Tommy didn't clap his hands vigorously until Rick Luthor on the other side had finished all the things he wanted to say, and he himself had carefully read the documents Rick handed over to him, and then stood up a little excitedly, pointed his finger at himself, the vice president of programming and production who had previously worked at a small film company, and happily shouted to the red-haired and curly-haired guy:

"Rick, I knew you were a genius producer, you knew what we needed! This episode is proof of that! ”

The voice was so loud that even Paige and Sophia, who were outside the conference room, heard Tommy's happy voice, and they were a little stunned, not understanding what Rick said to Tommy that would make him so happy.

Sophia knew that Tommy hadn't really laughed in a long time, and that the guy was getting richer, but at the same time, he was getting more and more silent.

Most of the time, when he's done at the company and attending some unavoidable board meeting, Tommy spends his time reading the newspaper in silence in the office, staring at the map of America in the office when he needs to relax, and no one knows which state his soul has drifted to at that moment.

Even back at her quarters, Sophia knew what Tommy would do, swim three miles for years, do some aerobic exercise with a fitness instructor, and go to his study, which was bigger than many families' living rooms, watch TV, read books, and stare at the walls in a daze.

No one but herself, Otilia, and Dorothy, who was in charge of the cleaning, could enter the study and see the imposing walls.

On that wall, covered in a large, detailed map of the United States, so sophisticated that even a small city like Warwick would be ready to be marked on the map.

Of course, in addition to the map, there are more than 100 magnets that Tommy has pasted on it, and more than 100 magnets that are spread all over the territory of the United States, and the magnets that should have marked the text are all blank.

So even if Sophia often goes in and out of Tommy's study, she doesn't know what the magnets Tommy puts on the map represent, and what kind of charm that map can make Tommy enjoy it for at least half an hour every night before going to sleep, and it is likely that Otilia does not have that map to attract Tommy.

After following Tommy for so long, she was sure that at this moment, Tommy's happiness with Rick was the kind that came from the bottom of her heart, pure happiness.

It also makes Sophia more and more curious about what Rick said to Tommy to make this bastard who is always mature enough to ignore his real age and smile like a happy child.

"Mr. Page, go and ask what they're doing, it's too loud, please be quiet." Sophia looked at Paige, who frowned slightly at the side, and was also curious about why her boss was happy, and said.

Page cast his eyes on Sophia, which were slightly cloudy on the surface but could see through everything: "Miss O'Connor, if you are curious, you can find out the truth yourself, the boss can tolerate everything about you, but he will never be soft on deducting my salary." ”

"If Martin is here, he will definitely help me ......" Sophia was seen through the little trick by Page, rolled her eyes cutely, and then walked to the conference room by herself, knocked on the door gently, and then pushed it open, smiled at the two people inside and asked:

"Do you need to get the girls from the administration office to refill your coffee? I'm having a great time hearing you guys talking outside. ”

"Rick can't just get a cup of coffee, I said, he's a genius." Tommy happily picked up the document and smiled smugly at Sophia: "Look at the series he and his team designed for BT TV, I know that he knows how to figure out the real needs of the boss." ”

"How to Marry a Millionaire?" Sophia picked up the information and looked through it, but she didn't find anything that made Tommy so happy, and looked at the two suspiciously: "I know that BT TV is preparing a sitcom, but I didn't expect it to be "How to Marry a Millionaire"? If I'm not mistaken, Marilyn Monroe made a comedy movie of the same name, so I want to buy the film rights to adapt it? That's a lot of money. ”

"The movie was released in 1953, but in fact I checked it carefully, the original book was published in 1930, and the author died shortly after the release of the film, and the copyright has entered the public copyright pool, and we can use it as we please." Rick excitedly introduced Sophia at the moment.

Sophia, a law school graduate, was quick to point out the problem with Rick's words: "But the U.S. Copyright Act requires that a work cannot enter the public copyright pool until fifty years after the author's death. ”

"That's for the American citizen, Miss O'Connor, the author is a Greek in the United States, and has never been a citizen of the United States, so the author should rely on the International Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works to protect his copyright, unfortunately, that international convention was introduced in 1886, but the United States has not ratified the Berne Convention in the United States, which is also the loophole I found." Rick looked at Sophia:

"I consulted a lawyer privately and got a positive answer, yes, we don't need to pay the original author's family, we can directly adapt this love deception and adventure of the original three white girls into three poor black girls, borrow money from the bank and disguise themselves as celebrities, help each other, and finally successfully marry a rich man and change their fate."

"You're happy because someone on the TV station finally knows what to do to please you and the black audience at the bottom?" Sophia sighed, and after listening to Rick's words, she immediately understood why Tommy was happy.

Whether it's "NiggerBoss" or "Looking for Daddy America", or even other self-made shows in production, either Tommy's own gimmick, or Tommy's heart is not interested at all and will never watch the show, and the idea of this sitcom at this moment, the reason why Tommy is happy is because Rick found a loophole to save a lot of royalties, and it can also rub the gimmick of Marilyn Monroe, and finally, this show sounds really suitable for those low-level black people to enjoy, through the gimmick of romantic comedy, In fact, you want to brainwash those audiences and change your fate, you can also borrow a lot of money from the bank to package yourself like the three heroines, and maybe you can meet a rich man tomorrow.

But if they meet rich people, Sophia doesn't know, but if they want to borrow money, they will definitely meet Tommy's KeyBank.

Rick thinks so thoroughly about this project, which should be why Tommy is happy.

"No!" Tommy's judgment of Sophia gives a negative answer.

Sophia looked at Tommy suspiciously, "No? ”

"I'm happy because we can hold a beautiful black woman and declare that she is the Marilyn Monroe of black people." Tommy said hypocritically:

"My black brothers, I need a goddess of the same skin color as myself."
