In the afternoon, in the café of the Hilton Hotel, Andy and Rob Freman sat opposite each other. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"If Summit Entertainment wants the copyright of these two novels, then I need to get 25% of the shares of Summit Entertainment! Don't worry, listen to me, I am very optimistic about the potential of these two novels to be adapted into movies, which I think many people in Hollywood recognize, otherwise there would not be so many companies bidding, the "Twilight" series I spent more than six million to buy the copyright, in my mind it is worth at least 10 million dollars, and I also need to add the box office share, my "The Hunger Games" The same is true, after all, the sales of its first part have now exceeded one million, and the data will not lie... “

Andy's words never stopped, and Rob Freman wanted to interrupt Andy's persuasion several times, but when he heard Andy say, " What I have always pursued is to hand over professional things to professional people, I have several companies, all of which are managed by professional JINGYING, in addition to its attractive distribution channels, you, Rob Freman, the former CEO of Paramount are also the reasons I care about very much, if I successfully become a shareholder of the summit, I will choose to support you, I think another founder as an insider, will naturally support you, so think about it, the future of the company's decision-making will not be completely controlled by the board of directors, to avoid the layman's blind command, what do you sayI don't think my conditions are too much... ”

Andy's words fell, Rob Freman, who was still a little unhappy with Andy's lion's big mouth, couldn't help frowning slightly, his lips moved slightly, this middle-aged man looked at Andy's young face with a hint of greenness between his eyebrows, and there was a complicated surprise in his eyes, and he fell into thought in silence.

Andy didn't bother the other party's thinking, everyone is a smart person, some things are clear, and there is no need to say everything too bluntly.

Of course, Rob knows that there are too many mothers-in-law on his head and how serious the constraints are on him, but fortunately, the original founder of the summit of the three shareholders supports him, but the other two shareholders are not so easy to get along with, they value making money, and they don't treat Rob very much for the behavior of collecting the copyright of scripts and novels everywhere.

Is Hollywood short of scripts?

No kidding, even Hollywood restaurant waiters and taxi drivers are writing scripts, and any inconspicuous little person meets to talk about new scripts and new ideas, not to mention those film companies, and the scripts in the Hollywood Screenwriters Guild are sea, and there is no shortage at all.

First-class scripts, second-rate actors, third-rate directors...

First-class director, second-rate script, third-rate actor...

First-rate actors, second-rate directors, third-rate scripts...

This basically encapsulates the operation mode of the world's film factory, and the two shareholders in it need their investment to make a lot of money, and they don't care about the company's development and heritage.

Rob looked up at Andy, who was sitting across from him, and said, "Although I am very optimistic about the potential of these two novels, I can't guarantee that others are equally optimistic, after all, before it becomes real data, it is just an imagination, and I am not sure about convincing the shareholders of the company!"

Andy chuckled, shook his head and said: "Mr. Freman, everyone is smart, you don't have to change the concept, in this way, the film and television rights of my two series of novels within 50 years are worth 25 million US dollars, I don't want cash, as long as the shares of Summit Entertainment, is it clearer for you to say this." ”

“。。。。。。 Rob Freman looked at Andy's young and handsome face with deep eyes, he didn't care much about the genius boy touted by the media before, but now it seems that he is not only a genius, but also a very smart businessman, with enough attractive chips in his hands, and he understands the value of the chips in his hands, which is a headache.

"Okay, I already understand what you mean, Mr. Smith, but I'm just a professional manager, and I don't have much say or decision-making power over the company's shares, so I can only call the company's shareholders and ask them to make a decision. If that doesn't work out, we'd like to work with Mr. Smith... ”

Andy shook his head and smiled, directly interrupting Rob Freman's words, the smile on his face disappeared, and he said with a hint of arrogance in his serious expression: "If you don't agree to my request, then, there is no need for us to meet and negotiate again, after all, Summit Entertainment is just a new company, and it's not worth it for me to hand over billions of IP worth to you to operate!"

Rob Freman didn't care about the arrogance in Andy's words, and what people said was also true, but he was a little more curious about Andy's evaluation of the value of the two IPs in his hands, but seeing that Andy Smith didn't have the idea of continuing the conversation, he could only shake hands with the other party in disappointment and say goodbye.

Looking at the figure of Andy Smith leaving with his bodyguards, Rob Freman couldn't help but sigh lightly, since the success of "Harry Potter", the adaptation rights of the best-selling books of the American imperialists' teenage themes are rising all the way, I heard that even the loss-making Marvel company is in a lawsuit, and would rather lose money than give back some superheroes that were sold cheaply before, and everyone seems to have a strong interest in those IPs that were not valued in the past.

Rob Freman naturally understands what the reason is, with the development of science and technology, the continuous development and innovation of film technology, some magical, completely imagined scenes can now be made with computers, and the public is more and more favored by blockbuster commercial blockbusters.

As for the film company, in order to make a profit and avoid losses, it is natural that they like to shoot sequels with successful IPs rather than take big risks to invest in new commercial blockbusters.

Look at the current six majors, which one is not managed by hired professional managers, so it has become the basic consensus of these people that they would rather fry cold rice than make new ingredients to take risks, unless the big boss decides.

Back in the hotel room, Rob Freman held his mobile phone, frowned and hesitated for a while, but finally was persuaded by Andy's persuasion to influence the decision, and adding a shareholder who supported him was undoubtedly a favorable thing for him.

"Mr. Pierce, I'm Rob, things are not going well, Andy Smith's conditions, I can't reply, I can only call you... ”

Andy sat in the car, with a smug smile on his lips, and he could see how Robert Freman was not repulsed by his desire to become a shareholder of the company.

In this way, a discordant board of directors will be conducive to the completion of their own plans.
