Chapter 805 (1/2)

During this long air journey, Simon's Boeing 767 car is equivalent to his air office.

When the private plane set out from Melbourne and was about to arrive in Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, Simon was still having a video conference with Denny Morris, the head of new world cinema in Los Angeles. The topic content was ”counter intelligence 3”, which was once again sold unexpectedly.

With the film's big sales, some Hollywood media also picked out Simon's serious ”mistakes” in the film's pay negotiations.

According to the sharing contract signed with the three creators, based on the original base salary, according to the final domestic box office of the film of US $200 million, plus other channels, Denise entertainment has to pay up to US $50 million of Omni channel dividend for the three creators, which has exceeded the production cost of the film of US $40 million.

In contrast, Michael Myers' initial offer was only $15 million in Hollywood top salary and 10% of the global box office net profit share, and the other two creators only asked for about half of his fixed salary. With the current box office results and dividends, the total expenditure will not exceed $35 million.

Now, with the base salary, Denise entertainment will pay the three creators a total of $70 million.

It's doubled.

Michael Myers is expected to receive a total salary of $33 million.

It's an obvious mistake.

Simon, of course, will not be affected by this argument.

The 30% Omni channel net profit of the three main creators is divided into US $50 million, which actually means that Denise entertainment can obtain a net profit of more than US $160 million from this project.

It's still big.

This is a profit distribution model that Simon can accept. It's much better than Warner's work for Mel Gibson and others.

What's more, compared with the total revenue of nearly 500 million US dollars brought by the trilogy of fight against smart stars, the 70 million US dollars of main creative expenditure this time is nothing, just as Simon gave a big bonus to the three people's total series. Simon is far less obedient to the stars than other studios. To be exact, he is very harsh. No matter how big a star is, he can no longer be a demon in front of danielis entertainment as he used to be.

However, harshness is not mean, and Simon has never been a boss who wants to run horses and doesn't feed them.

At the beginning of the project, Simon had corresponding considerations.

First of all, 30% is the highest percentage Simon has always been able to accept, whether it's box office share, Omni channel share or other messy share models.

Secondly, the adoption of sharing mode can stimulate the initiative of the main creators.

This is the most important point.

In the past, why did Michael Bay completely get rid of the transformers series? It's not the commercial director's incompetence, but Paramount's obedience and the explosion. Beth can get a huge salary without taking any risks for the series.

Anyway, how to play can make a lot of money, five in a row also really tired, then whatever.

The result is that paramount is ambitious to create a Transformers universe, because bombshell messed up ”Transformers 5”, and the whole plan just started and basically ended without any trouble. The next year's ”Bumblebee” is not warm in the haze of ”Transformers 5”.

Simon was very surprised that Mike Myers was able to make the blockbuster blockbuster in the original space-time.

However, for the fourth plan put forward by Denny Morris, Simon did not hesitate to reject it directly.

It is also the cause of risk and cost.

The domestic box office of the third movie is expected to be 200 million, with a net profit of 160 million US dollars, which is 30 million lower than that of the second movie, while the domestic box office of the second movie is only 140 million US dollars.

One of the key is the rising cost and the main dividend.

If we continue to start the fourth movie, Simon will not be able to make another $10 million budget according to the rules of the first three movies. What's more, the three creators can no longer accept the salary and share standard of the third movie. Therefore, even if the fourth movie still keeps the box office level of the third movie, the revenue that danilisi entertainment can get will only increase Again, it's down a lot.

As for going beyond the third film, Simon has no extravagance.

All kinds of films have their own ceiling. With the phenomenal level of ”hangover”, there will only be one in decades.

If it wasn't for the birth of danielis entertainment, Kim Kerry would have won the first fixed film payment of $20 million in Hollywood history this year, and a more exaggerated 20 / 20 model would soon appear, with $20 million plus 20% of the global box office bonus.

Now, Simon has successfully locked in the top salary of Hollywood actors at $15 million.

Although there is no upper limit of 15% for the bonus, Simon's requirement is that the actor must share the risk with danielis entertainment, and never get the top salary and high share.There was no room for negotiation in Simon's tone, and Denny Morris had to give up.

Then he talked about that Mike Myers had a new idea for the play. It was a spoof of 007 series. Simon knew it was ”ace spy” as soon as he heard it.

However, because the two sides are not very happy in the cooperation of the series, Mike Myers is indifferent to the contact of the new world film industry. Moreover, Mike Myers also plans to act as the producer of the project in person. In addition to the leading role and screenwriter, he directly offered a base salary of US $15 million plus 15% of the global box office bonus.

This time, 15% is no longer the total channel net profit sharing.

According to the box office results of ”fight smart star 3”, of course, we can get more from the net profit sharing of all channels. However, the box office bonus means that Mike Myers will keep his income from drought and flood, because this is to cut the cake directly from the global box office regardless of the cost of the studio.

Although it's not literally cut the cake from the global box office, but the studio gets 15% of the box office share, it still means that it doesn't need to bear any risk, and it can get the share income in a relatively short time, which is far from the long-term experience of Omni channel share.

With the box office results of the anti smart star trilogy, Mike Meyers really has the courage to shout out such an offer.

Simon won't accept it.

The starting salary of the original is US $15 million, which means that the cost of the first production of ”ace spy” may reach US $40 million. Even if the box office of this series is still as good as Simon remembers, the profit margin of the studio will be very small.

So just skip.

Now the new world film industry does not lack such a project.

After Kim Kerry got Simon's understanding, the two sides have also been preparing ”detective plane 2”, which is only the third of the five movie contract between Kim Kerry and Denise. In addition, after the release of ”Hongfan district” in February, Simon lost his creativity and let the new world film team complete Jack's ”rush hour” series. And, it has successfully launched a larger scale of the evocation movie universe series.
