404 New high salary
Andy's gaffes are indeed uncommon, but anyone with a discerning eye can spot it. This is not the first time in the past six months..
The smile on Renly's lips couldn't help but slightly rise, "Didn't you expect that I could break the shackles of my image, get rid of fixed routines, and show more plasticity? This is also one of the original reasons for choosing comedy..”
“……yes! Andy felt the breath he was holding in his chest was a little depressing, "But there's no need to shave your head. It's really a big sacrifice; and now is really not a good time.".”
Actors such as Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson shave their heads because they are forced to do so, mainly for the image of a tough guy. In addition, there are very few actors in Hollywood who are willing to shave their heads, because this is absolutely fatal to the actor's appearance. The destruction of sex. Not to mention bald heads, countless actors even have Mediterranean hairstyles and try their best to retain the remaining hair roots..
This image breakthrough, the visual impact is really too fierce, even Andy can't stand it..
It was unimaginable that Renly, who was only 21 years old, suddenly became bald. Andy suddenly felt like crying. Why did he feel like he had dug a big hole and buried himself in it?.
“I've already shaved off my head before, but now it's just a further step, there's no need to worry." Renly looked calm, he was talking about the "Pacific War" period, and the issue of hairstyle really didn't matter to him. So important, "I didn't get these roles relying on my appearance. I hope I won't develop such a tradition in the future.".”
For actors, appearance is always part of the role. Just like in "Pacific War", actors can't be clean and fresh every day. This is ridiculous. For the role, they can just lie down in the mud. For a few days, my whole body stinks, but I have to persevere..
Same goes for hairstyle.
Renly doesn't think there is anything special about hairstyle. It is also part of the character. As long as it conforms to the setting, it must serve the character. Therefore, Renly never thinks that shaving his head is a problem..
But Andy's thinking is different. He is worried about "Fast and Furious 5", or to be more precise, Renly's commercial value..
The release of this work is Renly's first attempt at a commercial film, which can test Renly's commercial value and market appeal. However, at this juncture, Renly suddenly shaved his head, which for female audiences, It's really unfriendly. It's like disrupting Andy's plan..
Why can't Tom Cruise shave his head? Some experts have predicted that if Tom shaves his head, his market value may drop by half or even more, because most of his audience will be lost, and even the roles he can play will be reduced a lot. Look at Tom Han As you know, the hairstyle has been the same for twenty years and has hardly changed much..
Now, if Renly shaves his head, although his commercial value will not drop by half - whether Renly has commercial value now is still a big question mark; but what is certain is that it will definitely affect Renly's future development plan. For example, superhero movies will no longer consider him. He can't play a superhero wearing a wig and a hood, right?？
Wait, is Thor's long hair covered with a hood?？
Andy's thoughts wandered for a moment, but he quickly recovered them. He knew that Renly's words made sense..
Originally restricted by his age, the scripts Renly could choose were very limited. If he was limited to his handsome appearance, his acting career would only become narrower. After the filming of "Fighting Cancer" is completed, if nothing else happens, Renly will Will star in "Transcendence"”——
The latter doesn't mind Renly's hairstyle too much. After all, the character setting of the down-and-out teacher does not have strict requirements for hairstyle. Even if there is, there is no need to worry about it. There are still at least two months until the filming of "Transcendence" starts, and the hair will be Grow back.
Yes, hair does not disappear forever, it will still grow back. Even so, Andy still felt a little dumbfounded..
Shaking his head slightly, Andy said earnestly, "Renly, you are a handsome, funny, and charming man. Please don't be so indifferent to your appearance, okay?？”
“Then you shouldn't worry." Renly responded with a smile..
The confidence revealed in those understated words made Andy stunned. He didn't know how to refute. He could only laugh dumbly and nodded, "My bad.".”
Renly is destined to be a special actor, so he shouldn't use common sense to plan. It's his fault..
What's more, the reason why he recommended the script "Me Fighting Cancer" to Renly was not just because of Seth, nor just because of the connections Seth maintained with the Bad Boy Gang - the leader of the Bad Boy Gang Some members are clients of the Creative Artist Management Company, and Andy doesn’t need to worry..
Part of the reason is that he simply read through the first five pages of the script and talked with the screenwriter Will for nearly twenty minutes to fully understand the character. Andy believed that Renly was indeed suitable, and It also provides a platform to show off your acting skills - it's just that what he thinks is about showing off your acting skills is different from what Renly has in mind..
Thinking of this, Andy could only sigh softly, "No matter what I say, you have already made up your mind, right?" Andy rubbed his aching temples, and it was he who took the initiative to connect the "I who fight cancer" Yes, and Renly nodded in agreement, so he had no choice but to admit it..
