Also able to reap most of the income within a year is the sales of derivative products of the film. According to the media's forecast of 20 billion US dollars in derivative sales in the next year, Daenerys Entertainment should be able to earn about 3 million US dollars, excluding the need to pay 10% of DC Comics, leaving $2.7 million.

Adding the above two together, Daenerys Entertainment will be able to recover US$5 million in the next year with "Batman: Beginning of War".

Even if the film's production budget and publicity costs are directly counted as $1 million, Daenerys Entertainment's net profit from this project in the next year can reach $4 million.

Next, one year later, within the five-year income period, the subsequent derivative sales, video tape distribution, and TV broadcast income of "Batman: Beginning of War" will definitely be only higher than the previous two incomes.You should know that according to the latest recent statistics, with the further expansion of the video tape market, the average global video revenue of Hollywood films has exceeded 45% of the total revenue, while the box office revenue has fallen to less than 30% of the total revenue.

As a result, Batman Begins will be able to earn at least as much in follow-up channels as Daenerys Entertainment did in its first year.

Taken together, Daenerys Entertainment will be able to earn at least US$8 million from the distribution of "Batman: Beginning of War" in the next five years.As the publisher, Time Warner's income from all aspects will not be less than 2 million US dollars.

$10 billion, which happens to be the total profit scale of "Batman: Beginning of War" generally recognized by most media.

Daenerys and Time Warner could make $10 billion with "Batman Begins." How much will the leading actors and actresses be paid?

The media immediately exposed it.

Adam Baldwin, Batman, $30.Valerie Golino, who played Catwoman, $20.

The sum of the two is only $50.

The salaries of other supporting actors in the film are even lower in comparison.

Because of the release of "Batman: Begins", Adam Baldwin and Valerie Golino have quickly accumulated a group of fans.

Seeing that idols can only get such a small salary, Daenerys and Time Warner can earn 10 billion US dollars under the media reports that are afraid of chaos, fans are naturally dissatisfied. The phone call asked Daenerys Entertainment and Time Warner to renegotiate the contract and give their idol a raise.

The relevant news was originally released by Daenerys Entertainment, so it is natural to respond quickly to this situation.

Although it has not been acquired by Time Warner, the CNN channel of Turner Broadcasting Company, which has always maintained a close relationship with the company, made a special feature soon after the news fermented, visiting the last few Hollywood finalists for the Batman play list last year Actor status.

Compared with Adam Baldwin, who has already achieved fame, the last few shortlisted actors last year, the best developed only just got a resident role in an ABC TV series.Even more dramatic, there are even people who end up on certain 'movie' sets in the San Fernando Valley.

Subsequently, the "Hollywood Reporter" also exposed the details of Adam Baldwin's five film contracts.

In addition to the low salary of $30 for the first film, the total value of Adam Baldwin's remaining four film contracts is actually as high as $3000 million, and the average salary of $750 million is completely at the level of first-line stars.Compared with the salary Christopher Reeve received from the three "Superman" films, Daenerys Entertainment is already very generous.

The "Hollywood Reporter" also pointed out that, relying on the popularity of the "Batman" series, Adam Baldwin can not only take on other movies with the salary level of a first-line star, but also get many other well-paid advertising endorsements.The accumulation of these is definitely higher than the income of most Hollywood stars.

Plus, the same goes for the rest of Batman Begins' rising stars.

Without the chance of "Batman Begins", most of these people would not be known to the public, and they would even be reduced to the status of those actors who were shortlisted for Batman before but failed.

Because of the importance of the DC movie universe project to Time Warner, Warner Bros. Pictures CEO Terry Semel directly stated in an interview with ABC "Good Morning America" ​​that Warner Bros. Pictures will never cooperate with films that lack the spirit of contract. people cooperate.

Hollywood film companies usually sign additional option contracts with actors in their key projects, especially new actors. This matter actually represents the interests of the entire Hollywood studio class.

Therefore, with Terry Semel's stance, Hollywood studio executives such as Joe Ross of Fox Films and Shirley Lansing of MGM United Artists have also spoken out, saying that they will resist the lack of contract spirit. filmmakers.

Simple words are always lacking in convincing, and some seemingly irrelevant trivial incidents happened immediately after, but made many Hollywood stars and filmmakers tremble in their hearts.

