Chapter 147: for friendship
Li Zhenyu did not think about copyright right from the beginning, but began to describe to him the world of ice and fire in his 'mind'.
The Seven Kingdoms, the North, the Land of Everwinter, the Great Wall...
the Night's Watch, the White Walkers, the Nameless One, the Mother of Dragons, the Unsullied...
conspiracy and war, magic and mystery...
when it comes to rise, Martin will take it into his hands. Giving him a pencil, Li Zhenyu started sketching in the blank spaces of the book in front of him.
The scrawled and messy lines were lifelike in Martin's eyes.
He seemed to see the world he created gradually taking shape in the hands of the other party, becoming vivid and real.
Regardless of whether he is a producer or director, at least his identity as a book fan must be true.
Moreover, he has a unique and in-depth understanding of the world in the book.
"Li, if you can get the support of the Eighth National Congress and agree to my conditions, it will be yours."
Martin was moved by his sincerity, but this did not make him lower his demands.
Must be one of the top eight and personally participate in the production.
The change that year left a deep trauma for Martin, and his book was changed beyond recognition.
The screenwriter simply ignored his opinion, and so did the studio.
This time he would say nothing to hand over all his power, and he would never let himself become Ed Stark in reality.
Even Eddard Stark should have learned something after dying once.
'Ding! '
The pleasant voice sounded, and Li Zhenyu also fell into silence.
In Martin's eyes, he was struggling with his thoughts.
Should he agree to his conditions or give up this opportunity?
Martin's heart also tightened. He had never been so eager to fulfill his wish.
The world described by the other party is something that even he himself yearns for.
If you cooperate with him, you will definitely be able to create the best world of ice and fire.
'Trigger new task: accept the challenge. '
'Obtained the support of one of the eight major film studios and successfully obtained the copyright to A Song of Ice and Fire. '
'Fixed reward: Martin's friendship. '
Can gaining Martin's friendship help him win the film and TV rights to Ice and Fire?
Li Zhenyu's guess is correct, so this friendship is worth billions of dollars.
"I agreed."
Li Zhenyu reached forward, looked directly into his eyes and said sincerely: "Martin, for friendship!"
"For friendship."
He made a gentleman's agreement with Martin and gave him an answer within three months.
Li Zhenyu returned to his seat and asked, "Who is that?"
Claire didn't know George Martin, or she didn't recognize him as the person in the photo.
"George Martin, a frequent visitor to the New York bestseller list and the author of A Song of Ice and Fire."
"Oh my God!"
Claire exclaimed after learning the identity of the other party.
If she had known this earlier, she would not have wasted her time waiting here.
George R. Martin, a best-selling author, was one of the best clients in the eyes of law firms.
However, it's not too late to go up and hand over your business card.
...
After finishing Twitter, Li Zhenyu was not in a hurry to return to New York, and the G300 landed in Los Angeles again.
Claire was left behind in San Francisco, and the team sent by Baker McKenzie to assist her in completing the handover was about to arrive.
However, these are not what Li Zhenyu is most concerned about at the moment.
Leslie Maya is his new crush.
By virtue of her status as the 'private secretary' of Berkshire Hathaway's shareholders, Leslie Maya successfully met the top executives of MGM.
After explaining the purpose of her visit to the other party, Maya got the answer: 'Please come back! '
An unknown figure relying only on an 'admission ticket' is like becoming the host of a banquet.
This is like a joke...
if she obeys the other party's instructions and leaves in frustration.
Maybe there was no story behind it, but she didn't do that. Instead, she told everything she had written in her mind.
In the end, I got a chance with my excellent coping skills.
"You said he would develop 007 and The Hobbit and bring the script to us for discussion."
If you want to get the attention of the other party, you must show enough value.
Empty talk and white teeth, you just develop it if you can.
Compared to an American who came from South Korea, MGM is obviously more willing to trust its own people.
As a result, Li Zhenyu turned into a tool man and has been busy writing a new script for "The Hobbit" for the past two days.
He had watched this film many times and was deeply impressed by the plot.
But if you want to turn the plot into a script, you have requirements for writing and creative skills.
Just like, not everyone can easily write a 100-point review.
Fortunately, he has the blessing of "creative talent" and there are so many ready-made videos for him to dismantle and learn from.
Once selected, the movies in the Korean entertainment library will form an inherent vivid memory in his mind.
The whole process seemed to be created by him personally from scratch.
The insights and experiences during the creation process are extremely real.
This is also the confidence that Li Zhenyu can show off his acting skills on the set and teach the actor to act.
He has many different perceptions, coupled with his 'creative talent' and his own accumulated experience.
Li Zhenyu locked himself in a hotel room for three days and finally came up with a script that satisfied him.
"Maya, help me make an appointment with Stephen Cooper and tell him that he has what he wants."
Li Zhenyu, who had not been out for many days, finally walked out of the room.
Taking the Mercedes-Benz provided by the hotel to Hollywood, Li Zhenyu met Maya in front of the MGM gate.
With her shiny blond hair and delicate baby face, she remains the iconic American lamb.
Harmless, well-behaved and cute, no man can resist her charm.
The temptation of blondes is a weakness that men in unlucky countries cannot resist.
It has been like this since Jane Harlow...
"Mr. Li, is this the script?"
After getting in the car and entering the set with him, Maya looked at the manuscript on his lap curiously.
"That's right."
Finding her eager face, Li Zhenyu said with a smile: "The meeting is over, you can enjoy it on the way back."
"Thank you, I'm already looking forward to it." Maya held her hands and tilted her head slightly with a very expressive expression. It's cute.
The car parked in front of the brown wooden door next to the studio. The door was open, and inside was an upward staircase. Stephen Cooper, the president of MGM, was on top.
With thick black brown hair and a thin face, he looked like a patient who was on an excessive diet.
There is a mustache on the chin, and it can be seen that the owner cares about it. The stubble is trimmed neatly, without a trace of slovenliness.
"Mr. Li, welcome to MGM."
"Thank you, Stephen. It is also an honor for me to be able to come to an art palace like MGM."
Everyone carried the sedan chair, and Li Zhenyu came up with a skillful greeting process. .
Say hello to each other first and express your goodwill to each other.
After another round of standardized business exchanges, everyone can start formal conversations in a pleasant atmosphere.
"This is the script you want."
Pushing the script in front of him, the confidence in his tone infected him.
"Li, I will submit the script to the department for cross-review. If it passes their review, we can start the next step."
"Actually, when I see you, I want to ask another question."
"What is it, but It doesn't matter."
"Even if your script is approved, where will MGM find the money to film it? "
There are still three nails in the broken ship, but MGM is full of holes, and the 'nails' left behind were all pulled out by MGM ." Went down to exchange money.
If it cannot get rid of debt as soon as possible, MGM will one day face the fate of bankruptcy and reorganization.
"I can lend it to the company."
MGM didn't have the money, but he did!
Li Zhenyu felt that he could still afford the funds needed to film "The Hobbit".
"You."
Stephen didn't expect that the problem that caused him headaches would be solved so easily by the other party.
It's great to have money...
The biggest problem has been solved, and Stephen said that he will be notified of any news as soon as possible.
