Heads Up Hollywood

Tang En approved of Monroe's project. It is not possible now, but when there is an opportunity in the future, we can plan to shoot.

Manola Daggis is very excited. She feels that she has met a like-minded boss. "There is also a novel called "The Girl Who Moved Soul", the author is Suzanne Kaysen, it is her autobiography, and it is very valuable for adaptation."

Andrew O'Hare nodded and said: "This is a female theme. If there are female stars with strong appeal, it should be profitable at the box office."

The two analysts reached an agreement for the first time, and Tang En suddenly smiled, "That's good, we want the copyright of this novel!"

Manola Daggis was very happy, "Next are the works of two famous authors, Anne Rupp and Stephen King."

Tang En was shocked, he had never heard of any of them!

"Anne Rupp's novel "True Express", which won the National Book Award in 1993 and the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1994, is of great adaptation value..."

Before he could finish speaking, Tang En frowned and interrupted: "Such a famous novel, the copyright has already been bought away?"

Manola Daggis smiled, "That's true, Columbia Pictures bought the film copyright two years ago, but I'm talking about her other work, a short story published in this year's "New York Times" , it is said that the volume will be published next year."

"oh?"

Tang En was a little surprised. It was published in the "New York Times". It must be an unusual novel. Who is this Anne Rupp? seems very amazing.

"The name of the novel is Brokeback Mountain."

"puff!"

Tang En, who was drinking coffee, spit it out in one gulp!

"boss!"

Andrew and Manola shouted in unison, "Boss, are you alright?"

Tang En took the tissue and wiped his pants. He was a little embarrassed and amused, "It's okay, I accidentally choked on it. Well... I think Anne Rupp is such a famous writer, her works must be good. It will be bad, so we must get the copyright of "Brokeback Mountain"!"

Manola Daggis said with a smile: "I feel relieved with your words, boss. Then there is the work of Stephen King. He wrote a book called "Miracle on the Green Mile" last year, which is very flavorful. .”

Andrew O'Hare curled his lips and said: "Stephen's work? Since the "Shawshank Redemption" made a joke, I don't like him anymore."

Tang En said with a half-smile, "Andrew, you can't rely on intuition for market analysis."

Andrew O'Hare smiled awkwardly.

Manola Daggis glanced at Andrew O'Hare triumphantly, and suddenly thought of something, "By the way, Stephen King has another fantasy work, which is very classic, called "The Dark Tower"! I think it will be filmed, definitely It can sell well at the box office!"

Tang En naturally didn't believe it. She is an art researcher, but she also knows how to analyze the market?

Andrew O'Hare's face became serious, "The novel "The Dark Tower" has been serialized for a total of 4 volumes, and I have read them all. They are very exciting. But...it may not be possible to make a movie."

"Why?" Manola's eyes widened.

Andrew said slowly: "There is a big problem with the style of this novel. Commercial blockbusters must conform to mainstream values. However, the cult style of "The Dark Tower" has a small audience, and the use of various anti-logic makes it a successful film. Movies are estimated to be incomprehensible to most people. Commercial movies... brainless entertainment is the best."

Tang En blinked and thought of something, "Can it be made into a TV series?"

The scale of the American drama is so large that it has caught the attention of the whole world, and a mere cult style will make it even more popular.

"Should...it should be fine." Andrew didn't react for a while, "Boss, you want to make a TV series? Aren't we a film company?"

Tang En said with a smile: "Take down the copyright first. The company always needs to develop."

Manola Daggis said meaningfully: "Boss, Stephen King is the most famous writer of popular novels in the United States, and his copyright fee is not low."

"Well……"

Tang En was momentarily at a loss for words.

After investing in stocks and movies, Tang En only had 5 million US dollars in spare cash on hand, and he had to maintain the normal operation of the company. The copyright of several million novels was really unaffordable.

"Up to 4 million US dollars, this is the maximum amount I can pay now." Tang En thought for a while, and then said a number, "As for which copyright to buy first and which copyright to postpone the purchase later, you can figure it out, Ma Nora, you and George will do this together."

"$4 million?" Manola Daggis was very happy. With such a large check, all works except Stephen King's novels could be obtained.

"Is there any more?" Tang En asked. Although Manola almost "broke his fortune", so many familiar titles still made him quite excited.

Sure enough, he is a master with a "literary aesthetic" of 98, this vision is accurate!

Although not all of these films won Oscars, they are all classic films recorded in film history.

Twain suddenly realized that he was about to prosper. With Manola Daggis and the soon-to-be established Art Analysis Department, I am afraid that half of the Oscars in the future will belong to Twain Films.

I just don't know what kind of surprises and benefits Andrew O'Hare and the future market analysis department will bring to him.

"There is the last book. This is written by my good friend. I have already negotiated with the publishing house. It will be published in April next year." Manola Daggis looked a little nervous, for fear that Tang En would misunderstand that she was writing Do favors for friends.

Tang En smiled and said, "It's okay, Manola, just tell me."

"Her name is Sylvia Nasar. She was a classmate of mine who was studying avant-garde literature. She was entrusted by Mr. John Nash to write a biography for him."

Manola's words made Tang En's mind suddenly pop up a name, and he felt a little short of breath, "John Nash? You mean the 'game theory' economist?"

Manola Daggis's eyes lit up, "Boss, do you know him? Yes, he is very famous. He won the Nobel Prize three years ago, and Sylvia Nasar also started preparing to write it at that time." his biography."

Tang En took a deep breath, "What's the title of the book?"

""beautiful Mind"."

"really!"

Tang En secretly clenched his fist.

Andrew O'Hare saw that Manola Daggis was highly valued by the boss, and felt unwilling, he suddenly said, "Boss, since this is the case, I also have two novels to recommend!"

"Oh? Yes!"

Tang En's heart seemed to be blooming with joy.

Talents, all talents!

"The Chronicles of Narnia, written by the British writer Lewis, is known as the greatest fantasy work after The Lord of the Rings." Andrew O'Hare did not make any preparations before, because he was too familiar, so he opened his mouth.

Tang En raised his eyebrows. When he bought the copyright of "Harry Potter", he had heard of this masterpiece, "It's just... such a famous work, is the copyright still there?"

Andrew O'Hare hesitated and said: "This work is far more fantastical than "The Lord of the Rings", so it is difficult to shoot. The special effects technology is in great demand, and no film company should dare to touch it. However, with the rapid development of special effects technology, I think within ten years, this novel will definitely have a chance to be put on the big screen."

Tang En frowned slightly.

He had seen the movie adapted from this novel in his previous life, the first one was okay, but the last two... lost everything!

Is it necessary to buy the copyright?

Seeing the hopeful look on Andrew O'Hare's face, Tang En didn't want to overwhelm his self-motivation, so he said with a smile: "Okay, then you can deal with it, what about the other work?"

Because of his previous life experience, Tang En had already made up his mind that even if he bought the film copyright of "The Chronicles of Narnia", he would only make one movie and never make a sequel!

"The other work is not well-known. It was just published last year and has never been on the bestseller list. I only noticed it because I like fantasy novels."

"what book?"

""A Song of Ice and Fire"."

"puff!"

Tang En gushed out another mouthful of coffee.

Damn!

Baiyuncanggou, I have the world!
