Chapter 485: Go to Hollywood Again
Yan Luo, Ding Shihua and Zhang Keke stayed in their hometown for a week! This week, when the weather is sunny and the wind is beautiful, they will go to Ziwei Mountain Park together to see the scenery; And when the summer rainstorm comes, they will hide at home together, lean against the window to watch the rain together, or hide under the covers together and whisper.
In short, this week, they seem to have regained the feeling of being inseparable day and night, and the beautiful feelings that are indispensable to you have returned to their hearts.
But alas, time waits for no one! In late June, it was the time for Yan Luo and Zhang Keke's final exams, so the three of them only stayed at home for a week before returning to the imperial capital, and then Yan Luo and Zhang Keke buried their heads in intense review, and Ding Shihua also began to choose a new script and prepare his new work!
The time soon came to July, and Yan Luo, who had finished her final exams, ushered in the last summer vacation of her student career! But this summer vacation, like previous summer vacations, is destined to make it impossible for her to do her own things happily.
Because Mary, her economic agent in the United States, contacted her, there are studios that want to adapt her vampire Twilight into a movie!
Counting the days, two years have passed since the publication of this book. In the past two years, it has been very popular in the United States, especially among young people, which has caused a lot of repercussions, which may be why some film companies want to adapt it.
Thinking of himself, Yan Luo suddenly had an idea.
"Sister Qingqing, do you want to go to the United States with me?"
After calling Su Qingqing's phone, Yan Luo asked without a word.
"To the United States? Let me tell you, I'm busy now, I can't be idle every day from morning to night, how can I be free! ”
After listening to Yan Luo's words, Su Qingqing's first feeling was that Yan Luo came to check on the post to see if she was working hard or being lazy, so her lies really came out of her mouth.
"Are you sure? Then I'll go by myself! ”
"Wait, I thought about it and still have to go with you, I'm not worried about you alone!"
That's weird! With Su Qingqing's understanding of Yan Luo, Yan Luo would never have bothered others if she hadn't had something, so she agreed without hesitation.
When the two met at the airport, Su Qingqing thought of asking Yan Luo what happened.
"It's okay! Why do you think there's something wrong with me? ”
Yan Luo felt very incomprehensible about Su Qingqing's unfounded worries and pessimistic consciousness.
"No, there must be something wrong with you! Otherwise why would you want me to accompany you to the United States? Luoluo, who of us is with whom, you can say hello if you have something! ”
You're really righteous enough!
Yan Luo glanced at Su Qingqing helplessly and told her his plans.
After listening to Yan Luo's plan, Su Qingqing opened his eyes wide and asked, "What did you say?" To set up a film production company in Hollywood, to invest in your own film adaptation? ”
"Yes, you heard it right!"
"But do you have that much money?"
"That's why I'm going to take you along!" Yan Luo said as a matter of course.
"But the two of us together don't have much cash to come up with!"
Think about it, the investment in a movie is often hundreds of millions, if you shoot a few more at a time, I am afraid that before the movie is released to recover its cost, she and Yan Luo will already go bankrupt.
"Sister Qingqing, we don't want to invest, we are following the trend of investment, understand?"
"Is there a difference?" Su Qingqing was puzzled.
"It's a big difference! First of all, I'm sure that all of my film adaptations will be big hits, and that's something that a lot of people in Hollywood believe. What does that mean, it means that you can make a lot of money by investing in my films, do you think those big studios might give us a chance? So what we have to do is to invest a part in each movie, accounting for 10 to 20 percent, and it is enough to drink soup with others. In this way, with the two of us, the funds in our hands are more than enough! ”
After listening to Yan Luo's explanation, Su Qingqing suddenly realized. Yes, the United States is a profit-seeking society of capital, and if the two of them want to eat alone, I am afraid that even their lives will be enough. But as the owner, Yan Luo proposed to invest together, accounting for a small proportion, and it is impossible for people to refuse, so that most of the income is earned by those big film companies, but they can also make money and make a lot of money! Of course, the premise is that these movies can really make money as Yan Luo said.
Without thinking too much, Su Qingqing decided to open a company in Hollywood with Yan Luo. She has known Yan Luo for so many years, and she has confidence in Yan Luo, which is one thing; On the other hand, she didn't go to Shencheng Bank to work in the end, so in order to make up for her, Su Qinghe gave her a lot of cash to invest in and acquire the company she wanted, and now this money is still in the bank account and eating poor current interest!
When she arrived in the United States, it was eleven o'clock in the evening, and Mary left first after sending Yan Luo and Su Qingqing to the villa where they were.
Early the next morning, Mary came to the door early. It seems that she really values this adaptation, but she was too tired to watch Yan Luo yesterday, so she dragged it out to today.
"How many companies are interested?"
Yan Luo asked.
"Three! In addition to Disney and Warner, there is also a medium-sized studio, New Line Films, that is interested in your work. ”
"And which one do you lean into?"
"New line! Although this company is not as large as the first two, they give the best conditions, not only the high adaptation fee, but even promise to give you a share of the box office! ”
Mary made no secret of her opinions. In fact, the conditions proposed by the new line are more than these, and they also agree that the male and female protagonists will all be selected from Mary's artists, which is what she is most interested in. Of course, there is no loss for Yan Luo.
"What about Warner and Disney?"
Yan Luo asked again.
"Warner's conditions are similar to the conditions of the last time The Matrix, and as for Disney, it feels like they only came out to stop Warner!"
"Okay, then let's choose Warner!"
Yan Luo quickly made a decision.
"Dear Yan Luo, you can't make such a hasty decision! Obviously, the conditions proposed by the new line are more favorable and can ensure our interests better, why do you have to choose Warner? ”
Mary said urgently.
"It's very simple, we had a good time working together last time. Second, they are the only six giants in Hollywood, how can I let it go and choose a small film company? What's more, I can rest assured that I can ensure the success of the adaptation of my work, so when it comes to the second and third parts, my asking power will naturally increase! ”
"Okay!"
Listening to Yan Luo's words, Mary agreed dejectedly. There is no way, she is just an agent, she only has the right to propose and no decision, not to mention that Yan Luo's decision really makes her unable to refute it. Although you can get the most benefits from handing over the work to the new line, you also need to bear the greatest risk, and in the trade-off, Warner is indeed the best!
