Chapter 109 is tempting

When United Pictures was at the height of Hollywood's glory, it was a third-rate company, and it couldn't be compared with Pan American Entertainment at all. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Although Bob is now being purged by Pan American Entertainment, as long as he releases the message that he is willing to work again, I believe that many companies will come to invite him.

If it wasn't an invitation from a giant, at least it was an invitation from a second-rate top film company.

Therefore, even if he was a little surprised by Lin Feng's acquisition now, he would not let himself jump into the fire pit because of his admiration for this young man's ability!

No one knows the rules of the entertainment industry better than him.

It's a winner-takes-all and loser has nothing.

Some people always wonder how to become a film giant like Pan American Entertainment!

What kind of conditions must be met to have the strength and influence of Hollywood giants.

Funds?

There were many wealthy people who had a lot of money and entered the entertainment industry with astronomical funds, but after a short period of glory, they soon fell! Without strong funds, the film company established by these rich people instantly became an ordinary company like a street cabbage.

Funding is an essential condition for a film company to reach the top, but it is not the most important factor.

Well-known director?

With the changes of the times, the current entertainment industry has long passed the era when a movie won the world, and there is no time for one or two superstars to support a film company's plate in the early days, and now with the change of the rules of the entertainment industry, as long as you have money and enough funds, no matter what kind of director, no matter how big a star, you can be invited to join the crew.

It can be said that directors and actors are not the roadblocks that prevent film companies from becoming giants.

Bob has been at the helm of Pan American Entertainment for decades, and after so many years of ups and downs in Hollywood, he naturally has his unique understanding, in his opinion, the reason why a giant is a giant is because of a monopoly!

This is not a monopoly on directors and actors, nor is it a monopoly on the cinema chain.

Rather, it is a monopoly on content copyright.

It can be said that now whether it is the publishing market or the comic market, the copyright of all the best-selling books and comics is in the hands of those giants.

Without these giants, it is simply not possible for other studios to shoot these best-selling books and comic films.

The most important thing is that this monopoly has been accumulated by these giants through decades of non-stop buying of various copyrights, and it is simply not possible for other film companies to break this monopoly.

At least Bob himself knows very well that when he was at Pan American Entertainment, he had always arranged for a special department to pay attention to the continuous acquisition of the rights to various best-selling books and comics that appeared in the market.

The accumulation of so many years is completely a terrifying quantity.

Although there are several movies in the entertainment industry around the world that appear as dark horses every year, this is not taken seriously by their giants at all, because they know that this is just leftovers that have slipped through their hands.

At the best of online film companies, it was only a third-rate film company, and the current situation may not even be as good as a third-rate film company, even if there are some copyrights in their hands, it is estimated that they left it out at the beginning.

Trying to rely on these rights to work hard in Hollywood is, in Bob's view, a very difficult thing.

Once, twice, maybe, but it's not possible to last long.

Although Pan Am Entertainment failed miserably to "Journey to the West" in the movie box office market last time, if Pan Am Entertainment really wants to target Lin Feng, they have a lot of film copyrights that have accumulated word-of-mouth and audiences through decades.

As long as these copyrights become movies at that time, Bob believes that the young man on the other side will resist countless times.

Maybe once, twice may resist, but can you guarantee that it will always be?

Therefore, now after hearing Lin Feng's official invitation to join him, Bob thought about it for a while, and refused Lin Feng's invitation without hesitation.

He Bob can't afford to lose this man.

Hearing Bob's refusal, Lin Feng seemed to have expected it, his expression was not unusual, nor was he disappointed, only to see his fair face smile slightly: "Mr. Bob, can you tell me the reason? I believe it should not be the reason for the treatment and rights, right?"

Seeing that Lin Feng was still calm and calm at the moment, Bob also had to admire this young man's cultivation and city government, he was indeed not an ordinary person, the words had come to this point, he did not hide anything, looked at Lin Feng, and said seriously: "Mr. Lin, do you know what is the most important thing for a film company?"

Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, he really didn't expect Bob to ask this question, he thought about it slightly, and he had the answer in his heart, but before he could speak, Bob continued:

"Creativity, content!"

