"Hollywood Begins with Animation ()" Find the latest chapter!

The contract of Captain Jack in the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean" and its actor John Nidepp was signed within a few days.

Good news one by one!

The other actor contracts of the film "Pirates of the Caribbean" crew have also been finalized one by one. The first is the director candidate, the original director Gore Verbinski, who was chosen without any hesitation.

Director's salary: $1.6 million.

Before taking over the "Pirates of the Caribbean" project, Gore Verbinski already had a number of masterpieces such as "The Mousetrap" and "The American Version of Midnight".

However, his directorial salary is worth $1.6 million.

That's still an overpriced price tag!

Don't be too little!

After all, the director is a behind-the-scenes worker, and it is normal for the overall salary level to be lower than that of the actors standing in front of the screen.

In 2017, the movie "Wonder Woman" was released, and once it was released, it became popular all over the world.

2nd at the North American box office and 7th at the global box office. …

Global box office tops $800 million....

This box-office hit movie made countless outsiders think that the film's female director, Patty Jenkins, must have received a lot of money.

However... her salary is only $1 million!

It's even lower than the average salary for a director of a Hollywood comic book movie - $1.5 million to $3 million per movie.

And usually, the money also needs to be divided between the director and the agency she belongs to according to the contract.

Therefore, Gore Verbinski served as the director of the "Pirates of the Caribbean 1" movie, and the director's fee of 1.6 million US dollars is actually not low, which is completely in line with the market price.

Gore Verbinski himself was also satisfied with the $1.6 million salary.

In his words: "My God! The highest production cost of a movie I've ever made in my life was $20 million, and now I can direct a movie like Pirates of the Caribbean that cost as much as $140 million. , can I ask for more?"

"You can wake up laughing from a dream!"

For the first film in the series, he was not eligible for an equal dialogue with Wald Pictures.

......

Little Blacksmith: Weltner.

The second male character in the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean".

"My God! Orlando, you're going to be red!!!"

Agent Avery looked at the actor Orlando Bloom with excitement and said, "Man, this is a Wald Films movie! It's a $140 million A-level first-tier commercial production that many people don't even think about. Dare to think about things, and you can actually participate in it, and you are still the second male!"

He was already incoherent with excitement.

No way, after all, this is a big production from Wald Pictures.

Although the agent Avery is a member of the management industry giant CAA, his status is really average, he can't compare with those famous agents, and now the artist under his own name has encountered such a good thing...

Totally a pie from the sky!

"Man, are you sure it's not April Fool's Day?"

Orlando Bloom himself was very surprised, he felt in a dream.

Orlando is very handsome and is known as a "prosperous beauty", but as of now, he is only a young actor who has just debuted, and he does not have any representative works.

Well, Lord of the Rings 1 hasn't been released yet.

The role of Legolas, the elf prince played by Orlando, has not yet entered the public eye.

"The contract has been sent, a trilogy contract. Although the first film's salary is only $500,000, which is a bit low, but we can't miss it, after all, there are too many people who want to compete for this role. ." The agent increased his tone.

"Um!"

Orlando Bloom nodded: "I know, I won't miss it."

the next day.

Orlando signed his name on the "Pirates of the Caribbean" contract.

After Zucker saw the copy of the contract,

The first time could not help but happy.

"Before the release of "The Lord of the Rings 1", the Orlando contract was finalized, which was undoubtedly a big bargain. I remember that in the original time and space, Orlando was completely popular in North America with the role of the elf prince Legolas and became a popular fried chicken in Hollywood. , a top-notch presence, and eventually got a $7 million salary to join the crew of "Pirates of the Caribbean."

"Now, it's only $500,000, what more can I ask for? Hehe!"

Are you calculating?

Zhu Ke said disdainfully: "Isn't that the case with the capitalist? Whoever wants to take advantage of it will take it, and I will make a swollen face and become a fat man!"

......

"Pirates of the Caribbean" actress Elizabeth Swan played by Keira Knightley.

Its pay is lower.

Only a mere $150,000!

Said to be the heroine of a $140 million production, in fact, the role of Elizabeth Swan is a vase role, and anyone can do it.

Zuckerberg wanted to replace her, who would find some beautiful actresses to play.

But what... Keira Knightley has a solid family!

She brought money into the group!

Now that Elizabeth Swan can play the role of the vase, and she has spent a lot of money, can Zucker ask for more? Naturally, with a big wave of her hand, she agreed to become the heroine.

In Hollywood, this kind of actor who can bring money into the group is an existence that every production company welcomes with both hands!

......

a few days later.

Wald Pictures continues to make official announcements!

The "Spider-Man 2" movie officially started shooting and entered the shooting cycle;

The "Harry Potter 2" movie was officially approved, and shooting will begin soon;

"Pirates of the Caribbean" movie enters the preparatory period;

The production costs of the three films are $160 million, $150 million, and $140 million, for a total of $450 million.

The tool is a first-line A-class commercial production!

As soon as the news came out, the whole country was shocked.

The media reporters needless to say, they immediately launched a series of reports.

Hollywood counterparts, well, the major studios can't sit still.

"What can I say? I must be envious!"

Patrick, the president of Summit Entertainment, said sourly: "Since the establishment of Summit Entertainment in 1993, the largest investment in a movie, the production cost of which is only 20 million US dollars."

Can he be envious?

Since Summit Entertainment was established nearly 10 years ago, its total investment in movies has also been less than 200 million US dollars. It is of course sad to see that Wald Pictures is so generous now.

At the same time, he felt a little regretful.

"Mr. Zucker Wald once proposed to acquire Summit Entertainment, why did I refuse it at that time?"

In fact, Patrick is not alone in the envy.

Touchstone Pictures, Searchlight Pictures, Emperor Gate Pictures, Lionsgate Pictures, Miramax...

Which of these Hollywood second- and third-tier film companies is not envious, jealous, and hateful? Why don't they want to spend a lot of money making movies, but they can't!

" "The second is sent.
