Chapter 632: Rejection of five plus five
Looking for Gosling is still for Justin Timberlake, because Song Ya later found out that he not only sang the chorus of Deadandgone, but also the one he used to sing, oh no, he also sang the chorus of WhereisTheLove in the past, and he could make a lot of money with WhereisTheLove, and Deadandgone looks like he will be the first strong single, and that kid will be the king of choruses in the future!
Although Linda didn't think there was much of a chance, he wanted to try again.
"Justin?"
The fourteen- and five-year-old children in the United States are already very mature, and Gosling replied: "We were good brothers in the Mickey Mouse Club, but after the disbandment, we have not been in touch again......"
"Didn't you leave phone calls for each other?" Song Ya asked.
The handsome guy in front of him shrugged, "Most of the children in the club and I come from ordinary families, and he is a rich kid and used to ...... After the club disbanded, we had to go back to our respective secondary schools, and his mother signed him to a big record company, and we were not the same kind of people, Mr. As. β
"Oh, I see."
Looking at Gosling's attitude, it is estimated that he and Justin Timberlake used to be the kind of superficial brothers, and the children sometimes have a competitive psychology that is not inferior to adults, and Gosling is not young, didn't he also debut at the age of fifteen?
At this time, a middle-aged man quietly approached and was stopped by Old Mike, "I'm Gosling's agent." β
"Hello." Song Ya shook hands with the two of them, "Then so be it, I'll think of other ways." β
"Thank you, Mr. As, for giving Gosling this opportunity." His agent took the opportunity to express his gratitude.
"It's okay, I didn't participate much in the casting of this show, if you want to thank Seyeremov, he did help Gosling a lot." Song Ya nodded goodbye to them.
The agent watched Song Ya leave, "He didn't do anything or hint at you just now, right?" He asked Gosling.
"Hints? No, he didn't care about me at all, he was asking Justin Timberlake about it. Gosling squeezed out a smile, "It's always been like this, I'm used to it." β
The agent breathed a sigh of relief, "Oh, that's good. β
"What's so good?" Gosling asked.
"It's nothing, there are rumors in Hollywood that he is chasing Xiao Lizi......" the agent said: "You should pay attention in the future and try not to stay alone with him." β
Song Ya would probably die unjustly if he heard the whispers of the two, but he didn't have the heart to care about it for the time being, because Linton, the president of Hollywood Pictures, called.
"I just received an offer from David Fincher's agent, five plus five." Linton exclaimed.
"Five million in salary plus five percent box office share?" Song Ya understood, "What do you think?" Is it the last offer? Or is there room for a counter-offer? β
"Today is the deadline, this is the final offer, we can't drag it out with them, otherwise the project will be delayed." Linton said: "The money I am responsible for is almost complete. β
"Are you willing to accept the offer?" Song Ya asked.
"I can't accept it, he's not worth the money, the production cost of Alien 3 is 50 million, and the global box office is more than 100 million, this result is very average, I heard that he himself is not satisfied."
Linton said: "And the share he wants is five percent after we and the theater chain split the account, and the cost of publicity and distribution is not counted, which is too high." β
"I see......"
The box office of the movie is divided into several parts, and in the first part of my life, A+ records are settled proportionally after the distributor and the theater chain split the accounts, and then remove a series of expenses such as publicity and distribution, copying, etc., which is a relatively loss to the production company, but the production company generally implements this method of account sharing.
Hollywood directors and first-line actors, or the kind of actors that the producers of the sequel to the series have to use, are likely to get David Fincher's share of the cost of publicity and distribution, but it is only possible that it depends on their game with the film company. There is also a cooler one, which is directly divided according to the total box office of North America or the world, no matter how you divide it with the theater chain, how much the publicity and distribution cost is, I will get my share first, Jack Nicholson has got this kind of contract before.
Of course, there are the coolest and the worst, and there are also some external investors who will buy the production company or distribution company's investment products for specific films or film packages, and that kind of will have to wait for the producer to scrape another round, and the rest will be their turn, and a money-making movie can easily make a loss and make them lose their money, unless they find an insurance company to hedge the risk.
Linton used to only engage in projects with an investment scale of less than 5 million, and a director wants to take off the investment ceiling of his previous film and also want to divide a high share, how can it be so good, "As, I want to directly reject him, do you agree?" β
"Do you have a candidate?" Song Ya asked, "Isn't it still going to be delayed to talk to other people?" β
"Of course there is, a lot, I'll get back to you right away." Linton hung up.
When he tried to call back, he found that Song Ya had already arrived at the door of his office at Hollywood Studios, "I have a candidate here, Ridley Scott." β
"Thunder ......"
Song Ya was still thinking about matching people's names with memories, and Hayden had already exclaimed, "He messed up a lot of projects, and he was notoriously difficult to work with." β
"It's just him, he can be in place the fastest, and he's the cheapest, and no one else is better than him."
