Looking at the angry lass of water, after waiting for Jeffrey to finish drinking, he said: ” All right, Jeffrey, can't you see it, this is just a ploy so CAA don't lose face If they keep insisting on twenty percent of the profits, then there's no need to keep talking about cooperation But if you calm down and think about it, you'll find that CAA just want to drag on for a period of time?”
”Why do they want to delay the time?” Jeffrey obviously did not callass of water and asked
”Because they want to save face, soazine' produced a list of Hollywood power rankings, Michael Ovitz came first, Even Barry Diller and Michael Eisner at the heliants can only be ranked behind him If you have just won this title, and the two stars under your hand, started cooperating with the man you previously put a ban on, wouldn't you loose face as the most powerful man in Hollywood”
Jeffrey sighed in relief: ”That's fine, I thought the other side really wanted to split the profits, this is too messy”
Eric said sole the stars paychecks slowly raising, in addition to the part of the profits Because after Tom Cruise tried this model in the movie 《Rain Man》 and succeeded, other Hollywood stars are likely to follow suit”
”Two people, getting 40 of the gross profit Do they want to , and we have to pay other expenses”
In fact, Eric also thought of this problem, he felt that perhaps this may be an opportunity, to help his own interests, he was destined to join the Hollywood film producers Union in the future, so he must stand on the opposite side of the actors
Toive the actors a new fee charging otiations is likely to become the reference for many top Hollywood stars in the future So, the lower their percentage of profits, the better
If he can control this ratio between 5 and 10, then once it becomes a standard, the accumulated expenses that will be saved in the future, would be an astronoh Eric did not knohether this would succeed or not, he would have to give it a try
”Jeffrey, don't worry about this matter, just talk to theet 20, and try to reduce the 6 million paycheck, and tell them if they want a cut of the profits they will have to reduce their fee, they can't eat their cake and have it, too”
Jeffrey was still not willing to reconcile: ”Eric, why not bypass the brokers, and talk to Cruise and Hanks's alone, didn't you have a good time with them that day?”
Eric smiled and pulled out ”Hollywood Reporter” newspaper, and shook it in front of Jeffrey, and said: ”They are CAA's artists, I don't have a particularly good friendshi+p with the Out of Time》, but they won't make Michael Ovitz loose face Besides, they won't object to CAA's efforts to get theht?”
Instead of refuting, Jeffrey asked: ”Eric, tell me exactly what you think I should do It's the first ti things indefinitely, but as the boss, you're the one ill have to ivewith them, I will have a sense of propriety”
Eric thought for a moment and said: ”I heard that in 《Rain Man》 Toet the contract, he had to take the initiative to reduce his fee As for the botto as Cruise and Hanks fee doesn't exceed 5 million, and their cut of the profits is between 5 and 10, then I'll accept Remember absolutely no more than 10”
”All right I'll keep that in mind” Jeffrey noted dohat Eric said
Noticing that Jeffrey was still depressed, Eric patted him on the shoulder and said: ”Well, Jeffrey, don't worry about it anyh, because of this new fee et it back from somewhere else, And that part of the profit doesn't have to be split up with the actors, We can even charge more under the banner of the actor
”You mean?Implanted ads?”
”Bingo!” Eric snapped his fingers: ”《Running Out of Ti ads I saw it in the newspaper, Lahini because of the Ad implanted in 《Pretty Woman》, this year's sports car sales has increased three times more than in previous years,
The new Lahini Countach sports car is not even on the market yet, and already hundreds of orders have been received”
”This is really a good idea” Jeffrey finally showed a s to find in which place they can iave it to Geoffrey: ”Stop searching I already found the places”
After Jeffrey took the paper and looked at the long list, his htly opened
Mobile phone, walkie talkie, sport car, boxed cookies, sunglasses, caazine
”Eric, isn't this, a bit exaggerated?”
Eric felt that he still has integrity compared to the directors fro 200 million on a three-hour Ad, he just used the plot cleverly to put in the Ads, Instead of changing the story for advertising
”Jeffrey, in fact, I just wrote theht of them There will be a lot of walkie-talkies and mobile phones in the ed to a communication's equipment company, Motorola, for example, I heard that Motorola is about to introduce a new small mobile phone, Only palhini, plus Cruise and Hanks the two superstars, Motorola will easily payfees If their price is too low, then find their old rival, Ericsson As for the sports car, keep in touch with Lahini, presumably the other side will not refuse”
Jeffrey pointed to the list and asked: ”What about the boxed cookies?”
Eric explained: ”Didn't you read the script? In the movie, Andy planted several bombs, they were all fake, these bombs were made in boxes, not only will there be close-ups of the box in the film, there will also be related lines, so it's also a very ilasses and cameras, they are all used in the movie, so you can also pull some small sponsorshi+p fees”
Eric, aren't you worried that inserting toowill cause resentment from the audience?”
”No,” Eric said confidently! ”None of these ads are deliberate, so the audience won't feel any discomfort Of course, because there are a lot of iood communication with the sponsors is required, not like the last tihini, before the film is released, we don't want the sponsors to reveal themselves”
Jeffrey noticed so, puzzled he asked: ”The placement of the Ad is not prominent, and they shouldn't publicize it, if I'm a sponsor, I'm sure I won't pay for it”
