Chapter 735 Examine the overall situation
My mood gradually calmed down.
Edgar realized that the recent sudden burst of success made him a little hot-headed, causing some fluctuations in his judgment——
Vanity Fair, that’s it, it’s not just an actor , every bystander who is in it or even spinning around is no exception. If he doesn't pay attention, his eyes will be dazzled by the dazzling splendor, and he will have fallen before he realizes it.
At times like this, he needs a little reminder.
When Anson had nothing, Edgar believed that Anson could achieve something; now, Edgar's confidence should have only increased.
So, there is no need to worry about gains and losses, there is no need to be impatient, there is no need to rush for success, just find calmness and reason, and proceed according to the plan.
Raising his eyes to look at Anson, Edgar raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "You are a bit strange like this, so confident."
The former Anson was also confident. But rather than saying it is confidence, it is better to say that it is calm and indifferent, because it does not care about the spontaneity that comes naturally.
Now Anson’s confidence radiates from the inside out.
Anson showed a smile, "Is this a bad thing?"
"Ha." Edgar laughed directly, "For others, maybe." Because this may be a sign of narcissism and arrogance, "But it's a good thing for you."
"Phew, relieved." Anson raised his right hand, originally making a pistol gesture, but now let it go, and even flicked his wrist to relax.
Sure enough, Anson was still the same Anson, confident but not arrogant. His movements clearly said, "I was almost about to shoot," teasing Edgar.
Edgar laughed dumbly.
Anson continued, "So, what are your terms for Sony Columbia?"
Edgar, "Thirty-five million U.S. dollars or 10% of the North American box office dividend, choose one."
Wow, awesome!
As soon as it comes up, the price increases by several levels.
Twenty million club?
No, no, no, Edgar is not interested. He is now preparing to open an exclusive club for Anson, with Anson as the only member.
No wonder Sony Colombia is in trouble.
Although Anson is excellent, it is not that outstanding - after all, the foundation is too shallow and it has not really proven that it has market appeal.
Currently, the entire Hollywood is extremely cautious about the 20 million dollar club, even Anson is no exception, because once the salary of a film rises to 20 million US dollars, it will become the industry standard in the future, and other film companies and other projects will try to It must be used as a reference when collaborating.
However.
Edgar is not even satisfied with the 20 million club.
I have to say, this move is cruel enough.
Of course, both Edgar and Sony Columbia know that such conditions are impossible, and the next step is to sit down and negotiate.
So, who can think of the end?
Involuntarily, Anson thought of the negotiation between Sony Colombia and Tobey Maguire in his previous life. His thoughts stopped in his mind, and Anson thought of something.
"Captain, let them show me the script."
Edgar, "It's not finished yet."
Anson, "It doesn't matter where you write it. I'm just curious, How are they going to create this story? They shouldn’t just follow the original comics. Sam will definitely want to create something based on the original comics. So, what about Peter Parker’s growth arc?”
From Judging from the previous life, among Tobey Maguire's version of the "Spider-Man" series, the second one has the best reputation. It won applause from film critics and audiences that year, and then the second one opened a new narrative style for comic superheroes. The first part, and finally the third part that ends in chaos.
However, judging from the box office data, the first part is higher than the second and third part, but it is showing a slow downward trend.
To be precise, the box office performance of the sequel is far from a failure, otherwise Sony Columbia would not have planned a fourth part and immediately restarted the series after the fourth part failed to materialize; however, the sequel failed to replicate the box office miracle of the first part. , it’s still a pity.
Now, Anson takes over, and he is a little curious, can "Spider-Man 2" reverse history?
Anson's words had a different meaning in Edgar's ears. His eyes lit up, "Can we fight for the position of producer?" Anson: Uh...
Edgar snapped his fingers, "Of course. Of course! Just like Tom Cruise's position in the 'Mission: Impossible' series, we can also improve the situation."
Anson blinked, "Captain, your idea is too advanced, I just want to read the script."
"Haha." Edgar laughed cheerfully, "It doesn't matter, you have your major, I have mine, that’s why you need my help with the work.”
After a slight change of mind, Edgar had a new idea.
Furthermore, Anson has just said that it doesn’t matter even if he misses the sequel. They don’t need to limit their sights to just one Peter Parker. He needs to convince Sony, Columbia and other Hollywood film companies that the real treasure is not Peter Parker, but Anson.
A little difference in mentality and perspective also determines the difference in the entire pattern.
My mood suddenly became brighter.
Edgar was a little eager to try.
He likes this kind of challenge and this kind of battle of wits. He is ready to wrestle with the giant Sony Columbia.
The outcome is yet to be determined.
Withdrawing his thoughts, Edgar saw the scene in front of him, and a smile crept up the corner of his mouth——
Anson has already begun flipping through the script.
This is the first time that Edgar can bring more than one script project for Anson to choose from, and he can't help but feel a little proud deep in his heart.
In front of you, it’s just a small part.
Now, half of Hollywood's projects want to have contact with Anson, and Anson has undoubtedly become the first choice for producers eager to cooperate.
The most important thing is that "Princess Diaries", "Spider-Man", and "Cat and Mouse Game" have made profits for three consecutive works, and they have made huge profits. This is more important than any other in the eyes of movie companies. Any award for acting skills is useful.
Therefore, the writers and producers all focused on Anson.
A simple example: a film project has been unable to find a film company willing to invest for a long time, but now that Anson is interested in it, a film company willing to invest will come immediately.
That’s what the “butterfly effect” is.
As you can imagine, there are countless works eager to enter Anson's field of vision.
However, not “all” film projects——
Mainly focusing on genre film projects.
Independent films and art films, they still don’t believe in the Anson brand, and those in these film circles don’t believe in the appeal of Anson’s name.
But it doesn’t matter. Take it step by step. There is no need to worry about becoming fat in one bite.
At least, Anson now has the right to choose, which is an important step.
Exhaling gently, Edgar smiled, "That's it for today. You read these scripts slowly. There is no need to be too anxious. After reading them, you can reply to me. I will go back to Los Angeles to work first. …”
But he didn't expect that Edgar was interrupted before he finished speaking.
"Captain, there's no need, wait." Anson spoke directly without raising his head.
Edgar was stunned, "Why, are you too lazy to read?"
Because he was so unexpected and shocked, Edgar stuttered for a rare moment and looked back at the kitchen. The busy figure.
“Are you going to let Noah help you read?”
Noah: Where did this pot come from?
