Chapter 480: Money moves people's hearts

The salary was the last thing Kevin Feige wanted to mention in the initial contact, and now Matthew said it, but he couldn't avoid it.

Now that I have considered Nicolas Cage, I have made initial contact with Tom Cruise, and then I have found Matthew, Kevin Feige and his production team, and they have considered the issue of inviting big-name stars.

Although Marvel Entertainment's internal demand for saving money and reducing budget costs as much as possible, especially the cost of actors, has always been a strong voice, but Kevin Feige is very clear that as the first superhero movie of Marvel Entertainment, "Iron Man" ", is really important, a box office star like Matthew can undoubtedly greatly reduce the risk.

"In terms of salary, I can guarantee that it will not be lower than the figure you got in "Pirates of the Caribbean 2"." Kevin Feige glanced at Matthew and added, "We can discuss with your agent for details. ."

His psychological bottom line is $20 million, but he certainly can't say that now, and $20 million will have to convince the company's board of directors.

Matthew doesn't want to waste too much time on this project, he'll do it if he doesn't.

The only thing that can make him let go of his prejudice is a small amount of money.

Therefore, he stopped covering up and said, "Kevin, I don't want to waste your time, so I'll just talk about the salary."

Kevin Feige nodded.

Matthew Lion said loudly, "In terms of salary, I want a basic salary of $20 million..."

Kevin Feige's heart is sinking, of course he knows that this is Matthew's normal worth.

"There is still 20% of the global box office early share!" Ma Xiu said of course.

Without a salary of 20+20, can he go to the muddy waters of superhero movies?

"20+20?" Kevin Feige's heart sank to the bottom.

This condition is simply too much, let alone the board of directors of Marvel Entertainment, even he can't agree.

But Matthew's words were obviously not finished, and he continued, "I heard that Marvel's liquidity has been tight in recent years? I can inject $20 million into the film "Iron Man", and the $20 million in remuneration can also be converted. In terms of investment in the film, this $40 million must reduce your financial pressure."

He added, "I'm also going to be a producer."

Although the chance is not big, Matthew still intends to give it a try. What if he succeeds? With a $40 million investment income share, plus 20% of the global box office early share, he could laugh in his dreams.

In this case, the benefits are more than enough to offset the negative impact.

In fact, Matthew also wants to say that he will have the priority to invest in every superhero movie of Marvel in the future, but such conditions are too extreme, and it is impossible for Marvel Entertainment to agree.

Just investing in "Iron Man", there is still a little possibility.

Kevin Feige's heart fell directly into the ground, and suddenly found that today's conversation was completely dominated by Matthew Horner, from the beginning of rejection, to a little relaxed tone, to talking about the salary, and finally offering conditions , step by step, link by link...

This man is not ordinary greedy.

He sighed in his heart, why did Marvel Entertainment not reach an agreement with Tom Cruise, because Tom Cruise not only offered a super high salary, but also served as a film producer, just like the "Mission Impossible" series In the same way, control the overall direction of the film.

This is something that Marvel Entertainment cannot accept anyway.

Matthew sat still, knowing very clearly in his heart that the possibility was very small. At first, he really wanted to refuse, but when he thought of the huge profits of the Marvel superhero series of movies, it was inevitable that he would not be jealous, so he tried to see if he could share a cup. Soup, even if Marvel refuses, he has nothing to lose.

After all, he was going to reject it in the first place.

Having said that, there is no need for Kevin Feige to talk about it anymore. These conditions mentioned by Matthew are not something he can call the shots now.

Even if Marvel Entertainment is indeed tight on liquidity, the project is more of a gamble.

"I can't answer you right away," Kevin Feige said honestly, "I'll send your terms back to the company."

Raising funds from multiple parties will undoubtedly reduce the risk, but the company's board of directors can decide.

Matthew stood up, reached out and shook hands with Kevin Feige, and said goodbye without saying anything in this regard.

Kevin Feige watched Matthew walk out the door of the cafe and sat back again.

Rachel McAdams walked back quickly, looked over the door of the cafe, then sat across from Kevin Feige and asked, "How's it going?"

Kevin Feige shook his head, "Matthew wants $20 million plus 20% of the global box office."

Hearing such conditions, Rachel McAdams was not surprised, but said, "Matthew's box office appeal is very strong."

"It's more than that," Kevin Feige added. "He's also investing $40 million as a film producer."

"Forty million dollars?" Rachel McAdams was a little shocked. The extra who had trouble even eating back then could easily come up with forty million dollars!

