Chapter 1149 Copyright
After all, it was the heroine, and Lily Collins was also assigned a break room.
It's okay in front of the outside, and Lily can still hold on.
But when I arrived at the lounge, the whole person seemed to be paralyzed, and he leaned directly on the seat, crookedly without sitting at all.
"Donn, tell them to get me a better lounge, this broken chair is too hard, ass!" Lily Collins grimaced, coquettish.
Don En cried and laughed: "It's almost okay, you look at the other people Talissa, train with you, they are much stronger than you." ”
Lily Collins complained about kicking her legs, "I'm never going to make action movies again, I'm going to fall apart." Hey, that's right!" As if she had suddenly discovered something, she picked up a bestseller with a red and green cover from the dresser in front of her, and said excitedly, "I'm going to shoot this!"
As you can see from the packaging of the book, this is a youth book, a popcorn book for teenagers.
Don was not interested at all, "Making your movie honestly gives you the opportunity to be a star, you can't grasp it." ”
"No, it's really good, it's better than Harry Potter!" Lily Collins strongly recommends.
Don said: "Harry Potter is a children's book!"
"Look at it, it's really good. The New York Times is strongly recommending it, it is the best new work that has appeared this year, and it ranks higher than "Harry Potter"!"
"Oh?"
Don En's face straightened, and then he took the book.
Authoritative newspapers like the New York Times are on the platform, and it seems that it is indeed a great book.
When I took it and looked at it, I couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
The name on the cover is "Twilight"!
Lily Collins also didn't care about the backache and leg pain, and said with her eyebrows: "This book is good, it tells a love story of a vampire, which is touching." I love Isabella so much, if it can be made into a movie...... I'm the heroine!"
Tang En said angrily: "Heroine, it's easy to say! Hurry up and train hard, and practice the action scenes well, which will help you in your future acting career." ”
After all, but looking at the book in my hand, I was still moved.
It's a post-Harry Potter magical masterpiece!
The poignant love story of the love between man and ghost is really sadistic, tragic and touching.
Don didn't hesitate, and immediately called his assistant: "Tosca, there is a bestseller on the market, called "Twilight", which is very good. You get in touch, let Rose Pictures take care of it, sign the copyright, and then develop the project within 3-5 years. ”
Tosca Musk did not hesitate: "Okay, I'll do it right away." ”
When it comes to films, no one is in a position to question Done's decision.
Just do it.
Lily Collins was a little dumbfounded at first, and then her heart was as sweet as honey, and she suddenly threw herself into Tang En's arms, and said inexplicably: "Don En, you are so good to me!"
She had seen all of Donn's movements.
Don obviously hadn't read "The Twilight Szen" and hadn't even flipped through it.
The result?
I casually said a few fantasies, saying that I liked this love story and wanted to play the heroine Isabella, and then ...... Don called his assistant directly and wanted to buy the copyright!
Is there anything more touching than that?
She didn't know that Don would sign the rights to "Twilight", the fundamental reason was to make money.
And it's a lot of money!
Don touched his nose, "Moved?"
"Well, I'm impressed. ”
"Why don't you be my little wife and be with Taylor. ”
"Huh?"
Lily Collins broke free from Donne's arms at once, her face turned crimson, and she snorted softly, "Don't try to kidnap underage girls!
……
"Boss, someone got ahead of us and contacted the author of The Twilight Zone. The author is a housewife who has never seen much of the world. In the afternoon, Don returned to the company, and Tosca Musk stepped forward to report.
"Oh, who?"
"It's pinnacle entertainment. ”
The current Summit Entertainment is not the famous independent production company that later came on.
The reason why Summit Entertainment became famous is because of the successful development of the "Twilight" series, which made more than a billion dollars and became famous all over the world.
"Just grab it. Donn said nonchalantly, "I believe that the author lady is a smart person who can make the right choice between New Universal and Summit Entertainment." ”
"The problem is that the deposit has already been paid. ”
"How much?"
"$300,000. ”
"What about the breach of contract?"
"3 times the compensation. ”
Don scoffed, "Get it! I just want to get the rights to Twilight! Remember, it's 100%!"
Tosca Musk nodded, "Okay." ”
"By the way, what the hell is going on over there with A Song of Ice and Fire? That old guy still doesn't agree to the license?" Donn has been following the book for years.
As a result, Martin Sr. refused to transfer the copyright easily.
In his early years, he worked in Hollywood as a screenwriter.
Because I was heartbroken by Hollywood, I changed my career to become a writer to write.
Tosca Musk said: "His writing speed is relatively slow, I think he wants to wait a few years and have a few more physical books before making film and television works." ”
"This old stubborn!" Donn waved his hand and said very angrily, "Always keep an eye on it, as long as he agrees, sign it for me!" I didn't grab "The Lord of the Rings", "The Chronicles of Narnia", "Harry Potter", "Twilight" and "Game of Thrones", the four major magical classics, all of them must be mine! All of them are mine!"
Tosca Musk didn't know what this boss was crazy about, so he suddenly thought of something and said: "By the way, the film and television department has sent a report, saying that New Line Pictures intends to restart the "Lord of the Rings" series, and has contacted Peter Jackson, as if to let him out again. ”
"Reboot The Lord of the Rings?" The Hobbit?"
"Yes, it's The Hobbit. ”
"Why didn't you report to me?"
Tosca Musk said lightly: "It's a trivial matter, Bill doesn't agree, and I'm not optimistic about it, so I just refused." ”
Don said: "Of course, we must refuse, categorically refuse! Isn't Warner friendly and helpful with Paramount and Columbia Pictures in some kind of film distribution?
Tosca Musk pursed his lips and smiled: "I knew it!"
Don said coldly: "It's not just suppressed, the movie version of "The Hobbit...... Hmph! It will never be published!"
The copyright of The Hobbit is very complicated.
The production rights of the film are in the hands of producer Sal Zainz, who works with New Line Pictures.
The distribution rights of the film are owned by MGM and are now owned by New Universal.
New Universal doesn't release it, even if New Line Pictures makes "The Hobbit", it's useless!
Can't be released!
In other words, if Donn doesn't nod, Warner and New Line Pictures can only stare dryly and be anxious.
At the same time, Donn bought the TV rights to "The Hobbit" early.
That's where it comes in.
Starz is determined to shoot classic American dramas.
The current staples are "The Walking Dead" and "Warcraft", followed by "Roma", "Six Feet Under" and "Vice President".
In the long run, "Game of Thrones" will definitely belong to Starz.
The Hobbit should also be included!
New Universal and New Line Pictures collaborated on "The Hobbit", how much money can New Universal make?
The weight of the distribution right is equivalent to 25% of the production copyright.
In other words, for the development of the "Hobbit" film series, New Globe can only earn 25% of the revenue of this series, and the rest of the profits are earned by Warner.
This kind of "loss-making" trade Don will definitely not do it.
It's better to break the jar and give up the movie and develop the TV series version of "The Hobbit" instead!
Borrow the channel of Starz to firmly grasp all the benefits!
The TV series has been developed, and the income is no worse than the movie!
It is even possible to extend the story beyond the "Hobbit" series, there are still many unpublished manuscripts on the Tolkien Heritage Foundation, some of which have been signed by Towne Pictures, and some of which have priority licenses.
Collaborate more and more comprehensively.
