Chapter 849: Petition for Nomination
The company's internal script, which has not yet been transferred to the outside for the time being, was contacted by Thomas, and Carlton Coos and his agent agreed to talk to Thomas first.
Whether it can be negotiated or not is nothing more than a matter of copyright fees.
Carlton Coos is not a rookie screenwriter, but a first-line screenwriter client of MA, although it can't reach the level of a gold screenwriter, but the script is not a few hundred thousand dollars to win.
Martin is willing to spend money on this, and the licensing fee does not exceed two million dollars, and Thomas can call the shots.
Thomas also read the script and reminded him: "Martin, if you play this male lead, you will have to adjust many aspects, and your age is not suitable to be an adult father."
Martin thought for a moment and said, "When we talk about copyright, you can talk about the revision of the script and characters, and make adjustments according to my situation."
Thomas replied, "Under normal circumstances, a screenwriter would not refuse."
Like Martin, who is quite particular, after many film companies buy the copyright of the script, they don't care about the original author's thoughts at all, and they can change it as they want.
Even from the producer to the director to the hero and heroine, as long as the amount is enough, they can give instructions to the script, and the screenwriter only listens.
Scarlett thought for a moment and said, "In order to make your life more comfortable in the future, I will find a way to give some gifts to your new roommate through the prison management."
With hope, he left.
The next day, after all the conditions were negotiated, Martin, on behalf of David Studios, signed an agreement with Carlton Coos for the rights to Doomsday Collapse for $1.5 million.
Scarlett pulled out a cigarette and put it in front of Ryan Reynolds, but didn't give it to him.
Ryan Reynolds, whose face was bruised, was restrained in a chair, looked at Scarlett Johansson opposite, and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Because Martin's bid was not low, MA deliberately promoted it internally, and the negotiations between the two sides went relatively smoothly, and a preliminary agreement was reached in the afternoon of the same day, and Davis Studio bought out the script copyright of "San Andres", that is, "Doomsday Collapse", for $1.5 million.
After more than half an hour, Carlton Coos came to him with his agent, and Martin did not show up, so Thomas contacted them first.
At the same time, screenwriter Carlton Coos also agreed to make appropriate changes to the content of the script and the character setting according to Martin's actual situation.
Because the Fox Group and many leftist organizations did things in private, after he entered the state prison, he arranged a very special cell, not only sleeping in front of the toilet, but also being beaten from time to time.
In fact, Martin is also very interested in the copyright of some old films in Warner Pictures' film library, but the situation that has occurred before has made him have concerns in this regard, and he will wait and see Daniel's side for the time being.
Thomas told the truth: "It's very difficult, the X-Men series is one of Fox's signature movie series, Disney and Marvel have tried to buy back the rights of the X-Men and Fantastic Four several times, but all of them have been rejected by Fox."
According to the agreement, Carlton Coos needs to make changes to the script, and the revisions will be completed by August next year.
The reason why this bastard found Michelle Bryan and did those dirty things with no bottom line is to impress the top management of Fox and make the character of Deadpool a separate film.
It's a pity that he won't have a future in Hollywood, and it's impossible to be with Scarlett anymore.
In the spirit that resources cannot be wasted, Martin said to Thomas, "You go and contact Twentieth Century Fox, the target is Deadpool in the X-Men, and see if you can get permission to adapt the film."
California State Penitentiary, Separate Visitation Room.
When the guard went out, she pulled out a cigarette and lit it, took a hard puff, and spit it on Ryan Reynolds.
Thomas said, "Okay, I'll get in touch with Fawkes."
Scarlett nodded, "No problem."
"You're in charge of talking." Speaking of which, Martin suddenly remembered Ryan Reynolds, whom Scarlett Johansson mentioned yesterday.
Ryan was addicted to cigarettes and was sick all over his body.
The situation is very obvious, Ryan thinks too much and underestimates how terrifying such a creature is his ex-wife.
Before he came in, Ryan thought it would be sad inside, but when he came in, he found that it was even more difficult than he thought.
Ryan nodded again and again, and said in his heart, why didn't he find Scarlett good before?
