Chapter 472: Pulling people on board

After getting off the elevator, Maha Darkhill accompanied Anne Hathaway to the hotel lobby and saw Robert Lee waving in the lounge.

"Why is he here?" asked Anne Hathaway curiously.

Maha Dakshir said: "You go to the event first, I have something to do with Robert, and I'll go to you after I'm done." ”

Anne Hathaway, knowing that Robert Lee was one of Ronan's most capable aides, didn't ask too much and took the assistant out of the hotel.

Maha Darkhill came to the resting place, pulled out a chair and sat across from Robert Lee.

Robert Lee looked at his watch and asked, "Maha, hasn't she arrived yet?"

"It's almost there. Maha Darkhill said: "I just contacted Lauren before I went downstairs and there was a slight traffic jam on the road. ”

She couldn't help but be curious and asked, "What are you looking for Lauren?"

Robert Lee smiled: "There's a bit of a film business I want to talk to her." ”

Hearing this vague answer, Maha Dakshir did not ask any more questions.

The two waited for a few minutes, and a blonde woman walked over, and Maha Dakshir hurriedly stood up and greeted: "Lauren, this way." ”

Robert Lee looked over there, and the blonde woman looked to be around twenty-five years old, just wearing a simple black t-shirt and dark jeans, but giving her a fashionista look.

Maha Darkhill introduced Robert Lee at this time: "Robert, this is Miss Lauren Weisberg. ”

Despite having heard some of the circumstances of the meeting from Maha Darkhill before, Lauren Wiesberg was a little curious.

Maha Darkhill added: "Lauren, this is Robert Lee, he is from Hollywood's Relativity Entertainment Group, and Anne's new film "Summer of Jeans" was shot and produced by this company. ”

Robert Lee took the initiative to shake her hand: "Hello. ”

Lauren Weisberg responded politely: "Hello. ”

Maha Darkhill interjected, "Lauren, Robert wants to talk to you about some film business, Anne is still waiting for me, I'll treat you to coffee another day." ”

She said another word to Robert Lee, and then took her leave.

Robert Lee invited Lauren Weisberg to sit down, and Lauren Weisberg asked directly, "You want to talk to me about the film business?"

"Yes. Robert Lee smiled, "I heard that Miss Weisberg is a literature major?"

Lauren Weisberg nodded, unable to help the curiosity in her heart: "Do you want to find me to be a screenwriter?"

She couldn't think of anything else.

Robert Lee didn't want to go around in circles either, and said, "Some time ago, Ronan Anderson, a producer in our company, heard Maha talk about an incident where Miss Weisberger worked with Ms. Anna Wintour for a while and quit because of a disagreement?"

Lauren Weisberg didn't know who Ronan Anderson was, but said, "I left last month. ”

Robert Lee suddenly said, "It's a very rare experience to be able to work next to Ms. Anna Wintour, and you haven't thought of commemorating it in a special way?"

"Special?commemoration?" Lauren Wiesberg said, as if thinking of something terrible, "it was a nightmare, and I think it was God's mercy to leave Anna Wintour alive......"

As if realizing that it wasn't good to say this in front of outsiders, Lauren Weisberg swallowed the remaining half of the words back into her stomach.

Robert Lee had learned a few things before he came, and he was not surprised by Lauren Weisberg's attitude, and said with a smile: "It seems that it was not a pleasant experience. ”

Lauren Weisberg couldn't help but say, "I don't want to go through it a second time, and I don't want to think about it again." ”

Robert Lee frowned slightly, then stretched out again, and said, "You have been wronged by Ms. Wintour's side, don't you want to find a channel to vent?"

Lauren Weisberg, a working woman who is not stupid, looked at Robert Lee and asked, "What are you going to work with me?"

"I want to work with you on a movie. Robert Lee simply singled out: "We wanted to adapt your experience working next to Ms. Anna Wintour into a film." ”

Lauren Weisberg couldn't believe it: "What? film adaptation?"

Although she has been in the fashion industry for more than a year, she has not had in-depth contact with Hollywood, and she is not aware of the potential market value of her experience.

Robert Lee said: "Relativity Entertainment intends to adapt this particular experience of yours into a film based on you as the heroine, and you yourself can also be involved in writing and consulting work. ”

Hearing this, Lauren Weisberg's first reaction was, "You need my authorization?"

