American Fortune Life

Chapter 176 Conditions and Persuasion

In the afternoon, in the coffee shop of the Hilton Hotel, Andy and Rob Freeman sat opposite each other. Andy did not go around in circles this time, but stated his conditions simply and directly.

"If Summit Entertainment wants the copyright of these two novels, then I need to get 25% of Summit Entertainment's shares! Don't worry, listen to me, I am very optimistic about the potential of these two novels being adapted into movies. I think many people in Hollywood agree, otherwise there would not be so many companies bidding. I bought the copyright of the "Twilight" series for more than 6 million. In my opinion, it is worth at least 10 million US dollars, plus the box office revenue. , The same is true of my "Hunger Games", after all, the sales volume of the first one has exceeded one million, and the data will not lie..."

Andy's words never stopped. At first, Rob Freeman wanted to interrupt Andy's persuasion several times, but when he heard Andy say: "What I have always pursued is to leave professional things to professional people. I have Several companies are managed by professional elites. In addition to its attractive distribution channels, you, Rob Freeman, the former CEO of Paramount, are also the reason why I care about investing in Summit Entertainment. If I If you successfully become a shareholder of Summit, I will choose to support you. I think another founder, as an insider, will naturally support you. Thinking about it this way, the company’s decision-making in the future will not be completely controlled by the board of directors. What do you think, I want to make random orders to laymen? I think my conditions are not too much..."

After Andy's voice fell, Rob Freeman, who was not very happy about Andy's big mouth, couldn't help but frowned slightly, and his lips moved slightly. This smart middle-aged man looked at Andy's eyebrows. There was still a hint of greenness in the young face, and there was a complicated and incomprehensible surprise in the eyes, and he fell into thinking in silence.

Andy didn't disturb the other party's thinking. We are all smart people, and some things can be revealed at a glance, so there is no need to say everything too straightforwardly.

Of course, Rob knows that there are too many mothers-in-law on his head, and how serious the constraints are on him. Fortunately, among the three shareholders, the original founder of the summit supports him, but the other two shareholders are not so easy to get along with. The most important thing is to make money, and I don't like Rob's behavior of scooping up the copyright of scripts and novels.

Does Hollywood lack scripts?

Do not make jokes,

Even restaurant waiters and taxi drivers in Hollywood are writing scripts, and any inconspicuous little person will talk about new scripts and new ideas when they meet, not to mention those film companies. The scripts in the Hollywood Screenwriters Guild are overwhelming. , there is no shortage at all.

First-rate script, second-rate actors, third-rate director. . .

First-rate director, second-rate script, third-rate actors. . .

First-rate actors, second-rate director, third-rate script. . .

This basically covers the operation mode of the world's film factories. What the two shareholders need is that their investment can make a lot of money. As for the company's development and background, they don't care.

Rob looked up at Andy, who was sitting opposite him, and said, "Although I am very optimistic about the potential of these two novels, I cannot guarantee that others will be equally optimistic. After all, before they become real data, they are just It’s just an imagination, and I have no confidence in convincing the company’s shareholders!”

Andy chuckled lightly, shook his head and said, "Mr. Freeman, everyone is a smart person, and you don't have to change concepts secretly. In this way, the film and television copyrights of my two series of novels within 50 years will cost 2,500 yuan." Ten thousand dollars, I don't want cash, I just want the shares of Summit Entertainment, isn't it clearer if you say that."

"..." Rob Freeman looked at Andy's young and handsome face with deep eyes. He didn't care much about the genius boy touted by the media before, but now it seems that he is not only a genius, but also a very A smart businessman holds enough attractive chips in his hands and understands the value of the chips in his hands, which is a headache.

"Okay! I have understood what you mean, Mr. Smith. However, I am just a professional manager. I have no right to speak or make decisions about the company's shares. I can only call the company's shareholders and ask them to make decisions. Decision. If nothing happens, we still hope to cooperate with Mr. Smith..."

Andy shook his head and laughed, and directly interrupted Rob Freeman's next words. The smile on his face disappeared, and he said with a hint of arrogance in a serious expression: "If you don't agree to my request, then we won't have another It's necessary to meet and discuss, after all, Summit Entertainment is just a new company, it's not worth me to entrust you with billions of IPs to operate!"

Rob Freeman didn't care about the arrogance in Andy's words. What he said was true, but he was curious about how much Andy assessed the value of the two IPs in his hands. However, seeing Andy Smith He had no intention of continuing the conversation, so he could only shake hands and say goodbye to the other party in disappointment.

Seeing Andy Smith leaving with his bodyguards, Rob Freeman couldn't help but sigh. Since the success of "Harry Potter", the best-selling adaptation rights of America's teenage themes have been rising all the way. I heard that Even the loss-making Marvel Company is in a lawsuit, preferring to lose money to get back some superheroes that were previously sold cheaply. Everyone seems to have a strong interest in those IPs that were not valued before.

Rob Freeman naturally understands the reason for this. With the development of technology and the continuous innovation of film technology, some magical and completely imagined scenes can now be made with computers. more and more popular.

As for film companies, in order to make profits and avoid losses, they naturally like to take out successful IPs to shoot sequels and are unwilling to take big risks to invest in new commercial blockbusters. If they hit the street, the losses will not be millions, but It may be tens of millions, which is enough for the company's behind-the-scenes bosses to fire their professional managers.

Look at the current Big Six, which one is not managed by hired professional managers, so it has become a basic consensus among them to prefer to cook cold rice and not make new ingredients to take risks, unless the big boss makes a decision.

Back in the hotel room, Rob Freeman held his mobile phone, frowned and hesitated for a while, and finally was influenced by Andy's persuasion. Adding a shareholder who supported him was undoubtedly beneficial to him. things.

"Mr. Pierce, I'm Rob. Things are not going well. I can't answer the conditions raised by Andy Smith. I can only call you..."

Andy was sitting in the car, with a smug smile on his lips. He could see how Rob Freeman was against him wanting to become a shareholder of the company. It seemed that the interior of Summit Entertainment was not very peaceful. .

This is also good, a disharmonious board of directors will be conducive to the completion of one's own plan.
