Michael Fordrey was simply furious. He did not jump into thunder, yelled, and did not look gloomy. He just sat quietly behind his desk, but his entire face was so gloomy that it could drip out. He clenched the pen in his right hand and pressed hard. Use force until the knuckles of the fingers turn white, the powerful low air pressure is like a dark cloud pressing against the village, the restlessness and anxiety of the rain and the wind are hidden under the skin, naturally there is a frightening atmosphere. ｛Щww{suimеng][lā}

Neil H-Moritz is not at all flustered. Instead, he looks at Michael with great interest, and Van Diesel, who is panicked and on pins and needles. The kind of aggrieved, depressed, and humiliated makes Fan look like It was an angry bull, the green veins protruding from the neck and forehead seemed to be on the verge of bursting at any time.

Deep down, Neal was actually a little gloat. Everything today is foreseeable. He warned Michael, he warned Fan, and he warned other producers on the crew. He even tried to warn Long May. Yeah, but unfortunately, no one listened to his opinion.

Before rejecting "Thor" and starring in "Buried Alive", "Speed ​​and Excitement/Emotion 5", he devoted himself to "Love Is Crazy". These clues can be seen, Lan Li is not a typical Hollywood actor, not even a typical British actor. What's more, there are Andy Rogers who cannot be ignored and the innovative artist management company standing behind him——

Almost at the same time as the news broke out, the industry had the latest rumors of "killing reincarnation".

Ten million U.S. dollars and a 5% box office dividend. This is the contract for Renly to join the "Reincarnation of Killing". Such a level can be regarded as a first-line level, and it is basically the same when signing with Fan and Paul for "Speed ​​and Excitement/Emotion 4"; but the point is that this is only the first time that Lan Li starred in a commercial film, from art works to The turn of commercial movies, this leap is simply appalling.

A horizontal comparison can be made. Chris Evans is 300,000 in "Captain America", Gal Gadot is 300,000 in "Wonder Woman", and Chris Hemsworth is in "Thor". It is 150,000; even if these special cases are not mentioned, if only Robert Downey Jr. starred in the "Iron Man" series, the first part is 500,000, the second is 10 million, and the third part only includes the box office. Only after dividends did it rise to 40 million.

Objectively speaking, for the current Lan Li, starring in the sequel of "Speed ​​and Excitement/Emotion", thanks to the great success of the fifth installment, Andy requires seven million or eight million, which is a reasonable category; But starred in the "Reincarnation of Killing", and this is the first time that he has been alone, with 8 million US dollars and no dividends. This should be the most normal contract condition.

But now, Warner Bros. has swiped a big pen and directly awarded a box office dividend of 10 million plus 5%, which is comparable to Robert Downey Jr. of "Iron Man 2". Even if Warner Bros. is wealthy, this is incredible.

This rumor has raised many questions. In the past, it always took countless efforts to inquire about the internal remuneration news, but this time it was easily leaked. Many people believed that this was deliberately released by the creative artist brokerage company, in order to fight for more in the negotiation later. Many benefits.

But then Warner Bros. confirmed it and revealed more insider information about the cooperation, which left the industry astonished.

So far, "Rebirth of Killing" has no producer in charge of the overall situation-at least no producer in charge of the budget and strategy. Tim Lewis is in charge of the film production part. Therefore, in this cooperation, the intermediate link of the producer was skipped, Andy and Jeff started a direct dialogue, but the negotiation became straightforward.

On the one hand, Universal Pictures’ internal rumors became Andy’s biggest bargaining chip in the negotiation process. Eight million US dollars appeared in a rumor and two sequels. This is undoubtedly an important certification of Blue Gift’s box office appeal; leaving aside "speed" Not to mention the box office successes of “Yu Ji/Qing 5” and “Love Crazy”, “Buried Alive” has achieved nearly twelve times the profit of its own investment cost under the circumstances that it is not favored. This is also not to be ignored.

On the other hand, Jeff treats Lan Li differently and is full of praise. Not only as an actor, but also as a screenwriter and producer, Lan Li has shown a keen sense of work. Jeff held a separate meeting with Renly and Tim. After the three parties negotiated and discussed, Jeff decided to give Renly the title of "Executive Producer" and let Renly participate in the production of "Rebirth of Killing."

Two-pronged approach, this has achieved the current situation.

It's not just a 10 million remuneration, not only a 5% box office dividend, but also an executive producer. Everyone knows that Warner Bros. is bold, daring to reuse Christopher Nolan, daring to promote Gerard-Butler, daring to use lfgang-Petersen, daring to believe-Knight- Shamaran (-Night-), dared to throw money crazily and dared to bear failure, but this time the "rebirth of killing" still stunned people.

