Chapter 294: Transformers

"What? "Transformers"? ”

Paul was stunned, completely confused about what was happening.

Of course, this is understandable, including Daniel himself, who was also taken aback by his own thoughts. See Paul. Walker talked about the light in Porsche's eyes, and he immediately felt that it was a good decision to let him play "Transformers". LaBeouf doesn't have that temperament, and when he's with a bunch of Autobots, he lacks that exciting vibe.

Perhaps, Paul. Walker fits perfectly.

Daniel increasingly felt that the idea was worth trying, at least, if Paul was going to give it a try, if Daniel was going to invite Michael. Bey's words, want to completely bypass him to decide on the male lead - although this male lead is not so important, but it is also unlikely.

Give it a try, and no one will suffer, will they?

As for the copyright of "Transformers", he previously invested 200 million in Daniel's investment department to authorize Melissa and Ferguson to acquire potential copyrights, and "Transformers" was the target he personally determined. DD Pictures spent a lot of money and already pocketed it. Compared with the special forces, there are still relatively few people who look at Transformers, and few people can see the box office potential of these Autobots, of course, Hasbro's determination to monetize it is very strong, and since the new century, with the Transformers toys being marketed around the world, there are many people who pay attention to it. It's just that Hasbro has always asked to participate in the interests of the movie, and as a large company, they don't seem to care too much about the money from selling the copyright.

By the time Melissa found Hasbro's CEO Brian and decided to spend 40 million to buy out the film adaptation rights of the "Transformers" series, the other party's resolute disagreement just now became fragmented. 40 million US dollars to buy the adaptation rights, at this time, it is indeed a super generous amount. But Daniel certainly prefers a buyout to the gains – when they still want to. After all, no one knew that "Transformers" would sell so well, and even leave a name in film history, and the huge price offer could indeed give Hasbro's management a shocking education. Plus, they have a "more valuable" series of special forces.

So, in the end, Daniel got his way - even though he paid 40 million to buy the film adaptation rights to a toy series was something that the rest of Daniel's team couldn't understand.

Daniel holds the rights to adapt "Transformers", but he has not been able to start producing it. One is that the current technical level is limited, and the other is, of course, it has not yet been in time, and it is true that DD Pictures is still a little short to produce a movie of this level, after all, it is an investment of more than 100 million. Even for works with more than 150 million yuan, it is very dangerous for DD Pictures to get started without inexperience.

Thinking about stopping, Daniel changed his mind, but he didn't say it explicitly.

"Oh, I suddenly remembered, yours is your daughter, she prefers Barbie dolls, doesn't she?"

Paul looked at Daniel suspiciously, but couldn't really guess what was going on in his mind, just shook his head.

"She does like Transformers. Weird, isn't it? I also find it strange. ”

Daniel pouted, he knew that Paul and his girlfriend were separated, the other party moved to Hawaii after giving birth to a child, and Paul has been living in Santa Barbara, Los Angeles.

……

Chatting with old friends is indeed a rare pastime for Daniel.

"Danny, you should rest more. You have so much money that you should learn to enjoy it, buy a yacht and sell it for an island in the Caribbean or the Pacific. There should be snow-white sand, coconut palms ......"

Sitting across from Daniel now was a woman with a glossy face—not a glossy glow, but a unique glow that belonged only to a new mother, with a hint of laziness, sweetness, and so on.

Andy. Damon.

Daniel's former assistant had previously given birth to her and Fred's eldest son, named Lance, a name with a beautiful meaning. Now Andy is bathed in the happiness and sweetness of being a mother, and the advice he made to Daniel is also invaded by this emotion.

Yachts, sandy beaches, coconut palms, sea water...... Dream!

Daniel just glanced at her. Didn't say anything.

Now he himself has a lot less action, but Raymond, including Davy, and of course the collaborators within MGM, everyone is busy flying fast, and Cork quickly decides with his board of directors who to sell MGM to, whether it will be the newborn calf DD Pictures or the veteran Camel Sony consortium. So the work is very big, and although Daniel doesn't have to go out and run, he has a lot of things to decide.

What's more, in addition to this most important acquisition, he also has a lot of other jobs, those idle and beautiful fantasies, he still goes as far as he wants.

Andy came over today, in addition to some things in the Mountain Eagle Company, it is also about the time for a mother who is trapped by her child.

So she wasn't in a hurry to leave, and after Sally took over her work, the workload suddenly increased, which made her feel very happy. The hand rummaged in and looked west, and his expression was relaxed, like those vicious women who got out of their heavy work, married a woman to be a full-time wife, and then pretended to say "every day is boring" in front of their former colleagues.

"Black Swan?"

Andy picked up the script of "Black Swan", but read it with relish, she read the script very quickly, and the kung fu she practiced back then has not been put down.

"What do you think?"

"Well...... The script is pretty good, but I always feel a little familiar. Andy frowned.

Daniel was stunned, "Familiar? Have you seen anything about it? ”

"It seems to be, but it doesn't seem to be, ballet—I don't remember please, but I just think the story is familiar."

With a grunt, Daniel realized his mistake. Because he remembered "Black Swan" deeply, he wrote it directly, and it stands to reason that this film will not be released until five years later, and it is unlikely that there will be a finished script now. So he didn't think much about it. If Andy remembers correctly, something is wrong.

The script has been read by quite a few people, including David. Finch and Natalie. Portman.

Frowning, Daniel thought for a moment and called Ferguson.

"You go get to know a guy named Andres. Hines is a screenwriter and another named Darren. Aronofsky's new director, the latter one is Rachel. Vichy's fiancé, see if they have a script similar to "Black Swan", it shouldn't be a ballet, it may be an opera or a stage play, a musical or something, but the story synopsis is similar. ”

There was almost a big problem, and if it was filmed so loudly, and the rights to similar scripts were still in someone else's hands - then Daniel would be hell. (To be continued.)
