Heads Up Hollywood

After all, it is the heroine, and Lily Collins was also assigned a lounge.

It's okay in front of the outside, and Lily can still hold on.

But when he got to the lounge, his whole body seemed to be limp, and he just leaned back on the seat, crooked and not sitting.

"Twain, tell them, please change me to a better lounge, this broken chair is too hard, it hurts my ass!" Lily Collins kept acting coquettishly with a bitter face.

Tang En didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "It's almost done. Look at her, Teresa, and train with you. She is much stronger than you."

Lily Collins complained as soon as she kicked her legs, "I won't make action movies anymore, I'm almost falling apart. Hey, that's right!" She picked up something from the dressing table in front as if she suddenly discovered something. A best-selling book with a red and green cover, excitedly said: "I want to shoot this!"

You can tell from the packaging of the book that this is a youth book, a popcorn book for teenagers.

Tang En had no interest at all, "Shooting your movie honestly has given you a chance to become a star, so don't let it slip."

"No, this book is really good! Even better than "Harry Potter"!" Lily Collins strongly recommended.

Tang En said: "Harry Potter is a children's book!"

"Look at it, it's really good. The "New York Times" is strongly recommending it. It's the best-looking new work that appeared this year, ranking higher than "Harry Potter"!"

"oh?"

Tang En's face straightened, and then he took the book.

Authoritative newspapers like the "New York Times" are all on the platform, and it seems that it is indeed a remarkable book.

After taking it over and looking at it, I couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

The name on the cover is "Twilight Saga"!

Lily Collins didn't care about her sore waist and leg pain, and she said happily: "This book is really good, it tells a love story of a vampire, it's touching. I really like Isabella, if it can be made into a movie... I am the heroine!"

Tang En said angrily: "The heroine? It's easy to say! Hurry up and train hard, practice the action scenes well, it will help your acting career in the future."

All in all, but looking at the novel in my hand, my heart is still moved.

This is a magical masterpiece in the post-Harry Potter era!

The poignant love story of love between man and ghost is really sad, tragic and touching.

Tang En did not hesitate, and immediately called his assistant: "Tosca, there is a bestseller in the market called "Twilight", which is very good. Please contact me and let Rose Films take care of it. Sign the copyright, and then develop this project within 3-5 years.”

Tosca Musk did not hesitate: "Okay, I will do it right away."

In terms of movies, no one is qualified to question Tang En's decision.

Just do it.

Lily Collins was a little dumbfounded at first, but then her heart was as sweet as honey, and she threw herself into Tang En's arms, and said inexplicably, "Tang En, you are so kind to me!"

She saw all of Tang En's actions.

Tang En has obviously never read the novel "The Twilight Saga", and he hasn't even flipped through it.

The results of it?

I casually said a few words about my fantasy, saying that I liked this love story and wanted to play the heroine Isabella, and then... Tang En called his assistant directly to buy the copyright!

Is there anything more moving than this?

She didn't know at all that Tang En would sign the copyright of "Twilight" because the fundamental reason was to make money.

And make a lot of money!

Tang En touched his nose, "Moved?"

"Well, very touching."

"Why don't you be my little wife and stay with Taylor."

"ah?"

Lily Collins broke free from Tang En's embrace at once, her face flushed, and she snorted softly, "Don't even try to abduct underage girls! I'll talk about it when I grow up!"

...

"Boss, someone contacted the author of "Twilight" before us. The author is a housewife who has never seen the world." In the afternoon, when Tang En returned to the company, Tosca Musk came forward to report.

"Oh? Who is it?"

"It's Summit Entertainment."

Today's Summit Entertainment is not the famous independent production company that was later.

The reason why Summit Entertainment became famous is because of the successful development of the "Twilight Saga" series, which earned more than one billion dollars from this series, and then became famous all over the world.

"Just grab it." Tang En said indifferently, "I believe that the author lady is a smart person and can make the right choice between New Universal and Summit Entertainment."

"The problem is that the deposit has been paid."

"How much?"

"$300,000."

"What about breach of contract?"

"Three times the compensation."

Tang En sneered, "Get it done! I just want to get the copyright of "Twilight"! Remember, it's 100% copyright!"

Tosca Musk nodded, "Okay."

"By the way, what's going on with "A Song of Ice and Fire"? That old guy still doesn't agree to authorize it?" Tang En has been paying attention to this set of books for several years.

As a result, Old Martin refused to transfer the copyright easily.

In his early years, he worked in Hollywood as a screenwriter.

Because I was hurt by Hollywood, I changed my career and became a writer to write.

Tosca Musk said: "His writing speed is relatively slow. He probably wants to wait a few years and have a few more physical books before making film and television works."

"This old stubborn!" Tang En waved his hand and said angrily, "Keep an eye on him all the time, as long as he agrees, he will sign it for me! I didn't get "Lord of the Rings", "The Chronicles of Narnia", "Harry" Potter, "Twilight" and "Game of Thrones", the four major magical classics, all belong to me! All of them are mine!"

Tosca Musk didn't know why the boss was going crazy again, he suddenly thought of something, and said: "By the way, the film and television department has typed up a report, saying that New Line Films intends to restart the "Lord of the Rings" series. Got in touch with Peter Jackson, seems to want to get him out again."

"Rebooting The Lord of the Rings? The Hobbit?"

"Yes, the Hobbit."

"Why didn't you report to me?"

Tosca Musk said lightly: "It's a trivial matter, Bill disagrees, and I don't like it, so I just refused."

Tang En said: "Of course, we must refuse, categorically refuse! Isn't Warner and Paramount and Columbia Pictures engaged in some kind of friendly mutual assistance in film distribution? This time, we will suppress them!"

Tosca Musk pursed his lips and smiled: "I knew it!"

Tang En said coldly: "Not only is it suppressed, the movie version of "The Hobbit"... Humph! It will never be released!"

Copyrighting The Hobbit is complicated.

The film's production rights are in the hands of producer Sal Zaentz, who is partnering with New Line Pictures.

The distribution copyright of the film is in MGM, which now belongs to New Universal.

If New Universal doesn't distribute it, even if New Line Pictures makes "The Hobbit" it's useless!

Can't show!

In other words, if Tang En didn't nod, Warner and New Line Pictures could only stare and worry.

At the same time, Tang En bought the TV copyright of "The Hobbit" early on.

This is very important.

Starz is determined to shoot classic American dramas.

The current main American dramas are "The Walking Dead" and "Warcraft", followed by "Roma", "Six Feet Under" and "Veep".

In the long run, "Game of Thrones" will definitely belong to Starz.

Also include The Hobbit!

New Universal and New Line Films co-produced "The Hobbit". How much money can New Universal make?

The weight of the distribution right is equivalent to 25% of the production copyright.

That is to say, for the development of the "Hobbit" movie series, New Universal can only earn 25% of the income of this series, and Warner earns all other profits.

Tang En would definitely not do this kind of "losing money" business.

It's better to break the jar, give up the movie, and develop the TV series version of "The Hobbit" instead!

Borrow the channel of Starz platform to firmly grasp all the benefits!

The TV series is well developed, and the income is no worse than that of the movie!

The story can even be extended, not limited to the "Hobbit" series. There are still many unpublished manuscripts at the Tolkien Heritage Foundation. Tang En Pictures has signed some of them, and the other part has priority authorization.

Might as well start more and more comprehensive cooperation.
