173 - South African diamonds

Compared to the profits that Warner Bros. expected to earn on "The Joker", they paid the director not much, but this is just Jimmy's personal opinion.

Now this film is basically out of stock in North America, with a box office of more than $330 million alone. Many overseas regions are still being screened, but it has also achieved a box office of more than $500 million.

The box office revenue of this overseas part has nothing to do with Wayne. Just counting the upcoming revenue at the North American box office, it will be more than 30 million US dollars. Including the basic salary completed by Warner Bros. in three payments, the total salary is as high as more than 40 million, which is already a number that is difficult for top Hollywood directors to get.

The director who can guarantee that he will surpass Wayne in terms of pay and income this year is the only good-looking man Spielberg. Although the outside world does not know the specific number of the number, based on the information revealed, this number will not be less than hundreds of millions of dollars.

In the eyes of capital, every cent can be saved as much as possible, let alone the tens of millions of dollars that are about to be paid.

However, in one big direction, Jimmy and Warner Bros. That is Wayne's basic pay issue. Jimmy means that his customers are willing to get less basic pay, as long as they are treated the same as the previous video.

This proposal is also in the interests of Warner Bros. This way more funds can be used to produce the video, thereby ensuring the quality of the video.

The main difference between the two sides was in the later division. Warner Bros. was very serious about this aspect when facing the lesson of paying tens of millions of dollars. They agreed to share Wayne's later division, but this ratio must be less than 15%.

However, Jimmy, who was crazy, called out a sky-high price of 25%. The agent's reasons are very good. Wayne has already made concessions in the basic pay, so it must be reflected in the later sharing.

Moreover, the status and value of my customers in the circle are definitely worth this share.

Finally, after both sides tested it once, the first negotiation was ended.

"Their bottom line this time seems to be fifteen percent!" Every time this time comes, Jimmy will be extremely excited. "I'm sure that this ratio is more than twenty percent, if they don't give..."

"Whatever you want, Jimmy." The agent reported the negotiation progress to him, but did not distract Wayne from looking up. He was always focusing on revising the concept map in his hand. "Don't be too anxious. This time our film will not be able to compete for the summer season, and the production time is very abundant."

His agent can be said to be a highly professional negotiating expert. As long as he doesn't tear the table, Wayne will do whatever he wants to make Warner Brothers uncomfortable. This is fighting for his own benefit.

With an agent who opens his mouth and is extremely excited every time he talks about the treatment of directors, he can avoid unnecessary conflicts with Warner Bros. due to these sensitive issues. This is a very good buffer zone.

"Actually, I'm going to open a price of 20+20, Wayne." The agent shook his head a little regretfully. "But the production cost you made for this film is too low, and you can only compress the basic pay."

The basic pay bonus ratio of 20+20 is definitely not a few people in Hollywood. Even in the whole of Hollywood, there are definitely few people who can count it with one hand among celebrities, and there may be even fewer among directors.

With Wayne's current value, he can only shout out. How much he can talk about in the end depends on the attitude of the production company. However, Jimmy believes that with the importance of his customers to Warner Bros., they will definitely do their best to satisfy themselves.

"Okay, is there anything else?" Wayne put down the drawing board in his hand, looked at the Batmobile he designed on it, and nodded with satisfaction.

The agent said curiously: "You want to go out?"

"A little date, you can do it."

He took off the simple concept map he had drawn, put it in the file box, and prepared to change his clothes and go out. George Lucas asked him to play golf, and it is said that Spielberg would come too.

Not long after, a red Ford drove into the manor. The girl who got off was very tall. Her simple jeans and white T-shirt outlined her youthful and beautiful figure.

Before the girl could enter the living room, she got into the car with Wayne who was waiting. Sergei lowered the front and rear isolation boards and drove the car out of the manor to the golf course.

"I'm over 18 years old, thank you for giving me the chance." After getting in the car, Charlize Theron took the initiative to hold his arm and lay on his shoulder and said.

Wayne smiled. "You're welcome, these are what you deserve. The movie will take at least ten months to prepare. Don't stop acting classes during this period. This is very important to you."

This girl who had been sleeping with him in a daze has never contacted her since the other party signed a confidentiality agreement last time. However, one thing her agent did is that she found a good short-term performance training class.

