The Greatest Showman

Remember in one second [End of the God Station] Mobile phone user input address: m.xinwanben.com

Thomas Tour is a smart man, and he knows that what really influences the decision and choice of a film company is ultimately its interests.

Ron Meyer was concerned about the capital chain of Legendary Pictures, so he had to choose to bow his head, which is why Tour was able to compete head-on with Renly; similarly, now Ron Meyer chose to support Renly, breaking Tour The tacit understanding of cooperation with Ron Mayer also meant that the interests were out of balance, and now Renly had the upper hand.

As the helm of Legendary Pictures, Tour can see a higher pattern, and he has faintly smelled anomalies: Sony Classics, Warner Bros., Disney, one action after another, if you can't see it again, you are blind. .

The problem is that the helms of these companies are all old foxes. Even Kevin Tsujihara cannot ignore the interests of the company because of personal grievances-Tsujihara and Tour are on the bright side. It was Warner Bros.' corporate interests that also stood against Tour. Now, they are all standing by Renly's side, and things are definitely tricky!

Although Tour was not able to detect Renly's layout in advance, although Tour did not notice the actions of Sisyphus Films for the time being, this is enough, Tour has been able to make a situation judgment: Now Renly's absolute strength has broken In order to balance, Universal Pictures also made a choice.

Before Diesel rioted at the office, Tour was holding him accountable.

On the surface, Tour was furious, condemning Ron-Mayer's self-assertion in finalizing the "Jurassic Park" actor in disregard of the partnership, and he also attached a 10% box office dividend with a swipe of pen. This is absolutely unforgivable—because it also means that Renly and Tour are on an equal footing on the set.

Diesel was downstairs, while Tour was upstairs.

Tour's anger is no less than Diesel's. He left Warner Bros. and turned to Universal Pictures. He didn't come here to be an air bag. He needed to be a real producer. He needed to be a part of the filmmaking process To play a more important role, he needs to hold actual power, just sitting behind the scenes and strategizing, which can no longer satisfy his pride.

But now Universal Pictures gave him a slap in the face?

This is even more hateful than Kevin Tsujihara! How could Tuer swallow his anger, even razing this place to the ground could not quell his anger.

But Tour is not Diesel, and he disdains to be Diesel.

In fact, the focus of accountability has never been on accountability itself, but on expressing attitudes and positions. Only by clearly conveying your anger can you do enough for the tug-of-war that follows; they are no longer children, Universal Pictures The industry and Legendary Pictures are not shell companies that are temporarily pulled up by one million dollars. The cooperation cannot be ended here, but how to cooperate in the future and how to define the relationship between the two parties are all issues that need to be discussed in the long run.

Tour knew this, and so did Ron Mayer.

Diesel is simply venting his emotions and expressing his dissatisfaction, while Tour and Mayer's steadfastness and sparks are an advantage in building momentum.

Then, the argument was interrupted by Diesel's nonsense, and Mayer left the conference room.

But in a sense, it was actually Meyer's intention. Using Diesel as an excuse, it actually left room for both of them to think, and left a step for both of them.

When Mayer returned to the conference room again, the real game had just begun.

Tour took the lead. "You know, I can't compromise. If you insist on using Renly, then Legendary Pictures will have to withdraw from the production of 'Jurassic Park'."

This is an ultimatum.

Tour is smarter than Diesel. He chose a strong man to break his wrist and threaten Mayer with a formal withdrawal. This is also the last bottom line to test Mayer. He needs to know how much Renly's value has reached.

Before Mayer even had time to sit down, Tour had already made a preemptive strike. His movements paused for a moment, and then slowly sat down, but his expression showed a dignified expression. Between the lights and flint, he had already made a decision. , "None of us want things to come this far. I know how much you take this project, but if this is the only option, then I can only express regret."

I actually agreed!

The cooperation model between Universal Pictures and Legendary Pictures is not a subordinate relationship, but an equal relationship. Legendary Pictures has the autonomy to choose which works to invest in, and those projects that are rejected by Legendary Pictures are still owned by Universal Pictures themselves. Investment production.

In the same way, the reverse is also true. Universal Pictures cannot completely rely on Legendary Pictures. They must also make their own choices in advance, which works require the participation of Legendary Pictures and which do not. Although Legendary Pictures has the right of preference, its role is only to share risks, reduce burdens, and share benefits for Universal Pictures, and Universal Pictures' own operations must continue.

