unofficial hollywood life

"I didn't expect you to be interested in movies of this kind." Kevin said with some surprise.

Like Annette, as Diana's manager, he was also captured by the Morgan chick as a free labor force, but he was still willing to be this labor force.

No way, who called Morgan Chick's "Good Night, Hudson" not only made Mel Gibson's film appointment roaring, but even his subordinate Catherine Zeta Jones became hotter?

A debutante leading actress in a Hollywood blockbuster, the Welsh teen has been dubbed The Luck-Kissed Girl, for the film in which she, in her early twenties, uses what could be called a She displayed her beauty in a violent way, and the extreme beauty of her body unreasonably shocked the hearts of the American people.

In this regard, director Gibson's aesthetic taste must be acknowledged. Under his lens, the actors seem to be covered with a halo. They move together.

Of course, this is inseparable from the outstanding performance of the actors.

Liam Neeson is an acting school from the UK, and he plays a role that fits his appearance; Josh Brolin is a typical bad boy, he doesn't have to restrain his indulgence. The uninhibited temperament can be combined with the characters very well, not to mention Rupert Graves, who is not lacking in beauty and acting skills, and also plays such a complex and controversial role, plus no acting skills, just a face Catherine Zeta Jones, who can overwhelm a group of people, Director Gibson has already topped the list of directors who are most likely to choose actors.

Basically, this is a movie that benefited from the director to the actors. Not to mention the huge increase in salary for everyone, even Diana's novels have been sold again by virtue of this trend. The newly released "Good Morning, New York followed its predecessor on the list of best-selling novels.

Under such circumstances, Kevin is really looking forward to her continuing to make movies and promoting Catherine to a higher position. With this momentum, it is not impossible to reach the level of Julia Roberts in the future. At the beginning, she The Hollywood debut is not so beautiful.

Thinking of Diana's previous follow-up work "New York Love", Kevin looked at Diana almost as if he looked at Franklin himself. This girl's luck is too good.

Don't think that Westerners are not superstitious. If they are not superstitious, how did things like voodoo come about?There is also the famous struggle between Catholicism and witches, which is the biggest superstition in itself, not to mention that the color of the water has changed for many years because of the "Future Water World" hit the street, and "Cut Throat Island" has disappeared After a company, no one dared to touch the subject of pirates for more than ten years.

Even in ordinary life, there are still people who ask for divination!

Superstitions are rooted in human thinking, so Kevin thinks that Diana is the real girl who was kissed by the goddess of luck.Because according to his statistics, every novel of this girl is a success, even if the sales volume of "Crown of Thorns: Road of Blood" in the United States is average, it is still a very good work, but this kind of subject matter is relatively heavy The novel needs time to brew sales.

And for things like sales, you can see "Good Night, Hudson". The sales before and after the movie's release are simply incomparable. The novels promoted by the media group are the main reason for the surge in sales. The publishing house is not so powerful!Perhaps when "Crown of Thorns: Road of Blood" is confirmed to be adapted into a film and television work, the sales will explode, and before that, it may only slowly accumulate word of mouth.After all, although there are various fantasy creatures in this novel, in terms of subject matter, it still belongs to the scope of epic novels. For the American people who love fast food literature, it needs a little motivation to sell better.

Of course, if Diana is willing to announce that she is Mary Green, John Dante, and even Steve Sade, sales will definitely increase, but this is very detrimental to protecting IP, whether it is Neither the publishing house nor Kevin would encourage her to do such a thing that is not worth the loss.

Similarly, whether it is the "Secret Garden" series or "The Crown of Thorns: Road of Blood", judging from the current special effects, it is not realistic to adapt it into a movie, so Kevin's biggest hope is "Good Morning, New York" .Unexpectedly, "Good Morning, New York" has no shadow yet, and his client actually set his sights on the superheroes of Marvel Comics.

"Because of the quality of a professional agent, I still suggest that you don't adapt these movies lightly. Marvel is not DC, and their heroes are not very popular on the big screen." Kevin reminded Diana.

