Best Actor

    "So... little?!" Frederick looked at him for a few minutes, and seemed to be in disbelief, "Is the dividend of 1.5 million to 2 million less?!"

    "If the total box office is 800 million, isn't the 1% dividend equal to 8 million?" Sean said confidently.

    The agent couldn't help covering his head: "God, even if it's only 1.5 million, it's more than 10 times the original salary. You seem to mean that after New Line signed a dividend contract with you , are the theaters and publishers going to pay you dividends too? Who do you think you are, Sean? Jack Nicholson or Tom Cruise?"

    Sean raised his eyebrows, of course he knew that it was impossible 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 a dividend contract, There is a bigger purpose, and 2 million is definitely not enough.

      How much is left?" Frederick continued, "What's more, this is only the best-case scenario. In addition, the new line can still play a role in the box office. This is also a habitual trick of the film company. The North American box office The investigation is relatively strict, they are not very easy to start, but it is difficult to say overseas."

    "It's too much trouble." Sean rubbed his head.

    "You think that's just the way it is?" Frederick shook his head, "Do you know why you were able to sign a dividend contract in the first place? I'll use your peripheral share to exchange it."

    "Divided around?" Sean was a little surprised, "You mean..."

    "Since they decided to make "The Lord of the Rings" into a movie, they must have certain plans for the surrounding area, and many times the profit of the surrounding area is not small." The agent shrugged, "Basically, a few The main actor has such a contract divided by the surrounding area. After all, the salary is too low and the work intensity is too high. How can it be done without any sweetness? I really think that the hourly salary can allow the actor to work hard outside for a year and a half? New Line If you can’t get a higher salary, then it’s okay to use the peripheral sharing contract to win over, after all, no one can tell what will happen in the future.”

    After a pause, he said again: "That's why I exchanged this with them, and then the dividend contract was negotiated. After all, you were not very famous at that time. But then again. Then again, if it were you who were nominated for the Golden Globes and Oscars, they wouldn't say yes anyway."

    "I have a question," Sanders added next to it, "If the movie is always popular, say, each film has a total box office of 800 million worldwide, then the surrounding The share should always be there, right? In this case, after 20 years... no, even after 10 years, it will be obvious which one has higher income?"

    "It's not wrong to assume that," Frederick didn't care about his tone, "so it depends on your choice, it's a bet once, to get one, The two million share, or it will take ten years or more to get the corresponding benefits through the surrounding area? You must know that it is easier to make false accounts on the surrounding profits than the box office profits. How much is the box office? To publish data, the surrounding area only needs to communicate with factories and dealers.”

    "Are no actors fighting for their own interests?" Galen asked with a frown.

    "Yes, but it is very troublesome to investigate, unless the film company is so greedy that the difference between the actual sales and the book is too large, so that the actors feel the need to spend so much time and energy to fight a lawsuit, otherwise Only turn one eye away." The agent shrugged again, "This is reality, gentlemen."

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

    Unfortunately, whether Sean or Galen, or Sanders, who always liked to fight with him, all looked like they were thinking and didn't mean to ask anything.

    In desperation, Frederick had to take the initiative to speak: "But don't worry, after I discussed with the lawyer, there is still a small tail in the contract, if the surrounding profits are large, We can talk to New Line again."

    "New Line's lawyers can't see it?" Sanders immediately expressed doubts.

    "Sometimes, some old-fashioned means will have good results, such as attached to the harsh conditions of the global box office, such as when everyone asks for dividends, such as when it comes to portrait rights, bite Re-negotiation," said the agent proudly, "it's impossible to make a final decision on this kind of thing. There are always loopholes in the law, so negotiations will definitely be unavoidable at that time."

    "That's 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 1 million to 2 million."

    This is one of his advantages. If something is irreversible, and there is no need to do it, then he will choose to give up and immediately look for a new one. method to achieve the goal.

    But then again, I can't find an alternative for a while, luck and vision are indispensable, so even if Sean is a little impatient, he can only temporarily focus his energy on other areas .

    For example, I went to the set of "Mulholland Drive" to visit the class. Since they all went to "The Invisible Trick" to visit the class for Jordana, of course I should go to Naomi's place to see, but this time But not a single Lolita rides him on set.

    It doesn't matter whether it will be discovered by reporters, as long as you avoid most of the staff. As for David Lynch, Naomi has already been recommended by Sean, so do I need to say more about the relationship between the two?

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

    Even though they had a Valentine's Day together at last - Jordana went on a set in Europe - so what, maybe for someone, this is what he wants to see.

    After all, even if Jordana is temporarily away, some contracts have to be fulfilled.

    "This...that's it...and then...come...oh oh...come again!" With Jennifer screaming, despite the rear entry, the two on the bed were almost fused.

    After a while, the girl leaned over and lay on the bed panting, and then hugged and cuddled with Sean for a while before she recovered.

    "Don't use this posture again next time." Jennifer, who pulled the quilt to cover her chest, said so.

    "Oh? Why?" Sean was puzzled.

    Jennifer didn't say anything, she just pointed down and looked down, her knees were already quite red, and it seemed that if she applied a little more force, it might break the skin.

    Well, it's really a hassle, if she wears a long skirt it's fine, but if she wears a knee-length skirt, then it's likely to be seen.

    "Just be careful next time, didn't you like it just now? It's very loud." Sean smiled and hugged her waist, and put it on the back of her neck. kissed.

    "No way!" After a few seconds of silence, Jennifer turned over and said, "I have the final say here."

    "Oh?" Sean narrowed his eyes, "Shouldn't we negotiate?"

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

    "Okay, but you have to pay something, right? Or do you take me as a stripper?" Seeing her appearance, Sean, who wanted to say something, could only swallow it. He went back and asked half-jokingly.

    Jennifer was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect him to speak so well, and the corners of her mouth lifted slightly, as if thinking of something. Then, she rolled over and sat up, even though the quilt slipped down, she exposed her beautiful body, walked to the edge of the chair, and took out her wallet.

    "Here's your... tip, my stripper." She pulled out a $100 bill and handed it to Sean, then said.

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

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

     Sean, who was on the head of the bed, rolled his eyes, but did not follow him in. Instead, he 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 the lead in everything, which is really embarrassing.

    After that day, this was the third time they had **** , she clearly intends to keep it that way—there's still a lot to gain from an Oscar nomination for Best Actor.

    However, as a man, Sean can give her a point for a while, but not forever. Of course he could choose to find any excuse to cut off the relationship, but as I said before, from Jennifer, from the way she showed herself that night, he found someone's shadow again.

    Some things are unforgettable, so after seeing it in Kate, even knowing that the other party has a husband, he still can't help but make mistakes, also like Naomi, already When he came to the mouth, he swallowed it back because of a hug and fell asleep. Of course, this is indeed a man's instinct, and Sean never denied it, but for him, as long as he doesn't cross his bottom line, he doesn't need to think too much.

    Well, that's it for now...Stripper...Sean shook his head again and tossed the $100 bill on the nightstand. Considering Jennifer's current state of mind, he doesn't plan to care about how much, but... If she accidentally won the Oscar for Best Actor this time, and she was also the youngest winner, how would she pay the bill?

    Of course, it must be a matter of time for her to really striptease in front of her.
