Chapter 271: Connection
Wang gradually looked at the final version of the contract with Time Warner while looking at the Twitter topic area on the computer screen.
""I'm So Rich" actually wants to be adapted for film and television? Who is the heroine played?"
"I really want to see it, but according to the scale in the book, there is a high probability that it will be PG-16, I am not old enough, what a pity!"
"Comeon, you haven't bought beer, can't you use fake documents?"
"Let me tell you, watching "Instinct" on the big screen is completely different from renting a tape!"
The concerns of these readers... Isn't it a little weird?
Wang gradually took a sip of coffee and shook his head gently.
"The enthusiasm of the readers is so high that I don't want to finish it. ”
"King," said Tom, cheerfully.
"The Writers' Association issued a statement against the unfounded accusations of plagiarism. ”
"The most critical point is that science fiction writers, horror and suspense writers associations, etc., have all jointly signed!"
Well?
Wang gradually took the document and looked at it, and found that except for the cold academic writers association and the realistic writers association that no one looked down on, the names of the other classification associations appeared on the document.
"Is that reflected on the website?"
"Of course," Tom pulled out a statistic, "although the reputation is not obvious, there are still a few physical book writers who have thrown themselves into our arms!"
In other words, the matter of adaptation rights not only attracts top writers, but also has an impact on the perception of ordinary writers?
Wang gradually groaned, and while calling the lawyer Matthew, he thought about the outline, and prepared to finish "I'm Too Rich" as soon as possible.
"After all, only when it is about to be finished can we adapt the script and carry out preliminary planning. He sighed, "We have to maintain this heat." ”
After that, Wang gradually moved the keyboard and began to continue typing.
This film, which is considered by the outside world to be a "self-portrait" of his life, finally ushered in the finale.
......
At the same time, Sarah is also watching this "I'm Too Rich".
She wanted to know how her younger brother described his past life.
The protagonist gets a certain inspiration after experiencing the incident of an African-American woman.
If you have to rack your brains to spend money, why not help the people around you?
So, he first bought a winery and asked his adoptive father, Frank, to act as a taster.
Well, the drunkard didn't believe it at all.
"But it doesn't matter!" Frank strode in, looking at the winery, "even the homeless man has to cry when he sees me, what else can you grab?"
"I can't stand it! I have to taste so many kinds of wine every day, and I don't have time to wake up at all!" a young taster shouted, running out of the tasting room.
"Cut, I don't have the spirit of hardship at all!" Frank pouted, "I risked being shot to sleep with his wife at the policeman's house for the sake of wine!"
"How's Frank?" the protagonist asks the head of the winery.
"I've never met someone as dedicated as him. ”
"Even though I'm older, I'm still going to achieve something. ”
Seeing this, Sarah laughed.
Since you like to drink, let you drink for the rest of your life.
Isn't this my adoptive parents?
After knocking the medicine, if you like to beat and scold the children so much, then in the hospital, knock until you die!
As for the older brother, he deserves to be a genius.
After the protagonist buys an application with money, he gets the chance to attend college.
"Originally, I was looking at the sponsorship to put up with his stinky temper. The mentor said to his colleague, "But now, his ability to learn is fully worth it." ”
"My other older brother, Ryan, wants to be in the army, but he's gay," the protagonist complains to the lawyer, rubbing his brow.
"Uh... Although the US military has adopted the principle of 'don't ask, don't tell,' it's not impossible. The lawyer thought for a moment and looked at Carl.
"As long as there is a certain operation, there is a special brigade among the seals. ”
"Ryan has a letter," the second sister held the envelope and shouted loudly, "He has a good life in the army, and even has a boyfriend!"
So, the first person in our family to have a regular spouse was a boyfriend made by a man?
"So, what is your dream?" the protagonist asks the second sister in a casual tone.
"I want to have children, I want them now!"
Huh?
The protagonist rubbed his hair in distress, "What kind of monster is this family, the girl doesn't want to be handsome and in love, and she actually wants to be an unmarried mother?"
"You can't spend money to buy her a child, right?"
"Why do you want children?" the protagonist asks.
"Only children want to listen to me, and I like to tell them stories. The second sister replied.
Carl thought for a moment for an African-American woman, "Then why don't you write some stories and sell them exclusively to children?"
"Children's authors?" the second sister looked at Carl suspiciously, "Will anyone publish or buy it?"
If you have enough money, it's not a problem!
The protagonist faced the second sister and nodded seriously.
Well?
Sarah frowned, "So, I'm the second sister of this oil bottle?"
"I didn't expect that a writer in our family could sell 10,000 books. Fiona, the eldest sister, sighs at the protagonist.
Well, more than 9,000 of them are stored in the warehouse I rented!
"Eldest sister, what are your wishes?"
"My wish is that you all grow up safely, and don't become like Frank used to be..."Fiona stood in front of the window, looking into the distance.
Is this why you see me so tight that I don't even have time to go out and spend money?
Seeing this, Sarah took a sip of coffee.
"I don't know if it's an illusion, I always feel that the two of them get along a little ambiguous..."
She shook her head and continued to look at the screen.
"There's a lot of money, how can I spend it to get a $1 billion inheritance!" the protagonist looked at the inseparable eldest sister and scratched his hair in distress.
That's right!
Writer!
The second sister's, but let herself lose all her money!
Just do it, Carl picked up the pen and began to write.
Anyway, if you don't pursue a big sale, it's good to write blindly!
"I travel to the Atlas and then I can become stronger by eating..."
What is good to eat?
Carl thought about it and decided to use his favorite snack, tacos!
But I didn't expect that this nonsense book was actually TM profitable!
Sarah looked at the screen and giggled.
That's when a book lover named Jack Dorsey approached him.
"Mr. Karl, your work is very good, but the number of copies issued is too small, why don't you issue more?"
"Not interested!" Karl shook his head, thinking about losing money.
"Or," Jack Dorsey was embarrassed, "and we're putting this online?"
"Just building a website, it costs money..."
Money?
Hearing this, the protagonist's eyes lit up!
"In order to make more readers see it, you should spend some money!" Carl said seriously.
"How much does it cost to build a website?"
"The best, about $5 million. Jack Dorsey's eyes lit up and he immediately added, "I can barely see it, and it only takes $100,000." ”
"How can you let readers have a bad reading experience!" Carl calculated, and the amount he needed to spend was about $5 million.
"I trust you very much!" Karl patted the other party on the shoulder, "For this $5 million, you can go build a website!"
Jack Dorsey was moved as he held the check.
"With such a big trust, I must do a good job!"
"Well, in order to spread faster, I want to attach the Twitter I have been researching to the website!"
On the last deadline of the estate, two lawyers walked into the apartment.
"Mr. Karl, after inspection, you are already eligible to inherit a billion dollars. ”
"A billion dollars?" Fiona looked at the check, then at Carl.
"So, the changes in our family are all because of you?"
Belch...
Carl looked at a pair of beautiful eyes and immediately waved the lawyer away.
"Fiona, you listen to my explanation, I didn't mean to, don't be angry!"
Fiona stared at her younger brother, who was boarding at home, and her eyes began to smile.
"How could I be angry?"
She opened her arms and kissed Carl, "It's too late for me to thank you!"
Well?
Carl felt the warmth of his lips and froze for a moment.
At this moment, his mobile phone rang suddenly.
"Mr. Karl, we made it!"
"Twitter has met the criteria for an IPO and is about to go public!"
"Heh," Sarah chuckled, "it looks like a self-portrait..."
"But—" she touched her slightly flushed face, "Do I have to be proactive?"
