Carl is very understanding of Andy's arrangement, to be honest, he is not a child, what kind of emotions does it take to be divided into powers, Andy was able to kick him away without kicking him away when he was most unlucky, he is already very grateful, and he has been proud for a long time for choosing to stick to Andy during his quiet period. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

However, there is still a sense of loss in his heart, not because of the shrinking of his power, but because of Andy's growth speed, the current Andy is no longer the childish child he was a few months ago, he is still wise, but he has become mature, and the city government has become deeper unconsciously, and he has divided the power in his hands between laughter and scolding, and he has no way to make emotions, after all, Andy also let him replace him on the board of directors of Summit Entertainment.

This is undoubtedly an improvement of Carl's identity, whether Hollywood's power comes from the amount of resources in his hands, or is that sentence, opportunity is the gold here!

Looking at Andy, who put his feet on the desk, dangled his legs, and was lazily lying on the boss's chair drinking coffee, Carl was like in a dream, and the teenager with a thin body, sunken eye sockets, depressed mood, and crying to himself in his mind had gradually drifted away.

"Carl, what are you thinking?" Andy asked lightly with the corners of his mouth upturned, a smile on his face, and bright eyes looking at Carl, who was a little distracted.

"Hmm? No... Didn't think about anything, just remembered some things from before, Andy, you've grown up and matured. Karl didn't hide his feelings.

"Hehe, you dead fat man just found out! People, you always have to learn to grow up, this is a good thing. What do you say?" Andy said with a smirk.

"Can you respect me a little! I'm the manager of the company, you're dead fat all day long, and the name of a dead fat man will affect my prestige! You freak little bean ding!" the corners of Carl's eyes twitched a few times, but he remembered that when he first met Andy, he called himself fat, and he gave him the nickname, and he shot back.

The corners of Andy's mouth twitched, and he snorted arrogantly, Andy couldn't find the stalk Carl said, so he couldn't find it in his memory, so he could only pretend to be angry and perfunctory.

Carl saw Andy's angry expression, and the atmosphere was a little embarrassed, so he could only laugh and cough lightly, change the topic, and said with a shy face: "Some time ago, I intercepted a project of Twentieth Century Fox, you don't know, they were so angry that they almost went crazy on the spot." ”

Andy looked at the fat man who was getting nervous, but he was aroused, "Let's hear it." ”

"Hehe, didn't you call part of the money for your music records some time ago, plus the copyright fee for the novel that Xuele called, the company's funds at that time already had more than 8 million, I originally wanted to acquire the copyright of some old movies, but after you serialized the novel in the "Observer" newspaper, Xuele Publishing House was a little worried that the cooperation between us and them would be interrupted, and ran here three times and twice to contact feelings.

In a chat, I learned that there was a writer named Ray Clairton who wrote a series of teen fantasy novels in 1995, and was recently lobbied by Scholastic Publishing House to successfully arrange for publication, at first I didn't pay much attention to it, until I heard that Fox was contacting the writer and wanted to buy the film rights of the novel, so I asked Scholastic to take a copy of the printed book, and after reading it, I decided to buy the movie rights, hehe, Fox only wanted to buy the copyright for 5 million, and the most important thing was that they didn't agree with Ray Clairton to write the script himself。

At that time, Recleleton happened to be in Los Angeles, so I immediately contacted him through Scholastic and bought him with 5.5 million plus the condition that he could participate in the writing of the script, hehe, when the Fox group found out, they jumped to their feet and scolded me in front of Rekleleton, it was really uneducated, it was too embarrassing!"

Andy listened to Carl's story, and always felt that this Ray Claireton was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember more detailed information, so he frowned slightly and asked, "What kind of book is it?"

"Percy Jackson and the Thief of Fire。。。。。 A series, but there are only 3 copies at the moment. ”

Andy Shu stretched his brows and smiled slightly, it turned out to be this series, well, it's not bad, it can make a fortune, after all, when the movie came out, the publicity was also overwhelming, the first box office was not bad, and the second part was filmed, and then, there was no then, a money-burning special effects blockbuster.

"Hehe, just listen to the name, you know, the story of modern people and Greek mythology intertwined, damn, it won't be to write about the journey of the children who slaughtered the gods after the undisciplined Greek gods and mortals messed around... It's a theme that the film company likes, commercial special effects, yes, you have the courage to die fat!" Andy pretended to comment.

"Awesome! You can guess the main line of the story just by listening to the name, or Andy, you are amazing, you are really a genius!" Carl listened to Andy's analysis, his expression was very shocked, he really admired Andy's genius from the bottom of his heart, I haven't read the book, I can analyze the main line of the story just by listening to the name, this Nima is too awesome.

