"Hollywood starts with animation ( to find the latest chapters!

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

Good news one by one!

Contracts for other actors in the film "Pirates of the Caribbean" have also been finalized one after another. The first is the selection of directors. The original director, Gore Wibinski, was chosen unwillingly.

Director’s remuneration: $1.6 million.

Before taking over the "Pirates of the Caribbean" project, Gore Wibinski had already produced many masterpieces such as "The Rat Catching" and "The Midnight Bell in the US".

However, his director's remuneration is worth 1.6 million US dollars.

This is still a far more open price!

Don't be too small!

After all, the director is a behind-the-scenes worker, and it is normal that the overall salary level is 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.

The North American box office ranks second and the global box office ranks seventh...

The global box office surpassed 800 million U.S. dollars...

This kind of box-office movie has made countless people think that the female director of the film, Patty Jenkins, must have won a lot of money.

However... her salary is only 1 million US dollars!

It is even lower than the average salary level of Hollywood comic film directors-$1.5 million to $3 million per film.

And usually, the money needs to be shared by the director and her agency according to the contract.

So Gore Wibinski is the director of the "Pirates of the Caribbean 1" movie. The director's fee is $1.6 million, which is actually not low and fully meets the market price.

Gore Wibinski himself is also very satisfied with the $1.6 million remuneration.

In his words: "My God! The highest production cost of a movie I have made in my life is only 20 million US dollars. Now I can direct a movie like "Pirates of the Caribbean 1" with a production cost of 140 million US dollars. , Can I ask for more?"

"You can wake up with a smile in your dreams!"

In the first film of the series, he was not qualified to have an equal dialogue with Wald Pictures.

......

Little blacksmith: Wiltner.

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

"My God! Orlando, you are going to be popular!!!"

Agent Avery looked at the actor Orlando Bloom with excitement and said, "Man, this is a Wald Pictures movie! The $140 million Class A first-line commercial production, so many people don’t even think about it. Things you dare to think about, and you can participate in it, and you are still the second male number!"

He was already incoherent with excitement.

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

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

It's a pie in the sky!

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

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

Orlando is very handsome and is known as the "Beauty in the Flourishing Age", but as of now, he is just a young actor who has just debuted, and there is no masterpiece.

Well, "The Lord of the Rings 1" has not yet been released.

The part of the fairy prince Legolas played by Orlando has not yet entered the public eye.

"The contract has been sent, the trilogy contract. Although the first film is only 500,000 US dollars, it is a little 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.

"Ok!"

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

The next day.

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

After seeing the copy of the contract, Zhu Ke was immediately happy.

"Before the "Lord of the Rings 1" was released, 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 fairy prince Legolas, and became Hollywood's popular fried chicken. , A top-notch existence, and finally got 7 million US dollars in remuneration to join the crew of "Pirates of the Caribbean"."

"Now, it's only half a million dollars, what else can I ask for? Haha!"

Do you care about it?

Zhu Ke disdainfully said, "Isn't that the case with the capitalist? Whoever loves to be the one who is taking the wronged will do it, and I will be swollen and fattened!"

......

Keira Knightley, the heroine of "Pirates of the Caribbean" Elizabeth Swan.

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 Swann is a vase-like role, anyone can do it.

Zhu Ke wanted to replace her, so anyone would find some beautiful actresses to play.

However... Keira Knightley has a solid family base!

She brought money into the group!

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

In Hollywood, this kind of actor who can bring money into the group ~www.novelmtl.com~ is a welcome presence of every production company with their hands!

......

A few days later.

Wald Pictures continues to announce the news!

The filming of "Spider-Man 2" officially started and entered the filming cycle;

The movie "Harry Potter 2" was officially established, and filming will begin soon;

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

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

Gu is a first-line Class A commercial production!

As soon as the news came out, the United States was a sensation.

The media reporters needless to say, they started a series of reports for the first time.

My colleagues in Hollywood, 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 Summit Entertainment was founded in 1993, it has invested in the largest movie, and its production cost is only 20 million US dollars."

Can he not envy it?

Over the past 10 years since Summit Entertainment was founded, its total investment in movies has also been less than 200 million US dollars. Seeing that Wald Pictures is so aggressive now, of course it will be sad.

At the same time, he faintly regretted it.

"Once Mr. Zhuke Wald proposed to acquire Summit Entertainment, why did I refuse it?"

In fact, Patrick is not the only one who admires.

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

These Hollywood second-tier and third-tier film companies, which one is not envy, jealous and hate? Why don't they want to invest heavily in making movies, but they can't do it!

"" The second update is sent.

Today’s update was a bit late, I apologize to everyone again~~
