Mr. Zhou's Chinese Restaurant.
Primavera Box.
Martin recounted (fabricated) his inspiration for the script.
looked at Harvey with blazing eyes and said, "Mr. Weinstein, this script is full of my hard work. So, you have to add money!".
Harvey Weinstein, who was still immersed in Martin's narrative, was stunned.
I was a little confused by this sudden turn of events.
After a few seconds, the kid brought the conversation back to the negotiation.
Looking at Martin, who was only twelve years old in front of him, but could talk about interests without any burden like an adult, Harvey even had the illusion that he was not facing a child, but an adult Jew as shrewd as he was.
"Martin, you're also asking to be the protagonist of this film. Do you know how hard it is to be the protagonist of a movie in Hollywood unless you're a big name? Of course, the kind of independent film that can't even get into the theater doesn't count, but your script is obviously the mainstream style. "
Martin smiled and didn't say anything more, and Jeff knew it was his turn to play again.
"Harvey, Martin is not an ordinary child star, in addition to his acting career, he also has the blessing of being a writer and musician, you can't look at him with the eyes of an ordinary young actor, his fame among child stars can already be compared to 1991's Macaulay Culkin ("Home Alone" starring). "
"Xavi, it's really impossible for a newcomer to get this price, but you can't generalize Martin with those ordinary child stars. "
"You know, Disney gave Martin 100,000 US dollars plus 5% of the North American box office share in "A Natural Couple". "
"Damn Disney!" Harvey cursed and continued, "But he only has one movie." "
"But this movie is a great success, the North American box office is about to break 100 million, and the box office in other regions except North America is about to exceed 40 million!"
Jeff and Harvey are at loggerheads.
Martin took the time to start tasting the food.
This boiling fish is not spicy enough, this Kung Pao chicken is a little sweet, and this Zuo Zongtang chicken is also a Chinese ......
Eventually, Harvey relented.
It's really Martin's performance on "A Natural Pair" is too amazing.
This film, written and directed by him, has an investment of less than 16 million, but it has received a global box office of nearly 130 million, and the return on investment is extremely high.
"Okay, okay, Jeff, you're really a devil, 3.8 million US dollars, Martin's salary is almost close to that of a second-tier movie star. "
"Hey, it's not that high, you must know that Macaulay Carr was paid 8 million US dollars in 1991. And Martin's 3.8 million also includes the screenwriter's money. Jeff laughed.
Martin was actually satisfied.
This price is indeed not high, but it is not low, and it is necessary to compare it with whom.
You must know that although he got 5% of the North American box office share in "A Natural Pair", even if the North American box office of this film successfully exceeded 100 million, his income was only between 500 and 6 million US dollars.
$3.8 million.
In fact, many second-tier Hollywood stars can't get this salary.
The income of Hollywood stars is seriously polarized, and the top coffee takes it all, and the salary can reach tens of millions.
The salary of second-tier stars down is like a landslide, plummeting to about 5 million.
This has to be a second-tier star with commercial appeal.
Those who make a name for themselves in independent films and art films earn even less.
Macaulay Carr is a special case among child stars, this can get a salary of 8 million close to the top superstar, because the first part of "Home Alone" alone has a North American box office of nearly 300 million, a global box office of more than 500 million, and an investment of only 18 million US dollars, breaking many records
-
At the time, it became the most profitable film of Twentieth Century Fox in the United States, and after its release on Christmas Day that year, it became the highest-grossing Christmas film of all time in the United States.
At the same time, it also broke the Guinness World Record and became the highest-grossing comedy film, although the record was later broken, but it was able to achieve such a high box office in 1990, which is a great miracle in world film history.
And the second part of "Home Alone", he couldn't miss the protagonist of the house, so he was asked to get this sky-high salary.
Just look at Macaulay Carr's salary after he left the "Home Alone" series.
What's more, Martin also got his most important investment share, 40%, which is what he values the most.
"It was a pleasure to work with. "
"It was a pleasure to work with. "
Business matters were settled, and we became good friends again.
Harvey smiled and said to Martin: "Martin, although this film is a horror film, I look very good at winning awards, you have to play it well, and then get the youngest Oscar actor back." "
Martin shrugged, "I tried my best." "
............
Meyers at home.
Linda is complaining to her husband.
"Grant, your heart is too big, so you can let our precious son go and talk to Hollywood vampires about those things of interest?".
"Please, Linda, our son is special, maybe he can't quite do it right now, but after a while of getting used to it, none of this is a problem for him. "
Grant is clearly extremely confident in Martin, "You should know that our little Martin has enough ability and intelligence to face it all. And, isn't there still Jeff!".
Then Grant frowned, and said: "Now what I am distressed about is not that my son is not mature enough, but that his wife is too mature, and sometimes I have an extremely strong illusion when I talk to him, feeling that I am not talking to a child, but having a peer-to-peer exchange." "
"I, as a father, have not yet enjoyed the worship of my own children, and I am about to become an admirer of my own children!"
Linda is amused by Grant's funny words and quips, "Why don't we have another one?".
Grant's eyes lit up, "That's a good choice, God forbid, don't send us another little genius this time, one is enough." "
Now it was Linda's turn to make a bitter face, "Are you serious? But, but my career has just begun." "
After giving birth to Martin, Linda worked as a housewife at home for a long time, and it wasn't until Martin was six years old that she began to return to work, and she didn't want to do it again.
Grant laughed, "I'm scared, I'm kidding, too." "
He immediately changed the subject and said, "Seriously, my dear, we should probably go and test Martin's IQ." "
On the other side, Jeff, who was driving Martin home, also said, "Martin, have you ever thought about testing your IQ?".
"IQ test, why do you talk about this?".
"This will solidify your name as a 'genius', and we will have another point of publicity. "
After careful consideration, Martin refused.
He wasn't sure if measuring his IQ in a human way would detect a mentally handicapped or neurotic.
You know, the thinking logic of succubi is very different from that of humans.
Let's be careful!
Maybe when you have a complete understanding of human behavior and thinking logic, you can give it a try.
