My next breakout star is a performer
349
00:16:03,508 --> 00:16:04,843
who already has broken through
350
00:16:04,926 --> 00:16:06,428
in one other entertainment arena,
351
00:16:06,511 --> 00:16:07,637
rock music.
352
00:16:07,721 --> 00:16:09,055
It's Jon Bon Jovi,
353
00:16:09,139 --> 00:16:10,599
who has been a bestselling performer
354
00:16:10,682 --> 00:16:11,933
since the mid 1980s,
355
00:16:12,017 --> 00:16:14,311
but now has emerged as a film actor.
356
00:16:14,394 --> 00:16:15,645
I think you chose a great color.

come back first thing

360
00:16:21,318 --> 00:16:23,778
Jon Bon Jovi provides both a fresh face
361
00:16:23,862 --> 00:16:25,906
and a fresh sensibility
in the movies today.

[♪ pensive music playing]
363
00:16:29,075 --> 00:16:30,827
[Jon] So my initial foray,
364
00:16:30,911 --> 00:16:33,663
truthfully was, "This is intriguing."
365
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,082
It's a way to continue in the arts,
366
00:16:36,166 --> 00:16:38,752
but I was so green that I went to the set
367
00:16:38,835 --> 00:16:40,378
and take one, take two, take three,
368
00:16:40,462 --> 00:16:41,838
and I went over to the director,
369
00:16:41,922 --> 00:16:44,508
and I said, "I'm sorry
that it's taken three takes.
370
00:16:44,591 --> 00:16:47,135
Uh, I'll be happy to pay for the film."
371
00:16:47,219 --> 00:16:48,553
And he looked at me like I was crazy.
372
00:16:48,637 --> 00:16:50,722
And he said, "It's how you make movies,
373
00:16:50,805 --> 00:16:52,349
you know, you do more than one take."
374

"You're in a rock band, go do that."
395
00:17:47,279 --> 00:17:50,115
And something was said to the effect of,
396
00:17:50,198 --> 00:17:52,158
you know, "If you want
to go do it, you should go do it."
397
00:17:52,242 --> 00:17:53,743
I said, "Okay, I will."

[Desmond Child] When you have
a manager that's that strong,
421

you're always a child,
422
00:19:05,899 --> 00:19:08,151
because you leave it up to,
"Oh, talk to my manager."
423

"Oh, he can make the decision," or she,

you lose control of your life.

been able to rectify that.

At the Argentinean?

439

with Paul Korzilius running it
on a day-to-day basis
440

and didn't need a manager.

{\an8}But one of the main tenets
of Bon Jovi management
442
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,580
{\an8}was that this is not about the commission.
443
00:20:01,663 --> 00:20:04,457
It's not about getting as much money
out of this as possible.
444

It's about protecting us as people first.
445

[Jon] Paul Korzilius is the glue.

He's a walking encyclopedia
of everything Bon Jovi.

449
00:20:19,723 --> 00:20:21,266
"We made it to the dance."
450
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:23,560
We were A and R people in ourselves.
451
00:20:23,810 --> 00:20:26,438
And Jon was a, a good businessman.

Also, it was a big percentage

of money we didn't have to pay out,
