[US Entertainment] Superstar

Chapter 302 Golden Ball 3 mentions

MGM really took a fancy to Eve's box office ability. If she can be the new Bond girl, it will definitely make 007 glow with a different kind of vitality after entering No.20.

The producer of the film is already preparing to contact CAA to see the preliminary intention and quotation first, but he is not too anxious about the specific contract.

Things are developing in the direction predicted by CAA's high-level executives, because Eve is indeed good enough, absolutely outstanding.

As long as the brain is not sick, the other people will not be chosen under the same conditions.

Other film companies are already preparing to cooperate with Eve, not to mention that MGM is enjoying the benefits brought by Eve, and wants to seize the cash cow.

Perhaps Evan and Robert didn't expect that MGM would directly tie up the two movie contracts.

"Legally Blonde" seems to have a good reputation at the box office, and the heroine has just graduated from college. The audience is very curious about what ridiculous things will happen to her after she officially enters the workplace, so a sequel is definitely imperative.

And "Bond 20" is also straightforward, directly promising the heroine, willing to let the screenwriter write the script according to Eve's characteristics and reasonable requirements, and almost everything in terms of treatment is in line with Pierce Brosnan.

Including the fact that Eve is different from the past [-] Bond girls during the promotion, and Eve's profile picture on the poster will not be smaller than Pierce, etc.

Although these two actors belong to the same company, there will definitely be conflicts in terms of position and treatment. That is when the agents fight each other.

Pierce Brosnan's role as James Bond has been widely acclaimed, and his net worth has naturally risen again and again. Not only does a single film cost tens of millions, but he also accepts a lot of advertising endorsements as Bond.

Of course, MGM also drew a lot of money from these advertising endorsements. Who told Pierce to sign such a content in the original contract, both the CAA and the copyright owner of the character had to take a cut.

Like Bond Girls, there is naturally no such restriction, and there is no need to hand over advertising revenue to MGM.

At this time, Eve didn't know that her two managers silently increased the offer after seeing MGM's attitude.

Not only did he not accept the contract that bundled the two films, but he also called out a sky-high contract of 2 million US dollars and 1000% of the global box office for "Legal Blonde 10".

This treatment actually seemed exaggerated, but when I saw Eve's contribution to the box office of the movie, I felt it was very normal.

Usually when filming a sequel, the salary of actors has to be doubled, sometimes even more than ten times.

When Eve filmed "Legal Blonde" before, it was only 500 million US dollars and 5% of the North American box office dividend. Now 1000 million US dollars is normal, and even 1500 million US dollars is not an exaggeration.

But the CAA agency pays more attention to box office dividends, so they would rather reduce some of the pure film remuneration, but also ensure that Eve can get enough box office dividends.

Similarly, Evan and Robert knew Pierce Brosnan's salary figure in "Bond 20" was $1600 million through the company's relationship, which allowed them to offer a figure of $1500 million.

Acting in commercial films is to make money and gain popularity. If you can't get both, then who will act for free?

Moreover, the difference of 100 million US dollars also saved Pierce some face. After all, he is the real leading actor in the movie. He has acted in several 007 movies to get the current box office. Bianhui strongly opposed Eve's joining.

The hero's power is actually quite large, so there's no point in competing with him.

An actor's $1600 million is not considered a top salary, but an actress' $1500 million is the current top salary.

At present, there is no actress in Hollywood who can enter the $2000 million club, even Julia Roberts has not yet reached this level, unless she wins the Oscar this year and then adds some resume to herself.

The rest of the top actresses are already top-notch if they can get a salary of 1000 million US dollars, and they will all be reported by the media.

Evan knows that it is easier for Eve to get box office dividends in small and medium-budget movies, but it is too difficult to get box office dividends in big-budget movies.

Dodgy producers would rather give a high pure film salary than share the box office proceeds.

What's more, the male lead didn't get a box office dividend, and the female lead was basically impossible.

If this negotiation can be successful, then Eve will definitely be the highest paid Bond girl in history!

Inflation accounts for one reason, and the popularity of actors accounts for another.

If Eve appears in the movie, the goal is not to be the foil and green leaf of the hero, but to be the one who can share the world with Bond.

Therefore, Eve will not sign a contract rashly at all, but plans to sign a letter of intent and a priority agreement. The formal contract must be signed only if the script is satisfactory.Otherwise, it would be easy to be coaxed. After she signed the contract, she would come up with an unsatisfactory script to shoot, and then it would be troublesome to argue.

