Five hundred and twentieth chapters insatiable greed

Please give me a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket!

After saying the polite words, Diego Harris was so excited that his reputation for being a broker like Bill Roses has long been spread in the circle. When profitable, Caa's lion's mouth will definitely be opened to the maximum and bite a piece of meat as big as possible.

But he also knew very well that superhero movie projects like this would definitely cost a considerable price to impress Murphy Stanton, Warner Bros. and DC Comics.

He has already said before that 25% of the total revenue of the film is Murphy Stanton's personal dividend. Looking at the entire Hollywood, this is definitely the top share contract.

This is also the bottom line of Warner Bros. and DC Comics.

Diego Harris' head turned rapidly. Now he agreed to Murphy Stanton's original share conditions in this regard. The other party's attitude has obviously softened, and the share should not be a big problem. Even if Murphy Stanton's appetite is big, at most he will increase the price in terms of basic pay.

For ordinary senior directors, the producers would rather give more post-production share than increase the basic pay. The substantial increase in basic pay will greatly increase the initial investment and increase the risk of the project. The post-production share will not be possible, and it can better bind the director or other important members of the crew to this project.

But directors like Murphy Stanton are definitely not in this ranks.

Everyone in Hollywood now knows that Murphy Stanton is a better guarantee of the market returns of a film than superstars like Tom Cruise and Leonardo DiCaprio. Judging from the five recent films, the works he directs are simply synonymous with box office hits.

In this case, it is not cost-effective to pay a huge amount of later sharing than to increase the basic pay.

In terms of increasing basic pay, Bruce Rosenblum did not make clear requirements, and he still has some room for operation.

In just a moment, countless thoughts flashed through Diego Harris' mind, and then he had his own psychological bottom line.

In order to successfully handle Murphy Stanton, he is willing to accept a salary of 20 plus 25, which means a basic salary of 20 million US dollars plus a full income share of 25% of the video!

In Diego Harris's view, such a reward is not only unique to Hollywood, but it is also a very rare super-large contract.

Of course, he could not say these things directly, otherwise it would be not negotiations, but waiting to be slaughtered by Bill Roses.

Diego Harris believes that the conditions he represents for Warner Bros. and DC Comics are already very high.

After saying the polite words, Bill Roses directly got to the point, "Let's talk about Murphy's salary first."

"Please say." Diego Harris made a gesture of asking for help.

Saying everything else is false, and salary is the key to determining the cooperation between the two parties.

Bill Roses stretched out his index finger and middle finger, "a basic salary of 20 million US dollars."

After hearing what he said, Diego Harris did not say anything, and he felt a little relieved, but Bill Roses continued, "In addition, 30% of the total revenue of the future film is Murphy's personal share!"

Thirty percent? Diego Harris' eyes widened in an instant and couldn't help but say, "This is impossible!"

Bill Roses spread his hands and shrugged again.

"I said it before." Diego Harris stressed again, "Twenty-five percent of the total revenue share!"

"That's the price before Murphy." Bill Roses laughed, "Diego, do you think Murphy is still the same as Murphy in the past? He has a higher position in the industry and has stronger appeal, so he deserves more rewards!"

Diego Harris shook his head directly, "Warner Bros. has no such precedent."

"The first person to walk on the road," said Bill Roses.

"Sorry." Diego Harris sighed in his heart. Murphy Stanton was even more greedy than he thought. "I can't agree to such a condition."

"Okay." Bill Roses stood up directly, "It seems that we can't cooperate again."

When Diego Harris saw that Bill Roses didn't want to talk anymore, he subconsciously wanted to stand up and stop him, but when he thought that this would make his side more passive, he forced himself to endure it.

Bill Roses was about to leave, and before leaving, he said, "Diego, you know my phone number. If Warner Brothers agree to our conditions, you can call me at any time. Murphy is still very cooperative and sincere."

This is also called having sincerity for cooperation? Diego Harris wanted to rush up and squirt Bill Roses, but he said, "I will report these situations to the company."

"goodbye."

After saying that, Bill Roses walked out of the reception room.

