Just the day after the audition, Actor Henry hurried back from Boston. Without any rest, he immediately started a intensive negotiation with the actor's agent about the pay and treatment.

Because all actors involved in this film already know their purpose and the crew cannot give high pay, they are ready to act with a salary cut, which makes his work progress amazingly fast.

On the same day, Jennifer Connery's agent Ronnisia first reached an agreement with the crew on behalf of her client. Before getting off work, she called her client and lawyer and simply wrote down her name on this contract of less than one million dollars.

Such an easy signing negotiation is completely different from Ector Henry's preparation. It was originally the most wasteful time and most conscientious salary link, but he didn't even take any effort. The persuasion excuses he prepared for staying up late the day before were useless at all.

You know, he has been working in this circle for two years and is very familiar with the normal negotiation process. Perhaps those actors are easier to convince, but the agent team behind them are all a group of vampires who can make an extra cent and get a tug-of-war with the crew for two months.

This is just an ordinary second-, third- and fourth-tier actor. At most, they will only have a little bit of a fight on the pay. As long as the crew insists, there will generally be no big accidents. What is troublesome is the daily treatment after joining the group.

For example, what star hotel should you stay in according to your status, the hotel room level, the daily consumption amount of three meals, whether there is a professional trailer for rest, whether there is a makeup trailer for single use, and other trivial matters in shooting work must be clearly reflected in the contract.

The more famous an actor is, the more he is not completely famous, the more he cares about these things. In this circle of facing highs and downs to lows, they are never the same-ranking actors, and it is almost a common phenomenon to predict too high themselves.

After a period of dispute, this kind of contract will eventually be successfully signed, but the negotiations that make people feel headache in the middle are unavoidable that no producer can avoid.

This is just a young actor. If the crew happens to sign a contract with a first-line A-lister, it is not something that can be negotiated in a short time. If it involves the scarce Hollywood resources, such negotiations will last at least three or two months. Just like the contract signed by Wayne, it may exceed a few hundred pages, and it looks like a big book.

In fact, this is not bad now, and the box office appeal of every superstar is amazing. As long as they are sure to join the film, they can get basic guarantees in the box office. Compared with the high pay and the sky-high late-stage share, the production company is also willing to spend money with a tight nose.

But after another ten or eight years, after entering the new century, Hollywood production companies will become increasingly bored with the return on investment of blockbusters, because superstar directors like Tom and Steven Spielberg have become the biggest winners because of the box office share contract system.

At this time when their appeal is the most powerful, if you want them to sign a contract smoothly, in addition to the money numbers that can scare people when they say it, there are also a series of other strange conditions and treatments.

When Johnny Depp was in the last two films in the Caribbean, he not only received a sky-high salary that made Disney vomit blood, but his treatment at work was even more unimaginable. Not only did his assistants and friends have to get paid from the crew, but the crew also hired carers for his pet dogs.

Coupled with Johnny Depp's strange and difficult personality and his frequent troubles during filming work, he became the most famous difficult person in the circle. Others are the most famous, but he elevated his talent to another level.

But this is just how he looks when facing the crew. When facing his fanatical fans, he will become another person, with all kinds of kindness and kindness. He is definitely a high-quality idol, just so weird and twisted.

This is not a few exceptions. Most actors who can reach A-camera have more or less difficult things to deal with. These people must reflect their special treatment at all times, especially in the crew, whose status is even higher than that of normal directors.

This is also one of the main reasons why Wayne never considers even if he has the capital and can invite A-level superstars to join. They will indeed bring great benefits, but behind the scenes, it may cause much trouble to his work.

"Done? Behave well!"

Before getting off work, Actor Henry sent the contract to Wayne's office. Faced with the praise from his idol, he just smiled embarrassedly.

After half a day of careful thinking, he knew that the main reason for his successful signing was the person in front of him. The reason why those actors couldn't wait to sign was nothing to do with their business abilities. They wanted to join Wayne's project as soon as possible to avoid any unpredictable accidents.

