Chapter 2318 Open the situation (2)

Kim Yu-fan's $15 million film pay, not counting the 5% box office dividend, once the filming of "Doomsday 2" is not started within five years, Paramount Pictures will have to pay Kim Yu-fan three times the liquidated damages, that is $45 million.

Of course, the 5% box office will definitely not be forgotten. No matter how much you calculate, you have to calculate it, and the amount will be as much as you calculate, and there will definitely be a lot of liquidated damages to be paid at that time. Then Paramount Pictures must pay Kim Yu-fan more than $50 million in liquidated damages.

However, after all, although it is this algorithm, even if it is breached, Paramount Pictures will not really give Kim Yu-fan three times the liquidated damages. This is too expensive. Paramount Film and Television will definitely choose to use its own methods to reduce the liquidated damages in various ways. Moreover, if Kim Yu-fan still wants to spend time in Hollywood in the future, he will definitely make a certain concession. However, at least 1.5 times the liquidated damages must be given. Otherwise, even if Kim Yu-fan agrees, the actors' guild, which has been looking for a sense of existence, will definitely jump out as soon as possible and help Kim Yu-fan stand up with rats.

Anyway, for the Actors Guild, it only needs a sense of existence to prove the strength of the guild. As for the result of this, the actors themselves are completely hated by the film and television companies and are considered by other film and television companies to be an unstable person. If they can do their best to not cooperate in the future, resulting in a ruined future, then this is not within the scope of the Actors Guild.

Well, this kind of breach of contract basically does not happen. This kind of contract for filming movies is often the production company's sequel to a successful movie. Since the movie is successful, the box office will definitely not be bad, and the box office will not be bad. This means income. The production company is busy trying to shoot the sequel, and then it will be too late to make money after it is released. How can it breach the contract?

There is another kind of shooting contract that is even simpler. Film and television companies think that anyone with great prospects or will rise proudly in the next few years. At that time, they are worth a lot of money. If they invite the other party to film, they will not only need to pay more money, but they may not necessarily get an invitation.

At this time, film and television companies often sign filming contracts with actors before they fully rise. In short, they just pay a little money and then sign a contract. The actor helps the film company shoot several movies in the next few years. Of course, if they really shoot, the pay will be calculated separately, based on the actual pay of the actor at that time.

After all, before this actor rose, the film and television company was optimistic about the actor and signed a shooting contract. Several movies were waiting for you to shoot. Don’t be afraid of not having the opportunity to shoot a movie, and don’t be afraid of not having any income. In a certain aspect, the shooting contract is the greatest guarantee for the actor’s career in the next few years. It is also appropriate to reduce the pay for a little.

Of course, film and television companies are not without risks. If the actor fails in the future and his development becomes worse and worse, he must cooperate with the other party to film due to contract issues. Although some supporting roles can be arranged to be used, the increasingly smart actors will propose the roles and time they play to ensure their own interests.

In this case, once the actor fails, the film and television company will have a headache because of the shooting contract. Because the contract must invite the other party to shoot several movies for a few years, a certain role represents a certain pay, and the effect may not be good.

In fact, the shooting contract is a bet between the film and television company and both parties. If the film and television company wins, it can invite the actor to film with less money, and it must be filmed, so there is no need to worry about not being invited. If the actor wins, there will be film works in at least a few years, so there is no need to worry about a complete decline, and it is possible to turn over with these few film works.

Well, there is another way in the shooting contract, which is basically a shooting contract belonging to the movie series.

For example, if the first movie series is very successful and has a big box office sales, the protagonist will definitely not be changed. Countless movie series will be completely smashed by changing the male lead. The bloody facts tell the whole Hollywood that you are not Batman, nor 007, nor Superman. So it is best not to change the protagonist of the movie series, otherwise the good movie series will be completely messed up.

In this case, the film and television company is worried that the protagonist's net worth will double due to the huge success of the movie, and there will be no time in the future, or if he has a conflict with the film and television company and is unwilling to continue shooting the sequel, then he will watch the successful movie series, and the movie that can make money cannot be filmed. If he wants to shoot, he can only change the protagonist, and it is very likely that he can make money completely destroy the movie series that was originally very successful and can make money. This is definitely not something that the film and television company is willing to see.

Therefore, alternative shooting contracts emerged. The film and television company would pay a large signing fee to sign a contract with the protagonist, requiring the actor to continue shooting the movie series in the future and serve as the male lead in the movie series. As for the pay, the actual pay for the actor at that time, and even because the actor is the absolute male lead, core and soul of the movie, the pay will be more.

