After finishing the polite words, Diego Harris got into high spirits. An agent like Bill Rossis has a reputation for being difficult to deal with. When it is profitable, CAA's The lion's mouth must be opened to the widest possible size to bite down a piece of meat.

But he is also very clear that Warner Bros. and DC Comics will definitely have to pay a considerable price for a superhero movie project like this to impress Murphy Stanton.

He has already said before that 25% of the film's total income will be used as Murphy Stanton's personal dividends. Looking at the entire Hollywood, this is definitely the top sharing contract.

This is also the bottom line for Warner Bros. and DC Comics.

Diego Harris's head turned rapidly. Now that he has agreed to Murphy Stanton's original sharing conditions, the other party's attitude has obviously softened. The sharing should not be a big problem. More will increase the price in terms of basic remuneration.

For ordinary senior directors, producers like them would rather give a little more post-production share than increase the basic salary. A substantial increase in the basic film salary will greatly increase the initial investment, thereby increasing the risk of the project. It can better bind the director or other important members of the crew to this project.

But directors like Murphy Stanton are definitely not in this ranks.

Everyone in Hollywood now knows that Murphy Stanton is a greater guarantee of a film's market revenue than superstars like Tom Cruise and Leonardo DiCaprio, Judging from the last five films, his directed works are synonymous with box office hits.

Under such circumstances, it is very uneconomical to pay a huge post-production share compared to increasing the basic salary.

In terms of increasing the basic salary, Bruce Rosenbloom did not make a clear request, and he still has some room for manipulation.

In just a short moment, countless thoughts flashed through Diego Harris' mind, and then he had his own psychological bottom line.

In order to successfully deal with Murphy Stanton, he is willing to accept a salary of 20 plus 25, which means a basic film salary of 20 million US dollars plus 25% of the film's full revenue share!

In Diego Harris' view, such a remuneration is not only unique in Hollywood, but it is also a very rare super contract.

Of course, it is impossible for him to say this directly, otherwise it would not be a negotiation, but waiting to be slaughtered by Bill Rossis.

Diego Harris believes that the terms he represents from Warner Bros. and DC Comics are already very high.

After finishing the polite words, Bill Rosses went straight to the point, "Let's talk about Murphy's salary first."

"Please." Diego Harris made a gesture of please.

It is false to say anything else, and salary is the key to determine the cooperation between the two parties.

Bill Rosses held out his index and middle fingers, "$20 million base salary."

Hearing what he said, Diego Harris didn't say anything, and he was a little relieved, but Bill Rosses went on to say, "In addition, 30% of the total income of the future films will be Murphy's personal share! "

Thirty percent? Diego Harris' eyes widened instantly, and he couldn't help saying, "This is impossible!"

Bill Rosses spread his hands and shrugged again.

"I said it before." Diego Harris emphasized again, "25% of the total revenue share!"

"That's Murphy's previous price." Bill Rosses laughed, "Diego, do you think the current Murphy is still the old Murphy? He has a higher status in the industry and a stronger appeal. Get more rewards!"

Diego Harris shook his head directly, "Warner Bros. has not had such a precedent."

"There's always the first person to walk the road." Bill Rossis said.

"Sorry." Diego Harris sighed in his heart, Murphy Stanton was more greedy than he imagined,

"I can't agree to such a condition."

"Alright then." Bill Rosses stood up directly, "It seems that we can't cooperate again."

Seeing that Bill Rossis didn't want to talk any more, Diego Harris subconsciously wanted to stand up and stop him, but thinking that this would make his side more passive, he forcibly endured it.

Bill Rossis was about to leave. Before leaving, he said, "Diego, you know my phone number. If Warner Bros. agrees to our conditions, you can call me at any time. Murphy is still very cooperative."

Is this also called the sincerity of cooperation? Diego Harris wanted to rush up and spray Bill Rossis in the face, but he said, "I will report these situations to the company."

"goodbye."

After finishing speaking, Bill Rosses walked out of the reception room directly.

Such a price tag is not his arbitrariness, but Murphy's. Murphy has his own plan to carry out, unless there is a major accident or a reward that cannot be refused, otherwise he does not want to interrupt the plan that has already started. Warner Bros. approached him at this time, and of course he was going to offer a sky-high price.