You know, Lan Li has only been in Hollywood for two years; you know, "Reincarnation of Killing" is only the seventh work of Lan Li, including two unreleased works and one of the TV series; you know, this is only Lan Li's first work. The important task of a monoclonal antibody commercial film. Just the position of the starring role, the risk is not small, and now it is actually necessary to add an executive producer?

So courageous, so gamble, so strong, Warner Bros. once again demonstrated the absolute demeanor of Hollywood hegemony after the millennium.

In comparison, Universal Pictures' dwindling, humming, and gossip, not only looks small, but also lacks a bit of foresight, and completely loses the demeanor of the six major Hollywood studios.

Rumors say that Universal Pictures is actually unwilling to pay even the six million salary. Rumors say that Fan and Lanli are tit-for-tat and incompatible. Rumors say that the infighting of the crew has reached the point where it is impossible to deal with, even good old people like Paul. There was never a contract; rumors said that Michael was ambitious, but he did not have the ability to support him, and he was frustrated; rumors said that the crew had a bad attitude, and the contract renewal work with Lan Li was deadlocked from the beginning...

Compare Universal Pictures and Warner Bros., compare "speed and excitement/emotion" and "killing reincarnation".

After these rumors came out, Michael and Fan were immediately grilled on the fire.

First, they failed to complete the contract renewal with Lan Li, and the previous negotiations became a stepping stone, achieving the title of Executive Producer of Lan Li; second, they failed to actively "get rid of" Lan Li in preparation for the sequel. Taking the lead, not only has become the target of being used, but also reduced to a laughing stock; again, it is now clear that it is not the "speed and excitement/emotion" sequel that rejects Lan Li, but Lan Li refuses to cooperate in the sequel. Then, what should they do now? do?

In the eyes of Michael and Fan, these rumors are so easy to inquire, not because of the negotiation of the "rebirth of killings", but to humiliate them.

With a "pop", the pen in Michael's hand finally couldn't bear the pressure anymore, and it broke into two pieces. The ink inside was soaked all over the hand, and the sharp fragments also stabbed the palm of his hand. It was bloody. The picture looked like It was really shocking, but Michael seemed to have nothing happened. He shook his hand gently, took out a few tissues, and wiped away the stains.

"Michael." Fan called out, hesitating for a moment, "What should we do now?"

"Huh. Isn't this the result you expected?" Michael pushed Fan into the abyss with a single sentence, "Didn't you say at the beginning, Lan Li stayed, and you quit? Now, Lan Li has left, you can stay. Now. Isn’t this just what you want? It’s up to you to tell me what the **** should be done? If Paul leaves our series again, what do you think will happen?"

Fan choked for a while and looked at Michael dumbfounded. Michael supported all his actions at the beginning. The two were united front comrades, didn't they? Why is Michael now pushing all his faults on him? It seems that he planned it all by himself? This is not fair!

Yes, he really doesn't like Renly to continue joining. But in fact, he just doesn't like Lan Li's seizure of the class. If Lan Li can agree to stay with a suitable remuneration, it will be helpful for the sequel and can get a good box office again. Why would he disagree? Because the ultimate winner is him, he is the only one among the cast members who has the right to dividends at the box office!

More importantly, what he hopes is that the crew will kick Lan Li out, not that Lan Li voluntarily chooses to leave, making the crew a joke!

He didn't want to see the current situation. How can Michael!

But Michael ignored Fan's astonishment and shock, and looked directly at Neil, "You said, what should we do now?" After a circle, Neil was the one who cleaned up the mess in the end.

Although he was murmuring in his heart, Neil was calm on the surface. Regarding the departure of Lan Li, he felt embarrassed and regretful that they could have avoided such a dilemma; but it was done~lightnovelpub.net~ He quickly accepted the facts and planned for the next one. Just like last year's Dawn Johnson, this year's blue gift is also not an indispensable factor.

"First of all, we need to whitewash peace." Neil Chengzhu said with a deep heart. "No matter what the media asks, we must stick to Renly's statement. Everything is in peace, everything is just a peaceful breakup. There is no contradiction between us. , We will bless Lan Li to achieve good results, just as Lan Li blessed us."

While speaking, Neil's eyes fell on Fan. ..

Fan only felt that his chest was stuffy for a while, and his mouth was so bitter that he couldn't speak, but he knew that if he broke any inappropriate remarks at this time, the responsibility for the internal strife of the crew would fall on his shoulders. This is for the sequel. As far as preparations are concerned, it is an unbearable loss of reputation, especially at such a sensitive threshold, they cannot afford more negative news.

Knowing that Gui knows, but the rampant anger almost tears him to pieces. Even if he left, Lan Li could still embarrass him easily. Damn it!

"Secondly, we need to respond immediately. Paul, that is our top priority." Neal's eyes were still locked on Fan, Fan's chest was stagnant, and he was about to vomit blood.