The most typical one is Robert Downey Jr. Because of the great success of "Iron Man", Marvel directly signed a contract with Robert Downey Jr. for six movies. Robert Downey Jr. continues to appear in the "Iron Man" movie series as Iron Man, as well as other Marvel movies.

Afterwards, seeing the momentum was so popular, Marvel continued to renew his contract with Robert Downey Jr., striving to play the role well in the future Marvel movie plans, in addition to the "Iron Man" movie series, when Iron Man is needed, Robert Downey Jr. will appear and play the role well.

Now, Ian Bryce represents Paramount Pictures and plans to sign a filming plan with Kim Yu-fan, just to make sure of this matter first, so as not to have to film "Doomsday 2" in the future, Kim Yu-fan has no time and even refuses to film.

A $15 million salary plus a 5% box office dividend is definitely Paramount Pictures’ greatest sincerity. Even Kim Yu-fan feels that Brad Pitt’s pay may not be higher than himself, at most, the box office dividend is between 7% and 10%.

What? You said that some actors can get a terrifying dividend of 30%. Yes, there is indeed such a thing, but first of all, you have to know that an actor's box office dividend can get a terrifying dividend of 30%. There are several conditions.

First of all, this actor is definitely a big name and the top actor in Hollywood. Secondly, this actor definitely has no pay, and the so-called pay is also counted as a movie investment.

Finally, unless the protagonist of the movie series starring this actor is deeply rooted in the minds of movie fans, they will basically be some movies that are small-cost or destined to not be sold at the box office, which will have a 30% box office dividend.

Basically, the film companies and crew are planning to rely on the popularity and box office appeal of this big star actor to stimulate the box office of this movie. Since that is the case, this big star actor has nothing to accept for 30% of the box office dividend, which seems to be exaggerated.

Not to mention the 30% box office dividend, Hollywood actually experienced 50% box office dividends, but the facts proved that both the film and television company and this so-called big actor were completely disappointed and lost.

If a real big investment is destined to be a globally popular movie or movie series, it will not give major actors any chance to pay box office dividends. For example, Disney Films would rather give Johnny Depp a $50 million salary, or even a $95 million salary in the fifth part, but it will not pay box office dividends anyway.

If you really want to be a film and television company, according to the popular box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean" at that time, for example, the global box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean 4" was $1.043 billion. If you were only given a $20 million salary at that time, and based on Johnny Depp's absolute core and status in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie series, you could enjoy at least 15% of the box office dividends.

According to the final box office of the movie of $1.043 billion, Disney Film Company can get about $400 million in revenue, and 15% of the box office dividend is equivalent to $60 million. Including the previous $20 million in salary, basically one Johnny Depp and Disney Film Company will have to pay $80 million in salary.

The price is too high, so I just bought and sold it in one go and gave Johnny Depp a super pay of $50 million, but I didn't enjoy the box office dividend.

The super pay of $50 million is enough to ensure that no matter how high the box office of the movie is, Johnny Depp will not have any ideas. After all, Disney Film Company is already very sincere when the movie has not been released yet and I don’t know the specific box office.

And the $50 million salary is definitely a super salary, and Johnny Depp can also eat very much.

Johnny Depp has no opinions or emotions, and without box office dividends, Disney Film Company can ask Johnny Depp to pay $30 million, which is equivalent to making $30 million, which is definitely a win-win situation.

Of course, the risks taken by the film company are definitely the greatest. After all, no one knows what the final box office of the movie will be, which also requires determination and courage to gamble. As for the actors, there is no risk at all. Everyone will be satisfied with the 50 million US dollars in film pay.

"By the way, Kim, this time I came here, in addition to confirming the filming contract for the movie "Doomsday 2", there is one more thing." After holding off the contract handed over by Kim Yu-fan, Ian Bryce looked at Kim Yu-fan and said seriously.

Kim Yu-fan didn't speak, but just smiled at Ian Bryce and pointed out his hand to say, "I'm listening."

"It's so. You should know that the Transformers movie series is also a very successful film series for our Paramount Pictures. Currently, "Transformers 4: Rebirth of Extinction" is being filmed. This time, "Transformers 4: Rebirth of Extinction" will add more Chinese elements, in order to ensure and pursue the Chinese box office market. At present, the crew of "Transformers 4: Rebirth of Extinction" is planning to find a Chinese actor to join to ensure that the movie can better enter the Chinese market."

Speaking of this, Ian Bryce paused for a moment, looked at Kim Yu-fan and James Steve. When they saw them, they understood what they meant, and Ian Bryce also laughed.

