BTW - That guy is a career VA. He isn't an actor like Andy. No matter what Andy would get paid more. He may have revernce in the industry but out of it he is a no name. Millions upon millions know "my precious"
|
And nobody actually knows that's Andy Serkis. Nor are they going to know the guy from HS is the same guy who was Gollum. Your being ridiculious.
|
The people who hired him know. And its in the videos in the game. So whoever plays 1 video after unlocking it would know too. You're the one being ridiculous. You want an example of 1 movie launching someones career? Tom Cruise - Top Gun. He was a nobody but that movie made 350 million and after that he started getting paid millions per role. AND TOP GUN WASNT AS BIG AS LOTR
|
Your compairing him to Tom Cruise now.
Ok. Lets look at his IMDB.
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0785227/
I'm not really seeing any big movies that would indicate he's making millions or this launched his career... in fact, all his work seems to pretty much be just Lord of the Rings related.
Hm... lets look at Tom Crusie.
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000129/
Well, right after Top Gun I see a number of huge breakout movies such as Cocktail and Born on the Fourth of July.
|
The point is if you want smeagol youre going to pay a premium. Youre deluding yourself if you think actors dont get over paid.
|
Actors get overpaid. Andy doesn't.
Is it seriously your contention that the reason Andy hasn't seen any career boost for LOTR is because he's holding out for higher money?
He's playing Albert Einstein in a freaking made for TV movie. How much do you think he got paid for that?
|
LOL is it above your understanding that the guy started work on the game right after the huge hit lotr? You are putting serious words in my mouth. But this guy was the writer. Voice actor. Actor. and Director. HE DID A LOT OF WORK! Your telling me a top name guy can get almost a million dollars for talking into a mic for 1 hour of his time and And cant get a couple million from months of his time while doing 4 different jobs directly after he played a role in 3 ginormous movies? get real dude
|
I don't know if you know how the Entertainment industry works... but yes. The top name guys make TONS more then the little guys do.
Directors and Writers don't make that much in the videogame industry... while actor and voice actor is the same job.
|
In this case it's not the same job. Unlike the guy who got paid 750k to just speak for an hour Andy had to speak for a lot longer than that then he had to go to the mocap process and act out all the scenes. The guy was a big name back in '04 when he started working on HS right after the hugely successful LOTR Trilogy.
|
No he wasn't a big name... and he's not... and yes it would be seen as the same job.
Motion capture people aren't paid that much anyway.
Do you think the Mortal Kombat guys are getting paid big money? Your putting together something he would be lucky to get 500K for, and adding in a bunch of jobs that pay probably a total of 100K if lucky, and turning that into a million... even though consoldiating jobs with 1 person should be cheaper and not more expensive.
|
You know how popular "My precious" is? Obviously not or else you wouldn't be saying that. The guy was a cult hit in a mainstream movie. Motion Capture people aren't normally Gollum from LOTR. 500k for a job when you yourself provided links showing 1 hour of VA work from actors gets paid that much? Please... Your silly. In no way do I think Andy make millions like Tom Cruise but at the same time if you want to hire Smeagol from LOTR you are going to pay a premium. Especially if there was terrible management like suggested. It'd be overpaid.
