American Fortune Life

Carl is very understandable about Andy's arrangement. He is not a child. What kind of emotion is he being decentralized? Andy is grateful that he can kick him away without a kick when he is the most unlucky. , And also chose to stand by Andy's quiet period at that time, proud for a long time.

However, there is still a loss in my heart, not because of his own power shrinking, but for the growth rate of Andy. Now Andy is no longer the childish child a few months ago. Wisdom is still, but becomes When he matures, the city government becomes deeper without knowing it. He splits the power in his hands between laughter and scolding, and leaves himself unable to have emotions. After all, Andy let him enter the peak entertainment instead of himself. Board of Directors.

This is undoubtedly an enhancement of Carl's identity. Does Hollywood's power come from how much resources he has in his hands, or is that the word, opportunity is the gold here!

Looking at Andy, who put his feet on the desk, shook his legs, and lay lazily on the boss chair drinking coffee, Carl felt like a dream, the body in his mind was thin, his eye sockets were deep, his mood was depressed, and he cried to himself. The teenager has drifted away.

"Carl, what are you thinking?" Andy asked with a smile on his face and a smile on his face.

"Huh? No ... Nothing, just think of some things before, Andy, you are grown up and mature." Carl did not hide his emotions.

"Oh, you only discovered it when you were a fat man! Well, people always have to learn to grow up. This is a good thing. What do you say?" Andy said with a curse.

"Can you respect me a little bit! I'm the manager of the company. You die fat all day. It will affect my prestige! You freak little beanie!" Carl twitched a few times, but remembered just When he met Andy, he called himself a fat man, and he gave him the nickname, and then hit back.

The corner of Andy's mouth twitched, and Ao Jiao snorted hummingly. The stalk that Carl said, Andy couldn't find all the memories, and could only pretend to be angry and perfunctory.

When Carl saw Andy's angry expression, the atmosphere was a bit awkward, and he could only smirk and whisper, and turned away from the topic, and said with a grimace, "Some time ago, I cut off a 20th Century Fox project. You do n’t know Angrily, they almost frowned on the spot. "

Andy looked at the fat man who was getting angry, but was curious, "speak and listen."

"Hey, wasn't the money of your music record a part of the time ago, plus the copyright fees for the novels from Xuele, at that time the company had more than 8 million funds. I originally wanted to buy the rights of some old movies. However, after you serialized the novel in the "Observer" newspaper, Xuele Publishing House was a little worried that the cooperation between us and them would be interrupted, and ran here and again to connect feelings.

During a chat, I learned that a writer named Ray Clayton had written a series of teen fantasy novels in 1995, and was only recently successfully lobbied by Xuele Press, which is being arranged for publication. At first I did n’t care much until I heard When Fox was contacting the writer and wanted to buy the film rights of the novel, I asked Xuele people to take a printed book. After reading it, I decided to buy the film rights. Hey, Fox Just want to buy the copyright for 5 million, the main thing is that they do not agree with Ray Clayton to write the script himself.

At that time, Ray Clairton was in Los Angeles, and I immediately contacted him through Xuele, and bought it with 5.5 million plus the conditions for participating in the script writing. Hehe, when the Fox people knew, in front of Ray Clair Suddenly, he jumped and scolded me. It was really uncultivating. It was a shame! "

Andy listened to Carl's narration. He always felt a little familiar with this Ray Clayton, but couldn't think of more detailed information, and frowned slightly and asked, "What book?"

"Percy Jackson and the Thief of Fire" ... a series, but only three are currently available. "

Andy Shu raised his eyebrow and smiled slightly. It turned out to be this series, okay, it's not bad, it can make a fortune. After all, when the movie came out, the propaganda was also overwhelming. The first box office was pretty good. After the second, then, there is no more then, the special effects blockbuster.

"Oh, listen to the name, you know that the story of modern people and Greek mythology is intertwined. It won't be to write a journey of slaughter of children after the group of unruly Greek gods and mortals **** ... It is a film company. Favorite subject matter, commercial special effects, yes, you have the courage to die! "Andy pretended to comment.

"Great! You can guess the main line of the story just by listening to the name. Andy, you are awesome. It really is a genius!" Carl listened to Andy's analysis, his expression was very shocked, he really admired Andy's genius, he didn't read the book However, just listening to the name can analyze the main line of the story, this Nima is too great.