Such things happen endlessly, many celebrities have been tricked, but in the end they can only grit their teeth and swallow their stomachs with blood, because if there is a quarrel, they may be said to be playing big names, and they will be banned by the studio.

Of course, it is easy to offend the studio if you don’t sign a contract to read the script. If you change it once or twice, it’s okay, but if you’re still not satisfied after changing the script ten times and eight times, it’s clear that you don’t want to make this movie and waste the studio’s time. Like energy, it will also be blocked.

If the reputation spreads, it will definitely be blacklisted in the industry. No one wants to cooperate with such an artist unless he can bring enough income.

……

In the restaurant, Charlize Theron and Eve looked at the dishes on the table and just tasted the taste, not daring to let go of their stomachs to eat.

"Director Cameron still thinks I'm a bit fat, so I've been on a diet to lose weight recently." Charlize said helplessly, pulling her hair. The baby fat on her face had long since disappeared, revealing sex- sense of breath.

Eve sighed, and used a fork to pick up a piece of kale from the plate, "I'll accompany you, don't worry."

Obviously there are delicacies, but the staple food can only choose vegetable salads, and you have to calculate calories and calories when you eat anything.At the same time, dieting alone is not enough, you must go to the gym to exercise, otherwise it will be easy to rebound.

"I'm more psychologically balanced now, thank you for coming out with me." Charlize Theron continued to add: "Because of my performance in "Legally Blonde", now I have many more movie invitations. Never I thought that one day I would also have a headache because of too many scripts."

In the movie, she played the female fitness star who was framed. Everyone didn't believe her and thought she was a murderer. Only Ellie, played by Eve, felt that she was wronged, so she tried her best to help reverse the case.

Charlize is very suitable for heavy makeup, and in addition to playing a celebrity in the movie, with flaming red lips, blond hair, and a fit body, there is a sense of maturity and sexiness exuding.

Although Eve wore a bunny costume in "Legal Blonde", she took the route of a pink and tender girl as a whole, so compared with Charlize, she looks a bit like a little white rabbit.

Neither of them could have imagined that this movie would become a common material edited by netizens in later generations, especially in Jiquan.

"What's the script now? Wait until you have more scripts in two years. Then you have to be more cautious." Eve didn't know if Charlize would win the Oscar in this life.

But she hopes that Charlize must make a good choice after winning the Oscar, otherwise a commercial blockbuster hitting the street will be enough to destroy the Oscar halo.

Others don't know, but Halle Berry made "Catwoman" after winning the award, and Charlize Theron made "Wonder Woman" after winning the award. In my heart, I cut off the opportunity to star in commercial blockbusters in the future.

They are not Nicole Kidman, after every movie hits the street, the studio pays a lot of money to invite her to star in the film; nor is it Julia Roberts, who has a strong background and can immediately make a romantic comedy to rejuvenate after hitting the street .

Charlize didn't know what Eve's order meant at this time, but nodded habitually.

It's inconvenient for Eve to say more at this time. If she and I are still friends by then, I will remind her at that time, and no matter how much I say now, I will be forgotten.

Just as the two were grazing and chatting, Eve's cell phone rang suddenly.

It made her feel doubly rude, it was rude.

But Robert's name was written on the caller ID, which made her embarrassed to hang up, so she could only say: "Sorry, I'm going to the bathroom to answer the manager's call."

"Go ahead, maybe there is something urgent." Charlize replied understandingly.

Eve got up immediately, took her mobile phone and came to the women's bathroom. She walked into the cubicle and stood next to the toilet and asked in a low voice, "Robert, I'm having lunch with my friends. Is there anything important?"

Robert on the other end of the phone had already pulled off his tie, and replied in a voice that was too excited: "Today is the day when the nominations are announced for the Golden Globe Awards. Congratulations, you have won three nominations!"

"Three nominations? Are you sure? How did I get so many nominations?"

Eve is really confused. During the awards season, she usually only has one nomination for Best Supporting Actress, but occasionally she is nominated for Best Supporting Actress for "Mulholland Drive". Mistaken?

"You are the one with the most individual nominations in this year's nomination list. You were nominated for Best Actress in a Drama Series for "Mulholland Drive", and you were nominated for Best Supporting Actress for "Almost Famous". Legally Blonde is nominated for Best Actress in a Musical Comedy!"

"Legally Blonde was actually nominated?"

It was released very late, and it officially landed in theaters across the United States on December 12, and it has only been more than ten days until now.

Neither MGM nor CAA gave it a public relations award, but the Golden Globes gave such a big surprise!
