Legendary Hollywood Producer

Romain also set off for the UK early this morning, because Lauren Weisberg's attitude was very tough, insisting on fixing the $10 million copyright adaptation fee and not letting go. Joel could not persuade her. After calling Romain, he talked to Lao. Len Weisberg made an appointment to talk again next time, and he "ran away."

Such a woman with a big mouth, destroyed Joel's young heart.

On the plane, Roman looked at the information and data about the novel "The Devil Wearing Prada" that Mie had compiled for him and Lauren Weisberg's own experience.

If you want to convince Lauren Weisberg, you must at least understand her basic situation.

Lauren Weissberg, born in 1977, Pennsylvania, United States.

After graduating from Ivy League University, with his resume in the English department, he got the position of assistant editor of "vogue". After 10 months of work, he left to work as an editor in another company. After leaving his job, he wrote the semi-documentary novel "The Devil Wearing Prada" by Mary Su.

Once the novel was released, it was on the best-selling list in North America in 2003. According to Lauren Weisberg, it was adapted from her real experience when she was an assistant to the editor-in-chief of "Vogue".

Roman frowned when he saw this. He was a little "disgusted" by Lauren Weisberg's approach.

If these are her true information, then Lauren is really a careful eye and black belly.

She left the company and discredited her boss backhand. The book reveals Lauren’s grievances against her boss. Using people’s sense of voyeurism and curiosity towards the fashion industry, she consumes a lot of what she originally had. The boss, and the reputation of the "vogue" company, which is why this novel has become popular.

Stained, Roman looked at Lauren's information and thought: This woman is not simple, she is really "smart" who can do all the ways to leak other people's privacy for profit.

Based on the information in his hand, Roman obtained a preliminary judgment. This Lauren Weisberg is a "smart" person. I heard Joel said that many production companies have contacted her, and she has not sold the copyright until now. , It is estimated that I want to maximize the benefits.

However, it is estimated that other companies are just doing business and want to sweep the copyright of the works on the bestseller list into their own companies. As for the strong desire to shoot, it is still impossible. This is also Roman’s opportunity, but on the other hand, this woman You have a brain, and you have to be prepared for hemorrhage.

Roman is also mentally prepared. He never thought that he could buy the right to adapt a novel that is best-selling in the United States for hundreds of thousands of dollars. This time with him, there is also Nordman, the executive president of the legal department of Western Europe Pictures. Reese, he helped Roman solve the legal issues regarding the adaptation of the novel.

After arriving in the UK, Roman passed Joel and met with Lauren Weisberg.

It was at the cafe where Joel negotiated, and Roman met Lauren Weissberg.

"Hello, Miss Lauren." Roman stood up and stretched out his hand, said hello to Lauren Weissberg who came by, and said politely, "I am Roman, the president of Manhai Entertainment. I am glad to meet you. ."

Perhaps it was the name of the president of a production company that touched Lauren. This time Lauren Weissberg also extended his hand and greeted Roman friendly, "I’m sorry to make you wait a long time, Roman." This blonde, blue-eyed, The sturdy woman said slightly apologetically.

"It's okay, I've only just arrived. Do it, Miss Lauren."

After Lauren Weisberg sat down, Roman took his seat, showing a little gentlemanly demeanor.

The waiter brought the menu, and Roman helped the fellow Nordman and Joel and himself ordered a cup of coffee, and then handed the menu to Lauren.

While Lauren made an order, Roman also looked at the woman in front of him without leaving a trace.

Wearing a white shirt and dark wide trouser legs, she looks very strong, much like the middle-aged aunt who often appears in American movies, and her temperament is unexpectedly good. Before coming, Roman was still thinking that Lauren should have a mean temperament. After all, it's a very dishonest thing to keep hurting your boss overtly and secretly, and exposing other people's privacy. Of course, this is only the first impression, and it doesn't explain much.

"Ms. Lauren, your writing is very good. It has made me understand a lot of things that I didn't know before. It is thought-provoking. I read it back and forth several times." Roman said sincerely, "Written by fashion trends It's really great. You are born with such a fashion sense. No wonder you can write such a good article."

A faint smile flashed across Ms. Lauren’s face. She was very useful to Romain’s flattery, but she was able to work in "Vogue" and write a best-selling book. She has a little bit of career politics. Not low, she said with a smile on her face and said enthusiastically, "Mr. Roman is young and promising. He has succeeded twice in a short period of time. You are much better than me. I admire you very much."

After exaggerating a few more words, Roman turned to the topic.

"Manhai Entertainment wants to obtain the adaptation rights of "The Devil Wearing Prada", and we are willing to pay 7 million U.S. dollars." Roman tentatively said that 7 million U.S. dollars is almost the lower price of the novel adaptation rights on the bestseller list.

Sure enough, Lauren disagreed, "Ten million dollars, Mr. Roman, with this price, Manhai Entertainment can immediately take away the right to adapt the novel."

Roman said a bit exaggeratedly, "Ten million dollars, Miss Lauren, do you know what that means?" Continued to say to himself, "This price is enough for me to buy the right to adapt the novel on the top of the list, Lao Miss Lun, your work is not the first."

Ms. Lauren’s expression remained the same, "But your company is not a big production company like Warner Bros., if you are, I can consider changing hands for $8.5 million."

Well, it seems that there is some truth to what he said, but it's a pity that Roman is the one who wants to keep the price down.

"But we have the ability to make movies, and you know, Miss Lauren, our Manhai Entertainment Company has not failed yet."

"But this does not mean that you are a success this time. Although I am very optimistic about my work, who can tell the movie." Ms. Lauren has reliance in her heart, and the initiative has always been in her. , She is not afraid of no collaborators.

Roman has been arguing with her for a long time, and all kinds of hidden benefits have been promised. Why can we set up a movie this year? What can be paid in one lump sum, but Ms. Lauren just doesn’t let it go. Roman was gone, so he had to retire first.
