Meiyu: I don’t care about the cost when making movies

Chapter 50 Secondary Customers
I have to say that to be nominated twice and successfully win the Oscar, even with the help of a lot of off-site power, Nicole Kidman's acting skills are still there.

Otherwise, she would not have been able to win the sympathy of so many people on news, interview and other programs.

Wayne thought about it quickly.

Although if he is photographed, there may be a lot of tidbits, but he does not need to care at all, and romance has never been a derogatory term in Hollywood or even America.

What's more, this is Nicole Kidman, and she is still a Nicole Kidman whose appearance has not declined. It would be a pity to miss it.

With Nicole Kidman’s current fame and status.

There are only two kinds of people who can have in-depth communication with her. One is those who have a much higher status than her and can bring her the resources she wants. For example, Harvey can help her get the Oscar statuette she dreams of. ·Weinstein.

The other kind is the kind of person who is so handsome that she is attracted by it and wants to take the initiative to communicate in depth, such as Wayne.

It's okay if the former refuses once, and there will be another chance, but once the latter refuses, he may not have a chance, so Wayne decisively agreed.

"See you tonight then!"

After making an appointment, Nicole Kidman smiled and waved, then turned and walked towards her assistant who was already waiting for her not far away.Her charming smile and haggard complexion give her a unique charm of a sickly beauty.

"Haha, Wayne, it seems I have to congratulate you again. Even popular A-list stars like Nicole Kidman are impressed by your charm."

Just as Wayne was admiring Nicole Kidman's swaying figure, Mike's voice suddenly rang from beside him.

"Hey, Mike, we haven't seen each other for a few days, and you seem to have lost a lot of hair~" Wayne turned his head, looked at him, and joked with him with a smile.

This made Mike unconsciously touch his head, which was shaved because he was so bald, and he also grinned.

Because of their diet and physique, there are particularly many Mediterranean and bald men here in America, so this kind of ridicule is not as uncomfortable as it is on the other side of the ocean.

"I shaved it off myself, okay? Don't you think it looks cooler and more manly like this?" Mike defended a bit arrogantly.

After hearing this, Wayne smiled and did not dwell on the topic. He asked curiously: "Do you have a client to shoot today?"

"Meghan, have you forgotten Megan?" Mike made an exaggerated expression and explained: "Thanks to you, Tony Gilroy slightly modified the script and added the character of the old captain who rescued you. Have you forgotten the role of a granddaughter?”

Wayne then remembered and shrugged, "Well, I've been working too much lately, so I really forgot about it."

In the original "The Bourne Supremacy", Bourne was rescued by the captain of a fishing boat after falling into the sea. With the help of the old captain, he performed surgery to remove the bullet in his body and the bank safe key on his butt.

In this scene, Bourne not only had to lie down on the table, exposing his back and half of his buttocks, he also had to be 'touched'.

Even if it was just for the plot, he couldn't stand it, so he asked the screenwriter Tony Gilroy to add the role of a granddaughter in it. In this way, being touched by a girl would be easier to accept than being touched by an old man. Not at all?
Screenwriter Tony Gilroy naturally had no objection to this requirement, which was so small that it did not affect the plot at all, and it only took 10 minutes to complete it.

Even if Wayne didn't need it, he could have created a relationship scene between Wayne and the fisherman girl. For example, the fisherman girl saw that Wayne was so handsome and had in-depth exchanges with him on the boat several times.

But in order to retrieve his lost memory, Wayne resolutely went to Zurich and took out the contents of the bank safe after the ship docked.

To be honest, if it was Megan Fox a few years later, he might have agreed, but now Megan is only 14 years old. In order not to be attacked after the film is released, he could only reluctantly refuse this proposal. "You are such a busy man!" Mike said, half complaining and half envious.

Everyone is also busy. Not only can Wayne make a lot of money, but he can also have so many female stars take the initiative to throw themselves into his arms. But as for him, he is bald and has not become stronger. If he wants a woman, he has to spend his own money to find those applicants. call girls.

Why is this gap so big?
Fortunately, thanks to Towayne, his income has increased a lot recently, and he can find two call girls at once.

Although the profit from the film's sales certainly has nothing to do with him and WMA, Wayne's salary alone has increased his income in the past six months by two or three times compared to last year.

"By the way, the company's senior management has upgraded your internal rating to a second-tier customer." Mike suddenly remembered this and said.

"When was it? My current salary is not up to the standard of a second-tier client, right?" Wayne asked in surprise.

"Just a few days ago, there was news in the circle that you sold "Happy Death Day" for 3950 million US dollars."

Mike explained: "Although your current actor's salary is only about 400 million, which can barely meet the standards of third-level customers, as a 'producer', you can produce two medium-sized productions in a row with more than double the profit margin, and Now we have begun to produce large-scale commercial films with a cost of more than 5000 million US dollars, and such 'producers' are enough to meet the standards of second-tier customers."

It dawned on Wayne.

In today's era, according to the common internal evaluation standards of these economic companies, a male star's salary must reach 400 million to be rated as a third-level customer, and 800 million to become a second-level customer. As for a first-level customer, he needs to reach more than 1200 million. The pay will do.

This kind of salary is relatively high among first-line male stars.

Relatively speaking, the standards for female stars and directors are much lower.

The standard for female celebrities is 200 million as a third-level customer, 500 million as a second-level customer, and 1000 million as a first-level customer.

The director’s are respectively 200 million, 400 million and 800 million.

Different ratings represent different levels of attention from brokerage companies, and the resources and help that can be enjoyed from brokerage companies are also different.

It seems a little unfair, but this is all determined by market value.

The director plays a vital role in the film, but unless it reaches the level of James Cameron and Steven Spielberg, ordinary audiences still recognize the stars more.

To give a simple example, after the first part of "The Bourne Supremacy" became a hit, the director was changed for the second part, but who in the audience cared?
For another example, each of the first five films in the "Mission: Impossible" series had a different director. How many viewers would care?

In the eyes of the audience, in the eyes of the audience, if a commercial movie like this is well shot and has a high box office, it is the credit of the star; if it is poorly shot and has a low box office, it is the director's fault.

Therefore, a director who has a lot of power in a movie may not be paid as much as a supporting actor.

But if you were a producer, it would be a different standard.
