Legendary Hollywood Producer

Burbank at night changed into another look, no longer the bustling and bustling of the day, the surrounding streets have become deserted, and the passing vehicles are in a hurry. The locals in Burbank know that the security at night is not very good. Of course, there are not many places where security is good at night in the United States. Everyone is used to it. As soon as the sun sets, try not to go out, even if you want to go out. , You have to drive or have several people together, try not to be alone.

In the office on the third floor of Manhai Entertainment, Roman sits alone in the chair.

The employees in the company are almost gone, except for Roman, there are only the uncle who looks after the storage room downstairs and the security guard on duty in the building at night.

Originally, Roman also wanted to go home early, but when he just read the script, he found a somewhat familiar story.

After reading the script several times carefully, Roman finally confirmed his impression-"The Devil Wearing Prada".

Roman has seen this movie in his previous life, and Anne Hathaway's peak appearance is perfectly displayed in this movie.

The reason why I didn't recognize it the first time was that the script of this novel was quite thick and the content was much more than that shown in the movie.

After reading it carefully several times, Roman was completely sure that the script was the movie "The Queen Wearing Prada" (the translation was different).

Roman put the script in his hand and looked at it. This is a novel book with a beautiful cover. The publishing company is a British publishing company. The author's name is Lauren Weisberg.

The careful script was put in the drawer, Roman tidyed up the things on the table and was ready to go home. Today’s harvest is very good, and it is a joyful thing. The rest is to send someone to contact the author tomorrow, this The project is very promising.

......

"Mie, you find someone to go to the UK, contact the author, and ask if she still has the right to adapt the book." Roman came to the company the next day, and first started sending people to contact Lauren- Weisberg.

"No problem, Roman, I'll send someone to England right away."

......

It was raining lightly in the sky, and Joel quickly got into a taxi, "hi, buddy, where are you going?" The driver is a middle-aged man in his thirties.

"Go to the Lapus community around London, you know the place."

"Don't worry, it will be there in more than an hour." The driver started the car and drove smoothly.

Joel sighed as he looked at the scenery outside the window.

Inexplicably, he was sent to England by his boss Mie to contact a writer named Lauren Weissberg, which made Joel feel a little dissatisfied. It happened so suddenly, I didn't prepare for anything, so I hurried to the UK. It was not a wonderful experience.

Thinking of things in my mind, time seemed to pass faster. Not long after, the taxi stopped outside the community.

After paying the fare, Joel took out his cell phone and dialed the number of Lauren Weissberg's home, which he asked at the publishing company.

"Excuse me, is it Ms. Lauren Weissberg?"

"I'm from a Hollywood production company."

"The company is called Manhai Entertainment."

"Our company has produced two movies called "Small Town Zombie" and "Infected". Do you have any impression?" Joel explained carefully, and Ms. Lauren on the other end of the phone was very cautious.

"I want to talk to you about the rights to the adaptation of the "Devil Wearing Prada" you wrote."

"Okay, okay, we will meet tomorrow... okay, we will talk when we meet."

Joel, who hung up, let out a sigh of relief, and agreed to meet Lauren Weisberg, even if it was half done.

It was still raining outside, and the rain seemed to be getting heavier. Joel asked someone about the location of a nearby hotel, then took a taxi to get there, drove the room, took a hot shower, and was in Shu After eating the food provided by the hotel comfortably, Joel had nothing to do, so he went to bed early.

In the morning of the next day, Joel first called to confirm the time and place of the meeting. After the appointment, Joel rushed there in advance.

The meeting place is a tea restaurant with exquisite decoration.

Joel picked a window on the second floor, sat down, and called the boss of the company, Mr. Roman.

"President Roman, I have arranged for Lauren Weissberg to meet, and she will be there in about an hour."

After receiving a phone call from Joel, Roman instructed, "If the copyright is still in her hands, ask her asking price, it's best to ask her bottom line."

"Okay, President, I will pay attention."

When Roman hung up, Joel put the phone back in his pocket and began to wait patiently for Lauren Weisberg's arrival. This was the first time the boss took the initiative to ask him to come out and do something, and Joel also wanted to get things done well and leave a good impression on his bosses.

About an hour later, Lauren Weisberg came and was watching with his eyes there.

"Miss Lauren, here." Joel stood up and greeted her.

Lauren Weisberg found Joel, walked over here, and sat down directly, showing no sign of shaking hands with Joel.

Since the lady didn't stretch out her hand first, Joel wouldn't take the liberty to stretch out her hand.

Asking the waiter for a cup of coffee, Joel asked Lauren, "Miss Lauren, would you like something to drink?"

"A glass of mango juice." The waiter next to him nodded and left.

The woman in front of her looked outstanding, and Joel felt a kind of pressure.

"Miss Lauren, do you still have the right to edit "The Devil Wearing Prada"?"

"Still." Lauren Weissberg asked rhetorically, "Does your company want to buy the copyright of my book?"

"Yes, our Manhai Entertainment Company intends to buy the copyright." Joel replied.

"10 million dollars."

"What?" Joel thought his ears had misheard.

But obviously it’s not that Joel’s ears had a problem. Lauren Weisberg repeated it again, “For $10 million, I can sell the adaptation rights of The Devil Wearing Prada to your company.” Lauren found yesterday. People have inquired about the situation of Manhai Entertainment, a newly emerging Hollywood production company, and both movies produced are very popular. If it weren’t for the company’s strength, she would squeeze a little time to discuss copyright issues today. , Otherwise she won't come. The novel she wrote is very popular. Many production companies have come to her to inquire about the copyright. There are even big companies like 20th Century Fox and Warner Bros. Pictures. If Manhai Entertainment is unwilling to agree to her terms , There is no need to talk, she has no shortage of collaborators.
