied expression on her face, but there was a trace of stubbornness in her gray-blue eyes.

"Okay, but you have to give something, don't you? Or are you thinking of me as a stripper? Seeing her like this, Sean, who wanted to say something, could only swallow it back, and then asked half-jokingly.

Jennifer was stunned, as if she didn't expect him to speak so well, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, bad, as if she thought of something. Then, she rolled over and sat up, ignoring the quilt slipping, exposing her carcass, walked to the edge of the chair, and pulled her purse out.

"It's yours...... Tip, my stripper. She pulled out a $100 sheet and handed it to Sean, then said.

Sean was stunned for a moment, then took it a little funny and angry, looking at her and not knowing what to say for a while.

"Now, I'm going to take a shower, you can come if you want, but you can't sleep in my house today." Jennifer said this again, and then deliberately twisted her ass in front of him and walked into the bathroom.

Sean, who was on the head of the bed, rolled his eyes, but did not follow in, but held the $100 in front of him and looked at it carefully, then shook his head with a wry smile. It seems that she is really hurt deeply, and she wants to take control of everything, which is really embarrassing.

After that day, this was the third time they had slept together, and if Jennifer still had some negative thoughts at first, after so many times, coupled with Sean's nomination for the Oscar for Best Actor, she obviously planned to keep it like this - the benefits of the Oscar nomination for Best Actor are quite a lot.

However, as a man, Sean can give her a point for the time being, but he can't let it go forever. Of course, he could choose to find a random excuse to cut off the relationship, but as he said before, from Jennifer, from the open-minded appearance she showed that night, he found someone's shadow again.

Some things are unforgettable, so it's like seeing it in Kate, even though he knows that the other party has a husband, he can't help but make a mistake, and like Naomi, he swallowed it back because of a hug falling asleep. Of course, this is indeed a man's instinct, and Sean never denies it, but for him, as long as he doesn't cross his bottom line, then he doesn't need to think too much.

Well, that's it for now...... Stripper ...... Sean shook his head again and dropped the $100 bill onto the bedside table. Considering Jennifer's current state of mind, he doesn't plan to care much, but ...... If she unexpectedly won the Oscar for Best Actor this time, and she is also the youngest winner, how will she pay the bill at that time?

Of course, it must be a matter of time before she is allowed to actually do a striptease in front of herself.
