Carl is very understanding of Andy's arrangement. He is not a child. What is the emotion of being divided? Andy is very grateful that he didn't kick him off when he was most unlucky. He also chose to stick to Andy when he was quiet. He was proud and proud for a long time.

However, there is still a loss in his heart, not because his power shrinks, but because of Andy's growth speed. Now Andy is no longer the child with childishness a few months ago. He is still wise, but mature. The city becomes deeper unconsciously. He divides the power in his hands between laughing and cursing. He doesn't let himself There's a way to be emotional. After all, Andy also let him take over the board of directors of pinnacle entertainment company.

This is undoubtedly a kind of promotion of Carl's identity. Hollywood's power comes from the amount of resources in its hands, or in that sentence, opportunity is the gold here!

Looking at Andy, who is lying on the boss's chair and drinking coffee with his feet on the desk, shaking his legs, Carl is like a dream. In his mind, the body is thin, the eyes are deep, the mood is low, and the teenager who cries to himself is getting far away.

"Carl, what are you thinking?" Andy's mouth is cocked up, his face is smiling, his eyes are bright and he looks at Carl, who is a little lost. He asks lightly.

"Well? No... I don't think about anything. I just think of some things in the past. Andy, you grow up and mature. " Karl didn't hide his feelings.

"Ha ha, you are a fat man! People always have to learn to grow up, which is a good thing. What do you say? " Andy said with a smile.

"Can you respect me a little! I'm the manager of the company. You die fat all day. It will affect my prestige! You strange little Douding! " Carl had a few twitches in the corner of his eye, but thought of the nickname he gave him when he first met Andy, he called himself fat, and hit back.

Andy's corner of the mouth took a smoke, proud of the cold hum, Carl said this stem, Andy turned over the memory did not find, can only pretend angry perfunctory past.

When Carl saw Andy's angry expression, the atmosphere was a little embarrassed. He could only smile and cough a little. He turned off the topic and said with a shy face: "some time ago, I cut off a 20th Century Fox project. You don't know. They were almost mad on the spot."

Andy looked at the fat man in deser, but he was intrigued, "let's hear it."

"Haha, didn't you make a part of the money for your music records some time ago, plus the novel copyright fee from the school music? At that time, the company had more than ten thousand yuan of money. I originally wanted to buy the copyright of some old films. However, after you published the novels in the Observer newspaper, Xuele publishing house was a little worried about the cooperation between us and them Break, run here again and again, contact feelings.

In a chat, I learned that a writer named Rex Leighton wrote a series of teenage fantasy novels in 1995, which was recently successfully lobbied by Xuele publishing house and was being arranged for publication. At first, I didn't care much until I heard that fox was contacting the writer and wanted to buy the movie copyright of the novel, so I asked the Xuele people to take a printed book Ben, after I saw it, I decided to buy the movie copyright. Hey, fox only wants to buy the copyright with 5 million yuan. The main thing is that they don't want to write the script by themselves.

At that time, Rex Leighton was in Los Angeles, so I immediately contacted him through music learners and bought him with 5.5 million plus the conditions for participating in script writing. Ha ha, when the fox group knew about it, they jumped in front of Rex Leighton and scolded me. It was really a bit of self-cultivation. It was disgraceful! "

Andy listened to Carl's story. He always felt that this Rex Leighton was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember more detailed information. He frowned slightly and asked, "what book is it?"

"Posey Jackson and the thief of the fire."..... A series, but only three at present. "

Andy Shu opens his eyebrows and smiles. It turns out that it's this series. OK, it's pretty good. He can make a profit. After all, when the movie came out, the publicity was overwhelming. The first one was good at the box office, and the second one was made. Then, there was no special effect blockbuster that burned money.

"Ha ha, listen to the name, we can see that the story of modern people interwoven with Greek mythology is not the story of children killing gods after a group of unscrupulous Greek gods and ordinary people messing with each other... It's a movie company's favorite theme, commercial special effects, not bad, fatso you have courage! " Andy's forced comments.

"Awesome! Just listen to the name to guess the main line of the story, or Andy, you are really talented! " Karl listened to Andy's analysis, and his face was very shocked. He really admired Andy's genius. He didn't read the book, but only listened to the name to analyze the story line. NIMA was so awesome.

