The Best Entertainment Era

Ask for a recommendation ticket!

The negotiated remuneration is only the most basic remuneration. Of course, qualified agents or managers must strive for more protection for clients, and this is also Amanda Seyfried's mother.

Ronan saw tricks and tricks, negotiating is a time-consuming and labor-intensive work.

All morning, he and Mrs. Seyfried only negotiated the salary and the guarantee conditions.

This speed has been very fast, and the negotiation of Michelle Williams in charge of Robert has not even negotiated the basic salary by noon.

It is relatively easy for ordinary actors to change to star actors, and it is common for negotiations to last for weeks or even months.

After being thwarted by Ronan with a soft knife, Mrs. Seyfried calmed down a little, and did not make excessive demands on the supplementary terms of the remuneration.

For example, the box office bonuses that many actors in this era demanded are not mentioned.

Box-office bonuses are different from post-shares, which are a one-time reward given to the main cast and crew for how many North American box-office figures the production company has promised in the contract.

Mrs. Seyfried should know very well that Amanda Seyfried did not mention the capital of this condition.

Of course, she did not let go of what should be fought, such as Amanda's insurance benefits in the crew.

The Entertainment Act has strict regulations in this regard. Ronan can't make trouble for himself. The expenditure in this area must be made. The law stipulates that the actor's medical insurance, life insurance and welfare shall be at least 15% of the basic salary.

The crew must be paid according to the minimum standard.

There is also overdue remuneration. The actor's filming work time is two months, from May 1st to June 30th. If the filming is overdue, the crew needs to pay Amanda Seyfried $2,000 for every day that exceeds the time limit. .

To put it bluntly, this is the overtime clause.

It is not popular in Hollywood that all employees work overtime voluntarily. Overtime work must be paid, otherwise the troubles caused need to spend more money to solve.

Luo Nan was a middle-level in a large company in his previous life, not to mention all year round, but he also had to be on call at any time. The work was timeless, resulting in no private life or surname life for a long time, and finally went to work and entertainment.

Negotiations continued in the afternoon.

Amanda's name should appear third in the cast, after the hero and heroine. Mrs. Seyfried began to fight for her daughter every chance to show her face: It should be presented separately in the opening credits.

Regarding the title, Ronan had an exchange with James Huang. The film has a prelude, but it is very short.

He rejected it outright: Amanda's name came in fourth, tied with another actress, Michelle Williams.

Mrs. Seyfried played a clever trick: It's okay to be the last one in the prelude.

Ronan said lightly, That's for the director.

The best subtitles for the pre-prologue, one is the beginning of the prologue, and the other is the end of the prologue. He gave the sweetness appropriately: Amanda's name will not be smaller than any other actor's name, including height, width, thickness and display duration.

Having had the negotiation experience in the morning, Mrs. Seyfried did not dare to underestimate Ronan. After thinking about it, she said, Yes.

Mrs. Seyfried continued to make demands: Provide a special car for Amanda during the filming, enjoy a nanny car alone when going out to film, and not have any shots below the bare shoulders and above the thighs and knees in the filming, and stay in a hotel when going out. Above three stars, if the film participates in the film festival, it is necessary to arrange at least one media event for Amanda, and provide full funding.

The negotiation of these small matters is still a bargain, and Ronan is not polite, and directly said: You can solve the traffic problem yourself. The crew has limited funds and cannot provide a nanny car, but if you go out to shoot, Miss Seyfried can have another actor with you. enjoy a car,

The same goes for the dressing room. There will be no nudity shots, no problem with hotels, and no need to talk about film festivals.

Hearing these words, Mrs. Seyfried's face darkened.

This producer is so stingy!

Ronan rarely compromises where he spends money, but he uses some false name as a weight: Miss Amanda Seyfried can be signed in the future video advertisements or trailers of Sand Sea Entertainment. Miss Amanda Seyfried also has the attribution on DVD, video and CD packaging, as well as on the bottom of advertising posters for the film.

As a member of the main actor group, in Ronan's plan, Amanda Seyfried already enjoys such treatment, but as a black-hearted capitalist, how can he be worthy of the conscience of the world if he does not use the other party's due treatment as a bargaining chip ?

Mrs. Seyfried thought about it and felt that it was not bad, so that Amanda's name would have more opportunities to appear, which would be beneficial to the long-term development.

After thinking for a while, she said, Yes.

Later, the negotiation of the double shot was involved in the specific shooting, mainly because Amanda could not shoot large-scale or difficult shots.

The focus of the debate is mainly on the larger-scale bloody scenes.

As for the right to consult and decide on the script, co-actors and directors, makeup and costumes, publicity and tidbits, etc., it is not in the discussion at all.

Even if Mrs. Seyfried had just entered the film industry, she would not be foolish enough to demand such power.

Not to mention the extra perks, which are only available to star-level actors.

It took a full day for Ronan to negotiate Amanda Seyfried's contract. The next day, witnessed by a lawyer, the two sides formally signed the contract. (If it is a trade union contracted project, it needs to be endorsed by the representative of the corresponding trade union and filed with the trade union.)

It took nearly a week later, and the crew signed a contract with Michelle Williams, Melissa Leo and Robert Kneip successively.

These actors are basically not famous, and there is no way to talk about their appeal. The remuneration was lowered to a certain extent by Ronan, a black-hearted capitalist. The highest salary for Robert Kneip is 50,000 US dollars, and Melissa Leo is 30,000 US dollars. Michelle Williams was paid only $20,000.

In addition to the two Arab actors' total salary of 15,000 US dollars and the cost of hiring extras, Ronan successfully suppressed the actor's salary to less than 150,000 US dollars.

The highest individual salary of the entire crew is James Huang, who has directed The X-Files and worked as a producer in various positions on three TV series, and also fits the salary of $300,000.

And James Huang's good friend Glenn Morgan.

The well-known screenwriter polished Ronan's script. Ronan adopted Glenn Morgan's suggestion and revised the script again, adding to the role of black characters. It was precisely to rescue the black characters and trigger a crisis for the protagonist's family. The neighbors invaded, and finally the blacks escaped, which led to the rescue of the Arab neighbors.

Black lives are expensive or something, this era has begun to stand out.

According to the industry in the circle, Glenn Morgan took almost the lowest $1,000 polishing fee.

After the writers' strike in 2008, the minimum figure would rise to $15,000.

Employers hate strikes the most.

What boss doesn't want to exploit his employees to death?

When you work overtime: you have to take the company as your home. When you ask for leave: you think that the company is your home, come here, and leave if you want.

I will definitely give you a raise. As long as you do well, the company will never treat you badly.

As a new boss, when recruiting new inexperienced employees, Ronan will definitely say: Learn from colleagues who often work overtime, learn from employees who do not ask for wages...

Young people, you need to do more to grow your skills.

It is a pity that there are no first-line big stars to make a cameo appearance in Human Clearance Project.

According to Ronan's plan, the total salary of the crew was controlled within US$600,000, which basically achieved the goal.

And the expenses of the entire Sand Sea Entertainment will also be deducted from the crew's accounts. Mary has been doing the accounting, which is also a common situation in the independent film industry. It will continue from the financing back until the film is released in North America.

During the preparatory period, the shooting period and the post-production period, there are countless expenditures under various names, even if the film is released, as well as promotion and marketing.

Shahai Entertainment does not have the ability to distribute, but the producer can also advertise the film.

Then there is Ronan. As the initiator and producer of the project, of course, he enjoys the corresponding remuneration.
