Toby Maguire costs $1.5 million to play spider man 1. However, due to the explosion of the film, Wald pictures, as a production company, added $4 million as a reward model.
5.5 million dollars!
This is the total reward for Toby Maguire's role in spider man 1.
Now the film "Spider Man 2" is about to start shooting, and it is the consideration of Zhuke and others that the leading actor asks for a pay rise.
In a word, reasonable!
After all, as a sequel to Hollywood, the film has always been faced with a sharp rise in the cost of actors. Of course, the director will also increase the pay.
But... It's hard for Kevin Fitch and others to accept the lion's big mouth.
$12 million plus 5% North American box office share!
Remember, it's 5% of the North American box office share, not the North American net profit share.
After deducting the expenses of the cinema, the distributor and the film tax, the remaining is the net box office profit in North America.
Between the two, the difference between the amount of the sea.
Kevin Fitch said in a deep voice, "Gavin, you tell Toby Maguire and his agent, Juan Wiggins, that we can agree to 12 million dollars for actors, but we will never agree to 5% of the North American box office."
"No!"
"To be exact, even the North American box office net profit share, they don't want to give up!"
Of course, there is no doubt that the production company should guarantee its own profits.
"OK, I see. I'll talk about it." Gavin O'Connor responded and left quickly.
As for Toby Maguire and his agent Juan Wiggins, it's hard to say whether they will agree!
Of course, there is a great probability that the two sides will fall into a tug of war period. Without a month or two, they can never reach an agreement.
"Boss, look at this..."
Kevin Fitch looks at Zucker and stops talking.
"Don't look at me," chucker said with a shrug. "You're the president of Wald pictures."
Hearing this, Kevin Fitch took a deep breath and said heavily, "I see."
Everything depends on Jack to make the final decision, so what do you want Kevin Fitch to do?
He is the president of Wald pictures, not just a tool man.
Otherwise, why should the company give it a high annual salary?
After studying for a while, juxtaposed: "the sequel film series we will develop in the future will not be less, so you must pay more attention to the payment of sequel films. Well, when necessary, it can be solved by book means. "
"Book means? Boss, you mean... "
However, before Kevin Fitch's words were finished, he was interrupted by Zhuke.
"I don't know anything about it." Zucker plays with the taste.
What is book means is nothing more than making losses.
"Harry Potter" film series, each film is a box office sales, crazy in the global race enclosure, but its book, it is also a loss.
And it's a huge loss!
Hollywood production company as long as you have the heart, regardless of whether you are an insider or someone outside the industry, it's a complete pit you don't discuss!
To be honest, Wald pictures has developed a number of films.
"Fatal bend", "human clearance plan", "Spartan 300 warriors", "death is coming"
These are the well-known series of Hollywood horror movies.
But!
Watch spider man and Harry Potter!
They are the real series movies. The first thing is that the actors can't be changed. You have to pay more for the follow-up movies.
Including the movie "speed and passion" to be released by Wald pictures and the newly approved movie "electric saw", it is also a series of films.
"Tut tut ~"
"Kevin, I think you'll see a lot of sequels in the future," he sighed
Kevin Fitch nodded: "that's why I have a headache!"
Before the shooting of Spiderman 1, Wald pictures signed a trilogy actor contract with Toby McGuire, instead of a single Spiderman 1 film, which clearly stated the upper limit of film remuneration. Otherwise, he would ask for a higher price now!
Colombia has suffered a great loss in the past.
In the movie spider man 1, Toby Maguire made a profit of $8 million;
In the movie Spider Man 2, Toby Maguire's pay alone soared to $17 million, including a certain box office share;
The movie Spiderman 3, that's going too far!
Toby Maguire's "Spider Man 3" in which the actor's pay + box office share alone, at one stroke more than 45 million dollars, and even the follow-up copyright revenue, also participate in the share, which is at least 20 million dollars of expenditure.
It's terrible~
"Thanks to Columbia's brain, it didn't start shooting Spider Man 4, otherwise, the actors would have made money." Zucker couldn't help it.
High film pay;
Ask for a share of the box office;
Ask for the share of follow-up copyright revenue;
This is a problem that production companies have to face when developing sequel series films.
Why does Marvel have to kill the iron man in the movie Avengers 4?
No way!
Marvel can't afford little Downey's pay!
If I don't write you to death, then who should I write to death?
"OK, Kevin, I'll go first. I'll just focus on the final result of the contract for spider man." Zucker waved his hand to leave.
"Yes, boss." Kevin Fitch said.
How low is it that Zhuke doesn't need to participate in the issue of actor's remuneration at all!
Once upon a time, when Wald pictures was just founded, in the face of these problems, Zhuke did not need to fight in person, but now he does not need to. A large number of elite soldiers under his hand will take care of everything.
He doesn't need to know the process, nor is he interested in it.
......
Somewhere in Los Angeles.
"Toby, good news!"
Agent Juan Wiggins ran into the villa excitedly and said: "man, Spider Man 2 is about to start shooting. The news has spread all over the United States. No, as soon as the news comes out, Mercedes Benz, Rolex and other boutique endorsements are coming. The price is not low!"
"Well, really? It seems that my sports car will have another Mercedes Benz. "
Toby Maguire is also very excited to get the endorsement of a big brand.
Endorsement contract is undoubtedly a hot topic for artists and agents.
Before Spiderman 1 was released, Toby Maguire, as an actor, was only a little famous at that time, with only three endorsement contracts.
The highest endorsement is the endorsement of a clothing brand, which is only $200000 a year.
But... After Spiderman was released?
He's all over the world!
In less than a year, Toby Maguire has no less than 20 endorsements, and the lowest price is no less than $1.2 million.
He's crazy!
Toby Maguire suddenly said, "Juan, how are you talking to Wald pictures?"
Hearing the speech, Juan Wiggins said with a smile: "what else? Of course, they don't want to share the box office share, but we have to be tough, but we can't compromise easily. "
"Of course."
Toby Maguire raised his chin and confidently said, "I'm a good neighbor, Peter Parker! As long as they want to make money from Spiderman, they must give me what I deserve, or my good neighbor won't agree! "
He's fighting against Wald pictures.
The second watch was sent, and the minister continued to open the code.
