Chapter 0527: Troubles at Superstar Pictures
is busy with recording songs and arranging, and also taking time to be busy with the affairs of Galaxy Cinemas, and the days go by day by day like this,
Although he is indeed tired sometimes, Li Wenxing feels fulfilled like never before.
is different from the life before rebirth, every minute of his life is not wasted, but really alive.
On the morning of May 17, when Li Wenxing was sitting in the recording studio to compose songs as usual, the secretary Carla came over.
Li Wenxing can be said to have delegated 90% of the rights to Kara, if Kara still can't make his own decisions, then he must be in great trouble.
Sure enough, when Li Wenxing returned to the office on the sixth floor, Kara reported several tricky things in a row.
"The matter of the copyright of the "Star Trek" movie cannot be discussed, as early as a few years ago, the copyright owner NBC had the idea of making it into a movie with the film company.
It's just that the script has not been settled, and the budget cost is also very high, and the risk is too great.
But now that we're approaching us to talk, they're starting to think about making it themselves.
Boss, your fame is too great, although you haven't achieved anything in Hollywood, but you just arrived in Hollywood, you dare to spend 20 million dollars to make two movies, without considering the risks involved.
Hollywood has never had a producer as bold and generous as you,
Although they don't understand why you are so confident, they don't think you are crazy, you are a gambler.
They believe that if you can choose Star Trek among many TV series, then it must have value to be adapted, so they decided not to sell the rights outright, but to co-produce it with you.
Also, the script you gave me "The Man from the Bottom of the Atlantic" almost coincides with the idea of a screenwriter in NBC, but the screenwriter has not had time to complete the script, and he has not yet registered with the Screenwriters Guild.
This one is a little troublesome, because the screenwriter wrote the script for the NBC series of long dramas "Journey to the Sea", and then, the two scripts are strikingly similar.
You know, this crash has made some of the NBC's top brass very angry, thinking that you played some trick to steal the writer's idea, and it's now under investigation.
Two things that require you to make a decision as soon as possible. ”
Reporting cleanly, Carla Titus looked at her young boss sitting three meters in front of her, and her heart rose with endless gratitude and admiration, mixed with some admiration, and the admiration was growing day by day.
She is so lucky, born in a film family, she did not continue to be a filmmaker like her relatives, but chose to study business administration, hoping to one day become the elite CEO of a world-famous company.
It's a pity that even if you are lucky, it will be a very, very long-term, even difficult goal to achieve.
In the three years since graduating, she has changed jobs four times, and even lost her job for two and a half months (the employment difficulties caused by the oil crisis in '73-75).
Four years of hard study, three years of employment experience, and seven full years, I dedicated the best time of my life to the CEO dream, but the result was nothing.
Until she met the man in front of her, a little boy who was eight years younger than her, she realized her dream of becoming the CEO of a world-famous company many years in advance.
How does it feel to be in control of a multinational company with a registered capital of more than $30 million and the smallest projects in hand that are all in the millions? Her answer is: Great!
Back to Li Wenxing,
was suddenly found by Carla to listen to the report, Li Wenxing was actually prepared in advance to be frightened when he heard the trouble.
As a result, after listening to the report, Li Wenxing knew that it was just a false alarm.
Two things that don't matter, well, at least for him.
"The Man from the Bottom of the Atlantic is definitely my original, and if there is another person who also thinks of this idea, it can only be a coincidental crash, and I believe that similar crashes have happened many times in Hollywood.
You tell NBC for me that if the gossip news about my plagiarism spreads before the exact results of the investigation indicate that I plagiarized, then I will definitely take them to court.
You know that I just won a rights defense lawsuit in Xiangjiang, in fact, I also want to show my face in Hollywood, and by the way, promote Superstar Pictures and the next movies that the company will shoot and will release.
At that time, I will directly form a super luxurious lineup of lawyers, start a show that belongs to me, and then make NBC completely unable to get off the stage.
Then I would choose to take a stake in another TV network, or I would start a full cooperation with them.
You have to know that "The Man from the Bottom of the Atlantic" is actually just a second-rate drama in my hands, and I only took it out because it didn't cost too much to produce.
And even if I lose the lawsuit in the end and lose it, it won't hurt me, I don't know how many scripts are better than it, I can just come up with a drama, and NBC will lose a lot of ratings in the next broadcast season.
Well, you can tell them in the same words, and it should be good for me to show arrogance and self-defeating appropriately.
If they value me because of that, it will help negotiate the rights to Star Trek in the future, and it will also help if they despise me because of it.
It's not impossible to co-produce Star Trek with them, but I want all the production rights, and they can keep the distribution rights.
That is, how to shoot the movie, I say, how to release it, I don't interfere, everyone just chooses the content division of labor that they are good at, which is like cooperation.
Oh, and you can also make a concession and give priority to the first round of "Charlie's Angels" in exchange, and you should know about its selling point.
As long as the box office of "Tomb Raider" can sell more than 50 million, "Charlie's Angel" BC will definitely make money if it gets it.
emmm…… Let's deal with it like that, are there any other troubles besides these two things?"
Almost like chopping melons and vegetables, Li Wenxing solved two things that made Kara in a dilemma in three or two clicks.
Of course, this is also because of the difference in identity, and the vital interests of Li Wenxing, the boss, although Li Wenxing delegated most of his powers to Kara, Kara did not dare to overstep his responsibilities and directly make decisions for Li Wenxing.
There is always a hidden scale here, for example, Li Wenxing asked Carla to buy the copyright of "Star Trek", but people didn't want to sell it, but wanted to cooperate and shoot it together.
Carla can only come back and ask Li Wenxing again, if she dares to make her own decisions about such a big matter, then she, the secretary and CEO, is afraid that she will not be able to do it for long.
As for Li Wenxing being suspected of plagiarism, then Kara has to do her duty as a subordinate and hurry back to report it to Li Wenxing, otherwise Li Wenxing will still be in the dark when the incident happens in the future, which is a big dereliction of duty.
In the workplace, in the workplace, everywhere is knowledge, everywhere is the doorway, more than three years of crawling, Carla has also summed up some experience, which also makes Li Wenxing more satisfied with her and lays the foundation for future promotion.
