In a French restaurant in Manhattan, New York.

"Tonight, my dear, Wendy invites us to attend the New York premiere of a movie. ”

Ivana halved the steak on the plate, inserted half of the beef into Andy's plate with a fork, and said.

Andy stuffed a piece of beef into his mouth, chewed and frowned and asked, "What movie?"

"HK's Karai ong's "Blueberry Night", the movie starring Norah Jones, Jude Law, Natalie and Rachel Weisz, it seems that ziyizhang will be present with vivi, and Wendy will also go, and I called to invite the two of us before. Ivana had heard Wendy introduce the situation before, and relayed it to Andy.

Andy just wanted to refuse, but when he saw Ivana's expectant gaze with a pair of big eyes blinking on the other side, he couldn't help but smile, "You decide." ”

"Then go check it out, I haven't seen Wendy in a long time, thank you, dear. A happy sweet smile immediately appeared on Ivana's face, reached out and grabbed Andy's hand, and said softly.

"It's good if you're happy... Before Andy finished speaking, the mobile phone on the side of the table vibrated and frowned slightly, put down the knife and fork, picked up the napkin and wiped the corner of his lower lip, took the mobile phone, and looked at it, it was the little assistant's.

Say. ”

"Sorry, boss, I disturbed your meal, it was the phone number of Mr. Brad Gray, the CEO of Paramount, he didn't know your personal phone, so he knocked down the work phone and said that there was something very important... ”

"Ignore him, I'll talk about it in the afternoon, it's something very important? That's not important to him, I'm afraid it doesn't matter to me at all, okay, that's all. With that, Andy hung up the phone, a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and continued to eat.

Ivana also shook her head and smiled, and she didn't have the slightest way to deal with her boyfriend's sometimes Ren Xing, "Go home early in the afternoon and get ready, this premiere is still very lively, and the main creator will attend." ”

Andy said noncommittally while eating: "It doesn't matter, I'll just have a suit, as long as you're beautiful, Wendy should have invited you on his own initiative, let's attend, hehe, that's going to steal the limelight of the movie." ”

"Giggles. Ivana chuckled, "Wendi and International Zhang will jointly open a film company, Wendi also hopes to show more resources, I heard that there will be a lot of Celestial Empire media present." ”

"Ha~" Andy sneered, "Joint venture to open a film company? That depends on whether the international chapter and vivi can last long, Wendy Murdoch... ”

Saying that, Andy shook his head with some deep meaning, Ivana was slightly stunned when she heard Andy's words, and after immediately figuring it out, she also shook her head noncommittally, and said with a smile: "The relationship between the international chapter and Warner Pictures major shareholder Vivi was pulled by Wendy, and the two met on her yacht and fell in love... ”

"Huh. Andy's eyes flashed with a flash of brilliance, and he looked at Ivana with a strange gaze and complained: "This woman really likes to connect people." ”

Ivana raised her eyebrows, not noticing her boyfriend's strange eyes, "She just likes to run her circle in this way... ”

"Hmm. Andy just snorted lightly and didn't continue to discuss the topic, for Wendy this woman, he really didn't have a good impression, the purpose was too obvious, and the philistine was almost written on his face.

。。。。。。

After lunch, Andy sent Ivana back to the company, he returned to the Newsweek Building leisurely, as soon as the elevator door opened, he saw three assistants led by Tori waiting at the door, heard the greetings of the three, nodded slightly, and walked towards the office.

Sitting in the boss's chair, Andy yawned a little lazily, looked at the little assistant who hung up his suit for him, and walked to him in a white shirt and black skirt, twisted his waist, reached out and patted her, and said, "Take a nap with me." ”

Tori's big eyes flashed with brilliance, she was naturally desperate, after all, she had been separated from the Great Demon King for almost a month, and after meeting, after eating a full meal, there was nothing to do with her, after all, the bad queen dominated all day long.

In the break room, Andy was looking down at the assistant helping him undress when he heard the phone ringing on the wound table.

