The Best Entertainment Era
Chapter 29: Worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth
Ask for a recommendation ticket!
The negotiated salary is only the most basic salary. Of course, a qualified broker or manager has to fight for more protection for the customer, and this is Amanda Seyfried's mother.
Ronan saw tricks and tricks. Negotiation was originally a time-consuming and labor-intensive task.
Throughout the morning, he and Mrs. Seyfried only negotiated the salary and guarantee conditions.
This speed is already very fast, and the negotiation of Michelle Williams under Robert's charge has not even reached the basic salary by noon.
Ordinary actors are relatively easy, changing to a star actor, negotiations lasting for several weeks or even months are common.
After being frustrated by Ronan with a soft knife, Mrs. Seyfried converged a bit behind her, and did not make excessive demands on the supplementary terms of the pay.
For example, the box office bonuses requested by many actors in this era were not mentioned.
The box office bonus is different from the subsequent share, which is a one-time reward given to the main cast and crew by the number of North American box office promised by the production company in the contract.
Mrs. Seyfried should be very clear that Amanda Seyfried did not mention the capital for this condition.
Of course, she has not let go of the dispute, such as the insurance benefits of Amanda on the crew.
The "Entertainment Act" has hard and fast regulations in this regard. Ronan cannot ask for trouble. Expenditure in this area must be done. The law stipulates that the medical insurance, personal insurance and benefits of the actors occupy at least 15% of the basic salary.
The crew must pay according to the minimum standard.
There is also an overdue payment. The actor’s working time for filming is two months from May 1st to June 30th. If the filming is overdue, the crew needs to pay Amanda Seyfried a remuneration of $2,000 for every day over. .
To put it plainly, this is the overtime clause.
It is not popular in Hollywood that all employees voluntarily work overtime. Overtime work must be paid, otherwise the troubles caused need to be solved with more money.
Ronan was a middle-level company in a large company in his previous life. Not to mention that he was on standby all year round. The work was timeless, which led to a long period of time without a private life and no surname. Finally, he went to the street to socialize at work.
Negotiations continued in the afternoon.
"Amanda's name will appear for the third time among actors, second only to the male and female protagonists." Mrs. Seyfried began to fight for all her daughter's opportunities to show her face: "It must be presented separately in the credits."
Regarding the title, Ronan had an exchange with James Huang. The film has a prelude, but the time is very short.
He directly rejected: "Amanda's name is ranked fourth in the actor, tied with the name of another actress Michelle Williams."
Mrs. Seyfried played a trick: "It's okay to be the last in the prologue."
Ronan said lightly: "That is for the director."
The best subtitles for the prologue, one is the beginning of the prologue, and the other is the end of the prologue. He gives the sweetness appropriately: "Amanda's name will not be less than the name of any other actor, including height, width, thickness and display duration."
Having had the negotiation experience in the morning, Mrs. Seyfried did not dare to underestimate Ronan. After thinking about it, she said, "Yes."
Mrs. Seyfried continued to request: "During the filming period, Amanda will be provided with a special car to pick up and drop off. A babysitter car will be provided for outing to shoot. There must not be any naked shoulders or thighs above the knees during shooting. If the film is exhibited in the film festival above the three-star level, it is necessary to arrange at least one media event for Amanda and provide sufficient funds."
Negotiations on these small matters are still bargaining, Ronan is not polite, and directly said: "You can solve the traffic problem yourself. The crew is limited in funding and cannot provide a nanny car, but if you are out for shooting, Miss Seyfried can work with another actor. Enjoy a car, the same goes for the dressing room. There will be no naked shots, the hotel is okay, and there is no need to talk about the film festival."
Mrs. Seyfried's face went black upon hearing these words.
This producer is really stingy!
Ronan rarely compromises where he spends money, but uses some false names as a weight: "Miss Amanda Seyfried can sign in the future movie advertisements or trailers of Shahai Entertainment. The future will be in the movie. Miss Amanda Seyfried also has the right to sign on DVD, video tape and CD packaging, as well as on the bottom of the film’s advertising poster."
As a member of the main actor group, in Ronan’s plan, Amanda Seyfried enjoys such treatment, but as a black-hearted capitalist, how can he be worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth without using the other party’s due treatment as a bargaining chip? ?
Mrs. Seyfried thought for a while and thought it was not bad, so that Amanda's name would have more chances to show up, which is conducive to long-term development.
After pondering for a while, she said, "Yes."
Afterwards, the negotiation between the two shots involved the specific shooting, mainly because Amanda could not shoot large-scale or difficult shots.
The focus of the debate is mainly those scenes with a larger **** scale.
As for the right to consult and decide on scripts, co-actors and directors, makeup and costumes, publicity and tidbits, they are not in the discussion.
Even if Mrs. Seyfried had just entered the film industry, she would not be stupid enough to ask for this power.
Not to mention the perks, which are only available to star actors.
It took a full day for Ronan to negotiate the Amanda Seyfried contract. The next day, under the witness of the lawyer, the two parties formally signed the contract. (If it is a trade union contracted project, it needs to be endorsed by the representative of the corresponding trade union and filed with the trade union.)
It took nearly a week later, and the crew signed a contract with Michelle Williams, Melissa Leo and Robert Kneipp.
These actors are basically not well-known, and there is no way to talk about their appeal. The salary has been reduced to a certain extent by Ronan, a black-hearted capitalist. The highest salary of Robert Kneipp is 50,000 US dollars, Melissa Leo 30,000 US dollars, just a few years into the industry. Michelle Williams is only paid $20,000.
In addition to the two Arab actors totaling US$15,000 in salary and the cost of hiring extras, Ronan managed to suppress the cost of actors’ salary to less than US$150,000.
The highest personal salary of the entire crew is James Huang, who has directed "X-Files" and worked as a producer in different positions in three TV series, which also meets the salary of 300,000 US dollars.
and James Wong’s good friend Glenn Morgan.
The well-known screenwriter polished Ronan’s script. Ronan adopted Glenn Morgan’s suggestion and revised the script again, adding more black characters to the scene~www.wuxiaspot.com~ just to rescue the black characters. Triggering a crisis in the protagonist's family, leading to the invasion of neighbors, and finally the blacks fled, attracting the rescue of Arab neighbors.
Black life is expensive or something, this era has begun to stand out.
According to the industry in the circle, Glenn Morgan took almost the lowest $1,000 polish fee.
After the screenwriters strike in 2008, this minimum figure will rise to $15,000.
The management hates strikes the most.
Which boss does not want to exploit his employees to death?
"When you work overtime: You have to use the company as your home. When you ask for leave: You think the company is your home, come and go if you want."
"I will definitely give you a salary increase. As long as you do well, the company will never treat you badly."
As a new boss, Ronan would definitely say: Learn from colleagues who often work overtime, and learn from employees who do not require salary...
Young people, you have to do more to become more capable.
It's a pity that no big stars have come to make friendly cameo appearances in the "Human Removal Project".
The total salary of the crew was controlled within US$600,000 according to Ronan’s plan, which basically achieved the goal.
There are also the expenses of the entire Shahai Entertainment, which will also be taken from the accounts of the crew. Mary has been doing the accounts. This is also a common situation in the independent film circle. It will continue from the financing back to the release of the film in North America.
In the preparatory period, shooting period and post-production period, there are countless expenditures for various titles, even if the film is released, there is also the promotion and marketing.
Shahai Entertainment does not have the ability to distribute, but the producer can also advertise the film.
There is Ronan again. As the initiator and producer of the project, he certainly enjoys the corresponding salary.
