Standing at the window and watching Carl's car disappear slowly, Andy is a little speechless about Carl's high enthusiasm. In his words, he will make CCA regret it, and he will shoot a bitch with his Ding Ding in the face!
Mcmuller hurried into the meeting room and sat down in his own place, then swept all colleagues in front of him. Although most of them were expressionless, the gloating in his eyes was obvious. He could not help sighing. No wonder, who made himself always sneer at that wretched fat man before.
Thinking about mcmuller is a bit gloomy. The client he is in charge of has a problem and will be fired.
With the sound of footsteps, a middle-aged man aged 40 to 50 walked into the conference room.
"Who can tell me what this is about?" The middle-aged man sat at the top and photographed a pile of manuscripts on the conference table. "We can only publish one volume of such a wonderful story. Are you kidding?"
Elton. Bull is like an angry bull roaring loudly. As the head of Xuele publishing house in Los Angeles, there is a lot of pressure. Xuele publishing house is a famous publisher and publisher of children's books in the world. The American version of the Harry Potter series that is popular all over the world is Xuele publishing, and the dark fairy tale in front of Elton is definitely the first in a series This is a new big IP.
But now, someone even tells him that their publishing house can only issue the first volume of this series, and the latter one has nothing to do with them. It was a bolt from the blue. It made him not angry.
Mcmuller hesitated for a long time, then stood up pale and said cautiously, "I'm sorry, I didn't maintain a good customer relationship."
PA!
Elton clapped the table and stood up, growling loudly: "I don't want to hear sorry, today, just today, I don't care what you do, I want you to sign Andy Smith back to me! You stay, others please come back. "
Soon, there were only two people left in the meeting room. The angry Elton calmed down and stared at the nervous and sweaty Mike. "I don't care what the cause is, you must bring back the good news! So...... Tell Andy Smith's agent that we can pay in advance, and the royalty share can be increased to a maximum of 15%, as long as his book is published in our publishing house, all of these can be discussed. "
“15%？ It's just that Andy Smith's agent is very greedy. What if he asks too much? " Mike was very surprised that 15% of the royalties are what the top writers would enjoy. Thinking of the disgusting expression of the fat man, he asked cautiously.
“FUCK！ As long as there are requirements, we can talk about it! Can you take a long-term view? Have you seen the manuscript? Idiot, where is this? This is Hollywood. It's a movie factory! Such a good story will attract Hollywood studios. When the film is released, our books can be sold on sale! "
"Yes, I'll see Andy Smith's agent right away!" Mike lowered his head and dared not look at the editor in chief of Elton who swore again. He picked up the folder on the desk in panic and trotted out of the conference room.
Elton, who remained in the conference room, stared at the manuscript on the desk for a long time. "I hope everything goes well!"
The funny guy, Andy shakes his head with a smile, looks aside at Carl, who is gloating, and looks at Mike Miller, the representative of Xuele publishing house, who is almost about to cry.
"Well, the terms you've given are very generous. We can talk about it. Karl has given it to you."
Ignoring mcmuller's gratitude, he gave Carl a dim look, then stood up and walked up to the second floor. He didn't want to waste his energy. As long as the result was good, the process was left to the professional.
More than an hour later, Carl, a fat man, walked into the study with a smug, smug look.
"As you look, it seems that you have a good conversation." Andy takes off his decorative glasses. He holds the bridge of his nose with his fingers and gently rubs it to relieve the non-existent fatigue.
"Ha ha, who am I? I'm Karl the vampire. Let that kid look at people with eyes. How can I do without giving him a hard lesson! " Carl happily sat on the sofa, looking happy and happy.
Andy takes a cigarette out of the box and throws it to Carl. He lights another one himself and signals him to continue.
"15% royalties, 1 million dollars in advance, haha, after tax, of course, they promise to do their best to promote your works, write soft articles for you in the newspaper, and expand your influence."
Andy couldn't help laughing when he heard it. He smiled proudly. After smoking a cigarette and spitting it out, he said to himself, "I'm short of money now. This one million yuan can relieve the economic pressure."