"This is not a daring thing, mainly because of your role model. I didn't understand the high-priced purchase of the copyright in" Twilight ", but who can think of a 50% increase immediately after turning around? Value, thinking about what you said, in the future Hollywood will be more and more sought after for some outstanding IPs. I naturally will not let this opportunity go. This is not the case. Twentieth Century Fox has contacted me. Hope to talk to me. What do you think?"

The corner of Andy's mouth is tilted upward, and his nose makes a slight humming sound, a mysterious smile, and said, "Oh, let's talk, there's nothing to say, we're not a movie company, we bought the copyright just for the sake of Just change hands, you can talk to them well, the transfer money does not need to be too high, 78 million can be, and then ... the first box office to share it, I think they should finally agree to the Fox family's great cause Anyway, movie copyright has 50 years, don't worry! "

"Oh, I know what to do! By the way, you are right here. I recently read this book and I feel that the story is okay. However, I inquired about the sales situation. Well, it's a street, you See, is there a need to buy it? "Karl YIN smiled wryly, but suddenly thought of something, while talking, stood up and walked to the desk, took out a book from his briefcase .

Andy took over the book handed over by Carl and looked at the **** cover with "Zombies World War". He couldn't help but look up at the dead fat man standing aside, and cursed with a smile: "You said this book hit the street? "

"Yes, is there any problem? Two weeks after the listing, the US has only bought 100,000 copies. Isn't it a hit?" Carl asked innocently.

"No ..." Andy looked at Carr with a look of surprise, confirming that he was not joking, and quickly turned to look, yes, it is the same as the original story. , The movie produced in collaboration with Paramount, the box office was a big hit, remember that it should be this best-selling book, how could it hit the streets.

"Are you sure this book has only sold 100,000 copies?" Andy tilted his head to look at Carl again, and asked with a frown.

"Okay, very sure. I'm more interested in stories about zombies, so I'm wondering after reading them. Such a good story should not be so miserable."

Andy closed the book, banged his fingers on the writing, and frowned, thinking, for whatever reason, this is an excellent novel. The copyright that Peter received in the past 10 years seemed to have spent nearly 10 million. And there are a lot of restrictions on the adaptation of the movie script. Looking at the author's name again, yes, it is Max Brooks.

As for why the sales volume is so bad, Andy really can't figure it out. Since there is no answer, he doesn't want to, stretch his eyebrows, take his feet off the table, sit upright, and seriously say to Carl, "Buy its copyright! As soon as possible, maybe this situation of fluttering the street is only short-lived. This is a good book. Now we can spend a lot less for it! "

"Okay! I've called the author's phone, and I'll contact him in a while. There should be no problem, but how much money is appropriate?" Carl saw that Andy valued the novel, and was still very excited. This is also a manifestation of his ability to work. He likes his current job very much, and his salary is high. He knows that all of this was given to him by Andy, but more because of the emotional bond between him and Andy, An Di chose to use him, and Carl hoped that because of his ability to work, Andy appreciated him and trusted him.

"Well ... 500,000 ..." Andy frowned slightly, froze for ten seconds, and finally said with a grin.

The corner of Carl's mouth was twitching, his head was black, he looked at Andy with a scornful look, and whispered, "You're worse than me ..."

Andy listened to Carl's sarcasm and embarrassedly concealed: "If you don't contact the author first, listen to what he is asking for, and buy it if appropriate, I hope he won't say anything about it. It's all over the street, and I should be glad that someone can buy the copyright of his movie, huh, huh ... "

Carr looked at Andy, who was talking to himself, with a look of disgust. He was better than himself, shaking his fat head lightly and unable to vomit.

"You ... What's your expression! Isn't it all for our company? If you can spend less, you should spend less!" Andy explained forcibly, and did not recognize his own business.

"Boss, people are selling this book again, and he is not a newcomer. He knows the market, 500,000? Oh, do you think it is possible?" Carl looked at Andy with a scornful look and teased.

"You are asking me what the price is! You fat man, don't look at me with that kind of look! Damn, okay, you must take down the copyright of this novel, but don't be too eager to make him a lion. Open wide ... "

Before Andy finished speaking, Carl looked at him squinting, and seemed to say, are you teaching me how to negotiate?

Andy rolled his eyes, put his feet back on the table, lay back on the boss chair, looked at the ceiling, and hummed in a huff.