Tori walked over and picked it up and looked at it, and said to Andy, who was already lying on the wound, "It's still the phone number of the CEO of Paramount." ”

Andy reached out to take the phone, lay flat on his back on the wound, stretched out his finger to the little assistant, and after signaling, he picked up the phone.

The little assistant mei's eyes were like silk, and the bright red chun...

“。。。 Hmmm!" Andy listened to the other party's narration, suddenly let out a soft hum, then took a deep breath, calmed down before saying: "Mr. Gray, you shouldn't look for me for this kind of thing, you should go directly to Carl, the film production rights of "Lost Z City" were bought back by him, to be honest, it wasn't you who called me to tell me, I didn't even know about it... What, do you say cooperation? I'm still saying that, it's really useless for you to find me for this kind of thing, it's better to talk to Carl directly... ”

The corners of Andy's mouth turned up, and the expression on his face became more and more strange, and after a light hiss, he reached out angrily and patted the top of Tori's head, Nima, as if wearing the Ascension Talisman, accelerated instantly, and was almost flashed.

And listening to Paramount CEO Brad Gray's wry explanations and proposals on the phone, Andy didn't want to listen to it at all, not to mention the adaptation rights of "Lost Z City", a real adventure story that has a lot of influence in the West, is an ordinary adaptation right, and it fell into the mockingbird copyright company that only eats and doesn't vomit, and don't think you can get it without paying a big price.

Not to mention Carl, who is getting more and more difficult, since this guy has become the new Hollywood gatekeeper, he has become more and more towards the trend of hob rou, there is no interest, he is definitely a good buddy, a good friend, but once there is a problem of interests, then don't think about taking advantage of him, if you don't peel off the skin, Carl, the bastard, will want to smoke his mouth.

After a few perfunctory words, Andy hung up the phone, smashed his mouth a few times, picked up his mobile phone and Googled it, looked at the story introduction of "Lost Z City", and couldn't help but light up in his eyes.

The manuscript is written by author David Green, and the story is based on a true story about exploring a mysterious ancient city lost in the Amazon of South America.

The ancient city has always been shrouded in a fog of unknown and mystery, and the internal information about this "lost city" is contained in the Royal Archives of Portugal, but there are no specific coordinates, only that it is located somewhere in the jungle in the western Brazilian state of Mato Grosso.

British explorer Colonel Percy Foster attempted to find the lost city, known as "City Z", but mysteriously disappeared with his expedition team in 1925.

Over the next 70 years, numerous attempts by explorers to retrace Foster failed, including the 1996 expedition to Brazil.

Seeing a few searches, Andy couldn't help but sneer, I see.

It turned out that Brad Pitt said in an interview that he was interested in participating in and producing "The Lost Z City", and Paramount Pictures wanted to take the film production rights as soon as they learned about it, but unfortunately, Carl, who was looking around to buy the copyright, had already bought the film and television rights of this work like a rabbit.

Andy knows that the current mockingbird copyright company is no longer a small company with three or two kittens, Carl has set up a department to find valuable targets in the world of scripts every day, and being famous or not being famous is the target of acquisition, after all, the set of 'IP is king' instilled by Andy aims to make content with long-term vitality and commercial value!

The key is that Andy has come all the way, IP is undoubtedly a very amazing wealth brought by intellectual property, which makes Carl take IP as the king of the company's struggle and pursuit, and the acquisition of copyright is almost crazy, and now many Hollywood film companies have also joined this war for IP resources, Carl has made many people hate the itchy teeth, you must know that once Carl sees the IP, he really dares to use money to smash, and the competitors who dare not spend money can only pause and scold and complain。

Whenever this happens, Carl always looks at his opponent with disdain, and even the idea of ridiculing each other is not respected, the best counterattack to these subordinates is to ignore it, and the copyright is the greatest success, and the pan-entertainment industry guidelines he said to Andy have long been regarded as the truth, IP is king, channel is king, and marketing is king!
