So even at the minimum rate of a grand a day...no way that was only 4k for Hale because even Hale's lowest rate is more than that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
54212 432 Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Obviously Hale didn't take the job for $4K so something's up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TLHBO 2,170 Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Maybe thats the point. They wanted a new VA. So they tell her she can have 4G, she can take the peanuts they're offering her or turn down the job, its win/win for Cheaptendo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ike★ 2,922 Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 @Remij Looks she was given a raise but she was asking for 6 figs and residuals. Who’s the real greedy one? Imagine turning down $15k for at most 5 days worth of work? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Goukosan 2,283 Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Turns out it was 4K per session for 5 sessions... A session is 4 hrs of work. So that was 1K per hr she was offered. Which is far and beyond what the union rate is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

She declined the offer they gave her.... of just.... $4000USD flat rate one time payment for VA for the entire game.... Fucking absolutely pathetic that they'd do her like that after all she's done and contributed to this series. And they went with fucking Jennifer Hale instead... JFC I'm with her. Boycott this came.. and instead emulate it on PC where it will be better anyway This dumbass ended up being on the wrong side of the argument.....................again. All because he hates Nintendo and he hates that they saved Bayonetta. Its more than obvious that this doesn't have to do with money, but rather Platinum Games clearly didn't want her back, but they didn't want to outright fire her, so they gave her a standard pay, and she responded like a diva. Nintendo and Platinum then went to go spend TOP TIER money to get the best, and most in-demand female voice actress in the business. Jennifer Hale's response makes it clear that she has professionalism, and the other lady clearly doesn't. Turns out that this lady is a petty bitch. No wonder Remij aligns himself with her.

Goukosan 2,283 Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Jennifer Hale's take from yesterday. Her post from earlier today about only hearing one side of the story And she retweeted the full story that broke today... Which pretty much confirms Jason's reporting as true.

Not even 5 full days...its only a 4 hr day.... 15k to 20k for 20 hrs of work 😐 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jehurey 3,299 Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 She asked for a SIX FIGURE FEE...........AND RESIDUALS on top of that? She's an idiot. I saw that she only has like 24 voice acting credits for her entire career, and hasn't had work since 2014. She played this about as horrible as one could play it.

jehurey 3,299 Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Looks like Kamiya did tell the other side of the story, but to delete this tweet Which would perfectly fall in line with what Jason Schrier and Bloomberg are posting that it was about $3-$4k per session, which is well above union standard rate. She got caught lying. The bigger red-flag is she hasn't had any voicework since 2014. There's gotta be a big reason for that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There's nothing wrong with what I said based on what I knew at the time fuckhead Oh jee... you're just repeating what I already said in this thread LOL.. On 2022-10-15 at 5:24 PM, Remij said: It honestly sounds like they, or someone in charge at Platinum Games didn't want to work with her again, and so they offered her an insultingly low offer just to ensure she wouldn't take it. I really sincerely doubt Jennifer Hale would accept that role for $4000... unless there's an embarrassingly low amount of dialogue from her in the game. And in that case, it could be that Hellena Taylor might have had an issue with the fact that there was too little dialogue in the game for her to bother, and is just using the money offered as an excuse to shit on PG. That's a possibility too. And sweetie... I buy, and play more, Nintendo games than you do... we already know that's a fact Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Can you imagine expecting 6 figures for a fucking Bayonetta game voice over That's far and away from the $4000 she made it seem like she was only offered. What they actually did offer her, assuming that's true... was more than fair. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Getting paid that amount for like 5 days of work is such easy money it's basically free. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You only planted yourself in that position, so strongly, because you have a pathetic bitterness against Nintendo having Bayo as an exclusive. So you are trying to promote the idea that Nintendo ended up doing something to "ruin" the Bayo brand. And you tried to pretend that the voice of Bayonetta was so incredibly crucial to the franchise. It isn't She isn't. Bayonetta's voice sounds like a lame stereotype. Nobody here is saying that they are Bayo fans because they love the Bayo character. Unless they're pathetic losers jerking off to polygonal models. Hideki Kamiya and Platinum was trying to give an out-of-work actress some work. Nintendo even greenlighted a higher pay raise. Nintendo and Platinum Games were the good guys. She was greedy, and you tried to oversell her voice like a pathetic dumbass. What's new? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