"For a film company, money, directors, actors, Although the cinema chain is important, it is not the most important, because these can be solved in various ways, the funds are insufficient, we can pull a few more investments, directors and actors, as long as the salary is generous and sincere, we will definitely be able to invite the actors we need, the cinema chain may be very important in the past, but for the current film market, everything is based on interests, as long as your movie does have a high attendance rate, no cinema company is willing to get along with money!"

"So, in my opinion, creativity and content are the most important thing for studios nowadays, and without content, what is your studio going to do to make movies?"

Lin Feng was just about to speak, but was interrupted by Bob's wave of his hand, at this moment he seemed to fall into a state of excitement, the past few days of Cokeley's messing, made him angry, as if he was going to vent at this time.

"I know you're tempted to say you're talented at screenwriting, but can you guarantee that you'll always be able to come up with a classic script like "Journey to the West"?

"I have been at Pan Am Entertainment for many years, so I will talk about the copyright that Pan Am Entertainment knows and has in my hands, "Superman", the most classic TV series idea in the United States, and the film adaptation rights are in the hands of Pan American Entertainment; Pan American Entertainment's best-selling book and the right to change movies are also in the hands of Pan American Entertainment, and there are still a lot of copyrights like this that have a wide influence and audience base, and each copyright can be made into a series of movies, and each movie will be the most anticipated work by the audience and fans!"

"Mr. Lin, can you tell me, how many copyrights like this are in the hands of Lianlian Film Company?"

Can you tell me, how many rights do Wired Pictures have?"

When Bob said this, he saw that Lin Feng seemed to be shocked by his words, so he took a sip of coffee, waiting for Lin Feng to figure it out.

At this time, Lin Feng's expression was indeed a little stunned, but he was not shocked, but a little familiar, he felt that what Bob said, he felt very familiar, as if someone had already said it in his ear.

He frowned as he thought about these words, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he thought of it.

I remember that in my previous life, Lin Feng once read a news commentary analyzing why Hollywood movies are rampant in the global film market, and there seems to be similar remarks to Bob in the comments.

Putting aside the three major elements of Hollywood's success, the creativity and plot settings in those amazing Hollywood blockbusters are indeed commendable.

But what is disappointing is that the rights to books and comics in the world that can be adapted into movies have long been acquired by Hollywood.

"Harry Potter", "Transformers", "The Lord of the Rings", "Iron Man", "Batman", "Hurricane Rescue", "Captain America" and so on, these movies that have a wide influence around the world are basically adapted from comics and best-selling books.

If you are careful, you will find that all the Hollywood studios that shoot these classic blockbusters are basically those giants, not Hollywood's second-tier film companies.

Why?

Because copyright has been monopolized.

It is simply not possible to snatch the copyright from these giants.

Although there are no such popular comics and books in this world, in Bob's eyes, the current world's mouth-watering copyrights have already been bought by movie giants, and at most they are just some leftovers that have leaked out of their hands.

Wired wants to use these leftovers to make a world of its own in Hollywood, which in Bob's view, is simply a dream.

Lin Feng didn't expect that Bob's point of view would be such a coincidence with a news comment he saw in his previous life, or that this is really the rule of the entertainment industry!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but show a sudden look.

Bob was relieved when he saw Lin Feng as if he had figured it out, if it weren't for the fact that he now knew Lin Feng's information, there were too many halos on this young man, and he would never have said so much nonsense.

"Monopoly, top copyright and content, has long been monopolized by the six giants of Hollywood, no matter how good your online company is, even if it can continue to make one or two blockbuster movies, for the giants, it will not shake their foundation at all, which does not meet my expectations, so, mrlin, I'm very sorry!"

Hearing Bob's euphemistic refusal, Lin Feng's expression still did not change, he didn't expect that Bob's concern was because of this, but this reflected from another side that Bob's heart was at least unwilling to fail and unwilling to disappear from Hollywood!

In that case, then everything is easy to do!

