Chapter 311: Chris. Evans
Danny. Camacho looked at the Asian in front of him with some curiosity, that is, Li Zhen.
Of course, he knew who the other party was, the head of the Chinese company called 'Dimension Entertainment' in North America. It's just that he doesn't quite understand why such a movie made by a Chinese company would want to invite Chris to play one of the two leading roles?
Have you fallen in love with Chris, and the popularity she has accumulated around the world by playing 'Captain America'?
But...... Aren't they worried that this kind of series, superhero adaptation of movies, and the actors who are picked up will have a fixed image?
This is exactly what many actors in superhero movies are facing.
It's not just Chris. Evans, including Chris who plays Thor like 'Hammer'. Hemsworth, too.
The two of them have said more than once in front of the public and the media that they don't want to continue acting.
What is 'I won't continue to play Captain America', what is 'I'm tired of the role of Thor'......
More than once.
This is actually very normal, from the perspective of the actor himself, if he has a higher pursuit, he will not be willing to play a role for the rest of his life.
This pursuit, referring to art, is also business.
There is no real superstar, just play one role and be done. Stronger than 'Captain' Johnson. Depp, as well as 'Iron Man' Robert Jr. Downey seems to be extremely popular, and in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, as well as the Marvel series, he plays the corresponding role, and the salary is terrifyingly high, but as soon as he leaves the series where he became famous, his influence suddenly drops.
This is the hidden danger.
Therefore, "Captain America" and "Thor" will think about how to get rid of the inherent image.
But how easy is that said? If you want to change to another film, it's not so easy. They are born from these two characters, and even their own images have been bound to the corresponding superheroes.
Other films, please them, will have a huge worry. For example, Chris. Evans, as soon as you see him, will you unconsciously think of him as 'Captain America', and thus feel dramatic?
This is a great harm to the movie itself.
This may not be as important as ever. What's even more worrying is that he has only shown business ability in the role of 'Captain America'. Can Evans have strong enough commercial appeal after leaving the role of 'Captain America'? If you don't have commercial appeal, why should I use you as a famous actor?
And for actors, the problem is just as good.
If the series of movies and fixed roles continue to be played, at least the situation will not get worse, the salary will only rise and not fall, and the fame can continue to be maintained. But once you change to another series of movies, if it succeeds, everyone is happy; failed, which is an extremely heavy blow to the actor, which will further deepen the impression of the outside world: he can only play the American team.
When the actors and filmmakers are very cautious, it is natural that it will rarely happen like Chris. An actor like Evans runs to act in other commercial blockbusters.
But none of this has an impact, Camacho fights for more for his employer, he is a professional agent, and this is his job.
What's more, after careful discussion, Camacho, as Chris's agent, believes that going to China to act in a movie should not be a big problem. If you succeed, you can get back Hollywood publicity, says Chris. Evans's influence is not just as simple as the American team, running to act in a Chinese movie can be successful; Failed, it's just a Chinese movie anyway, not Chris. Evans is not good, it is not good for Chinese films.
It was with this idea in mind that they decided to cautiously try to get in touch with the Chinese team.
"We can accept going to China to make a film, but only if the salary is satisfactory. After our internal discussions, we believe that the salary of $20 million is a price that can better reflect Chris's value. ”
"We are very sincere, but we also hope that you can remain sincere." Hearing this price, Li Zhen shook his head with a sneer and said, "Two million US dollars? Mr. Camacho, your offer makes me feel no sincerity on your part. There aren't many members of the Hollywood Club of 20 Million, which certainly doesn't include Chris. Evans. At this price, I can even use it as Tom. Cruise's stepping stone is up. ”
Before Camacho could speak, Li Zhen continued: "If you insist on such an offer, I don't think there is any need for us to continue talking." ”
After saying that, he made a gesture and was about to leave. Camacho stopped him at the end, though.
Camacho was a bit of a lion before that. Asking for a price is a normal business behavior, but he doesn't really want to directly scare off the other party through this, and if there is no sincerity in cooperation at all, there is no need for him to take time to meet with this Chinese.
"I can understand that you don't agree with the $20 million offer, but I don't think Chris's price will be very low, and I want to hear your offer and finally see if there is any point in continuing to communicate further between us."
"Seven and a half million dollars, this is our offer. As far as I know, this price has already exceeded Chris's salary for playing Captain America. ”
"That's true." Camacho wasn't going to lie about it, "but I have to stress that Chris going to China to make a film is a huge risk. The Chinese film industry, IMHO, is not mature enough, and we are worried about the quality of the finished film, which may affect Chris's future career development. ”
Saying this, his face did not blush and his heart did not beat: "So, we ask for more additional remuneration to offset the risk." And, the same company of yours, invited Henry. Cavill played a role, all of which cost 10 million dollars, and I don't think Chris should be paid less than Henry. ”
"It's not comparable." Li Zhen said, "In addition to Superman, Henry Cavill also has other influential film and television works, which cannot be equated. Eight million dollars, this is our final offer. ”
The two of them argued for a long time, and Li Zhen bit the price of eight million US dollars, and he refused to go any higher.
Moreover, in addition to being paid outdoors, he also requires that he sign contracts for at least three leading roles, and at the same time is obliged to cooperate with the filming of non-main roles in other films in this series, and the salary of each film will not increase by more than 10%.
At the end of the day, Camacho said, "I need to go back and think about the answer I'm giving you." ”
Li Zhen stood up: "We don't have a lot of time, next week, my boss will come to the United States, I hope before that, we can reach an agreement." ”
