Legendary Hollywood Director

What Fox signed with Lauren is an adaptation that is very common in the industry.

Focusing on the film and television adaptation copyright of The Devil Wears Prada, Fox paid an advance payment of 5 million to obtain the copyright for the adaptation of the novel for 5 years - if Fox does not perform the film and television production of the novel within 5 years, the copyright will automatically return to Lauren hand.

In addition, once the film is filmed, the author Lauren will be fully involved, including script adaptation, casting rights, and promised appearances, as well as 10% of the total revenue from the box office after the film is released and offline copyright promotion.

It seems that this contract seems to be very good, and Fox is very sincere in the adaptation - this is why Lauren is excited to agree with the reference of professional lawyers.

It's a pity that Fox's conduct is not so noble at all.

They can just shoot a bad Fantastic Four drama to increase the adaptation time and fool Marvel, not to mention that they will pay attention to such projects where original novels are only a little marketable.

So, they paid 5 million in advance, and they only paid 2 million, and the remaining 3 million won't be given until the project starts.

The reason why this happened was originally the result of Fox's perfunctory.

After all, this year, novel adaptation is also a popular trend in film and television production. The Harry Potter series and the Lord of the Rings series are in the first place. Fox is just fighting the enemy, hoarding the market, and increasing the space for his own project selection.

As for any promising empty talk, it's all bullshit. Fox only looks at interests. As long as the prospects are suitable, he will naturally shoot.

The urging of the original author, Lauren, is of no use other than disgusting.

Or maybe the adaptation contract is about to expire, and Fox may be disgusted again, just take some money to fool around and continue to hold the copyright for a long time - no studio has done this kind of thing less, the core is the procrastination decision.

Johnson read the contents of the signed contract in detail, and hurriedly returned to caa to mobilize resources to inquire about Fox's internal project production - if you want to make a film, you have to set up a project, and you can find out if you want to make a film, and if you find an actor, you can't get around caa , after all, caa has the largest share and the most resources in Hollywood.

There is good news and bad news.

The good news is that Fox did not set up a production project; the bad news is that in 2003, Fox wanted to shoot, but couldn't find a suitable director, so it was shelved - Fox's initial selection of director was Peter Hedges ( I have filmed April Fragment and Deep Love), but after changing the script, he didn't like the story, he felt hypocritical and disgusting, and he didn't know how to continue adapting it, so he didn't pick it up.

After checking the information, I have a bottom line.

Johnson replied to Lehmann with general information about the work.

Lyman was also surprised when he heard it.

He never thought that this matter was so complicated, it was just a whim, and he saw the news of such a popular novel in the newspaper. He knew the general trend of the future, he just wanted to pursue some interests, and he never thought about such twists and turns.

Otherwise, forget it. Lehmann found it troublesome.

But Johnson said, Is there an adaptation market for this novel?

There are still some, and female fans may like it very much. Lehmann said vaguely.

Then try again,

I got someone to contact Fox to bring this project up.

Will they agree? Fox doesn't lack this royalty fee. Lyman was a little skeptical.

Don't worry, I will invite the author of the novel to fight together. Anyway, Fox has no plans to shoot in the near future, why not let it go? Besides, I have met the author, and she is quite knowledgeable, so she is not easy to fool, especially after eating On the premise of a loss. Johnson carefully sorted out the plan and said with some confidence.

Then, you can't use the name of Firefly Pictures, or Fox will never let go. - In the current situation, if Firefly Pictures gets involved in this project, it will be hard not to attract Fox's attention, after all, who doesn't know Hollywood Ryman is very discerning, and the projects he makes don't lose money.

Do you have any other avenues? Lyman asked again.

Use an empty shell, get the copyright first, and then transfer to Firefly Pictures. Johnson suggested.

There are many such shell companies in Hollywood. For example, at the beginning, most of the director’s personal studios were established only to better use investors to participate in project production.

Okay, wait for my news.

...

The mansion in Beverly Hills.

Eva was writing and drawing on the sofa, looking lazy.

After a while, Lyman returned.

Hearing the movement, Eva asked in surprise, Why did you come back so early today? Is the company okay?

Yes, but I want to talk to you.

What? Eva asked.

Do you know Gail-Anne Hurd?

I know. Eva looked like you thought I didn't understand anything.

And this is one of the best gold medal producers in the circle. He has participated in a series of blockbuster movies such as Terminator series, Alien series, Abyss, Sweet Moments, etc., and his net worth is extremely high.

At least, it is not much worse than Lehman's personal worth at this time, and her studio is also very famous in the circle. The reason is that the projects that this strong woman likes are often sold out.

And Annie Hurd is most talked about by selecting Maxima James Cameron, winning his script adaptation work with one dollar, and helping to develop the Terminator project. Of course, they got married later, and after four years, they divorced again.

Why do you say this? Eva was a little strange.

Don't you have further plans for your career? Lehmann continued to hint.

I think filming is good.

This is Eva's truest thought.

She is quite independent in her bones, and even though Lehmann is already the owner of a studio, she doesn't think about too much trouble-if there is a suitable role, it doesn't matter.

It is precisely because of her temperament, or restraint, that Lyman has become better and better with her senses.

Well, I think you can try to expand the business scope of production. You are not short of fame now. After many actors become famous, they will try to rise from participants to producers. This is not only the improvement of status, but also Resource monetization channel. You can now reach a lot of people.”

But I've never done that.

You can always learn.

I like acting.

I didn't ask you to give up. You can make a good project without encountering a good project. This will not delay.

Eva thought about it for a while before regaining her spirits.

It seemed that she was persuaded.

Finally, Lehman said again: I will register a shell film company in your name, and you will learn how to produce in the future.

What's the name?

Grimm Films.
