Andy was drinking coffee as if he was old and god-like. He seemed to have no concern about the strange look of the three people on the other side looking at him. He knew very well that he had the initiative. No matter which film company came to him, he could only listen to his conditions.

The success of "Harry Potter" has made many film companies very jealous. The era of fan economy has arrived, and the huge fan consumption capacity has made many people full of interest in some potential IPs.

To be honest, Andy doesn't have enough US dollars now, otherwise he could lie on the banknotes and sleep on the banknotes with peace of mind. Unfortunately, he can't afford that much money now. Although it is very feasible to be able to spend some of the money and then guarantee the acquisition through the bank, Disney has long been eyeing Marvel and will not give Andy a chance at all. Another thing is that the immortal Stan Lee, this old guy is famously difficult to deal with.

Oh, it's a bit far away, so since the success of "Lord of the Rings" series, "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, "Spider-Man", "Batman", and especially "Harry Potter"'s popularity around the world, almost all of them have reached a consensus in the Hollywood industry that the future will belong to the world of series of movies, and original movies will be flooded by big IPs.

Don’t think that Hollywood did not understand the impact of series of movies on original movies in previous lives. They are all very clear. However, all the six majors are backed by large consortiums, and Wall Street people are investing in capital. Playing big productions and big investments is the result of hot money influx. As long as you can make money, capitalists will not care about art.

Hollywood is a big factory. It will produce whatever the market needs and likes. In his previous life, Andy watched Hollywood movies and always saw that most Asians were starring in the footbath. He rarely saw Chinese. If Chinese people appeared, they would choose some villains or small supporting roles, which felt very hurting their self-esteem.

The reason why the foot basin people are so popular in Hollywood is of course part of Sony Columbia's contribution. After the foot basin people control it, although it is the Americans who are operating it, the big boss is the foot basin people. Naturally, some of the cultural output is partly. Looking at the Hollywood movies, all the pirated Tang swords held by Nima in both hands, you will understand the knife in the mouth of the foot basin people.

Of course, the most important reason is that the foot basin country has always been the back garden of Hollywood. In addition to North America, the second largest ticket basin will naturally be more inclined toward the foot basin in terms of actors and plots.

This is also the reason why Hollywood film companies and celebrities licked each other in various ways after the Celestial Empire became the second largest stock store in the world. To put it bluntly, this is the market choice!

Andy's two best-selling novels sold so much, they will naturally be sought after by film companies. This also shows how great the potential is. The box office alone is enough to guarantee that the fans of the novels can be guaranteed, especially as the popularity of novels increases, their adaptation rights will become more and more valuable.

If you think about this, how could a person like Andy, who is a black-hearted, patient and paranoid, be anxious?

As an industry insider who has been working from a low-level employee in Hollywood to the executive president of Paramount, wouldn’t understand the importance of a good IP? Don’t joke, even the two followers around him don’t understand.

But they are used to fooling writers, or to spend millions to get the right to adapt film and television. Sometimes they even only cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Those writers will happily sign contracts, hoping to make a movie, and then they will drive more physical books to buy more.

Unfortunately, they met Andy, who knew the value of the novel copyright in their hands, and it was impossible for her to sell it at a low price. Just like J.K Rowling, who later regretted selling the copyright of "Harry Potter". In the end, the film company compromised and shared the box office share. After writing "Wonderful Creature", she did not sell it anymore, but chose to invest in the production of the movie by investing in the copyright.

So, no one in the world is a fool. If you meet such a person, then the other party definitely wants to treat you as a fool!

Andy's office was strangely silent, and no one on both sides spoke. To put it bluntly, no one knew how to talk, because the conditions of both sides were too far from what they thought.

Andy smiled and put down the coffee cup in his hand, looked at the time on the watch, coughed lightly, broke the silence that lasted for several minutes, and said, "It's already noon before you know it. In this way, you are guests from afar. At noon, I'll ask everyone to taste New York's food and put things at work first, how about it?"

Robert Freman was not polite. Well, the Americans don’t know what kind of politeness mean. If you invite him, he will really agree. He won’t understand that you are just polite.

Andy was not polite, but sincere. He wanted to have a good chat with Robert Freman. As a professional manager, it was definitely a very painful thing to have several bosses, especially two bosses who were completely laymen and wanted to make profits. Andy felt that he could convince Robert first and make him optimistic about his entry into Tingfeng Entertainment. If he could say something nice at a critical moment, then the key step of Andy's plan to occupy the nest will be completed.

As for whether he can convince Rob, Andy can only be a hehe. Rob is just a professional manager with that salary. If the board of directors joins a shareholder who supports him, do you think he will be happy?

As for whether Robert has betrayed the interests of the company, it doesn't exist. The film and television adaptation rights of the two best-selling novels are converted into American depots. The registered capital of Dingfeng Entertainment is only 100 million US dollars, so you can naturally invest in this. Of course, this requires the consent of the three shareholders who are not short of money now.

Everyone had a pleasant lunch at noon and the atmosphere was good. Everyone was talking about irrelevant off-topics. The people brought by Robert also talked about Hollywood celebrity gossip, which was very interesting. Some things Andy heard of them for the first time, especially the matter between Pete and Julie, which made Andy even more annoyed about this star couple who had always been hostile to the Celestial Empire.

Only then did Andy realize that "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" was released. After the script was released, Pitt's male lead was first decided, and then Pitt listed the list of actresses he wanted to partner with. At the beginning, Nicole Kidman was originally decided, and Nicole agreed, but later he stopped participating in the role for some reason. After Pitt found out, he refused to continue to participate. However, afterwards, someone told Julie that it was Julie to participate, so he immediately signed a contract in a hurry, and then sparked, got into trouble, cheating, scandal, divorce, and a big drama of being together was staged.
