Standing in the vestibule of his villa, looking at the four editorial assistants who left hurriedly, Adrian couldn't help but smile.
Thinking about their shocked expressions before leaving, he knew that his momentum was almost half successful.
These scripts were selected after he thought about it and carefully studied them, especially the four types mailed out in the front are different, including campus comedy, romantic love, thriller love, and horror movies.
Moreover, three of these four scripts are the kind that can make money with highlights but not much.
Then when the other party sent someone to negotiate, two more potentially valuable scripts "American Pi" and "Scream".
These two movies are examples of low-cost and high box office, and have made countless sequels. With the professional qualities of these people, it is impossible to see that. Besides, he added some prompt notes to come later.
So, what will the major film companies react next?
Adrian shook his head and ignored it. Anyway, his goal has been half. As long as these four movies are filmed and money is made, his other half will almost achieve it.
I was just a little regretful and unwilling to accept it because one of the four scripts at the beginning was the one sold to Warner's assistant, which was originally supposed to be released in two years and starring Whitney Houston.
If Adrian remembers correctly, the box office of this movie alone reached $100 million in North America, which is $100 million in the early 1990s!
Unfortunately, he didn't invest it himself, and he sold it for $350,000, so he would inevitably feel a little depressed.Of course, this emotion was thrown behind Adrian in a few minutes.
If you want to initially build your reputation as soon as possible, it is impossible to sell all scripts that make small money. It is still necessary to add a box office script to the first few.
As long as the producer thinks a little bit, and the things Adrian also wrote implicitly behind it, it will definitely make Warner a fortune.
Of course, the most important thing is that Adrian has many scripts to make money, so he doesn't have to care about this one.
He took time to register at the screenwriter union during the three months he had been writing scripts in the past three months. It was not because the union could provide help when necessary. What he was interested in was the union's characteristic of storing and storing the script outline for two years after paying a fee.
Most screenwriters will hand over their outline to the union for safekeeping, and film companies will also often check in the union for any noteworthy scripts, or whether there are stories that may be similar to the newly received scripts.
Adrian put all the outlines of the ten busy scripts in the past three months, and in the days to come, there will be outlines or complete scripts in the future.
In this way, even if similar ideas may appear, he can still be invincible with the records preserved by the union.
As for what happened to those screenwriters who had formerly caused changes in their lives, sorry, that was not within Adrian's consideration.
When he was Zhang Haoxuan, he saw a theory in a science fiction novel. He was deeply impressed by the theory of flocking and being excluded!
This flock theory is not the one that studies the herd effect. The author assumes a picture: more than one billion sheep living in the world spread all over the ice field, and in order to survive, they are arranged in isosceles triangles to walk on the ice field together; the sheep walking in front can enjoy it whenever they encounter grass or water sources, while the sheep behind can only eat grass roots and drink leftover water.
There is no sheep that can leave the flock to survive alone. On the cold ice field, I don’t know when I can see the next place with grass and when will the blizzards be attacked? Only by walking together and supporting each other and relying on each other can we survive.
The sheep standing behind the team, in order to get the same rights as the sheep in front, were nothing more than eating fresh grass and drinking clean water and squeezing forward desperately.
The sheep in front must first maintain their current position and ensure that they will not be squeezed behind, and then try their best to move forward.
Some sheep are standing in the back and never can appear in the higher position in the team after struggling all their lives.
When other sheep were born, they naturally stood behind their parents, and were much higher than other sheep.
There is no fairness in this world.
Now that he is reborn, or can be regarded as God or some other powerful person who has taken him as his adopted son, placed him in a higher position, and given him a pair of extremely hard horns, why should he not continue to squeeze forward?
Maybe he will set up a foundation to help those poor screenwriters in the future. Maybe he may secretly support the screenwriter union to strike for his own rights. The 2008 strike has far-reaching impact. Moreover, there were several plans for the strike before that. He knew about these when Zhang Haoxuan was still alive, but it would be impossible to give up plagiarism and accumulation of funds and fame.
Shameless?Of course, we will never deny it.But, I don't care.
I'm going out, Mrs. Garen, don't wait for me tonight.Adrian cleaned up a little and walked out. He had an important date this afternoon.
