Chapter 627 The Sweetness of the Great Beauty
This is only part of as many as 52 performance contracts and additional terms, such as remuneration and insurance. However, in general, for Chen Jin, the ultimate boss of the super giant, there is no big problem with such a performance contract. In another time and space, he also saw that it was more than this. There are many superstar performance contracts.
Of course, the authority of Article 4 is a big bomb, which also directly threatens and affects James Cameron. Think about it, for a strong one like James Cameron, it is difficult to accept that. Also, the work and rest clause of Article 11 is not for any other movie. The question is, but James Cameron is a strong habit. How can he make the playboy stop when shooting? When he wants to catch the play, what if the playboy loses his temper? So, what if the playboy uses the fourth clause?
Playboy can think that what William Campbell cares about must be the details of the remuneration, while James Cameron will let him make some decisions directly when he sees Articles 4 and 11. This is a big pit. Playboy has dug it up and is waiting for someone to jump in!
He was very satisfied with Dennis Zhang's work efficiency, and he was more satisfied with Dennis Zhang's sophistication. He mastered it very well. He patted Catherine Zeta Jones's beautiful face and smiled, but the beauty felt that this guy had a bad smile. That was the expression when he was going to make it bad. Now she knows this guy quite well. "This is what I planned here. As for the end, we naturally need everyone to sit down and talk about it."
Catherine Zeta Jones snorted and didn't care who this bastard was going to cheat. She touched her stomach. "Go, I'm hungry. Make me a delicious meal. Next time I see you, I'll give you some sweets!" The playboy put his hands into her trousers and couldn't put them down. He laughed, "Little boy, can you advance that sweetness a little bit? I'm hungry too!"
"Don't fool around, or I will definitely ignore you next time." Catherine Zeta Jones rubbed his delicate body softly, and there seemed to be some wet marks in front of the white trousers. Her voice trembled and she was coquettish. When she saw that it didn't work, she could only act coquettishly: "Honey, I'm really hungry and my stomach hurts!"
"Then I'll rub it for you first. You know I'm very good at killing chicken!" The playboy slid one hand to her smooth lower abdomen and rubbed it pretendly, but slid down the next moment. She gently slid a few times in the place where the wet marks had been printed. Catherine Zeta Jones bit her lips and couldn't help moaning. The wet marks expanded a little, and she remembered the shameful scene when the horse killed the chicken. There was a seductive blush on his face and he scolded, "Rea scoundrel, I have to start work today!"
The playboy bowed his head and said nothing, and gently bit the little bean on her chest through her clothes again. Catherine Zeta Jones could no longer think, and in a daze, she guided him to grab the bad thing in her trousers.
"I will never see you again!" Before she finished this sentence, Catherine Zeta Jones picked up her body for the playboy. When she put it down, the high-spirited ferociousness had slipped into the deepest part of her body, swaying, playing the most touching movement.
The entertainers knew early that the playboy lived in the apartment of the great beauty with Catherine Zeta Jones, but she stayed for a day and a night. It was said that the great beauty had to rush to start work the next morning, but it was almost noon, and the great beauty slowly left the apartment. Then, under the cover of the two bodyguards, without being interviewed by any reporters, he went directly to the more heavily defended shooting site. As for the playboy, he didn't come out all afternoon.
The playboy thief is famous. When it was getting dark, most of them estimated that the playboy had slipped away for a long time, so they had no choice but to retreat. At this time, the playboy paced out and gave Ke Fan, the only bitch in the distance who had been guarding him, a middle finger, and drove to go with William Campbell. The agreed place.
This is a cafe in Beverly Hills, and it is also a place where celebrities often go in and out. The playboy drove a Cadillac made by Dennis and quietly entered the underground parking lot to avoid all the reporters. Originally, the contracts of the stars could not be negotiated by the stars in person. That's the rule. Playboy arrived. I don't care about this.
From morning to night, William Campbell was also anxious. When he saw Playboy, he patted him on the shoulder vigorously. James Cameron was not there. Obviously, they didn't reach a consensus. "KING, you really enjoy it. If you're not busy, you're not afraid of Miss Catherine scolding the director. Is it?"
The playboy's face was full of bright smiles. The biggest reason was that he didn't see James Cameron and said, "Dear William, there's nothing I can do. I'm not you. I have to be careful every time I come out."