Kevin Feige was also ready to leave, saying, "We'll talk when we have time."

Before leaving the coffee shop and walking out of the glass shop, Kevin Feige also glanced at Rachel McAdams. Matthew Horner's salary conditions were too harsh. It is estimated that the company would not agree. If Matthew can not be attracted - Horner, the hero, and Rachel McAdams, the heroine, are not necessary.

Maybe consider changing the heroine. Actresses like Gwyneth Paltrow are more famous and bring more resources.

On the other hand, Matthew has come to the Angel Agency.

"That's about it."

Sitting on the comfortable sofa, he roughly recounted the process of meeting Kevin Feige, "What do you think of the conditions I offered?"

Helen Herman stretched out his hand to hold the black-rimmed glasses, "Don't invest, it will only increase the risk of fearlessness."

Matthew nodded casually, just as a deaf ear, he knew that "Iron Man" was once a big sell, but Helen Herman didn't know.

"The condition of 20+20 is enough." Helen Herman said seriously, "As long as the global box office of "Iron Man" can reach the level of "Mrs. and Mrs. Smith", you can make a film of more than 100 million US dollars. , I told you about the negative effects of those superhero movies, you can put them aside."

Of course Matthew knew what $100 million meant and asked, "Will Marvel Entertainment say yes?"

Helen Herman said indifferently, "The chance is no more than five percent."

What was the salary of Robert Downey Jr.? Matthew has no relevant memory, but with Robert Downey Jr.'s current bad state, if Marvel Entertainment finds him, it is estimated that even $1 million will have to be carefully considered.

The figure of $100 million is very touching, not only Matthew, but also Helen Herman. She thought for a while in silence, and said, "I will try to get in touch with Marvel Entertainment and decide according to the situation."

Matthew glanced at her. More than a year ago, Helen Herman told him about the negative effects of superhero movies. Now that he thinks of the number of 100 million US dollars, he immediately throws that behind his head.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help scratching his head, wasn't Helen Herman always like this? He saw Qian opened his eyes, and Helen did the same, so two people who have similar smells can only cooperate for such a long time, and they have no plans to break up until now.

Having said that, apart from those top rich people, how many people are not interested in seeing 100 million US dollars? Not giving up some principles that are not particularly important?

"Okay." Matthew said casually, "If you can't talk about super high rewards, just give up."

When a star of his level negotiates with the commercial production crew, everything else is false, only the money reward is the most real.

The best way is to invest in Marvel superhero movies, but it is very difficult for a movie star to squeeze into the investment of big productions. Even if he is as strong as Tom Cruise, he can only invest in his own starring. The film, even so, has recently had a bad time with his longtime partner, Paramount Pictures.

Fortunately, Marvel has just started, let alone the big six, even the second- and third-tier film companies can’t compare.

Then wait and see if there is a chance.

Matthew went back to Horner Manor and asked someone to check it~www.readwn.com~Marvel Entertainment is not yet part of Walt Disney, and when it is added to the title of the Marvel superhero movie with the imprint of Disney Castle, it is estimated that Marvel will also There will be no shortage of funds.

A person's power is limited after all, even a big star like him is no exception.

He also wants to control Hollywood, turning his hands into clouds and turning his hands into rain, but in today's business society, Hollywood has long been divided up by many interest groups.

Move someone else's cake, the consequences can be imagined.

Not to mention the interest-oriented capital group, even if it is himself, if someone touches his interests, he will not let it go easily.

Hollywood is a business world after all.

Afterwards, Matthew temporarily put aside the matter of the hero of Iron Man and left it to Helen Herman to discuss completely. It doesn’t matter if the talk breaks down. The script for "Legend", in addition to researching and figuring out the characters, often went to the crew's offices at Warner Studios to communicate with director Guillermo del Toro.

According to the way of performance in the Hollywood independent film circle, in order to show the importance attached to such a one-man show, in order to show some people's in-depth research, facing such a role, Matthew should lock himself in a place alone, experience the kind of Deep loneliness and loneliness.

But Matthew didn't do that, and didn't want to do that. The indie film scene didn't suit him.

In his eyes, and in the eyes of director Guillermo del Toro, this is the male protagonist of a commercial movie. Rather than driving himself crazy, it is better to go to New York to see it on the spot.

Matthew is going to New York. The organizer of the US Open has sent an official invitation letter. In addition to attending the US Open dinner after the game, he will also serve as the presenter of the women's singles champion.
