The current situation is that Matthew and Zach Snyder have neither the money nor the initiative in the face of Frank Miller. Miller is not stupid, and has been dragging on until the release of "Sin City", just wanting to occupy an absolute dominant position in the subsequent negotiations.

Matthew and Zach Snyder lacked the experience of actually working on a movie, and a lot of things weren't well prepared.

The most important of these is money.

It's impossible to impress Frank Miller without paying enough. "Sin City" has been well received. Although no one has been eyeing Frank Miller's other works yet, Matthew is very clear that it will not be long before other works. Film companies can react.

Compared to those mid-to-large studios, he and Zack Snyder have no advantage.

Getting Frank Miller as soon as possible is the way to go.

In a short period of time, Matthew could not find a more suitable sponsor than David Ellison.

After his first talk with Helen Herman and David Ellison, Zach Snyder also flew back from New York to meet David Ellison with Matthew with a preview clip. .

David Ellison has money in his hands, but he has been unable to open up the situation in Hollywood. Now some people are actively cooperating, and one of them is a popular star like Matthew. He is indeed a little moved.

In the days after the first meeting, David Ellison also asked his own people to check carefully, and it is not difficult to find that Matthew and Zach Snyder have been planning for a long time.

Just entering mid-April, David Ellison came to Matthew's office in person, determined to work with him and Zach Snyder.

"I can join you in your negotiations with Frank Miller to pay for the rights to the adaptation of The Three Hundred Spartans."

Sitting on the sofa chair in the office, David Ellison said directly to Matthew, "I can also be fully responsible for the production costs of the film!"

Matthew made David Ellison a cup of tea himself, put it on the coffee table next to him, and said, "I believe this will be a very successful collaboration."

"But I have one condition!" David Ellison stressed.

Matthew frowned slightly, a little worried, but still said, "Just say it, David."

"I need to add a remark clause to our agreement!" David Ellison looked at Matthew with a serious look and said very seriously, "You must be the hero of this film!"

Hearing this, Matthew relaxed.

David Ellison emphasized again, "This is the premise of our cooperation. Most of my confidence in this project comes from you. If you don't play Leonidas, I will never invest."

In his eyes, Zack Snyder, stylized graphics, Frank Miller's classic graphic novel adaptation, etc., are nowhere near the dazzling box office results of Matthew's past three films.

He is very rich. Even if his investment of tens of millions of dollars fails, he will not hurt his bones. Since he came to Hollywood to invest, he never thought about failure, and he also wanted to show his father with a successful case that he chose There is nothing wrong with this path.

Matthew Horner is undoubtedly a guarantee of success!

Since that night, he has specially studied the resume of Matthew Horner. This actor with a mediocre background and limited education is very discerning in the selection of films. Not only did not one of the films with the male lead fail, but every single one of them failed. The department is a big box office hit.

David Ellison has attended film school, or the USC Film School near Hollywood. Speaking of which, he is considered a half-professional. In addition, he is from a business family. explain.

"I will play Leonidas!" Matthew was completely relieved at this time, and vowed, "This can be added to our contract."

"Okay!" David Ellison laughed, "It's a deal!"

Of course, just relying on verbal commitments, neither side will be at ease, and the follow-up will definitely be placed on a formal contract.

Matthew thought for a while and then said, "David, I also have a condition."

David Ellison said directly, "Just say it."

"It's better to add a clause to our agreement." Matthew is no nonsense, "Zach Snyder must be the director of this adaptation."

"Are you very optimistic about Zach Snyder?" David Ellison was a little puzzled. "I remember that he has only directed the film "Dawn of the Living Dead" so far, right?"

"I know Zack Snyder." Matthew said honestly, "You've seen the preview clip. The concept and core of this project all originated from Zach. Except for him, I doubt that anyone can shoot the preview. Fragment style."

David Ellison pondered for a while and said, "Okay, I agree with that!"

Matthew stood up and stretched out his right hand, "It's my luck to be able to work with a happy investor like you!"

David Ellison also stood up and gave his right hand a firm squeeze. "Our cooperation will definitely succeed."

