World-class directors in the entertainment industry

"So what?"

Martin shrugged, as if he didn't care about Disney:

"As long as Marvel still needs [Iron Man] to appear, then Robert Jr.'s salary cannot be reduced."

"For the next film, I will fight for a higher salary for Robert Jr...."

Striving for high remuneration for its artists is what the agency should do.

Robert Downey Jr. is a CAA artist, and Martin certainly hopes that Robert Downey Jr.'s salary will be as high as possible.

As for how much cost the producer will increase as a result, and whether it will suffer losses, that is none of the agency's business.

Just now, Barry Meyer was dissatisfied with Christian Bale's demanding salary. Why didn't Martin speak up?

Because Christian Bale is not a CAA artist.

"Haha... I support you, it would be better if you ask for $100 million."

When Barry heard this, he smiled.

Instead, he made a bad idea.

Anyway, Marvel and Warner's DC are competitors and sworn enemies.

Disney, which acquired Marvel, is naturally its number one competitor with Warner, which owns DC.

Barry hopes that something else will happen to Marvel.

"I will try my best to follow the first phase of the Marvel superhero universe plan revealed by Marvel. [Iron Man] will appear many times."

"A blade remuneration of US$100 million, well, I think the hope is great."

Martin smiled and agreed.

In fact, CAA has conducted internal research a long time ago. According to Marvel's plan, Robert Downey Jr.'s salary will reach 100 million U.S. dollars sooner or later.

According to the contract between CAA and Robert Downey Jr., if the salary for a single film reaches 100 million, then CAA can take a share of 20 million US dollars.

Among them, the agent who directly manages Robert Jr. takes a commission of 10 million, and the CAA takes a commission of 10 million.

This is considered a common share-sharing contract in Hollywood.

Brokers generally take a 10% commission.

Well, this is the entertainment industry.

If it's in the sports world, agents only have a commission ratio of between 3 and 5 percent.

"Wow, congratulations in advance, you have gained a profitable artist."

Barry raised his glass of wine and congratulated.

"hey-hey..."

"Qin, is Christian Bale the actor you need in the DC universe you are planning?"

After joking, Barry turned around and asked.

Qin Dong mentioned Christian Bale for no reason, and the male protagonist of the latest version of DC's "Batman Dark Trilogy" happened to be Christian Bale playing "Batman", which had to make Barry think more.

"I have had this idea, but it is not necessary."

Qin Dong nodded and shook his head:

"If the pay is too expensive, forget it."

"After all, in my plan, [Batman] will not be able to shoot independent movies in the short term, and can only appear as a supporting role in other related DC universe movies."

"The impact of [The Dark Trilogy] is too great. In less than ten years, [Batman] cannot make another independent movie."

With a basic salary of US$20 million plus profit sharing, Qin Dong cannot afford to hurt an actor like this.

Although Qin Dong does not need to contribute to the cost of the film, in the contract signed between Qin Dong and Warner, the remuneration is linked to the profit of the film and is directly related to the profit of the film's box office.

High remuneration for actors will inevitably lower box office profits, which is tantamount to losing Qin Dong's money and is not advisable.

"Well, we at Warner also think so. It is impossible to restart the independent film of [Batman] in the short term."

Barry nodded in agreement.

If you can't make an independent film and ask for such a high salary, how can you agree to it?

"Actually, you are considering it too early."

Martin suddenly spoke, interrupting their thoughts.

"Oh, what do you say?"

Qin Dong and Barry looked at Martin and motioned for him to talk.

"Christian Bale is not young anymore. The reason why he dares to speak so much now is because [The Dark Trilogy] did well at the box office."

Martin looked like you are overthinking and said:

"Just like Robert Jr. and [Iron Man], Johnny Depp and [Pirates of the Caribbean]."

"When they starred in these movies, their pay was extremely high, so high that it exceeded the 20 million club that is said by the outside world."

"But once they break away from these movies and look for them in other movies, the salary will not reach 20 million at all, let alone more than 20 million."

"Anyway, Qin, your plan is to shoot other DC movies first."

"One movie, even if it takes one year, two movies, two years, the final gathering of superheroes [Justice League] will still be a few years away."

