This actor just wants to verify

Chapter 1001 Matt Damon (asking for monthly votes)

From the perspective of physiognomy, Matt Damon looks low-key (slightly ugly, not a handsome guy in the popular sense), a little silly, and the sunken nose between his eyebrows even makes him look a little weak, with a weak face.

But this appearance just fits the tone of "The Martian".

Strong men like Mark Wahlberg and cool guys like Ben Affleck don't really need to be saved, just let them come back on their own.

And Matt Damon's acting skills are not bad, at least enough.

He is good at playing those ordinary-looking but complex characters, such as "The Talented Mr. Ripley" starring with Jude Law.

In addition, Matt Damon's attitude towards marriage is also appreciated by Hao Yun.

His wife is Luciana Barrasso. They met in 2003 when Matt Damon was filming "Close Encounters". At that time, Matt Damon was a well-known celebrity worth hundreds of millions, while Luciana Barrasso was an ordinary bartender with a failed marriage and a daughter.

From a secular perspective, the two are not a good match at all.

When writing such plots in domineering novels, women are always set to be beautiful, kind, pure and flawless.

They may even have their own fragrance.

Therefore, many people ridiculed Matt Damon, a male actor worth over 100 million, for being unable to get over it, and some people said that their marriage would never last.

However, everyone was disappointed after all.

Year after year passed...

His wife Luciana Barrasso gave birth to one after another, and with the ones she had with others before, Matt Damon was already the father of three girls at this time.

It is said that his wife was just found out that she was pregnant with another one.

So he and Hao Yun had more common topics.

In addition to talking about movies, Hao Yun was also taught a lot of parenting tips.

Matt Damon's marriage is not without benefits.

Because Luciana Barrasso's identity is too ordinary, the paparazzi and the public soon lost interest in his private life.

When the chat was almost over, they started talking about "The Martian".

If Matt Damon had not read the original novel, he would not be considered for the role, but it would definitely be a plus.

What made Hao Yun very satisfied was that Matt Damon had indeed read it, and more than once.

When "The Martian" became a bestseller last year, Hollywood had a wave of speculation about who could play Mark Watney.

Matt Damon took the initiative to express his desire to play on the social platform.

At that time, he had actually read the novel.

Later, he kept thinking about the role he wanted to play and wrote a lot of reading experience.

After Hao Yun got it, there was nothing much to say.

It probably means that the more he watched, the more satisfied he was. He decided not only to let Matt Damon star in his own movie, but also to recommend Matt Damon if he was eager to work with Zhang Yimou.

Zhang Yimou was a thick-skinned man, and he would not get angry even if he lost.

"The film plans to invest 100 million..." Since Hao Yun was satisfied with Matt Damon, he started to talk about the salary.

In fact, Hao Yun did not need to worry about this matter, and he did not necessarily talk to Matt Damon.

But Hao Yun was the producer, screenwriter, director, and producer of "The Martian", and he had enough authority to talk about this topic.

Matt Damon naturally would not feel offended.

Matt Damon was not cheap at this time.

It can even be said that he was a very expensive Hollywood star.

Although he has not yet entered the 20 million club, according to the statistics of the Migo Forbes website, Matt Damon is currently the most worthwhile actor in Hollywood to invest in.

For every dollar of income he earns, he can bring $29 in profit to investors, ranking first on the list of Hollywood's highest-earning celebrities.

Brad Pitt's net worth ranks second, and he can bring $24 in profit for every dollar of income he earns; Vince Vaughn and Johnny Depp are tied for third, and every dollar of income can bring $21 in profit to investors.

Of course, if there is a list of directors, and it is counted in China.

Hao Yun is definitely the first on this list of return on investment.

The first on the list of actors, the first on the list of directors, and then the first on the list of bestsellers, I don't know what kind of movie it can collide with.

"I can give you a discount on the pay." Matt Damon smiled.

He is a person who doesn't like to laugh, but when he laughs, he has a very special charm.

"I really need you to give me a discount, how about five million dollars?" Hao Yun slowly brewed tea.

"Ah~ OK!" Matt Damon didn't hesitate.

"Of course, the box office share is indispensable. The more box office, the more money you make. Welcome to join the crew of "The Martian." Hao Yun extended his hand.