After the sale of Surprise's adaptation rights, it's not that there have been no film adaptations released, but obviously, the feedback received by these works is not very good, let alone DC, even a series of adaptations of unpopular comics, including Spider Including Xia, the response after the release was ordinary and not ordinary, it was a waste of his title as the third-ranked comic book character in the United States.

Oh, by the way, when it comes to rankings, I have to say that in the land of the United States, the well-deserved king of comic characters is Batman, who has been No.1 on the sales list all year round, the second is Superman, and the third It's Spider-Man.Compared with the top three, the sales of the remaining comic characters can only be described as having a wall, and they are not in the same dimension at all.

But even with this kind of popularity, after the movie about Spider-Man is released, the results are still mediocre, and the effect is not even as good as animation and TV series. Your own customers are wasting money.

"I know, I just plan to buy the copyright first, and wait for the level of special effects to improve in a few years before shooting. Anyway, now that Ron Perelman wants to sell it, even if it is to recharge the copyright library, it is very worthwhile. "Diana took a sip of the juice and said in a relaxed tone.

If we don't do anything else, do we have to wait until [-]th Century Fox buys it from Sony before going to snatch food from the mouths of these predators?

Get the copyright first, and wait until the company develops well in a few years, then cooperate with some big producers to develop these superheroes, and sell them after they appreciate in value.Knowing which series can make money, the other party even sent it to her door. If she didn't buy it, she would feel stupid!

"Well, since you insist, I will collect the information." Seeing what Diana said, Kevin stopped persuading her.

He could see clearly that Diana was very adamant about this decision, and there was no need to say those useless words.Since the other party wants these copyrights, he will help the other party to collect information and get them at the least possible cost.

Anyway, these superheroes can't be sold at any price except DC's Superman and Batman. Coupled with the bad results before, it is still easy to buy them. Isn't Universal not spending much money?

Besides, Ron Perelman is not one of those writers and cartoonists who cherish the copyright of his works. This vicious vulture only cares about money.As for who it is sold to, he actually doesn't care at all. As long as the money is in place, there is no difference between a listed company and an independent studio in his eyes.

This is a good thing and a bad thing.

The good thing is that Flamingo is on the same starting line as other companies. The bad thing is that if there are other competitors, the price they want to win the copyright may rise.In particular, Perelman is an old fox, and he has a lot of financial means. In order to avoid being raised by him, he still has to do some work.

It has to be said that Kevin is a very capable person. He was able to get to this point with the existence of the four heavenly kings above him. His methods are brilliant!

When a bunch of companies didn't take the copyrights of Marvel's characters seriously, the broker had joined forces with Annette to win the copyrights of the X-Men and Spider-Man, the whole series.

"Actually, there are many interesting superheroes in Marvel Comics. Are you sure you only want these two series?" After signing the contract, Ron Perelman shook hands with Annette and asked with a smile on his face.

He is very happy to have made this deal. After all, it is not always the case that such a big guy is willing to take over the film adaptation rights with no future, so after the deal is over, he mentioned some other comic characters under Marvel. , If you can sell one more, you will earn more income!Perelman didn't want to let go of the fat sheep at all, and planned to bite off two more bites of meat on the other side.

"I'm sure." Annette shook Perelman's hand perfunctorily, showing a rather stereotyped smile.

Anyone could see her impatience.

Too.Perelman still had a kind smile on his face, making it impossible to see what was going on in his heart.

During the negotiation process, Annette received calls from her young boss several times. Ron didn't know what the other party said, but it was nothing pleasant.Because there were several times when Annette wanted to slap the table and leave, but she finally endured it.He even felt that if the young girl hadn't insisted, the lady would have given up on the negotiation and left.

Ron is not a Hollywood rookie who doesn't understand anything, and he also investigated the Flamingo Company before starting the negotiation.This newly established company has acquired another company to achieve its current scale, and Annette is the old man left by the previous company.
