Regarding Monroe's project, Don approved. Not now, when there is a chance in the future, you can prepare for filming.

Manola Dagis is excited, she feels like she has met a like-minded boss, "There is also a novel called "The Soul Shifter", written by Suzanne Kayson, which is her autobiography, and it is very valuable for adaptation. ”

Andrew O'Hare nodded: "This is a female theme, if there are female stars with strong appeal to join, there should be a profit at the box office." ”

The two analysts reached an agreement for the first time, and Tang En suddenly smiled, "That's good, we want the copyright of this novel!"

Manola Dagis was happy, "Next up are the works of two famous authors, Anne Rupp and Stephen King. ”

Don En Khanran, I haven't heard of a single one!

"Anne Rupp's novel "True Love", which won the National Book Award in '93 and the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in '94, is very valuable for adaptation......"

Before he finished speaking, Tang En frowned and interrupted: "For such a famous novel, the copyright has already been bought, right?"

Manola Dagis smirked, "That's true, Columbia Pictures bought the rights to the film two years ago, but I'm talking about her other work, a short story in this year's New York Times, which is said to be published in a collection next year." ”

"Oh?"

Don was a little surprised, and it was in the New York Times, which must be an unusual novel, who is this Anne Rupp?

"The name of this novel is 'Brokeback Mountain.' ”

"Poof!"

Donn, who was drinking coffee, squirted out in one gulp!

"Boss!"

Andrew and Manola shouted in unison, "Boss, are you alright?"

Don took the tissue and wiped his pants, slightly embarrassed, and a little funny, "It's okay, I accidentally choked on it." Not...... I think that a famous writer like Anne Rupp, her works must not be bad, so we must get the copyright of "Brokeback Mountain"!"

Manora Dagis smiled: "With your words boss, I am relieved." And then there's the work of Stephen King, who wrote a book last year called "The Miracle of the Green Mile", which is very flavorful. ”

Andrew O'Hare pouted: "Stephen's work, since "The Shawshank Redemption" made a joke, I don't think of him anymore. ”

Don En smiled and said, "Andrew, market analysis can't rely on intuition. ”

Andrew O'Hare smiled awkwardly.

Manora Daggis glanced at Andrew O'Hare proudly, and suddenly thought of something, "By the way, Stephen King also has a fantasy work, which is particularly classic, called "The Dark Tower"!

Don naturally doesn't believe it, she is engaged in art research, and she can also analyze the market?

Andrew O'Haire's face became serious, "The novel "The Dark Tower" is now serialized in a total of 4 parts, I have read them all, it is very exciting. But...... If it is to be made into a movie, I am afraid it will not work. ”

"Why?" Manola's eyes widened.

Andrew said slowly: "There is a big problem with the style of this novel, and commercial blockbusters must conform to mainstream values. The cult style of "The Dark Tower" has a small audience, and the use of various anti-logic is estimated to be incomprehensible to a large number of people when it is made into a movie. Commercial Films...... Brainless entertainment is best. ”

Don En blinked and thought of something, "Is it okay to make it into a TV series?"

The scale of American dramas is so large that it shocks the attention of the world, and a little cult style will add to its popularity.

"Should...... It should work. Andrew didn't react for a while, "Boss, you're going to make a TV series? Aren't we a film company?"

Tang En smiled: "Let's take down the copyright first, the company always has to develop." ”

Manora Daggis said meaningfully: "Boss, Stephen King is the most famous popular fiction writer in the United States, and his copyright fee is not low. ”

"Uh......"

Don was momentarily speechless.

After investing in stocks and movies, Don only had $5 million left to spare, and he had to maintain the normal operation of the company, and he really couldn't afford to pay for the copyright of millions of novels.

"Up to $4 million, that's the maximum amount I can pay right now. Don thought for a moment and said a number, "As for which copyright to buy first and which copyright to postpone the purchase, you can do it, Manola, you and George will do it together." ”

"$4 million?" Manora Dagis was delighted that such a large check could be obtained in addition to Stephen King's novel.

"Anything else?" asked Donne, who was thrilled by the fact that Manola had almost "bankrupted his family" with so many well-known names.

Sure enough, it is a god whose "literary aesthetics" has reached 98, and this vision is accurate!

Although not all of these movies won the Oscar, they are all classic films recorded in film history.

Don suddenly found himself about to be developed, with Manola Daggis and the upcoming art analysis department, I am afraid that half of the Oscars in the future will belong to Donn Pictures.

I just don't know what kind of surprises and benefits Andrew O'Hare and the future market analysis department will bring him.

"There's the last book, which was written by a good friend of mine, and has been negotiated with the publisher to be published in April next year. Manora Daggis looked a little nervous, for fear that Donn would misunderstand that she was doing a favor to her friend.

Don smiled, "It's okay, Manola, you name it." ”

"Her name was Sylvia Nashar, and she was a classmate of mine who was studying avant-garde literature, and she was commissioned by Mr. John Nash to write a biography of him. ”

Manola's words made Donn's mind pop up with a name, and he felt a little short of breath, "John Nash?

Manola Daggis's eyes lit up, "Boss, you know him? Yes, he is very famous, he won the Nobel Prize three years ago, and it was at that time that Sylvia Nazar began to prepare to write his biography." ”

Don took a deep breath, "What's the name of the book?"

"A Beautiful Mind. ”

"Sure enough!"

Don secretly clenched his fist.

Andrew O'Hare saw that Manola Daggis was deeply valued by the boss, and he was unwilling, and suddenly said: "Boss, in this case, I also have two novels to recommend!"

"Oh, yes!"

Don En's heart was as happy as if it were blooming.

Talents, all talents!

"The Chronicles of Narnia, written by the British writer Lewis, has been called the greatest fantasy work since The Lord of the Rings. "Andrew O'Hare hadn't prepared anything before, because he was too familiar, and he just opened his mouth.

Don raised his eyebrows, he had heard of this masterpiece when he first bought the rights to "Harry Potter", "just...... Is the copyright still there for such a famous work?"

Andrew O'Hare hesitated: "This work is far more fantastical than "The Lord of the Rings", so it is difficult to shoot, and the special effects technology is in great demand, and no film company should dare to touch it." However, with the rapid development of special effects technology, I think within ten years, this novel will definitely have a chance to be brought to the big screen. ”

Don frowned slightly.

In his previous life, he had seen a movie adapted from this novel, and the first one was successful, and the last two were ...... Lost a lot!

Is it necessary to buy the copyright?

Seeing Andrew O'Haire's hopeful look, Don didn't want to discourage his motivation too much, so he smiled and said, "Okay, then you can deal with it, what about another work?"

Because of the experience of his previous life, Don has already thought that even if he buys the movie rights of "The Chronicles of Narnia", he will only make one and will never open a sequel!

"The other work is not very famous, it was just published last year, and it didn't make the best-seller list, so I noticed it because I like fantasy novels. ”

"What book?"

"A Song of Ice and Fire. ”

"Poof!"

Don took another sip of coffee.

Damn!

Baiyun Canggou, I have it in the world!
