American Fortune Life

With a smile, Andy watched as Karl hung up the phone and took a sip of the coffee that Secretary Carl brought in.

"I don't understand. Why did you ask me to buy the film adaptation rights for Twilight? We can't make movies ... Wait, Andy, wouldn't you really want to start a film company?"

Carl grumbled constantly, a little stunned as he spoke, and asked incredulously.

"Oh, why not? Filming is very profitable. I did have this plan, but I didn't start my own company, but I saw the peak entertainment." Andy said with a leisurely smile.

Carl's eyes brightened, but thinking of the person who had just talked to him on the phone, his face smiled again.

"Andy, your idea is a bit whimsical. Although Peak Entertainment started by distributing Universal's films and some UMD movies that are directly released to the DVD market, since the company's three partners are preparing to transform and make movies, they put Robert Freman, the former executive chairman of Paramount, was hired as CEO. Robert is not a simple figure. If you want to buy the peak, the price will not be too small. "

Andy shrugged indifferently and said with a smile: "I don't intend to spend money to buy Summit. I just want to hold the company. As for its CEO, who cares before he becomes a shareholder of Summit Entertainment. But can I The smooth entry into the summit board depends on whether you can successfully win the copyright of Twilight. The more insiders, the more you should understand how important a good IP series is. "

Carl looked at Andy bitterly, and said a little bitterly: "But is it too exaggerated to spend 67 million to buy a novel's film and television rights? In this way, the money on our company account is almost exhausted It's just that it can maintain normal daily expenses. "

Andy gave Carl a nasty look. "Don't talk nonsense, this matter must be done as soon as possible. Didn't you tell me in the morning that I have contacted Stephanie Mayr? How about, would she talk to us?"

"Oh, what can you do? This woman is now waiting to be sold. She is naturally welcome to join the auction, but she also understands that the current 5 million is already very high. After I quoted 6 million, she said she would consider it carefully. It was really impossible, so I went to Arizona to meet her. "Carl smiled bitterly, knowing that Andy's decision could not be changed, and he could only do his best to get things done.

"Well, let's go there. In this way, after signing the contract with Warner, you can leave. This matter cannot be delayed. I'm afraid the summit will be desperate. They are a group of gamblers." It is best to get it in your hand as soon as possible.

"I ... well, you are the boss, you have the final say. By the way, did you look at the bulletin board, you are in the top ten, and sold 360,000 copies last week. The director of Universal Music also called to congratulate you, He said to call you, your phone was always busy. "Carl put away his entangled emotions and talked about happy things.

"Oh, I saw it, it was quite unexpected. I didn't expect a country music to be so popular. I have been calling with Ivana in the morning, and I will call him back later, always thank you." Speaking of singles CD sales, Andy is still very happy. Especially as a cross-border singer, it was already a very amazing thing to be able to rank in the top ten of the bulletin board.

Between Andy and Karl, the people of Warner Movies also arrived. After meeting in the conference room, everyone introduced each other. After a few words of embarrassment, they took their seats and began to sign the contract.

The terms of the two sides have been negotiated for a long time, so there are no setbacks. After the lawyers of the two sides checked the contract, Andy and Richard signed the contract on behalf of their respective companies.

After exchanging the contract and signing the words, Andy and Richard shake hands to celebrate the success of the cooperation between the two parties. As for the 100,000-dollar royalty, Andy dumped it to Carl. After all, his blood drawing behavior of the copyright company was indeed a bit brutal. .

After seeing Warner and his party away, Andy watched in the office to pack things, and was about to leave for Carl, Arizona, and once again commanded: "This time, you must buy the copyright of the novel, which is really important. . "

"Oh my gosh, you've talked about a dozen times. I know I must bring it back. Negotiating things like this can't be too urgent. For everyone who likes beautiful knives, Stephanie is not a fool. She now wants to see the three companies raise each other's prices. I know how to do it, you can rest assured. By the way, will you return to New York next? " Said.

"Well, not in a hurry. I ’m going to San Francisco first. The game company ’s new game is going to go public. How can I go to the town myself? After all, that ’s my ambition. After finishing the game company ’s affairs, I ’ll fly straight. New York, it will not be back until the election is over in November. "Andy said his schedule.

"That ’s OK, I wish you a big game sale, the plane at 3:30, I will not talk to you, it will be too late if we do n’t leave, let's call on the phone, rest assured, I will definitely" Twilight " Buy it. After all, Stephanie's price is difficult for us to refuse. The key thing now is that we are just a copyright company, not a movie company. She is still hesitant about this matter. I will convince her. , Raised the briefcase and said to Andy.

"Well, thank you. I'm on my way, I'll wait for your call." Andy sent Karl out of the company building, and the car carrying Carl and his team of four quickly out of Andy's sight.

Andy looked at the time and said to Joseph: "Let's go, go back and pack up, and we're leaving for San Francisco."

Joseph nodded, took out his cell phone and called Kenny in the villa, asking him to prepare in advance.

Since this time flying directly from San Francisco to New York, Andy needs to pack a lot, of course, because this time he will need to live in New York for two months, the cat Laura and two Dubins will be taken at this time. When cultivating feelings, if you are separated for two months, you will inevitably have a sense of alienation. It is wise to take it back to New York. It will not cost a few dollars, but it will only take three small things to make a bump.

Back at home, Andy just packed a few clothes casually, checked for any omissions in the study, took out from the safe a few documents that recorded some things when they just passed through, found the lighter to ignite, and threw Into a stainless steel basin, watching the documents that should not exist quickly turned to ashes, walked to the bathroom and washed away with water.

The last worry also disappeared with the flow of water. All things have been engraved in his mind, and those major event records have no value to continue to exist, especially when he needs to leave for two months to prevent all accidents. Even if the security level of his home is now very high, the alarm device is directly connected to the Los Angeles Police Department, but this matter is too much a threat to Andy, and destruction is the best way.

Holding a LV travel bag, bid farewell to Liu Yan in the living room, "Aunt Liu, you are willing to live here. If you want to go back to your daughter's house, I can come back in November."

"Let me live here. I can go back and watch them at any time with my daughter. No one in the family is always wrong. You can rest assured." Liu Yan said with a smile, and said goodbye to Andy.

Andy picked up the travelling bag, carried a little ignorant Laura into his arms, and whistled. Quicksilver and the witch yelled twice, rushing out of that corner, and ran to Andy , Squat down and looked up at Andy.

"Go, take you to San Francisco." After speaking, they went outside, and the two Dubins followed Andy and followed.

Andy watched Quickyin and the witch jump into the car, and crouched crouching in the trunk. They couldn't help but chuckled twice. These two little things were well-behaved. They sat in the car and set the travel bag aside. Ney said, "Let's go."

When he arrived at the airport, Andy put the three little guys into the pet air box that he had already bought. Little Laura was a little nervous and kept meowing. Andy had to calm it again and again. There was no way to drive. San Francisco takes 6 hours, and it's already midnight.

The check-in of pets is not very troublesome, because Andy's pets are all well-documented, the only thing is that the three small things are a little disturbed and irritable, the quick silver and the witch arrive better, after all, after a period of training, little Laura is a bit Give Andy a headache, because Laura is a small animal that cannot be injected with sedatives, so he can only soothe as much as possible.

Because Andy's three pets are all in the growth stage, they can be regarded as small animals in terms of body shape and can be checked as luggage. This eliminates the need for Andy to go to the airport for check-in procedures two to three hours in advance. Andy got on the plane together, and he could take them out as soon as he got to San Francisco.
