Chapter 13: Inception and Got Talent
"A moving fable written through a brilliant imagination, it talks about the anguish of loss and the pain of adolescence. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ----- Los Angeles Times
"Written in a clear and engaging way, Dark Fairy Tales is a fascinating, magical, and well-conceived book. ----- USA Today
Andy was a little flattered to look at the book reviews of major newspapers, he knew that "Dark Fairy Tale" was not as good as some newspapers boasted, and the power of Scholastic Publishing was huge, which was also the biggest gain after signing with them.
The review of USA Today is very pertinent, written in a clear and engaging way, which is indeed his current way of writing, and the description of the movie scene is full of imagery. Andy folded the newspaper one by one and put it on the side of the table, continuing to eat his mixed Chinese and Western breakfast.
After breakfast, after a little rest, he began to work out in the fitness studio, and under the guidance of the fitness coach for a month, his fitness training has become a habit.
The fitness coach found that Andy's physical fitness was not as weak as it seemed on the surface, but with the exercise, he found that his strength was improving rapidly, but Andy didn't know how to use this strength, just blindly used the equipment to consume, so the coach suggested that Andy learn boxing and yoga to better control the strength of the body.
Seeing that the muscles on his body were becoming more and more obvious, Andy was a little distressed, he didn't want to be that kind of muscular hunk.
As for Huaxia Kung Fu or something, Andy doesn't have any thoughts, he doesn't have the foundation of cultivation since he was a child, and his brute strength is just a flower in the moon mirror in the water.
Boxing and yoga can control the way of using strength and exercise the flexibility of the body, and coaches are easy to find, but if you want to find a powerful national martial arts master, it is really a needle in a haystack, as for those martial arts halls, Andy can only hehe.
An hour of workout made Andy sweat all over, wiped the sweat off his face and neck with a towel, sat on the lounge chair and took off his shoes and socks, walked into the bathroom barefoot, stripped off his sweat-soaked sports vest and shorts, opened the water valve and began to shower.
Thinking of the new book he wanted to write, he couldn't help but hesitate a little, "Spy Shadow", "National Treasure" and "Inception" are really difficult to choose.
It seems that the theme of spy war and treasure hunting cannot be published at present, after all, he still has the aura of a young writer, and he has no experience and accumulation, how can he be convincing.
But the story of "Inception" can be written, and as for the original author, the great director Nolan, Andy will not care. The script or something, not to mention that it is not in his consideration, the script written by a rookie screenwriter in Hollywood is only 50,000 to 80,000 US dollars, and the screenwriter with an annual salary of 600,000 yuan is the treatment of a famous screenwriter, which is simply a world difference compared to the income of a famous writer.
Put on comfortable casual clothes, go to the study, sit in front of the computer and start thinking about it with your eyes closed.
The story of Inception is about Dom Cobb, a seasoned thief who is one of the best in his profession because he is able to sneak into people's most fragile dreams and steal valuable secrets from their subconscious. Cobb's rare skill makes him the most coveted target of dangerous corporate espionage, but it also makes him an international fugitive who has lost the love of his own. Now Cobb has a chance to atone for his sins,
As soon as the last task is completed, his life will return to its original state. Unlike in the past, Cobb and his team are not tasked with stealing ideas, but implanting them. If they succeed, it's a perfect crime. But even with meticulous and professional arrangements in advance, it was impossible to predict that the dangerous enemy would already know their movements, and only Cobb could have predicted the enemy's whereabouts.
Andy pinched his fingers lightly and began to type, there was a knock on the door, and Andy, who was busy on the keyboard, said "Please come in" without raising his head and continued to crack to finish the section.
"Sir, your coffee. Liu Yan put the coffee on the desk.
"Thank you," Andy said with a gentle smile on his head, his fingers didn't stop typing, and it didn't seem difficult for him to do it all right now.
Seeing Liu Yan leave the study, Andy looked at the written part, the use of words became more and more skillful and appropriate, and the description was very graphic. It seems that he is a qualified imposter writer Andy shrugged his shoulders and took a sip of fragrant coffee, but this kind of dead house life is a bit bitter, and sighed softly.