After finishing "Born on the Fourth of July" with Tom Cruise, Oliver Stone, who is preparing for his new film "The Gate", has publicly stated that he does not intend to invite Meg Ryan as his own to tell the gate. The biopic heroine of the band's story.

Subsequently, John Slesinger, a veteran Hollywood director who directed "Midnight Cowboy", also publicly clarified that his new film "Midnight Omen" has confirmed that Melanie Griffith will be used as the heroine. The news that G Ryan might be in the show is complete nonsense.

Immediately afterwards, it was reported that the well-known Hollywood photographer Barry Sonnenfeld, who had served as the photographer of famous films such as "Blood Labyrinth" and "Futurama", was preparing for his first directorial new film "The Addams Family" had a tough attitude. He told Paramount executives that if Paramount insisted on asking Meg Ryan to play the female lead, he would withdraw from the project. Meg Ryan collaborates.

Things happen again and again, as long as you are not stupid, you can probably see the problem.

Meg Ryan's feud with Daenerys Entertainment is almost public. The Hollywood actress who relied on "When Harry Met Sally" quickly became a top-notch Hollywood actress and soon after she became famous she and Daenerys Entertainment broke up signed the remaining two film option contracts.

Daenerys Entertainment and C had a conflict because of the "Rain Man" incident. In the end, the seemingly irrelevant Meg Ryan was terminated by C along with the main creators of "Rain Man".

Unlike Dustin Hoffman, Barry Levinson and Tom Cruise, who are already deeply entrenched in Hollywood, Meg Ryan has just become famous and has not yet established a firm foothold in Hollywood.

Then, the actress first opened her mouth after becoming famous, then terminated her contract with Daenerys Entertainment, and then participated in "Rocket Expert" that Paramount Pictures stole from Daenerys Entertainment. deeper and deeper.

Most importantly, the box office of "Rocket Expert" also ended in failure.

In Hollywood, you're nothing without the box office.

Coupled with the current public opinion atmosphere.

Most people who pay attention to this matter will flash a proverb in their minds: Beat the dog before the lion.

Beating a dog in front of a lion.

To use a more appropriate idiom in Chinese to describe it, kill chickens to scare monkeys.

Even a year ago, if Daenerys Entertainment wanted to ban a first-line actress, it was wishful thinking.

However, last year's 10-film plan directly linked most of Hollywood with Daenerys Entertainment, and five of the traditional seven companies got the projects in the 10-film plan.For the remaining two, MGM also began to move closer to Daenerys Entertainment because of the intervention of Australian capital.

In the end, Paramount did not get the project in the 10-film plan because of the two scripts of "Rocket Expert" and "Firebird Attack", so there is no need to give Daenerys entertainment face.

Although the "Rocket Expert" project failed, as long as Meg Ryan is willing to significantly reduce her salary and rely on the popularity of "When Harry Met Sally", Paramount's management is still happy to pick up a bargain.

It's just that Daenerys Entertainment may not be able to influence the decisions of Paramount executives, but it is still easy to exert influence on specific film projects. The main creators of "The Addams Family" publicly resisted the cooperation with Meg Ryan is the result of Amy's operation. Even if Paramount doesn't care about Daenerys Entertainment, these filmmakers are still looking forward to working with Daenerys Entertainment of.

After all, it is impossible for Paramount to force Meg Ryan against the wishes of all other main creators.

Outside of the Big Seven, under the leadership of Daenerys Entertainment, as long as there are other options, other second- and third-tier film companies simply can't afford to make enemies for Meg Ryan.

A first-line actress completely lost her foothold in Hollywood in the blink of an eye in the face of the strength of Daenerys Entertainment. When many Hollywood stars were afraid of the strength of Daenerys Entertainment, the "Batman" who was still somewhat unwilling : Wartime" actor Adam Baldwin was very clever to dispel all thoughts, and in an interview with "Entertainment Weekly", he took the initiative to express that he was very honored to be able to participate in the filming of "Batman" and would definitely try his best to play in the subsequent series. Well this role and so on.

After Adam Baldwin spoke, no matter whether he had some ideas or not, the other creators were also very smart to express their attitudes publicly or privately.

Therefore, this conflict that has not yet started quietly ended in an atmosphere of gossip.

A stick is always given a sweet date.

