V1.C4

Standing in the vestibule of his villa, looking at the four editorial assistants leaving in a hurry, Adrian's mouth can not help but show a smile. If you think of the shock on their faces as they leave, he knows that his campaign is almost half done.

These scripts were selected after careful consideration and careful consideration, especially the four types sent out in front of him were different, including campus comedy, romantic love, thriller love and horror film. Moreover, three of the four scripts belong to the type with bright spots that can make money, but do not earn much.

Then, when the other party sent someone to negotiate, he again threw out two more potentially valuable scripts -- "American Pie" and "scream". These two films are the model of small cost and high box office, and have made numerous sequels, which can not be seen by the professional quality of these people. Besides, he added some suggestive notes at the back.

So what will be the reaction of major film companies?

Adrian shakes his head and doesn't pay any attention. Anyway, half of his goal has been achieved. As long as the four films are made and make money, the other half is almost achieved.

It's just a little bit sad and reluctant, because one of the first four scripts, the one sold to the assistant in Warner, was supposed to be released two years later, starring Whitney Houston. If Adrian remembers correctly, the film's box office hit $100 million in North America alone - that was $100 million in the early 1990s!

It's a pity that he didn't invest by himself, and sold out at the price of 35000 dollars. He would inevitably be a little depressed. Of course, Adrian left the emotion behind in a few minutes.

If you want to establish your reputation as soon as possible, you can't sell all the scripts that make little money. It's necessary to add a box office hit script to the first few. With a little bit of brainpower from the producers, and the things that Adrian wrote in the back, it's going to make a lot of money for Warner.

Of course, the main reason is that Adrian has a lot of money making scripts in his hands, so don't care about this one. In the past three months when he wrote the script wildly, he took time to register with the writers' Union. It was not because the union could provide help when necessary. What he saw was that the union could deposit and keep the script outline for two years with a fee.

Most screenwriters will keep their outlines with the union, and film companies will often check with the union to see if there is a script worth noticing, or if there is a story that might be similar to a new script.

Adrian put all the ten scripts he had been busy with in the past three months, and in the days to come there will be outlines or complete scripts. In this way, even if the idea of "similarity" may appear, he can still be invincible by virtue of the records kept by the trade union.

As for what changes the "once" writers might make in their lives, I'm sorry, that's not in Adrian's mind. When he was still Zhang haoxuan, he saw a theory in a science fiction novel. He was deeply impressed by the exclusion and muddling through his life. He was quite touched by the sheep theory!

This herding theory is not the one that studies herd effect. The author assumes that more than a billion sheep living in a world full of ice sheets are arranged in isosceles triangle to walk on the ice sheet to survive; the sheep in front can enjoy the grass and water when they meet, while the sheep behind can only eat grass roots and drink residual water.

No sheep can live alone without sheep. In the cold ice field, I don't know when to see the next place with grass and when there will be a snowstorm. Only by walking together and supporting each other can we survive.

The sheep standing at the back of the line, in order to get the same rights as the sheep in front of them - nothing more than eating fresh grass and drinking clean water - they pushed forward desperately. The sheep in front must first maintain their current position, to ensure that they will not be squeezed to the back, and then try their best to move forward.

Some sheep have been struggling for a lifetime because they stand at the back, but they can't appear in the front of the team. Other sheep, when they are just born, naturally stand behind their parents, and their position is much higher than other sheep.

There is no justice in this world.

Now that he is reborn, or can be regarded as God, or some other great power has adopted him as an adopted son, and placed him in a more advanced place, and given him a pair of extremely hard horns, why should he not continue to push forward?

Maybe in the future, he will set up a foundation to help those poor writers, or he may secretly support the writers' Union to strike for their own rights and interests. The strike in 2008 had a far-reaching impact, and several strike plans had died before. He knew all these when he was Zhang haoxuan, but he should give up plagiarism now It's impossible to get money and fame.

Shameless? Of course, there is no denying it. But I don't care.

