This is very interesting, it took a lot of effort to get the commercial value barely comparable to the Harry Potter series, and the film copyright of the novel was obtained, but there was no investment in production at the first time, and there was not even preparation, is it just fun to buy it?

Of course not, Sean naturally has his own considerations for doing this, you must know that there are many reasons why a novel can be a big hit after being adapted into a movie, such as not being well made, no matter how good the novel is, it can't make the movie popular.

Sometimes, it may be that a small detail is not in place, and it can lead to things going badly. Therefore, Sean needs to take the time to carefully recall how the series exploded among teenagers in his previous life.

After all, the quality of this series is related to the development of Tang's Pictures, and whether his plans can go smoothly, so it's always right to be careful.

What's more, this can also ferment the novel to a greater extent, you must know that although the first volume of "Twilight" was on the New York Times bestseller list, it was in the category of children's literature.

Sean doesn't expect the series to sell outside of North America right now, in fact it won't be possible until the movie is released and a big hit, but it's also a good idea to allow some time for the book to be seen by more people and go to theaters later.

Moreover, even if filming starts now, it may not be released at the end of the year, unless it is a shoddy work. So since the release schedule is scheduled for next year, why not wait a little now, of course, he doesn't plan to use the "original cast" to shoot, at least a few main roles.

That's where the production company is at the moment - oh, and one more thing I forgot to say, Vladimir gave Sean a surprise, a very big surprise, he signed a film contract with Marvel Comics. To put it simply, Samsara Pictures will shoot as many movies as many movies as Marvel Comics in a few years, and the copyright is basically owned by Marvel, but Samsara Pictures enjoys various shares, and has the right to choose the comic characters they want to shoot, and also has the distribution rights to some DVDs, and this contract will not be invalidated because Marvel Comics is acquired.

The latter article was added at Sean's request, even if his memory is fragmented, he remembers that Marvel Comics was acquired by Disney at the very least, so this article was added to prevent Disney from turning his face and not admitting it at that time. After all, no one will be like him, knowing how far the Marvel Cinematic Universe series will develop after the Marvel Comics.

Of course, such a contract is not enough to prevent Disney from defaulting on its debts, and it will definitely be asked to renegotiate at that time, which is not a small profit. But there is such a contract that will be said to die, Disney has to weigh it even if it wants to break the contract, not to mention that Sean is not greedy, he did not monopolize the film copyright, but just asked for the distribution rights of DVDs. However, he really didn't expect Vladimir to get to this point and actually catch the express train of Marvel Comics.

After some careful questioning, Sean understood, first of all, this plan is very familiar, right? That's right, it's a remake of the agreement between Legendary Pictures and Warner. It's just that Legendary Pictures is backed by Wall Street and has the ability to bargain with Warner, while Reincarnation Pictures has a relatively weak foundation and can only negotiate with Marvel Comics, which also has little capital.

That's right, the current Marvel comics are not the Marvel comics that will flourish in Hollywood a few years later, don't look at the "Spider-Man" series and the "X-Men" series have made a lot of money, but they are not distributed much, and the copyrights have been sold. Because of this, seeing that his superhero was a big hit, he was surprised and set up his own film company to try.

It's a pity that not many people are optimistic about them at this time, and although Marvel successfully financed Wall Street in the form of mortgage comic book characters, and spent effort to design a nearly complete Marvel comic book movie universe, he still has no bottom in his heart. At this time, Reincarnation Pictures reached out and the conditions given were not harsh, so they were naturally grateful to the other party, and agreed without hesitation.

"I was just thinking that since Spider-Man and X-Men are both selling well, the other comic book characters of Marvel should also have their own value, they just need to be carefully selected and made." That's what Vladimir said.

Sean knew what he meant, "Fantastic Four" and "Daredevil", the latter is a tragedy, so that Ben, who is already very tragic? Affleck is even more tragic, while the former has a low reputation because the plot is too bloated and the pace is relatively slow. However, even so, the latter still did quite well at the box office, enough for Fox to make a sequel, although the problem did not improve, and the box office of the next film was not optimistic.

Sean, who understood this, was once again glad in his heart, and there were not many people who could see these and grasp the main points of this, and make corresponding decisions and actions when he said that Vladimir was moved.

