Chapter 51: Peer
Outside Duncan's house.
"Be careful on the road. ”
"When I arrived, I called home. ”
"Adam, goodbye~"
"Yes, rest assured. Goodbye, Charlie~"
In the reluctance of his parents and parents, Teddy hugged Charlie and waved vigorously, and in Gaby's lazy gaze, Adam sat in the co-pilot, waved goodbye to his family, and officially embarked on the road to Columbia in New York.
Through the state through the county.
This time, because it was three people who took turns driving, and the route had already been walked once, there was nothing to appreciate, so I drove almost the whole time without a break.
"Adam, the Lord of Mysteries, has the fantasy of the Lord of the Rings and the suspense of Sherlock Holmes, as well as the mysterious elements of the East, which is actually very suitable for making a series of TV series. ”
Juno chatted with Adam as he drove: "If you want to show it all, HBO is the best fit." When looking for a publishing house to publish, it is best to only sell the right to copy and distribute the book, and the copyright of film and television and peripheral goods should be kept, which is likely to be a big treasure. ”
"Hmm. ”
Adam nodded approvingly: "I think so too." ”
Film and television copyrights and peripheral income rights are not at all comparable to the income obtained from simply selling books, not to mention that the master of mystery is really suitable for making American dramas.
Even Adam had a feeling that when the squid wrote the first part of the Lord of Mysteries, he wrote it completely according to the script of the American drama, looking at the rhythm and scene layout, there is a strong American drama style.
Of course, the style of the master of mystery is a bit dark, which is not suitable for Disney's kind of family fun, and if you want to better show the essence of the book, HBO, which is famous for its large scale, is definitely the best choice.
HBO is a cable television network media company, the parent company is Time Warner, and the DC Comics where Batman is located belongs to Time Warner.
Unlike most free-to-air television stations, HBO does not survive by selling ads for advertising fees, but by subscriptions.
Pay if you want to see it!
There are so many free TV series to watch, why does HBO dare to charge, doesn't HBO know that free is king?
No!
Of course HBO knows!
Under the continuous impact of the free tide, HBO still chose to take the road of boutique subscription charging, that is, spending huge sums of money to carefully create high-quality boutique TV series to attract viewers who are disgusted by countless brainless soap operas.
As a result, HBO has seen a growing number of subscription-paying viewers over the past two decades, and in the future, nine out of 10 paying households will choose HBO, with a total of 35 million subscribers.
The Sopranos, Sex and the City, True Love Like Blood...... A series of high-quality TV series have firmly locked the audience's attention on HBO, and gradually have the reputation of 'HBO production, must be a high-quality product'.
Game of Thrones, released in 2011, overturned the gap between TV series and movies.
In the past, TV series were 'shoddy', and movies were meticulously crafted with big scenes, but every season and episode of Game of Thrones, whether it was capital investment or production process, was completely made according to the movie.
From then on, the American dramas of high-quality and large-scale productions can be called a series of movie universes.
There are no fools who pay!
The free ones are the most expensive!
Ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, all the same!
If the master of mystery wants to make an American drama, Adam's first choice is HBO, even if he has less money, he can consider it.
Money is a number to a certain extent, and he would never sell the master of mystery to a shoddy production company in order to sell it for more money.
"By the way, when will the second part of the Lord of Mysteries come out?"
“......”
Adam suddenly didn't want to speak.
The country is vast and sparsely populated, and the most that passes through the state and county is the endless highway and the desert area on both sides, and a car passes by for a few days at every turn, and once something happens, the ghost can't be found.
That's why so many Mi horror films choose this kind of environment to shoot.
Adam: They had a similar situation.
On the straight road, 'the ancients are not seen before and the comers are not seen'.
After changing hands several times, this time it was Adam's turn to drive, and Karen was reluctant to sit in the co-pilot, sitting in the back seat with Juno, who was used as a pillow by Juno.
Adam occasionally made eye contact with Karen in the rearview mirror, and saw that her eyes were bright, and the air in the car was extremely quiet.
After driving for a while, a car suddenly followed.
Adam's heart tightened, and he quickly looked carefully in the rearview mirror, and saw that it was an old-fashioned Ford with a suitcase strapped to the roof, and he was slightly relieved, but he still did not let his guard down.
Is this a country of rice, or on a deserted highway, and God knows what will happen?
Doodle.
The car behind honked, then accelerated, came to the left side of the car, and ran alongside Adam.
"Hey, buddy, let me ask you, is there pure friendship between men and women?"
The car was driven by a short young man, and in the passenger seat was a curly-haired beauty, who smiled at him with an embarrassed face, and the smile was Adam's favorite kind of dimple, and it was the short young man who asked.
"That depends on the specific situation. ”
The seats in the back row of the other party were full of salutes, which should be similar to them, Adam replied with a smile.
"See?"
When the curly-haired beauty heard this, she glanced at the short young man in the driver's seat: "You are a fallacy at all, as a man, why is there such a big gap in life." ”
"Do you really think there is pure friendship between men and women?"
The short young man ignored the curly-haired beauty and squinted at Adam: "Be honest as a man, and dare to think and dare to be a man, let me ask you, when you saw her for the first time, did you just want to make friends with her?"
"Harry!"
When the curly-haired beauty heard this, she glanced at the ordinary Adam, her face turned red, and she glared angrily at the short young man who was driving.
"What's wrong?"
The short young man Harry shrugged his shoulders: "You are so beautiful, unless he is not a man, otherwise when I see you, the first thought I want to be indescribable with you, this is the result of tens of millions of years of evolution of males, and it is not subject to human will." ”
"Not really. ”
Adam laughed: "If men and women don't conform to each other's aesthetics at all, friendship can still exist." ”
The curly-haired beauty's face turned even redder, for Adam was clearly vaguely agreeing with the short young man's point of view.
"Haha. ”
Harry, the short young man, smiled: "According to what you say, such a man and woman are not even of the opposite sex in each other's eyes, of course they can be friends."
But as long as there is a little attraction, even if both men and women have their own hearts, but subconsciously, they also regard each other as terrible objects, and the slightest temptation, this fragile friendship will quickly deteriorate, this is human nature!"
As he said this, the short young man glanced at Juno and Karen in the back seat, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, his smile became much more sincere, and he teased: "Brother, you should know these truths better than I do......"
The corners of Adam's mouth twitched, who is your brother!