"I just went on the phone with Brad Pitt's agent, and it would be smoother to hear the other person's tone." Actor Henry put away his smile and started reporting to his idol. "As a result, it seems that in only half a month at most, all the actors can join the crew."

Speaking of this, he looked carefully at the opposite side of the desk. "Just..."

Wayne was looking through the contract and listening to his report. He started to hesitate halfway through the speech, and looked up. "Speak directly if you have anything, after the work starts, I will devote my energy to shooting. If you have any questions, I will raise them now, otherwise you can only solve them yourself after the shooting starts."

"No, you misunderstood." Actor Henry quickly shook his head, knowing that the other party didn't understand what he meant. "I want to ask you, how do we talk about Christian Bale's contract? In terms of actor pay and treatment, it is also the same standard code as others?"

This question is what makes him scratch his head the most. Everyone in the crew knows that Christian Bale didn't attend the audition at all. He is one of the male protagonists selected by Wayne.

In addition, Ictor Henry also specifically inquired that the British "Batman" had a good relationship with the director. As early as the filming of "Batman: The Moment of War", the role had already been decided. Christian Bale was also waiting to prepare for this role and did not accept other invitations.

To put it bluntly, this crew belongs to Wayne, and he must ask him for everything before he can make a decision. Who can guarantee that what kind of treatment does the crew controller want to give his love?

Actor Henry didn't want to have his first important job, but he invisibly offended his idol. Thinking of another alternative director, Tim Burton, Johnny Depp, whom he takes with him everywhere he goes. In his cognition, Christian Bale is obviously the kind of character Johnny Depp.

"Talk whatever you need, Actor." Wayne saw his cautious expression and roughly understood what he was thinking.

"Christian's pay and treatment should be based on the standards of Brad Pitt and Jack Nicholson. Trying to lower their pay as much as possible is what you need to consider, rather than using your mind to guess my thoughts. Don't worry, you are the producer of the crew now, and no one can question your job except me. I understand it enough, right?"

"Hu." Henry breathed a long sigh, and Actor Henry nodded solemnly. "I know what to do. I guarantee that in a maximum of half a month, the actors will all enter the crew to prepare for the filming."

He understood that this was the first level of his transformation into a producer. Now that the big guy Wayne is standing behind him, his work has been made countless times easier. He must seize this good opportunity and learn as much as possible how to become a qualified producer.

As long as you can complete your work smoothly, with the success rate of Wayne's production project, you will most likely follow him and succeed. After returning to Warner Bros., you will become a veritable producer. In the future, the company's investments will have the opportunity to make him the leader.

Other projects are not as special as Wayne's. More than 90% are centered on film company producers. The director is just a tool for shooting lens materials. Whether they can join the post-production work depends on the producer's meaning.

"Mr. Greenberg, oh, well, Wayne." Actor Henry shrugged, his body relaxed completely, and gradually calmed down his nervousness. "The Boston place is much less friendly to other staff members of the skin color than Los Angeles. We must notify everyone before we leave, especially those at the bottom, otherwise there will be chaos!"

This time, when I went to Boston to survey the landscape and booked a logistics hotel, my deepest feeling was not the economy or living conditions, but the local social atmosphere and the issue of general discrimination against people of color. It was Lao Bai's world, and in addition, I could feel the unfriendliness in all aspects.

Wayne nodded, turned around and put the contract he had just signed into the safe. "No problem, go back and remind Schwartz and Gilmore, and ask them to remind all department leaders to restrain their employees."

He knew that the other party’s reminder was right. The discrimination problem in Boston is very famous. Those old-school old-fashioned old-fashioned old-fashioned old-fashioned young-necks can even be compared with those of DZ and those red-necked.

Not to mention ordinary people of color, even the heroes of that city and the legendary stars of the Boston Celtics failed to get a little respect and did it too much than DZ.

From Lord of the Rings Bill Russell, the first Iron King John Halfrichek, to Tom Heinthorne and others, they have never been treated as a city hero. Ironically, these great stars have great reputations and have gained enough respect in places other than Boston.

The two then talked about the local situation. Wayne took a look at the time and happily ended their first conversation, preparing to get home from get off work.
