"Thank you, Mr. As, for giving Gosling this opportunity." His agent took the opportunity to express his gratitude.
"It's okay. I didn't participate in the casting of this play much. If you want to thank Yeremov, he did help Gosling a lot." Song Ya nodded and said goodbye to them.
The agent watched Song Ya leave, "He didn't do anything to you just now or imply anything?" He asked Gosling.
"Hint? No, he doesn't care about me at all. He is asking about Justin Timberlake." Gosling forced a smile. "It's always been like this. I'm used to it."
The agent was relieved, "Oh, that's good."
"What is good?" Gosling asked.
"It's nothing, there are rumors in Hollywood that he is chasing Little Plum..." the agent said: "You will be careful in the future, try not to stay alone with him."
Song Ya would probably be wronged if he heard the whispers of the two, but he didn't care about it for the time being, because Linton, the president of Hollywood Pictures, called.
"I just received an offer from David Fincher's agent, five plus five." Linton said loudly.
"Five million remuneration plus 5% box office share?" Song Ya understood, "What do you think? Is it the final offer? Or is there room for a counter-offer?"
"Today is the deadline. This is considered the final offer. We can't delay with them, otherwise the project will be delayed." Linton said: "The funds for my side are almost all collected."
"Then are you willing to accept this offer?" Song Ya asked.
"Unacceptable, he is not worth the money. The production cost of Alien 3 is 50 million, and the global box office is over 100 million. This result is very average. I heard that he is not satisfied."
Linton said: "Moreover, the share he wants is 5% of the split between us and the theater. The cost of publicizing copies is not included. This ratio is too high."
"I understand……"
There are several kinds of movie box office components. In the first part of my life, a+ records are calculated in proportion to the production company after a series of expenses such as publicity and copying are removed after the distributor and the theater are separated. It's a disadvantage, but production companies generally implement this method of splitting accounts.
Hollywood directors and first-line actors, or the kind of actors that the sequel producers have to use, can get David Fincher's share of costs that do not count publicity and other costs. It is only possible, depending on them and the movie. The situation of the company's game. There is another kind of cooler, which is directly divided according to the total box office of Beimi or the world. No matter how your issuer divides it with the theater, how much the cost of publicity is spent, I will get my share first. Jack Nicholson used to Get this kind of contract.
Of course, there are the coolest and the worst. There are also some external investors who buy investment products packaged for specific films or films by production companies or distribution companies. Those who have to wait for the producer to scrape the rest. It’s their turn, a profitable movie can easily make a loss and make them lose money unless they find an insurance company to hedge the risk.
Linton used to only engage in projects with an investment scale of less than 5 million yuan. A director wants to take off his previous investment limit for a film and also wants to divide a high share. How can there be such a good thing, "As, I want to direct him No, do you agree?"
"Then do you have a candidate?" Song Ya asked, "Do you still have to delay discussing time with others?"
"Of course there are, many, I'll get back to you right away." Linton hung up.
When he wanted to call back again, he found that Song Ya had already reached the door of Hollywood Pictures' own office, "I have a personal choice, Redliscott."
"mine……"
Song Ya is still matching names with memories in his head. Hayden has already exclaimed, "He has messed up many projects, and he is famously difficult to cooperate."
"Only him, he can be the fastest and the cheapest. No other person is better than him."
Linton said: "He has shot a lot of classics, aliens, blade runners, and crazy flowers..."
"But he also ruined a lot of projects. His last directorship was in 1992? Columbus Biography, 47 million in investment, 7 million in North Rice box office, and just over 10 million in global box office? Others are embarrassed directly. In this business!"
Hayden said anxiously.
"How he used to say he was also a first-line director. In the 1980s, he also received tens of millions of directors' top film salaries. There is no doubt about his ability. Alien has led the era of a genre film. Blade Runner has a poor box office. , But now it is recognized as a classic in film history, and the end of the game is acclaimed and popular. He just has a lot of ideas for filming, and his thinking is a bit forward..." Linton said: "David Fincher's Alien 3 is not his first It’s a good shot, and it only benefits from technological progress."
"He is not thinking ahead, but always wants to express his ideas, philosophy, about the future, about the human epic in the era of science fiction, the evolution of the political system, and the new interpersonal relationship in the film. He is always the final editing of the film company. Quan utterly spoken out, and a few days ago he jumped out and said that Blade Runner's new director's cut version was not made by him, which embarrassed the publisher. This kind of director will give us a headache!"
Hayden argued for reasons, "And he has left the industry after Columbus's biography! It has been almost three years since he made a movie."
Song Ya has seen several classic films of Redliscott, which are not bad. He personally likes the end of the game. As for his street-smashing works, he has never watched that kind of film.
And it seems that you mentioned him when chatting with an acquaintance?
"There is a reason why Columbus rumored to lose at the box office. It was a co-production of Britain, France, Spain, and the United States. I wanted to make a magnificent and epic film, and there was money from French and Spanish public institutions in it. The director played Space is limited. The plot that deliberately taps the protagonist Columbus’s greed and tyrannical side of the indigenous people cannot please European and American audiences, but this is the political task of European countries to express their reflections and the box office is not their focus..."
Linton retorted: "We can seal his mouth with the contract for nonsense. Trust me, I am the most professional."
"Wait, I'll make a call..."
Song Ya remembered that when he talked to Barenboi, the music director of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, he mentioned Redliscourt, and they seemed to have a good relationship.
"Mr. Barenboi, I want to ask you this man Redliscott..."
After a long phone call, he felt a little clear. The good relationship between Redliscott and Barenboi is because the two political positions are getting closer. They are not just verbal or show-only. Most of them are very few who really want to use art to transcend the barriers of race, ethnicity, civilization, and religion and practice them.
For example, Barenboi himself, as a Jewish descent, insisted on engaging in concert projects with musicians from Ballastin even when the Middle East war was in full swing. For this reason, he received great criticism and pressure from the outside world. Still go its own way.
Redliscott and him are the same kind of people, so the two appreciate each other and they can talk very well.
"Such people are reliable as long as they are not involved in grand issues such as human beings and civilizations, right? For example, aliens, such as mad flowers at the end."
Song Ya didn't bother to care about whether their thoughts were naive or noble. At least the director of Radliscott was recognized by the world. Now he is unlucky because of the big production. It is so cheap and cost-effective...
"You can't hold that kind of person by pressing his mouth, and the alien has the same thinking as in the end of the wild flower." Hayden said.
