Best Actor

    First movie role? How much did you get paid? How could he not remember, Frederick will always remember, that **** guy, that guy named Chicharelli, cut down the already negotiated salary of 600,000 to 300,000 step by step, while himself. I can't have an opinion with Sean. This time, he asked Miramax for a salary of 10 million. In addition to the valuation of Sean, it was not without the meaning of demonstration. If the lowly people did not have Weinstein's instructions, how dare they do so.

    "Then, the second question, how much time did we spend from when to now?" Sean immediately asked.

    The agent sighed but didn't answer, he knew what he wanted to say, and he knew it was indeed a miracle, but he had a lot to think about.

    "I know what you're thinking, Fred," Sean smiled insightfully, "I admit, if I can get into the club of millions, it will indeed be immeasurable to my career. help, but is now a good time?"

    Frederick froze for a moment, then frowned and thought for a few minutes: "You mean...you don't like this movie."

    For an actor who has just entered the multi-million-dollar club, the worst thing is that this movie has caused a serious loss to the producer. In this case, although it will not be labeled as a box office poison, if the lower production does not reduce the salary, it will be difficult to get the role again, but if the salary is reduced, it will only go in and out.

    "I can't say I'm not optimistic," Sean smiled, "Answer me a few questions first, Fred, how much is the investment for this movie?"

    "Although it has not been discussed yet, it is at least 70 million or more." The agent gave an answer after thinking about it.

    "That is to say, at least double the increase compared to the last film, "The Genius Ripley", right?" Sean's face brightened, "and more than "The English Patient" It's nearly three times higher, and then, what's their box office?"

    "Well..."The English Patient" is about 140 million worldwide, while "The Genius Ripley" is about 120 million." Frederick did his work, and I still remember these data clearly , and the reaction is not slow, "You mean, unless Anthony has obvious changes in this movie that can attract audiences, there is a possibility of losses."

    "Although I've only worked with Tony once, I know he's just as strict about landscapes in films as actors, whether it's Sahara in The English Patient or Ripley the Genius Italy, which makes his films relatively slow," Sean continued, shrugging his shoulders, "After the millennium, people's life is getting faster and faster, so they prefer fast-paced films. So, we all know the tricks in the cost of movies, but if the box office of "Cold Mountain" doesn't change much compared to the first two films, then at most the cost will be kept."

    Frederick pinched his chin and frowned deeper, but he had to admit that Sean's words made sense, which made him very depressed.

    "I feel like I'm going to be persuaded by you again, why is this always the case." The agent asked angrily and unwillingly.

    "Because I'm right." Sean spread his hands with a smile, then took a deep breath and looked at him seriously, "I appreciate what you did for me, Fred , I also understand your feelings, but don't worry too much, since we only spent more than three years, we have changed from a rookie actor who can only earn 300,000 yuan to a star close to the first line, then the club of tens of millions, Even 20 million clubs, will it be very far?"

    After a pause, he laughed again: "Or do you think I can't do it?"

    "How can there be something you can't do." Frederick sighed, accepting the fact, "Well, I know what to do, but Sean, I hope If this happens again in the future, no matter what, don’t take your position lightly.”

    Although he knew it might not be useful, Sean was not the kind of person who didn't know how to work around, but he was not so easy to compromise, he never gave up on what he decided, and he realized it from the beginning At this point, he still has to say, who made him an agent?

    After the communication, the tone of the matter was set, although Sanders still had some regrets.

    "It's not bad if you can enter the club of millions now, you are already very popular, although they are all alternatives, there is no shortage of such a one," he said to Sean in private, "Even if you don't like this movie, even if you took it for Anthony, you must have a way to get yourself out of the predicament, right?"

    "There must be a way, but why risk it?" Sean asked with a smile, "Or, Sandy, do you really think now is a good time to enter the club of millions?"

    He sighed lightly: "I know there is a saying in China..."

    "Don't tell me this, okay? You know, I have a headache with those squares and their pronunciation." Sanders interrupted immediately.

