reborn in america

"Thank you, it's also my honor to meet you." Adam hurriedly replied, even though he was famous for a while thanks to the big sales of his novels in the past few years, his foundation was shallow and he didn't dare to be proud: "You have a lot of singers and bands I like them all, and being able to meet you today is really something I didn't expect."

"I have heard about you from Steven a long time ago, and I admire your talent very much. In addition, the script of "Jurassic Park" is also very well written. I heard that it was the first script you wrote. , It’s really amazing.” The two greeted and complimented each other, and then sat down facing each other, because both of them are busy people, so after a few compliments, they directly entered the topic: “I don’t know if this time is for What? If I remember correctly, there is no overlap between our businesses."

Adam took out the prepared report from the bag he was carrying, handed it to David, and said: "Recently, I bought and integrated a public platform, and this time I am looking for Mr. Geffen to cooperate with you Make a program, you can take a look at the specific regulations, if you think it is suitable, we will continue to talk, if it is not suitable, then treat it as if I came here today to visit the seniors, what do you think?"

David Geffen glanced at Adam with great interest. He didn't expect Adam to be very ambitious. He became famous through novels for only two or three years. He not only dabbled in newspapers and movies, but now even aimed at TV stations. I have to say that this alone Courage is enough to be admired.

Thinking of the many years of planning with Steven and others before he finally made up his mind to set up a company, he felt some admiration and sympathy in his heart: "Just call me David, since you are Steven's friend and you are all in the circle. People, even if we fail to reach a cooperation this time, we will eventually have opportunities to cooperate in the future, so don’t be cautious.”

As he spoke, he took the materials in Adam's hands, and looked down seriously. He just read the first page, and his whole body instantly cheered up. I have to say that Adam's plan is novel and innovative. attention.

As the most developed country in the entertainment industry in the world, the United States pays far more attention to sports and entertainment than other countries. Some so-called experts even publish such sensational reports that entertainment is dead. If this plan can be implemented, then It is conceivable that the entire United States will be shaken by it.

Especially for the 16 to 30 years old that this plan specifically targets, this age range is the age with the most fantasies and hopes, and is also the most enthusiastic about pursuing the so-called dreams. When the program named "American Idol" started After the start, countless young people will fly over like moths recklessly, and this will inevitably bring a lot of attention. into everyone's sight.

I have to say that Adam's idea is very direct, but it is indeed extremely useful. Although after this wave of craze, whether you can continue to watch follow-up programs, but as long as this program reaches the popularity Adam envisioned, this TV station has achieved it. Well-known purpose, and this is hard to hope for most TV stations.

The most important thing is that the variety show "American Idol" is destined not to be a one-off deal, but can be continued season after season. As long as ordinary young people in the United States still have the dream of becoming famous overnight, as long as there is no similar type of show in the same period If it is blocked by other programs, then this program can continue continuously, and they get this program is like getting a hen that can lay golden eggs, and this hen has to lay eggs every year. It can be said that this is simply Send them money directly.

As for why he was sought out, it was naturally because he had a large number of celebrities and people in the entertainment industry who could serve as mentors, and he also had the ability to produce variety shows, and he had enough prestige in the circle to convince the students that When they win the championship, they can really become stars instead of being fooled.

Of course, although he has so many advantages, it doesn't mean that this cooperation must be done by him. After all, there are many people in Hollywood who can take over this task, but the number is definitely more than one hand. It's just that Adam has just entered In Hollywood, I haven't accumulated enough contacts. Instead of looking for those who are also unfamiliar, I might as well look for him.

Firstly, he is big enough to meet all of Adam’s needs; secondly, his status ensures that he will not do some immoral things that damage Adam’s interests; thirdly, he has Steven and the same sexuality. There is a possibility of pleasant cooperation.

Thinking of this, David looked up at Adam who was distracted, and said with a smile: "Very good plan, I wonder how Mr. Baker wants to cooperate?"