As long as you see someone, it's okay. This is William Campbell's current idea. He didn't be polite to the playboy. He took him to sit down and went straight to the topic. "Thank you, brother, for waiting for me for more than half a year. I still say that. I promise to satisfy you."
Playboy deliberately looked embarrassed, "Well, why isn't Mr. James Cameron here?" William Campbell was a little embarrassed, but waved his hand carelessly, "Don't worry about him. His nature can't talk to you. Don't worry, after we have a good deal, we promise that he will execute according to the contract."
The playboy nodded and looked righteous. "Okay," and then handed over the contract in his hand. "I think we'd better look at me, so as not to bother!"
It's normal for a star to draw up a contract with the agent and negotiate with the producer. Although William Campbell also prepared a copy, he readily agreed and took it over, "Then I'll take a look first. If you haven't had dinner, you can order first."
After a while, William Campbell frowned. Obviously, he saw the piece of the film, but he didn't make a sound. He continued to watch it. Naturally, the playboy ignored it. He really didn't eat. He called the waiter and ordered a big table. When William Campbell was about to finish watching it, he began to feast.
About half an hour, in fact, William Campbell had already finished watching it, but he was waiting for the playboy to eat, and by the way, he also thought about what to say. When the playboy wiped his mouth, took a sip of juice and looked up, he said, "KING, you can play, I'm very affectionate, but you also know Titanic has cost a lot, and you know more about the various expenses of a movie. Of course, I also admit that your request is not too much, but in the current situation, I hope you can make some concessions in terms of remuneration.
This guy really just focused on the remuneration. The playboy smiled and quietly replied, "If I guarantee that the box office is more than 800 million, even if there is no 800 million, I don't want a penny."
William Campbell was stunned, his mind turned, and finally smiled bitterly, "We all know this industry very thoroughly, and it is because of this that I think you understand that even if it is 800 million, we seem to be able to recover the cost."
The playboy smiled and said, "William, this is my greatest sincerity. At the very least, I seem to have given you a guarantee that you don't have to lose money. Isn't this enough to make you think this is the best condition?"
Every word of Playboy hits William Campbell's weakness, and it seems to be really sincere. Think about it, Playboy said that it will be guaranteed 800 million box office. Then, the biggest risk of Fox in the 20th century, that is, the risk of losing money, is gone. Even if not, then, Playboy plays, liu700 million. There is no problem. In this way, the playboy doesn't want a dime. At that time, Fox in the 20th century can still get rid of the biggest risk - loss, and the rest is how much profit.
Business behavior, when you can get rid of the biggest risk, that is, when you lose money, no matter how big the profit is expected, it is a matter of making a lot of money. It's just a matter of earning more and earning less, so what else are you not satisfied with?
Do you still want others to make money for you? That's a little too much!
William Campbell is a shameless guy sometimes. He looked at the playboy with a smile and said, "KING, seriously, I appreciate you for all this, but the company has invested so much that it always wants to make a profit."
He doesn't doubt Playboy's ability and sincerity at all. The condition is sincerity. As for his ability, take a look at the box office of "Empire of Tomorrow". There is a total of helion at the global box office of helion. Playboy still seems to have no limit and has been rushing up. Now many people are saying that his next film, maybe It will break the shackles of the billion-dollar box office.
"Well, how about you make some more concessions?" William Campbell's old face had risked anyway and began to bargain. "Why don't you pay 35 million US dollars plus 15% of the total box office profit dividend?"
"35 million for the time being," the playboy looked at William Campbell mockingly, with the corners of his mouth slightly upturned. "Thirteen percent of the share, dear William, am I not as good as Tom Cruise? Do you think I still have the face of hanging out in this circle after I agree?"
The film salary is another manifestation of the big and small. By the way, Tom Cruise is 20%, and it is absolutely impossible for the playboy to accept 15%. William Campbell smiled helplessly, but his conditions were not vague at all. "Well, if you promise a billion dollars at the box office, I will promise you. The conditions are good."
"Thank you for your confidence in me, but your words sound like you are cheating me," the playboy was obviously cheating William Campbell, but he hit this guy without mercy. "Dear William, the reason why I have an estimate of 800 million dollars is because of my confidence in my own script, and of course, my popularity. However, I'm still not sure, but since I promised you that you, you know that I'm not an easy promise, then I can take some risks. Even if I don't get the last penny, I can accept it," he shrugged and said confidently, "Actually, you know that I don't care about the money, but the terms of the contract But it is the bottom limit that we must have in this industry, and we can't destroy it casually.