Daenerys Entertainment also announced later that because of the film's box office sales, it will issue an additional cash reward to all crew members who participated in the filming of "Batman: Beginning of War".

However, the total bonus for everyone was directly halved to 1000 million US dollars.

Whether it's $1000 million or $2000 million, it's nothing compared to what Daenerys Entertainment could get from Batman Begins.

The halving of the bonus is actually Daenerys Entertainment's statement on the previous 'rumors'.

Chapter 326 Red Sofa (Repair)

Darwin, Northern Australia.

The time was on the afternoon of January 1th. A car team drove into the parking lot of the Diamond Beach Casino Hotel near the sea in the south of the city. Many passers-by could not help but stop and watch.

This is a convoy that has obviously gone through a long journey, with a total of 11 vehicles. In addition to 8 off-road vehicles, there is also an oil tanker and two container trucks.

The bodies of the 11 vehicles were all covered with dust, and several of the off-road vehicles had obvious bump marks.

People who have similar experiences probably understand that this train team should have just crossed the Australian mainland. Both local and overseas travel enthusiasts like to have such an experience when they are in Australia.

However, compared to other travelers, this train team obviously can only be described by the word 'trench'.

Not to mention the team of top off-road vehicles, how many people travel directly with tank trucks and containers?

Simon pushed the door and stepped out of a Mercedes-Benz G460, wearing a simple T-shirt and jeans, and a pair of thick-soled boots on his feet.

After traveling through the mountains, rivers, canyons, and Gobi deserts of the Australian continent for a whole week, plus the previous trip to Antarctica, under the series of cold, snow, frost, wind, and sun, Simon's skin color became darker, and his whole body exudes a strong masculinity temperament.

Probably everyone has the idea of ​​traveling around the world.

Simon is no exception.

I didn't have such capital in my previous life. Now, since I have the opportunity, I must realize some of my dreams.

Driving an off-road vehicle to gallop across the endless Australian red sandstone Gobi, this feeling of wanton freedom between heaven and earth really makes people excited.After Christmas, it lasted for more than half a month from Melbourne to Antarctica and then across the entire Australian continent. The excitement that belongs to a 20-year-old young man returned during this trip.

Simon also made up his mind to make a similar trip every few years.

Seeing Simon get out of the car, the hotel manager greeted him warmly, and the people in the other cars also surrounded him.

There are a total of 31 people in a group for a one-week trip.

However, there are actually only 6 people who are regarded as the masters, namely Simon and Janet, the fourth son of the Johnston family, David Johnston and his girlfriend Leslie Wickett, and the fifth son, Patrick Johnston and his wife. His girlfriend Sarah Keyston, and others are bodyguard drivers and other followers.

Since the conditions are sufficient, of course you must give yourself the best protection.

The natural environment in the Australian outback is still very harsh.

Simon also didn't feel that the fun of traveling with more followers would be reduced.

When he came to Australia this time, the first thing Simon experienced was a formal engagement ceremony. The result of Raymond Johnston's insistence, the old man was a very traditional person in his bones.

After Christmas comes a trip to the South Pole, just Simon and Janet.

Of course, if you don't count the followers.

New Year's Day is spent on a cruise ship in Antarctica, which feels like a little honeymoon.

Returning from Antarctica, began this trip across the Australian continent.

Compared with the two-person world of the Antarctic trip, this time they brought the Johnston family's fourth and fifth children and their respective girlfriends.

David Johnston has no interest in traveling, claiming he still has a dissertation to do.After this reason was raised, the whole family unanimously agreed to take him by force.Patrick Johnston wanted to follow Simon and Janet during their trip to the South Pole, but was rejected, so he won't miss it this time.

Everyone was greeting each other, Janet turned from the co-pilot, raised the satellite phone in her hand and said to Simon and the others: "Mom said she has already started preparing dinner, let's go back to the mansion for dinner tonight."

Patrick Johnston was whispering something in his girlfriend's ear, and immediately said: "Why are you going back so early? Sister, why don't we go to Bali, it's very close to here, two hours away Able to?"

Janet gave her younger brother a blank look, and said, "You've been wandering around for half a year, Pat, when you go back this time, Dad will arrange a job for you."

Patrick Johnston is actually three years older than Simon and has been studying at the University of Birmingham in the UK before.

