Legendary Hollywood Producer - Chapter 167

Early the next morning, Christopher Nolan went to Manhai Entertainment.

What has been decided must naturally be established first.

Say hello to the front desk, and Nolan can easily meet Roman.

When Roman saw Christopher Nolan’s arrival, he was in a great mood. I found it again in such a short time, and I would definitely not do it if I didn’t have any idea.

“How about, Director Christopher Nolan, what is your choice?” Roman asked straightaway after greeting each other in the office.

“I like the story very much, so I decided to be the director of this project.” Nolan said casually while drinking coffee.

Although Roman has been mentally prepared for this, after all, his previous life was also a project in Warner Bros. and DC Comics that Christopher Nolan and Legendary Films persuaded to join, but he was relieved to hear him say this himself. .

If he refuses to direct, then choose another director to be the director of this series, Roman really has no good candidates.

“Then, you find your agent to go to Warner Bros. Pictures with me, and the written contract must be confirmed by them.”

Although Roman is in charge of the project, all the choices still have to be made by Warner. They cannot and will not really leave it to Roman to operate, but they will try to minimize their involvement in the production of filming. , Obviously will not be absent. People with powers like directors must give them a purpose.

“Okay, I’ll get in touch now.”

……

“Director Nolan, hello, I didn’t expect us to meet again so soon.” Nolan called his agent, who asked him to come to CAA headquarters. He didn’t expect that as soon as he arrived, Kevin Hoween would Appeared.

Nolan was a little confused, but still put on a polite and polite smile, “Kevin, it’s nice to meet you.”

“CAA adjusted your economic contract in view of your potential. This is a new contract. You can take a look.” After a few words of greeting, Kevin Howen said the business.

Nolan, who was more confused, took the file and looked at it carefully.

The terms of this new contract are better than those he signed before, except that the number of years has been increased to three years, the commission is lower, and the business resources have also increased, which is more beneficial to him.

What does CAA want to do? Nolan couldn’t help thinking.

“How? Are you willing to renew the contract with CAA?” Kevin Hoween on the other side smiled.

The conditions are better, there is no reason not to sign. Although Christopher Nolan feels that CAA has no intentions, he has nothing to worry about. This is not the Overlord Act. If he disagrees, he can choose to terminate the contract at any time and vote for another family. The compensation required for breach of contract is only a small part, and no brokerage company will do anything in this respect and go to the court. They are simply untenable and will lose the case at any time.

“Well, you can.” Without thinking about it, Christopher Nolan renewed his contract with CAA under the witness of his lawyer.

“Where is my agent? I have something to look for him.” As soon as he walked in, he was bewildered by the operation of CAA. Only now did Nolan remember what he was doing.

“Your affairs, I can also provide related services.” Kevin-Howen said euphemistically.

CAA implements multi-agent cross-management for big-name talents with potential. What Kevin Hoween said is not wrong.

Nolan thought for a while, then continued: “I intend to take over the directorship of Batman, which was co-produced by Manhai Entertainment and Warner Pictures. I need you to negotiate with Warner about my income and try to negotiate better.”

Filming is not for charity, and there is no need to shirk what you should fight for.

“What are the conditions you want to fight for?” Kevin Hoween asked.

“Box office share, the initial total box office share should be as high as possible.” Christopher Nolan said directly, obviously he has also thought about this aspect.

Kevin Hoween nodded, expressing understanding. The early gross box office means that after the North American movies are down, the director’s income in this area must be settled first. As for getting better rewards for customers, this is what CAA wants to do, and the higher the director’s salary, the more shares they can get, which can be regarded as a win-win situation. There is no reason not to try their best.

The reason why Christopher Nolan emphasized this aspect is also because these large studios like to delay the step of dividing profits in the future. After all, every time the money stays with them for a day, there will be additional income generated. If it is not mentioned, If you ask, don’t even think about getting the reward you deserve within three to five years.

Every year, it is commonplace to encounter complaints about interest disputes in Los Angeles courts.

After discussing his demands, Christopher Nolan was about to leave, and Kevin Hoween suddenly made a suggestion.

“Nolan, CAA, like Manhai Entertainment, is also very optimistic about the profit prospects of this series. Therefore, we have to increase the bargaining chip on you. Have you ever thought about leading CAA to provide packaging services for Warner and try to make the crew as possible The control is in your own hands, so that you can play more freely when shooting on the set. Think about it, most of the shooting teams are acquaintances, which is also conducive to the realization of your ideas.”

This proposal really moved Christopher Nolan very much. He asked, “What do you want to do?”

“You go and talk to Roman, we are running the “Batman” project together.”

“Leave Warner aside?” Nolan said in a bit of astonishment. Why does this idea seem so unrealistic.

“No, no, no, the dominance of this project is on Roman, as long as he is persuaded, this proposal can be easily realized. How to set up a film crew also requires a professional behind-the-scenes team, and CAA has recruited talents from various industries to fully satisfy the shooting Time’s technical support. Even if this service is not packaged, quite a few CAA contractors will enter the “Batman” project. I’m just a better choice to optimize this project, and I don’t want to hide CAA. the meaning of.”

The CAA executives have conducted a detailed investigation on this opportunity to participate, and they have completely figured out their ideas and which aspect is more appropriate to start with.

Obviously, co-director Nolan and producer Roman, try CAA together again, and the chances of success are infinite. After all, Warner Bros. Pictures also wanted to complete the production of this movie, and most of the funding for the filming was provided by Manhai Entertainment. They wouldn’t care about it anyway.

A part of the small benefits is only given to CAA, and they charge a little more for the financing of providing packaged services, which is not too outrageous.

“I’ll try it.” Nolan said cautiously. He also has a share in the beneficiaries of this proposal, and it won’t be great to try.
