After a long period of discussion, Wang gradually and James reached a preliminary agreement on the authorization of the TV series of "Abnormal Creature Observations".

Because Wang gradually is no longer just a simple best-selling author, he has some online resources with a good number of users such as websites and Twitter topics behind him.

Therefore, "Abnormal Creature Observations" got an American drama contract with a top IP similar to the screenwriting team of "Friends".

However, there should also be some reasons why ABC has no intention of fighting.

Of course, Wang gradually did not make further requests, such as participating in the production or anything.

It's not that he's kind, it's mainly that with such a big investment, the website that hasn't been listed really can't afford it!

In the end, the two sides reached an agreement that "Anomaly" will be 30 episodes in a single season, and the website will charge a licensing fee of $2 million per season.

If ABC authorizes the TV drama version of "Anomaly" to other media organizations to broadcast it.

Then, the website can also charge another five percent transfer fee.

As for other revenues such as video products and derivatives, depending on the time, websites can charge profits ranging from 1% to 5%.

As a price, for five years after the completion of filming, the website is not allowed to authorize other organizations to shoot the TV series "Abnormal Creature Observations".

Of course, if the ratings are not up to standard, ABC has the power to cut dramas and other conventional requirements, which are naturally written in the contract.

Finally, Tom and ABC's legal team handed over the contract reviewed by professionals to Wang and James.

The two of them each picked up a pen and signed their names.

"Then, I wish us a happy cooperation. ”

Looking at the back of James leaving, Wang gradually called Lyman.

"Anomaly has been authorized to ABC, and it can start to calculate additional issuance, listing and other related matters according to the growth of the number of website users. ”

And after James walked out of the office building and sat in the car, he also dialed his mobile phone.

"It will take us another half a year to contact the major major shareholders. ”

According to the requirements of the contract, Wang gradually ordered the technical staff as soon as possible to publish the news that "Abnormal Creatures Sights and Stories" was about to be filmed on the homepage.

And then...

The book review area and the Twitter topic area were suddenly turbulent.

"Anomaly is going to be made into a film? Wouldn't it?

"Fantasy creatures go to space, and finally appear in the TV series?"

"Don't get too happy, let's see what NBC did with Superman! ”

"We can't call the shots, so let's discuss which Hollywood stars are suitable for playing vampires, werewolves, and male leads!"

Seeing that there was no obvious antipathy among the readers, Wang gradually breathed a sigh of relief.

Film and television are indeed good, but if you want to lose your basic disk, it will be a bit more than worth the loss.

At this time, in the book review area, a reply caught his attention.

"I can't imagine that one day, I will see another long-form sci-fi work similar to "Star Trek", which will be adapted into a TV series.

Although I don't know much about the entertainment industry, I can't help much. But to encourage the author, I promised to give him the latest Apple computer the next time we met. ”

"Meet?the latest Mac?Who do you think you are, Jobs?"

"I'm Wozniak. ”

"Hah, then I'm Bill?? Gates!"

"You guys found out, I'm actually Bill?? Clinton. ”

"Washington is coming. ”

Seeing that readers were still in the mood to play with this kind of celebrity meme, Wang gradually turned off the computer and continued to read ABC's plan book.

But what he didn't know was that after Adobe, the chief producer of "Anomaly", informed CAA that it was time to start officially launching the packaging service.

In the whole of Hollywood, the actors who heard the news, from the bottom actors to the second-tier stars, were completely crazy!

In 1996, what did the TV series with a production cost of more than 100 million yuan mean for actors?

It means that this is an opportunity to use dollars to pile up and make oneself a step further!

The most critical problem is that TV series are not like movies, and the leading actors need to have the pressure of monoclonal antibody box office.

The ratings of the TV series are high, and the actors can naturally become top stars like Rachel and Monica, who are not inferior to the first-line Hollywood stars.

As for the ratings, the ratings are 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 his current coffee position in Hollywood.

At this time, on the set of Universal, Naomi?? Watts is in a flattering tone, and compatriot Nicole?? Kidman chatted about something.

After the filming of "Prison Break" ended, she was repeatedly rejected by Wang Gradually, so she returned to Hollywood from New York to look for opportunities.

However, the most popular person in "Prison Break" is not her, but Miller.

Coupled with the differences between movies and TV series, Naomi can only get some main supporting roles here.

As for the heroine, there is no chance at all.

Fortunately, she and the big star Tom?? Cruise's wife Nicole?? Kidman is a fellow villager and a friend.

After some currying favor, she was recommended by the other party to become one of the three protagonists of the low-budget movie "The True Colors of a Lady".

"You know what?" said Nicole, chatting casually, "Hollywood's most famous gossip newspaper, the Los Angeles Post, was smashed by some people last night. ”

Naomi wasn't interested in any of this, but she asked cooperatively, "What the hell is going on?"

"It is said that someone reported the privacy of a certain big person. "The other main character, Robin?? White whispered, "That big guy asked ABC to lead the African-American community and smashed the newspaper." ”

Hearing this, Naomi was shocked, "Isn't that the same as "The Godfather"?"

"No, it's scarier than The Godfather. The makeup artist interjected: "The Godfather is illegal, and the police may catch it." ”

"However, the Los Angeles police, who have experienced the riots, will not care at all when they hear 'blacks' and 'discrimination'!"

"This..."Naomi, who has filmed a TV series, 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 much more complicated than TV dramas. Nicole reminded softly, "It's not like New York, you have to be careful in everything you do." ”

Naomi couldn't help but nod her head when she thought about the unreliable producers, responsible directors, and novice actors when she was in New York.

yes, it's not that complicated there!

At this time, Tom?? Cruise's agent, Pie?? Kingsley walked briskly.

She looked at the dressing room and frowned, or was it attached to Nicole?? Kidman's ear whispered.

"TV series?" Nicole complained in a low voice.

But after that, her eyes became brighter and brighter.

"Nami," Nicole said, "thank me!"

"I've got another audition for the two of us!"