"Thank you!" Matt Damon shook hands with Hao Yun and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He was willing to give a discount, but a 70% discount at once would be too exaggerated.

His current salary is about 15 million US dollars. If nothing unexpected happens, he will soon be able to enter the 20 million US dollar club.

But if he takes a salary of 5 million US dollars, this process will be greatly slowed down.

If you promise to pay 5 million for "The Martian", other movies will also follow suit and ask you to reduce your salary.

So actors generally don't reduce their salaries easily.

Even if the remuneration is negotiated, this behavior must be labeled as a friendship price.

When people go to higher places, who would think that money is too much?

Fortunately, Hao Yun has now promised a share. No matter how much he can get in the end, it at least shows that his commercial value has not declined.

In fact, five million Hao Yun was given too much.

Jessica Chastain, who plays the heroine, only received $2 million, and other actors currently being selected did not have much budget.

The Martian is not the same as Source Code.

The money spent on special effects in "Source Code" was only a few million, and this was a friendly price given by the special effects company - Hao Yun's follow-up movies include "The Martian" and "Life of Pi", which are great for the special effects company. Absolutely a big customer.

This time, Hao Yun plans to invest at least half of the budget in special effects for "The Martian."

As for his own remuneration, he also adopted a share model.

The total remuneration for the screenwriter, director, and producer is only US$5 million, but after the box office reaches US$200 million, he will receive generous compensation for every additional US$100 million in box office.

In Hollywood, when the box office reaches twice the cost, you basically start making money.

It’s not just a matter of the share ratio, but also the revenue outside the box office is also very high.

Hao Yun felt a big stone fall in his heart after deciding on the leading role of "The Martian".

An Xiaoxi could hear this kind of relaxation even when she called An Xiaoxi to report that she was safe.

Her early pregnancy symptoms have gradually disappeared, and her body and mood feel much better.

When Hao Yun is in Los Angeles, she must also consider the time in the capital. Otherwise, she may not have time to pay attention to Hao Yun because of her sleepiness.

Over in the Mainland, "Three Guns" has already been released.

With box office results of just over 160 million, both Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping were completely silenced.

After losing money this time, some of the grudges between the two also came to light.

"October Siege" starring An Xiaoxi has a total box office of 240 million in the mainland, and also received more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong.

It's much better than "Three Guns".

As for "Let the Bullets Fly", which overshadowed other movies, it has been extended for one month and is still in theaters. Its total box office has reached 700 million.

Once again set a new box office record in the mainland film market.

In this case, theater capital responded very quickly, and cinemas were opening one after another.

Many small capitals also began to flock in.

Most of them choose to join United Cinemas, which is led by Black Bean Media, Yida Cinemas, and Hengdian Cinemas, and accept the management and guidance of United Cinemas.

Although a pig can fly when the wind blows, there are always profits and losses in business, and maybe you are the one who loses. Professional management is still very useful in many cases.

Hao Yun and his Black Bean Media have single-handedly pushed the theater market forward for at least two or three years.

As for why we can’t push it more, let’s push it for ten or eight years...

Well, this is not a push in the butt, it also depends on whether the audience can bear it.

Hao Yun's last stop in Los Angeles was the 52nd Grammy Awards ceremony.

There will be a dinner on January 30th.

Hao Yun also attended. He was relatively low-key, but still attracted a lot of people's attention and attention.

There are also many singers who have crossed over into acting, and the most well-known among them is Will Smith.

Boss Jia, who knew Hao Yun, was also one of them.

Male singers are not easy to operate.

There are so many things that female singers can do, and many people in this field don't keep their private lives so tightly guarded.

Therefore, there is a lack of sexy girls who recommend themselves pillow seats at the dinner party.

Hao Yun must have refused.

Not just because Zhang Liangying is with her - she also came to attend this award ceremony.

What's more important is that I really don't feel anything.

Logically speaking, he is at the age where he is in full swing, and he has been abstinent for several months. Not only would he pounce on women when he sees them, but at least he would not dare to reject them so simply if they come to her.

But Hao Yun was indifferent.

Even Zhang Liangying looked at him with admiration.

Zhang Liangying came to attend the award ceremony, more or less intending to help her best friend spy on Hao Yun.
