American Fortune Life

In a French restaurant in Manhattan, New York.

"Honey, Wendy invited us to attend the New York premiere of a movie tonight."

Ivana cut the steak on the plate in half, put half of the beef on Andy's plate with a fork, and said.

Andy stuffed a piece of beef into his mouth, chewed and asked with a frown: "What movie? She still can't sit still, is she going to the stage?"

"The "Blueberry Night" filmed by Karwai Wong from HK, the film starring Norah Jones, Jude Law, Natalie and Rachel Weisz, it seems that ziyizhang will attend with Vivi, and Wendy will also go, I called to invite The two of us." Ivana had heard Wendi introduce the situation before, and relayed it to Andy.

Andy just wanted to refuse, but seeing Ivana's big eyes blinking expectantly, he couldn't help but smiled, "You decide."

"Then go and have a look. I haven't seen Wendi for a long time, thank you, my dear." A happy sweet smile appeared on Ivana's face immediately, she stretched out her hand to grab Andy's hand, and said softly.

"Just be happy..." Before Andy finished speaking, the phone on the side of the table vibrated, and he couldn't help frowning slightly, put down the knife and fork, picked up the napkin to wipe the corner of his lower lip, and brought the phone over , After looking at it, it was obvious that it belonged to the little assistant.

"Say."

"Sorry, boss, I interrupted your meal. It was Mr. Brad Gray, the CEO of Paramount. He didn't know your private phone number, so he called down the work phone and said that there was something very important..."

"Ignore him. I'll talk about it when I go back in the afternoon. It's important? It's not important to him, not to me. Okay, that's it." After finishing speaking, Andy hung up the phone with a smile on his lips. Smiling mockingly, continue eating.

Ivana also shook her head and laughed. There was nothing she could do about her boyfriend's capriciousness at times, "Go home early in the afternoon and get ready. This premiere is still very lively, and the main creators will be present."

Andy said noncommittally while eating: "It doesn't matter, I have a suit, as long as you are beautiful, Wendi should invite you on her own, we will attend, haha, that is going to steal the movie limelight."

"Hehe." Ivana chuckled, "Wendi and International Zhang will jointly open a film company. Wendi also hopes to show more resources. I heard that there will be many Chinese media present."

"Ha~" Andy sneered,

"Joint film company? It depends on whether the international chapter and Vivi can last long, Wendy Murdoch..."

As he spoke, Andy shook his head meaningfully. Ivana was taken aback when she heard Andy's words, but after she figured it out, she shook her head noncommittally, and said with a smile, "International Chapter and Warner Films The major shareholder Vivi's love affair was initiated by Wendi, the two met on her yacht and fell in love HUO..."

"Hehe." Andy's eyes flashed a gleam, and he looked at Ivana with weird eyes and complained: "This woman really likes to match people."

Ivana raised her eyebrows, but didn't notice her boyfriend's weird eyes, "She just likes to use this method to manage her circle..."

"Yeah." Andy just hummed, and stopped discussing this topic. He really didn't like this woman Wendi. The purpose of doing it was too obvious, and it was almost written on his face as a philistine.

. . . . . .

After lunch, Andy sent Ivana back to the company, and he leisurely returned to the Newsweek Building. As soon as the elevator door opened, he saw three assistants, headed by Tori, waiting at the door. Greetings, nodded slightly, and walked towards the office.

Sitting on the boss's chair, Andy yawned lazily. Looking at the little assistant who had hung up his suit, the white shirt and black skirt twisted his waist and walked to him, reached out and patted her, and said: " Take a nap with me."

Tori's big eyes were shining with extraordinary splendor. She was naturally eager. After all, she had been separated from the Great Demon King for almost a month. with.

In the lounge, Andy was looking down at the little assistant helping him undress, when he heard the phone on the creation cabinet ring.

Tori walked over to pick it up and looked at it, and said to Andy who was already undressed and lying on the wound, "It's still the phone number of the CEO of Paramount."

