World-class directors in the entertainment industry

Qin Dong feels that he is a caring man.

I especially like small animals, such as cats and dogs.

When I like to have nothing to do, I can hold my pet’s leash and walk around a few times.

However, pet food is also more expensive now. With the development of social economy, prices have risen.

For this reason, Qin Dong didn't dare to put it into practice until he felt that he could make money, his status was slowly rising, and he could afford pet food.

The most important requirement for raising a pet is that the pet must be obedient, sensible, and well-behaved.

If you have a pet with bad behavior, you must pay attention to prevent it from being scratched and get vaccinated.

June 15, 2011.

morning.

"Martin, we are all acquaintances, why are you so polite and come to see me off in person?"

Qin Dong got up early in the morning and got into the car heading to the airport.

Martin Bob, the president of CAA, personally came to see Qin Dong to the airport, which Qin Dong felt was unnecessary.

"Oh, Qin, you told me not to be polite, so why are you still being polite to me?"

Martin smiled and joked, glanced at Jennifer who was also in the car, and gave Qin Dong a smile that all men understand:

"Did you have fun these two days?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Dong glanced at Jennifer and showed a satisfied smile:

"I'm very happy. I like Jennifer. She's a smart girl."

Thinking of the special plot of the past two days, Qin Dong was very satisfied. This girl was very resilient. Even though Qin Dong saw that the other party was a little resistant to such plots at first and was even unfamiliar, this girl was very smart and easy to learn.

Not only did he learn it quickly, but he also caught Qin Dong's excitement and took the initiative to add to the drama.

Qin Dong was very satisfied with such an obedient, sensible, well-behaved, and progressive girl. Thinking of this, he told Martin:

"Martin, there is a drama novel called [Get Out of the Way, Let Me Embrace Happiness]. Go get the copyright of this novel."

"I will write the script for this novel myself."

Martin naturally had no objection to this matter. After nodding in agreement, he asked curiously:

"Qin, you are very busy. Do you plan on competing for awards for this kind of drama?"

Qin Dong smiled and shook his head:

"No, I personally don't have this hobby. I have no plans to make a feature film, or I have no plans in the short term, but Jennifer can give it a try. Her acting skills are good and she has great potential. I planned this feature film for her."

"When the time comes, CAA remembers PR to win the Oscar."

Martin was very surprised. He glanced at Jennifer and showed an appreciative smile to the girl:

"Jennifer, you are very lucky. It seems that you are really the smart girl that Qin said. In less than two days, you can actually make our romantic and talented director pay so much attention to you."

"Very good, it seems that CAA may have to prepare a new contract for you soon."

Jennifer's face bloomed with a smile, and she gave Qin Dong a seductive look.

It was not in vain that she endured the humiliation and burden for the past two days. The benefits were so great. It seems that she must increase her investment in the future. Well, when she goes back, she will rent some CDs and study more.

"Thank you Honey, I love you so much."

Qin Dong was noncommittal when he heard this. Being a master must be caring and care about your pets from time to time. Only then can you have fun.

Martin is very impressed with Jennifer now. Sure enough, there are not many people who can make it in Hollywood regardless of their age:

"Qin, then [The Hunger Games], what are you going to do..."

Qin Dong leaned on the back seat of the car with squinted eyes and thought for a while before speaking:

"This novel is going to be adapted into a series of four movies. Jennifer is the heroine. You will send someone to me in a month to get the script."

"CAA is responsible for packaging, but Martin, you have to remember..."

"Say, Qin." Martin saw Qin Dong's serious expression and asked quickly.

Qin Dong stretched out a finger:

"The actors of [The Hunger Games] must sign a four-part contract, do you understand? From actor to director, they must sign a four-part contract at once. I don't want to see a situation like Downey's happen in today's comic book movies.

"

"I have no plans to find other investment companies for this series. It's all my money."

Martin laughed when he heard this.

"Ha ha..."

He understands what Qin Dong means. After all, comic book movies have become popular now, and he, the president of CAA, is very clear about the things in them.

What's more, the Downey that Qin Dong talks about is his CAA artist.

Downey Jr. accepted the contract for the first comic book movie "Tin Man" in 2007 with a salary of US$500,000.

Originally, the comic book adaptation company was on the verge of bankruptcy, and it was desperate to survive.

And Downey has been in and out of prison for drug abuse many times over the years. He has a notorious reputation, has already fallen into depravity, and is rejected by Hollywood. He can only survive by playing supporting roles in small literary films.

This is also because of Downey's family. Otherwise, this person would have left Hollywood long ago, and CAA would not have signed the contract. But his family has deep roots.

The two looked at each other, one had cheap pictures, the other had no evidence.

Unexpectedly, the movie was an instant hit, and the comic book company was not only out of bankruptcy, but also alive, so they shot the second comic book movie [Tin Man 2] while the iron was hot. At this time, because Downey had only signed a movie contract,

There is no need to say that when it comes to making a sequel, CAA naturally increased the price and had to raise the price. The comic book adaptation company couldn't refuse yet, so they accepted it, and the second part was directly raised to US$10 million.

Think about it, the first part is only 500,000, and the second part is 10 million, you will understand.

As a result, the second part [Tin Man 2] still sold well at the box office, which is good, and the comic book adaptation company has great ambitions.

A series of movies is not enough, a movie universe must be made.

In addition to the other two comic book movies, [Hammer God] and [Captain Liberty] will be released one after another in May and July this year.

And in order to prevent contracts like Downey's, comic book companies are now wiser. If you want to act, you must sign a package contract. It will be 7 or 10 movies at a time. If you don't sign, you will have no chance.

No, the actors in "Hammer God" and "Captain Liberty", whether they are the protagonists or the supporting characters who will also need to appear in the future, have signed multiple film contracts before they can star in them.

And without waiting for the release of these two movies, we directly announced the launch of the first part of the overall universe series "Revenge of the Universe".

At this time, Downey started to babble, and the lion opened his mouth. Although the price was reduced in the end, it still reached Hollywood's ceiling of 20 plus 10.

It's the so-called basic salary of US$20 million, plus a 10% box office dividend.

"Qin, what you are saying is that you really need to be careful. The [Avengers Universe] contract that Downey signed now was handled by CAA. According to our CAA estimates, if the global box office of this movie exceeds 1 billion, he will at least

The salary for a single film can reach $50 million."

"With the follow-up movies in this universe series, Downey's salary will definitely get higher and higher."

Although Downey is a rising superstar in CAA, Martin knew how to speak in front of Qin Dong and could tell the difference, so he spoke out.

A great director can bring benefits to an agency that cannot be compared to a superstar.

Superstars, no matter what they are, have a shelf life. You can't still get high salaries and be the absolute protagonist when you get old.

Tom Kerr, Tom Hans, Will Smith, and Nicolas Cage were all superstars who were once 20 plus 20, but after being popular for a decade or two, they will slowly fall off.

But as long as a director is at that level, he can still provide energy even in his 70s or 80s.

This is something that cannot be compared to the acting profession.

Qin Dong looked at Martin and smiled.

This man is the CEO after all, and he speaks so nicely.

Although Qin Dong hasn't seen Downey yet, because this person is filming "Revenge of the Universe", so whether it is the CAA banquet to welcome Qin Dong or the premiere of "Source Code", this person has not appeared.

But Qin Dong also knew that this person was an artist belonging to CAA, but he didn't expect Martin to say this in front of him.

"Martin, as long as you know, I believe CAA will not let me down."
