Damn, Paramount is really a studio that is rich in high-concept IP movies in this era, but today's things are bound to get it themselves.

After hearing that Paramount had seized the opportunity, Walter was angry in his heart, but he still kept a smile and said, "Ms. Mallorwin, why do you think Disney is not as good as Paramount in making these movies?

"Disney is good at animated films, and live-action films, IMHO, I really haven't seen a few good films, and I don't want my work to be ruined by others. The old woman spoke unhurriedly, and in her words, it was obvious that she had been well prepared for the meeting with Walter this time.

"I think your words are a bit excessive, Ms. Mallorwin, no filmmaker would want to ruin the original work, we all maintain the spirit of being faithful to the original work and treat every excellent work. Walter said very sincerely, of course, in his heart, he himself blushed a little for what he just said, because for the vast majority of filmmakers, making movies is just to make money, as for being faithful to the original book, then forget it, how to entertain how to be the best. Again, a movie is a commodity, it can only be sold, but it can't be sold, unless the investors themselves are not bad for money and are willing to lose money, otherwise, those adapted movies can only have names, and the rest of the content is just entertainment-oriented.

"Really?" the old woman's old face glanced at Walter, as if she had seen through Walter's heart, and made Walt's heart tremble.

"Isn't it?"

The old woman obviously didn't want Walter to dwell on this topic that she knew very well, and simply replied: "I believe in my vision, Disney is really inferior to Paramount, if I had to choose, I would choose Paramount!"

"Really?" Walter asked, in an aggravated tone, "Is your vision really okay?" Ms. Mallorwin?"

Like the stories I write, I'm sure they'll appeal to every reader. The old woman's eyes revealed a determined gaze that was inversely proportional to her age.

"Can I understand that every decision you make is the right one, right?" Vought continued to ask rhetorically.

"Of course it's all right. ”

"Does that mean the right decisions make you happy?"

"Of course!"

The old woman's affirmative words made the corners of Dewater's mouth smile, and Walter, who had investigated her background in detail beforehand, asked in a heavy tone, "Did the first marriage you chose make you happy?"

"You ......," the old woman blurted out as if she had been caught by something, looking at Walter with a hint of resentment.

Walter didn't care, and still said to himself: "Choosing this kind of man shouldn't be a choice made by a woman who claims that she has no problem with her vision!"

So what? It's when everyone is wrong, and no one can always prove that they're right. ”

"However, since you can't prove that your vision is right, why are you sure that Disney is not as good as Paramount?"

"This ...... Because ......"

The old woman was obviously at a loss by Walter's blow and rhetorical question, and she was confused for a while, seeing this, Walter understood that she should have a lot of hope for this time, as for this old woman, it was naturally Agatha Christie, the original author of "Murder on the Orient Express" that he wanted to buy this time.

Agatha Christie - Agatha Christie, one of the three grandmasters of the world's mystery novels, is the only woman among the three of them, along with RB's Kiyohari Matsumoto, and Britain's Arthur Conan Doyle, Arthur Conan Doyle, Arthur Conan Doyle.

As for Walter calling her Ms. Mallorwin, it was because she had been divorced once, and later married her second husband, her nephew's college classmate Max Mallowan-Max Malloyn, so she naturally changed her surname, but Max joined the army in World War II and was sent to North Africa as a Middle East expert, and eventually died in battle.

The reason why Walter came to find the legendary British female detective novelist this time was naturally not for anything else, but for the copyright of the novel in her hands, and this time, Walter wanted to get the copyright of the novel "Murder on the Orient Express" that he had seen in later generations from Agatha Christie.

Since the success of "American Painting", Walter has also been thinking about one thing, that is, how to continue his miracle, it is true that he now has a good relationship with Lucas, and he has also made contact with Spielberg through his global relationship, which seems to be very wonderful.

However, this is not enough, and Walter will not have the time to wait for these later directors to grow, and if he needs to quickly establish his achievements and prestige at Disney, there must be a constant number of new productions. And the most important point is that these movies can have a high box office, at least about two films a year, so that Disney can understand their importance, and be able to follow his path of success like that tyrant, so as to gain the trust of Disney's top management, and finally practice their own purpose of controlling Disney.

Therefore, when he was in the United States, Walter did two things, one thing was to find the name of the work of a well-known writer, and then based on his memory, the novel seemed to have a good reputation at the box office, and then he bought the film adaptation rights, and the other thing was to recruit some trustworthy gunmen and tell them what he remembered well for short stories to fill in.

Both of these things are preparations for a steady stream of successful movie scripts, but it is clear that the latter is not as simple as the former compared to the former. Those gunman wandering writers who have a certain literary foundation for the sake of money have written the first draft that has not met Walter's requirements, of course, Walter's requirements are very simple, readable, the plot is compact, and they can vividly depict the characters in the story in their mouths.

It's easy to say, but it's not so simple to write, so in order to ensure that his next film project will not be interrupted, Walter can only choose the former. And just now, after searching for famous British works, Walter decided at a glance that he would first buy the rights to "Murder on the Orient Express".

As for the reason, it's very simple, naturally because the suspense and reasoning essay can be attractive to read at any time, and the box office revenue of the movie remade according to it is also good. Of course, for Walter, there is another most important reason, that is, even in later generations, this novel has been constantly taken out and remade into film and television dramas.

Novels that can be constantly remade are naturally classics, and generally speaking, no matter how bad the results of this kind of classics are, its first remake will definitely not be bad. Walter sent someone to contact Agatha Christie, but something went wrong in the process, because Walter was not alone in eyeing the copyright of the great British writer's novel.

ps: The author's new book, everyone feels that the book is good, you must remember to collect it, and vote for it!
