He does package deals for movies. So he'll do multiple smaller movies for every big one. I don't know the finer details of it.
A lot of these kind of came out of the wave of Chinese-produced RedBox movies and Straight to Prime that started years ago. Look at a movie you’ve never heard before but has EVERYBODY in it. More likely than not, the opening credits has a Chinese production company card. I have a feeling he’s taking a cue from Jackie Chan and stacking these movies so when he’s ready to retire, he’ll still be drawing royalties.
I'm not sure if it's still once a year or not. But actors need to keep doing movies as part of their SAG membership. They buy their health insurance and other services (retirement or pension options) through .
That's why many semi retired actors & actresses pop up in made for TV movies, especially for the holidays.
not sure i understand
On the "back end" actors can make more money off lower cost B rated movies or full on shitty movies then the big budget ones.
Because they can do a lot more of the smaller movies in a shorter period of time and then collect royalties as those movies are played on TV & various streaming/rental services.
They also need to do one movie a year to keep up their that they buy their insurance & other services through.
