Chapter 223: The Masterpiece and the Record Company
Lunch is an ordinary American Western food, but the good ingredients and Charlize's good craftsmanship make the taste very good. However, Andy was a little speechless about the way Americans like to use bread to smear soup. By the way, there are also the fucking essential beans and broccoli.
"Have you signed the contract for "The Battle of Ira Valley"?" Andy asked a little vaguely, chewing beef.
"Not yet, Gigi is talking about pay..." Charlize doesn't consider weight when eating. Her favorite thing is to eat delicious food. Of course, she must use a lot of exercise to consume calories to maintain her figure.
"How many?" Andy looked at her curiously and asked.
"They are going to pay me $5 million, but Gigi disagreed and kept in negotiations." Charlize said with a little depressed expression. The price was speechless.
"Hmm?" Andy held the knife and fork in both hands, frowned and continued to ask, "What is your maximum salary?"
"..." Charlize's pretty face suddenly turned slightly red, he looked at Andy with anger, his lips slightly opened, as if he was silenced, but seeing Andy's expression with a question, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "14.9 million!"
"Oh...that's really good! What movie is coming?" Andy didn't seem to see Charlize's pretty face completely blackened. He lowered his head and cut the steak, and sighed in his mouth.
"Ding...dang!"
Andy looked at the queen who was throwing the knife and fork into the plate with a dark face, looking angry, "I won't eat anymore!"
Seeing the queen wipe her mouth with a napkin, she was about to stand up and leave the dining table. Even if Andy was idiotic, she knew that she had offended the queen. She asked in a daze, "Why are you angry? Did I say something wrong?"
Charlize walked to the sofa in the living room and sat down. He stopped looking at Andy who was following her. He broke free from Andy's hug for a few times. After finding it useless, he had to give up.
"What did I say wrong? Tell me first!" Andy asked, looking at Charlize, who was sulking with an innocent look on his face.
"You really don't know?" Charlize looked at Andy, who was shaking his head blankly, and squeezed out a sentence from his teeth in shame, "Magic warrior!"
"Hmm? The magic warrior...Puchi, haha, I'm sorry, oh, don't twist! OK, okay, I don't laugh... How much was the investment at that time?" Andy finally knew the reason why the actress queen was angry, and couldn't help laughing out loud. The actress queen twisted the flesh on Andy's arm in anger. He had to suppress the smile and raise his hand to surrender.
"...62 million." The queen of the movie answered with a slight slump.
Andy felt so uncomfortable. She held back her laughter, her upper body trembled repeatedly, her expression was strange, and her tone was strange, "Your figure in the movie is still very attractive..."
Charlize's forehead veins leaped straight, and he snorted proudly, and stopped looking at Andy.
The magic warrior, Charlize won the actress's queen, and the big sci-fi commercial film that left a handprint on the Avenue of Stars, flopped to grandma's house. The media mocked her and was named an extremely stupid film by the New York Times! She was elected as a 2005 big silly film...
This is also one of the representative works of the film queen's commercial films. It is also her confirmation that a curse of film queen's decline for three years exists, and her value has dropped rapidly.
"Okay, okay, don't be angry, it's all the past. In this way, tell your agent, don't sign contracts with people from Tsukuba recently. The 5 million yuan pay is really not worthy of your value. Even if your value drops, it won't fall so much. After I join Tsukuba's board of directors, they will ask them to make a new offer. Come, let's go back for dinner."
After saying that, Charlize, who was pretty and slightly red, walked towards the restaurant. "Is there any result?" Charlize asked with concern.
"Well, it's basically settled, but even if I help you, the salary will not exceed 10 million. After all, this is business." Andy pressed Charlize to his seat, and said in a soft tone with a helpless tone.
"Thank you, I understand." Charlize knew better than anyone else that the previous failure had a huge impact on her value. If it weren't for Andy, even if it was a 5 million yuan salary, she would have prepared for the next one. She urgently needed an excellent film to turn it over.
"Also, you have to be mentally prepared. The theme of this film will not be very good in the US. After all, it is an anti-war theme. The ruins memorial hall of the World Trade Center has just been completed. The people of the US imperial court have not yet escaped from pain and hatred. If this movie is not done well, it will make the people disgusted. You should restrain yourself when performing it, but it should be popular abroad, and those awards are still fine."
Andy remembers that he seemed to have won the Golden Lion Award in Venice in his previous life. In order to make the actress queen mentally prepare in advance, he still expressed his worries.
"Thank you, Andy..." Charlize listened to her little man's thorough analysis and judgment. This was undoubtedly the greatest help to her. This was also the sense of security she had never felt before. There was no need to worry or be upset. Although her agent was good in other aspects, she could not help her in the selection of scripts. This was also Jiji's only disadvantage. After all, what agents valued more was the pay and economic benefits.
Andy showed a charming smile on her face, and she squeezed her eyes at Charlize, showing you what you know. The queen of the film patted her forehead speechlessly, ignored Andy, and picked up the knife and fork and ate again.
In the afternoon apartment, the curtains were closed, but the bright sunshine still shone through the white curtains, making the house warm.
Andy was browsing quickly with the basic textbook of computer science. He still had a certain memory of this knowledge. In addition, he still remembered it now, so there would be no problem just by reading it a little.
I moved the book in front of me and saw Charlize who was serving him hard, and his mouth was already flying. However, Andy's sensitivity was almost completely reduced to a low point in his super god state. As for whether the queen's hands were sore and numb, okay, although she would feel a little distressed, comfort is the most important thing. Besides, this is the queen's conscious unbuttoned his belt and acted voluntarily. She couldn't refuse Charlize's kindness, that's so pretentious...
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Andy received a call from Carl, got out of the bed naked, looked at Charlize, who was sleeping, and walked into the living room with his cell phone.
"Andy, I've seen that music company. Although it's a start-up, it's very professional in all aspects and has a complete set of equipment and staff. I also went to the recording studio to see the singer signed. Although the little girl is a bit rustic, she is close to 180cm tall and has a very good voice. I heard that she can write songs..."
Andy clamped his phone with his shoulders and face, opened the refrigerator, took out a bottle of mineral water, unscrewed it, and heard it intermittently. He knew the situation of the company. After taking a big sip of water, he said, "Since that's the case, you can ask that person to bring the contract to the copyright company tomorrow morning to see me. You ask the legal department and finance department of the company to go to their company to check it out. Is the shares okay?"
"Scott said that if he can really guarantee his business and management of the company, he can sell it to us 51%, but the terms need to be written into the contract." Carl glanced at the father and daughter who were standing more than ten meters away and was arguing with Scott, and said to Andy.
"Okay, you can promise him. As long as you are worthy of my investment, you can serve snacks. Although you don't know how he can borrow the distribution channel for Universal Music, I think Universal Music will not give him too many resources. After signing the contract, you come forward to communicate with Universal Music people." Andy's single has been the charts for 5 consecutive weeks, which has made Universal Music make a lot of money. His face still needs to be seen. Besides, a small label record workshop does not use too much resources, so this is still helpful. Of course, the most important thing is that the contract between Andy and Universal Music requires both parties to establish a good relationship, otherwise, either party can complete the termination of the contract without much cost. This is undoubtedly the thing that Universal Music is most worried about after Andy became famous.
