American Fortune Life

Andy drank coffee as if he was an old god, and he didn't seem to care about the strange eyes of the three people looking at him. He was very clear about the active position he occupied, no matter which film company came to the door, he could only listen to his conditions .

The success of "Harry Potter" has made many film companies very jealous. The era of fan economy has arrived, and the huge consumption power of fans has made many people full of interest in some potential IPs.

To be honest, Andy just doesn’t have enough dollars right now, otherwise, he can sleep peacefully on the banknotes as long as he swallows the Marvel Company in one gulp. Unfortunately, he can’t afford that much money now, although he can in the future It is very feasible to pass some of the money through the bank to guarantee the merger and acquisition, but Disney has been eyeing Marvel for a long time, and it will never give Andy a chance. Another point is the old and immortal Stan Lee, this old guy is famous Difficult.

Oops, it's a bit far, so since the "Lord of the Rings" series, the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, and "Spiderman", the success of "Batman", and especially the popularity of "Harry Potter" around the world, in Almost all the Hollywood industry has reached a consensus that the future will belong to series movies, and original movies will be overwhelmed by big IPs.

Don't think that Hollywood didn't understand the impact of serial movies on original movies in the previous life. They all know it very well. It's just that the Big Six are all backed by big consortiums and people from Wall Street have injected capital. Big production and big investment are the result of the influx of hot money. As long as they can make money , capitalists don't care about art.

Hollywood is a big factory. It will produce whatever the market needs and likes. In his previous life, Andy watched Hollywood movies, and he always saw that most of the Asians were casted by footbaths. It was rare to see Chinese. I will choose some villains or small supporting roles, which hurts my self-esteem.

The reason why the foot basin people are mixed in Hollywood is of course a part of the credit of Sony Columbia. After the foot basin people control, although the American people are running the business, but the big boss is the foot basin people. Naturally, there is a part of cultural output. See Watching Hollywood movies, all the pirated Tang knives held by Nima in both hands, you can understand the sliced ​​knives in the mouth of the foot basin.

Of course, one of the most important reasons is that the country has always been the back garden of Hollywood. It is the second largest ticket warehouse outside of North America, so it will naturally be more biased towards actors and plots.

This is why after China became the second largest ticket warehouse in the world,

The reason why Hollywood film companies and stars kneel and lick all kinds of tricks is to put it bluntly, this is the choice of the market!

The two best-selling novels in Andy's hands are so popular that they will naturally be sought after by film companies. The rate is getting bigger and bigger, and their adaptation rights will become more and more valuable.

If you want to understand this, how can Andy, a black-bellied, patient and paranoid person with otaku attributes, be in a hurry.

Rob Freeman, as an industry insider who has worked in Hollywood from a low-level employee to the CEO of Paramount, will he not understand the importance of a good IP? Don't be kidding, even the two followers around him didn't understand.

It’s just that they’re used to fooling those writers, or they’re used to the practice of spending several million dollars to get the film and television adaptation rights, sometimes even only a few hundred thousand dollars, and those writers will happily sign the contract, I hope it can be made into a movie, which will drive me to buy more physical books.

It's a pity that they met Andy who knew the value of the copyright of the novel in his hand, so it was impossible to sell it cheaply, just like J.K Rowling later regretted selling the copyright of "Harry Potter", and finally the film company compromised and gave her a share After writing "Fantastic Creatures", she didn't sell it any more. Instead, she chose to invest in the production of the film through copyright ownership.

Therefore, none of the successful people in this world is a fool. If you meet such a person, then the other party definitely wants to treat you like a fool!

Andy's office fell into an eerie silence. No one on both sides spoke. To put it bluntly, everyone didn't know how to open their mouths, because the conditions of both parties were too different from what they thought in their hearts.

Andy smiled and put down the coffee cup in his hand, looked at the time on the watch, coughed lightly, broke the silence that lasted for a few minutes, and said: "It's already noon before you know it, so you are guests from afar , at noon, I invite everyone to taste the delicious food in New York, how about putting aside work matters first?"

Rob Freeman is not polite. Well, the American people don't know what politeness is. If you invite him, he will really agree. He won't understand that you are just being polite.

Andy is not being polite, but sincere. He wants to have a good chat with Rob Freeman. As a professional manager with several bosses, it is definitely a very painful thing, especially if there are The two bosses are completely laymen, and what they want is to make a profit. Andy thinks that he can persuade Rob to be optimistic about his entry into Summit Entertainment. If he can say something good at the critical moment, then Andy will take the lead. A crucial step in the nest's plan was completed.

As for whether he can convince Rob, Andy can only be hehe, Rob is just a professional manager with that salary, and if the board of directors joins a shareholder who supports him, do you think he will be happy.

As for whether Rob has betrayed the company's interests, that's even more non-existent. The film and television adaptation rights of two best-selling novels are not a small sum when converted into US dollars. The registered capital of Summit Entertainment is only 100 million U.S. dollars. This shareholding, of course, requires the approval of the three shareholders who are not short of money.

Everyone had a pleasant lunch at noon, and the atmosphere was relatively good. Everyone talked about irrelevant off-topic topics. The people brought by Rob also talked about some Hollywood star gossip. It was very interesting. Andy It was also the first time I heard about it, especially about Pete and Julie, which made Andy even more disgusted with this star couple who had always been hostile to China.

Only then did Andy know that "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" was produced and released by Summit. After the script came out, Pete was first selected as the leading actor, and then Pete made a list of actresses he wanted to partner with. Nicole was originally selected at the beginning. Kidman and Nicole also agreed, but later they did not participate in the show for unknown reasons. Pete also refused to continue participating in the show after knowing about it. Participated in the performance, and immediately signed the contract in a hurry, and then sparks were sparked, misfires, cheating, scandals, divorce, and the big drama of being together was staged.
