"Adam, I didn't expect you to finally have Marvel in your hands." Shay sat there with his feet raised, eyebrows raised, and said with a smile.

"It can be regarded as fulfilling the long-cherished wish." Adam nodded and said.

This time, Xie Yilai mainly talked with Adam about "Jurassic Park 2". After all, although Adam did not object to the shooting of the new one, there are still many things that need to be discussed.

"Adam, do you really not consider preparing the script for this movie yourself? If you polished the script yourself, I think we will all have more confidence." Shay said with a sigh. Luo Ji Park 2 ", he has already made it clear that this time he will not personally participate in the writing of the script, but hand it over to the Hollywood screenwriter team.

Adam smiled and refused: "You know, I have so many facts that I can't draw them out, and "The Witcher 3" should be released this year, not to mention "Jurassic Park 2" is the first one. The plot rhythm of the first part is good, there is no need to make too many changes, the big change of the plot is still under consideration in the next part, this part is mainly to spread the IP of "Jurassic Park" through the east wind of the previous part value."

"I know, it's just that if you don't come to do it yourself, I really don't feel safe." Xie said helplessly. Although he understands all these, businessmen always hope to maximize the value. After all, with the current Adam 100% As far as the success rate is concerned, it is natural to hope that Adam can intervene to ensure the success rate of the movie.

Adam looked at him helplessly and said, "There are so many capable people in Hollywood, you have to learn to trust them."

"By the way, speaking of this, I hope you can help me contact Warner Pictures. I want to take out Spider-Man and try to shoot it to see if Marvel has developed in the direction of movies. Didn't they just shoot Is there a Batman coming out this year? I want to get in touch with their production and learn from it.” Adam continued.

After the success of Tim Burton's Batman Returns, another Batman series is coming this year, directed by Joe Schumacher, Val Kilmer, Tommy Lee Jones, Jim Carrey , Nicole Kidman and Chris O'Donnell can be said to be an all-star lineup. The name of the movie is "Batman Forever". The filming has been completed and post-production work is currently underway. It is said that the quality is very good.

"Ha, that's not a problem. I'll help you get in touch. However, there has been no progress in the Marvel movies. I don't think there is any need to be in such a hurry. We can talk about it in a few years." Naturally, Shay would not refuse Adam's small question, After all, "Jurassic Park 2" is the big event for both parties now.

Not to mention Marvel?Movie?It seems that it has not been very successful. Basically, the usual shooting has entered the disc market, which can be called a disaster. Naturally, Warner will not worry about the big development of Marvel. After all, no matter how powerful it is, it can compare with their DC. Two heroes Superman and Batman?These are all superhero movies that have been recognized by the market.

"Isn't this being prepared? It's probably not possible this year. I think it should be the plan for next year or the next year. It's just that I'm making preparations in advance. I don't want to continue making movies and throw them in the disc market." Adam said to He explained that Marvel's film and television is really miserable, and it can't be compared with DC, let alone compared with Marvel after the 21st century in history, it's just too cruel.

"Well, okay, anyway, I will contact you when the time comes, but it's up to you to do what you want." Shay shrugged, saying that it doesn't matter, after all, he only cares about the smooth shooting of "Jurassic Park 2" Alright, let's talk about the rest after "Jurassic Park 2" is over.

"By the way, when are you going to release "The Witcher 3"? If you're sure it's finished, remember to send me a copy. I'm also a fan of your book." After Xie finished speaking, he suddenly remembered what Adam said about his new book. thing, I added another sentence.

"Of course, I will never forget it, but this book is still being conceived, and we will have to wait until it is finished when it will be released." Adam naturally agreed to his request, after all, it was nothing The big thing is that he is still thinking about how the plot of "The Witcher 3" will develop. Although he hopes to release it in the fall as before, it can really be finalized in June, but the things he has at hand are really serious. There are too many, and there is not much time for him to relax and write novels with peace of mind, so he can't guarantee the specific time to finish the novel.

The two chatted about other shooting matters of "Jurassic 2" and some industry news. Adam also asked about some news about Chinese-language movies. Since Bruce Lee's death, Chinese-language kung fu movies have not been popular in Hollywood. It turns out that the Chinese don't have any movie stars to mention in Hollywood. Recently, someone has mentioned Jackie Chan. After all, Jackie Chan's movies in Southeast Asia even dare not compete with him in Hollywood, so there is some interest.