However, compared with David Johnston, a high-achieving student at Cambridge, Patrick has achieved nothing academically. He has not been able to get a degree after 6 years since he entered school. Qing retired, and then idled in London for more than half a year, and was forcibly called home by the old man at the end of the year.

Janet was indifferent to Patrick's request, waving an index finger and said: "One hour, take a shower and change clothes, and then we will go home. If you don't go back, you can only stay here and drink the sea water. Dad will put Your credit card is suspended."

After finishing speaking, Janet ignored her brother's protest, and walked towards the hotel building under the guidance of the manager, holding Simon's arm.

Darwin Airport is near this hotel. After more than an hour, a group of people boarded Simon's Boeing 767 at the airport, and the convoy left here will be handled by others.

After the plane took off smoothly, Patrick began to wander around the cabin restlessly, and then quickly returned to a small living room in the center of the cabin, where everyone gathered.

He leaned behind Janet and Leslie and glanced at the decoration design of the office building that the two women were discussing. Patrick came to Simon who was chatting with David, sat down on the armrest of the sofa and said to Simon: "Dude, what do you want?" Why don't I go to Hollywood, you can arrange any job for me, it's better to pick up girls more conveniently."

Before Simon could speak, Sarah Keyston, who was sitting cross-legged on the single sofa next to him playing a handheld game console, looked up at Patrick and said, "I can hear you."

Not to be outdone, Patrick said, "Sarah, why don't we break up?"

"Talk to your dad and my dad, bastard, do you think I want to be your girlfriend?"

"We are all adults, Sarah, you should have the courage to resist your father's arrangement."

"Sorry, I don't have the guts."

After Sarah Keyston finished speaking, she simply ignored Patrick and continued to play her game console with her head down.

Simon listened to the conversation between the two with great interest, and glanced at the very punk girl next to her in a large black sleeveless T-shirt.

Sarah Keyston is from the Keyston family who also runs a mining business in Western Australia.The Keyston family and the Johnston family are family friends. Sarah Keyston’s father Louis Keyston and Raymond Johnston are very close friends. It is said that they carried guns together and went to the same window together. That's why there is such a clichéd story of dolls kissing each other.

However, according to Janet, the two families do not actually have the meaning of an arranged marriage as in the conversation between Patrick and Sara, and it is very random.

It’s just that Patrick and Sara have always disliked each other since they were young. They fought when they were young, bickered when they grew up, and occasionally had a cold war for a while, but they never separated. Later, they went to the University of Birmingham together for 6 years. At the same time, they failed to get a degree and were expelled from the school. They are a very strange pair of happy lovers.

Through this period of getting along, Simon felt that this black-haired girl who likes to wear heavy eye shadow and is a bit taciturn and has a famous Shakespeare quote 'all devils are here (the devil is here)' tattooed on her right arm is very important in her relationship with Patrick. The middle is obviously the one in control.

Patrick got bored from his girlfriend, and in a blink of an eye, he forgot his request just now, and asked Simon again: "Dude, what's the password for the front cabin, let me go and see?"

Simon raised his chin towards Janet: "Ask your sister."

Patrick looked over.

Janet said casually: "123456."

Patrick jumped up immediately, not forgetting his girlfriend: "Sarah, do you want to come together?"

Sarah Keyston didn't even raise her head: "No."

Patrick ran out indifferently, then came back quickly, and asked his elder sister very hurt: "Are you sure it's 123456?"

Janet gave him a blank look: "That's Simon and I's bedroom, what are you doing in there?"

Patrick exaggeratedly stretched out his hand and gestured: "The bedroom occupies one-third of the cabin, do you play tennis in it?"

Janet simply ignored her younger brother, picked up a page of office design and showed it to Simon, saying, "How about this one?

The Daenerys studios in Los Angeles have already started renovation work.

Some time ago, Leslie Wheater intentionally or unintentionally tested whether she could give herself a chance to practice design, and even encouraged her boyfriend to help with the project.

Leslie Wheatett majored in architectural design at Cambridge, mainly for her daughter to follow her father's career.Because Leslie Whittaker's father opened an architectural design company in London, which is not large, but not small, probably the kind that can't undertake the design work of the entire Daenerys Studios but is responsible for an area of ​​​​the administrative district. It is more than enough level.

Of course, the construction of Daenerys Studios has been completed, and only the subsequent interior decoration needs to be designed.
