[US Entertainment] Superstar

Eve had never participated in a similar negotiation before, and she had no idea that every clause in the employment contract she signed was repeatedly torn out like this, and no point was missed.

Although a bit boring, but it has greatly increased knowledge.

If I want to be a producer in the future, how should I bargain with the agents of other actors.

She directly changed herself from a participant to a bystander, and she felt like her soul was out of her body.

"I think your exit mechanism is very unreasonable. Since the contract says that the movie will be shot in September, it will start up within three months at the latest. We can't wait indefinitely, because it will conflict with the rest of the schedule. In addition, It must be added to the contract that if you fail to pay the actor's salary on time, the actor also has the right to terminate the agreement."

"Then you must also ensure that you will not deliberately cancel the shooting of the film because of trivial matters. When we decide to reshoot the film for the film, you must report within the specified time. At the same time, you also have the obligation to promote the film, and take responsibility for TV programs and professional magazines. , Influential newspaper interviews."

After the agents and producers came and went for a while, the staff responsible for recording information gathered these opinions, and then used a printer to hand over the rough draft to both parties.

Now I don’t sign the contract directly, but I have to take it back and think about it carefully, and let the lawyer review it while checking for omissions to make sure that I won’t regret it after signing the name.

Walking out of the shooting base of Universal Studios, Eve felt dizzy in her head, she said to herself: "This may be the most relaxing audition I have ever participated in."

"Girl, because you are famous now, you can no longer use the traditional audition method." There was a gleam of joy on Evan's face, and now there was only one last step left to win "The Bourne".

As expected, I didn't miss the mark, and the act of brazenly recommending myself as a manager has already paid off. This girl is of great value in training.

After debuting for a year, she managed to get the leading actress in a Hollywood A-level production. It's not the kind of movie that hits the sky and goes straight to the sky, but after a year or two, no one is found.

There are traces of her popularity, her works and her mass base, and she will not disappear from Hollywood easily.

The more famous actors will no longer go through the channels of the casting director and the actors' union, but will be locked in early, and meet with the director or producer in private.

It has been said that everyone in Hollywood sells their body and soul for fame and fortune, and everyone is treated like a commodity, especially actresses.

Sometimes, directors and producers will reach out to young actors who aspire to fame, some more implicitly, some more directly.

Just like when Eve first went to audition for "X-Men", a producer invited her to his own party.This kind of temptation will make the actress feel uncomfortable, and it belongs to the kind of willingness to take the bait.

And some producers and directors will put a red sofa in the audition place, this audition sofa is actually an unspoken rule.

This happens even after becoming famous. Some people always feel that they can control the fate of others.

That's why Eve would bring her agent or assistant to the audition every time. Today, when she heard that she was the only one auditioning, she even brought both agents with her. She absolutely didn't want to encounter such a thing.

Maybe it's luck, there hasn't been that kind of person in the projects she participated in yet, but it's also possible that she knows people and faces but doesn't know her heart, at most she didn't attack her.

"If there are no accidents, your salary of 500 million US dollars will definitely be fine. Congratulations, you are now considered the second echelon of Hollywood!" Evan Stoff watched her gradually grow from an ordinary person , To be able to come to the second line so quickly is simply a dreamlike experience.

Eve was a little surprised, "I'm already in the second echelon now?"

Robert explained: "The standard for A-listers is now $1000 million, and you're halfway there. It's worth celebrating."

There are many male actors who have received a salary of 1000 million US dollars, but there are very few female actors, because Hollywood is generally patriarchal, and the saying of equal pay for equal work does not exist at all.

Starlight, popularity, popularity, number of fans, audience favorability, box office, awards, these are actually important indicators to measure whether a star is second-tier or first-tier.

However, these indicators are somewhat vague, and the statistics are very troublesome, so people in the industry directly use the salary figures as the standard.

The male actor's salary of 1500 million US dollars and the female actor's salary of 1000 million US dollars can be regarded as first-line.

As for actors with a salary of 2000 million US dollars, they can already be called super-first-line actors. They have a special name called 2000 million US dollars club members.

It is worth mentioning that this number is continuously inflationary, and it is also the addition of actors who have been freed from the shackles of the studio, which is much more than the stars of the 70s and [-]s.

The remuneration mentioned here is pure remuneration, excluding follow-up dividends such as box office.

