Los Angeles, inside a small apartment off Mulholland Road.

Paul?? Schulling was counting a stack of Franklins with some excitement as he sighed in his heart.

"Thank you for 'Prison Break', thank you to the female author named Sarah!"

Because of the broadcast of the TV series "Prison Break", the website attracted a large number of readers.

After reading it, these readers will habitually search for the word prison.

At present, there are only two works with prisons on the website.

Although, most readers only read Paul?? Schulling's work, he chose to give up.

However, there are still a small number of readers who choose to pay for reading.

So, the original broken jar was broken, and after fully imagining the original script, Paul posted it to the website?? Schulling actually earned tens of thousands of dollars.

He looked at the news on TV that the Writers Guild had chosen to strike, and shook his head indifferently.

But suddenly, his phone rang.

"Hey, who are?"

"I'm a staff member, are you Paul?? Mr. Schulling?"

"Yes. Because of the money he made on the site, Paul had a good impression of the site.

"That's right, at present, some film and television companies have taken a fancy to your "Special Forces in Prison" and hope to get your authorization. ”

Paul?? Shuerling was stunned at first, then ecstatic.

Can your own works be made into films?

Is your dream coming true?

Thanks for the site!

"At the moment, you have two options. The voice from the other side continued, "First, $70,000 to sell the license." ”

However, according to your agreement with the website, the website will take a 30% license fee. ”

"And you're going to get $49,000. ”

"The other way is to change the title of your work to 'Prequel to Prison Break: From Prisoner to Warden) and with the help of the staff, you can make some changes to the work. ”

"That way, you'll get $100,000. ”

"Prison Break Prequel: From Prisoner to Warden"?

What is this TM?

"Isn't it infringing?" asked Paul.

"Originally, the site was going to pay you $120,000 for the license, but $20,000 of that money will go to the original author of Prison Break, Ms. Sarah. ”

"So, there is no infringement issue. ”

To be honest, literary workers are very disgusted by changing their works at will.

But, Paul?? Schulling has already changed it once.

And... That's $100,000!

Only a screenwriter with a small reputation can get this price!

After a moment of thought, Paul?? Schulling threw aside the reserve of a literary worker.

"Okay, I agree!"

"Well, check your mailbox, there will be a new contract sent over. ”

An hour later, inside the office building of New York, the site.

"Wang, the matter you explained a few days ago has been done. Tom walked into the office, "the author of "Special Forces in Prison," had already faxed the contract. ”

Moreover, Miller has agreed to star in "Prison Break" in which he plays the leading role. ”

"Very good," Wang said, "then, the next step is to ask a professional to calculate the cost of shooting." ”

"By the way, let's ask Brett Productions if they are interested in co-producing "Special Forces in Prison". ”

After speaking, Wang gradually shook his head, "No, now it should be "Prison Break Prequel: From Prisoner to Prison". ”

"At the same time, the news was released that we have plans to shoot the prequel to "Prison Break". ”

"After waiting for the sponsorship of advertisers to recover half of the shooting cost, we will start shooting regardless of whether anyone else participates or not!"

Wang gradually tapped his fingers on the table, "Just take it, an attempt?"

"By the way, this is the staff number of Omnicom Advertising. He opened the drawer and found Lynn's business card.

"Professional things are left to professional people. ”

"Suffice it to say that we may have made a mistake in advertising sponsorship in Prison Break. Wang gradually handed the business card to Tom.

"Understood. Tom took the card and turned to leave.

......

A few days later, when Wang gradually was still struggling with how to adapt the "Abnormal Creature Experience" and "The Legend of Zhen Huan in the Harem" in his mind.

Tom has initialled the agreement with Omnicom on behalf of the website.

The agreement stipulates that the contract will be formally signed after Omnicom Advertising has brought in a certain amount of advertising interest for the prequel of "Prison Break".

And Tom, who is very eye-catching, of course, by the way, recommended the person on the business card to be the person in charge of the project.

As a result, Lynn has changed from an ordinary advertising planner to a project leader.

This simply made this ambitious woman ecstatic.

While vowing to make good use of this opportunity, she sighed in her heart: "Actually, Wang is really good. ”

Lynn first took out all the customer information from the company's data room.

Then, he led his subordinates to call all the companies on the information one by one with the attitude of "customers abuse me thousands of times, and I treat customers like first love".

That kind of hard work is simply amazing.

So, a few days later, in Wang Jian's office.

"This is a fax from Omnicom Advertising. Tom said: "At the moment, in addition to Zara's $600,000 apparel to get the right to sponsor the costume of the prequel to 'Prison Break'. ”

"The rest, totaling $400,000 in various advertisements. ”

"Among them, it includes a variety of products such as food, medicine, and cigarettes. ”

"That's about one-third of our estimated production cost. ”

"By the way, there are prison giants who are willing to provide filming locations for free. ”

"What are the requirements?" asked Wang gradually with a little crying and laughing.

"Uh," Tom spread his hands, "they hope that the normal prison will be mainly photorealistic, and that the protagonist can be exaggerated to a certain extent when he is in a high-class prison." ”

"In order to stimulate the families outside the prison and give the inmates an upgrade. ”

It's really heartbreaking!

"Yes. Wang gradually replied, "But you have to add money!"

"Understood. Tom nodded.

"By the way, Bright Productions didn't agree to co-production, but one person called and asked about the possibility of co-production. ”

"Who?"

"Reed Hastings. Tom flipped through the information, "It's the founder of a technology company called Pure Software. ”

"However, there have been rumors recently that this company will be bought by IBM at a high price, so this person should be very rich. ”

"Heh, another tech tycoon who wants to enter the entertainment industry?" Wang gradually smiled.

"Not really. Tom's expression became serious, "This person wants to get the right to sell exclusive tapes and DVDs for the prequels of "Prison Break" and "Prison Break". ”

To that end, he is willing to give up some of his producer power. ”

"Huh? That's kind of interesting. Wang gradually subconsciously turned the pen in his hand, "Contact this person to see if it is inconvenient for him to have an interview." ”

"Let me meet this, Reed Hastings. ”
