Chapter 65 Business Activities
Eve's salary can be described as a triple jump, from the $5 salary for shooting the "ByeByeBye" MV, to the $20 for "Death Comes", and then to the $100 for "Missing Soul Girl", and now "Almost Famous" Directly [-] million US dollars, in less than half a year, the growth that many actors dream of is achieved.
It's just that there is no charge for the TV pilot episode of "Mulholland Drive", which is also what Eve can impress ABC and David Lynch.A dignified movie heroine not only meets all the requirements, but is willing not to be paid. Of course, this kind of actor has to accept it!
Otherwise, Eve needs to be paid at least one hundred thousand or even hundreds of thousands of dollars for this episode.
Now Eve finally understands why young boys and girls all over the world want to enter Hollywood one after another. As long as they become famous and make money, it is not a problem at all!
Fortunately, there was a brokerage company to help with the negotiation. Robert always seized the opportunity to increase the salary bit by bit, making full use of the advantages and conditions, and did not waste the chance of "Reaper Coming" to explode at the box office.
Even so, Robert is still a little dissatisfied: "It's a pity that the signing time is too close, otherwise, after Halloween, I can get another 20 dollars more for this film."
Her salary is considered above average in "Almost Famous". The highest paid actor in the crew is not the leading actor Patrick Fugit, but the second leading actor Keanu Reeves, followed by the Oscar queen Francis McDormand.
The salaries of the rest are basically the same. On the contrary, Anna Paquin, who played the role of Policia’s gap-tooth girl, got 200 million dollars. And the heroine!
"It's good to be able to earn $100 million. When we make the next film, we will improve slowly." Although Eve has an insatiable enterprising spirit, she is unwilling to aim too high, otherwise she may fall down.
Robert exhorted and said: "After the remuneration is paid out, I suggest you hire a professional financial planner to plan the remuneration for you."
Many celebrities worked hard to make money when they were popular, and developed the habit of being extravagant, but once they fell down or passed away, they were soon on the verge of bankruptcy.
Buying a luxury house, buying a private jet, buying a yacht, buying a luxury car, buying expensive red wine, even extravagance and waste for decoration, being fascinated by the so-called art collection, paying ex-husband or ex-wife alimony, etc., as long as you have money, there are too many People and companies will rush over to help the stars spend money.
Robert doesn't want to see Eve live that kind of extravagant life that costs money like water. It's definitely okay to enjoy it properly, but too much luxury will obviously kill an actor's aggressiveness.
"Don't worry, I won't spend money recklessly. I have bought most of the money in Apple's stock. If you believe me, you can also buy some appropriately. The stock price is only more than two yuan now." Eve Properly reminded.
Now there is an opportunity to make a fortune in front of Robert, whether he will regret it in the future is up to him.
"Buy Apple stock?" Robert was very surprised. "Are you crazy? This company is about to go bankrupt. What's worth investing in?"
"I'm not investing in this company, I'm investing in Steven Jobs."
Now the technology stocks on Nasdaq are quite popular, and the stock prices of various companies are skyrocketing, especially the Internet such as Microsoft and Yahoo. The entire market value is driven by the Internet sector and related fields to continue to grow rapidly.
Not only securities companies, venture capitalists, but also various small investors are waving money to enter the Internet sector. According to rumors, the Super Bowl to be held in January next year has attracted sponsorship from more than 1 Internet companies. Every 17 seconds of advertising is worth 30 yuan. Ten thousand U.S. dollars.
The stock price of Apple, which Eve invested in before, has risen for ten days in a row, from $2 to around $3, and has been growing continuously. After the release of products such as ipod, iPhoouch, and iMac, there may be opportunities to come To $30, $300.
Robert didn't directly refuse. After he brought Eve out, his income also increased a lot, and now he has some money in his hands. "Let me consult the account manager of the securities company."
Compared to Eve, he believed in professionals more.
"Whatever you want, don't miss a chance to become a millionaire." Eve suddenly felt that she was a bit like a lottery ticket seller or a stock seller. This tone sounded like a sales pitch.
