Chapter 908 (1/2)
Song Ya declined the interview of Vanity Fair magazine before. There were many photo reporters in front of the buffet table not far from the door. The stars could take pictures while eating and drinking there. He did not stay.
”We'll make new trailers and posters for the cat and mouse game. We'll put on the Oscar for best adapted screenplay, plus the Chicago Film Critics Association Awards that we've won before. The results will be very good and will help the global box office a lot.”
The CEO of Bowei pictures raised his champagne in his hand. ”Some countries that have not yet been released just take this opportunity to start painting. In some countries where the box office is not very good, we will try to restart the film layout, and beimi will also expand the cinema line All in all, congratulations to aplus, Linton and wish us success. ”
”Wish us success.”
Song ya, Linton and yelemov cheered with laughter. The game of cat and mouse in the award season has finally come to fruition. Although the best adapted script award does not boost the box office as best director and best film, it is also good. At least it can be promoted into an Oscar winning film. Otherwise, we all try our best to achieve something.
”Wish us success.”
Amy and Jerry deleto, and the other cat and mouse gamers who gathered together, all of them were laughing and cheering and clinking glasses.
Only John Malkovich didn't come. He said he would go home and have a rest. It's not in the mood to accompany the golden ball and Oscar again this award season.
”Anyway, that's it. Make yourself at home and enjoy the party.”
As the most important distribution company of Disney, the CEO of Bowei pictures still has a lot of social activities. After a few words of explanation, he left.
After all, the cat and mouse game crew also scattered. After all, it was a project that had already been filmed. We still need to take this opportunity to fight for the future, the new job, or the sexual intercourse tonight.
”And Harvey?”
Songya asked Linton. He always wanted to find out whether Harvey Weinstein had really contributed to the prize he had won. It seems that the Oscars voted for the cat and mouse game because of Johnny Carson.
”It's supposed to be in a room in a nearby hotel, where he'll only be found next to milasovino.”
Linton also has the same doubts, ”Harvey will not tell the truth aplus, he is a master of using the advantage of information asymmetry to gain benefits. If we want to find out what he has done for us in the Academy of film arts and Sciences, maybe he will ask us for the reward instead.”
”Ha! That fat man. ”
Song Ya smiles and concentrates on Amy's lobster.
”Mr Linton, aplus...”
The author of the original novel, legendary liar abagnier, came late, ”beautiful miss Adams.” He gave Amy a gentlemanly kiss on the back of her hand? Just the three of us. ”
”Yes, just a moment.”
Amy smiles and waits for song ya to gobble up, ”Mr. Linton, Mr. abagnier.” Leave cleverly.
”Over there?” Abagnier indicated.
”All right.” Linton and Sonya looked at each other and followed him to a slightly remote corner.
Song Yacai is for the sequel of cat and mouse game, that is, the film and television adaptation right project of abagnier's new novel ”the art of theft”. As expected, abagnier said mysteriously: ”I talked with someone here just now, and now the price of novel adaptation right is 4 million.”
Four million is the top price for this kind of deal. No, it may set a new record for non top novelists.
Abagnier is far from the best seller list writers like Stephen King and Tom Clancy, and even for writers of that level, the novel adaptation rights are rarely sold at this price. After all, it costs 4 million to buy the adaptation rights. How much does the film production cost to match it?
Novels or scripts are highly reproducible. Hollywood's follow suit movies are popular. The film company looks for a few professional screenwriters to change the story of the blockbuster movie, retain the basic outline and advantages, and then carefully decorate it, so you don't have to worry about being sued. Therefore, the overall salary of a screenwriter is the most difficult one in Hollywood.
”Four million is beyond our psychological price.”
Linton shakes his head. When Hollywood is a film company that retains the legacy of big studios and is heavily burdened, he has always been very sensitive to cost control. Half of the original cat and mouse game, that is, five million, he has to think twice. How can he spend four million to buy the film editing rights? Even if he shares it with a + film studio again, there will be 2 million, which is just beyond his bottom Line.
”Aplus, and you?”
Song Ya shook his head.
Abagnier refused to give up. ”I heard Jared Leto was willing to pay some.”
”He is not good soup, and he is not qualified to bring capital into the group.” Linton continued to shake his head.
”It's not without exception, when aplus made the first film of my life...” It's a must for a guy who can be called a legendary liar to stick around.”I paid most of the money, but the share was terrible.”
Song Ya shakes his head with Linton. Although there is no apocalypse in the sequel of cat and mouse game, he feels that it will not be too costly to make a sequel while Jared Leto is in the red. At least yelemov is very happy to see it, and he has nothing to do.
But in Hollywood, Linton is the top management of the film company that has the best personal relationship with him. He must keep consistent with the outside world.
”Four million? No more, I still tend to cooperate with the original team. ” Abagnel continued to lobby.
Linton began to show obvious impatience.
”No, Mr. abagnier, you know, Mr. Linton can't afford it, and he doesn't like your new novel...”
