"If all this is just a joke, it would be much simpler." Faced with Terence's surrender, Lance did not continue to be aggressive, and sarcastically said softly, and instead continued to be unreasonable, he said with the flow, "What I know is very simple. Robert met with the dealer, the paparazzi took photos, and then came to the door. I paid some price to get the negative. I hope this matter ends here, but for us, this matter should not be revealed."

Externally, things can come to an end; but what about internally?

"Of course, this is something that none of us want to see. Believe me, I have now been occupied by anger and can't even breathe." Terence expressed his serious attitude in a relaxed tone, conveying his apology in this way, but then changed the subject, "In fact, you can leave this matter to us."

Terence keenly captured the key and expressed dissatisfaction politely - Lance paid the price? What exactly is it? Lance said that paparazzi threatened him, so what kind of paparazzi was? Are you sure Lance has nothing to do with this matter? Of course, these are just speculations. In a flash, what Terence is really complaining about is Lance's arbitrary. Originally, this matter was related to Robert, and it would be better to leave it to the agency team and public relations team to handle it, but Lance wanted to stand up. Even if he paid a heavy price, he would be a reckless person.

Lance immediately heard the tactfulness in Terence's words, "So, what are you going to deal with? What to do with the transaction?" The subtext is that although the innovative artist agency has a big family and a big business, what paparazzi needs now is news about Reims, which is also the fundamental reason why the paparazzi came to Reims, who is a producer. Even if Lance told Terence, they could do very limitedly. It is very likely that they would still ask to come to Reims in the end, so the cost of Reims solving the problem may be rising.

Terence choked, and he couldn't refute it, right?

"So, are you sure you're fine now? Is there anything else you need help?" Terrence took the initiative to provide help and express their kindness. In fact, the deep meaning is to expose the matter, or to continue to use Robert Downey Jr. to play "Iron Man".

"Yes." Lance's direct answer caught Terence off guard again, "I need to re-develop a contract. If Robert's like this happens again during the filming and promotional period, it is not just about termination of the contract, but also about compensation for the losses."

Terence was a little surprised. It was not that Lance's request was "excessive". On the contrary, it was that Lance's request was too reasonable and simple. Originally, they were the one who came to the door during this cooperation, and today's incident was also a disadvantage. Terence is now unaware of it and has no position to argue with Lance. At this stage, in order to maintain cooperation, even if Lance makes some excessive requests, they cannot refuse. But in fact, there is nothing wrong with Lance's request and is completely in line with Hollywood's industry rules.

The relevant rules in Hollywood are very complicated and detailed. Not only are there contracts that stipulate that artists are not allowed to smoke in public - most of Disney's child stars have signed such contracts; but also contracts stipulate the time, location and partner of the artist's date. For example, a movie decides to hype the scandal of the male and female protagonists, then during the scandal, both parties are not allowed to have dates in private, because once they are caught, the entire publicity plan will be over. As for the date details of this scandal, they will be clearly stipulated in the contract, and the agent contacts a familiar reporter to perform a pose for a record.

In situations like Robert, even if Lance doesn't ask, Terence will ask Robert and the innovative artist agency to sign a provision internally because they all know clearly how terrible the lethality of negative news is when he was popular all over the world as a popular lover. When Hugh Grant was popular all over the world, he was exposed for a **** scandal, and the whole nation was sensation. The public relations company spent countless energy to suppress things.

Lance's request was too reasonable, which caught Terence off guard. He was ready for a tug-of-war, but Lance's attack was so light that it was powerless. Terence suddenly burst out, "No problem, I will discuss the details of the contract with me, and then...?"

The words were left blank, and Lance continued, "Just send them to Theo's office."

Terence apologized again, and then Lance also said that after the contract was signed, he would hand over the negatives to Terence. As for how to deal with it, it will be decided by the team behind Robert. After hanging up the phone, Terence let out a long sigh and couldn't help but look at Lance with admiration. "It seems that he is an artist after all, not a businessman."

