This autobiography of "American Sniper" was published in mid-February. After more than a month of brewing, it broke out from next month in March and was on the New York Times bestseller ranking for two consecutive weeks. The autobiography attracted widespread attention from the media to the public, and Chris Kyle instantly became a celebrity in the United States.

At the same time, Chris Kyle and others' other co-written book "American Guns - Looking at American History from 10 Weapons", also successfully published, telling the story of 10 classic weapons he used.

In addition to starting a company and writing books, Chris Kyle is also committed to helping retired veterans overcome "post-traumatic stress disorder". He co-founded a non-profit organization called the "fitco Care Foundation" to establish a "Hero Project" to provide physical rehabilitation equipment, personal training, life assistance, psychological treatment and other services for veterans who are injured and mentally injured.

All of these make Chris Kyle more eye-catching.

Best-selling autobiography like this is much more valuable to Hollywood than any creative script. Chris Kyle and "American Sniper" inevitably become the targets of some small and medium-sized Hollywood companies or producers.

Matthew can see the value of Chris Kyle's unique resume, and others can naturally see it.

Moreover, because of Taya Kyle's relationship, Bella Anderson and the Kyle have not signed a formal agreement on the authorization negotiations for autobiography.

Everyone wants to maximize the value of what they have in their hands, and the Chris Kyle couple is no exception.

Many producers or representatives from Hollywood production companies have contacted Chris Kyle and Taya Kyle to win the copyright of "American Sniper".

"Taya, Matthew's bid is very reasonable."

Entering a private club, Chris Kyle said to Taya Kyle as he walked, "The five million dollar copyright buyout is the highest among all, and there will be no autobiography without Matthew's reminder."

He stressed, "Matthew is also a partner of our military contracting company, and I think the copyright should be transferred to him first."

Taya Kyle shook his head, "This is business, my dear!" Someone passed by, and she said in a low voice, "Chris, your experience is unique and cannot be copied. We have transferred this time, and there will be no second time! We deserve the highest income."

Chris Kyle was a little dissatisfied, "Matthew's bid is very sincere."

"Sincerity?" Taya Kyle sneered and said, "That's because he saw your worth, so he deliberately made friends with you!"

"It's not what you said." Chris Kyle has always had a very good impression of Matthew.

But he served for ten years and felt that he owed his wife and family a lot, and he didn't speak out any more.

Taya Kyle and others walked away, raised their voices slightly, and said, "Dear, haven't you ever thought about it? Matthew Horner is a leftist, why should he make friends with conservatives from Texas? Because of the interests!"

Chris Kyle disagreed with this statement. It has nothing to do with the party, it is purely a personal impression.

"Now somebody offers higher prices." Taya Kyle shook his head, "Why don't we talk to people? Why should we tie it to Matthew Horner's tree?"

"Aren't I here?" Chris Kyle said helplessly.

The two soon saw the middleman of the publishing house in front of a small independent house. The middleman took them into the house and introduced them to both parties.

"Taya, Chris, this is the head of Weinstein Pictures, Harvey Weinstein." The intermediary introduced, "Harvey, this is Chris Kyle, this is Taya Kyle."

After both sides greeted each other, the middleman from the publishing house took the initiative to say goodbye and leave.

"Two, I've paid special attention to the book "American Sniper". "Harvey Weinstein is still the same old style. Whether it speaks or looks, he has the arrogance and strength of Hollywood giants. "I intend to adapt this novel into a movie."

Chris Kyle frowned slightly. Even the generals of the Pentagon would not use this tone to speak to him.

Taya Kyle gently held her husband's hand. This was not an army, but a business place.

"Mr. Weinstein," Taya Kyle said lightly, "There are many film companies that focus on the autobiography of "American Sniper."

Harvey Weinstein has done some knowledge before coming, and knows that many small and medium-sized companies are concerned about the adaptation rights of this autobiography. Although they don’t know which ones are, these companies are very small in scale and none of them can compare with Weinstein Pictures.

"Weinstein Pictures is very sincere about this cooperation." Harvey Weinstein said this, but he couldn't change his usual style of doing things with small people, and always seemed a bit arrogant. "I'm willing to buy out the copyright of this autobiography for $3 million."

Three million US dollars? Taya Kyle remained calm, but was thinking in his heart that this was the first time Harvey Weinstein offered a price, and the two sides should have a talk. If the negotiations were completed, the transfer price might exceed 5 million US dollars, so...