Lin Feng was afraid that Bob would be depressed because of Pan American Entertainment's ruthlessness, or he had already agreed to the requests of other film companies.

A mysterious smile appeared on his face, and then he took out a stack of papers from the briefcase he had brought with him, and handed them to Bob again, still without any explanation, and reached out to signal Bob to take a look.

When Bob saw the document in front of him, he was stunned, he really didn't expect that he had bothered to say a lot of things, but he still didn't dispel the unrealistic thoughts in the heart of the young man in front of him, his face couldn't help but show a trace of impatience, what other documents to read, unless it was a contract agreement to acquire the six major Hollywood movie giants, it would definitely not make him change his mind.

As for the acquisition of the Big Six Hollywood, Bob thinks it is even more unlikely than Lin Feng inviting him to join Online Films!

However, out of etiquette, he still endured the impatience in his heart and looked down at the document that Lin Feng gave him.

Or can't say it's a document, Bob flipped through the file, and in addition to the top of a few sheets of paper, the bottom turned out to be a comic.

He couldn't help but look at the few pieces of paper on it, and when he saw the content on it, he couldn't help but be surprised, he looked up at Lin Feng in disbelief, Lin Feng nodded, indicating that these were all true.

Bob looked down at the document in his hand again, unable to hide the shock in his heart.

He really didn't expect that the few pieces of paper in his hand turned out to be a document of intent for several Hollywood giants to acquire the adaptation rights of a comic book movie called "Transformers"!

"Transformers"?

In this way, the following comic must be the "Transformers" that has attracted the hearts of several Hollywood giants?

With strong curiosity, Bob quickly flipped through the comic, then closed his eyes, and couldn't calm down for a long time!

Absolutely genius creative!

In particular, the idea of the Autobot's transformation is really amazing.

"The copyright of this comic belongs to your company?" Bob was still unconvinced, and asked again to confirm it.

"Yes!" Lin Feng nodded, and then continued: "This comic is released simultaneously by Huaxia and Mi Guo, and it has only been released for two issues, especially in the United States, the sales are not as good as Huaxia, but I didn't expect that there would already be Hollywood giants who paid attention to the value of this comic!"

Bob smiled bitterly, don't pay attention, if he was still at Pan Am Entertainment at the moment, he wouldn't let go of this comic called "Transformers"!

For those Hollywood giants, the easiest time to acquire the rights of best-selling books in the market is when these books and comics have not yet become popular, and it is also the easiest to start.

As the general manager of a Hollywood film giant, he knows all too well what this is all about.

Every film giant will have a dedicated department, always keeping an eye on new books and comics that have the potential to sell well in the cultural market, and they will not hesitate to ask for film adaptation rights as soon as they feel that these books and comics are worth spending money on to acquire the rights.

Pan Am Entertainment also has such a department, but it was set up by Bob himself, and after years of expansion, all of them are sharp-eyed professionals.

Among the documents Lin Feng gave him, Pan American Entertainment proposed to buy the copyright of the "Transformers" movie!

Seeing the name of Pan American Entertainment in the document, Bob really felt a sense of absurdity, just now he was talking to the young man in front of him about the importance of creativity and content, but he didn't expect to see that in a short period of time, he had been proud of proposing an agreement to acquire the rights to other people's films.

It's hard to get used to.

Before Bob came back to his senses, Lin Feng smiled and took out a stack of documents from his briefcase and handed them to Bob.

When Bob saw the document in front of him, he was stunned, there was still one?

Is it still the film adaptation rights purchase agreement of those Hollywood giants?

He picked up the document and looked at it, and his heart was relieved, but it was just a stack of draft comics.

Spider-Man!

After seeing the name on the top of the document, Bob continued to look through it with a strange mood, and after a long time, the coffee in front of the two had already cooled, and he looked up at Lin Feng with a complicated look.

To be honest, at this moment, he really can't use words to describe the mood and feelings in his heart at this time.

But before Bob's mood could return to normal, Lin Feng saw Bob finish reading the documents in front of him, and took out a stack of documents from his briefcase!

Handed it to him again.