If Warner Bros. and DC Comics agree, the price tag could bring in huge sums, and he could take a break from his plans.

He has nothing to lose if Warner Bros. and DC Comics say no.

Diego Harris notified Bruce Rosenbloom of the negotiation process by phone.

Sitting in his office, Bruce Rosenblum was holding the phone. For some reason, he breathed a sigh of relief, and there was a hint of joy in his heart. Murphy Stanton offered such a high condition, so it was just for him Did you give a reason for your refusal?

At a board meeting not long ago, many people criticized him for giving up on cooperating with Murphy Stanton, thinking that Murphy Stanton should be invited back to continue directing DC’s superhero movie series, and these people are like Diego - Like Harris, they are all powerful figures, putting a lot of pressure on him as the CEO.

Well now, it is impossible for Warner Bros. to agree to such a condition. There is no such precedent before.

"Diego, you continue to contact Murphy Stanton." Bruce Rosenblum always showed a positive attitude, ""Wonder Woman" will take a while, talk slowly, don't worry. "

With Murphy Stanton's current status, it is basically impossible to reduce the salary of large-scale commercial films, and it is difficult to start the cooperation between Warner Bros. and him again.

"Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" has indeed suffered a disastrous reputation. Murphy Stanton has indeed brought unprecedented brilliance to DC's superhero series, but with so many directors in Hollywood, he doesn't believe in DC's comic-adapted superhero movies. It has to be tied to Murphy Stanton alone to succeed.

Maybe, the "Suicide Squad" that is being planned will be a hit at both the box office and word of mouth?

Bruce Rosenblum thinks that this possibility is not impossible, and Warner Bros. can wait a little longer. DC comic superhero movies will not always be so unlucky.

On the way to James Franco's house, Murphy received a call from Bill Rosses. He was more patient than Warner Bros. and told Bill Rossis to take it easy and talk to Warner Bros. It doesn't matter if we can't talk about it.

If the negotiation fails, the only regret is Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman. Fortunately, the games of shame that both of them are very obsessed with can make up for this regret to a large extent.

On the way to Santa Monica, Murphy met Jonah Hill and rushed to the home of James Franco. They all came to visit Lily Collins. The marriage proposal of James Franco, As a result, Lily Collins was forced to gastric lavage, which was not a big problem at first, but Lily Collins may have been suffering from severe gastrointestinal problems in recent years in order to maintain her figure. Physical condition is very poor.

"I knew it earlier," James Franco said annoyedly, "I would never make a fancy marriage proposal."

Jonah Hill patted him on the shoulder heavily, "You are still so unreliable in what you do."

James - Franco rare did not fight back, just looked at Lily - Collins leaning on the sofa.

"Murphy," Lily Collins looked at Murphy and asked, "When will Gail come back?"

"It won't be until April." Murphy just asked Gal Gadot last night, "Their family's business is in a little trouble."

"Is there any trouble?" Lily Collins asked with concern.

"Small problem." Murphy smiled, "It's almost resolved."

"Gail's not here..." Lily Collins slammed the pillow she was hugging hard, "Susan is busy with work, and she doesn't even have anyone to go shopping with me."

She suddenly turned to Jonah Hill, "Don't you want to chase Emma Roberts? What's going on now?"

"That..." Jonah Hill scratched his head, "Since that time, she has been avoiding me."

Thinking of Jonah Hill's farce, both Murphy and James Franco laughed. It is estimated that Emma Roberts left a shadow that time.

Murphy suddenly thought of an idea, "Joe, isn't Seth's script planning to let Hollywood stars play the real version of them in the film? Why don't you invite Emma Roberts? I believe she will think about it Chance."

Because of the relationship with Julia Roberts, Emma Roberts is somewhat famous and often attracts media attention, but her situation in Hollywood is not good, even Lily Collins is not as good, and a representative work cannot be found , It is also a typical example of the kind of popular characters who are not popular.

"Good idea." Jonah Hill nodded, "I can try it."

After staying at James Franco's house for a while, Murphy and Jonah Hill bid farewell and left together. When they returned, Murphy received a call from Bill Rossis. Warner Bros. just officially announced on social networking sites The selection of the director of "Suicide Squad" seems to be telling him in this way that without him, Murphy Stanton, DC's superhero series will not be affected in any way.
