Andy was drinking coffee with the appearance of an old god, and he didn't seem to care about the strange eyes of the three people looking at him at all, he knew very well that he was in the initiative position, no matter which film company came to the door, he could only listen to his conditions.

The success of "Harry Potter" has made many film companies very jealous, and the era of fan economy has arrived, and the huge fan spending power has made many people full of interest in some potential IPs.

To be honest, Andy just doesn't have enough American knives now, otherwise, he can sleep on the banknotes with peace of mind as long as he swallows Marvel in one bite, but unfortunately, he can't take out so much money now, although it is very feasible to take out some of the money in the future and then guarantee the merger and acquisition through the bank, but Disney has long been eyeing Marvel and will not give Andy a chance at all, and there is also the old immortal Stan Lee, this old guy is notoriously difficult.

Oops, it's a bit far, so since the success of the "Lord of the Rings" series, the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, as well as "Spider-Man", "Batman", especially the popularity of "Harry Potter" all over the world, there is almost a consensus in the Hollywood industry that the future belongs to the world of series movies, and original movies will be overwhelmed by big IPs.

Don't think that Hollywood didn't understand the impact of series movies on original movies in the previous life, they all know very well, but the Big Six are all backed by big conglomerates, and there are Wall Street people who inject money, playing big productions and big investments are the result of the influx of hot money, as long as they can make money, the capitalists will not care about any art.

Hollywood is a big factory, what the market needs, what it likes, it will produce, in his previous life Andy watched Hollywood movies, always saw that most of the Asians were footbasin people, and it was rare to see Chinese, and the Chinese would choose some villains or small supporting roles, which felt very hurtful to self-esteem.

The reason why the footbasin people are mixed in Hollywood, of course, there is a part of Sony Colombia's credit in it, after the footbasin people control, although it is the United States imperialism who operates, but the big boss is the footbasin people, naturally there is a part of the cultural output, look at the Hollywood movies are all pirated Tang knives held by Nima's hands, and the knife in the footbasin mouth will be understood.

Of course, the most important reason is that the footbasin country has always been Hollywood's backyard, and the second largest box office outside North America will naturally be more biased towards some footbasins in terms of actors and plots.

This is also the reason why after the Celestial Empire became the world's second largest box office, Hollywood film companies and stars knelt and licked all kinds of tricks, to put it bluntly, this is the choice of the market!

Andy's two best-selling novels are so popular that they will naturally be sought after by film companies, which also shows how great the potential is, and the box office can be guaranteed by fans of the novels alone, especially as the popularity of the novels increases, and their adaptation rights will become more and more valuable.

Thinking about this, how can a black-bellied, patient, and paranoid person like Andy with his own otaku attributes be in a hurry.

Rob Freman, as an industry insider who has worked his way up from the bottom of Hollywood to the CEO of Paramount, doesn't understand the importance of a good IP?

It's just that they are used to fooling those writers, or they are used to the practice of spending millions to get film and television adaptation rights, sometimes even only a few hundred thousand dollars, and those writers will happily sign contracts, hoping to make a movie, and then drive the physical book to buy more.

It's a pity that they ran into Andy, who knew the value of the copyright of the novel in their hands, and it was impossible to sell it cheaply, just like J.K Rowling, who regretted selling the copyright of "Harry Potter", and finally the film company compromised to give her a share of the box office, and after writing "Wonderful Creature", she did not sell it again, but chose to invest in the production of the film by way of copyright shares.

Therefore, no successful person in this world is a fool, if you see this kind of person, then the other party definitely wants to treat you as a fool!

Andy's office fell into a strange silence, no one on either side spoke, to put it bluntly, everyone didn't know how to open their mouths, because the conditions on both sides were too far from what they thought.

Andy put down the coffee cup in his hand with a smile, looked at the time on his watch, coughed lightly, broke the silence that lasted for a few minutes, and said: "Before you know it, it's noon, so you are guests from afar, I invite you to taste the food of New York at noon, and put things on work first, how about it?"

Rob Freman is not polite, well, the American imperialists don't know what politeness is, if you invite him, he will really agree, he will not understand that you are just polite.

Andy is not polite, but sincere, he wants to have a good chat with Rob Freman, as a professional manager has several bosses, it is definitely a very painful thing, especially there are two bosses who are completely laymen, what they want is to make a profit, Andy feels that he can convince Rob first, let him be optimistic about his entry into Summit Entertainment, if he can say something good at the critical moment, then Andy's plan to occupy the magpie's nest is a key step has been completed.

As for whether he can convince Rob, Andy can only hehe, Rob is just a professional manager with that salary, and the board of directors joins a shareholder who supports him, do you think he will be happy.

As for whether Rob sold the company's interests, it is even more non-existent, the film and television adaptation rights of the two best-selling novels are converted into American knives, and the registered capital of Summit Entertainment is only 100 million US dollars, so it can naturally be used as a shareholder, of course, this requires the consent of the three shareholders who are not bad at the moment.

At lunch, everyone ate more pleasantly, the atmosphere was better, everyone said some inconsequential digressions, and the people brought by Rob also said some Hollywood star gossip, which was very interesting, and some things Andy also heard for the first time, especially the matter of Pete and Jolie, which made Andy even more annoying for this pair of celebrity couples who have always been hostile to the Celestial Empire.

That's when Andy learned about "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" It was produced and released by the peak, and after the script came out, Pete's male lead actor was first set, and then Pete made a list of actresses who wanted to partner with him, and Nicole Kidman was originally set at the beginning, and Nicole agreed, but then he didn't participate for some reason, and Pete refused to continue to participate after knowing it, however, I don't know who moved Jolie, and Pete heard that Julie was going to participate, and immediately signed the contract in a hurry, and then sparks, guns, splits, scandals, divorces, and a big drama together.