Bob looked at the document in front of him, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, and he couldn't help but say, "Or comics?"

Whether it is "Transformers" or "Spider-Man", he has already read it roughly, although he didn't read it too carefully, but he also had to admit that these two comics were excellent.

Needless to say, "Transformers", the film adaptation rights agreements sent by several Hollywood film giants are enough to prove the excellence of this comic.

Especially the robot deformation inside, even the well-informed Bob has to sigh that this idea is really too genius, he doesn't know if there is anyone coming, but he can definitely guarantee that it is unprecedented.

If the robots in the comics could be transformed into real shots with special effects, Bob could have imagined the audience's shock and screams after seeing the movie.

And "Spider-Man" is another comic book with a very different style.

Although this comic is also very creative, Bob sees that it contains the hero complex in this comic, and Hollywood's favorite is this kind of hero complex that saves people from fire and water.

It can be said that the bones of the comic "Spider-Man" are hero comics created according to the Hollywood model, although this comic does not seem to be on the market yet, but Bob can guarantee that after this comic is listed, the agreement that the Hollywood giants want to acquire the adaptation rights of this comic book movie will definitely fly over like snowflakes.

He really didn't expect that after these two comics that amazed him, Lin Feng took out another stack of documents!

"No!" Lin Feng shook his head slightly, "This is a novel, a novel with the theme of Western magic!"

"Novel?" Bob frowned slightly, and suddenly remembered that he saw information about Lin Feng through the Internet some time ago, and it seemed that this young man also had the identity of a best-selling author in Huaxia.

He also took a look at the novels published by Lin Feng in Huaxia, but the so-called martial arts novels written by Lin Feng couldn't understand them at all, so he gave up directly after reading a little.

Did he think that Westerners would like his kind of novels written with Chinese thinking?

No matter what, Bob still lowered his head and looked at the slightly thicker stack of documents in front of him again, obviously this novel, Lin Feng has not yet been published, otherwise it would not be printed on paper, but directly took the ready-made book to him.

After a while, Bob was immersed in the file in his hand, forgetting the concept of time.

Lin Feng didn't feel anxious because of this, he ordered two cups of coffee again, replaced the coffee that had been cooled, and continued to drink coffee leisurely, waiting for Bob's reaction.

I believe that "Harry Potter" should make him tempted.

In the café, Bob looked at the thick papers and cartoons in front of him with a shocked expression.

He really didn't expect that the young man opposite could come up with three top-level movie scripts at once, and each of these three movie scripts could be made into a series of movies.

"Transformers", "Harry Potter", "Spider-Man", if you count the "2012" scripts he saw before, this young man has four top scripts in his hands at once!

If these scripts are seen by Hollywood giants in the outside world, they will definitely steal the head.

And what Bob cares about the most is the Lian Lian Film Company acquired by Lin Feng, once these four top scripts are used as the foundation, then in the next 10 years, Lian Lian Film Company will be able to make a steady stream of movies that can sell all over the world every year!

In this way, there will be a chain reaction, and the influence of the film after it is screened will be attached to the online film company.

The growth of the company can attract more heavyweight directors and actors to join the company's films.

To be honest, at this moment, Bob was a little moved.

He has been in Hollywood for so many years, and he has never seen such a top-notch script and cabbage put in front of him as today.

Such a feeling of happiness was something he had never felt before.

Perhaps the amount of copyright in your hands is not an absolute criterion for judging whether a film company can become a giant, but it is definitely a very important criterion.

Like the three scripts that Lin Feng just came up with, all of them are the three top scripts that can be continuously made into a series of movies, and one is comparable to dozens of ordinary scripts in Hollywood.

These scripts can definitely be the most valuable asset of Wired Films.

Before Bob could come back to his senses, he saw Lin Feng pointing to his head with a confident smile, and whispered, "If I can, I can write at least three scripts of the same level as Mr. Bob that you see now!"

"How is that possible?" exclaimed Bob.

Lin Feng said that he could write three scripts of the same level, which really surprised him.

When will such a classic movie script be so easy to write?