This price was not something he had done well, but was offered by Murphy. Murphy had his own plan to proceed. Unless there was a major accident or unrejectable reward, he did not want to interrupt the plan that had already begun to prepare in advance. When Warner Brothers came to him at this time, he would of course offer a sky-high price.

If Warner Bros. and DC Comics agree, such a price may bring huge income, and he can also slightly interrupt his plan.

If Warner Bros. and DC Comics refuse, he will not lose much.

Diego Harris informed Bruce Rosenblum of the negotiation process via phone.

Sitting in his office, Bruce Rosenblum held the phone, for some reason, felt relieved, and there was a hint of secret joy. Murphy Stanton gave such a high condition, wasn't it just right to give him a reason to refuse?

At a board meeting not long ago, many people criticized his abandonment of cooperation with Murphy Stanton, believing that Murphy Stanton should be invited back to direct the DC superhero movie series. And these people, like Diego Harris, are real power figures, putting a lot of pressure on him, the CEO.

Now, Warner Bros. cannot agree to such a condition, and there was no such precedent before.

"Diego, you continue to contact Murphy Stanton." Bruce Rosenblum always has to show a positive attitude. "Wonder Woman has to wait for a while and talk slowly, so don't worry."

With Murphy Stanton's current status, it is basically impossible to reduce the pay for large-scale commercial films, and it is difficult for Warner Bros. to start the cooperation with him again.

"Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice" did have a bad reputation. Murphy Stanton did bring unprecedented glory to the DC superhero series, but there are so many Hollywood directors, he doesn't believe in DC's comic-adapted superhero movies. He has to tie it to Murphy Stanton alone to succeed.

It’s hard to say, will the box office and reputation of "Suicide Squad" be hit?

Bruce Rosenblum thinks this is not impossible. Warner Bros. can wait any longer. The DC comic-adapted superhero movie will never be so unlucky.

On the way to James Franco's house, Murphy received a call from Bill Roses. He was more patient than Warner Brothers, so that Bill Roses didn't have to worry at all and talked with Warner Brothers slowly, and it didn't matter if the talk couldn't be done.

If the agreement cannot be reached, the only regret is Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman. Fortunately, the shame games that both of them are very obsessed with can make up for this regret to a large extent.

Halfway through to Santa Monica, Murphy met Jonah Hill and rushed to James Franco's home together. They all came to visit Lily Collins. That proposal from James Franco caused Lily Collins to be forced to be gastric lactated. This was not a big problem, but Lily Collins may have been poor in the stomach because of the strict diet in recent years in order to maintain her body shape and her stomach was not very good. Gastric lacation caused her gastrointestinal dysfunction and her physical condition was very poor recently.

"I knew this would have happened," James Franco looked annoyed. "I wouldn't make fancy proposals no matter what."

Jonah Hill patted his shoulder hard, "You are still so unreliable in doing things."

James Franco didn't fight back, but just looked at Lily Collins who was sitting on the sofa.

"Murphy," Lily Collins looked at Murphy and asked, "When will Gale be back."

"It's April." Murphy just asked Gal Gadot last night, "They're having a little trouble with their business."

"Is it a big trouble?" Lily Collins asked with concern.

"A small problem." Murphy smiled, "It's almost solved."

"Gal is not here..." Lily Collins hammered the pillow he was holding hard, "Susan is busy with work, and there are no people who go shopping with me."

She suddenly turned to Jonah Hill, "Don't you want to chase Emma Roberts? How is it now?"

"That..." Jonah Hill scratched her head, "Since that time, she has been hiding from me."

Thinking of the comedy Jonah Hill created, Murphy and James Franko both laughed. It was probably that Emma Roberts left a shadow that time.

Murphy suddenly came up with an idea, "Joe, isn't that script of Seth planned to allow Hollywood stars to star in the real-life version of them in the film? Why don't you invite Emma Roberts? I believe she will consider this opportunity."

Because of Julia Roberts' relationship, Emma Roberts is a little famous and often attracts the media attention, but her situation in Hollywood is not good, and she is not even as good as Lily Collins. She can't find a representative work, and she is also a typical example of a popular character who is not popular.

"Good idea." Jonah Hill nodded, "I can try it."
