[US Entertainment] Superstar

Chapter 313

Now the box office of movies is generally not very high, even if there is a high box office dividend, there is not much money.It is very good for a movie to break 5 million worldwide, but it is too difficult to reach 10 million or [-] billion.

The future 10 billion 20 billion box office dividends will be considerable.

So Eve made up her mind, she must work hard to be popular in the next ten or even 20 years, and she must not miss the prime time of box office growth.

If it suddenly gets blurred in the next few years, then it will definitely only become the tears of the times. At most, it will be brought up for discussion when recalling and taking stock of the early 2000s, and there will be no sense of existence in the rest of the time.

That's not what Eve wanted!

The best way to preserve value is to win Oscars, and every year one or two movies with good reputation and box office are produced, which are active in front of people's attention.

Many celebrities are obviously not bad, but after a short rest, they can never return to their status at that time.

Relevant resources are immediately robbed by newcomers or competitors of the same type, and if the status is unstable, they will disappear. Hollywood will use reality to teach people how to behave.

"It feels like it's easier for musicians to make money. Your old acquaintance Superboy made $4500 million last year, Britney Spears continues to be popular, Backstreet Boys are also making money, and there are various bands. There is too much difference between female singers and female singers. Far, you and Julia are the only two in the top 20, and there are only 100 actresses in the top 10."

"What about Keanu? He should be quite high."

Eve never felt that her fiancé was short of money, and it seemed that she should earn more than herself.

"He has made a lot of money. "Almost Famous" alone has earned him more than 4000 million US dollars, not to mention the total of 23 million US dollars in pure film remuneration for the two films of "The Matrix 3000." Robert was extremely envious. This is the earning power of top superstars. The next two movies haven't been released yet. If they are released, they will probably be able to reach the championship or runner-up.

Keanu signed $1000 million + 10% North American box office dividend in "Almost Famous". Currently, the film's North American box office has exceeded $3 million, which means he can get a $3000 million dividend.

At that time, no one liked the box office performance of this movie, but it turned out to be a shocking shock, and it became an unexpected dark horse in 2000. It was 3 million in North America and 5 million in the world, which was really scary.

The two sequels of "The Matrix" are even more terrifying, with a single film salary of 1500 million US dollars, plus 15% of the global box office dividend.

Forbes only calculated Keanu’s pure film remuneration when making statistics. At the same time, because there is no dividend before the film is released, and the filming is not over, the proportion obtained cannot be 3000 million US dollars. Some of the pure film remuneration will be paid when the film is released. settlement.

In addition, Keanu doesn't have many endorsements. Just an Armani men's high-end ready-to-wear and a mobile phone, each provided several million dollars in income.

That's why the income is lower than that of the Beatles, but it is also limited, ranking fourth with 6200 million US dollars.

After Eve heard about her fiancé's income, she was full of fighting spirit.

I have filmed such a few scenes in the past year, but the income I get is twice as much as my own. The gap is really obvious.

Therefore, commercial movies with high dividends are the kingly way to make money. Keanu's "Matrix" series, Cruise's "Mission: Impossible" series, Depp's "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, Robert Downey Jr.'s "Steel Heroes", "Avengers" series, Will Smith's "Men in Black" series, Harrison Ford's "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "Star Wars" series, their appallingly high incomes are actually box office dividends If you get it, the producer doesn't have that much money for pure film remuneration.

Eve now has two possible series of films, "Shrek" and "Legal Blonde", but it may be difficult for these two films to break through in the total box office, and she needs to develop her own series of commercial films.

"At first, I thought I could have the money to support Keanu, but I didn't expect him to be so rich." Eve sighed secretly. If she wanted to earn more than her fiancé, she didn't know when she would have to wait.

Robert on the other end of the phone said: "Basically, your income can't rely on commercial endorsements to increase your income. At most, you can increase the luxury car endorsements promised by MGM. It is close to saturation. If there are more, it will cause negative effects. Unless you sign Endorsements in some other countries, not released in the United States."

"Can it still be like this?"

"It's normal because top stars seldom do commercials. You see Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise don't have commercial endorsements. Leonardo has commercials but they are filmed and aired in Japan. Local There are almost no commercials for them here, and many people accept overseas commercials. Many celebrities in the 90s went to Japan to shoot commercials, because there was a lot of money there, and they were only broadcast within Japan.”

"Sounds good, shooting commercials in Japan."

Unexpectedly, Robert gloated and said: "If you look at the commercials shot by Schwarzenegger and Stallone, Harrison Ford, George Clooney and Bruce Willis, it is estimated that there will be a big change in thinking. It would be a shame if those commercials aired in North America."