Robert didn't expect to diverge so much from the topic of salary. He waved his hands and said, "Let's continue to talk about business. The call I made just now was from the producer of New Line Pictures. They want to sign with you for "Reaper 2" film appointment."
Before the movie was released, no one thought that the movie would explode to the point where it is now. It is normal for a sequel to be put on the agenda.It's just that it is impossible to sign Eve with 5 US dollars.
She now costs $100 million to star in a literary film, and it is only possible to double that in a commercial film.
However, Eve hesitated: "Actually, I don't want to act in the sequel, and I don't want me to be completely bound to "Death Comes" directly. It is enough to appear in one horror movie, and if I continue to act, others will think my name is Claire. .”
"Actually, I personally think it's a good thing that you don't appear in the sequel. Now you can play many different roles and appear in different movies, but if you stay in horror thrillers, you will be fixed." Robert and Eve have very different opinions Unanimous, knowing that what the other party wants is a wider world, rather than sticking to the three-acre land of horror movies.
Eve nodded in agreement. Her manager was pretty good, and she didn't persuade her to bow her head for the pay.
Seeing Eve's softened attitude, Robert suggested: "New Line Films' films are generally very good, and there may be opportunities for cooperation in the future. It's not suitable to make the relationship stiff with them. How about this, Although you won't be starring in the sequel, let's make a guest appearance in it, and I will fight for you to play a special role with and or with on the poster."
Special starring is basically a term specially customized for celebrities and big names. They are not the protagonists of the movie, but they are just playing tricks in the movie to give face to the entire crew.These special stars are usually well-known and can attract the attention of the media and movie fans, adding a bit of heat to the film.
"It's a good idea, let Claire die in "Reaper 2", which can not only reflect the horror of Reaper, but also give me a perfect reason to leave this movie."
"Then I'll discuss it with the producer Zide and ask the screenwriter to properly handle Claire's exit."
It's actually normal for a horror movie to let the protagonist of the previous one die.
Eve pointed to the magazine shooting column on the work schedule with some doubts, "What magazine asked me to shoot?"
Anyway, she knew very well in her heart that it shouldn't be vogue or something like that, she hadn't reached that point yet.The current American version of "Vogue" basically only has opportunities for supermodels and top actresses, and many models are still waiting.
"Gmour (Glamour) asked you to shoot the inside page, which is your first contact with the fashion circle. This magazine has a large circulation, and it attracts readers to buy more than many pure fashion magazines."
However, the fashion magazines in Eve's memory are basically only "Vogue", "Marie Cire", "Harper's BAZAAR", "Elle" (World Fashion Garden), etc., almost never heard of Gmour, perhaps because it does not have a Chinese version.
Now she hurried to the computer and searched for related content on Gmour, but was taken aback by the horrible circulation. In the US, the first issue sold 400-500 million copies, while in the UK it remained at 80-100. [-] copies, surpassing the sales volume of many top fashion magazines.
It's just a little weaker in terms of authority, and closer to the readers themselves.
"Gmour" belongs to the famous Condé Nast Group, and belongs to the same company as Vogue, GQ, Vanity Fair, The New Yorker, and Wired.
Vogue and Elle pay more attention to clothing, MarieCire is a little more serious, and Gmour combines clothing, beauty and celebrity news, which just meets the needs of readers!
Each issue of the magazine contains content related to trends, as well as introducing fashion and dressing styles, as well as makeup and maintenance, and celebrity entertainment.
I read entertainment gossip while reading fashion magazines. No wonder consumers in the UK and the US like it very much. One of the most popular sections is editors commenting on what celebrities wear for a week. Watching editors comment on dressing models and fashion with spicy words Disasters are very interesting.
One of the forums that Eve will be on is the famous Weekly Street Shooting, which mixes "street shooting, celebrity interviews, and fashion" together.
"Famous fashion photographer Nigel Barker will shoot you, and the clothes will be provided by Versace. This time you can be included in the inside page of "Gmour" magazine thanks to Versace's public relations department. The other day you wore a Versace red dress. During the red carpet screening, the response of the red carpet photos was very good. Many fashion bloggers and people in the fashion circle listed that group of red carpet photos as the top ten red carpet looks of the year. You helped Versace get a lot of attention, so They pushed this shoot."
