Mo Fei had already slept on the plane, and after getting off the plane and settling down, he went to the company as soon as possible, and the first step from the year after the year was to hurry up and acquire the adaptation rights of some novels, and he had to see how the work went.

“…… Among all the catalogs that have been set before, we have already purchased forty-one novels with unlimited adaptation rights, and Mr. Mo, you have highlighted twenty-nine copies of "The Prince of Tides", "The Great Gatsby", "The Last Movie Tycoon", "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", "Autumn Tales", etc., and the others are being negotiated, but Jim Harrison's "Autumn Tales" is a bit problematic, and he himself is unwilling to sell the unlimited adaptation rights, and he has not been able to continue after two talks. Li Lu, the person in charge of the American company, sat opposite Mo Fei and took out his notebook and reported to Mo Fei one by one.

"Autumn Legend" is a novel that Mo Fei cares about, not to mention that it has won many Oscar nominations, this is still a good film that praises the leading role, and it is indeed a pity to give up. After thinking about it, he said: "In this way, you go to talk to him again, and say that we only buy the adaptation rights of the first version of the movie, but he is not allowed to sell it to others for fifteen years, including the adaptation rights of TV episodes, as long as the price is not too excessive, spend more, but if there is liquidated damages, it should be set a little higher, and he will choose between two plans, 50 million US dollars or half of the box office of the movie." Some literati are still very thieves and have no credit, and maybe they will play some tricks, so we have to bury the sleeve for him first. ”

The two chatted a few more words, and Li Lu suddenly thought that there was still a job he hadn't said: "Mr. Mo." I already have an eyebrow on the house you're looking for, and there are two villas for sale in Beverly Hills, which are said to be the owner's loan owed to the bank and can't be replaced. Then the bank will collect it to be auctioned, and the price of this kind of house is relatively reasonable, you see if it is taken down; I also looked at more than a dozen apartments, the Beverly Hills ones are a little more expensive, and the Los Angeles ones are relatively cheap, but the houses in these cities are not cheap, and they don't encounter big economic ups and downs. Generally, it will not be cheap.

However, there are two apartments in the whole building used as a photography base that are very cheap, and one is a large apartment with 19 floors and more than 50 households. The location is close to the suburbs, only about $4 million; The other building is in the urban area, with 22 floors of large and small units, a total of more than 140 households. There is also a park next to it. Because the whole was liquidated by the bank, the price was only eight million; I think we can buy the whole apartment and clean it up for the actors, anyway, it doesn't take so much to make a film for interior scenes, just separate the men and women, we can manage it easily, and it will be easier for us to deal with the media. ”

"Huh. Lao Li, you really save money. Mo Fei was also amused by Li Lu, and estimated that he thought of the apartment that Beverly Hills could buy for hundreds of thousands of dollars. These millions of buildings are very cheap, how can they be willing to buy high-priced apartments for the actors to live in, this old thinking must be changed.

"Lao Li, we haven't done this in Hong Kong, and we can't do it in the United States, this is a matter of the company's image, originally we wanted to do something that Americans don't have, to provide apartments for signed artists, but in the end it was so stingy, maybe it would be counterproductive.

Artists are all adults, everyone has their own lives, they have their own privacy, so many acquaintances don't look up every day, this will also cause trouble. Let's talk about economic issues, Lao Li, think about it, if we buy these two apartment buildings, one part of them is used as an interior scenery base, and the other part is rented to those ordinary citizens, and there is often the opportunity to meet stars, I think many fans will rush to rent. If we had opened up the interior set to tenants once in a while, the rent would have been very popular even if it was a little higher, and that little money would have paid back quickly.

Another point, if the apartment is rented out to the outside world, and there are these measures and conditions, there will be more young actors who have just debuted here, which can also bring us great convenience for selecting actors in the future. ”

Li Lu slapped his thigh and praised: "Mr. Mo, your idea is really good, it's just a lot of work." When you say this, I also think that if we can have a few reporters live in, then we can leave some loopholes when we make new films in the future, and they will naturally leak the news, and they can help us a lot in publicity. ”

"I think this method can work, Lao Li, you just do it, in two days I will have people transfer the money to the account, you can handle it yourself, that is, reporters must be careful at this point, and don't strengthen security measures, don't let any crazy fans or the like come in." This is also an unconscious master, who has the ability to draw inferences at any time, so he is absolutely at ease with Li Lu.

In the past two years, the release of Phoenix Culture's films has made a lot of money, and Columbia has also attached great importance to this film. 1,200 screens were taken out, and a lot of effort and money were spent on publicity, and even Bruce Willis's fame was raised by this promotion.

The premiere of "Lethal Weapon" this time has made a lot of preparations, not only to have a grand premiere to promote the film, but also to make a good advertisement for the upcoming "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", of course, the upcoming drama "Coastal Lifeguard" can not miss the opportunity.

The effect of the powerful publicity is that the outside of the premiere theater is crowded with media and fans, and the fans and journalists who are here today will definitely feel extremely satisfied, and the amount of information should not be too large.

Colombia's face is not to be said, Dustin Hoffman, Sigourney Weaver, Morgan Freeman and other local stars came to more than 30 people, provoking bursts of cheers from the audience outside the stadium. When the crew of "Lethal Weapon" appeared under the leadership of director Kathryn Bigelow, it attracted a lot of applause, and the power of the national hero Bruce is not covered, and the whole crew is now counting his biggest cards and becoming popular.

Next up are Rouge and Pierce Brosnan, a strange combination. What does this mean, isn't red Mo Fei's gossip girlfriend, how can he appear with another person today. Whether it was a change of heart or something else, people's interest was immediately aroused.