"At that time, Christian Bale's salary will definitely drop."

"He is not an actor who mainly focuses on commercial films. He is a representative of the acting school and a superstar in the field of artistic films."

"Look at it now, even with the beautiful and colorful box office of [The Dark Trilogy], is there anyone in the industry who offers Christian Bale a salary of 20 million to star in other movies?"

"Let alone a few years later. We can afford to wait, but the other party cannot."

The expression on his face is one of careful analysis and consideration for you.

In fact, Martin didn't think so in his heart.

But from the name of Christian Bale, I think of Anne Hathaway.

There is the latest version of [Batman] who plays the role, but what about the latest version of [Catwoman] who is emotionally entangled with [Batman]?

If the DC universe planned by Qin Dong needs Christian Bale as [Batman], then Anne Hathaway as [Catwoman] will definitely not be able to escape.

[Anne Hathaway, it seems that I want the people below to poach people quickly. We must poach our CAA as soon as possible.]

Thinking of this, Martin muttered to himself.

Qin Dong is very generous to women, and Martin knows this very well.

Qin Dong fell in love with Anne Hathaway, and Martin also knew it, and Martin took care of it himself.

It's a pity that Anne Hathaway is not a CAA artist, but an artist from one of the three major talent agencies in the world, so the poaching was not smooth.

Until now, Martin has not succeeded in poaching, so Qin Dong has never met Anne Hathaway, and has not tasted this fair-skinned, big-mouthed beauty.

"If the salary is really reduced, it won't matter to us at Warner."

Barry thought for a while and said this.

No matter how low the salary is, with Christian Bale's fame, status in the industry, and the box office of "Batman: The Dark Trilogy" starring in it, a supporting role may earn you several million to 10 million.

But compared to the appeal of the original character playing Batman to movie fans, Warner is willing to spend thousands of dollars.

"However, it all depends on Qin's wishes. He is the person in charge and must make the decision."

In the end, Barry passed the decision-making power to Qin Dong.

He gave Qin Dong enough respect.

Barry, who has matured with age, is very good at being a good person.

What's more, over the past few years, big-name directors and gold-medal producers in the industry have refused to take over the DC business, which has led to Barry consciously recognizing his position.

"Let's see in a few years..."

Qin Dong didn't refuse, but he didn't say die either.

Although ten years later, Christian Bale will be able to play the villain in "Thor 4".

But ten years from now is ten years from now. If it’s from three to five years later, it’s really hard to say anything.

For Qin Dong, everything will depend on how much the other party charges for the film. If he is not satisfied, he will definitely not use it.

...

"Qin, you must consider Christian Bale. When the time comes, Anne Hathaway's [Catwoman] will appear. I will dig Anne to CAA and send her to your bed."

After Barry left, Martin immediately pulled Qin Dong and started mumbling.

I'm afraid Qin Dong won't want to do it.

"Martin, you don't have much time. Now in August, or at most November, I will be shooting a new movie."

Qin Dong did not express his position, but talked about his new movie:

"In the meantime, if you can't dig Annie into your caa..."

"You said that the heroine of my new movie is Annie?"

He makes his own movies and makes his own decisions. In fact, Qin Dong rarely considers CAA artists first.

Just choose the actors you want to choose.

But if caa successfully sends Anne Hathaway to his bed, then Qin Dong will definitely be happy.

For Martin, a conscientious agent, Qin Dong is willing to give Anne more opportunities.

But if CAA fails to poach the actress, Qin Dong might choose Anne Hathaway for his new movie.

It's just that this is the deal between Qin Dong and Anne Hathaway. Try something new and have fun.

That's all, the chances next time are slim.

"Two months? OK, I understand. Wait for the news."

Martin heard this, squinted his eyes, thought for a moment, and said this.

Some words don't need explanation.

"Waiting for your good news."

Qin Dong raised his glass and replied.

As the world's most profitable director, Qin Dong no longer needs to do everything himself.

I like a certain woman in my circle, I think her appearance matches my taste, and I want to try it...

Just give the order and someone will naturally find a way to send the woman over.

This is the card, the status.
