"A moving parable, written through brilliant imagination, about the anguish of loss and the pain of adolescence." - Los Angeles Times

"Dark Fairy Tales is a captivating, magical, and well-conceived book, written with clarity and intrigue." -USA TODAY

Andy was a little flattered to read the book reviews of the major newspapers. He knew that "Dark Fairy Tales" was not as good as some newspapers boasted. Bar.

The book review of "USA Today" is very pertinent, written in a clear and engaging way, which is indeed his current way of writing, the description of the movie scene, the picture is full. Andy folded the newspapers one by one and put them on the side of the dining table, Continue to eat his Chinese and Western breakfast.

After breakfast, after a short rest, he started exercising in the fitness room. Under the guidance of a fitness coach for a month, his fitness training has become a habit.

After a month of understanding, the fitness coach found that Andy's physical fitness was not as weak as it seemed on the surface. Instead, he found that his strength was improving rapidly with exercise, but Andy didn't know how to use this strength, just blindly Therefore, the coach suggested that Andy learn boxing and yoga to better control the strength of the body.

Seeing the muscles on his body become more and more obvious, Andy was a little distressed, he didn't want to be that kind of muscular man.

As for Huaxia Kungfu, Andy has nothing to think about. He has no foundation to practice since childhood. Just relying on this brute force is just a flower in the mirror in the water. wronged.

Boxing and yoga can not only control the way of using strength but also exercise the flexibility of the body. It is easy to find a coach, but it is really a needle in a haystack to find a powerful martial arts master. As for those martial arts gyms, Andy can only laugh.

After an hour of exercise, Andy sweated all over, wiped the sweat from his face and neck with a towel, took off his shoes and socks while sitting on the lounge chair, walked into the bathroom with bare feet, and took off his body and got wet with sweat. sports vest and shorts, turn on the water valve and start taking a shower.

Thinking of the new book he was going to write, he couldn't help but hesitate a little. It was really difficult to choose between "Bourne Bourne", "National Treasure" and "Inception".

It seems that the themes of espionage warfare and treasure hunting cannot be published at present. After all, he still has the aura of a young writer, and he has no experience and accumulation, so how can he be convincing.

On the contrary, the story of "Inception" can be written. As for the original author and director Nolan, Andy will not care. The script or something is not in his consideration. The script written by a new Hollywood screenwriter is only 50,000 to 80,000 US dollars. A screenwriter with an annual salary of 600,000 is the treatment of a famous screenwriter. Compared with the income of a famous writer Simply a world apart.

Put on comfortable casual clothes, go to the study, sit in front of the computer and start thinking with closed eyes.

The story of "Inception" is about Dom Cobb, an experienced thief, who is considered the most powerful in this line, because he can infiltrate people's most fragile dreams and steal the subconscious. Valuable secrets. Cobb's rare skill makes him the most coveted target of dangerous corporate espionage, but it also makes him an international fugitive who loses his love. Now Cobb has a chance at redemption,

As long as he completes the last mission, his life will return to its original state. Unlike in the past, Cobb and his team's mission this time is not to steal ideas, but to implant them. If they succeed, it's a perfect crime. But even if careful and professional arrangements are made in advance, it is impossible to predict that the dangerous enemy already knows their actions well, and only Cobb can predict the whereabouts of the enemy.

Andy squeezed his fingers lightly,

When I started typing, there was a knock on the door, and Andy, who was busy on the keyboard, said "please come in" without raising his head, and then continued to crack a paragraph.

"Sir, your coffee." Liu Yan put the coffee on the desk.

"Thank you," Andy raised his head and said with a gentle smile, his fingers didn't stop typing, and it seemed that it was not difficult for him to do both.

Watching Liu Yan leave the study, Andy looked at the written part. The use of words became more and more skillful and appropriate, and the description was very graphic. It seems that his fake writer is still qualified, Andy shrugged and drank the fragrant coffee, but this kind of life in a dead house was a bit hard, and he sighed softly.