Andy reached out to take the phone, lying on his back on the wound, pointed to the little assistant, gestured, and then answered the phone.

The little assistant's eyes filled with bright red like silk. . .

"...Hmmm!" Andy let out a light hum abruptly when he heard what the other party said, then took a deep breath, and after calming down, he said: "Mr. Gray, you shouldn't ask me for this kind of thing, you should I went directly to Carl. He bought the film production rights of "The Lost City of Z". To be honest, I didn't know about this matter because you didn't call to tell me... What, you said cooperation? I It's still the same sentence, it's really useless for you to find me for this kind of thing, it's better to talk to Carl directly..."

The corners of Andy's mouth turned up, and the expression on his face became more and more weird. After a soft hiss, he stretched out his hand and patted the top of Tori's head angrily. Nima, as if wearing an ascension amulet, accelerated instantly, almost Get splashed.

And listening to Paramount CEO Brad Gray's explanation and proposal with a wry smile on the phone, Andy didn't have the slightest idea to listen to it, let alone "The Lost City of Z", a real adventure that has a great influence in the West The right to adapt the story, that is, the general adaptation right, has fallen into the Mockingjay copyright company, which only eats and doesn't spit out. Don't even think about getting it without paying a big price.

Not to mention the increasingly difficult Carl. Ever since he became the new gatekeeper of Hollywood, this guy has become more and more ruthless. He has no interests involved. He is definitely a good buddy and a good friend, but once he has interests Question, then don't try to take advantage of him. If you don't get rid of the skin, the bastard Carl will want to slap his own mouth.

After a few perfunctory words, Andy hung up the phone, smacked his mouth a few times, picked up his mobile phone and went online to Google, and watched the story introduction of "The Lost City of Z", his eyes lit up, and he heard the other party's brief introduction before. Now, it seems that Carl's vision is indeed vicious enough, and he is quick enough to strike.

The manuscript was written by writer David Grain. The story is based on real people and events, mainly about exploring a mysterious ancient city lost in the Amazon in South America.

This ancient city has been shrouded in unknown and mysterious fog. The internal information about this "lost city" is recorded in the Royal Archives of Portugal, but there is no specific coordinates. It is only known that it is located in Mato Grosso, western Brazil. somewhere in the jungle.

Colonel Percy Foster, a British explorer, attempted to find the lost city known as "Z City", but disappeared mysteriously with his expedition team in 1925.

Over the next 70 years, countless explorers tried unsuccessfully to rediscover Foster's trail, including the 1996 Brazilian Expedition.

Seeing a few searches, Andy couldn't help but sneered, that's why.

It turned out that after Brad Pitt expressed his interest in participating in and producing "The Lost City of Z" in an interview, Paramount Pictures wanted to win the film production right as soon as he learned about it, but unfortunately, Carl, who was looking around to buy the copyright, bought the film and television copyright of this work like a rabbit.

Andy knows that the current Mockingjay copyright company is no longer a small company with three or two kittens. Carl has set up a special department to find valuable targets in the world of scripts every day. The goal, after all, the set of 'IP is king' instilled by Andy aims to produce content with long-term vitality and commercial value!

The key is that Andy has come all the way. IP, that is, the profit brought by intellectual property rights is undoubtedly a very amazing wealth. This makes Carl regard IP as the king as the goal of the company's struggle and pursuit. The behavior of acquiring copyright is almost crazy , Now that many Hollywood film companies have also joined the battle for IP resources, Carl has already made many people hate their teeth. You must know that once Carl takes a fancy to an IP, he really dares to spend money. Competitors who dare not spend money can only curse and complain.

Whenever this happens, Carl always looks at his opponent with contempt, and he doesn’t even have the thought of retorting. The best counterattack to these defeated opponents is to ignore them. The copyright is the greatest success. He said to Andy Pan-entertainment industry guidelines have long been regarded as the truth, ip is king, channels are king, and marketing is king!
