Chapter 90
Behind The Spotlight Chapter 90
As for Axel Gunner, Collin was happy that his tall client landed a role without hardship, unlike the last time, when they had to audition for every movie. Just like Lawrence, Axel's two successful films had built up a strong resume that gave him credibility and serious momentum in the eyes of casting directors. Now, production studios had no problem casting him.
The fact that Week on a Cruise Ship grossed over $316 million worldwide spoke for itself. A whopping $205 million of that total came from the North American box office.
With that success, Axel was now recognized as one of the rising actors of the mid-90s, just like Lawrence, who had recently become a superstar.
Axel landed a supporting role in an action movie about an FBI agent who swapped faces with a terrorist. He played both the antagonist and the protagonist in that film. The title was Face: Swap.
He was set to join filming next month, once his promotional duties for Week on a Cruise Ship ended. Currently, Axel was in Thailand to promote the movie as part of an international press tour organized by the studio.
Collin had negotiated Axel's salary and convinced the producer to offer him $1.8 million after several days of intense discussion and bargaining.
That amount was a significant upgrade compared to Axel's previous film, for which he was only paid $250,000.
Collin was smiling from ear to ear over the deal, as he earned a $90,000 commission from the $1.8 million salary, definitely a major win in his books. He even planned to take his family on a vacation to Bora Bora this year, now that their financial situation was improving.