Thinking of her and leaving her a role, this was just a normal fair exchange for Wayne. Charlize Theron made some efforts and did his best to keep his words in the past. He was willing to keep his promises and reward him.

After getting into the car, the girl kept observing Wayne's face until she was sure that the other party was in a very good mood, she carefully put her head close to the other party's ear and said softly:

"Dear, I can't go back tonight, or you can train my acting skills!"

After saying that, he gently stuck out his tongue and licked the man's ear.

Wayne's smile on his face became even brighter. He reached out to put his hand around the South African Meijiu's waist and felt this young and delicate body. "You must believe that the director in front of you has a very outstanding ability to train the actors' acting skills!"

This South African diamond is very clear. Compared with other bigwigs in Hollywood, this man has a very good reputation in this regard. According to the information found by her agent, as long as a woman who has made some efforts to him, the final result will be great.

And the very important evidence is that these women have been interviewed by various newspapers. No matter whether they are taking advantage of the popularity or not, no woman says he is not good.

Of course, Wayne understood the girl's thoughts and happily accepted such enthusiasm. He had no psychological barriers to these things. He was a very principled person, and he had his efforts and rewards, which seemed very fair in his opinion.

Compared to some people who are very unprincipled, Wayne feels that he is a typical good man. I have to thank him for the fat man Harvey Weinstein, who not only does not follow principles, but also uses strong people directly.

But is this only Jewish fat man like this? Surely not. He is just a typical example at most. Other producers and directors have more or less these things. After all, rumors about the red sofa have always been there.

This is definitely not a hidden rule in Hollywood, because the matter is on the surface. Because these things are so bad later, Harvey Weinstein is the only one who has been exposed, but he is the one who is really famous.

Because those actresses who get benefits from such things must never mention what happened.

If we talk about the biggest person who was exposed because of this kind of mess, it was definitely not Harvey Weinstein, but Kevin Tessulhara, an executive of Warner Bros. This big man dared to make a promise even to the role of Wonder Woman.

“Boss, here!”

Sergey tapped the isolation board lightly before opening it and saying to the back.

It was the place he and George Lucas last time, but this time the father of Star Wars arrived first and was talking about something under the parasol.

Wayne took Charlize Theron to the front and hugged the two old men. In the disappointed eyes of the girl, she did not introduce them.

"Steven, I was pushed down by your "Jurassic Park" before I could even sit in the hot spot!" He smiled and shook his head, and began to greet this good old man.

"Do you know? Wayne!" He took out the water from the ice bucket and handed it to him. Steven Spielberg said: "At the beginning, the box office of "The Joker" really scared me. When I premiered, I knew that the box office of this film was not bad, but I didn't expect it to be so high in a short time. I was also surprised that "Jurassic Park" could surpass it!"

No matter what the old man said, he was very comfortable with his words. Although the North American box office of "The Joker" was surpassed by the other party, the global box office was still in the leading position. It is probably difficult for Jurassic Park to surpass him.

"Let's go, we can start!" Seeing that everyone was here, George Lucas packed up the clubs.

"No, I'd better chat with you. This kind of exercise is not suitable for me!" Wayne doesn't like this kind of exercise, and never thought about learning it. When he comes here, he mainly talks about things.

The two old men didn't force it. Seeing that he didn't like playing basketball, Steven Spielberg walked with him and told him about his purpose of coming. "The premiere of "Schindler's List" is a big event for our own people. No matter what, this film has finally been produced! I will notify you at that time and arrange your time in advance."

He didn't need to say this, and Wayne wouldn't miss it. Since he took advantage of this bloodline, he should make some efforts. This old man simply hopes that the greater the momentum of the film, the better.

"Steven, I will be here no matter how busy I am!" He nodded with a serious expression.

Obviously, the old man had some other purpose, and George Lucas deliberately stayed far away from them, leaving them enough room for conversation.

Charlize Theron also had a very wink and took the initiative to fall behind. After walking forward for a while, Steven Spielberg said casually:

"I heard that your accountants and lawyers are talking to Warner Bros. about the investment?"

"Yes, this is a good opportunity, isn't it?"

This is not a secret, and anyone who is interested can find out that Warner Bros. is not surprising in order to tie him up as a director. Many production companies have had similar experiences.