"It's not a bold thing, it's mainly because of your role model, I didn't understand the high price of buying the copyright of "Twilight" at the time, but who would have thought that as soon as I turned around, I immediately increased the value by 50%, thinking about what you said, Hollywood will become more and more sought after for some excellent IPs in the future, I naturally won't let go of this opportunity, it's not, Twentieth Century Fox has contacted me, and I want to talk to me, hehe, what do you think?"

The corners of Andy's mouth turned up, his nose let out an undetectable snort, smiled mysteriously, and said: "Hehe, talk, what is there to say about this, we are not a film company, and we bought the copyright just to change hands, you can talk to them well, the money transferred can not be too high, 78 million is fine, and then... If you want the box office share of the first part, I think their Fox family should eventually agree, anyway, the movie copyright has 50 years, don't worry!"

"Hehe, I know what to do! By the way, you happen to be here, I recently read a book, and I feel that the story is okay, but I inquired about the sales, well, it's kind of a street, you see, is there a need to buy it?" Carl Yin smiled cheaply, but suddenly thought of something, and as he spoke, he stood up and walked to his desk, and took out a book from his briefcase.

Andy took the book handed over by Carl, looked at the bloody cover with "World War Z" written on it, couldn't help but look up at the dead fat man standing aside with a wry smile, and scolded with a smile: "You said this book hit the street?"

"Yes, is there any problem? It's been two weeks since it was launched, and only 100,000 copies have been bought in the United States, and it's not on the streets?" Karl asked with an innocent face.

"No... Andy looked at Carl in surprise, confirmed that he wasn't joking, and quickly flipped through it, that's right, it's the same as the original story, after being bought by the scumbag Pete at a high price in his previous life, the movie co-produced with Paramount was a big hit at the box office, I remember it should be a bestseller, how could it hit the street.

"Are you sure this book only sold 100,000 copies?" asked Andy, tilting his head back at Carl and frowning.

"Sure, I'm pretty sure, I'm more interested in zombie-themed stories, so after reading it, I wondered if such a good story shouldn't be so miserable. ”

Andy closed the book, his fingers tapped on the writing, his brows furrowed, thinking, no matter what the reason, this is an excellent novel, the copyright that Pitt got in 10 years in his previous life, it seemed that it cost almost 10 million at that time, and there were many restrictions on the adaptation of the movie script, and he looked at the author's name again, yes, it was Max Brooks.

As for why the sales are so poor, Andy really can't figure it out, since there is no answer, he doesn't want to, stretches his brows, takes his feet off the table, sits up straight, and says to Carl seriously: "Buy its copyright! As soon as possible, maybe this kind of street fighting situation is only short-lived, this is a good book, and we can spend a lot less money to buy it now!"

"Okay! I've already called the author's number, I'll contact him in a moment, there should be no problem, but how much is the right amount to pay?" Carl saw that Andy attached great importance to this novel, and he was still very excited, which is also a reflection of his work ability, he likes his current job very much, and the salary is also very high, he knows that all this is given to him by Andy, but it is more because of the emotional bond between him and Andy, Andy will choose to use him, Carl hopes that it is because of his work ability that Andy appreciates him and trusts him.

"Hmm。。。。。。 500,000?" Andy frowned slightly, held it for more than ten seconds, and finally said with a smile.

The corners of Carl's mouth twitched, his head was full of black lines, he looked at the sneering Andy with contempt, and whispered, "You are much more ruthless than me... ”

Andy listened to Carl's ridicule, smiled awkwardly and covered it up: "Why don't you contact the author first, listen to what price he pays, and buy it if it's suitable, I hope he won't open his mouth, it's all on the street, I should be very happy that someone can buy his movie rights, hehe... ”

Carl looked at Andy who was talking to himself with disgust, he was really better than himself, he shook his fat head slightly, and he couldn't complain.

"You... What kind of expression do you have!Aren't I all for our company, if you can spend less, you have to spend less!" Andy forcibly explained, refusing to admit his own business.

"Boss, people are the ones who sell this book and hit the streets, he is not a rookie writer, people know about the market, 500,000? hehe, do you think it's possible?" Carl looked at Andy with a look of disdain and teased.

"You're going to ask me what I'm going to pay! You fat man, don't look at me like that! Damn, okay, you have to take the rights to this novel, but don't be too eager, let him open his mouth... ”

Before Andy finished speaking, Karl squinted at him, as if to say, are you teaching me how to negotiate?

Andy rolled his eyes, put his feet back on the table, and leaned back in the boss's chair, looking at the ceiling, grunting angrily.