Recently, he was beaten too hard, so he pinned his hopes on Scarlett to really help him, and agreed to meet.
Martin still has concerns about Warner.
"I've heard you're in a very uncomfortable cell." Scarlett shoved the cigarette into Ryan's mouth and lit it with the lighter, as if it was just a joke.
The guard looked inside the bag and said, "It can't be too long, I'm at the door, call me immediately if there's something."
He is not in a hurry, he can wait until after the release of the "Joker" movie.
The smoke was blowing in his face, and Ryan Reynolds was bound with his hands and couldn't do anything but shout, "Get me one."
Ordinary prisoners and their families do not enjoy this kind of treatment at all, but it is not ordinary people who come here today, they are rich and famous, and they have been waving the flag for the Donkey Party, and they also have political connections.
"I heard that you are having a bad time, after all, there has been a husband and wife, so I will send you something." Scarlett handed the things she had brought to the guard, giving a suggestive look by the way, "Can I talk to him alone for a while?"
Martin also knew the difficulty, and said, "Give it a try, co-production is fine, no...... Then forget it."
Ryan Reynolds has gone to jail, and Scarlett, the ex-wife, will continue to torture him, and he doesn't have to think about it anymore when he stars in "Deadpool".
Ryan said, "You helped me change cells, and I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life."
Ryan breathed a sigh of relief, and for the first time after the divorce, he felt that Scarlett was a good person, and said sincerely, "Thank you."
Scarlett asked, "It's uncomfortable, it's uncomfortable, isn't it?" That's how I felt when we got divorced!"
Ryan said, "You said you were going to send me something to make my life better here!"
…………
Scarlett came out, met the assistant, got into the car, took out her mobile phone and made a call, waited for it to be connected, and said, "I still have to ask you to help me about the transfer of cells."
Scarlett looked at Ryan for a moment before she said, "Okay, I'll help you swap and remember what you said."
The guy over there was very direct: "Miss Johnson, don't worry, Ryan Reynolds's new cell and new roommates, I have chosen according to your requirements, are all the most aggressive gay men in the state prison."
"Good." Scarlett's ex-wife laughed happily: "
I've got some gifts for them, mainly soap and stuff, and you can help me deliver them to them."
The guy over there laughed too, "I understand, just do what Miss Johnson asks."
Scarlett hung up the phone, only feeling inexplicably happy, most ex-wives always have a hatred for their ex-husbands that they can't vent.
"Drive, back to Los Angeles." She became more and more excited, so she simply took out her mobile phone and dialed Martin's number: "Come out, let's play, I'll be waiting for you at the Ritz-Carlton."
Martin over there answered.
Along the way, Scarlett is seriously thinking about how to make Martin more excited so that she can reward herself well.
It's a very in-depth subject, so let's go to the Ritz-Carlton and welcome Martin in the middle of the road.
…………
Kiev, Victory Square.
Thousands of people gathered, and countless cameras and camera lenses were pointed at the small man standing on the high platform in front of the monument in the square.
"Support Aleksandrovich!"
I don't know who shouted first, and then countless people shouted together.
"Alexandrovich!"
"Alexandrovich!"
The uniform shouts were earth-shattering, and all the media reporters present were sideways
Eye.
The appeal of this national hero among the people is amazingly high!
Aleksandrovich stood on a high platform and waved to the audience.
The response from the public was even more enthusiastic.
Today's *** is also a press conference, Aleksandrovich and his Servants of the People party, officially announced their candidacy for next year's general election.
After the momentum of 1+1 TV and other media, *** caused a sensation.
Aleksandrovich took his wife Olena by the hand and bowed together to the place where the people gathered.
The image of being close to the people is also one of his main cards.
On the top floor of the hotel on one side of the square, seven or eight people stood by the guardrail, looking out into the middle of the square.
Among them, Rebrov, the director of 1+1 TV, was accompanied by an old man with gray hair.
"I didn't expect him to have such a big momentum in just two years." The old man's name is Igor, the chairman of the Privat Group, and he also served as the governor of a state: "A "Servant of the People", a rescue of women and children, made him the most prestigious person in the country."