Eve is now barely reaching the second-tier standard with "The Bourne", which is indeed a very happy thing for her.

"Then which actresses in Hollywood have received a salary of 1000 million US dollars?" She was curious and wanted to find a role model for herself to work hard.

From a salary of 100 million U.S. dollars to 500 million U.S. dollars, Eve has already begun to think about how to spend it.

Evan Stoff thought for a while and replied: "Right now, Julia Roberts, Sigourney Weaver, Michelle Pfeiffer, Jodie Foster, Meg Ryan , Demi Moore, Uma Thurman, Nicole Kidman, etc. Other A-list actors are because of Oscars, Golden Globe awards or the fame of the work itself.”

All Eve saw from this list were actors who were much older than herself, and actors of the same age had basically not been able to get such a high salary.

Angelina Jolie has only just won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, and has yet to make any commercial achievements.Although Gwyneth Paltrow won the actress, she has been criticized all the time, and her business has not improved.

Cameron Diaz has only just started, and has yet to usher in his own era.Sandra Bullock is in the trough, and Renee Zellweger, Drew Barrymore, Jennifer Lopez and others are still dormant, waiting to soar.

Actresses born in the [-]s carry the banner, actresses born in the [-]s are gradually ascending to the top of the Hollywood pyramid, and actresses born in the [-]s have basically not yet emerged.

After comparing horizontally and vertically, Eve was pleasantly surprised to find that she had reached the upper-middle level of actresses of the same age.

The original disadvantage of short acting time has been made up for. Whether she can reach the forefront of the ranks of contemporary actresses will depend on the next one or two years. The work is very critical!

As long as I become one of the best actresses born in the [-]s in Hollywood, most of the movies suitable for this age group will be found by myself first, and then handed over to others.

Eve's ambition is actually very big. She wants to become a superstar, so the timing is very critical now.

Once superhero movies and various big IP movies appear, the entire film industry will lose the soil for breeding superstars.

The new generation of actors can no longer rely on their personal charm to support a movie, and the age of superstars is ushering in the desolation.

In the 90s and the early 21st century, such chick movies and literary movies can achieve good box office results by virtue of their high reputation.

In less than ten years, Hollywood and even the rest of the world market will become IP-oriented. At that time, audiences no longer need superstars, and their love for superstars will also transfer to characters.

Originally, she wanted to lie on the credit book and celebrate, but now she felt a sense of crisis.

If she doesn't take advantage of the great opportunity now to stabilize her position, she might just become a legendary past actress, and she won't be able to find any movies to act in.

"When I return to the company later, I will sign the new brokerage contract." Eve held out her hand and said solemnly to Evan Stoff: "You have proved that you are very suitable for this position with your actual actions. .”

"Thank you for understanding. We will continue to work hard. The first line is not the ultimate goal. Our goal is to break into the $2000 million club!"

"let's work hard together!"

No matter what unpleasant things happened before, from now on, the three of them are companions on a ship, sailing towards the destination together.

Although Robert's income will be divided in half, Eve is now making more and more money, and he actually gets more income than before.

Take the negotiation just now as an example. If the producer Richard has been unwilling to let go, he can only get at most 300 million US dollars plus some incentives, and he will not get 500 million US dollars like he is now.

After making their ambitions, they didn't stay here any longer, but quickly returned to CAA to process the files. Since then, Eve has had two agents to work together.

While lawyers were reviewing contracts, Evan Stoff was getting serious about his duties as a travel agent.

"I have seen your upcoming schedule, and the next thing is to go to New Line Films to guest star in "Reaper 2" after a few days of rest. This task should be relatively easy, but we must be more vigilant. I doubt that New Line will use You hype a sequel to a movie. Promote a cameo as a lead role, or creep a cameo into it."

"Actually, I haven't got the script of the movie yet. Can you two help me urge the script?" Eve doesn't want to join in blindly. If she only reads the script when she arrives on the set, there will be too much time to understand and digest.

Evan Stoff looked at Robert in surprise, "No script?"

"Yes, I've been looking for New Line before, and the producer has been refusing."

"It seems that this movie must be tricky!"

The author has something to say: I thought I could reach 6 nutrient solutions today, but it turned out to be almost there.

Now that it has been written, let's update it, at worst, I will add another chapter tomorrow.

Is the author working hard enough?
