Chapter 176

In the afternoon, Andy and rob Freeman sat opposite each other in the coffee shop of Hilton Hotel. Andy didn't go around again this time, but simply said his conditions.

”If Pinnacle wants the rights to these two novels, then I need to get 25% of pinnacle! Don't worry. Listen to me. I'm very optimistic about the potential of these two novels to be adapted into movies. I think many people in Hollywood agree with this. Otherwise, there won't be so many companies bidding. I spent more than six million yuan on the copyright of Twilight series. I think it's worth at least ten million dollars, plus the box office share. So is my hunger game. Bi But its first film now has a sales volume of more than a million, and the data won't lie... "

Andy's words never stop. Robert Freeman wanted to interrupt Andy's persuasion several times, but when he heard Andy said:" what I have been pursuing is to give professional things to professional people. I have several companies, all of which are managed by professional Jing Ying. In addition to its attractive distribution channels, you, Robert Freeman, paramount The former CEO is also the reason why I care so much. If I become the top shareholder smoothly, I will choose to support you. I think another founder, as an insider, will naturally support you. In this way, in the future, the company's decision-making will not be completely controlled by the board of directors, avoiding the random command of laymen. What do you say? I don't think my condition is too much. "

Andy's voice fell. Rob Freeman, who was not very happy about Andy's lion's big opening, frowned a little, and his lips moved a little. The middle-aged man in Jingming looked at Andy's young face with a little green between his eyebrows. There was a complicated accident in his eyes, and he fell silent into thinking.

Andy didn't disturb each other's thinking. We are all smart people. Some things are transparent at all. We don't need to say everything in a direct way.

Of course, rob knows that there are too many mothers-in-law on his head, and how serious the constraints on him are. Fortunately, the top founders of the three shareholders, Zhongyuan Xianxian, support themselves. However, the other two shareholders are not so easy to get along with each other. What they value is making money, and they don't like Rob's behavior of collecting the copyright of plays and novels.

Is Hollywood short of scripts?

Don't make fun of it. Even Hollywood restaurant waiters and taxi drivers are writing scripts. Any small person meeting is talking about new scripts and new ideas, not to mention those movie companies. The scripts in Hollywood screenwriters' Union are everywhere, and there is no shortage at all.

First class script, second class actor, third class director...

First class director, second class script, third class actor...

First rate actors, second rate directors, third rate scripts...

This basically includes the operation mode of the world's film factory. The two shareholders need to make a lot of money from their investment. As for the development and details of the company, they don't care.

Rob looked up at Andy, who was sitting opposite him, and said, "although I'm very optimistic about the potential of these two novels, I can't guarantee that others are equally optimistic about them. After all, before it becomes real data, it's just an imagination. I'm not sure about persuading the shareholders of the company!"

Andy chuckled and shook his head and said, "Mr. Freeman, you are all smart people. You don't have to change your concept. In this way, the film and television copyrights of my two series of novels in 50 years are priced at $25 million. I don't want cash. As long as the shares of Summit Entertainment, do you think it's more clear."

“。。。。。。” Robert freiman looked at Andy's young and handsome face. Before, he didn't care much about the gifted young people who were praised by the media. Now it seems that he is not only a genius, but also a very smart businessman. He has enough attractive chips in his hands and understands the value of chips in his own hands, which makes people headache.

"All right! I've understood what you mean, Mr. Smith. However, I'm just a professional manager. I don't have any right to speak or make decisions about the company's shares. I can only call the shareholders of the company to make decisions. If it doesn't work out, we still hope to cooperate with Mr. Smith

Andy shakes his head and laughs. He directly interrupts Robert Freeman's words. The smile on his face disappears. With a little pride in his serious expression, he says, "if I don't agree with my requirements, then we don't need to meet again. After all, Summit Entertainment is just a new company, and it's not worth me to give you billions of IPS to operate!"

Robert freiman didn't care about Andy's arrogance, and what he said was true. But he was curious about Andy's evaluation of the value of the two IPS in his hand. However, seeing Andy Smith didn't continue to talk, he could only shake hands with each other in disappointment.

Looking at Andy Smith leaving with his bodyguard, Robert Freeman sighed. Since the success of Harry Potter, the right to adapt the best-selling books about teenagers of Mattel has been rising all the way. It is said that even the losing Marvel company is suing, and would rather lose money to return some of the previously sold superheroes. It seems that everyone is concerned about the past Those IP that are not valued have generated strong interest.Robert Freeman naturally understands the reason. With the development of science and technology, the continuous development and innovation of film technology, some magic and fully imagined scenes can now be made with computers. People are more and more fond of commercial blockbusters.

Film companies, in order to make profits and avoid losses, naturally prefer to take out the IP shooting sequels that have already been successful and are not willing to take a big risk to invest in shooting new commercial blockbusters. In case of street fighting, the losses are not millions, but maybe tens of millions, which is enough for the company's behind the scenes bosses to fire their professional managers.

Take a look at the current six majors, which one is not managed by the hired professional manager, so it has become their basic consensus that they would rather cook cold food than take risks with new ingredients, unless the big boss makes a decision.

Back in the hotel room, rob freiman took his mobile phone, frowned and hesitated for a while, but he was finally influenced by Andy's persuasion. It was undoubtedly a good thing for him to add a shareholder to support him.

"Mr. Pierce, I'm Rob. Things are not going well. I can't answer Andy Smith's offer. I have to call you..."

Andy is sitting in the car, with a smile on his lips. He can see how Robert freiman rejects the things he wants to become a shareholder of the company. It seems that the interior of pinnacle entertainment company is not very peaceful.

In this way, a disharmonious board of directors will be conducive to the completion of their own plans.
