This clue might be a double definition.

'a share of the profits' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'by movie director?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how one could define the other.

'called for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cut that I've seen before include "Slash" , "drunk" , "Stop filming" , "Divide; intersect" , "Hacked off" .)
