Hollywood Director 1992.

Chapter 250 Daily Life on the Island
"Link, what Warner Bros. means is that according to your schedule, you can shoot the movie project you have on hand first, and then shoot the Batman sequel. You can shoot it whenever you have time. As for the issue of pay, you can make any requests you have."

Sam Haskell said.

"Yes, Director Link, as long as you agree to cooperate, we can discuss any requirements. We are very sincere."

Richard Fox said.

Link nodded and said while chewing a pineapple, “Thank you for your company’s invitation. I am a fan of Batman and it is my honor to direct this movie. However, as an independent filmmaker, I care more about the autonomy of creation.

If I were to direct the sequel to "Batman", I would have to decide how to shoot the film, including production, script, casting, film editing, etc. All of them would be my responsibility, and Warner Bros. could not interfere in the specific work.

In terms of salary, the basic salary of 1000 million remains unchanged. If the North American box office performance is less than 1 million, I don't want a share. If the North American box office exceeds 1 million, I want 5% of the global box office share. If it exceeds 2 million, I want 10%, and if it exceeds 15 million, I want 1%. For every additional 5 million in North American box office, the box office share will increase by %. "

"This"

Richard Fox frowned. Among Link's requests, there were three points that he could not decide.

The first is film production. Batman is a Warner Bros. Pictures film, and the production must be done by the company to decide the direction of the film.

Second, the right to edit films. This is where many directors tend to disagree when working with film companies. When shooting, directors have their own ideas and understanding of the film, which tends to be biased towards personal preferences; when editing, production companies edit shots according to market and audience preferences, and focus more on commerciality.

In Hollywood, top directors have the final say in editing. Link is also a top director, but he and Warner Bros. Pictures did not get along well. It was difficult for the company to feel at ease handing over a movie with a production cost of hundreds of millions to him.

Third, in terms of remuneration, Link asked for less than $1 million and no share of the profits, which showed that he was very confident in making the film well. Richard Fox was very happy that Link had such confidence.

But if the North American box office exceeds 2 million, he wants 10% of the global box office. This is too much. If the North American box office exceeds 4 million and the global box office reaches 5000 million after the release of this movie, Link's profit on this movie will reach million US dollars. This asking price is too high.

Richard Fox cannot decide whether to agree or not alone, he needs to discuss it with the company.

"Don't worry, let's eat first."

Richard Fox's hesitation was also expected by Link.

He made those demands just to get people to bargain.

If Richard Fox agreed to the offer without bargaining, he would instead suspect that he had asked for less than the asking price, or that Warner Bros. had some conspiracy behind inviting him to be a director.
Seeing Richard Fox in a dilemma, Link's mood became better.

After dinner, Link asked the butler to take the two of them for a walk on the beach to see the scenery and have a big meal in the main building in the afternoon.

When they returned to the middle villa, Sandra Bullock and the others washed off the sand on their bodies, changed into clean and comfortable clothes and rested at home. Some were watching TV, some were reading magazines, and some were preparing to take a nap.

Although the four of them would work together to deal with him when playing, in private they were relatively independent, each doing their own things and living in their own rooms, and were not as close as they appeared to be.

Link understood the situation and would not interfere. What he needed was the beautiful and sexy side of these people, not wanting to watch them perform "The Legend of Zhen Huan".

"Link, who is the guest today?"

Seeing him come in, Sandra Bullock put down the magazine and looked up at him.

"Mr. Richard Fox, Vice President of Warner Bros. Pictures."

Link leaned back in the soft sofa, holding Sandra's waist.

This woman is not only beautiful, but also has a great figure. She is 171 cm tall and participated in a beauty pageant when she was in her teens. She originally had a curvy figure, and this feature became more prominent when she was . She is not worse than Kim Kardashian and is very plump.

"Richard Fox? I know him. What does he want from you?"

Julianne Moore lay on the sofa with a facial mask on her face, raising her thighs up and down from time to time, trying to relax her muscles and prevent her thighs from becoming thicker after exercise.

She is older than the others and usually pays more attention to the maintenance of her body, so she is also very smooth. "Ask me to make a movie."

"Warner wants you to make a movie? I remember you two were competitors."

Sandra Bullock adjusted her position and leaned against his arms, making it easier for him to put his hand in.

"We are just competitors, not enemies. If cooperation is beneficial to both sides, why not cooperate? However, we are still in the process of negotiation. Whether we can reach a cooperation in the end depends on the sincerity of Warner Bros. Pictures."

Link massaged the most comfortable spots on her body.

"My dear, you are really amazing. You defeated the seven major studios by yourself in the summer vacation. Now Warner Bros. has taken the initiative to come to you for cooperation, which is equivalent to admitting defeat to you. In my heart, you are the most powerful man in the world."

Renée Zellweger came over with a plate of fruit salad and put a piece of strawberry on her fork to his mouth.

"Thanks, you're the sweetest girl to me too."

Link ate two strawberries and felt a little hot. His bad habits began to rise. He stood up with Sandra in his arms. "I will entertain guests in the restaurant this afternoon. If you are interested, you can come and join me."

"Well, have a nice lunch break."

Renée Zellweger smiled at the backs of the two people, turned around and stuffed a piece of apple into Julianne Moore's mouth, "Sandra brought two scripts when she came, ready to ask Link to invest. What about you, did you bring any scripts?"

"No, I'm here for vacation. The beach here is very beautiful, and Link is also very, very good. I enjoy everything here."

Julianne Moore gently pats the fruit mask on her face.

"Link is a very nice guy, but he's too easy to talk to. I'm worried that he will invest recklessly in movie projects and cause the company to lose money."

"Don't worry, Link is smart, not a fool. Although he is very good to women, he is not without principles or bottom line. If Sandra's script is not good, he will not blindly invest in it."

"That's not necessarily true, listen!"

Renée Zellweger pointed upstairs with her fork. "She's shouting so loud that it's about to break the roof. She wasn't so wild before."

Julianne Moore listened to the noise upstairs and smiled, "I didn't have it before, but I met Link, and he's amazing, a man who can sweep me off my feet."

"Yes, I've been fascinated by him for a long time."

Renée Zellweger smiled, ate a piece of fruit, and fed another piece to Julianne. After a while, the noise upstairs changed.

"Jennifer?"

"She was very shy and couldn't let go a few days ago, but now she is more obsessed with Link than anyone else and she wishes she could grow on him."

Julianne Moore laughed.

Renée Zellweger listened for a while. The hot air made her sweat. She put down the fruit plate and stretched her smooth waist. "I'm going to sleep for a while. Do you want to go?"

"You go first. I'm not sleepy yet."

"Okay, I'm going to bed now."

Renée Zellweger clattered up the stairs in her slippers, her sexy waist and hips swaying under her skirt.

Julianne Moore looked at her back and cursed her as a little slut, but when she heard the noise from upstairs, she unconsciously put her knees together and her body became hot.
