Chapter 637 Smoke bombs and real cards
"Indeed, when I took over the role of "Sol", Marvel only paid me $200,000, and my agent and family were very dissatisfied with this."
With $200,000, Chris seemed to be able to see the eyes of the girls around him looking at him, full of surprise.
Even if you don’t understand the price of Hollywood’s internal celebrity pay, this amount of money is really not worthy of Chris Hemsworth’s current identity.
Marvel, which is vaguely famous with several major Hollywood companies, is also so sucking blood when dealing with the actors they cooperate with.
"This is so inappropriate, $200,000..." In desperation, Jin Yilin couldn't help but speak, and then realized that she had said the wrong thing and covered her mouth again.
"Shh~" Pei Zhuxuan gave her a sharp look. It would be lucky that they could sit on the side and listen to it in such an occasion, so how could they get stuck in their mouths?
Besides, being able to know so much about the Hollywood movie industry can satisfy my curiosity.
200,000 US dollars is only 200 million in Korean won. It seems to be a lot. In Korean, this is the amount that many general artists can earn, let alone those actors.
Perhaps there are no outsiders here, so I don’t mind Jin Yilin’s diss Chris, and just smiled with a self-deprecating smile.
"girl...You're right. Many of my friends around me were angry when they heard that I only had this salary for participating in "Sol", and they thought that Marvel was using us as beggars, but... even if we regretted it, it would be useless.
In Hollywood, although many people look down on "superheroes", many people are eager to cooperate with Marvel. Today, Marvel is no longer the same as before. Many people hope to use Marvel's hands to make their careers rise."
Chris spread his hands. For the role of "Sol", he took a gamble and gave up the other five or six film contracts in his hand. Perhaps he valued opportunities more than money at that time.
It turns out that as long as you can become famous among "superheroes", you will also have a good start. But after playing, new troubles will come.
"The halo of superheroes is not so easy to get rid of. Not to mention those failed works, Toby Quayle is now in a position to have no scenes to shoot, and has to turn the focus on the family."
Lee Hyun-chul shook the quilt, and the focal length of his eyes gradually disappeared and became empty.
So far, many actors have worn Marvel-given "superhero" armor, but few have successfully taken it off.
This is a "curse", and it is also the reason why these few people in front of him will not terminate their cooperation with Marvel until they cannot be sure that they have the ability to reconcile the scripts they have, and will not be able to terminate their cooperation with Marvel.
How could the girls think that these two people were chatting, and they actually dug out the secret of the most classic version of "Spider-Man".
"But didn't Toby Quill retire because of his age?"
The three men looked at each other and burst into laughter. It is okay to deceive the ignorant people with such reasons, but they cannot deceive Hollywood insiders.
"It's not...but after "Spider-Man 3", although he was criticized by this movie from fans to the media, he was still the brightest star at that time."
Jeremy leaned back on the sofa and fucked him, "After that, Sam Remy, who has been in charge, had very unpleasant frictions with Sony's senior executives. These frictions caused him to give up the first draft of the already drawn "Spider-Man 4", which made the series go bankrupt.
Because of his health, many scenes must be completed with the cooperation of a substitute, so he also left with the director. Now he is with the children and his life is very comfortable."
Knowing the real reason, this made it difficult for a girl fans who have watched the "Spider-Man" series for a while.
But after thinking about it carefully, Toby Quayer disappeared from the public's sight in this way. Although it was a pity, it was a good ending for him.
“If the role we play, copyright is in Sony’s hands, maybe today is another matter.
However... even though we understand that Marvel was cautiously unwilling to invest more in the movies in the early days, I, Evans and Downey, filmed the second and third parts. Although our pay increased, it was really far behind the global box office.
Outsiders think it’s cool for us to work with Marvel, but compared with the pay of Hollywood’s internal movie stars, we are like “beggars”.
Now our cooperation with Marvel is about to expire. Kevin revealed to us that they will discuss with us about the next step of signing the contract in the recent period.
But Lee, we are still reluctant to part with the roles we have, but if Marvel cannot give us Marvel's pay, we may have to say sorry to our respective characters."
Chris touched his wet beard and said in a deep voice that although "Thor" was later than "Iron Man", it achieved great success in both industry comments and commercial benefits.
So far, everyone with a "independent film" contract, including Chris, has signed a "trilogy" with Marvel, but that doesn't mean they will definitely shoot it.
The box office, pay, and personal factors of the movie are all factors that determine future changes.
Lee Hyun-cheol naturally understood what they were thinking. In the concept planning he originally submitted to Marvel, since 2008, Marvel needed to shoot more than 20 movies that matched the universe view, and it will increase in the future.
This is a money tree that will not dry up in the short term, but all this has nothing to do with the stars involved.
Everything was marked when signing with each of the respective contracts in the early stage.
Tom Hiddles, the "Toksen" in Chinese netizens, played the villain Loki in "Avengers 1", with a pay of only $160,000, while the budget for the entire movie is as high as 220 million.
Others weren't going there either. Chris Evans, who played Captain America, received $300,000 (the first part), and none of these people had participated in the box office pink.
Lee Hyun-cheol had expressed dissatisfaction with Marvel about this matter, but this overlord clause was not something he could have changed at that time.
"Last year's Iron Man 3, Thor 2: Dark World, and Captain America 2: Winter Soldier have achieved good results at the global box office. In addition to Ant-Man, which has been scheduled before and has not yet been approved, the second phase is almost expired."
When it comes to Marvel's internal affairs, several big men remain silent. Among them, Jeremy's Hawkeye plays can be said to be the worst.
I have worked together for many years, and there is no progress in the independent film about Hawkeye. It seems that Marvel has no intention of shooting it.
"What I can't be sure of now is what the attitude of those shareholders of Marvel are towards me.
When I was in the planning department, many of the planned plans were rejected by them because of various issues.
This time I came back to completely solve this problem. After all, I also participated in the planning of this "film universe project" at that time."