OK, but I'll make two sandwiches and leave them in the refrigerator, you just have to put them in the microwave and turn them around and eat them.Mrs. Galen, who was organizing the living room, said kindly.
Thanks!Adrian nodded, then went out and drove towards the city.
Although the profession of screenwriter is no longer as low as before in modern times, it may not be as high as it did before. Otherwise, how could there be a major strike in 2008?
A good script, a good director, and a good actor can be regarded as the three main factors for making a good movie. But when did you see a screenwriter asking for dividends?
Even the screenwriters union who earn 500,000 yuan a year have never had it!
Although the screenwriter allowed him to easily enter the Hollywood gate, he would never stop there.
I really didn't expect you to arrive earlier than me, Crow.Adrian sat down in front of Claude with a teasing expression, and nodded to the male waiter who came over: A cup of latte.
Before Claude could speak, he continued to ask in a teasing tone: Are you having fun?
Although he handed over all his wealth to Claude and had been copying the script for the past three months, he still took the time to read the financial statements sent by his private accountant.
Faced with the ups and downs of the curve chart, Adrian had only one thought: Claude is addicted to playing!
Hey, how could you say that?At least the funds you gave me have gone through four times.Claude looked innocent.
When you turn five times, you can obviously stop and wait until the fluctuation passes before starting.Adrian said bluntly, don't forget our agreement, it depends on the situation.
Even so, Adrian was still a little depressed. After all, this was a verbal agreement, and according to his final statement, even if Cloud had played it all, he could only accept it.
Fortunately, in order to keep the capital to turn things around, Adrian twitched the corner of his mouth.
Don't worry, I always care about the agreement. You trust me so much, and of course I can't let you down.Claude smiled and raised his hands.
My accountant told me that there is only three months left.
There are at least four months or more for me.Claude said confidently, with a little bit of arrogance, obviously benefiting a lot in these three months.
Okay, Ed, just say it, what's the reason for asking me out?He picked up the coffee and took a sip.
It's very simple, I need to acquire a film company and then direct a debut work.Adrian tapped his fingers on the table.
Claude almost squirted out the coffee in his mouth, and he quickly put down the cup in his hand and looked at Adrian with a surprised look.
Warner, Universal, Fox and Disney bought a script from me, and were competing for ownership of the two scripts, so you don't have to be so surprised.
Adrian said calmly.
I thought...I thought...Claude made a few gestures unconsciously.
Do you think I was just talking and playing?Please, Crow, I'm very serious.Adrian raised his eyebrows. When will I be joking while formally asking for help?
After breathing a long sigh, Claude shrugged: I know, but... Ed, you have changed a lot.
Everyone will change. I told you that since the day I was electrocuted, I was no longer mine.
Speaking of this, Adrian waved his hand, OK, let’s not talk about that, I originally planned to spend 500,000 to set up a new film company, but I didn’t have so much time and energy to start from scratch, so I planned to acquire one.It doesn't need to be too big, the price is around 3 million, and you can just have a complete department and a basic relationship network.
Claude stirred the coffee in the cup with a spoon, looked at Adrian without saying a word for a long time, and finally sighed: It's really strange, Ed, although reason tells me that this idea is crazy, his intuition tells me that you are likely to succeed.
When did you become mother-in-law, Crow?Adrian couldn't help but frown.
OK OK OK.Claude raised his hands, So, what do you want me to do?Open a new account and directly transfer the money to it?Or just help you find a film company for sale?
It is best if you can help me, but I need you to give out 4 million.
Adrian thought about it and said, in addition to acquiring the film company, I need to buy the adaptation rights of several novels and invest in my first movie.
If you do what you say, your first movie will only invest a few hundred thousand at most... Claude was interrupted by Adrian: OK, Clau, I know you care about me very much, but please believe me.
All right.Claude nodded, but if you only leave me 20 million yuan in funds, I don’t guarantee that I can earn 60 million yuan in the end.
Then it will be reduced to 50 million, and your remuneration cannot be included.Adrian said immediately.
Then let it be.Claude sipped the coffee and stood up. I will wait and see your miracle, this time it is the truth.
Thinking about their shocked expressions before leaving, he knew that his momentum was almost half successful.
These scripts were selected after he thought about it and carefully studied them, especially the four types mailed out in the front are different, including campus comedy, romantic love, thriller love, and horror movies.