Since everything has been planned, it must be done unswervingly, and this book will inevitably attract the attention of major Hollywood film companies and directors as soon as it is published, which is also a stepping stone to becoming famous in Hollywood, a film factory, and must be taken seriously.
"My life has just begun. ”
Two days later, Nielsen and NBC also entered the final stages of negotiations, after NBC and CBS learned that the talent show idea had sold the UK rights for £20 million, and contacted Nielsen again to ask for talks. However, CBS eventually withdrew from the auction because of the price, believing that it was too risky to spend tens of millions of dollars on a show idea.
However, NBC is more determined to buy the rights, they are too eye-catching for the ratings of American idols in the spring of FOX every year, since British independent television stations are willing to spend a lot of money to buy the rights, then they will not be stingy with this money, for NBC, which is willing to spend $12 billion to buy the North American broadcast rights of the Olympic Games, tens of millions are nothing.
Apple's stock had already started to rally, and Andy didn't want to drag it out, so they both made concessions on the premise that both parties were interested in cooperating, and NBC spent $40 million plus five percent of the advertising revenue to get the rights in North America (Canada, the United States and Mexico).
At Andy's request, NBC agreed to only report on Mockingjay Copyrights when it was promoted, downplaying Andy's status as the show's founder.
As soon as the money arrived, Andy met with his financial team, and still asked for the same thing, to buy all Apple shares.
And David was a little speechless about the boss's paranoia, and advised him more than once that he couldn't put all his eggs in one basket, and there were many potential stocks to operate, but, Andy was noncommittal, although he didn't adopt David's suggestion, but he still expressed appreciation and praise for his professionalism.
For Steve Jobs, for smartphones, Andy in later generations knows what kind of change they will bring to the world.
After getting the copyright of the Got Talent, the British independent TV station began to operate at full strength, because with the detailed program process and planning written by Andy, after two weeks of preparation, after completely copying Andy's suggestions for the judges, Simon Cowell, PiersMorgan, and Amanda Holden became the judges of the British Got Talent.
Because only the semi-finals were broadcast live, the current talent audition advertisement has been fully rolled out in the UK, and the winner will not only get a false name, but also a prize money of 100,000 pounds and the opportunity to perform for the British royal family.
There is no limit to age, region, race, during the audition, no matter which city the program team comes to, it will trigger a wave of registration, and the enthusiasm and curiosity of the British people have been detonated before the program is broadcast.
Everyone wants to be a star, take away the prize money, all kinds of strange talents, all kinds of strange talents, plus the merciless judgment of the three judges and the dazzling X-shaped red light undoubtedly make people full of expectations for this show.
The UK's Got Talent was in full swing and became the target of British newspapers, and it was only a matter of time before the show became popular, which undoubtedly reassured NBC in the United States, and also increased its publicity efforts in the United States.
"Only what you can't think of, nothing you can't see, America's Got Talent, this summer, I want you to look good!"
The slogan appeared on almost all NBC stations, and it pushed up the prize money to $1 million, and the daily calls asking about registration were almost flooded, and the degree of enthusiasm made rival FOX deeply worried.
The summer has just begun, and America's Got Talent has kicked off under the auspices of Regis Philbin, with the show judges consisting of David Hasselhoff (Thunderbolt Ranger), Pierce Morgan and Brandi Norwood.
A singer who is ridiculous, a middle-aged man who is over 50 years old but still has to show off his muscles, a folk acrobat, a dancer who dances mediocre...... With the strange performance of the contestants, the judges are becoming more and more mean and sarcastic.
The first episode aired a ratings peak that sent off a national craze, with NBC executives barely closing their mouths at the skyrocketing ratings and check-waving sponsors.
Andy watched the first episode at home and learned the ratings numbers at the end of the show with a smug smile on his face.
With successful examples, the copyright in his hand is easy to sell, as for the plagiarism problem in some countries, he can only hehe, it is a common phenomenon in Huaxia copycats, and he has long been used to it, and he is also a plagiarized idea.
It's just that he still has two shows in his hands that have not been sold for sale, and when the talent show sets off a trend all over the world, he will be able to make a lot of money again.
