However, after Cao Yu heard the news, he could only breathe a sigh of relief, but it was not time to relax completely.

Or to be more realistic, let alone Cao Yu, who is now just a quasi-superstar actor in Hollywood, even if Cao Yu is now a superstar actor in Hollywood, Cao Yu can't even think about completely relaxing.

Let's put it this way, as long as Cao Yu doesn't quit the entertainment industry for a day, then Cao Yu will never have a moment to completely relax, because the circle is so big, and the people in the circle, no matter what their status, are always swimming against the current, and you are up and down.

In a fight, there is never a moment of complete relaxation.

For now, the good news about Asia is just a retreat and a safe haven for Cao Yu.

Cao Yu is currently particularly concerned about the negotiations between Jerry and Walt Disney.

Cao Yu has been sitting in CAA's office for several days, just waiting for the result of the negotiation between Jerry and Walt Disney. Then he will use the result to see when he will have time to return to China, and then share the time with Zhang Yi

Someone explained that they took some time to film the "Hero" scene.

"Dunk dunk." A polite knock on the door rang. Cao Yu, who was sitting on the office chair in the conference room, knew who it was without having to guess. After all, his three managers had just asked for leave at this time, and he was in the eyes of others.

There is a kind of decline.

And CAA is a very snobbish place. No one is willing to make friends with Cao Yu, except the staff around Cao Yu, so Cao Yu said: "Come in Jerry."

There was no squeaking sound. After all, this is the headquarters building of CAA, one of the three agencies in Hollywood. The decoration is very good.

Jerry ran towards Cao Yu with excitement on his face, and then took out the document under his arm as he ran. When he walked to Cao Yu, he had already opened the document. Cao Yu took a look and saw that it was full of

I don't understand all the English terms very well.

But Cao Yu roughly guessed that it should be a contract document related to "Pirates of the Caribbean".

"It seems the result is very good." Seeing Jerry's excited expression, Cao Yu didn't even get up from his chair, but turned the chair under his butt, saying with a ruffian-like attitude.

"Eight percent." Jerry ignored Cao Yu's teasing and directly stated a number.

"Eight percent?!" Cao Yu was confused at first and didn't react, but then he immediately understood what Jerry meant by this number.

And after hearing this number, the tone suddenly rose a lot, turning the question mark into an exclamation mark.

Don't blame Cao Yu for being so excited. If Cao Yu understands the eight percent that Jerry said correctly, it is his salary in "Pirates of the Caribbean", which is eight percent of the total box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean".

!

If others don’t know what this number is, how can Cao Yu not know it?

"Pirates of the Caribbean 1: The Curse of the Black Pearl" in Cao Yu's memory has made more than 700 million U.S. dollars around the world. If this 81% is converted, that is 56 million before tax!

Still in U.S. dollars, converted into RMB, that’s nearly 400 million!

This Ta Miao is more profitable than the little fresh meat.

And in this calculation, it still does not include "Pirates of the Caribbean" starring Cao Yu, but "Pirates of the Caribbean" starring Johnny Depp.

Cao Yu felt that his performance in "Pirates of the Caribbean", among other things, relied solely on his acting skills, coupled with his systematic temperament transformation with billions of box office points in stock, and finally coupled with the "Pirates of the Caribbean" that he still carries today.

Spider-Man] fame with a box office of 1.3 billion.

700 million?

That's definitely far more than that.

Cao Yu was confident that he could get this number to one billion, so when calculated, it would be 80 million U.S. dollars. If converted into RMB, it would be 560 million.

Of course, in today's world, only Cao Yu can know these numbers.

In the eyes of others, [Pirates of the Caribbean] is still a niche A-level production. Let alone 700 million, it is 400 to 500 million. They think that is a bit unrealistic.

"Really talking about eight percent?" The matter was so important that Cao Yu asked Jerry again worriedly. After all, this number of box office dividends was a bit too outrageous.

Not to mention 8%, even the 5% originally proposed by Cao Yu was actually a very outrageous request, because even though Walt Disney is the producer of "Pirates of the Caribbean".

However, the profits from "Pirates of the Caribbean" do not all go to Walt Disney, but are divided with the theaters. Walt Disney only gets a little over 50% of the profits at most.

That is 523% of the revenue, and the rest will be given to the theaters.

And this 523% profit, after excluding the cost, there is not much left. Let alone 8%, even 5% is considered a big deal.

So Cao Yu was shocked by the result of Jerry's talk, so shocked that he didn't believe it.

Jerry also knew that it was useless to tell him directly, so he turned the contract in his hand to the film contract page and handed it to Cao Yu to read.

Cao Yu took over the contract from Jerry and then focused on the content of the film contract.

The words clearly written in white and black are eight percent of the total box office share, which is Cao Yu's salary for starring as Jack Sparrow in "Pirates of the Caribbean".

After confirming again, Cao Yu's breathing became a little rapid.

Cao Yu was a little nervous about the contract because he was too excited.

"Cao?" Jerry didn't understand why Cao Yu was so excited when he saw this result.

In his opinion, it is the right path for actors to earn real money for acting and not bear the risk of the film's success or failure.

How can anyone not take real money, but instead take a share of the box office for such a frivolous thing, tying their own interests to the movie? This is evil.

"Ah? It's nothing, I just have some..." Cao Yu did not continue.

Let's call it exciting. What if Jerry asks himself again why he is excited? Could it be that I am a reborn person, so I know that "Pirates of the Caribbean" will definitely be successful. If the salary is set this way, will my profit be greater?

Isn't that funny? So if you can still fool it, just fool it.

Fortunately, Jerry didn't pay too much attention to why Cao Yu was so excited about the 8% share of the total box office.

"Cao, I think we should make plans early." Jerry looked at Cao Yu and suddenly said this.

"What plans have you made in advance?" Cao Yu held the [Pirates of the Caribbean] contract in his hand like a bank check and asked with some confusion: "What plans have you made in advance?"

"Cao, I mean, what if." Jerry was thinking about how to express his words more implicitly, "I mean what if [Pirates of the Caribbean] fails, what will happen to your fame and your position in major Hollywood movies?"

In the eyes of film and television companies and directors, it will be a heavy blow, and the fame you have accumulated as [Spider-Man] may be consumed.

Although the contract for "Pirates of the Caribbean" has been negotiated, I read that it will be a while before the filming of "Pirates of the Caribbean" starts, and it won't start filming until March.

It’s only the beginning of January now, should we take advantage of this time and find other movies to shoot?”
