Superstar

\"&　　 Now the entire Hollywood actors with a salary of 15 million can be counted with two hands. To be precise, Hollywood has entered the era of high salaries, and it has not been ten years since the beginning and the end. Although the salaries have risen again and again, There are not too many actors who can get ten million dollars in pay. It is not easy for a film company to willingly invite an actor for 15 million dollars.

At present, the production cost of most Hollywood movies is still around 60 to 80 million, and works with more than 100 million are still rare, and 80 million is an absolute big production. Then, for an 80 million film, 15 million will be used to invite a leading actor, and the remaining only 65 million dollars will be invested in production. This is an account that any film company must carefully calculate.

Therefore, 15 million is still the limit currently acceptable to Hollywood.

Once a film company pays 15 million to sign an actor, they will inevitably publicize it. The keyword "remuneration" is the focus of the hype. They paid such a large sum of money to invite an actor, and they naturally hope to be able to To squeeze the surplus value as much as possible, not to mention the box office after the movie is released, to use this enough news to attract the attention of the public, increase the company, increase the value of peripheral output, etc., are one of the goals.

So, what if a company signed a contract with an actor for $20 million in salary? The result is conceivable. It must be a big explosion of media information. There is no need for the film companies to promote them. The major media will explode first, and then add the incitement of the public relations department of the film companies. In a day and a half months, these news must always be absolutely topical.

Imagine again, what would it be like if the 20 million US dollar salary collided with the most appealing and popular Hugo today?

Hugo can already imagine the scene of "everyone is going crazy" in Cameron’s words. Even the actors’ union has been unable to bear it, vying to discuss, presumably the entire Hollywood will be very shaken, because this is also It means that Hollywood pay has entered the 20 million years. With the first one, there is bound to be a second-even if the actors are not ambitious, the agency will not let it go. So it is completely conceivable that there will be one next The upsurge of investing 15 million shares into 20 million will bring the entire film production cost to a higher level.

To be more serious, top actors demand a salary increase of 20 million, first-line actors demand a salary of 15 million, and first-line downstream actors demand a salary of 10 million... The cost of film production companies will increase exponentially. It is conceivable that the entire film industry will be turned upside down.

No wonder, even Cameron, a rookie actor who has just entered the film industry for less than half a year, is also very interested. If Hugo is a bystander, he would probably join in the fun. But the problem is that Hugo is the person involved, which is really weird.

After Hugo hung up Cameron’s call, he sat on the sofa and thought about it. In the last two days, Joseph hadn’t told him anything, and Samora had a normal face...or said he was completely and overwhelmed. As for not finding the anomaly of Joseph and Samora?

But what Hugo can be sure of is that he didn't sign any new work contracts, and Joseph didn't sign anything for him, so what is going on? Hugo doesn't want to think about it. The truth must be confirmed after face-to-face communication. Hearing and hearing are not necessarily false, and seeing is not necessarily true.

"Knock", the knock on the door came, and then the door of the room was directly pushed open, "Why don't you turn on the light?" Joseph's voice came over, and Hugo only turned on the lamp next to the sofa. The room was dark. Joseph stood at the door and turned on the light. The bright yellow light came on slowly, dispelling the darkness in the whole room.

Joseph stood at the door and did not come in. "Charlize is ready to start the rehearsal. How about you?"

It seems that Charlize’s adjustment is better than him, and he was ready so quickly. Hugo recalled Charlize’s call with him, and couldn’t help but exhale often again. It’s best for them to stay in the position of friends, "Okay, I’m fine. Give me two minutes and I will wash my face.” Hugo said, regaining inner peace.

"I see." Joseph patted the wall lightly, then turned around and was about to leave, but Hugo's voice came over immediately, "Joe..." This made Joseph stop at the door and turned his head in confusion. Looking at Hugo, "Did Rick call you these past two days? Is everything okay in Los Angeles?"

Hugo is inevitably a little cautious, and he cannot be blamed for this. Although he and Rick have been getting along well for the past six months, his choice of work is indeed contrary to Rick every time. The two people communicated many times to solve the problem. But this time the 20 million remuneration is indeed the first major threshold after he hired Rick as an agent. Although the film industry has said it several times before, but after all, it just stays in the mouth. If they really made a check for 20 million, Hugo didn't know how Rick would react.

