If there are other studios with suitable movies that want to find him, he can't make them. (Actually, it can still be negotiated, and the scripts produced by other studios may not be as suitable for Ericsson as Paramount's.

Dee Murphy).

"It's not like before... before..." Bruce Willis had a word he couldn't remember how to say. He heard his agent say it.

"Just like the big studio system in the past, actors are exclusive to the studio..." Ronald continued.

"That's right...the big studio system is very bad for actors."

"But it's good for the director, you can shoot with whoever you want..." Ronald thought to himself, has he hit the right button for Bruce Willis?

"So that's the case, then it's hard for me to imagine that if I had signed an Eddie Murphy-like contract with 20th Century Fox for the movie I just made, I would still be able to make it..."

Bruce Willis is talking about his new film "In Country?", which he collaborated with Canadian director Norman Jewison. In this film, he plays a Vietnam War veteran who suffers from PTSD syndrome.

Interference, only his niece, a 17-year-old girl, was kind to him.

Now is no longer the time for Hollywood to get together to make Vietnam War blockbusters. Such a film with a strong director's personal touch and a Vietnam War background is not expected to be well received at the box office. Bruce Willis also went there for reviews and awards.

The film will be released by Warner Bros. in the fall.

To be honest, if he signed an exclusive contract like Eddie Murphy, he would most likely not have the chance to make this kind of movie.

"Okay, I can accept a salary of $7.5 million, but can I also add a profit-sharing clause?" Bruce Willis told Ronald what he really thought.

In fact, if Willis said something directly to 20th Century Fox or producer Joel Silver, both parties would doubt each other's sincerity in cooperation.

But if the message is conveyed through an intermediary like Ronald, whom both parties trust, everyone knows that what they say will be close to their own bottom line, and there will be no such thing as a false shot or a deliberately high price to mislead each other.

"Now, then, Bruce. I really doubt that after the Jack Nicholson incident, anyone would give you a share contract like a poor pauper like me..."

Ronald mentioned two things. The first thing is that Jack Nicholson received a huge share of income for playing the Joker in "Batman".

There is certainly an element of luck in this matter, because no one thought that a movie adapted from a comic book like "Batman" could achieve such a big commercial success as "Superman" ten years ago.

Moreover, Jack Nicholson signed a global box office sharing contract, rather than a profit sharing that is convenient for accounting. This makes the distributor Warner Bros. very likely to lose tens of millions.

After this incident, most major studios were very cautious about giving out such inconvenient box office share when operating such commercial films. They would rather increase the stars' salaries to a ridiculous level.

level, and are not willing to let them get the share rights anymore.

After all, given a fixed number of remuneration, as those senior managers, it can be said from a financial perspective that it is because of the market price.

But given such an unimaginable share figure, when the annual report is disclosed, Wall Street analysts will besiege them, saying that their box office estimates are completely wrong, and they are simply not suitable for working in such a large studio.

The second thing is "Look Who's Talking", which Ronald asked Bruce Willis to dub. The film directed by Amy Heckerling has completed post-production and will be released this fall.

Because it was a small production invested by Ronald, he had no money to pay Bruce Willis a salary commensurate with his status, so he had to give him a share contract.

Bruce Willis didn't take it seriously and completed the dubbing of the little baby in a weekend with only half a helping hand.

"Hahahaha, that's not the same thing at all..." Bruce Willis laughed, how could such a movie be on par with 20th Century Fox's 50 million-invested large-scale production in terms of box office revenue?

Finally, Ronald agreed to convey his request for an increase in salary to the producer, and Bruce Willis was relieved, knowing that Hollywood would not treat his celebrity just because his salary was much lower than that of Eddie Murphy.

There is some doubt.

It happened that Demi Moore and Diane had almost finished chatting there, so Ronald asked to take his leave.

In the end, it was Demi Moore who held Diane's hand and sent the couple an extra mile to the driveway at the gate.

Dane was already in the car. Suddenly, Demi Moore took Ronald's arm, leaned close to his ear, and said something in a low voice.

"Ronnie, let me star in your movie about ghosts. Is it time for you to direct me?"

"Huh?" Ronald's ears were very itchy from Demi's blowing...

"I have obtained Diane's consent." Demi Moore hit Ronald's arm hard, then leaned down and waved desperately to Diane, who was already in the car.

"Accidentally", the low-cut dress exposed a piece of white.

"What did you promise him?" After Ronald got into the car, he waved goodbye to Demi Moore, and then turned back to ask Diane.

"I promised him that if you have the opportunity to direct his movie, I will let you go to work." Dane also put his chest close to Ronald's arm, hugging him tightly and refusing to let go.

"I've been very busy every year since I entered Hollywood. Now that I'm married to you and our child is about to be born, I want to have a good rest. Don't you think it's a long time to do nothing like this, go home on time every day, and wait for the birth of your child?

Are you happy?"

"But in this case, all the other actresses in Hollywood will scold me," Diane chuckled. Hollywood actresses all know that Ronald is good at filming women-centered scenes.

However, it is difficult to find a suitable big star to be the leading actor in a movie about ghosts. If it is a small production, Diane is not worried.

"But I feel that my current life is very happy, and I don't want to give up the days of going home on time to see you every day." Ronald actually still yearns for this ordinary nine-to-five family life.

"You always have to go out and make movies..." Diane actually also likes this kind of family life. The two of them had shortcomings in their families when they were young, so they cherish this time very much.

"Unless someone is willing to invest money, let me shoot the entire movie in Hollywood, Los Angeles. In this way, I can go home to see you at six o'clock every day..."

Ronald also laughed. How could there be such an easy target nowadays who would be willing to invest in a movie like this that was all shot in Los Angeles?
