"Hope to see you in Los Angeles soon."

Daniel and Stephanie. Mel confirmed the intention to cooperate, and the next signing and negotiation of specific terms required Mel to go to Los Angeles, and the script of "Twilight" also needed Mel's involvement. Although Daniel promised to invite a female screenwriter to take on the screenwriting role, it is still uncertain who will be chosen.

Little Airy was no longer as inhibited as he had been, standing in front of his parents and looking at Daniel reluctantly, he was still too young to be surprised that the characters in his mother's DVDs suddenly ran into the real world - but soon, the child's innocence made him like this beautiful and kind brother.

"Airy can go with his mom to Los Angeles, which has a big Disneyland with Mickey Mouse and Dumbo."

Squeezing Little Airy's hand, Daniel turned around and got into the car and left Banyan Town, a small city far quieter than Los Angeles.

……

"Mom, can we go to Disneyland?"

Disney California is also a place for children in the United States, at least not Alley and his siblings.

"Of course, if you want to."

Mel and Christian are going to Los Angeles together, so the three children who are only 10 years old will of course go together. When you arrive in Los Angeles, Disney is of course a must-visit place for families with multiple children.

"Remarkable person, isn't it?"

The three children had already run to unpack the gifts Daniel had brought, Mel was packing up his coffee cups and snacks, and Christian was pouring himself a glass of boiled water, talking to Mel.

"Of course, otherwise there are so many actors, why is he the only one who has achieved such incredible achievements."

Apparently. Daniel's sincerity, thoughtfulness, thoughtfulness, and attitude toward Mel's family members in the negotiation of the matter can be indicative of his excellence - perhaps a "deep thought" sign, but Mel and Christian understand. You can't expect everyone in the world to be upright, and usually if someone else's intentions are not malicious, but just to make the cooperation smoother, then there is no blame.

"Giving Daniel Twilight is probably the most reassuring choice for us."

"Twilight" is unusual for Mel and Christian. When Mel, who is in a deep love crisis, decides to write this story, it is initially in their own image - Christian as a teenager, a baseball player at school. Hoping to be a decent, well-developed financial practitioner in a big city, but for the sake of his family, he had to choose to stay in a small town in Phoenix and do an ordinary job that didn't pay too much, while enduring his lean body gradually being replaced by a bulging lower abdomen, and she, a language major. I once dreamed of becoming a writer, but I was depressed and sad in the day-to-day life of my stay-at-home wife. Then the story of "Twilight" appeared in a dream. A new imagination has been injected into this increasingly banal and ambiguous love.

For them, "Twilight" is, in a way, a symbol of their love.

So, finding a good producer for her is crucial for Mel.

DD Pictures' furious performance this summer. Apparently enough to generate more confidence in them. Both Mel and Christian understand that "Twilight" is just a romance novel, and it does not have "Da. The mystical charm of The Vinci Code, not to mention the grandeur of The Lord of the Rings, no one would want to invest more than 100 million in this genre. So how to make a work that satisfies most people on a budget. It's a big challenge, and not all studios, including some of the larger studios, are able to do it. DD Pictures has used its performance over the past few years to raise the success rate guarantee to the highest level.

This is the most important reason why they are so happy to agree.

……

Soon, in the field of film public opinion, the news that DD Pictures won the copyright of "Twilight" was transmitted.

A lot of companies are the protagonists.

Needless to say, Paramount, which has just let go, Summit Entertainment, which was the first to get accurate news, and Lionsgate, a giant in the field of independent studios, have all proposed or approached the book.

Paramount Senior Vice President Rob. Moore, when he heard the news, Daniel's youthful face flashed in front of him, and in the MPAA conference room, he stood up, his face was cold and resolute to state his opinion, and all the other top Hollywood figures were in the shadows.

Moore was memorized by that image, as he represented Brad. Gray wasn't the only one to attend the MPAA, but only once with Daniel. However, it was this time that Moore was left with an indelible impression.

It was a sharp, brilliant figure.