Eve immediately thought of Bob, the hero in her "Lost in Translation", a Hollywood star experiencing a mid-life crisis, who traveled thousands of miles to Tokyo to shoot a whiskey commercial.

"Because the income gap between male actors and actresses is very large, everyone has stricter requirements on top-tier male stars. If they shoot commercials, it is basically a sign of lack of money, and it is easy to be linked to the brand. In this case, they Either don’t shoot it, or shoot some commercials that Americans can’t see.”

"It's much more normal for an actress to receive commercial endorsements, but they must also be endorsements that meet their status. Accepting some top brand endorsements will help increase their social status and reputation."

If actresses can't even accept advertising endorsements, the funds for dresses, cosmetics, and jewelry are enough to overwhelm them all.

Therefore, what Robert and Evan helped Eve receive were all top brands, and they would not hold back the kind of advertisements that would hold her back.

If a certain endorser prints Eve's head or likeness on the package, or plays it on TV in a loop, CAA's agents will probably faint with anger.

Now all the advertising endorsements will not have that kind of overexposure, at most there are a few posters in the store.

Movie stars still maintain the tradition, try not to expose if they can, and let the audience pay to go to the cinema to see them.

……

Every year, the announcement of the Forbes Celebrity List will make various media and gossip crowds very happy.

Although those income figures and rankings are not 100% accurate, they still look very intuitive, because Forbes is the more authoritative one in making rankings.

This year George Lucas's strong climb to the top is beyond everyone's imagination, but it makes sense after second thought. After all, it is normal for a national IP like "Star Wars" to make money.

The global box office alone is [-] million U.S. dollars, and the revenue from VCDs, tapes, and derivative products also has this figure. Lucasfilm earns a lot of money.

The Beatles' No. [-] best hits hit was still to be expected, and the band was nothing short of a legend within a legend.

Compared with male celebrities, there is a huge gap between female celebrities. Not one female director was shortlisted, and there were only a few actresses.

Among these actors, Eve's name and ranking seem particularly conspicuous. She is the youngest among the top [-] and also the one with the shortest debut time.

Netizens were all surprised when they saw the list and numbers.

Eve's ascent speed is really too fast!

In fact, many people are slow to accept information and have not yet reacted to her rise.

"How long has she been acting in movies, and her income is so high."

"Wait, Eve has acted in so many good movies this year?"

"No wonder I can make so much money, all of which are blockbuster movies."

Among the movie salaries and estimated dividends listed by Forbes, netizens discovered that Eve has starred in so many wonderful movies and the most anticipated movie next year.

It perfectly avoids bad movies, and almost all the movies selected have various strengths and advantages.

It was relatively quiet at the beginning of the year, but the Cannes Film Festival began to take off in May. "Mulholland Drive" has already been regarded as a masterpiece by many movie fans. After watching it repeatedly, there are new discoveries almost every time.

It is very difficult to be able to act in such a classic film. In the list, Eve is even a producer and enjoys various dividends.

Don't look at Eve's box office dividends from so many movies, but in fact, most of the actresses get a fixed salary, and few of them get dividends.

She is entirely a coincidence this time, and it is also a dividend from director and producer David Lynch.If David Lynch had been stingier, he would not have given Eve these incomes at all.

Of course, there is another important reason because of Eve's claim that TV has changed into a movie. Under such circumstances, it is impossible to change the heroine.

Eve didn't sign a contract with the film crew of "Mulholland Drive", so whether it was out of favor or profit considerations, the heroine had to be kept.

The hard work at the beginning has paid off, the movie was a big success, David Lynch obviously has no public relations, and the popularity is very high during the awards season, and he is even expected to win Otis again.

In addition, "Almost Famous" and "Legal Blonde" were big hits at the end of the year. In the middle, Eve also made a blockbuster "The Bourne" of Universal Pictures, each of which is well-known.

"Looking forward to Eve's new movie, she really has no shortcomings in all aspects."

"The global box office monoclonal antibody is 3 million US dollars, the best among contemporary actresses."

"At first, I thought there was a problem with this number, but after reading Eve's works, I found that this number is really not an exaggeration. She deserves such a high salary."

"Actually, she is the most diligent of all the actors on the list."

"Yes, Eve has made so many movies by herself. Her salary and dividends are not top-notch. You see, her fiancé can get 3000 million dollars in salary and profits in "Almost Famous", but she only has 100 million dollars. Wanchun remuneration."

"I like Eve so much!"

Just when everyone felt that Eve deserved her name, a netizen left a message saying: "Let's just say, Forbes seems to have missed the statistics of commercial endorsements. I saw Eve's new one when I was passing by in Manhattan today. advertise."

Now, the netizens and fans are going crazy. Is it possible that Eve's ranking can actually be higher?
