Chapter 465 [Counting the Money for the Festival, Doing What You Say]
On Sunday morning, the stars train and are free at noon.
Guo Xu met and chatted with Jesse Lysiak, who was preparing to open a restaurant in Los Angeles, for a while, and then asked agents Harpy Waters, Robert Smith and others to have lunch together.
The matter of investing in Jesse to open a restaurant was put on the agenda, and Guo Xu told Megan about it, and generously let the two girls meet, so that Megan would not be cranky.
Even if Jesse is very beautiful and has a body like a supermodel, Megan is not jealous this time, her attention is on another thing.
At lunchtime, Robert talked about the expected dividends of the movie, which was so much money that she couldn't believe it would be.
Meghan didn't get paid when she made this movie, which was counted as a 10% dividend. If it were other young actors, it would definitely be impossible to sign such a contract, only Hollywood A-list stars can sign a bonus contract, and they have to be male stars, female stars are generally paid low in the entertainment industry and are subject to gender discrimination.
Robert can't treat Meghan as an ordinary little actor, they signed an internal agreement and didn't make it public.
At that time, Meghan felt that this kind of small-budget comedy was just filmed and played, just to be with Guo Xu, the movie didn't hit the street, and she didn't drag her feet to succeed.
As a result, now the movie is a box office hit, and her dividends are a terrifying number.
The North American box office of this $10 million film is expected to end up at around $150 million, and the global box office can reach about $250 million even if it doesn't reach 300 million. If fans are willing to collect, the gross income of North American DVDs is about 100 million to 150 million US dollars, and North American TV broadcaster Robert has also relied on his family connections to negotiate, with an income of at least more than 20 million.
In the end, the brokerage team roughly estimated that the net profit would reach about $150 million.
This is only the net profit on the books of known data, and the rest of the overseas DVDs cannot be counted for the time being, and the income mechanism around North America is very sound, and there are many revenue channels, which is conservatively estimated to be 150 million US dollars.
Megan's 10% dividend became more than 10 million, and the Hollywood first-line actress was completely exploded, and the female sling suddenly became a rich woman.
Guo Xu, as the number one investor, earns more from his salary and dividends, making movies is indeed more profitable than playing ball, and a movie is almost the same as his six-year maximum salary in the NBA.
How much money Meghan takes cannot be disclosed to the public, otherwise it will disrupt the market.
Take Jackie Chan's 2001 blockbuster "Rush Hour 2" as an example, Jackie Chan is treated as the main creator with $15 million plus dividends, Tucker has a one-time salary of $20 million, no dividends, the director has a one-time salary of $5 million, no dividends, and Zhang Ziyi's one-time salary is $450,000.
As a blockbuster that ranked fifth in North America in 2001, the global box office was close to 350 million, and Zhang Ziyi only got 450,000, and under normal circumstances, Meghan must be lower than her. If it weren't for Guo Xu's investment, she wouldn't even be able to get 300,000.
The reporter asked Guo Xu how to spend Valentine's Day? He didn't tell the truth, the two of them spent money to play Valentine's Day, which was much more romantic than sending flowers, eating, and dating.
Megan was still smiling from ear to ear in the afternoon, she wouldn't eat a woman's vinegar casually, she was obviously the proprietress of the future "Fat Fox Group", how could she eat chef Jesse's vinegar?
When the money arrives, Fat Fox Pizza will also be on the road to expansion. It's only been less than two months, and the Phoenix store is already booming, with customers every day, and they have already chosen a location to open a second store in the local area.
In the evening, the highlight of the weekend, the East and West Stars main game.
The gimmick of this All-Star Game is more alternative, not whether the Lakers star can win the MVP, but "a different All-Star Game, a more intense matchup". Stern also made a point of mentioning Friday's rookie game, thinking that the star game could try to play more seriously.
In fact, the league is afraid that the eastern loss will not look good, so it is so promoted, looking at the lineup, the eastern part is obviously at a disadvantage, and there is a gap in the fame and strength of the stars.
Even a center like Margloyl can be selected for the All-Star Game, and there is simply no one to choose from in the East, which is why Ben Wallace became a starter and has a super high number of votes, who else can fans vote for if they don't vote for him?
The last time the Eastern Stars won was in 1998, the season when Jordan retired for the second time. In 1999, due to labor disputes, the Star Game was suspended, and since then the East has lost for 4 consecutive years.
Will the All-Star Game be defenseless and offense-oriented, like the rookie game? It's impossible, because there are several blue-collar players in the East, and they can only defend, and they can't play if they don't defend.
In order to make the eastern players look normal to defend seriously, the media asked the fans to be mentally prepared in advance, and used brainwashing to make them feel that the eastern style of play is also very good-looking.
Ben Wallace, who was named to the All-Star team for the second time, was named Defensive Player of the Year, and he also has two very good defensive partners, Ron Artest and Kenyon Martin, both of whom are good defensively, as are Mageloyle and Kidd.
After the start of the game, the interior advantage of the Western team was still obvious.
Halfway through the first quarter, Yao Ming shot 4 of 5, got 8 points and 2 rebounds, and was the person with the most points in the West.
Guo Xu only made one three-pointer and handed out two assists in one shot.
O'Neal also performed very hard after coming on as a substitute for Yao Ming, dunking twice and blocking Big Ben's shot. The Western players didn't defend hard in this quarter, leading 35-31.
D'Antoni deliberately delayed Guo Xu's playing time, allowing him to play with O'Neal, and staggered the timing of Kobe and O'Neal. The "OK combination" is just making a fuss in the Lakers, and the star game does not pass the ball to each other to make the media see jokes, and teammates are still unhappy.
NBA officials wanted to invite him to sing the song "see you again" at halftime, which is a good gimmick and will definitely attract fans. But O'Neal refused, on the grounds that they couldn't sing well in the live version, in fact, he wanted to sing "Never Again" to Kobe.
It is very easy for Guo Xu to help O'Neal win the MVP, he reduces his shots, and just passes the ball to O'Neal more in the half, and occasionally the two play a block, Guo Xu attracts the inside line to change the defense and then divides the ball to O'Neal who is empty.
This time, the two sides did not play a one-sided game, but in the final moments, the interior combination of Western O'Neal and Duncan played more consistently, and consecutive points helped the team win 143-132.
O'Neal scored 28 points, 12 rebounds and 3 assists and won the MVP of the All-Star Game at home.
Seven Western troops scored double-doubles, Guo Xu had 14 points, 12 assists and 3 steals, Kobe Bryant had 23 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals, and Yao Ming also played well, scoring 16 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists.
Guo Xu regarded himself as a pure point guard, waiting for opportunities outside the three-point line after the ball, shooting 6 of 8 and 2 of 3 three-pointers, which was very efficient, and had a beautiful two-handed back dunk in the counterattack.
Although he failed to win the All-Star Game MVP for the third time, Los Angeles fans did not feel sorry, they just felt that he was very righteous and said that he did it by helping O'Neal win the MVP.
O'Neill was very happy, and in his acceptance speech, he specifically mentioned Guo Xu, calling him a lifelong brother.
The photographer gave Guo Xu and Kobe a close-up, and the expressions of the two formed a stark contrast.
Guo Xu was sincerely happy for his friend, applauded O'Neill, and smiled happily; Bryant's expression was more like boredom or jealousy, and people speculated that he was frustrated that he didn't win the award today.
By this year, Guo Xu has triggered many butterfly effects, and there will be many variables in the future. He doesn't know if the OK group will stage a drama of laughter and enmity in the future, but now the two are indeed incompatible, and after the end of this season, O'Neal is basically settled.