So much for the "Jurassic Park" reboot series.

Universal Pictures hopes to open up the potential of the monster universe with this work. This is bound to be a huge project, so they need investment from Legendary Pictures to share the risk; but without the support of Legendary Pictures, Universal Pictures will Will you give up? The answer is obviously no.

Now, Mayer's attitude could not have been clearer: They chose Renly.

This can definitely be called an inch!

Would rather give up the risk level of Legendary Pictures

Meyer also refused to give up Renly's market power. In other words, it was Renly's potential to tap into the entire monster universe.

Tour can't say he didn't expect it at all.

To be more precise, it should be expected - since Mayer has decided to sign Renly over Tour, which means that they have already completed the internal interest measurement, and the current choices are in the same line; now Tour still It was a little surprising that Mayer was so firm and decisive.

He needs to reassess the situation.

Renly Renly Renly.

Tour's thoughts rolled again. He had no personal grudge against Renly, but... he really couldn't like this aggressive guy!

If it wasn't for Renly, how could he be so passive as he is now? On the surface, he emphasizes that he is an actor, but in fact, he always refuses to let go of his salary, which is greedy and ugly. To be honest, he couldn't see any essential difference between Renly and Diesel. After all, they were a group of vultures revolving around interests. Now he is eating his flesh and drinking his blood, yet he wants to greet him with a smile!

Damn it!

It was just a moment of breathing, and countless thoughts flashed in Tour's mind, and he had to put aside his personal preferences for the time being, although it wasn't easy. Make a fist, make a fist, make a fist again. But he still couldn't control it, and the anger in his heart erupted like a volcano again. Damn Renly!

In the end, he finally let out a long sigh and managed to control his emotions.

In fact, there are more details in Mayer's words just now that are worth reading slowly: he did not make a choice in a tit-for-tat attitude, but after expressing regret, he euphemistically expressed his decision. The subtext is that, no matter what, the choice of Renly is an imperative and a sure thing; and the right to choose is in the hands of Tour, if Legendary Pictures is still willing to stay, they welcome, but if Legendary Pictures chooses to leave, they also accept .

After careful consideration for a moment, Tour looked at Meyer again, "Ten percent of the box office dividend? You know how outrageous this condition is, right?"

Objectively speaking, even if the first-line actors in the industry - Johnny Depp and Robert Downey Jr., etc. are not included in a few cases, 10% of the box office dividends are already very rare. Because of all the dividends of the film production company, the proportion that can be divided into the crew is about 40%.

This 40% is divided among producers, directors, actors, screenwriters, etc. The fixed total amount is unchanged. If someone increases the ratio, someone will inevitably lose their interests. This is what Diesel has always been fighting for. The reason, those effects are literally on top of the bank account numbers.

If there is only one big name in the crew, Tom Cruise, then as the actor and producer, he can take about 25% of the dividends alone; the same Tom Cruise, he and Shi When Steven Spielberg collaborated to film "The War of the World", the two of them joined forces to share about 35% of the dividends, of which Steven took 20%, which is also Tom Kerr The reason why Ruth doesn't like working with big-name directors and big-name actors.

Going back to Renly, an actor has taken 10% of the box office dividends, which is an absolute big deal in any crew, which also means that the other actors, directors, and producers in the crew Wait, you may not be able to use big names, otherwise the interests of the film company will be affected. Especially for major producers like Tour, whose main income is box office dividends.

Now, Renly not only splits 10% of the box office dividends, but also needs to take away the basic salary of 20 million - which also means that one-fifth of the $100 million investment project will go to Renly 's pocket. Compared to Warner Bros., this is a qualitative leap.

Tour's fluffy words were very heavy, but Meyer remained unmoved, "Have you heard about Disney's latest trends?"

Tour blinked, no change in expression.

"They used 7% of the box office dividends and a base salary of 20 million US dollars to invite Renly to star in the 'Star Wars' spin-off movie that has not yet been named. The condition is that this movie is the only one." Meyer specifically emphasized the last In a word, this is the most shocking part of the whole cooperation condition.

The "Star Wars" series is a giant of the cultural industry that the entire North American market must look up to, and now even Disney has set its sights on Renly, and has also expressed concessions.

Is this not enough?