Linton said: "He has shot a lot of classics, aliens, blade runner, and the end of the flower......"
"But he also ruined a lot of projects, his last job as a director was in '92? Columbus biography, 47 million investment, North Mi box office 7 million, global box office is only more than 10 million? Others are directly embarrassed to mix up in this business! β
Hayden said anxiously.
"He used to be a first-line director, and for a while in the 80s, he also got tens of millions of directors' top salaries, and his ability is undoubted, alien led the era of a genre film, Blade Runner was not good at the box office, but now it is a recognized classic in film history, and the end of the road is applauded and acclaimed. He just has a lot of ideas and ideas for filming, and his thinking is a little bit ahead of his time......," Linton said: "David Fincher's Alien 3 is not as good as his first one, and it only benefits from technological advances." β
"He's not ahead of his time, he always wants to express his ideas in movies, philosophy, about the future, about human epics in the age of science fiction, the evolution of political systems and new human relationships, etc., he always makes a lot of nonsense about the final editing rights of the film company, and a few days ago he jumped out and said that the new director's cut of Blade Runner is not from his hand, which makes the distributor very embarrassed, and this kind of director will give us a headache!"
Hayden argued, "And he's been out of business since the Columbus legacy!" I haven't made a movie in almost three years. β
Song Ya has watched several classic movies of Ridley Scott, which is not bad, he personally prefers the end of the road, as for his street fighting works, he has not seen it, who would watch that kind of film without it.
And it seems that you mentioned him in a casual conversation with an acquaintance?
"There's a reason why Columbus's biography failed at the box office, it was a British, French, Spanish and American co-production, and it was so ambitious and epic that it was made with the money of the French and Spanish public institutions, and the director had limited room to play. The kind of plot that deliberately excavates the greedy and tyrannical side of the protagonist Columbus towards the natives cannot please European and American audiences, but this is the political task of European countries to express their introspective thoughts, and the box office is not the focus of their attention......"
Linton retorted: "We can shut his mouth with a contract on the issue of nonsense, and believe me, I am the most professional." β
"Wait, I'll make a call......"
Song Ya remembered that he mentioned Ridley Scott when he was chatting with Barenboy, the music director of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and the two seemed to have a good relationship.
"Mr. Barenboy, I'd like to ask you about this person from Redliscott......"
After a long phone call, he knew in his heart that Redliscott and Barenboy had a good relationship because their political positions were close, and that they were not the kind of superficial majority, such as words or shows, but a very small minority who sincerely wanted to use art to transcend the barriers of race, ethnicity, civilization, religion, etc., and to practice it.
For example, Barenboy, as a Jew, insisted on collaborating with musicians in Barrastan even when the Middle East war was in full swing, for which he received a lot of criticism and pressure from the outside world, but he still went his own way.
Ridley Scott and he are the same kind of people, so the two appreciate each other and can talk to each other.
"As long as this kind of person is not involved in grand issues such as what human beings and what civilization they have risen, they are still reliable, right? For example, aliens, such as the Flower of the End. β
Song Ya doesn't bother to care whether their thinking is naΓ―ve or noble, at least Redliscott's directorial level is recognized by the world, and now he is unlucky because he has put out a big production, so cheap, cost-effective......
"That kind of person, you can't hold him down, and the alien has the same related thinking as in the Crazy Flower of the End." Hayden said.
"I'm not going to give him the final editing rights, he clicks sciss......ors when we don't like it," Linton put on a killer gesture to clamp down on the director, "what can he think of in a cat-and-mouse game like a legendary liar's autobiographical commercial film?" β
"So, Linton, I can agree to let him direct, but I want the final editing rights, not the kind of unworthy ones that I have in my life project, but the real final editing rights. Of course, A+ Records and Hollywood Studios share it, but you have to fully respect my opinion. β
The quality of the finished film, Song Yaxin said that he has it in his head, and when the time comes, he will just draw the scoop and cut according to the gourd, and he will definitely not be able to take off the reins.
"What about the issuing company? I can't even command the guys at Bowei Pictures......"
Linton is only the president of Disney's company responsible for low-budget films, and Broadway Pictures is the distribution company responsible for Disney films.
"It's okay, I'll ask my co-investor, Johnny Carson, to say hello to Mr. Roy Disney." Song Ya said.
Linton was caught in a long test.
"Well, while Mr. Eisner is undergoing surgery, Roy can talk at Beauwell Pictures." After a long time, he nodded in agreement, "I didn't expect you to keep this trick, what?" Want to do a surprise attack? β
"You wait......"
Song Ya heard something wrong with his words, "What did you mean when you said that Mr. Eisner was doing surgery just now?" Roy is the Disney family! β
"Huh."
Linton smiled, "I can't figure out the people of the Disney family, how Mr. Eisner is the emperor of all Disney, Roy is so obedient in front of it that he doesn't even dare to speak loudly, you have the opportunity to observe quietly by yourself and you will understand everything." β