"When I first met Alexandrovich, he was a little immature, but Martin Davis, the national hero of the United States, prompted him to mature quickly," Rebrov said.
Igor regretted: "It's a pity that I didn't see Martin Davis last time I was in London."
Rebrov thinks the boss of the group is taking it too seriously: "Martin Davis, despite being a national hero of the United States and claiming to have a billion-dollar net worth, is still essentially a star......
Igor raised his hand to interrupt him: "You still don't know enough, when I was in London, I sent someone to the United States to investigate the situation of Martin Davis, he has no less wealth in his hands than me, you should know what this money represents in a place like America." Also, his influence on the whole of America, and even on the Western world, is too great."
Rebrov nodded vigorously and asked, "We fully support Aleksandrovich?"
Igor didn't want to run for election in person, but because of his bad reputation and sanctions from the United States and other Western countries, he could only choose a suitable agent, but several of the candidates themselves were oligarchs in direct competition with him.
Apart from Alexandrovich, he has no other suitable candidate.
"As I told Alexandrovich, we can fight our competitors and use him to ease relations with the United States......," Igor said.
Like all oligarchs, he is essentially a wall-rider, favoring which side is favorable.
Rebrov knew that the boss was not suitable to come forward in person, so he said so much to him, and immediately responded: "I will communicate with Aleksandrovich's side."
Igor nodded, "Don't let him get out of our grasp."
Rebrov replied, "Yes."
Igor left here.
Rebrov saw Alexandrovich and his wife in the square get off the high platform, and the people automatically divided into two rows and said goodbye.
The national actor won the hearts of the people of the country by playing the role of a president who battled wits and courage against oligarchs and corrupt politicians and worked wholeheartedly for the country's revival in film and television dramas.
Coupled with the rescue of women and children, he will have unparalleled appeal in this country for a long time to come.
Also, he will definitely have the support of some Western bloc
As long as the Privatt Group pushes hard in the back, the chances of success are quite high.
Seeing the couple in the car, Rebrov dialed the phone number dialed Alexandrovich, and the two sides made an appointment to meet in the evening.
In the moving car, Aleksandrovich hung up the phone, and when the car gradually moved away from the downtown area, he asked the driver to stop the car and said to Olena: "Let's go down and take a walk, we haven't walked together for a long time."
It was unusually cold in Kiev in December, and Olena hastened to wrap him in a scarf.
The two got out of the car and walked along the clear
The road goes forward.
"The support we have received from the Privat Group has been huge," says Olena.
Aleksandrovich looked back at the car: "Because of this, there are some things that I dare not say in front of the driver."
Olena understood her husband and asked in a low voice, "Are you worried about becoming a puppet that Igor put in front of the stage?"
Aleksandrovich said: "His money and resources are not given for free, and if I am elected, I will definitely give it back."
Olena said, "Isn't that the whole world like this?"
"Actually, I have an idea." Aleksandrovich said slowly: "When the Privat Group just supported me, there were."
Olena looked at him curiously.
Aleksandrovich smiled: "I haven't mentioned it to anyone, it's just a person's consideration, and the idea is gradually maturing, but there is also a lot of pressure."
Olena is looking forward to becoming first lady: "I want to help you take the pressure off."
Aleksandrovich's voice lowered: "Igor's relationship with the east is ambiguous, and he is increasingly ostracized by the Western world, if I become his agent, will I really favor the east in the future?" All the hard work we have done in the United States over the past few years will come to naught."
He had already made up his mind: "If I can really take power, I plan to use Igor and the Privat group as a vote to find a way to dismantle them.
Sending the Privat Group to Martin to operate, Martin has a certain amount of influence in Washington, his own prestige, his political allies, and such a large interest in his hands, he will definitely be able to build a bridge of communication with the United States."
Olena fully supports: "Your idea is correct, but it is difficult to implement."
Aleksandrovich took her hand and continued walking: "Which was the easiest thing to do since I left Kyiv and ran to Paris to see Martin?"
