With the release of "Twilight: Dawn (Part 2), there were three movies invested or starring Matthew in the North American film market for a time being. Although the screenings of the other two have entered the final stage, they cannot be ignored because they have achieved box offices that can only be described as big explosions.

"American Sniper", which was released in mid-September, has been released for more than two months, and the box office in North America alone has reached 39.56 million US dollars. The global box office is easily surpassed the large scale of "Edward and Isabella" that are serialized, which are quite dissatisfied with the male and female protagonists, but in the end, they didn't say much.

Of course, this is also because Matthew promised her that the protagonist's name would be changed soon.

This fan is using the names of Edward Karen and Isabella Swan to get the popularity of the "Twilight" series. When it has attracted enough attention, the identity of the "Twilight" fan will no longer bring much help.

So, this movie, originally called "The King of the Universe" on the Internet, started in early 211, and Matthew made a comprehensive revision.

The names of the male and female protagonists were changed from Edward Cara and Isabella Swan to Christian Grey and Annastasia Steele respectively, and were also renamed "The Fifty Shadows of Grey".

As for the content, of course it is a story about Super Mary Sue and the domineering president falling in love.

When an innocent 21-year-old female college student, Anna Stacia Steele, went to interview the handsome 2-year-old entrepreneur Christian Gray because she wrote a report for the school newspaper, she met a beautiful, intelligent and intimidating person.

In terms of description, the extraordinary, innocent Anna was surprised to realize that she wanted this person, and despite his mysteriousness, she still longed to approach him.

The male protagonist Gray could not resist Anna's quiet beauty, wisdom and independent spirit, and Gray wanted her too much.

However, Gray's taste is very strange...

The content is actually very bad, but because of some special descriptions, it attracted millions of attention when it was serialized on the Internet. After the book was renamed as "Fifty Shadows of Gray", it not only did not have a negative impact on the name change, but instead attracted more readers.

As for the reason, one of the paragraphs is a description with a relatively small scale, which can be seen.

"The flame shall not be used; any acts related to excrement shall not be involved; no bloody behaviors such as needle stabbing or knife insertion shall not be involved; no children or animals shall be added as props; no permanent scar shall be left on the skin; no restriction shall be allowed..."

To put it simply, this is a book that translates detailed texts such as training, s and m, sex and color. As for the specific plot, it is better not to mention it.

Matthew himself has limited cultural cultivation and does not have the ability to write. The female gunman he hired was not of great level, otherwise he would not be a gunman who did not even have copyright. However, this female gunman has an advantage. She brought herself completely into the role of Isabella or Annastasia. Not only did she use first-person descriptions, she also tirelessly described those sensitive contents in detail.

Taboos bring curiosity, and curiosity can often form the desire to buy.

The book is also divided into trilogies, with the suffixes of "Training", "Binding" and "Free" added to "First Shadows of Gray", and was fully published and launched in May this year.

It is no exaggeration to say that this series casts a huge rock in the unremitting world.

On the first day of the launch of the three films, 300,000 copies were sold in Los Angeles and New York alone. One month later, the global sales exceeded 30 million copies.

This is a very scary number, even surpassing the sales volume of the Harry Potter series when it was released only three.

No one could have thought that such a book would create such a result, and even Matthew did not expect this result because it was really amazing.

Without any accident, the ghostwriter sued Matthew in court with a complaint, saying that he had used fraudulent means to infringe on copyright, but the lawsuit came soon enough. How could a person like Matthew who looked at the world with the worst eyes not expect that the other party might have such a reaction?

When the Gunner serialized, he was just an otaku who liked to write some private female articles on his blog. He was not a member of any organization related to copyright or book union. The copyright buyout and pen-appointment contract signed by both parties is not a private contract. He has endorsed a lawyer's firm, and has made clear justice. There are even public videos of the Gunner signing resources to sell copyright.

This is destined to be an easy-to-win copyright company.

Matthew did not hesitate at all, and capital did not need to hesitate in the face of profits. After all, the two parties had signed a complete and clear agreement before.

From the perspective of some people, it seems that the ghostwriter's request for 15% of copyright income is not too much.

But more than two months after this book was published, Universal Pictures and Focus Pictures jointly invested to purchase the copyright of the film of the trilogy of "Grey's Fifty Shadows" from Matthew, and their bid was as high as 80 million US dollars!

The single volume of books almost reached the cost of Sony Columbia Pictures purchasing the copyright of "Da Vinci Code" that year. It was so sensational when "Da Vinci Code" was published and launched. Sony Columbia Pictures claimed that the copyright fee was $140,000 when it was promoted.

In fact, of course there is not so much. There is more than 30 million US dollars. Matthew and Aziva Gossman have worked together many times, and Aziva Gossman alone is paid as much as six million US dollars as the screenwriter.

However, Matthew politely declined Universal Pictures and Focus Pictures. The box office of this series may not be particularly high due to the existence of film ratings, but the restrictions on DVD discs are much smaller. By then, DVDs will be launched and will most likely create one of the few high sales in recent years.

This series has gathered a large number of readers. Even now, in North America, a trilogy can be sold in two seconds on average, conquering the Amazon Bookstore list, the top three in the New York Times best-selling list, and even defeating the Hunger Games series, and has long been ranked first in the best-selling list.

Currently, nearly 100 million copies of the book are sold worldwide, each of which brings an average of 76% profit. Excluding the fees paid to Random House, Matthew's studio can make more than 40% profit for every one sold.

The item is $25 and the set is $59.9. Not to mention the movie, the sales volume alone is an astronomical income.

Matthew also asked Helen Hermann to help him pay attention to the appropriate screenwriter and director candidates.
