Mr. Zhou's Chinese restaurant.

Chunhua box.

Martin recounted (made up) his inspiration for the script.

He looked at Harvey with his eyes and said, "Mr. Weinstein, this script is full of my heart. So, add money! "

Harvey Weinstein, who was still immersed in Martin's narration, was stunned.

I was a little confused by this sudden turn.

After a few seconds of reacting, the kid brought the topic back to the negotiation.

Looking at Martin, who was only twelve years old in front of him, but could talk about interests without burden like an adult, Harvey even had the illusion that he was not facing a child, but an adult Jew as shrewd as he was.

"Martin, you also ask to be the main character of this movie. Do you know how hard it is to be the main character of a movie in Hollywood unless you're a big guy? Of course, the kind of independent film that can't even enter the theater doesn't count, but your script is obviously the mainstream style. "

Martin smiled slightly and did not speak again, Jeff knew that it was his turn again.

"Harvey, Martin is not an ordinary child star, in addition to his acting career, he also has the blessing of his status as a writer and musician, you can't look at him with the eyes of ordinary young actors, his fame among child stars can already be compared to Macaulay Culkin (starring in "Home Alone") in 1991."

"Harvey, it's really impossible for newcomers to get this price, but you can't generalize Martin and those ordinary child stars."

"You know, Disney gave Martin 100,000 US dollars plus 5% of the North American box office share in "Born a Couple".

"Damn Disney!" After Harvey cursed secretly, he continued to argue: "But he only has one movie. "

"But this movie is a great success, the North American box office is about to exceed 100 million, and the box office in other regions except North America is about to exceed 40 million!"

Jeff and Harvey are at loggerheads.

Martin began to taste the food in his spare time.

This boiling fish is not spicy enough, this Kung Pao chicken is a little sweet, and this Zuo Zongtang chicken can also be regarded as Chinese food....

Finally, Harvey compromised.

It's really Martin's performance on "Born a Couple" is too amazing.

This film, written and directed by him, invested less than 16 million, but received a global box office of nearly 130 million, and the return on investment can be described as extremely high.

"Okay, okay, Jeff, you're really a devil, $3.8 million, Martin's salary is almost close to a second-tier movie star."

"Hey, that's not high, you know that Macaulay Carr was paid $8 million in 1991. And Martin's 3.8 million also includes the screenwriter's money. Jeff laughed.

Martin was actually satisfied.

This price is indeed not high, but it is not low, and it is necessary to compare with whom.

You must know that in "Born a Couple", although he got 5% of the North American box office share, even if the film's North American box office successfully exceeded 100 million, his income was only between 5 million and 6 million US dollars.

$3.8 million.

In fact, many Hollywood second-tier stars do not get this salary.

Hollywood stars have a serious polarization in their incomes, and the top coffee takes all, and the salary can reach tens of millions.

The salaries of second-tier stars down are like a landslide, plummeting to about five million.

This has to be a second-tier star with commercial appeal.

Those who make a name for themselves in independent films and art films earn less.

Macaulay Carr is a special case among child stars, this can get a salary of 8 million close to the top coffee superstar, because the first part of "Home Alone" is close to 300 million at the North American box office alone, the global box office exceeds 500 million, and the investment is only 18 million US dollars, breaking a number of records

At the time, it became the most profitable film of Twentieth Century Fox Film Company in the United States, and after its Christmas release that year, it became the highest-grossing Christmas movie in American history.

At the same time, it also broke the Guinness World Record and became the highest-grossing comedy film, which was later broken, but it was a miracle in world film history to achieve such a high box office in 1990.

And the second part of "Home Alone" can't be less than him, the protagonist, to be asked for this sky-high salary.

Look at Macaulay Carr's departure from the "Home Alone" series, the salary immediately cut off.

What's more, Martin also got the investment share that he valued the most, 40%, which is what he valued the most.

"Nice to work with."

"Nice to work with."

Business matters were negotiated, and everyone became good friends again.

Harvey smiled and said to Martin: "Martin, although this film is a horror film, I look at it and feel like I can win an award, you have to act well, and when the time comes, take the youngest Oscar actor back." "

Martin shrugged, "I try my best. "

............

Meyers' home.

Linda is complaining to her husband.

"Grant, your heart is too big, so relieved to let our baby son go talk to Hollywood vampires about those interests?"

"Please, Linda, our son is special, maybe he can't fully do it now, but after a period of adaptation, none of this is a problem for him."

Grant was obviously extremely confident in Martin, "You should know that our little Martin has enough ability and intelligence to face all this. And, isn't there still Jeff! "

Then Grant frowned and said, "Now what I am distressed about is not that my son is not mature enough, but that he is too mature, and sometimes I have an extremely strong illusion when I talk to him, feeling that I am not talking to a child, but to have an equal communication with a peer." "

"I, a father, have not yet enjoyed the worship of my own children, and I am about to become an admirer of my own children!"

Linda was amused by Grant's funny words and quipped, "How about we have another one?" "

Grant's eyes lit up, "It's a good choice, God forbid, don't send us another little genius this time, one is enough." "

Now it was Linda's turn to make a bitter face, "Are you serious? However, my career has only just begun. "

Linda worked as a housewife at home for a long time after giving birth to Martin, and she didn't start working again until Martin was six years old, and she didn't want to come again.

Grant laughed, "I'm scared, I'm joking too." "

He immediately changed the subject and said, "Seriously, we should probably go and get Martin IQ tested." "

On the other side, Jeff, who was driving Martin home, also said: "Martin, have you ever thought about measuring your IQ?" "

"IQ test, why do you talk about this?"

"This will confirm your name as a 'genius', and we have another propaganda focus."

Martin thought about it carefully, but refused.

He wasn't sure if measuring his IQ in a human way would detect a mental retardation or neuropathy.

You know, the logic of the succubus's thinking is very different from that of humans.

Let's be careful!

Maybe when you have fully figured out the behavior and thinking logic of human beings, you can give it a try.