"Yes. Robert Lee smiled and said, "We'll pay you a royalty." ”

He added another heavyweight condition: "While adapting the movie, you can also write this special experience as a semi-autobiographical title, and Relativity Entertainment has a long-term relationship with Random House, and it is not difficult to publish it." ”

Lauren Weisberg studied literature, and who doesn't have a dream of publishing a book? When he heard that a book could be published, his heart immediately pounded, as if a small drum was beating and beating.

Robert Lee had done some prep work before he arrived, and he knew how to get Lauren Weisberg on board.

Some literary youth, especially those on the East Coast, may be scornful of the commercialization of Hollywood films, but they dream of publishing a book.

Lauren Weisberg is very young, but after all, she has worked as an assistant with someone like Anna Wintour, and has also experienced workplace training, and she quickly suppressed the excitement in her heart.

"You're not kidding?" asked Lauren Weisberg, confused.

Robert Lee appeared particularly sincere: "As long as you agree, we can negotiate tomorrow and sign a legally binding cooperation contract." ”

Lauren Weisberg quickly thought about it, this person is from CAA's Maha Darkhill introduction, it should be from Hollywood, and Relativity Entertainment is very famous, it is not difficult to judge whether it is true or false after a little inquiry.

Adapted from a movie and published a book......

I originally wanted to be a writer, but then I realized that this path would not be easy, so I lowered my goal and changed my dream job to a literary editor, and I ended up being Anna Wintour's assistant by mistake.

It was an opportunity to realize the original dream.

But Lauren Weisberg still had some doubts, and said: "Anna Wintour is my former boss, or even the boss, I left the company to write a book about my former boss, and it may also involve some privacy, how to find a job in the future, and will anyone dare to hire me?"

The subtext of these words is obvious, Relativity Entertainment is responsible not only for the next collaboration, but also for her future.

Robert Lee couldn't help laughing, the working women who have been honed out really have their own little cleverness, and they are also more pragmatic, understanding the simple truth that people only have dreams and can't even afford salted fish.

Indeed, this kind of writing to the boss is a taboo in the workplace.

Robert Lee, who is very experienced, and when he heard this, he had a corresponding countermeasure, and said, "Miss Weisberg, with all due respect, none of this is a problem at all. If it's published and the film is successful, do you still have to think about working for somebody? You can be a full-time writer and be your own boss and stop thinking about working for somebody else. ”

Full-time writer?Lauren Weisberg suddenly had a sudden feeling that his vision and thinking were indeed too narrow, and if the film adaptation was really successful, he still needed to work for someone else?

She thought of a person, Erin Brockwich, a very ordinary woman who was adapted into a movie because of a certain experience, not only became famous in one fell swoop, but also founded her own business, becoming one of the most famous environmental fighters in the United States, and stepping into the class of millions of dollars a year.

Robert Lee added: "And your autobiography, you can use your real name and other things in other companies, which can also achieve the effect and avoid some trouble." ”

Lauren Weisberger nodded unconsciously, as if it was really feasible.

"The movies under Relativity Entertainment have an extremely high success rate. Robert Lee said in due course: "In recent years, almost all the films produced and distributed by Relativity have been successful. Miss Wiesberg, such a low-risk, high-return opportunity, it is difficult to find the next one if you miss it. ”

Having said this, Lauren Wiesberg no longer concealed it, took a deep breath, calmed down some excitement, and said: "Mr. Li, the bright future you depicted is indeed very touching and difficult to refuse. ”

Robert Lee said with a smile: "We at Relativity Entertainment have always been about win-win. ”

Lauren Weisberg nodded and said, "Mr. Lee, please allow me to think about it for a few days." ”

This is not a trivial matter, she needs to find out, at least understand the reputation and credibility of Relativity Entertainment, find a suitable negotiation agent, and so on.

"Yes. Robert Lee looked calm, took out his business card and handed it to Lauren Weisberg: "You think about it, you can contact me at any time, and I will stay in New York for five days." ”

Lauren Weisberg put away her business card and said, "I'll get back to you in five days." ”

Thanks to her experience as Anna Wintour, she was able to find a few people who knew a little bit about Hollywood.

The two shook hands and said goodbye, and Robert Lee kept sending Lauren Weisberg out of the hotel gate, watching Lauren Weisberg get into a taxi and leave, he was very sure that Lauren Weisberg would definitely get on the ship of Relativity Entertainment.

According to whom, what medicine, this is his tried and tested means of negotiating copyright, Lauren Weisberg is a realist female literary youth, and the bright future after publishing the book is undoubtedly the most attractive.

For negotiations, I am not afraid that you will ask for more, and the most afraid is that there will be no requirements.
