After the middle-aged white man handed the letter of intent to Wang Jian, he began to sit in his office chair and wait quietly.
But in his mind, he recalled what Mr. bronckman, the new owner of the group, had said to himself when he was appointed to negotiate.
"I really have too much money" is a relaxed and dramatic work, which is very in line with the small and broad comedy mode in the current market. "
"In addition, there is a real story adaptation of the gimmick, so that the audience will not have a sense of unreality, and can avoid critics' bad comments."
Well, on this point, the elite who has been immersed in Hollywood for many years agrees.
After all, that's the reality.
Do you want to say that the producers have no bottom line to please the audience?
Let's take a look at the resume of this young Asian best-selling author!
But...
he sighed and slowly shook his head in his heart.
"The super rich second generation does not abide by the hidden rules of Hollywood. Is it not possible to kill outsiders as much as possible?"
In fact, Wang Jian, who is reading the letter of intent, is also deeply suspicious of this.
Is the terms of this letter of intent too superior?
Two million dollars of license fee, or just a single adaptation right?
The most important problem is that as the author of the original work, he can also give directions to the selection of characters and the final editing.
It's not a pit, is it?
He thought about the experience of dealing with media people, and looked at the opposite side in doubt.
"What if your boss is a fool?"
The middle-aged white people have a bitter smile in their heart, but the expression on their face is very serious. "Little Mr. bronckman respects artists very much. He thinks that the original author's opinions should be fully listened to in the adaptation of works."
Little bronckman?
Wang Jian immediately recalled the report about the name.
Born into a wine family, he sold his family business after being cheated by Hollywood, and entered Hollywood in an all-round way...
"Oh, it doesn't matter...
he nodded and continued to look at the letter of intent in his hand.
"The archetypal female characters in this book need to cooperate with the publicity, which is..." Wang Jian asked again.
"Literally," the middle-aged executive shrugged and began to explain.
"As an autobiographical adaptation of the film and television works, the protagonist of Mr. sweetheart is not as well-known as Mr. Wang."
"But because the other side is a sports agent, their supporting roles are well-known stars, which we really do not have any advantage
"In order to cooperate with the publicity, we will compare the prototype characters with the actors, so as to recover the disadvantages as much as possible."
"Most of the public's interest in writers focuses on emotional relationships."
Er...
Wang Jian read the letter of intent and then looked at the computer screen.
Shentm emotional relationship, character archetype...
several people who have had a relationship with the protagonist are easy to say, after all, he has played a play.
But in order to get close to the reality of the slums, Wang Jian also arranged for African American women.
Do you want a black girl?
"I'm sorry, Mr. Wang. This additional condition has a great influence on the box office." The middle-aged white man took a sip of coffee. "I don't believe you can get better conditions from Hollywood."
Indeed, this kind of black sheep is a once in a thousand years...
while weighing the pros and cons, Wang Jian unconsciously clicks the mouse.
At this time, he suddenly saw the pay list on the home page of the website.
After the initial maladjustment, the traditional writers began to work with their profound writing skills.
Now it has paid for its works, which is an important part of website revenue.
"Why do these famous writers, who are not short of money, choose themselves?" Wang Jian's fingers tapped gently on the desk.
"Isn't it because you want to rely on the website and get the right to speak in the adaptation of works?"
So, in front of interests, is skin color a problem?
Wang Jian thought about it for a moment, and thought that it was no big deal to fall in love with a woman with three breasts in Star Wars...
"I basically agree with these conditions." He looked to the opposite, "after the lawyer's review, we can issue the power of attorney."
"Well..." the middle-aged white man stood up, "wish us a happy cooperation."
After shaking hands with each other, Wang Jian immediately asked the technician of the website to "adapt" I really have too much money "and have part of the final editing right to publish it on the home page of the website."
Because of the plagiarism lawsuit, many writers are paying close attention to the website.
Soon, the news spread among the writers.
"Well, I see." Mr. Stephen King put down the phone and click to go to the website.After carefully reading the adaptation of I'm so rich, he took off his glasses.
"Sure enough, only capital can resist."
Stephen King pondered for a moment, then picked up the phone, "Mr. Heller, shall we make a statement in the name of the association to support Wang Jian?"
"He got part of the final editing rights for the adaptation of the work into a film."
...
thanks to the increasingly developed information exchange tools, Wang Jian also received a call here soon.
"Ha ha, thank you." He make complaints about George Martin, who is talking on the phone.
"I'm not interested in the final editing rights if it's not for your interest."
Of course, one of the purposes is to disgust Viacom group through this incident.
But soon, Wang Jian looked at the mobile phone in doubt and found that the caller was Wozniak.
What does the big guy want to do?
He is not a writer. Does he care about the right of final editing?
"Hello, Wang." Wozniak's voice, seems a little hesitant, "the revenue of audio website has been counted, we can get 1 million dollars of download share."
A million dollars?
A lot!
Wang Jian thought for a moment and was about to speak.
Then he heard another voice coming from the opposite side.
"Forget it, I'll do it."
"Hello, Mr. Wang. I'm Steve jobs
"I've heard that because of the video, the archetypal characters in your book are very popular on social tools?"
"Er... Yes." Wang Jian was still a little confused.
"And, in your new work, there's another important supporting female role, an African American woman?"
"So..." there was a voice from Steve Jobs, flipping through the files.
"What do you think of Beyonce Giselle north?"
"That's the African American female singer who showed us the story of unusual creatures."
PS: the globe in the previous chapter has been changed.
I'm very sorry for the error in checking the information.
After calculation, there is no charge for this period.
