After discussing the filming method with Spielberg, Xia Tian politely sent the big director out of the company.

They did not talk about pay, dividends, etc., because it was not up to them. Spielberg has an agency, and Columbia Pictures also has a project department. The specific matters are left to them, so there is no need for the big guys to fight in person.

To be honest, it is really good to leave this kind of thing to a third party. Even if the price cannot be negotiated, it will not hurt each other's harmony.

Spielberg was very smart. He saw the box office potential of "Jurassic Park" and believed that it was likely to cause a global sensation, so he took the initiative to cut his cash pay and seek a higher box office dividend ratio.

His previous film pay for directing a movie was usually around three to four million dollars. This price is already the highest in Hollywood. He has now cut his cash pay in half, in exchange for 5% of the global box office dividend of "Jurassic Park". In this way, once the movie is sold, he will gain tens of millions of benefits.

But he is smart and summer is not stupid. He knows how horrible the money-making movie "Jurassic Park" is. Its box office worldwide exceeds one billion dollars, and before "Titanic", it was the highest-grossing movie in the world.

Spielberg wants 5% of the box office dividend, which is 50 million US dollars. Giving up two million, earning 50 million, and profits have increased by 25 times. It is said that summer is a business genius, and investing a point will take back a corner. Spielberg, the worry-hearted man, is not inferior.

But Xia Tian naturally won't let him succeed easily. He would rather pay Spielberg $5 million in cash than give him any box office dividends.

Spielberg wanted to do so, but the summer refused to give it. Finally, after several negotiations, both sides took a step back. Spielberg's salary was set at 2 million US dollars in cash, plus one percent of the global box office dividend.

...

The reason why summer retreats is because the movie "Jurassic Park" is really inseparable from Spielberg. Because he is one of the most successful commercial directors in the world, he can perfectly balance the entertainment and artistic nature of a movie. Few people in the world can do this ability.

For example, Zhang Yimou made art films such as "Red Sorghum", "Jupu Dou", "Living", "Autumn Ju Fighting", and "No One Can Leave". But he was able to make a fuss when filming commercial films, "Hero", "The Ambush on Ten", "The City of Golden Armor", and "Three Guns Shooting Surprise", which are really worse than the other.

For example, Wang Jing, who made commercial films such as "The God of Cauldron", "The Deer and the Cauldron", "The Best Bad Friend", and "The Trick Expert", no one in Hong Kong knows more about entertainment than him. But he is not suitable for making art films. The only one he made was the art film "Stupid Kid", which was very sensational, and tried his best to exaggerate the tragic color, trying to move the audience, but the audience did not buy it. In terms of reputation and box office, it was far inferior to "Why Have Me" more than ten years ago.

"Jurassic Park" is an entertaining movie, monsters, adventures, conspiracies, adventures... In short, there are all elements that commercial movies should have.