Renly didn't smile, but Andy's helpless voice really gave him a sense of joy..
“I have already negotiated the salary." Andy quickly regained his composure and returned to business again. "Eight hundred thousand dollars, plus 5% of the box office dividend..”
Andy dropped the bombshell in an understatement.
“The crew of "Fighting Cancer" is very sincere. The budget of the crew is about 8 million. Mainly because of Seth's strong connections, they easily attracted the support of two independent production companies, and there were also three distribution companies that showed Interested, so the budget is very sufficient.
This is a work that does not require the use of computer special effects, and all the funds can be invested in the filming of the movie. Therefore, the movie is equipped with a very good cast lineup, including Anna Kendrick, who has become popular in the past two years. (Anna-Kendrick), Anjelica-Huston, who is well-known in the independent film industry, and Bryce Dallas, who hid her father Ron Howard's background and entered Hollywood on her own.……
Plus Seth Rogen and Renly Hall. For an independent movie, there is really a lot to watch..
As a producer, Seth chose not to be paid, but to participate in the film production in the form of box office dividends, which gave the actors more room for their pay..
“"I'm Fighting Cancer" found Renly at the last moment and was given the task at the critical moment. In addition, Andy hinted that Renly's schedule needed to be adjusted. Seth had no hesitation at all about the 800,000 salary and took the initiative to hand it over. 5% of the box office dividend, hoping that Andy can sign the contract as soon as possible, and then Renly will appear on the set in Seattle.
Objectively speaking, with Renly's current worth, it fluctuates between 800,000 and 1.5 million, which is a reasonable range. The salary of 800,000 is considered a normal level, neither high nor low, but considering " "I'm Fighting Cancer" is an independent small-scale production team that gives one-tenth of the salary to the lead actor, and this is considered a big deal when the other supporting actors are also paid a lot..
This is the highest salary Renly has ever received as an actor..
As for box office dividends, that’s an added bonus..
To be honest, Andy himself felt a little surprised - it was too smooth for Renly to join the ranks of box office dividends. Four consecutive works have qualified for box office dividends..
In fact, this is just a superficial phenomenon. Each of the four works has a special reason..
“"Fast and Furious 5", it was at the expense of salary, and in the power game, it suddenly found a good opportunity and opened a crack; "Crazy Love" benefited from Drake Doremus The sacrifice of Renly divided his interests to Renly; "detachment" is due to Tony Kaye's informality. Renly is actually equivalent to half a producer among the crew, and the dividend is an encouragement to him, and it is also motivation for him.
As for "Fighting Cancer", he was replaced at the last critical moment, and Renly was appointed by the other party. The box office dividend is more like compensation and reward..
What's more, the dividend ratios of the four works are not high, and three of them are independent works. The final dividend profit is estimated to be little. In summary, it may be lower than the average salary of actors of the same level as Renly. If Renly takes over commercial movies now, the box office dividends will probably still be enough..
Even so, Andy still finds it incredible that four consecutive works have qualified for box office dividends. And it has only been less than a year since Renly appeared on the big screen..
“This is a good thing, at least I don't have to worry about not being able to pay Nathan's salary." Renly's joking words revealed his relief..
Andy could tell that Renly still didn't care too much about the pay and maintained his usual style..
This made him shake his head slightly, with a helpless smile, "I will give the contract to a lawyer to review today. After confirming that there are no problems, I will send it to Nathan; then I will call Tony and tell him the schedule. It's been arranged, you should prepare for the filming of this work first..”
First it was "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo", then "Transcendence", and now "Me Fighting Cancer". In just a few days, Renly's work has undergone earth-shaking changes. In fact, what Andy didn't say was, He originally planned to get the job of the leading actor in "The Hunger Games". But now it seems that the schedule is not right, and he missed it before it started working..
“Work？”
After hanging up the phone, Renly saw Paul walking out. He had changed into the T-shirt and sweatpants that Renly had just given him, and he looked much fresher..
Renly stretched and nodded in affirmation, "It's time to start working again." The relaxed smile on his face showed his mood, "You weren't hiding in the bedroom just now, were you?" Several phone calls took Renly at least half an hour, and Paul didn't look like he was in the mood to take a shower for half an hour..
Paul laughed twice, scratched his head, and said nothing..
Renly couldn't help but laugh, "Just treat this place as your own home, there's no need to be formal." Then he stood up and said jokingly, "But that doesn't include the next period of time, because I'm going to take a bath, so you'd better Don't walk around casually.”