"Originally, we planned to find a Chinese actor to join the crew of "Transformers 4: Rebirth of Extinction". But in the end, we made the box office results of the movie "Doomsday" in Asia. By accident, you actually have absolute popularity and influence in Asia, especially the box office appeal. At least, we cooperated more happily, and we also know your acting skills. We cooperated very well, and there were no conflicts or conflicts. More importantly, Chinese actors can only ensure that they can go through the box office market, but you can guarantee that China, South Korea and Japan are the most important, and they are also the largest ticket market."

Speaking of this, Ian Bryce looked at Kim Yu-fan and spread her hands out, "So, as the producer of "Transformers 4: Rebirth of Extinction", I really can't think of any reason not to choose you."

Kim Yu-fan nodded: "Well, I don't think there is anything strange about choosing me. But I'm very curious. The rest of the crew really recognized me?"

"Of course, after all, with the movie "Doomsday" ahead, your popularity and box office appeal in Asia are beyond doubt. No one is a fool, and everyone is not blind. It is naturally visible. There is nothing strange about this."

Ian Bryce laughed. From Kim Yu-fan's inquiry, Ian Bryce clearly realized that Kim Yu-fan was still very interested in "Transformers 4: Rebirth of Extinction", which is a good sign.

"Besides, in the crew of "Transformers 4: Rebirth of Extinction", or in the crew, those who can really speak or have the power, are me, director Michael Bay, and finally screenwriter Eren Kruger. Well, there is Steven Spielberg, but Steven is almost just a name and doesn't care much."

Ian Bryce looked at Kim Yu-fan and said seriously: "I suggest you to find an actor who can guarantee and stimulate the Asian box office market in Transformers 4: Rebirth of Extinction. Is it my suggestion for you, and the success of the movie "Doomsday" is where Michael Bay and Ellen Kruger did not object to your joining. After all, your joining ensures acting skills, and more importantly, it guarantees the Asian box office market. This is the key, and they have no reason to refuse your joining."

"Now, the problem is very simple, that is, I don't know if you are willing to join the crew of "Transformers 4: Rebirth of Extinction"?" After saying that, Ian Bryce looked at Kim Yu-fan nervously, and was really worried that Kim Yu-fan would refuse.

If Kim Yu-fan refused before, it wouldn't matter, and it would even cause Ian Bryce's dissatisfaction. After all, this is giving you a chance.

But now, with the movie "Doomsday" ahead of him, Kim Yu-fan has completely proved his absolute popularity and influence in Asia, especially in China, Japan and South Korea, so the situation has undergone fundamental changes.

"So I don't know how the crew arranged Kim. What role is Kim playing? It won't be just a crew of "Transformers 4: Rebirth of Extinction" to arrange a role for Kim for the Asian box office. In that case, I don't think we have much to talk about."

Before Kim Yu-fan could speak, James Steve, who was standing by, asked directly.

Ian Bryce: "Of course, we can't let Kim be a supporting role in Transformers 4: Rebirth of Extinction. In fact, even if we really have this plan, I believe you will refuse after reading the script. In fact, we plan to let Kim play a good-segmented role in Transformers 4: Rebirth of Extinction. Although the role is not too heavy, it's normal. After all, it's a Transformers movie, not a human call."

"In the initial setting of screenwriter Ilen Kruger, Kim continues to play a powerful soldier like in "The Battle of Doomsday". He is also an elite soldier of China ZGBD, leading the soldiers to fight against the meteorite robots in the movie."

"Is it a soldier again?" Kim Yu-fan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly. Could it be that his soldiers performed so well in "The Battle of Doomsday", which was impressive, making everyone think that I am a good soldier actor now.

Well, Kim Yu-fan said that he didn't want to finally break Edward's image, but in the end he put himself in the image of a soldier, which is not what he wants to see.

James Steve: "Just like the captain in the previous movie?"

Ian Bryce: "That's right, it's like Captain Lennox, leading the troops to fight against the Crazy Sect. Although the "Transformers" movie series is the time for robots, we can't be completely supporting roles. In the movie "Transformers 4: Rebirth of Extinction", Kim Yu-fan will lead the Pla troops to fight against the Crazy Sect as ZGBD, defending Hong Kong."

James Steve nodded. Although he still appeared as a soldier, considering the huge global popularity and popularity of the "Transformers" movie series, Kim Yu-fan's ability to join the movie "Transformers 4: Rebirth of Extinction" will definitely be a great help to Kim Yu-fan's global popularity and popularity.

Therefore, James Steve turned his head and looked at Kim Yu-fan, wanting to see what Kim Yu-fan meant.

Kim Yu-fan naturally noticed James Steve's eyes. After seeing James Steve's reaction, Kim Yu-fan understood what the other party meant.

Since James Steve did not continue to ask, he chose to remain silent, this also means that James Steve also thinks that the movie "Transformers 4: Rebirth of Extinction" can be accepted.