Most of Andy's money is apple stock. There are only 400000 savings left in the bank and 300000 compensation paid to him by 17-year-old magazine, 100000 registered companies and rental Offices for Carl, and 600000 dollars left. The salaries of his nanny and fitness coach, attorney's fees, private doctors and all kinds of living expenses are not small.In the United States, as long as the service costs are not low. Andy frowned, pretending to be angry. "How's the company registration? And why do you bring people to my house? "
Carl totally ignored Andy's performance and turned his eyes. "Of course, the company has to register in Bermuda. The tax in California is too high! Don't you see that too? He looks like he's dying to live. He says that if he can't see you today, he'll depend on me. I'm really annoying him. I can't help it, so I'm here to see you. "
Andy pointed to Carl and said seriously, "don't bring strangers to my house in the future. You can fix the office as soon as possible, and you can meet in the company if you have any problems."
Carl nodded to show that he knew, looked at the clock on the wall, as if he wanted to leave.
"Stay for dinner. Nelson will be here in a moment. I need your help with some things." Andy said to him as he snuffed out his cigarette in the ashtray.
"OK, that's great. You can eat delicious Chinese food again." When you hear what you eat, Carl will not miss it.
In the United States, the relationship between private lawyers and rich employers is a lifetime, which has an extraordinary existence.
"Hi, Nelson, it's really nice to see you." Carl looks like an old acquaintance, and he still has a lot of respect for Andy's private lawyer.
"Hello, Carl, you've gained a lot of weight. Pay attention to your body and eat less!" Nelson shook hands with Carl and joked.
"Hey, man, I'm a dragon, a tiger, very healthy!" Carl cried as if you were going to take off your clothes to show you if you didn't believe it.
"Well, well, let's get down to business first. Nelson, these are some of my TV program ideas when I write novels. I want to register for global copyright. Is that ok? " Andy hands Nelson some printed papers.
Nielsen quickly browsed, and the color of surprise in his eyes became more and more strong. On these sheets of paper, there were three TV program ideas and specific processes. Among them, the program of "talent show" was the most detailed.
"Boss, I have to say, you are indeed a genius!" Nielsen arranges the documents and looks at Andy sitting opposite and exclaims. "In fact, there is no need to register global copyright. The easiest way is to save it in the playwright's Union, whose copyright protection is for the whole world."
"No, no, I know the functions of the trade union, but after all, these are just ideas, not produced into programs, and we don't have the resources to produce these programs at present. I'm afraid that in case of similar cases in other countries, it would be a waste of time to file a lawsuit."
Andy naturally knows that the copyright protection of the screenwriters' union can prevent his own interests from being harmed. However, he probably remembers that the production time of talent shows in Britain and the United States is roughly during the summer vacation this year. Although he put the script and the outline of these ideas into the screenwriters' Union at the beginning of May for preservation, in case of a crash, either party will suffer losses He's looking for money now, not to rip people off.
After listening to Andy's explanation, Nelson seems to understand his concerns, but it's not a short time and a half to register globally.
When both of them were in deep thought, they heard Carl shouting excitedly, "Wow, it's a genius idea. Andy, your brain is really great. I love you so much."
"Quiet! I know I'm a genius, but can you keep your voice down! " Andy looked at Carl, who was shouting angrily, and just scared him.
"Oh, my God, why do we want to register in one country and one country? As long as we find two TV stations to cooperate in the United States and the United Kingdom, they can definitely find the value of it. Then we can sell them the copyright. According to the efficiency of the TV station, it can be broadcast soon. When it becomes a established fact, it doesn't need so much trouble." Carl couldn't help but say excitedly.
"Nonsense, I've thought about this method for a long time, but I hope my interests will be maximized. The idea of talent show has some shadow of American Idol. When fox bought the copyright, it cost US $67 million. Now it turns out to be a very successful business, but after all, my idea only stays on paper. How much money can be sold is really unknown." Andy gives Carl a white look of distress.
"Isn't it business negotiation? Now the main thing is to establish our copyright. We can invite several major TV stations to bid together. They know that if they have such an idea, there will be no creative collision." Karl's face was full of excitement, and he kept rubbing his hands and pacing back and forth in the study. "We should do it in the United States and the United Kingdom at the same time, first seize the English market, and then the high price ones."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Standing at the window and watching Carl's car disappear slowly, Andy is a little speechless about Carl's high enthusiasm. In his words, he will make CCA regret it, and he will shoot a bitch with his Ding Ding in the face!