"The copyright of the program "American Idol" belongs to the company that manages all my copyrights in my hands—Dream Sail Company. Dream Sail uses the copyright as a share to cooperate with you to develop this program, and jointly form the "American Idol" development company to be responsible for the development. The program "American Idol". That is to say, the production of the entire program is entirely in charge of the newly established "American Idol" development company, and then it is sold to my PD TV station through negotiations. Although the copyright and the TV station are mine, but Such a division will not easily cause capital disputes in the future, what do you think?" Adam had already had an idea, so he expressed his idea.

"I don't have much opinion on your proposal, but I still hope to talk about it in detail about the specific implementation." David nodded, looked at Adam with some surprise, and had to say that Adam's handling method was extremely Sophisticated, especially to separate and separate the copyright, so that no matter what the program is, the relationship between him and the TV station will not cause disputes because both parties belong to Adam's subordinates, and business can be discussed. This is for the extra collaborator David For, extremely important.

"Of course there is no problem." Adam nodded with a smile, then took out Tonares' business card from his bag, and said to David Geffen: "However, I have handed over the specific matters to my private working team. I don’t know David, if you have any other ideas, you can tell me in advance.”

"Ah, very good, you are right, and this matter is indeed not something that can be finished in a short while." David Geffen nodded to express his understanding. After all, there are many things involved, and some of them are wrangling. It is not suitable for the two of them to talk on the spot.

After talking about the business, the two chatted about gossip, such as some Hollywood anecdotes, to adjust the atmosphere. As for the subsequent cooperation, it is natural to make another appointment. After all, if you decide to cooperate, you must do your research before the negotiation Working, and then forming a negotiating team, all of these will take a lot of work, and it will be next month until the negotiations start.

It's just that the two of them didn't chat for a long time, after all, they had a lot of things on hand, and after chatting for a while, they made an appointment to meet again next time: "By the way, I forgot to say, I'm also using Eden 2.0, next time you You can bring your boyfriend to my manor as a guest, as the most eye-catching couple in Hollywood, I have been looking forward to it for a long time."

"Oh, really? Thank you for your support for our company's products. As for Carl? Ha, if he knew it was your invitation, he would definitely agree to it immediately, as long as you can hold the signed tape of the Eagles." Adam naturally did not reject his kindness. Although he did not fully disclose his sexual orientation to the outside world, he never concealed it. With his reputation, it can be said that his relationship with Karl is known to everyone in the circle.

"Oh? Does Mr. Anderson like the Eagles? No problem, I can just send him a copy of the first edition of "Hotel California" in front of the band tape in 1976." For David, the godfather, this is not a problem at all, straight to the point Then he should come down.

"Ha, then thank him first, he has been looking forward to it for a long time." Adam accepted this favor without being pretentious. The position is nothing more than a plaything, and the subordinates agree that the relationship between the two will go further, which will be more beneficial to the follow-up cooperation.

……

Back in the office, Adam summoned Tonares and handed over the matter to them. At the same time, he gave the red line for the final negotiation. How much can be won outside the red line depends on the ability of Tonares.

Since the cooperation between the two parties two or three years ago, due to the rapid development of Adam and the rapid development of the Anderson & Tonares law firm, it has almost become Adam's private lawyer team now, and with the old Anderson in the , Adam is not afraid that the other party will be bought by others, and the cooperation between the two parties can be described as extremely pleasant.

After reading it, Tonares quickly formed a team to prepare for the challenge from David Geffen, and this kind of bias and copyright cases have always been Tonares' strong point, so naturally he still leads the team .

And with him taking full responsibility, Adam felt relieved, after all, he couldn't do everything by himself, and he still had a lot to do.

For example, he had a meeting with the editor-in-chief of the "California Times" William Skell on the same day. I have to say that William Skell has done a good job over the past year. The status of a major newspaper has gradually widened the distance. At the same time, Adam’s most promising serial layout is also arranged very well. Many popular novels have been released, allowing Adam to accumulate several valuable copyrights for future use. Requirements for future adaptations.

But this time Adam talked to him about another matter. It can be said that this matter is related to the overall layout behind Adam, so it is necessary to discuss it with William Smith, who has been engaged in this profession for many years.