"I'm going out, Mrs. Galen. Don't wait for me at night." Adrian cleaned up a little and went out. He had an important appointment this afternoon."OK, but I'll make two sandwiches and leave them in the fridge. You just have to put them in the microwave for a spin and eat them." Said Mrs. Galen, who was tidying up the living room.

"Thank you." Adrian nodded and drove downtown.

Although the writing profession in modern times is not as low as it used to be, it is not necessarily high. Otherwise, how could there be a general strike in 2008? Good script, good director and good actor are the three main factors in making a good movie. When did you see a screenwriter asking for a dividend? Even the writers' Union, which earns half a million a year, has never done so.

Although the screenwriter makes it easy for him to step into Hollywood, he will never stop there.

"I didn't expect you to arrive earlier than me, crow." Adrian sat down in front of Claude with a teasing look and nodded to the waiter who came by: "a latte."

Before Claude could speak, he continued to ask in a sarcastic tone, "did you have a good time?"

Although he left all his wealth to Claude, and he had been reading the script for three months, he still took time to look at the financial statements sent by the private accountant. Facing the ups and downs of the curve, Adrian has only one idea: Claude, this boy is addicted to play!

"Hey, how can you say that? The money you gave me has quadrupled." Claude's innocent face.

"When you turn five, you can close your hand and wait for the wave to pass before you start." Adrian said rudely, "don't forget our agreement. It depends on the situation."

That said, Adrian is still a bit depressed, after all, this is a verbal agreement, and in his final words, even if Claude is out of play, he can only accept it. Fortunately, at the beginning, in order to leave the capital to turn over, the villa was not mortgaged out, and Adrian snuck.

"Don't worry, I always keep the agreement in mind. You trust me so much. I can't let you down." Claude smiles and raises his hands.

"My accountant told me there was at most three months left."

"It's at least four months or more for me." Claude said confidently, but also with a little pride, obviously in the three months benefited a lot.

"All right, ED, just tell me what you're asking me out for." He took a sip of his coffee.

"It's very simple. I need to buy a film company and direct a first film." Adrian's fingers tapped on the table.

Claude almost spouted coffee from his mouth. He quickly put down his cup and looked at Adrian in surprise.

"Warner, universal, Fox and Disney have bought one script from me, and are competing for ownership of both, so don't be surprised." Adrian said calmly.

"I thought I thought... " Claude unconsciously made a few gestures.

"You think I was just joking? Come on, crow. I'm very serious Adrian raised his eyebrows. "When can I ask you for help and make fun of it?"

After a long breath, Claude shrugged: "I know, but Ed, you've changed a lot. "

"Everyone will change. I told you that from the day I got electrocuted, I'm not the same as I used to be." Speaking of this, Adrian waved his hand. "Well, I was going to spend 500000 yuan to set up a new film company, but I didn't have so much time and energy to start from scratch, so I planned to buy one. It doesn't need to be too big. The price is about 3 million. It's OK to have a complete department and a basic network. "

Claude stirred the coffee in his cup with a spoon. After a long silence, Adrian finally sighed: "it's really strange, ed. although reason tells me that the idea is crazy, intuition tells me that you are likely to succeed."

"When did you become a babe, crow?" Adrian couldn't help frowning.

"Well," Claude raised his hands, "so what do you want me to do? Open a new account and transfer the money directly to it? Or help you find a film company to sell? "

"It's best if you can help me, but I need four million dollars from you." Adrian thought about it and said, "in addition to buying a film company, I need to buy the rights to adapt several novels and invest in my first film."

"If you do as you say, your first film investment is only a few hundred thousand..." Claude was still finished when Adrian interrupted: "well, Claude, I know you care about me, but please believe me."

"Well," Claude nodded, "but if you only leave me 20 million, I'm not sure I'll make 60 million for you in the end."

"Then it will be reduced to 50 million, and your remuneration will not be included." Adrian said immediately.

"So that's it." Claude drank the coffee and stood up. "I'll see what you can do. This time it's true."www.novelhold.com , the fastest update of the webnovel!
