Hollywood Director 1992
#250 - Daily life on the island
"Link, Warner Bros. means that it depends on your schedule. You can film the movie projects you have on hand first, and then film the 'Batman' sequel. Whenever you have time, that's when we'll film it. Also, regarding the salary, you can make any requests you have," Sam Haskell said.
"Yes, Director Link, as long as you agree to cooperate, any requests can be discussed. We are very sincere," Richard Fox said.
Link nodded, munching on pineapple, and said, "Thank you for your company's invitation. I'm a fan of Batman, and I'm honored to direct this movie. However, as an independent filmmaker, I care more about creative autonomy.
If I direct the 'Batman' sequel, how this movie is filmed must be up to me, including the production, script, casting, film editing, etc. All of it will be my responsibility, and Warner Bros. cannot interfere with the specific work.
Regarding the salary, the base salary of 10 million remains unchanged. If the North American box office is less than 100 million, I don't want a share. If the North American box office exceeds 100 million US dollars, I want 5% of the global box office share, exceeding 200 million, I want 10%, 300 million, 15%, and for every additional 100 million in North American box office, the box office share increases by 5%."
"This..."
Richard Fox frowned. Of the requirements Link made, there were three points he couldn't decide on.
The first is the film production work. 'Batman' is a Warner Bros. Pictures film, and the production work must be the responsibility of the company to determine the direction of the film.
The second is the film editing rights. This is where many directors and film companies often disagree when cooperating. Directors have their own ideas and understandings of the film during shooting, leaning towards personal preferences; production companies edit the shots based on market and audience preferences, paying more attention to commerciality.
In Hollywood, top directors have final editing rights. Link is also a top director, but he and Warner Bros. Pictures were not originally on good terms. It would be difficult for the company to feel at ease completely handing over a film with a production cost of hundreds of millions to him.
The third is the salary. Link's proposal of not wanting a share if it's less than 100 million US dollars shows that he is confident in making this film well, and Richard Fox is very happy that Link has such confidence.
However, asking for 10% of the global box office if the North American box office is higher than 200 million is too much. If this film exceeds 200 million at the North American box office and reaches 400 million at the global box office after its release, Link's profit on this film will reach 50 million US dollars, which is too high a price.
Richard Fox alone cannot decide whether to agree to it. He needs to discuss it with the company.
"Don't rush, let's eat first."
Richard Fox's hesitation was also within Link's expectations.
The requirements he made were meant to be bargained down.
If Richard Fox agreed to it in one go, without even countering the price, he would instead suspect whether he was asking for too little, or whether Warner Bros. had some conspiracy in inviting him to be the director.
Seeing Richard Fox in a dilemma, Link's mood also became cheerful.
After finishing the meal, Link asked the butler to take the two of them for a walk on the beach to see the scenery, and then have a big meal in the main building in the afternoon.
When he returned to the middle villa, Sandra Bullock and the others had also washed off the sand from their bodies and changed into clean and comfortable dresses to rest at home. Some were watching TV, some were reading magazines, and some were preparing to take a nap.
Although the four of them would work together to deal with him when playing ball, the four of them were more independent in private, doing their own things, living in their own rooms, and not as close as they seemed on the surface.
Link understood the situation and would not interfere too much. What he needed was the beautiful and sexy side of the women, not to watch them act out 'Empresses in the Palace'.
"Link, who are the guests who came today?"
Seeing him come in, Sandra Bullock put down the magazine and looked up at him.
"Warner Bros. Pictures Vice President, Mr. Richard Fox."
Link leaned back on the soft sofa, putting his arm around Sandra's waist.
This woman is not only beautiful, but also has a great figure. She is 171 cm tall and participated in beauty contests when she was a teenager. Originally, her figure was curvy, but these characteristics became more prominent when she reached her thirties, not inferior to Kim Kardashian, and very luscious.
"Richard Fox? I know him. What does he want from you?"
Julianne Moore lay on the sofa with a face mask on, occasionally raising and lowering her thighs to relax her muscles and prevent her thighs from becoming thicker after exercise.
She was older than the others and usually paid more attention to taking care of her body, and she was also very luscious.
"Looking for me to make a movie."
"Warner Bros. is looking for you to make a movie? I remember you guys are competitors."
Sandra Bullock adjusted her posture and leaned in his arms, making it easier for him to reach in.
"We're just competitors, not enemies. If cooperation is beneficial to both parties, why not cooperate? However, we are still in negotiations, and whether we will reach a cooperation in the end depends on the sincerity of Warner Bros. Pictures."
Link massaged the most comfortable part of her body.
"Honey, you're really amazing. You defeated the seven major film companies alone during the summer season, and now Warner Bros. is taking the initiative to come to you for cooperation, which is equivalent to admitting defeat to you. In my heart, you are the most amazing man in the world."
Renée Zellweger walked over with a plate of fruit salad and put a strawberry on his mouth with a fork.
"Thank you, you are also my sweetest girl."
Link ate two strawberries, feeling a little hot, and the bad atmosphere began to rise. He picked up Sandra horizontally and stood up, "I will be entertaining guests in the restaurant this afternoon. You are welcome to participate if you are interested."
"Okay, I wish you a pleasant nap."
Renée Zellweger smiled as she watched the backs of the two, turned around and stuffed a piece of apple into Julianne Moore's mouth, "Sandra brought two scripts when she came, preparing for Link to invest. What about you, did you bring any scripts?"
No mistake, one first, one release, one inside, one appearance, one is, one see, one see!
"No, I'm here on vacation. The beach here is very beautiful, and Link is also very, very great. I enjoy everything here."
Julianne Moore gently patted the fruit mask on her face.
"Link is very good, but he's also too easy to talk to. I'm very worried that he will invest in film projects randomly, causing the company to lose money."
"Don't worry, Link is very smart, not an idiot. Although he is very good to women, he is not without principles or bottom lines. If Sandra's script is not good, he will not invest blindly."
"That's not necessarily true, listen!"
Renée Zellweger pointed upstairs with a fork, "The sound is about to break the roof. She wasn't so wild before."
Julianne Moore listened to the movement upstairs and smiled slightly, "I didn't have it before either, it's just that I met Link. He's great, a man who can make me head over heels."
"Yes, I'm already fascinated by him."
Renée Zellweger smiled, ate a piece of fruit, and fed Julianne another piece. After a while, the sound upstairs changed.
"Jennifer?"
"A few days ago, she was still very shy and couldn't let go. Now she is more infatuated with Link than anyone else, wishing she could grow on Link's body."
Julianne Moore said with a smile.
Renée Zellweger listened for a while, and the hot air made her sweat. She put down the fruit plate and stretched her smooth waist, "I'm going to sleep for a while, are you going?"
"You go first, I'm not sleepy yet."
"Okay, I'll go to sleep first."
Renée Zellweger walked upstairs in slippers, her sexy waist and hips swaying under the skirt.
Julianne Moore looked at her back and cursed, 'Little slut,' but just hearing the sound upstairs, she unconsciously closed her knees, and her body became hot.
