What are examples of surprisingly low salaries paid to actors in hit movies?

请举例说明卖座电影中演员的片酬低得惊人的例子。

Jonah Hill was so desperate to work with Martin Scorsese that he took the SAG minimum salary to be in The Wolf of Wall Street·

乔纳·希尔是如此不顾一切地想要和马丁·斯科塞斯合作,以至于他为了出演《华尔街之狼》接受了SAG最低工资。

Scorsese thought he was taking a risk by casting a comedic actor in such a large role. Hill’s only notable dramatic performance prior to The Wolf of Wall Street was Moneyball, where he starred alongside Brad Pitt·

斯科塞斯认为让喜剧演员出演如此重要的角色是在冒险。在《华尔街之狼》之前,希尔唯一引人注目的戏剧表演是与布拉德·皮特合演的《点球成金》。

Knowing this, Hill jumped on the opportunity to work with Scorcese for the minimum salary immediately.

知道了这一点,希尔立即抓住了与斯科塞斯合作的机会,以最低的薪水。

“I said, ‘I will sign the paper tonight· Fax me the papers tonight·’ I want to sign them tonight before they change their mind. I said I want to sign them before I go to sleep tonight so they legally can’t change their mind.”[1]

“我说,‘今晚我要签署这份文件。今晚把文件传真给我。“我想在他们改变主意之前今晚就签了。”我说过我想在今晚睡觉前签署,这样法律上他们就不能改变主意了。

He got paid $60,000. In contrast, reports say that Leonardo DiCaprio was paid somewhere around $25 million upfront.[2] Margot Robbie earned significantly less at an estimated $667,000 but still more than Hill, who was billed second for the movie.

他得到了6万美元的报酬。相比之下,有报道称莱昂纳多·迪卡普里奥的预付收入约为2500万美元。玛格特·罗比的片酬要低得多,约为66.7万美元,但仍高于希尔,后者在影片宣传中排名第二。

To put those salaries into perspective, the film’s budget was $100 million and made a gross revenue of $392 million.[3]

为了对比这些薪水,这部电影的预算是1亿美元,而总收入是3.92亿美元

I have a feeling it was worth it for Hill to take that pay cut. After all, he was given an Oscar nomination for his role shortly afterwards.

我觉得希尔接受减薪是值得的。毕竟,很快他就因为这个角色获得了奥斯卡提名。

As Hill put it,

正如希尔所说,

“I would sell my house and give him all my money to work for (Scorsese). I would have done anything in the world. I would do it again in a second.”

“我会卖掉我的房子,把我所有的钱给他工作(斯科塞斯)。我愿意做任何事。我会马上再来一次。”
