„5 million salaries? Were you insane? Last night hi too big?”
The managers thought that Leonardo was certainly insane.
Early in 2000, his sale price has almost touched the thresholds of two surely USD clubs, in addition recently " Mongoose Game » box office rose, one-day box office to surmount «Lord of the Rings 2», even initiated frantic of massive female fans to Leonardo to hound and so on phenomena, was helping Leonardo continue to raise the sale price.
If gives «Mongoose Game» one month of fermentation again, if his global box office can reach 500,000,000-600,000,000 USD scales, Leonardo's sale price will continue inevitably also to make a bigger breakthrough.
2000 ten thousand USD salaries, sound to be very fearful, even a movie suffices this time domestic racket several so-called „big manufacture”, but to Hollywood, completely in acceptable range, so long as various aspect strength value prices of actor, he certainly can attain such high salary repayment.
The Hollywood movie is always the great writer, the movie budgets high, the actor salary to be high, the production cost is high, but the back of this great writer, is containing the big income, for example the movie box office is high, the copyright income is high.
Some movies, hundred million USD costs, 35 hundred million USD global box offices, the dvd release gains several million USD again, such as the copyright derivation of novel, animation and peripheral commodity can also sell several million USD to be even higher, therefore in this very mature commercial system, the Leonardo two USD salaries almost it can be said that did not have the moisture content surely.
Two surely USD salaries, if runs into the well-known director, script that or likes, the actor from falling the salary is also normal, but reduces also has a limit, for example normally, Leonardo, if continues to participate performance Spielberg's movie, from falling the salary to 15 million is quite normal, five million USD favors have shown due respect for the feelings.
However, didn't expect, Leonardo probably was the brain is kicked by the donkey, opened the mouth to the salary reduce to five million USD? In your Leonardo history doesn't have this sale price? Your 250 ten thousand USD meet to pat «Titanic», " Titanic » world explodes red, your sale price fled to surely USD above directly, you me told that now you did want to reduce the salary to 5 million? Noisy?
Leonardo explained: „Jason, you must know that this movie is Spielberg directs incessantly such simply, this time movie is the Li Mu investment, investment amount hundred million USD . Moreover the script story was the World War II, US Chennault's brother led one group of US civil aviators, went to China voluntarily, resisted the story that the Japanese forces invaded with the China air force shoulder to shoulder.”
„Li Mu?!” The managers heard this name, sound improved eight degrees instantaneously.
„Is that China internet big shot Li Mu? Does a that push advance box office first Li Mu «Mongoose Game»?”
„Nonsense, besides him can also anyone.” Leonardo said earnestly: „Li Mu is willing to invest these much money to make this movie, sees his attaching great importance to degree to this movie sufficiently, understood that the Li Mu's people know, he has intense nationalism color, therefore this described China and movie of US shoulder to shoulder opposition to Japan, he will certainly try to thrust in a big way to the influence of this movie.”
Here, Leonardo supplemented one: „You know that his resources were really too strong, entire Hollywood had these many media tycoons, but their information delivery ability around the world, be much worse than Li Mu, Li Mu's YY possibly did not have the Time magazine, not to have Los Angeles Times such authority, but it was exactly most influential to the average person.”
„God......” manager sighed one in telephone that said: „Forgives my leo, if I know that is the movie of Li Mu investment, I will certainly not say to you such impolitely!”
Then, the manager calls out in alarm said: „Day! This opportunity was really too rare, if can establish the good relations of cooperation with Li Mu, then has certainly the huge impetus to your future development, at this time we truly need to express that enough sincerity, five million USD salaries, should have the sincerity, although lost in a big way, but believes that the future repayment is certainly higher!”
Leonardo saw the manager to approve oneself decision completely, immediately vigorous and resolute saying: „Ok, you immediately help me communicate with Spielberg, give him an official offer, then prepares to walk the official contract flow, moreover ascertains the general photography running schedule of this play, from now on, so long as the running schedule has the movie of conflict totally not to meet!”
„Ok! I now on office!”
Leonardo said: „Goes, when the time comes informs my finally that's alright, I must hurry Google, who that Chennault is......”
„You did not say that I have forgotten, I listened to you to mention this personal name a moment ago, wants to hurry Google one to have a look......”
......