Later, Zach Schneider and Helen Herman also rushed to Matthew's office, and they got together to discuss a lot of details. The lawyer then joined in. According to the opinions reached by several people, it was formulated as soon as possible. protocol.

Two days later, David Ellison signed a formal agreement with Matthew and Zach Snyder.

The core content of this agreement is roughly that David Ellison's "Dance in the Sky" film company invested in the film adaptation rights of the illustrated novel "Three Hundred Spartans" and was responsible for the production of this film. investment etc.

In addition, the agreement expressly stipulates that the director of this project must be Zach Snyder, the male lead is Matthew, and most of the cast and crew of future films will be represented by Helen Herman and Angel Agency. 3% of the future revenue of "Three Hundred Warriors" will be taken as an intermediary and agent commission of the Angel Brokerage Company.

To be precise, with David Ellison's inexperience and lack of connections in Hollywood, Helen Herman and Angels will provide a simplified version of the one-stop package for the project.

Therefore, the Angel Agency will contact the distributor for this film in the future.

David Ellison's Skydance film company has money, but no distribution channels, and it is unlikely to be established in a short time.

There are hundreds of clauses involved in the details of the contract agreement, and it is never easy to sign an agreement with such an investment in the eight figures.

After reaching a cooperation agreement, Matthew, Zach Snyder, Helen Herman and David Ellison, together with external public relations experts, rushed to New York to start a tug-of-war with Frank Miller. .

Frank Miller was really moved by Zack Snyder's preview clips and production concept, and agreed in principle to authorize the film adaptation of "Three Hundred Spartans". The differences in the negotiations between the two sides mainly focused on licensing fees and after the film was released. of the above.

Matthew and Zach Snyder's original identities were very simple. They were only engaged in the work of actors and directors. They lacked sufficient understanding of the film copyright adaptation market. The initial $4 million copyright fee was placed two years ago by Frank M. Le's work was okay before the film adaptation, and now it's not enough for Frank Miller to stick his teeth.

Frank Miller negotiated a base licensing fee of $15 million plus a 10 percent share of the global box office.

This condition is too harsh.

But David Ellison didn't care. After the first contact and negotiation, he said that he would spend money on the copyright fee.

In his words, problems that can be solved with money are not problems at all.

Fortunately, he just said that although he was young and had some impulsive impulses from the children of the rich, he was not so stupid yet.

In the next three days, the two sides conducted three more rounds of negotiations, and the differences on the most core adaptation fee gradually narrowed. By the end of the third day of negotiations ~www.readwn.com~ finally reached an agreement on this key issue.

Sky Dance Production Company invested 9 million US dollars as the basic adaptation fee for "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors". After the film is released in the future, 5% of the North American box office will be used as a later share.

Once the biggest differences are resolved, the speed of the subsequent negotiations will be faster. For example, the producer of Frank Miller's future titled film will enjoy the producer's salary and other conditions, which are all within the acceptable range of both parties.

And David Ellison, who is the funder, doesn't care much about this kind of trivial expenses.

Seeing that the problem is not a big deal, Matthew is ready to leave New York and return to Los Angeles, because Michael Bay changed the script, which led to the delay of the Mercedes-Benz G-Series SUV commercial, which is about to start shooting in Disney Studios, as the only protagonist of the commercial except the car. , he couldn't possibly miss the shoot.

On the day he left New York, Skydance Studios had initialed a deal with Frank Miller, and a formal deal will be signed after the last few kinks are resolved.

As long as there are no unexpected situations such as world wars, the film rights of "Three Hundred Spartans" will be resolved smoothly.

After returning to Los Angeles, Matthew took a day off, and then arrived at a small studio at Disney Studios on time on the date notified by Mercedes-Benz.

The shooting of this commercial is divided into two parts: interior and exterior, each of which has a one-day shooting time. Before Michael Bay entered the film industry, he was the director of shooting commercials and MTV for many years, even after becoming a film director, occasionally He will also make cameo appearances in commercials for some big brands.

Matthew came to Disney Studios and met the man who was born when a comet hit the earth.