Bob felt incredulous in his heart, but he himself had to tell himself that all this was true, because through his understanding of Lin Feng in the recent period, the young man in front of him had never been the kind of person who was young and frivolous, talking nonsense and irresponsible.

Lin Feng's face was dangerous, and he calmly met Bob's shocked eyes.

Of course, he knew the impact of his words on the other party, or in the eyes of 99% of people, it was simply a fantasy and unimaginable thing.

But Lin Feng knew that he had the most ungodly cheat of rebirth, not to mention the three scripts in front of him, even if there were thirty more scripts, he would have no problem.

"Iron Man", "Fast and Furious", "Raiders of the Lost Ark", "The Mummy", "Future Soldier" and so on, like these scripts, he hasn't made them yet!

If he still has all these scripts in front of Bob, it is estimated that the other party may have an excited heart attack!

"Mr. Bob, I can make a guarantee, no matter what kind of script, for me, it will definitely not be any problem!" Lin Feng said, and then he raised his index finger to make a gesture of 1: "Every year, every year, I will provide three scripts for the online film company, and one of them must be at the same level as the script you see today!"

"Until the day my film company becomes a giant in the world film industry!"

Lin Feng's words were loud, and his assurances fully revealed his great ambition, and Bob was deafening to hear it, hitting his heart like a wave.

As the head of Pan Am Entertainment, Bob has seen countless young people who are full of vigor and spirit, and has also met many leaders who have made their own careers at a young age.

But he had never seen that at Lin Feng's age, he could start from scratch and work hard to create a sky of his own completely on his own, and he also had such a lofty ambition!

If Lin Feng's current achievements and ambitions were put on middle-aged people and those old foxes who were stumbling in the business world, Bob would definitely not feel any surprise.

He saw a different character and charm in Lin Feng, and he found that this young man was like the rising sun, always full of vitality, always full of confidence in himself, and what made Bob admire the most was that although this young man was always amazing, he could always come up with works corresponding to what he said!

This is a young man who is working miracles all the time.

"I sincerely invite you, Mr. Bob, to join Oriental DreamWorks and use your experience and knowledge to lead Oriental DreamWorks to stand tall in the world's film industry, when Oriental DreamWorks defeats all the world's film giants, then we are giants!" Lin Feng said in a slightly passionate tone.

It was only at this time that Lin Feng once again extended an invitation to Mr. Bob to join Oriental DreamWorks.

Bob was silent!

Hearing Lin Feng's words, he even had the urge to immediately agree to the invitation, he believed that if he was twenty years younger, he would definitely agree without hesitation and without thinking about an invitation that was both passionate and attractive.

Every man has an impulsive age in his heart.

However, now that Bob is past this age, if he didn't take Lin Feng's invitation to heart in the slightest before, but at this moment, he was moved to see Lin Feng giving such full preparation and planning for the future!

If Lin Feng can really follow his promise, have these top-level scripts as the foundation, and provide a top-notch script every year, then for him, it is definitely promising.

Through his previous investigation of Lin Feng, he knew that this young man was not short of money, that is to say, there was no problem with the funds needed for the company's development.

Now coupled with the script provided by Lin Feng, what does it mean for a film company to have money and a script in hand, Bob couldn't be clearer in his heart.

If he joins Oriental DreamWorks, with the connections and connections he has accumulated over decades in Hollywood, the future is definitely worth looking forward to.

Maybe it will really be as Lin Feng said, when they defeat all the film giants in the world, they will become the new giants.

Bob looked at the thick stack of scripts in front of him, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that this possibility was very high.

After a long time, he exhaled heavily, looked up at Lin Feng, and said slowly and seriously: "Mr Lin, I need to think carefully and carefully, I want to give you an answer tomorrow!"

Lin Feng's heart was lighter when he heard this, compared to Bob's attitude before, there has been a significant change, the other party is tempted, it seems that the things he prepared today have played a role, his expression is not a little strange, he is still as warm as the beginning, and stretched out his right hand with a smile and said: "Then I will wait for your good news Mr. Bob!"

The two hands clasped together firmly.