Adam wanted to introduce Jackie Chan to Hollywood in advance, but unfortunately, with his current power in the movie industry, he is still far behind. Maybe he will have to wait until he can continue to be able to speak in the Hollywood movie circle, and then introduce Chinese Movies, maybe a lot better.

Farewell to Shay, Adam and David Geffen met again to discuss the new season of "American Idol". The copyright of American Idol belongs to Adam, but the production is produced by David Geffen. They signed a contract for three years , the production cost of [-] million US dollars per season, it can be said that this price is not cheap, nor expensive, but since the "American Idol" show exploded, it has been a bit of a disadvantage for David Geffen, you know In the first season of the advertising fee alone, Adam's PD TV station raked in a billion dollars, plus the income from peripheral programs and other copyrighted discs, it was like a money printing machine.

It’s just that David Geffen is not easy to make a request. After all, the copyright is not in his hands. Adam can completely bypass him and find someone else to produce the program, and at most pay him part of the money as a breach of contract fee, but Adam is naturally impossible to do that. Do not talk about David Geffen's status in Hollywood and the music industry, just abandoning his original partners after such success is enough to make countless people attack his character and credibility.

So Adam asked David Geffen out at the beginning of preparations for the new season to discuss the new season. Almost all the popular American Idol contestants have joined his company. Relying on these popular idols, he has earned a lot of dollars. In addition, he is planning to release a record with the new season of "American Idol" this year. Make a fortune.

So in an extremely peaceful atmosphere, the two quickly negotiated the production cost of the new season. In addition to the original [-] million US dollars, [-]% of the advertising fee will be handed over to David Geffen as the production cost. .

However, the other party to the signing this time is no longer David Geffen's music company, but the new company DreamWorks he opened with Spielbold and Jeffrey. Yes, this company that shocked Hollywood last year Officially established in autumn, it was jointly opened by film giant Spielbold, music giant David and animation giant Jeffrey, and launched an impact on the seven giants of Hollywood.

Adam showed his friendship this time, not only for the success of the new season of "Idol", but also to establish a relationship with them. Although this company can only last ten years, the relationship network of the Big Three is still strong even if the company goes bankrupt. It is extremely important for Adam, who is eager to get in, to firmly cover the entire Hollywood.

But that's all, Adam can't really cut his flesh out, be taken advantage of, if David still wants the lion to open his mouth, then Adam will not beg to continue to cooperate with him, after all, wait until the three-year contract expires , There are absolutely countless production companies that want to cooperate with Adam.

In addition, the great success of "American Idol" also made Adam prepare to continue to develop other reality shows. For example, the inspiration depends on the rematch stage of "American Idol" and a famous Dutch reality show "Big Brother" in the future.

The program "Big Brother" is a social experiment reality game show. A group of strangers live in a room full of cameras and microphones as "roommates". They watch every move 7 hours a day, 24 days a week All will be recorded, edited and broadcast on TV.Players will be nominated, contested, voted and eliminated during the competition time.The last person who will stay will win the prize.

His success, or focus, is mainly in several areas (1) back to basics living environment; (2) elimination; (3) weekly tasks and competitions set by Big Brother; (4) roommates to express their ideas , emotions, and frustrations, revealing their "Diary Room or Fession Room" for the elimination nominations.

The core is tearing, heavy taste, and uncertainty. These three points firmly control the audience's attention, making people unable to move their eyes away. They want to know the ending of each episode and everyone, and finally Caused the ratings to climb steadily.

But compared to "Beauty Idol", this time Adam is not going to throw his fat out.He handed over this program to PD TV station, and PD TV station finds someone to produce it. It can be regarded as a reality show under PD TV station. Because of the great success of "Beauty Idol", PD TV station definitely pays attention to this program. The degree is full, and even its specifications and priorities are higher than the already successful "American Idol".

After all, although American Idol can be regarded as Adam's program, after all, for PD TV station, it is regarded as a purchased program, separated by a layer, so it has to accept the situation of being cut off, but "Big Brother" is not, except for the production cost , all the advertising revenue and even the future copyright belong to the TV station, so the priority is naturally high.

The author has something to say: the beginning of each volume feels very unsatisfactory.
