I’m hopelessly drawn to Jennifer Lawrence threads.
What, she doesn’t have an agent to help negotiate her contracts like every other Hollywood star? I think I’ve discovered the problem.
I remember reading an article that said that women have a tendency to low-ball themselves when it comes to salary negotiations. Not sure if it’s true or not, but interesting, to me anyway.
We are All Victims Now!
Close-up looks like crazy eyes.
Negotiating the best deal is her agent’s job. Her job is to show up, memorize the lines, hit her marks, avoid the furniture, and convincingly emote.
I have little pity for someone worth $60 million. Go cry to someone else. These people amaze me with their “I am as common as all of you” dribble.
So the question is...how many people go to see a movie to see Jennifer Lawrence. They have to have individual "price lists".
Or as they say in the business....Next...(I made that up)
Hey, we’re up to almost 10 replies and nobody from the idiot brigade has come in yet to announce, “Never Heard Of Her”.
Me too!
She does have some valid points. When Josh Hutchinson gets double what she gets and he is hardly a name brand actor before Hunger Games and she received an academy award. Yep I see her point. However, it is her fault for settling for less money. I guess she thought she was getting a nice paycheck until she heard the rest of the group.
She’s not alone. I’m a man, and I’ve done the same to myself (I’m not in Hollywood though!) more than once.
Hollywood production studios negotiate with actors and actresses every single day. Some like Lawrence only does it once every few years, if even that. Therefore - who has more experience? Who has more knowledge?
It may be a womanly trait - but more likely, its a HUMAN trait.
Yes, indeed! :-)
I know what you mean. Awesomely beautiful, and a great actress. Too bad she drinks the kool-aid.
I volunteer.
Never heard of her. That’s not my fault.
Doesn’t she have an agent? That’s what agents are for.
She is well worth anything a guy gets in a role. If she doesn’t get it, its her own damned fault.
Hollywood tries to screw everyone, not just women.
She got a compromised Oscar, IMO, kind of like Obama’s Nobel. Honored out of season for decent performance. She is nice to look at and seems like a fun gal, but whining about pay with an Oscar and a blockbuster franchise?
