Did you read the article about the composer of the Star Wars movie "The Last Jedi" ?
gpt
I did, I thought that it was so amazing that it was called the best movie score of all time. That's so fitting for one of the most popular sagas to ever exist!
human
I've never actually seen a Star Wars movie from start to finish, so I don't actually know much other than the most famous songs. I didn't realize how much money they made either.
gpt
I'm not surprised you knew some of the songs at least, for how long ago the films came out I hear children today even love the tunes like "The Imperial March". You need to watch the films! How much did they make?
human
Apparently 8.5 billion dollars, which is pretty wild. Still not the most money made from a film series though, only 2nd place
gpt
I can't believe that Fox thought the films would flop! It's too bad for them that they didn't keep the licensing and merchandising rights because of their doubts and lost out on billions of dollars.
human
I think that's pretty normal for Fox, didn't they do the same thing with Family Guy and probably many other series that people love?
gpt
Yes, you're probably right! Still I'd have a really tough time getting over the loss of around 65 billion dollars for the whole star wars franchise. 
human
*opens mouth slightly* I just can't believe they haven't gone under after making such bad decisions. Especially knowing these franchises are loved by basically everyone it seems. 
gpt
I know, but I think that's just how the entertainment industry seems to work. They are probably really rich.
human
Yes, defintely they are rich, at least the people who own Fox. Also the people in the movie too, since James Earl Jones earned $7500 for 2.5 hours worth of recordings
gpt
I was actually thinking that that didn't sound like much money for such a huge role. I know that even George Lucas was supposed to be paid 500k alone just as a "directing fee"
human
*raises eyebrows* I would love to work for $3000/hr. Seems like you wouldn't need to get too many jobs in order to have a liveable salary
gpt
Meanwhile, entertainers in the music industry seem to work very hard- like Linkin Park performing 324 concerts in 2001 alone.
human
That is a lot of concerts, wow. That's probably more working days than most people ever think about doing in a year
gpt
Yeah and other famous bands like the Ramones toured non stop for twenty years straight
human
I guess if you're doing what you love it really doesn't seem like work. Sometimes you don't even need an audience to play live, like Pink Floyd did in 1972
gpt
And not just without an audience but some musicians like the members of Creed will keep trying even after being sued by four unhappy concert goers. 
human
*pushes away* I can't even imagine a concert being so bad you get sued by the people there. It must have been very bad. That's got to be a sign that maybe you should find something else. 
gpt
*tilts head* Yeah, and you don't necessarily have to give up music either, the guitarist of Radiohead Johnny Greenwood ended up becoming a succesful indie classical composer.
