Chapter 386: Buyout
When a group of people were showing their talents for Yan Luo's marriage, Yan Luo himself was flying to the United States. You must know that she and Xiao Chenxi's return to China this time was actually behind the school's back, and with the incident she made at the airport, it really attracted a lot of attention, although until now, no school teacher has come out to talk to her, but she and Xiao Chenxi still sneaked back to the United States obediently.
In the two days that Yan Luo was not in the United States, Mary was in a state of indecision.
To say that the reason is still in Yan Luo. Because of the Matrix, the name Forrest Gump became completely popular in the United States, so when Yan Luo's second Vampire Diaries and movie scripts were published, they attracted many readers.
Especially the vampire diary, although Yan Luo added a lot of nonsensical and even irrelevant things to it out of some kind of bad taste, it still can't stop the American people from loving it. If there's one non-scientific kind that the American people love most, it's zombies and vampires! Zombies are meant to be killed, and vampires are meant to be used crookedly. And unlike the Matrix, most of the readers are men with a certain cultural foundation. The Vampire Diaries is very different, men like to read it, and women can't stop it! There are even rare "Damon Gang" and "Stefan Faction", and the two gangs have a huge quarrel over where the heroine should return, just like Yan Luo's four masters and eight masters in their previous lives!
Therefore, the Vampire Diaries was all the rage as soon as it was launched, and the sales were so good that it was about to go in the direction of breaking the record! Compared with the popular Vampire Diaries, the sales of Yan Luo's short story collection of movie scripts can only be said to be tepid.
But the strange thing is that since the release of the two books, many entertainment companies have found Mary, although they have also mentioned that they want to buy the copyright of the Vampire Diaries, but Mary can see clearly, and they still put more ideas on the movie script.
Mary naturally knows that this is because the movie script is a hen that lays eggs, and every story in it can be adapted into a movie in its entirety, which is why these entertainment companies are interested.
But the problem now is that the tepid popularity of this book after publication has become an excuse for these companies to lower prices! Although there are many companies that find her, without exception, these companies offer very low prices!
Hehe, is this bullying her for not understanding anything?
Naturally, Mary rejected them all without hesitation.
But what happened next was not that the companies were forced to raise prices, but that they began to woo her. It's not money, it's not legal or decorous! But they can promise Mary that if she can help them get the rights to the book, then they can shoot the story in the book, and the actors and directors will give her priority!
Think about it, just like Marvel or DC in the previous life, as long as any movies such as Iron Man, Captain America, Batman, and Superman are big hits, then when they shoot new superhero movies, how strong the desire of those directors and actors should be to join in!
So if what these film companies say is true, then wouldn't it mean that there will be a lot of artists under her umbrella, and there will even be no shortage of first-line actors!
This is not a small temptation for Mary!
"Mary, Yan Luo is just a writer from the East. We admit that she is influential in their kingdom, but here she has little to do. So as long as you can help us get the copyright, we will create countless classic movies together in the future! ”
If a company said this to Mary, she would naturally not be easily shaken, but when countless companies were tempting her, she was naturally co-opted! But now the problem is again, it is easy for a company to woo her, and when there are many companies to woo her, she is also embarrassed! Who can tell her which one she should help?
So when Yan Luo returned to the United States, Mary chose to confess to her. She's really driven crazy by those entertainment companies!
"You mean they want to buy me out all at once?"
On the way home from the airport, Mary and Yan Luo sit in a car and discuss their next strategy.
"Dear Yan, they are all a bunch of demons who eat people and don't spit out bones, and they are greedy and ruthless! Now yours has just been published, and the sales are not very good, but its potential is something that everyone can see, so they will come out and buy it at this time! Next, they may try to make a story inside, or they may leave it alone and wait until you are slowly becoming known to everyone! ”
"Anyway, they'll be sure to buy your work at the lowest price now!"
"What if I don't sell?"
Yan Luo asked lightly.
"Oh, you can't do that!"
Mary excitedly advised: "They are not good people, Hollywood has never been a good place!" Don't say you're a foreigner, even if you're a native American and have some influence, these greedy demons won't have the slightest scruple to kill you! ”
"Killed?"
"Certainly not to kill you! I mean they're going to ruin you! They must have the ability to do this, you must know that the right to speak is in their hands, the media and the public are also controlled by them, and even the law can influence them! So the end result is that you may return to China in disgrace, and the copyright will still fall into their hands! ”
"And what do you suggest?"
"You can only choose one or the other!"
Mary shrugged helplessly.
"Let me think about it, I don't think they're going to be so anxious that they need me to make a decision right away, right?"
"They won't, but they're going to make me decide right away."
Mary thought to herself.
Yan Luo's return to the United States also made Mary seem to have found her backbone. When another company found her, she directly told people that she couldn't be the master of this matter, and everything needed to be decided by the author!
It's not that she doesn't want to call the shots, but the risk of being the master is too great, and damaging the interests of her employer will smash her own signboard, and offending other entertainment companies will also bring her a lot of trouble to her future business; Second, Mary firmly believes that in the United States, Yan Luo, who is unfamiliar with life, can only rely on her, so as long as Yan Luo is filmed, it is likely that she will take the biggest advantage! In that case, why would she want to make a difference?
In this case, it didn't take long for Hollywood's giants to find Yan Luo.
