Regarding Monroe's project, Dunn approved it. Not now, but when there is a chance in the future, we can prepare for the filming.
Manola Dages was very excited. She felt that she had met a like-minded boss. "There is also a novel called "The Girl Who Moves Souls," written by Susannah Kaysen. It is her autobiography, which is very valuable for adaptation."
Andrew O'Hare nodded and said, "This is a female theme. If there are female stars with strong appeal to join, there should be a profit at the box office."
The first time the two analysts reached an agreement, Dunn laughed immediately, "Well, we want the copyright of this novel!"
Manola Dages is very happy, "Next is the work of two famous writers, Anne Rupp and Stephen King."
Tang Enhan was surprised, I had never heard of one!
"Annie Rupp's novel "True Love Express" won the National Book Award in 1993 and the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1994, and has great adaptation value..."
Before he could finish speaking, Tang En frowned and interrupted: "The copyright of such a famous novel has been bought by someone long ago, right?"
Manola Dages sneered, "It's true, Columbia Pictures bought the film rights two years ago, but I'm talking about her other work, a short story published in the New York Times this year. , it is said that the album will be published next year."
"Oh?"
Dunn was a little surprised and appeared in the New York Times. It must be an unusual novel. Who is this Anne Rupp? seems very amazing.
"The name of this novel is Brokeback Mountain."
"Pfft!"
Dunn, who was drinking coffee, spit it out!
"boss!"
Andrew and Manora shouted in unison, "Boss, are you all right?"
Dunn took the tissue and wiped his pants, looking a little embarrassed and a little funny, "It's okay, I accidentally choked. Well... I don't think Anne Rupp is such a famous writer, her works must be different. It will be bad, so we must get the copyright of "Brokeback Mountain"!"
Manola Dages said with a smile: "I am relieved to have your words, boss. Then there is Stephen King's work. He wrote a book last year called "Miracle in the Green Mile", which is very flavorful. ."
Andrew O'Hare curled his lips and said, "Stephen's work? Since The Shawshank Redemption made a joke, I don't like him anymore."
Tang En said with a half-smile, "Andrew, market analysis can't rely on intuition."
Andrew O'Hare smiled awkwardly.
Manola Dages glanced at Andrew O'Hare proudly, and suddenly thought of something, "By the way, Stephen King also has a fantasy work, which is especially classic, called "The Dark Tower"! I think it's definitely filmed. It's going to be a big hit at the box office!"
Tang En naturally didn't believe it. She is an art researcher, so she can also analyze the market?
Andrew O'Hare's face became serious. "The Dark Tower has now been serialized in 4 novels. I have read them all, and they are very exciting. But... I am afraid that it will not be made into a movie."
"Why?" Manora's eyes widened.
Andrew said slowly: "There is a big problem with the style of this novel. Commercial blockbusters must conform to mainstream values. The cult style of "The Dark Tower" has a very small audience and uses various anti-logic techniques to make it into a film. It is estimated that most people will not understand the movie. Commercial movies... Brainless entertainment is the best."
Tang En blinked and thought of something, "Can we make it into a TV series?"
The scale of the American drama has shocked the world's attention. A little bit of cult style will actually increase its popularity.
"Yeah... it should work." Andrew didn't react for a while, "Boss, do you want to make a TV series? Aren't we a film company?"
Tang En said with a smile: "Let's take down the copyright first. The company always needs to develop."
Manola Dages said meaningfully: "Boss, Stephen King is the most famous writer of popular novels in the United States, and his copyright fee is not low."
"Uh……"
Dunn was at a loss for words.
After investing in stocks and movies, Dunn only had 5 million dollars in spare money on hand, and he had to maintain the normal operation of the company. The copyright of several millions of novels was indeed unaffordable.
"Up to 4 million US dollars, this is the maximum amount I can pay now." Dunn thought for a while and said a number, "As for which copyright should be bought first, and which copyright should be purchased later, you can decide, Ma Nora, you and George do this together."
"$4 million?" Manola Dages was very happy that with such a large check, all other works except Stephen King's novels could be received.
"Is there any more?" Dunn asked. Although Manola made him almost "destroy his family", he was still quite excited by the names of so many familiar works.
Sure enough, he is a great **** whose "literary and artistic aesthetics" has reached 98. This vision is accurate!
Although not all of these films won Oscars, they are all classic films recorded in film history.
Dunn suddenly found that he was going to develop. With Manola Dages and the upcoming art analysis department, I am afraid that half of the Oscars in the future will belong to Dunn Pictures.
I just don't know what surprises and benefits Andrew O'Hare and the future market analysis department will bring him.
"There is the last book, which is written by my good friend. I have already discussed with the publishing house. It will be published in April next year." Manola Dages' face was a little nervous, for fear that Dunn would misunderstand that she was in Benefit your friends.
Dunn smiled and said, "It's okay, Manola, you can talk."
"Her name is Sylvia Nassar. She was my classmate who studied avant-garde literature. She was commissioned by Mr. John Nash to write a biography of him."
Manola's words made a name suddenly pop up in Dunn's mind, and he felt a little short of breath, "John Nash? You mean that 'game theory' economist?"
Manola Dages' eyes lit up, "Boss, do you know him? Yes, he is very famous, he won the Nobel Prize three years ago, and Sylvia Nassar also began to prepare for writing at that time. His biography."
Dunn took a deep breath, "What's the name of the book?"
""beautiful Mind"."
"Sure enough!"
Dunn secretly clenched his fist.
Andrew O'Hair felt unwilling to see that Manola Dageis was highly valued by the boss, and suddenly said, "Boss In this case, I also have two novels to recommend!"
"Oh? Yes!"
Tang En's happy heart was like a flower.
Talents, they are all talents!
"The Chronicles of Narnia, written by the British writer Lewis, is known as the greatest fantasy work after The Lord of the Rings." Andrew O'Hare had not done any preparations before, because he was too familiar with it, so he opened his mouth.
Tang En raised his eyebrows. When he acquired the copyright of "Harry Potter", he had heard of this masterpiece. "It's just... Is the copyright still there for such a famous work?"
Andrew O'Hare said hesitantly: "This work is far more fantastic than The Lord of the Rings, so it is difficult to shoot, and the special effects technology is in great demand, so no film company should dare to touch it. However, with the rapid development of special effects technology, I think within 10 years, this novel will definitely have a chance to make it to the big screen.”
Dunn frowned slightly.
In his previous life, he had seen a movie based on this novel, the first one was successful, the last two... lost the bottom line!
Is it necessary to buy the copyright?
Looking at Andrew O'Hare's hopeful look, Dunn didn't want to beat his self-motivation too much, so he smiled and said, "Okay, then you can deal with it, what about the other work?"
Because of his previous life experience, Dunn had already thought about it. Even if he bought the film copyright of "The Chronicles of Narnia", he would only make one film and never start a sequel!
"The other work is not well-known. It was just published last year and has not been on the bestseller list. I only noticed it because I like fantasy novels."
"what book?"
""A Song of Ice and Fire"."
"Pfft!"
Dunn gushed out another sip of coffee.
Omg!
Baiyun Canggou, I have it in the world!
