Chapter 550: One hundred thousand dollars
Although he has been playing games, the vice president of the publishing company still has some ability after all, so while playing, he also paid attention to the change in the expression of the unknown little director in front of him.
Mccann...... Well, it is indeed an unknown little director, according to the introduction of the secretary a few days ago, the other party seems to be working in Aaron Go's film and television company.
Although his current title is director, he is actually a handyman, just like now, he is sent directly to a manga publishing company to select valuable adaptations.
To be honest, this kind of work doesn't make any sense at all.
The copyright of a truly excellent work needs to be negotiated and negotiated by the company's senior management and the senior management of the publishing company, and it is actually meaningless to go directly to the office of the publishing company and pick and choose like buying groceries.
The film and television company is just doing this to make a statement, so that the publishing company can see the seriousness of its side, nothing more.
Therefore, the publishing company naturally does not pay much attention to it.
Even in the trench house, Aaron Brother Film and Television Company is a first-class large company, but in the face of an unknown director like McCann, there is really no need to be too polite.
Sure enough, after reading the copyright form for a while, McCann looked up in disappointment, and found no work that satisfied him.
Looks like he's going to get up and take his leave!
The vice president of the publishing company curled the corners of his mouth slightly, and was about to send off the guests.
The next second, McCann got up and put the form back on the table, ready to leave.
However, perhaps too disappointed, McCann's hand accidentally touched several other papers on his desk as he put the form back.
Boom la la la...... Several documents fell to the ground.
McCann hurriedly bent down and picked up the scattered papers.
"Sorry ......"
As he was talking, McCann suddenly saw a thick picture book lying on the ground under the desk, which seemed to be covered with a lot of dust.
After a moment's hesitation, McCann picked up the album as well.
The vice president of the publishing company looked at all this coldly, and simply said that it didn't matter.
McCann was about to put the album back on the table, but his gaze swept to the cover of the album.
He was immediately attracted by the graphic on the cover.
I saw that it was a huge ancient tree like a weeping willow, but the branches of the ancient tree emitted a holy white light, which looked very fantastic.
"Uh...... This album is ......," McCann finally asked.
The vice president of the publishing company glanced at the cover of the album and tried to recall it for a long time before finally remembering it.
"Oh, it was a work submitted by one of our authors, but it didn't pass the preliminary review, and it was a messy setting, but there was no attractive story, and it didn't have much value. ”
McCann blinked, and then glanced at the cover of the book.
"So, can I take a look at this album?"
Although the vice president of the publishing company was a little reluctant, he did not object, and finally pointed to the conference room outside.
"Please. ”
McCann was overjoyed, and he took the album to a small spare conference room next to it.
……
When he opened the book, McCann was immediately confronted with several more fantastical drawings.
At the same time, there are also a lot of text descriptions next to it.
McCann couldn't help frowning after reading it.
Truly...... Some of these descriptions were too boring, and if it weren't for the wonderful pictures that interested him, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to keep reading.
Soon, however, as the stunning images from the album unfolded before his eyes, McCann suddenly felt like he had opened the door to a new world.
Even the boring words have become alive.
Magical alien plants, alien animals, and those blue-skinned aliens, mysterious primitive tribal races, and amazing sacred tree settings......
All kinds of fragmented information slowly build a fantasy alien world.
Although the storyline in the album is not very rich and not very attractive, with such a grand worldview structure alone, this work is actually very good.
However, McCann also knew that the reason why the album did not pass the preliminary review of the publishing company was because it did have some flaws at the story level, which greatly limited the commercial value of the work.
But it's not the same for McCann, who is a director...... Although it is still unknown for the time being, it is very sensitive to graphic things, such a complete and magnificent fantasy world, if he can be filmed and developed, he will definitely be able to create a miracle!
So, at this moment, McCann's heart was moved.
If...... If the publishing company is not optimistic about this work, then why not buy it yourself?
After all, the fantasy paintings in this work are already very valuable!
Thinking of this, McCann got up and left the small conference room, ready to talk to the vice president of the publishing company again.
However, when he walked out, he found that before he knew it, he had spent the afternoon in the small conference room, and at this moment, most of the people in the publishing company had already left work, and only a few ordinary employees were left working overtime.
Forehead...... Perhaps the contents of the album were so appealing that McCann didn't even notice the passage of time.
Reluctantly leaving the publishing company, McCann can only come back tomorrow to talk to someone about the album in detail.
……
After many twists and turns, when McCann finally found the contact information of Caron, the author of the book, through the people at the publishing company, and finally contacted the other party, it was already four days later.
And when McCann was very excited to say that he liked Cuarón's album very much, and was ready to pay for the copyright of the work, there was a strange sigh from Cuarón's side.
"You said you were going to buy the rights to my new work?"
"Yes, I like it very much, I am very optimistic about your work, I think your album is very good, very valuable, I am willing to pay 100,000 US dollars to buy out the full copyright of your work...... Well, even if your work hasn't been published yet!"
100,000 dollars!
This price is already sky-high for a work that has not been published and has no fame.
If McCann hadn't really liked the work, he wouldn't have paid for it himself!
Yes, it was McCann's own idea to pay for Caron's work.
$100,000, out of his own pocket.
Because of such a work that has not been published, has no fame, and has no traffic, no matter what film and television company it is, it will not be bought at such a high price, after all, everyone is not stupid.
Only people like McCann who are really interested in the content of this work will be willing to pay for it.
After all, although McCann is really just a little-known little director who is responsible for miscellaneous work at Aarongo Film and Television......
But he has money in his family!