Hugo wants to believe in Rick, and is willing to believe in Rick...he, he just needs to confirm.

Hugo generally rarely asks these things, because Joseph understands Hugo. Hugo is a person who values ​​friendship and trust, whether it is friendship, love or family affection. Hugo is willing to give trust. After he chooses to believe It will be fully handed over to the other party, but if the other party betrays, this will be a fatal blow to Hugo.

For example, in the case of Lena, although Joseph did not know the details and Hugo did not mention it, Joseph still noticed the abnormality from the clues.

Therefore, Joseph was stunned. He thought about it carefully, sorted out his thoughts, and then understood it, with a smile on his face, he walked into the room and closed the door easily, "You heard about Los Angeles. "Joseph walked to the sofa and sat down. After the dispute in the second half of last year, Joseph also understood that communication is necessary and important.

Hugo didn't speak, but pursed his lips.

Joseph knew what it meant, and he chuckled lightly, "Nicholas called you? Or David?" Nicholas-McLennan, this is Joseph's best guess.

"Cameron." Hugo gave a different answer.

Joseph couldn't help laughing. "I didn't think about it." He tapped his chin. In fact, even if he confirmed Hugo's guess, it also confirmed the rumors that Cameron said. "Rick gives I called and talked about it, and the checkbook is on Rick’s desk. Almost everything in the company is fried."

Joseph did not conceal anything, and frankly admitted the facts, which gave Hugo a sigh of relief. It seemed that his guesses were unnecessary. Rick probably didn't carry his signed work behind his back, so the so-called 20 million dollar salary must have a story behind it.

Hugo nodded, "It is conceivable that Ali should have green eyes." As one of the senior partners of Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company, Ali Emmanuel has the same network and ability as Ali. Very outstanding, his contribution to the company should not be underestimated.

Ali has always advocated that Hugo should take over the auction, to attract attention and business volume for the Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company. If the Hugo card can be used well, this will be a great development for the company. But Rick pays more attention to the cooperation with Hugo. He is always willing to listen to Hugo's ideas. The two have discussions-and most of the time Rick is the one who is persuaded by Hugo, which provokes Ali. Very dissatisfied.

Although Hugo hadn't seen it with his own eyes, I heard from Joseph that Ali complained to Rick more than once about his problems. The conflict of interest between Rick and Ali is also one of the hidden dangers of Endeavour's elite brokerage company. Fortunately, at present, Rick and Ali are of one mind and want to start the company, and Hugo's current momentum is still rising, so the two sides still maintain their balance.

This time, the 20 million dollar remuneration check appeared directly on Rick’s desk. Ali would definitely complain to Rick with swear words. If Hugo is Ali’s artist, it is estimated that Ali will force him if he is tied to Hugo. Signed.

Thinking of this, Hugo couldn't help feeling very happy.

"The company needs this 20 million remuneration, and Rick admits it." As Hugo thought, Hollywood's first 20 million remuneration was a revolution. The fateful moment, if this moment appears in the Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company, it will have an immeasurable positive significance for the company’s development, "but Rick also knows that you are not willing to..."

Having said that, Joseph patted his head, paused, and interjected, "By the way, I forgot to tell you~www.wuxiaspot.com~ There are two companies with 20 million pieces of compensation, one is "Future Water World". ', they paid out 20 million pieces and 15% of the box office dividend..." Hugo's only idea is, lunatic.

"The other is the film industry's ‘007’ series, with a remuneration of 20 million and 10% of the global box office..." Another lunatic.

After Joseph finished speaking, he went on to say, "You have rejected these two works, and Rick knows that it will be useless to persuade you. Even if the money is in front of you, it is estimated that you will be moved by your heart and then refuse. "

"Who said that if you really piled up money in front of me like a hill, maybe I agreed." If twenty million dollars were really placed in front of you, it would be difficult for anyone to stand the temptation. Confused.

Hugo’s words made Joseph laugh, but he also knew that Hugo was just joking, "So, Rick didn’t persuade you, he said, as long as you want, you can actually get 20 million dollars at any time. Remuneration, he believes you have this ability." This is Rick's confidence, a simple sentence, but Hugo knows how much courage and trust is needed for Rick as an agent.

"But Rick, like Ali, is unwilling to miss this opportunity. Therefore, this news is a deal."