Now that everything has a plan, it will be done unswervingly. Once this book is published, it will definitely attract the attention of major Hollywood film companies and directors. This is also the stepping stone to becoming famous in this film factory in Hollywood, and must be taken seriously.

"My life has only just begun."

Two days later, the negotiations between Nielsen and NBC also entered the final stage. Since NBC and CBS learned that the idea of ​​the talent show had sold the British rights for 20 million pounds, they contacted Nielsen again to ask for negotiations. It's just that due to the price, CBS finally withdrew from the bidding. They believed that it was too risky to spend tens of millions of dollars to buy a program idea.

However, NBC is more determined to buy the copyright. They are too jealous of the ratings of FOX's American Idol every spring. Since the British ITV is willing to spend a lot of money to buy the copyright, they will not be stingy. This amount of money, for NBC, which is willing to spend 12 billion US dollars to buy the North American broadcast rights of the Olympic Games, is nothing tens of millions.

Apple's stock has begun to rebound, and Andy doesn't want to drag it on. In this way, on the premise that both parties are interested in cooperation, they both made concessions. NBC spent 40 million US dollars plus 5% of advertising revenue to get North America. Copyright (Canada, United States and Mexico).

At Andy's request, NBC agreed to only cover Mockingjay's rights company when promoting it, downplaying Andy's status as the show's founder.

As soon as the money arrived, Andy met with his financial management team, still the same request, to buy all Apple shares.

And David was a little speechless about the boss's paranoia. He advised him more than once that he couldn't put all his eggs in one basket, and there were many potential stocks that could be manipulated. However, Andy was noncommittal about this, although David's suggestion Not adopted, but still expressed appreciation and praise for his professionalism.

For Jobs, for smartphones, the future Andy knew what kind of change they would bring to the world.

After the British ITV got the copyright of the talent show, it began to operate with full force. Because of the detailed program process and planning written by Andy, after two weeks of preparation, after completely copying Andy's suggestions for the judges, Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden became a judge on Britain's Got Talent.

Because only the semi-finals are broadcast live, the advertisements for the talent show have been fully launched in the UK, and the momentum is huge. The champion won not only a false name, but also a prize of 100,000 pounds and the opportunity to perform for the British royal family.

The program selection is not limited to age, region, or race. During the audition, no matter which city the program team comes to, it will trigger a wave of registrations. The program has already detonated the enthusiasm and curiosity of the British people before it was broadcast.

Everyone wants to be a star, take away bonuses, all kinds of strange people, all kinds of strange talents, plus the merciless judgment of the three judges and the dazzling X-shaped red light undoubtedly make people full of expectations for this show.

The UK's Got Talent show is in full swing and has become the object of the British newspapers.

"Only what you can't think of, there's nothing you can't see, America's Got Talent, I want you to look good this summer!"

This advertisement appeared on almost all NBC TV stations, and they even pushed the bonus to $1 million. Every day, the phone inquiries about registration matters were almost exploded. .

The summer has just begun, and America's Got Talent is under the auspices of Regis Philbin, and the show's judges include David Hasselhoff (Knight Rider), Piers Morgan and Brandy Norwood.

A singer with a wild voice, a middle-aged man in his fifties but still showing off his strong muscles, a folk acrobat performer, a dancer with a mediocre dance... With the performance of all kinds of strange contestants, the judges also became more and more More and more sarcastic.

The first episode aired a peak in ratings and set off a wave in the United States, with NBC executives watching the skyrocketing ratings and the cheque-waving sponsors with joy.

Andy watched the first episode at home and had a smug smile on his face when he learned the ratings numbers at the end of the show.

With a successful example, the copyright in his hand is easy to sell. As for the plagiarism problem in some countries, he can only laugh at it. It is a common phenomenon in Huaxia cottages, and he has long been used to it. Besides, he is also a plagiarized idea.

It's just that he still has two program ideas in his hand that he hasn't sold yet. When the talent show has set off a wave in the world, he will throw it out, and then he will be able to make a lot of money.