"Oh, there's no such thing, Pierce and I can only be friends, we're going to collaborate on a movie next, and we happened to meet together today, so we made an appointment to talk about movies." This arrangement really worked. The reporters immediately took the bait, in fact, even if the reporters saw a problem, they would definitely ask it. This kind of procedure is a dead problem with no solution.

"What kind of movie is it, can you tell a little bit about it, you know that there are a lot of fans of you in the United States, and everyone must want to know." Journalists, of course, will not settle for one answer. Otherwise, how can you be called a journalist?

Honggu pretended to be worried. turned his head to look at the end of the red carpet not far away, and found that there was no one there, so he turned back to answer the reporter's question: "It is a comedy action movie that counts the style of oriental kung fu, telling the story of a couple who hide their identities from each other, how to go from initial distrust to the final life and death together." That's all I can say, you know the producer is here today, and he's coming soon. ”

Honggu's expression caused everyone to laugh, who doesn't know the relationship between her and Mo Fei. As one of Mo Fei's rumored girlfriends, she is also the most popular actress in Phoenix Culture. She just told the whole plot, so it wouldn't be good, so it's just a joke.

It's good to get a little more news, although there are a lot of reporters present, but it's better than not getting anything, and there will be a lot of things from his mouth.

But it can't be finished for so long, Zhong Chuhong can't interview Pierce Brosnan, his appearance here today is a big news.

"Brosnan, if I'm not mistaken, you should still be on the NBC crew of "Steele", MGM's previous request to invite you to shoot "007" has not been possible, what prompted NBC to be willing to cooperate this time?"

Brosnan shrugged: "Actually, the reason is very simple, Mr. Mo and NBC are also partners, and it won't be long before the audience can see the TV series of Phoenix Culture on NBC." There are some things that are easy to talk about between two or partners, and I, as an actor, of course, follow the contractual arrangement. ”

It turns out that Phoenix Culture and NBC are partners, and they have begun to cooperate with NBC on TV series, this is the most important news today, the reporter was about to open up this question, and found that someone appeared on the red carpet again, so he had to hold back the words. Fortunately, the one who appeared later was Mo Fei himself, and he should have answered some questions better.

Mo Fei appeared, not one person, not two people, but five people appeared together, none of them were rare except him, and four beauties surrounded him in the middle. What kind of treatment is this Nima, it's too happy, the scene was suddenly sensational, I haven't seen this phenomenon before.

Mo Fei walked on the red carpet with four beauties, and when he got to the time when the reporters gathered, he took the initiative to stop and walk over, today is to do publicity, how can you give you publicity if you don't cooperate with reporters.

"Oh, I bet you must be the happiest person in Los Angeles today, so let's talk about how you feel now." Journalists are really good at finding topics.

Mo Fei's words have been thought of a long time ago: "To tell you the truth, I feel a lot of pressure, each of them is very good, I don't know what to choose next, how to make a decision." ”

Without waiting for the reporter to continue to ask questions, and without waiting for other people to have doubts, Mo Fei continued: "Actually, this is the case, Phoenix Culture has recently produced a youth series of dramas, and the four of them are the four heroines in the play, originally if the series continues to be filmed, it is necessary to change some of the protagonists, but their performances are quite good, I am worried that replacing any of them will cause dissatisfaction among the audience, so it is really difficult for me to choose." ”

"It's a blissful annoyance, and if it were me, I wouldn't be able to decide." The reporter's envy is real, but work is also very important, so he immediately put away his envy and continued to ask: "Mr. Mo Fei, are you talking about the series that cooperated with NBC, can there be so many beautiful women starring together, this film has aroused my interest, can you tell me?" ”

"Well......, well, if I don't say something, it seems a little out of place." Mo Fei hesitated a little and said: "Let me introduce these five beautiful girls first, Liu Mujun is an actor of Phoenix Culture Hong Kong, Miriam Soto, and Famick Jensen are all actors of Phoenix Culture America, and Cindy Crawford is an actor of Phoenix Culture America and is also a model. In the play, they are all members of the Coastal Lifeguard Team, and this film revolves around the story between them and several other male lifeguards, covering love, family, friendship, career, life, family and other aspects......"

Could it be that the plot was briefly introduced, now that the film has been sent to NBC to start scheduling, I am not afraid that others will take this idea to remake it, Xu Haixing in Hong Kong, it is illegal in the United States, and it is very likely that a lawsuit will be fought and the family will go bankrupt.

The reporters were very concerned about the structure of this series, and of course there were other questions next, and they didn't give Mo Fei a chance to leave at all, and immediately another reporter stood up and asked: "Mr. Mo Fei, about Pierce Brosnan's role in Phoenix Culture's new film, is there insider trading, or which side of the compromise between Phoenix Culture and NBC?" ”

Although the question is not very popular, but it is also very good, Mo Fei smiled and said: "Hey, do you already know the news, it seems that the confidentiality work of Phoenix Culture is not in place." There is no question you mentioned at all, Phoenix Culture and NBC are good partners, Pierce was able to star in this movie because there was no conflict between this TV and his contract, and NBC was also willing to provide more opportunities for actors, so we hit it off. ”

"But MGM has also negotiated with NBC about Brosnan's film contract before, and the conditions given by NBC at that time were very harsh, how can Phoenix Culture's new film pass those conditions?"

"I don't know much about this, I don't know what conditions MGM was facing at the time, so I really can't answer your question. But I believe that there must be something inappropriate in this, such as role chong and the like, you should know that sometimes an actor is also a gamble when choosing a role, and it is likely to ruin his career because of a role, so it is necessary to be cautious. ”

(There are 5,000 words left, I'll have to wait a while, and I'm sure I'll be more tonight.) (To be continued......)
