Mr. Zhou Chinese Restaurant.
Chunhua box.
After Martin told (made up) his inspiration for writing this script.
Looking at Harvey with sharp eyes, he said:"Mr. Weinstein, this script is full of my hard work. Therefore, I have to pay more!"
Harvey Weinstein, who was still immersed in Martin's narration, was stunned.
I was a little confused by this sudden turn of events.
It took a few seconds to react, but the kid brought the topic back to the negotiation.
Looking at Martin, who is only twelve years old, but can talk about interests without any burden like an adult, Harvey even has the illusion that he is not facing a child, but an adult Jew who is as shrewd as him.
"Martin, you also asked to be the lead in this film. Do you know how difficult it is to be the lead in a movie in Hollywood, unless you are a big shot? Of course, independent films that can’t even enter theaters don’t count, but your script is obviously in a mainstream style."
Martin smiled slightly and said no more. Jeff knew it was his turn to play again.
"Harvey Martin is not an ordinary child star. In addition to his acting career, he also has the blessing of being a writer and musician. You cannot look at him in the same way as an ordinary young actor. His fame among child stars is already comparable to that of the 1991 Macaulay Culkin (starring in"Home Alone")"
"Harvey, it is indeed impossible for a newcomer to get this price, but Martin cannot be lumped together with those ordinary child stars."
"You know, Disney gave Martin a blade fee of US$100,000 plus 5% of the North American box office share for"The Perfect Match""
"Damn Disney! After Harvey cursed secretly, he continued to argue:"But he only has one movie.""
"But this movie is a huge success. The North American box office will soon exceed 100 million, and the box office in other regions except North America will soon exceed 40 million!"
Jeff and Harvey were at each other's throats.
But Martin was free to start tasting the food.
The boiling fish was not spicy enough, the Kung Pao chicken was a little too sweet, and the General Tso's chicken was considered Chinese food...
Finally, Harvey I still compromised.
Martin's performance in"The Perfect Match" was really amazing.
This movie, which he wrote and directed, had an investment of less than 16 million, but it earned nearly 130 million at the global box office. The return on investment is extremely high
"Okay, okay, Jeff, you are such a devil. With $3.8 million, Martin's salary is almost that of a second-tier movie star."
"Hey, this is not high. You must know that in 1991, Macaulay Carr's salary had already reached 8 million US dollars. Moreover, Martin’s 3.8 million also includes the screenwriter’s money."Jeff laughed.
Martin was actually very satisfied.
The price is indeed not high, but it is not low either. It depends on who you compare with.
You must know that although he received 5% of the North American box office share in"The Match", Even if the film successfully exceeded 100 million US dollars at the North American box office, his income would only be between 5 and 6 million US dollars.
3.8 million US dollars.
In fact, many second-tier Hollywood stars cannot get this salary.
Hollywood stars The income polarization is serious, top stars take all, and the salary can reach tens of millions.
The salary of second-tier stars is like a landslide, plummeting to around five million.
This must be a second-tier star with commercial appeal.
Those who become famous in independent films and art films have even lower incomes. Macaulay Carr is a special case among child actors. He can get a salary of 8 million close to that of a top star because of the No. 1 movie in"Home Alone" The North American box office alone was close to 300 million, and the global box office exceeded 500 million. The investment was only 18 million U.S. dollars, breaking many records - it became the most profitable movie of the American 20th Century Fox Film Company at the time. And after it was released on Christmas Day that year, it became the highest-grossing Christmas movie in the history of the United States. It also broke the Guinness World Record and became the highest-grossing comedy movie. Although this record was later broken, it was broken in 1990. To be able to reap such a high box office is really a miracle in the history of world cinema.
And the second part of"Home Alone" cannot be without him as the protagonist, which is why he was asked to pay such a sky-high salary.
Look at the departure of Macaulay Carr After the"Home Alone" series, you will know that the salary was immediately cut in half.
What's more, Martin also received his most important investment share, 40%, which is what he values most.
"Happy cooperation"
"A pleasure to work with."
The business matters were settled, and we all became good friends again.
Harvey smiled and said to Martin:"Martin, although this film is a horror film, I think it has the potential to win awards. You have to act well. When the time comes, he will win the youngest Oscar for a leading actor.
Martin shrugged," I'll try my best.""

Meyers home.
Linda is complaining to her husband
"Grant, you are too arrogant to allow our precious son to discuss profit matters with vampires in Hollywood?"
"Come on Linda, our son is special and maybe he can't quite do it now, but after a while it won't be a problem for him. Grant was obviously extremely confident in Martin,"
You should know that our little Martin has enough ability and wisdom to face all this." Moreover, isn’t this also Jeff! Then Grant frowned and said:"
What I'm worried about now is not that my son is not mature enough, but that my wife is mature. Sometimes when I talk to him, I have a very strong illusion that I am not talking to a child." , but having a peer-to-peer communication with a peer"
"As a father, I am about to become an admirer of my own children before I fully enjoy the admiration of my own children!
Linda was amused by Grant's funny words and joked:"How about we have another one?" Grant
's eyes lit up,"This is a good choice. God bless, don't send us another little genius this time. One is enough." This time it was Linda's turn to grimace,"
Are you serious?" But, my career has just started."
After Linda gave birth to Martin, she worked as a housewife at home for a long time. It wasn't until Martin was six years old that she started to resume work. She didn't want to do it again.
Grant laughed,"You must be scared, I'm just kidding. of. He immediately changed the subject and said,"Dear, to be honest, maybe we should test Martin's IQ.""
On the other side, Jeff, who was driving Martin home, also said:"Martin, have you ever thought about taking an IQ test?"
"Measuring IQ, why are we talking about this?"
"This will solidify your reputation as a 'genius', and we will have another focal point for publicity."
After Martin thought about it carefully, he still refused.
He was not sure whether measuring his IQ in the human way would reveal someone who is mentally retarded or mentally ill.
You know, the thinking logic of succubi is very different from that of humans..
It’s better to be careful!
Maybe after you fully understand human behavior and thinking logic, you can give it a try.