Of course, Vladimir is also glad, fortunately, he stayed on impulse, and there are actually many people who can see this, but it is not easy for them to make decisions and take action, there are too many constraints.

is also Sean generous, still has the same vision, is willing to delegate power, and can withstand pressure, otherwise, even if he is the CEO, as long as the board of directors opposes it, he can only give up.

Not to mention this, since he got such a good opportunity, Sean will definitely follow up and choose well. With Marvel Comics, plus some things in the plan, Reincarnation Pictures will naturally go to the next level.

Because of this, it is inevitable that there will be a few complaints when being dragged to a party by Frederick.

"I didn't have a nomination this year, so does it make sense to come to these PR parties?" He said to his agent.

Before Sean returned from London, this year's Oscar nominees were out, and he didn't have any nominations because only one commercial film was released last year.

However, this list still attracts a lot of attention, and many familiar names are on it, such as George? Clooney was nominated for both Best Director and Best Supporting Actor, and the film he produced was also nominated for Best Picture, and it looks like he is going to take a golden man anyway.

And then, Rachel, with whom he had ****** or how many nights of stands? Vichy, nominated for Best Supporting Actress again this year, maybe she can get it this year, but it's not necessarily, after all...... She'd rolled over the sheets with Sean.

And then there is "Crash", which was optimistic at the beginning, but failed to get the distribution rights, which is a pity, if it had been faster, Samsara Pictures would have the first film to be nominated for an Oscar, or even award-winning.

And the biggest opponent of "Crash" is the gay movie "Brokeback Mountain", the director of this film, Ang Lee, will also become the first Chinese to win the Oscar for Best Director - for this, Sean still remembers very well.

He was not interested in commenting on Ang Lee, but he almost played a role in "Brokeback Mountain", maybe because of his fame, maybe because of that little Chinese ancestry, Ang Lee sent an invitation before filming started in 04, but after thinking about it again, Sean still declined.

This role may allow him to be nominated again, but the chances of winning the award are very small, without him, the qualifications are not enough, even if he has already been nominated twice? Peter? Otto has been nominated seven or eight times, and it is not for nothing. Therefore, even if playing a gay can add points, it must be done at the right time.

The topic comes back to the party, since there are no nominations, then this kind of party with a PR nature can not be attended, Sean has not had much time to come back, instead of spending on this, it is better to spend a while with the little guy Alexander, or coax Katie more.

But Frederick insisted that he come: "You wouldn't be uninterested in the statuette, would you?" In that case, why should you miss these occasions? You also know that if you want to win an award, the factor of a good role only accounts for 50 to 60% at most, and the rest depends on the judges' perception and mood, and to win their favor, the usual accumulation is essential! ”

All in all, take advantage of every opportunity you can meet to deepen your good impression in their eyes. Those who already have a good impression should gain more favor, those who are neutral should be drawn to their side, and those who have a bad feeling for themselves should try to be transformed.

So, Sean had no choice but to come, even if he was now among the superstars, not to the point where he could ignore these people. As for the net worth of 2 billion, it is one of the few people in Hollywood, but how much does it have to do with the entertainment industry? In other words, if his industry is all over Hollywood, these people have to rely on him for food, and naturally they can have whatever they want, but now he doesn't, then lowering his profile is a must.

I really wish I could develop faster. Sean thought so when greeting the familiar and unfamiliar at a party.

In the merger of UPN and WB, he can only do his best, and no one can guarantee that the result is what he wants, so the key is how to develop more quickly in the projects he invests in. Google won't talk about it, he has quit the board, and they can help with the small things, the big ones...... And it's only limited to web searches. Facebook's active users continue to grow steadily, so don't worry at all, but it still has little to do with Hollywood.

The most important thing is YouTube, an online video site, on which Neil has put considerable effort and achieved considerable results. Especially after Sean published a self-defense video on it and passed a million views, Neil made a lot of hype, and the name of YouTube spread all over the world, plus it was very easy to get started, and you can freely upload the video you want to upload, so it quickly became popular.

Sean doesn't know how many hits on YouTube are now in his previous life, but his intuition tells him that there are definitely not as many as they are now, and in this way, online video sites have had a very big impact on traditional media, or traditional TV media. In fact, UPN and WB will go all the way to discuss a merger, and the rapid development of YouTube has played a role in some of the promotion, and the biggest threat to TV media will only be online viewing.
