Cameron Diaz....one week's work to do Shrek 2, got paid this much...... - GoFuckYourself.com

Bansheelinks · 05-23-2004, 11:26 AM

It took her one week to do her voicework for Shrek 2, and she made $10 Million. Mike Myers made $20 Million and took two weeks.

We're in the wrong profession ppl.

Corleone · 05-23-2004, 11:27 AM

wow amazing..

merlin77 · 05-23-2004, 11:29 AM

A fractured fairy tale broke records as it mended a heretofore soft summer.

The widest release ever yielded the biggest single day gross ever, the highest bow ever for an animated movie (topping Finding Nemo's $70.3 million), the second best weekend ever (behind only Spider-Man's $114.8 million) and the first uber-opening of the summer.

JamesK · 05-23-2004, 11:31 AM

excatly, ...then facor in the merchandising,overseas rights,dvd/video sales.....they know what the pay out is peanuts, just like ballplayers yeah they getting some change, but compared to the owners, they getting peanuts

edit-i would have asked for points instead of the sla;ry, points on the gross not net :drinker:

Strife · 05-23-2004, 11:35 AM

still..........do you watch "The Simpsons" because you know who the voices are? they aren't even stars really...........if I was the head of the studio, I'd dump the money I'd save on paying these bloated stars and put it back into superior production. Some hack nobody even knows could have done just as good as job as Cameron Diaz for her character. She could even be ugly as we never even see her but have a killer voice.

Nah it's not wrong. Their voices made the characters come to life which in turn helped make the movie as great as it is, which in turn helped make it all the money it did. People pay money to see, or in this case hear, stars.

I love when people say the same type of thing about sports stars. Saying that they shouldn't get paid as much as they do. Why? They are the ones that fill the stadiums. The people come to see them play and their team win because they are playing. They earn it. I love it. But then again I love capitalism!!!

Doctor Dre · 05-23-2004, 11:47 AM

I think Eddie Murphy did some voices too right ?

Creative · 05-23-2004, 11:47 AM

seems like uhh... they wasted a lot of money and could have paid better sounding people millions less

Nop but you got really no idea how much the staff is getting paid ...

The translator for french english is getting millions a year ... they are all very well paid.

KRL · 05-23-2004, 11:51 AM

Recognizeable voiceover artists are expensive as hell. I hired Shadoe Stevens to do a a qucik 30 second commercial for a 900 prog I was going to be running on MTV.

This was the first time I decided to spring for a real pro voice guy on a commercial and I was thinking OK this guy will probably hit us for something crazy like $100 a second for 30 seconds, $3,000 or so, because I knew he'd get it nailed in 1 or 2 takes (which he did indeed end up doing).

So, when I asked him how much the bill was going to be for his services, he goes $25,000. Of course I instantly said, "Say what? I don't think I heard that right."

He didn't realize that our company was paying the bill and thought MTV was so he figured no one would bitch. After I enlightened him to the normal voice over fees of the 900 biz I chiseled him down to $2,500. Took him 5 minutes so it ended up being $500 a minute which works out to an hourly rate of $30,000, which is still outrageous. But it was worth every penny in the long run.

I love capitalism too, Loryn, and if the studios want to pay them that much money for just their voices for ONE WEEK, I say all the power to them and not say no. But once again, do you watch "The Simpsons" because of the 'stars' behind the characters voices? My point is, they aren't even stars.....they are basically or were nobodies, and yet the show is the most successfull animated tv show ever.......and consistenly so year after year.

Whether its Mike Myers or someone unknown doing the voice of Shrek, wouldn't matter to me. I love capitalism so much I'd save on the cost of paying ridiculous salaries to these stars and hire some unknown acting hacks, that would be just as talented and the audience would never see, and make them hole up in the studio and absolutely nail their parts. The difference I'd put into serious production values. You'd end up with a superior product with less cost, and I think just as much appeal as before to audiences. For instance, I told some ppl I know that loved "Finding Nemo" that Albert Brooks had the lead voice. Their answer? Who the fuck is Albert Brooks? And "Nemo" made the most money ever for a cartoon and most ppl that see it don't even really know who Brooks is.

Yeah maybe. But a lot of people say "Oh, Cameron Diaz and Mike Meyer's are going to be the voices. That should be a good movie." I don't say that, I am not a star struck person. I like talent I don't care who it is. But there are lots and lots of people who do. If there weren't people out there thinking that way then I don't think they would be paying all those Hollywood "anchors" the money they do, or they would be trying to treat them like royalty.

*They call stars like that "anchors" of a movie because they draw attention to the movie. Media etc...

How about this, put Briana Banks or Jenna Jameson in one of your sites and have her go out and talk about it to the press. Now tell me how many more eyes will be on your product? How much money do you think you would make? Don't you think you would have to pay her more than you would a girl you just found, that could be equally as hot, but isn't known?

Plus they already have a customer base. So by using them you get the people that follow their careers. And believe it or not people do follow Hollywood stars careers.

I see your pt. Loryn, but to me and I hear this from many others, its different when its just audio. Briana and Jenna are visually gorgeous and ppl relate to what they do visually. Again, we can use Finding Nemo as an example...........most ppl I've talked to don't know the voices behind the fish............Albert Brooks, Ellen Degeneres, Willem Dafoe, etc............they really don't know who the voices are when they see the movie, and more importantly, GOING INTO THE MOVIE. They only hear its a great movie and great fun.

I totally buy into what you say about star power, Loryn.......there is no doubt about that.........but I think there is a key difference when it comes to just audio and hearing them. I think the "star power" concept for animation is way way overrated and overpaid.

After all, do you know who did the voice of "Ariel" for "The Little Mermaid"? Or who did the voice of "Bambi"? Those were pretty successfull.

Brad Pitt made 1 million bucks for an hour of watch commercial in japan , Jennifer Anniston makes a million for each episode of friends .. Posh Spice's hubby *forgot his name* made 150MILLION for adidas commercial

You can't hire unknown talent to do the voices, because you need actors to promote the film. Unknow talent will not get invited to talk shows to be able to promote the film

Strife · 05-23-2004, 12:25 PM

I'm sure that the studio head know what they were doing when they decide to pay for big name actors tp do the voices.

maxdaname · 05-23-2004, 01:14 PM

Eddie Also made $10 Millions$!
But they needed funny+entertaining actors to play Shrek and Donkey.
Diaz is not worth $10M$ though, she's easy to replace for that role, they could even find someone who has the same voice, it wouldn't make any difference.

They probably could have done way better IMO. Cameron Diaz was the reason I hated the first movie. Her and her character were so annoying. Eddie Murphy annoyed me too.. but I couldn't really see the movie without the annoying donkey .. I could definitely see a far less annoying princess.. leaving a much better movie.

They could pay 50k a year and people would still be fighting each other to play baseball for a living and the stars would still get rich off endorsements.

SykkBoy · 05-23-2004, 02:51 PM

An important thing to note that without Myers, Diaz and Murphy returning, it would have been harder to get the greenlight for the movie. If they were unable to land those voice talents and just went with some third rate voice talent, it could have been a straight to video release.
