After a long period of discussion, Wang Jian and James reached a preliminary agreement on the authorization of the TV series "abnormal creatures".
Because Wang Jian is no longer just a bestseller, there are websites, twitter topics and other network resources with good user volume behind him.
So, strange creatures got a top IP contract similar to friends.
However, there should also be some reasons why ABC does not want to fight.
Of course, Wang Jian did not put forward any further requirements, such as participating in the production.
It's not that he's kind-hearted. It's mainly because of such a big investment. It's hard to play with a website that hasn't been listed!
Finally, the agreement reached by the two sides is that "abnormal" will have 30 episodes in a single quarter, and the website will charge us $2 million for each quarter.
If a [567] www.yue20.com ]BC authorized the TV version of "abnormal" to other media organizations.
Then, the website can charge another 5% transfer fee.
As for video products, derivatives and other income, according to the time relationship, the website can charge profits ranging from 1% to 5%.
As a price, within five years after the shooting, the website can no longer authorize other organizations to shoot the TV series of "unusual creatures".
Of course, if the audience rating is not up to the standard, ABC has the right to hack the drama and other conventional requirements, which are naturally written in the contract.
Finally, Tom and ABC's legal team will hand over the contract reviewed by professionals to Wang Jian and James.
They each picked up their pens and signed their names.
"Then, I wish us a happy cooperation."
Looking at the back of James leaving, Wang Jian calls Lyman.
"Abnormal" has been authorized to ABC, and it can start to calculate issues related to additional issuance and listing according to the growth of website users. "
And James out of the office, sitting in the car, also dial the mobile phone.
"We need half a year to get in touch with the major shareholders."
According to the requirements of the contract, Wang Jian immediately ordered the technicians to publish the news of the upcoming film and television production of the book on the front page.
Then...
the book review area and the twitter topic area suddenly became turbulent.
"Abnormal" to film and television? No... no? No way
"Fantasy creatures go to space and finally appear in TV series?"
"Don't be happy too soon. Let's see what NBC makes of Superman! Let's hope ABC doesn't destroy the book
"We can't be the masters of those, so let's discuss which Hollywood stars are suitable for playing vampires, werewolves, and male protagonists."
Wang Jian was a little relieved to see that there was no obvious disgust among the readers.
Film and television is really good, but if you want to lose your basic disk, it's a bit of a loss.
At this time, in the book review section, a reply caught his attention.
"I didn't expect to see another long sci-fi work similar to Star Trek adapted into a TV series one day.
Although I don't know much about the entertainment industry, I can't help. But to encourage the author, I promise to give him the latest Apple computer when I meet next time. "
"Meet? The latest Apple computer? Who do you think you are, jobs? "
"I'm Wozniak."
"Ha, then I'm bill gates!"
"You found out that I'm actually Bill Clinton."
"Here comes Washington."
Seeing that readers are still in the mood to play with this kind of celebrity, Wang Jiansui turns off his computer and continues to read ABC's business plan.
What he didn't know was that with James, the chief producer of exception, informing CAA that the packaging service could be officially started.
All over Hollywood, the actors who heard the news, from the bottom actors to the second tier stars, were completely crazy!
In 1996, the production cost of TV series exceeded 100 million. What does it mean for actors?
It means that it's a chance to make your coffee a step further with us dollars!
The most critical problem is that TV series are not like movies, and the leading role needs to be under the pressure of the box office.
With the high audience rating of TV series, the actors can naturally become the top stars who are not inferior to Hollywood, just like Rachel and Monica.
As for the audience rating is not up to standard?
Most of the audience will only complain that the script is too bad and the screenwriter is too bad.
But it will not affect my current position in Hollywood.
At this time, Naomi Watts is chatting with her compatriot Nicole Kidman in a flattering tone on the set of universal.After the shooting of prison break, Wang Jian repeatedly rejected her, so she went back to Hollywood from New York to look for opportunities.
However, "prison break" in the most popular is not her, but Miller.
In addition to the differences between movies and TV series, Naomi can only get some supporting roles here.
As for female owners, there is no chance at all.
Fortunately, she and Nicole Kidman, the wife of big star Tom Cruise, are friends and friends.
After a period of flattery, she was recommended by the other party and became one of the three leading roles in the low-cost film lady.
"Do you know?" Nicole chatted casually. "The Los Angeles post, the most famous gossip newspaper in Hollywood, was smashed by some people last night."
Naomi is not interested in all of these, but still cooperatively asks, "what's the matter?"
"It's said that someone reported on the privacy of a big man." Another protagonist, Robin white, whispered, "that big man let ABC lead the African American community and smashed the newspaper."
Hearing this, Naomi was shocked. "Isn't that the same as godfather?"
"No, it's worse than Godfather." The makeup artist interrupted: "the godfather is against the law. The police may catch it."
"However, the Los Angeles police, who have experienced a great disturbance, will not care at all when they hear about" black people "and" discrimination. "
"This..." Naomi, who has made a TV play, thinks she is also an insider.
But she really didn't expect that the inside story of Hollywood would be so deep.
"Nami, Hollywood is more complicated than TV series." Nicole whispered, "it's not like New York. You have to be careful in everything you do."
Naomi thought that when she was in New York, unreliable producers, responsible directors and novice actors nodded.
Yeah, it's not that complicated!
At this time, Tom Cruise's agent, Pai Kingsley, came quickly.
She looked at the dressing room, frowned, and whispered in Nicole Kidman's ear.
"TV series?" Nicole whispered first.
But after that, her eyes became brighter and brighter.
"Nami," Nicole looked over, "thank me!"
"I've got another audition for both of us!"