The recent entertainment industry is lacking. It just so happens that "Reaper" has exploded at the box office, and Eve's red carpet photos have been published on various websites and newspapers, which can be regarded as helping Versace win a lot of attention.
It just so happens that the brand image of Versace has been unstable in the past two years, and exposure and applause are urgently needed.
The founder of the brand, Gianni Versace, was assassinated in Miami two years ago, causing Versace’s listing plan to be stranded directly, and the group began a long process of losses. This story was also filmed into a film called "American Crime Story 2: Assassination of Versace "American drama.
After Gianni's younger sister Donatella-Versace took over the brand, although she has been working hard to create designs, she can't compare with when she was in full success.
Gianni is very good at playing the celebrity card. He once designed clothing for Princess Diana, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Madonna, Stallone, boxing champion Tyson, Kate Moss and others, bringing the celebrity effect to the extreme.
Donatella also wants to follow the same route after inheriting the creative rights of Versace. However, it is difficult to appear in the scene where stars and supermodels gather, so he will focus on potential new talents in the entertainment industry, such as Eve Campbell.
Centipede is dead but not stiff. Versace cannot sponsor Eve to be on the cover and inside page of Vogue magazine, but it is not difficult to push her to be on the inside page of Gmour. CAA can also help at this time. It is not for nothing to ask Eve 10% remuneration.
Female stars usually need to be linked with fashion, even if they can't become fashion i, no one wants to become a disaster on the red carpet.
Eve just appeared in front of the media and the public. She is still a fresh face. It is the best time to shape her image. If she misses it, she will have to work hard to make up for it.
In the past, she had only seen other people's photos appearing in fashion magazines. This time, she finally had the opportunity to try it herself. Of course, she was very excited.
Robert had a lot of things to do today, and he didn't let go of Eve's posture: "I have one more thing I want to clarify with you. Do you reject commercial advertisements?"
"Of course I don't reject advertising, but I may be picky about the type and quality of advertising endorsements." Eve is now a quasi-millionaire, and she can remove the quasi-words when she gets all the salary for "Almost Famous". I don't want to endorse some tasteless and worthless products to lower my grade.
"FMCG and cosmetics should be fine, right? Cover Girl is looking for a spokesperson for their new mascara. I can contact you if you want, but judging from your current situation, the endorsement fee may not be too high .”
"The cosmetics I used when I was in college were Cover Girls. If this kind of cheap cosmetics is endorsed, it should be advertised throughout North America, right?" The opportunity to brush your face inside is not to be missed.
Cover girl (cirl) is the largest-selling makeup brand in the United States. It is mainly sold in large supermarkets, drugstores, daily necessities stores and special counters. It is very popular because of its affordable price.
What girl didn't wear Covergirl makeup when she was young?
This brand has always been pursuing endorsements by supermodels and celebrities. Recently, Eve saw Drew Barrymore's profile picture appearing in the streets and alleys because she endorsed Cover Girl's products.
What Eve lacks now is exposure. If she can sign an endorsement contract with Cover Girl, it will help her earn enough exposure among girls in North America.
Anyway, now big brands like Estee Lauder will not seek their own endorsement, why not cooperate with the cover girl and borrow each other's fame.
Robert appreciates Eve's current attitude, he doesn't have too high aspirations, and he only wants to get high-end endorsements such as luxury goods, "It happens that you are going to do street photography with Nigel and put it on the inside page of Gmour, I will ask the business manager of Cover Girl , to see if they are willing to sponsor your makeup look for this street shoot, if the effect of the inside page shoot is very good, there should be no problem in cooperation, I am particularly optimistic about your fashion expression!"
"I have this thing?" Eve didn't realize how fashionable she was. She couldn't even name a few well-known designers, and she wasn't familiar with related magazines.
"Anyway, your usual overall look is great, very unique, and looks very comfortable." Robert patted the stack of scripts, "I'll take the scripts away first, and come down after you take a shower, and go to Columbia to sign the contract together."
