Chapter 245 The big dark horse with $40 million in the first weekend(2/2)
"Sorry, Mickey, these creative staff need me to cheer them up." Ronald apologized for coming late.
"Ha, you have one of the healthiest schedules in Hollywood. Only a few academics like Spielberg and Lucas do not like to socialize and like to stay with their families." Mickey.
Kanter said it was okay. Many of his clients drank and gambled until late at night before calling him drunk.
"How much do you think we need to pay in compensation for this case?"
"I think it's under half a million, would you like a quick settlement?"
"I asked someone to contact me and found out that one of the actor's eyes was really blind. This made a big fuss..."
This incident was actually a commotion caused by the joint efforts of Minahan and Jean-Claude Van Damme. During the filming of "Cyborg", Jean-Claude Van Damme had a fight scene with a black actor named Jackson Pinckney.
There is a switch in Jean-Claude Van Damme's shoe that can flash out a knife. He takes off and defeats the opponent with his feet. This is a unique routine of this apocalyptic action movie.
Unfortunately, during the filming, Jean-Claude Van Damme used too much force and there was something wrong with the prop knife, which scratched Jackson Pinckney's eyeball.
At that time, Minahan's cannon was in chaos, and many actors did not even buy basic insurance. Jackson Pinckney didn't take it too seriously and went home to recuperate.
Afterwards, his eyeballs became inflamed, red and swollen, and he remembered to go to the hospital for treatment. As a result, his condition worsened and he lost sight in one eye.
When Cyborg was released and entered the top five at the box office, the actor immediately had a lawyer come to sue Daydream on his behalf.
Although it was Jean-Claude Van Damme's fault and the lack of insurance and medical personnel was Cannon's fault, in America, lawsuits always follow the money.
The lawyer would rather let go of Jean-Claude Van Damme and Cannon, who were more responsible, and cited some labor protection cases to sue Daydream, who had almost no responsibility. Because only Ronald had the money to pay compensation.
"If you are willing to settle, I can try to solve it at a lower price." Mickey Kanter admired Ronald's decision very much. Instead of going to court, let the news media know that Daydream may be safe.
It is better to solve the hidden dangers in advance and then ask the unlucky actor to sign a confidentiality agreement.
The news media must take this kind of gossip out of context. The best way is not to refute it, but to prohibit anyone from reporting it from the source. This kind of compensation comes with a confidentiality agreement. Once the plaintiff tells any reporter the inside story, he will face a high amount of compensation.
fine.
"Ask that Jackson Pinckney, if he still wants to be an actor, if there is a need for extras in the future, he will be given the opportunity first." Ronald still thinks of this kind of actor who has an accident during filming.
Full of sympathy.
"That would be even better. If he wants to get your check in the future, he will be less likely to speak ill of your company." Mickey Kanter was very happy when he saw Ronald taking the road like this. He has such a wise customer.