For artists, works are the most important, but for merchants, interests are. Judging from Lance's previous works, whether it is against the media or conflict with actors, it should be due to his paranoidness and fanaticism about the works. Even his dispute with Warner Bros., Sony Pictures, and Disney seems to be the same. This also means that Lance's code of conduct has traces - the work is Lance's weakness, which is really good news for Terence, because Lance's behavior can be predicted in the future. Unlike businessmen, they are cunning and tricky, and they will never let go easily when they bite their interests. Even if they understand the rules of behavior, they have no way to start. They can only exchange interests for interests, and there is no other way.

Perhaps for those producers or production companies, artists are the most troublesome because of their stubbornness and refusal to compromise; but for agents, artists are much easier to deal with than businessmen.

Terence then held an emergency meeting with his colleagues to discuss the follow-up handling plan and negotiate the conditions with Lance. This was just the first step. After all, Lance was the same as the producer, but paparazzi and the media were not sure. During the meeting, Chaos Pictures fax was sent.

Terence flipped through it casually, then was stunned. He originally thought it was just a supplementary clause, but he didn't expect that Chaos Pictures actually sent the entire contract back to the back. He raised his head and looked at his assistant, "Did you get it wrong?"

"No." The assistant shook his head, "I called to confirm, this one was the one who faxed it, yes."

Terence frowned slightly, and had an ominous premonition in his heart, but he temporarily suppressed the strangeness and began to read the entire contract in detail. Seeing the key point, Terence couldn't help but burst out laughing, his eyes were full of helplessness, and he raised the contract hard and wanted to tear it apart, but his anger suddenly subsided and threw the contract on the table speechlessly.

"What's wrong?" Wade Russell asked. Terence didn't say anything and pushed the contract over. Wade quickly flipped through it, and his eyebrows gathered in the middle bit by bit. Looking at Wade's expression, Mark Johnson also became anxious, "What's wrong?" He grabbed the contract and flipped through it, Mark's face immediately became like the bottom of the pot.

Chaos Pictures not only added prohibitions on drug abuse and alcohol abuse, but also revised the terms of Robert Downey Jr.'s pay contract.

Originally, Robert was not a first-tier actor, and even the second-tier actor was a bit reluctant. The ten-year trough was nothing more than a talk. So after they agreed, Robert signed "Iron Man" with a salary of 4.5 million US dollars. If he starred in the sequel, the two sides would discuss it again. The innovative artist agency originally planned to discuss box office dividends for Robert, but after careful consideration, he chose to give up. Firstly, because Robert was not an actor who could get dividends even at his peak, and secondly, because the prospects for "Iron Man" were unknown. Instead of paying dividends, it would be better to get direct pay.

But now, Chaos Film signed six movies with Robert in one go for a pay of three million. The simple decision was full of decisive determination, and such a ruthless move made people breathe.

On the surface, Robert actually made a profit, because Robert's career is now dark, and it is very difficult to even star in a work. However, Chaos Film has signed six works in one go, which is undoubtedly a trust in Robert. Although the pay for each movie has declined, the decline is still within an acceptable range. Six movies are equivalent to a reward of 18 million, which is the first ray of dawn in ten years for Robert.

But in fact, Chaos Pictures made money. This is a typical large-scale film company's approach. They packed and signed a contract in one go. If "Iron Man" fails, they can freely decide whether to shoot the subsequent works, and even if the contract is broken, there is no problem. If "Iron Man" makes money, they can continue to shoot sequels at a low price to avoid the surge in the "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" pay.

However, only large film companies generally say this, because this is equivalent to spending 18 million to buy a successful one, as if they spend 18 million on a racecourse. Buying one of the horses can achieve a winning streak. Large film companies are rich and do not care; but small companies like Chaos Pictures do not have such a demeanor. Not to mention six sequels, small film companies cannot consider sequels before a work is confirmed to be successful.

"Lance is crazy?" Mark's voice couldn't help but rise, without any concealing the absurdity and ridicule in his eyes. "Is he just sure that 'Iron Man' will succeed? Could he just be sure that Chaos Pictures's 18 million will not be wasted?"

Terence raised his eyes and looked at Mark angrily, "Can he be sure?" A retort made Mark choke directly.