Moore asked his assistant to bring the original manuscript of "The Twilight Saga," and he read it once, and although it was not a close reading from beginning to end, it was a not-so-surprising love story, and it might have some appeal to young audiences, especially women—but not necessarily, who knows if this pale-skinned vampire is to women's tastes? I heard that Warner was working on a sensual blockbuster "Starba Warriors". Fassbinder, David. Wenhan and Gerald. Butler, all muscular men -- maybe that's the popular taste these days.

Moore tried to convince himself that Paramount hadn't made a mistake — they had more projects that were worth investing in.

"Whew."

Throw the book on the table.

All this self-explanation, when thinking of the news of Summit Entertainment, all seem vulnerable.

Daniel personally brought Melissa Brown, chief content officer of DD Pictures and senior vice president of MGM Pictures. Ryan traveled to Phoenix to visit the author of "Twilight" and her family, and the two sides talked for nearly an afternoon and reached a cooperation agreement.

What was the IP Daniel wanted to win last time?

"Da. The Vinci Code!

The global box office has exceeded 700 million.

Last time, I shared the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series with Disney, and the North American box office has exceeded 200 million, and it is rushing towards 300 million, or even 400 million.

Others, such as "Saw Horror" and "Greek Wedding", have legends about how Daniel skillfully intervened, but unfortunately none of them have been confirmed.

Which one will Twilight be this time?

Rob. Moore couldn't deceive the anxiety in his heart, and he was sure that Brad. The same is true of Gray, and how many people in Hollywood are reading the novel and trying to analyze why Daniel is bullish on it, some may not be self-consciously predicting the future box office of the film.

"It's a headache."

……

"Mel, to be honest, if you plan to go back on finding another buyer now, the price may go up significantly." Toll, a Hollywood-based copyright lawyer, is the daughter of Stephanie. The Mels were hired to close the agreement proposed by DD Pictures.

It's just that this lawyer seems to want to challenge some conventional rules.

In the United States, lawyers can do anything legal for money – but not necessarily ethically. For murderers, for billionaires, for unscrupulous corporations – as long as the price is high, no matter what they do to challenge shared values, lawyers will do everything in their power to help them get away with their crimes, reduce their compensation, and even exonerate them completely. This is something that American lawyers are proud of, and it is what makes the profession of lawyer notorious.

However, the fact that lawyers in the United States often collude with political circles has provided them with favorable conditions - so much so that they are able to present this phenomenon as a sign that the United States is a society governed by the rule of law, and the frequent examples of civilians demanding large reparations from some of their most cohesive adversaries - have helped to shape the profession as one of the most desirable professions for Americans.

But that doesn't mean lawyers can be completely unscrupulous.

In Hollywood, at least, copyright lawyers are careful to follow their professional ethics, and when the parties have reached an agreement, the lawyer's job is only to prevent their clients from encountering legal traps or harming their subsequent interests. However, it does not include encouraging employers to renounce their contracts.

"Why do you say that?"

"Don't you know?" Tur looked surprised, "I thought at least DD would tell you about the situation. ”

"No, they didn't say anything." Mel and Christian looked at each other, "Can you tell me what happened?" ”

"Ahem, yes, after DD Pictures got your initial cooperation agreement, there are a lot of Hollywood now, quite a few studios are interested in "Twilight". You probably don't know either, Daniel. Sandler's DD Pictures has never made a loss-making film in the past few years. This makes other companies have a blind trust in DD - the project that DD chooses is definitely the one that can make money. Even giants like Warner, Disney, and Paramount are sometimes skeptical of this assertion, let alone smaller studios. So, this gives you a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to talk to other companies and get a higher price if they're willing to pay you a penalty. ”

"It's impossible, you see the agreement, the liquidated damages are three times the amount of the agreement!"

"No, no, no, you're just agreeing on a preliminary agreement, and a preliminary price -- that's not the final price, and the court won't support it."

Turr felt that Mel and her husband seemed to be shaken, and he intensified his efforts.

"I know a lot of people in Hollywood, and if you want to, I can arrange it for you, and it doesn't hurt to have a talk, right?"

“…… Let's think about it. (To be continued.) )