Similarly Tom Hanks in Los Angeles also receives the call that Spielberg has made, at this moment, he is sitting in front of the computer, earnest with the Google search and Chennault's related material, by line by sentence carefully was reading.
He looked the script that Spielberg has sent, immediately in the story and character by script deeply attracts, after reading script, he has decided to accept Spielberg's invitation, participates performance this «Flying Tigers», and plays the first Male lead corner/horn Chennault in the play, afterward then hastily starts to search the related information through Google, carries on the deep understanding to Chennault's fact.
Tom Hanks and young Leonardo have very big difference, Leonardo although is also a performing skill extraordinary actor, but is young . Moreover the qualifications were still shallow, ingredient first-year university student some of idol, but Tom Hanks is in the entire US film industry, the performing skill best, most to excel at one of characterization actors, each movie that therefore the docking makes and is responsible.
Chennault is not really truly famous in the US, if however his story deeply digs up, but also is really very great fact, moreover this voluntary help other country resists the fact of invader, the level, boundary or the depth, are good.
Reason that in Tom Hanks opinion, «Saves Main strength Ryan» can become the classics, on the one hand is the script depth enough, on the one hand is the performance of actor is proper, but most important, on the one hand, is the vision of movie presents the technique is wise, the success of entire movie, at least 50% is Spielberg's merit.
But this «Flying Tigers» is in itself also Director Spielberg, even is Spielberg writes a play personally, therefore Tom Hanks believes that even if this movie also in the plan, had 50% success probabilities, but if oneself play main actor, did not say arrogantly, can this character successful mold, as for Leonardo, his although be young absolutely, but just had a cooperation with him, could see that his is talented, moreover progresses is also fast, if two people continue the partner, at least can bring 20% success ratios for the movie.
But by the story itself, Tom Hanks believes only, «Flying Tigers» and «Saves Main strength Ryan» it can be said that is on a par, both take the real history, to be able as the prototype the brutal and humane brilliance of very good development war, as well as regarding the reconsideration of war, such looks like, at least can also increase 20% success ratios to the movie.
Such calculates, this movie basically had 90% success ratios.
In addition, Tom Hanks earnestly is also weighing the Li Mu's resources and influence.
«Mongoose Game» box office counterattack, making entire Hollywood see the extraordinary potential of YY this model of world-class internet product in promotion, «Mongoose Game» attained a YY push to make such breakthrough, if «Flying Tigers» screened, how many pushes Li Mu will give it the opportunity?
Adds on 100 million dollars investment again, so giant fund scale, to this movie, is a powerful safeguard, so calculates, this movie is almost impossible to be defeated.
Moreover, Tom Hanks also regards as important with the Li Mu's first cooperation.
In his opinion, Li Mu this young people, not only a powerful gold/metal Lord, may becomes the hundreds of millions internet users' that in the network world invisible „God”.
He has the absolute strength in the following several years time, influence these hundreds of millions internet users of influencing subtly, not only guides them to make anything on internet, but also after will guide they leave internet, to eat anything, to make anything, to play anything, to study anything, to buy anything, to look at anything!
The potential of this energy was too formidable, Tom Hanks believes that soon, Li Mu becomes in this world one of the commercial energy strongest people, can therefore hit to relate with him ahead of time, has the huge help to own future inevitably.
Spielberg then received Leonardo quickly, as well as Tom Hanks's definite answer, and receives official offer that their managers have sent, what making him unable to believe that Leonardo's manager offers officially unexpectedly only then the trivial five million USD salary, without any attendant claim, does not draw bonus and does not guarantee a minimum, is five million USD this short-lived businesses \;
Tom Hanks's offer also makes him dumbfounded, because Tom Hanks has achieved the ranks of 20 million salaries in last century, even he will participate performance a movie also to request the certain proportion the box office to divide up money, but, this report will give own price, unexpectedly only then trivial three million USD! Leonardo's salary also lowered 2 million, moreover what is most essential, he does not want any box office to divide up money!
Spielberg fools around together these many years in Hollywood, is not only over director, is a first-class movie merchant, he knows the offer that these two give absolutely might be considered as fantasy story in Hollywood, in Hollywood, no one has such big face to make two people pull down this exaggeration the salary voluntarily the situation, does not have this ability including oneself.
But, two people offers on swayed really here.
This makes Spielberg sob the sigh, the Li Mu's face is really not general valuable......
