Chapter 311 Chris Evans

Danny Camacho looked at the Asian man in front of him with curiosity, namely Li Zhen.

Of course he knew who the other party was, the person in charge of the Chinese company called "Dimension Entertainment" in North America. However, he didn't quite understand why such a Chinese company wanted to invite Chris to be one of the two protagonists?

Have you fallen in love with Chris and accumulated popularity around the world by playing "Captain America"?

But... aren't they worried that such a series of films, superhero movies adapted, and the actors who are praised will have a fixed image problem?

This is exactly what many superhero movie actors face.

Not only Chris Evans, but also Chris Hemsworth, who plays Thor, is also in the same situation.

The two of them have said more than once to the public and in front of the media that they don’t want to continue acting.

What ‘I won’t continue to play Captain America’, what ‘I’m tired of the role of Thor’…

More than once.

This is actually very normal. From the perspective of the actor himself, if he has higher pursuits, he will not be willing to play a role for the rest of his life.

This pursuit refers to art and business.

No real superstar can be done with just one role. The best of them are like "Captain" Johnson Depp and "Iron Man" Robert Downey Jr., seem to be extremely popular, and in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series and the Marvel series, the pay for playing corresponding characters is terrible, but once they leave their own famous series, their influence suddenly decreases.

This is the hidden danger.

Therefore, "Captain America" ​​and "Thor" think about how to get rid of their inherent image.

But how easy is this? It's not that easy to change into other movies. They started from these two roles, and even their own image has been bound to the corresponding superheroes.

If you ask them for other movies, you will have a huge worry. For example, Chris Evans, when you see him, will he unconsciously treat him as "Captain America" ​​and feel out of the way?

This will cause great harm to the movie itself.

This may not be that important. What is more worrying is that he has only shown business skills in the role of "Captain America". No one knows whether Chris Evans can still have strong enough commercial appeal after leaving the role of "Captain America". Without commercial appeal, why should I use you as a famous actor?

For actors, the problem also exists.

In series of movies, if the fixed role continues to be played, at least the situation will not get worse, the pay will only rise and fall, and fame will continue to be maintained. But once another series of movies are successful, everyone will be happy; if it fails, it will be an extremely heavy blow to the actors, which will further deepen the outside world's impression: he can only play Captain America.

When actors and film crews are very cautious, it is rare for actors like Chris Evans to play other commercial blockbusters.

But none of these could affect Camacho's efforts to gain more benefits for his employer. He is a professional agent, and this is his job.

What's more, after careful discussion, Camacho, as Chris's agent, believes that it should not be a big problem to go to China to act in a movie. If you succeed, you can get back Hollywood publicity, saying that Chris Evans's influence is not just as simple as Captain America, and you can succeed even if you go to act in a Chinese movie; if you fail, it is just a Chinese movie, it is not Chris Evans's failure, it is not Chris Evans's failure, it is not Chris Evans's failure, it is not Chris Evans's failure.

It is precisely because of this idea that they decided to try to get in touch with this Chinese team carefully.

"We can accept going to China to make a movie, but the premise is that the pay is enough to satisfy. After our internal discussion, we believe that the 20 million US dollar pay is a price that can reflect his value for Chris."

"We are very sincere, but I also hope you can keep it sincere." Li Zhen sneered and shook his head, saying, "Twenty million dollars? Mr. Camacho, your offer makes me feel no sincerity. There are not many members of the Hollywood 20 million club, and they must not include Chris Evans. I can even use this price as a stepping stone for Tom Cruise."

Before Camacho could speak, Li Zhen continued: "If you insist on such a quotation, I think we don't need to continue to talk."

After saying that, he was about to leave. However, Camacho finally stopped him.

Camacho was indeed a bit of a lion before. It was a normal business practice to ask for prices all over the place, but he didn't really want to scare the other party directly through this. If he had no sincerity to cooperate, he would not have to take time to meet this Chinese.

"I understand that you don't agree to the 20 million US dollar offer, but I think Chris' price will not be very low. I want to hear your offer and finally see if there is any meaning to continue further communication between us."

"Seven and five million dollars, this is our offer. As far as I know, this price has exceeded Chris's pay for playing Captain America."

"It's true." Camacho didn't plan to lie about this matter, "But I have to emphasize that Chris went to China to shoot a movie, and the risk was huge. The Chinese film industry, IMHO, is not mature enough, and we are very worried about the quality of the film, which may affect Chris' future career development."

As he said this, his face turned red and his heart was not beating: "So, we asked for more extra pay to offset the risk. Moreover, for the same company, it was your company that invited Henry Cavill to play a role, and it paid ten million dollars. I don't think Chris's pay should be lower than Henry."

"This is not comparable," said Li Zhen. "In addition to Superman, Henry Cavill also has other influential film and television works, which cannot be equated with. Eight million US dollars, this is our final offer."

The two of them verbally fought for a long time, and Li Zhen bit the price of 8 million US dollars to death, and refused to be higher.

Moreover, in addition to the outdoors, he also required to sign at least three main characters' contracts, and was obliged to cooperate with the shooting of other non-main characters in this series, and the salary increase of each movie shall not exceed 10%.

At the end, Camacho said, "I need to go back and think about it and I'm going to give you a reply."