Chris Kyle's brow frowned slightly again and looked at Harvey Weinstein. The impression of this man gave him was too bad. His appearance was quite vulgar, his arrogance was uncovered, and his expression on his face was arrogant, which was really hard to make people feel good.

He remembered Matthew's Pinghe himself, both of whom were in the film industry, so the gap was so big?

Are you more famous than Matthew? Or are you more capital than Matthew?

But Chris Kyle remains silent because Taya Kyle is still talking to Harvey Weinstein.

Taya Kyle negotiated with Harvey Weinstein for a while. Harvey Weinstein did not mean to increase the price, but there was a faint smell in his words: it was their honor to hand over the autobiography to him, Harvey Weinstein for operation and shooting.

The transfer price of this three million US dollars is not even comparable to that of Matthew Horner, so Taya Kyle is certainly not happy.

"You must understand that it is very rare to cooperate with Weinstein Pictures." Harvey Weinstein has enough confidence. "We can work together to make an excellent movie. Autobiographical movies have always been a popular Oscar!"

He began to write a blank check, "In the future, I will do my best to operate the adapted movie to win the Oscars. Once I can win the heavyweight Oscar award, the film will have world-class influence."

Taya Kyle looked at Chris Kyle, and Chris Kyle didn't say anything.

Perhaps because the Oscar Little Golden Man got too much, Harvey Weinstein looked confident and strong again, "Mr. Kyle, you will become a celebrity in the world by then!"

"Oh..." Taya Kyle asked when he heard this, "Since it is worthy of Oscars, the copyright of the movie "American Sniper" is more than $3 million, right?"

The other party only nominates but does not talk about profit, thinking that they will be confused by false reputation?

These words made Harvey Weinstein a little angry. He raised a finger and shook it. As in previous negotiations, he said disdainfully, "Without my operation, "American Sniper" is worthless at the Oscar!"

The negotiations were nothing more than that, with all kinds of coercion and inducement, and finally the two sides reached a compromise.

According to normal procedures, Cataya Kyle continued to bargain.

But Chris Kyle is not an ordinary person, he crawled out of the dead on the battlefield, so he had no patience to get entangled with such a guy who made him sick.

Before Taya Kyle could speak, Chris Kyle shook his head and said, "We don't need to talk."

"Chris..." Taya Kyle was also dissatisfied with Harvey Weinstein, but there was still room for talks, "We..."

Chris Kyle, a cowboy from Texas, stood up immediately, "Let's go."

Although Taya Kyle pursued the maximization of interests, he had made up his mind when he saw that his husband had made up his mind and did not want to refute him in front of outsiders, so he stood up.

"You have to think about it!" A hint of displeasure flashed across Harvey Weinstein's face. "If you miss Weinstein Pictures, it will be difficult for you to find a more suitable partner."

Chris Kyle glanced at him and said coldly, "No need." He really couldn't stand this person, so he couldn't help but add, "There are many film companies in Hollywood."

Harvey Weinstein smiled, "But there are very few companies that can pay a lot of money to buy copyright."

This is the truth, and Taya Kyle also knows this, but a company has already offered a higher price than Weinstein Pictures, so she has enough confidence.

Compared with the vague promises of the future, she values ​​the benefits she can truly grasp.

Seeing that the two were unmoved, Harvey Weinstein said, "Two, let's think about it carefully. Cooperating with Weinstein Pictures can be a win-win situation. If you don't cooperate..." He said with a faint warning in his tone, "I can guarantee that one thing, no matter who you sell the copyright to in the future, there is no possibility of winning the Oscars in the film!"

Hearing these threatening words, Chris Kyle subconsciously touched his waist, and Taya Kyle quickly grabbed him. She was not sure if her husband had a gun today.

Chris Kyle glanced at Harvey Weinstein, pulled Taya Kyle, and walked away without looking back.

Just as the Chris Kyle and Taya Kyle left the private club, Matthew, who was in the studio, got the news about it.

"Nothing is wrong?" Matthew sat in an office chair and asked Bella Anderson across the street, "Is the person the Kyle couple meeting Harvey Weinstein?"

Bella Anderson nodded extremely seriously, "It's not wrong. The person who came here was the editor-in-chief of the publisher who was in charge of "American Sniper". He said that another editor-in-chief acted as a middleman between both sides behind his back."

Matthew put his hands crossed on his desk, and Harvey Weinstein was becoming more and more disgusting.

"You call the Kyle first and find out what's going on." Matthew made a quick decision. "I think about how to fight back against Harvey Weinstein."
