Legendary Hollywood Producer

The prosperity of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. This article comes from the "Historical Biography" of Chapter 129 in the Western Han Dynasty masterpiece, which well expresses the pursuit of all living beings in the world. .

Although Ms. Lauren Weissberg has never heard of this sentence, she has understood it since she was a child.

Just like she can take advantage of the public’s voyeuristic desire to write a perfect subjective book that satisfies her boss after she quit. The "demon" in the article, successful career and family life. But it's a mess, this kind of contrast makes people feel comfortable.

Clearly knowing the tastes of American aunts and girls is the key to her success. After all, there are still most ordinary people in this world. How can books not be popular if they capture their curious thoughts.

Just as she portrayed the protagonist Andy as an ordinary person in the book, and after moving to the upper-class luxury life, she resigned and returned to the tone of ordinary life. She knew it would be stupid to write this way, but she still designed it like this. The purpose is not to grasp the inner recognition of those middle and low-level readers and tell everyone that the upper class is actually not so good. Even the protagonist chooses to return to ordinary life after passing through the upper class again. This does not mean that we The life like this is right and good.

This firm style is also the reason why this book is so popular. Those mainstream readers have been well encouraged to have a life attitude, and they have a sense of substitution. How can they say that this book is not good?

Although Lauren Weisberg felt that she was very brain-dead in order to cater to the audience, but everyone couldn't bear to accept this idea.

Is it possible that she went to tell the cruel reality, for example, she has never been in the upper class. Where did she get the qualification evaluation?

Of course, Lauren Weisberg would not say this kind of truth. On the contrary, she would desperately advocate the goodness of ordinary life and criticize the life of the upper class. Although a little bit of cursing oneself, who can make money, who cares so much.

The popularity of this book also brought Lauren another opportunity.

Six top Hollywood companies have come to her to discuss the right to adapt the book "The Devil Wearing Prada".

Of course, many other production companies have come to her, but those companies, to be honest, Lauren is a bit trustworthy.

Therefore, she also directly gave a high price threshold. Only by agreeing to this quotation can there be room for further negotiation. In fact, it is a disguised restriction that they can come in.

Lauren is just a writer, and he doesn’t know much about these Hollywood film production companies. In order not to be fooled, the wisest choice is to trust the top companies in this industry. Of course, the risk of cooperating with them is the smallest. Every circle likes to deceive. The layman, and the smaller the company, the more unscrupulous it is. Lauren has heard too many such things, and she is unwilling to trust small companies in her heart.

At present, the most sincere person and the one who wants to cooperate most is the 20th Century Fox. They have successively met with Lauren no less than 10 times, and the basic conditions are almost discussed.

With a one-time payment of $8 million, Twentieth Century Fox will get the right to adapt "The Devil Wearing Prada" for 10 years, and if the film is released, Lauren will own 5 percent of the North American box office profits.

The reason for the delay in completing the contract signing is that Lauren wants to have the advice and decision-making power of film actors. Well, that is, Ms. Lauren wants her favorite actors to star in movies.

Of course, 20th Century Fox would not agree with this ghost opinion. Who knows that when the film project is established, Lauren, the author, will make a moth. This kind of unstable factor, whether it is necessary or not, will definitely not have it.

In the past few days, Lauren has been arguing with Twentieth Century Fox, but gradually, Lauren also relaxed. Although she really wants the actors she likes to appear in her own works, it is nothing compared to the benefits of cooperating with Twentieth Century Fox.

The attitude towards the author of Lauren has gradually not changed as strongly as it was at the beginning. Of course, 20th Century Fox is happy to see it, and it has also stepped up the negotiations with Lauren.

That morning, Lauren had another meeting with someone from Twentieth Century Fox. The result was very gratifying, and both sides took a step back. Now Lauren only wants to get the right to suggest the role. The 20th Century Fox also deliberately promoted this condition, and everything is developing in a relatively smooth direction.

Not long after returning home, while Lauren was reading, the phone rang.

Lauren Weisberg, who was a little puzzled, answered the phone. The person on the phone claimed to be Paramount Pictures. He wanted to meet with her tomorrow, saying that he wanted to talk about cooperation.

Lauren agreed. Although she didn't understand why Paramount Pictures only thought of discussing cooperation with her again at this time, based on the principle of maximizing profit, a competitor wanted to join in, and Lauren did not. To refuse?

Lauren, who continued to read the book, thought about it. This may be a game between two top companies. It is like stealing your project when you are about to successfully negotiate. Lauren had already made up the deep hatred between the two parties with tens of thousands of words in his mind.

The next morning, people from Paramount Pictures showed up at the agreed place on time.

The two sides didn't spend much time to courteous things, and they got into the topic all at once.

"May I know the terms that 20th Century Fox has made with you, Miss Lauren?" the person from Paramount Pictures asked directly.

"Of course, there is nothing to say about it. They offered 800 dollars to buy the right to adapt my book, and promised that I would shoot the movie within 5 years. If I didn’t do it, they would pay me 400. Ten thousand U.S. dollars in liquidated damages, the copyright will continue to be held for 5 years. If the shooting is not completed after 5 years, the copyright will return to my hands."

"We at Paramount Pictures are willing to buy the copyright for $8.5 million, Miss Lauren, what do you mean?"

Lauren said inwardly, it really was what I guessed. Then he said calmly, "I have to go back and think about it."

"I know what you think, Miss Lauren. I came to you at this time. You should be able to think of something, but what?" The people from Paramount Pictures continued, "We can give you more benefits. And a better choice, but, you only have time to think about it today, and tomorrow, you won’t count this."