"It's not a matter of boldness. It's mainly because of your example. I didn't understand how to buy the copyright of twilight at a high price. But who would have thought that when I turned around, I immediately increased the value by 50%. Thinking of what you said, Hollywood will increasingly pursue some excellent IPS in the future. Naturally, I won't miss this opportunity. This is not the second Fox has contacted me in the 10th century. I hope to talk to you. Ha ha, what do you think? "Andy's mouth is cocked up, and his nose makes a slight murmur that can't be checked. He smiles mysteriously and says, "ha ha, talk about it. We're not a movie company. We're just buying the copyright to change hands. You can talk to them well. The transfer money doesn't need to be too high. It's only for 70000 yuan. Then... Let's share the box office of the first movie. I think the Fox family will finally agree. Anyway, the movie copyright has 50 years. Don't worry! "

"Ha ha, I know how to do it! By the way, you happen to be here. I read a book recently, and I feel that the story is OK. However, I inquired about the sales situation. Well, it's a street fight. Look, is it necessary to buy it? " Carl Yin Dang's cheap smile, but suddenly thought of something, said, while standing up to the desk, took out a book from his briefcase.

Andy takes the book from Carl, looks at the bloody cover that says "World War of zombies". He looks up at the fat man standing beside him with a wry smile, and says with a smile, "you say this book is on the street?"

"Yes, what's the problem? It's been two weeks since it went public, and only 100000 copies have been bought in the United States Carl asked innocently.

"No" Andy looks at Carl in surprise, and confirms that he's not joking. He quickly turns it over. Yes, it's the same as the original story. After being bought by Pitt, the movie he CO produced with paramount was sold at the box office. I remember it should be a bestseller. How can it be saved.

"Are you sure the volume of this book is only 100000?" Andy looks at Carl again, frowning.

"Sure, I'm quite sure. I'm interested in the stories about zombies, so I'm wondering after reading them. Such a good story should not be so tragic."

Andy closes the book, taps his fingers on the paper, frowns tightly, and thinks that whatever the reason, it's an excellent novel. Pete got the copyright in the past 10 years. At that time, it seemed that he spent nearly 10 million yuan, and there were many restrictions on the adaptation of the movie script. He looked at the author's name again. Yes, it was Max Brooks.

As for why the sales volume is so poor, Andy really can't understand. Since there's no answer, he doesn't want to. He stretches his eyebrows, takes his feet off the table, sits up straight, and seriously says to Carl, "buy the copyright of it!"! As soon as possible, maybe this situation is only temporary now. This is a good book. Now we can spend a lot less money on it! "

"Good! I've already called the author. I'll contact him in a moment. There should be no problem, but how much is the right price? " Carl saw Andy's attention to the novel, and he was still very excited. This is also the embodiment of his work ability. He likes the current work very much, and his salary is very high. He knows that all this is given by Andy, but more because of the emotional fetters between him and Andy, Andy will choose to use him. Carl hopes that his work ability will make ANN Di appreciates him and trusts him.

"Well...... 500000? " Andy frowned slightly, held it for more than ten seconds, and finally said with a grin.

Carl's mouth is full of black lines. He looks down at Andy and says in a low voice, "you are much more cruel than me..."

Andy listens to Carl's sarcasm and laughs awkwardly to cover up: "or you can contact the author first and listen to his own price. If it's appropriate, you can buy it. I hope he won't talk about it. It's all in the street. I'm glad someone can buy his movie rights, hehe..."

Carle looked at Andy with a look of shame. He was really Jian businessman than himself, and shook his fat head lightly, unable to make complaints about it.

"You... What's your expression! I'm not all for our company. If you can spend less, you need to spend less! " Andy forcibly explains that he doesn't admit his business.

"Eldest brother, he is not a new writer even if he sells this book. People know the market. 500000 yuan? Ha ha, do you think it is possible? " Carl looked at Andy scornfully and joked.

"What price do you want to ask me! You fat man, don't look at me like that! Damn it, OK, we must take the copyright of this novel, but don't be too eager to let him open his mouth

Before Andy finished speaking, Carl looked at him with a squint, as if to say, are you teaching me how to negotiate?

Andy rolled his white eyes, put his feet back on the table, lay on the boss's chair, looked at the ceiling, and grunted.