    "Okay okay," Sean laughed, "Anyway, no matter how thick a tree is, if it stands out in the forest, it stands alone outside, and a strong wind blows. It's easy to knock it to the ground. But if it's just a little bit taller than the other trees, as long as this forest is there, no matter how strong the wind is, it can take it."

    "Simply put, like in high school, we always excluded guys who were too arrogant or too rigid?" Sanders said after thinking for a few minutes.

    "Although it's not very appropriate, it's almost what it means." Sean nodded.

    To be frank, Sean's heart beat faster when he heard Frederick say 10 million, ten million club, who doesn't want to join? If an actor's salary can exceed 10 million yuan, his identity, status and influence will immediately become completely different. He knew very well that the other party's purpose in coming to him was not only to find out what was going on, but also to pull him together to put pressure on Miramax.

    For a few minutes he wanted to agree, but when his mind recovered, he immediately chose to refuse.

    First of all, Sean has promised Minghella that he will play, and Miramax already knows this, so once the talk collapses, it will be very bad. Then again, the Ten Thousand Clubs, while alluring, is not a good time to join, and there are several reasons for that.

    The first point has been told to Frederick before, and it fell out immediately after joining, so it is easy to become a joke, which is not only bad for the career, but has a considerable impact. The second point is naturally what I said to Sanders. He has been in the limelight enough. Although it was all production and music before, the release of six films in June is enough to make many people look at him. At this time, he climbed too high. It is easy to become the target of public criticism.

    As for the third point, it is the contradiction between honor and value. Although the two are not completely contradictory, it is not so easy to achieve both. There are fewer, even fewer clubs with 20 million. Moreover, even Nicolas Cage and Tom Hanks experienced setbacks and hardships, and their commercial value only rose after they became emperors.

    So, it is better to move forward steadily now, and there is no shortage of money for the salary. Although Sean has created a miracle, he has become a rookie actor in three years. Too fast, he didn't go through so much tempering—although he has experience in previous lives, it can only make him mature personally, and it doesn't help him much in his current career, so the foundation is not yet solid.

      The Wan club is also a matter of time. And... as long as your own production company develops, even if you focus on honor, it's a big deal to open a movie for yourself, and then open a salary of 10 million.

    As long as the movie box office is not bad, no one can say anything. Isn't that what Drew does?

    Put this aside for the time being, and still hand over all the negotiations to Frederick, Sean immediately contacted Eric Brace, yes, the one from "Death Comes 2" replaced James · Huang's screenwriter.

    The other party was about thirty-four, five to forty years old. He was not tall, with a square face, curly hair, and a beard. He looked rather rough. There was nothing to talk about in the whole process. After making an appointment to meet, Sean first asked him to explain his ideas in detail, then he looked at the script that had been completed one third of the time, asked a few questions, and finally exchanged terms.

    Brace's condition is very simple, he hopes to be directed by himself, because this idea has been brewing for several years, and it was not officially formed until last year, so no one understands the rhythm of the plot better than him .

    Sean thought about it carefully, and then agreed. He didn't remember who directed the "Butterfly Effect" in his previous life, but he felt that he could trust the other party once. However, he also put forward his own conditions, that is, whether or not women can be the protagonists.

    "Change to a female as the protagonist? Why?" Blaise was puzzled.

    “Too many horror movies and thriller movies feature men as protagonists, and women are vases in them. Although everyone is used to this mode, to a certain extent, there are also some Tired of this model." Sean said seriously, "So if we make a change, as long as the movie is good enough, it will be a surprise success. Last year, Nicole Kidman's "Island" proved that Having said that, this year, Reincarnation Pictures will continue to prove it with a horror film ready for release on Halloween."

    Of course, this is nonsense, all Sean thinks is to find some good roles for his women.

    Don't worry about Kate, she's already a famous actress, and she doesn't need to use horror movies and thrillers to boost her fame; don't worry about Camilla, she's still young, there's no need to make horror movies for the time being . Others, Naomi has the US version of "The Bell", Jordana has the remake of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", Katie has the US version of "The Grudge" that is about to start filming, and someone has nothing.
