    Could it be that he had already slept on the plane? After getting off the plane and settling down, he immediately went to the company for a visit. The first step starting from the end of the year was to quickly acquire the rights to adapt some novels. He had to take a look.  How is the work going?  " Among all the previously decided catalogs, we have purchased unlimited adaptation rights for forty-one novels. Mr. Mo, you have highlighted "Prince of Tides", "The Great Gatsby", "  Twenty-nine copies of "The Last Movie Tycoon", "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" and "Legends of the Fall" have been purchased, and others are under negotiation. However, there is something wrong with Jim Harrison's "Legends of the Fall".  I'm willing to sell unlimited adaptation rights, but after two talks, I couldn't continue." Li Lu, the head of the American company, sat across from Mo Fei and took out his notepad to report to Mo Fei one by one.  "Legend of the Autumn" is a novel that I am more concerned about. Not to mention it has received multiple Oscar nominations, it is still a good film that praises the protagonist. It is indeed a pity to give up.  After thinking for a while, he said: "Well, you go to talk to him again and say that we will only buy the adaptation rights of the first version of the movie, but within fifteen years he is not allowed to sell it to anyone else, including the adaptation rights of TV series.  Sell ??it, as long as the price is not too excessive, you can spend more, but if there is a penalty, you have to set it higher. There are two options for him to choose, 50 million US dollars or half of the movie box office. Some literati are still very thief.  He's very untrustworthy, and he might do some tricks. We have to bury the cover for him first." The two chatted for a while, and Li Lu suddenly thought of another thing he hadn't mentioned yet: "Mr. Mo, you want it.  I already have an idea of ??the house I'm looking for. There are two villas for sale in Beverly Hills. It is said that the owner owed the bank loan and couldn't replace it, and then the bank took it away and put it up for auction. The prices of these houses are relatively high.  It's reasonable. See if you can get it. I've also seen more than a dozen apartments. The ones in Beverly Hills are a little more expensive, while the ones in downtown Los Angeles are relatively cheaper. However, the houses in these cities are not much cheaper.  Unless there is a big economic ups and downs, it is generally not cheap. However, there are two entire apartments used as photography bases. One is a 19-story large apartment with more than 50 units, located close to each other.  In the suburbs, it only costs about 4 million US dollars; the other one is in the urban area, with 22-story apartments of all sizes, and a total of more than 140 units. There is also a park next to it. Because the whole building was liquidated by the bank, the price is only 800.  Wan: I think we can buy this entire apartment and tidy it up so that the actors can live in it. Anyway, we don¡¯t need so much for interior scenes in the film. We can just separate the men and women. It¡¯s easier for us to manage.  It¡¯s also easier to deal with the media. ¡°Haha, Lao Li, you really save money.¡± Li Lu was probably also amused when he thought about the apartments in Beverly Hills that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.  These multi-million-dollar apartments are a huge bargain, so why are they willing to buy high-priced apartments for the actors to live in?  This old thinking must be changed.  "Lao Li, we don't do this in Hong Kong, and we can't do this in the United States. This is the company's image problem. Originally, we were going to create something that Americans don't have, and provide apartments to signed artists, but in the end  But being so stingy might backfire. Artists are all adults. Everyone has their own life and their own privacy. With so many acquaintances not seeing each other every day, this will also cause trouble.  . Let¡¯s talk about economic issues, Lao Li, think about it, if we buy these two apartment buildings, part of them will be used as interior scenery bases, and the other part will be rented out to ordinary citizens, where we can often see celebrities.  Opportunity, I think many movie fans will rush to rent it. If we occasionally open the interior studio to tenants, even if the rent is higher, it will be very popular, and the money will be earned quickly.  One point, if the apartment is rented out and these measures and conditions are in place, more young actors who have just debuted will choose to live here. This will also bring great convenience to us in selecting actors in the future. We will save money here.  And the time is definitely enough to buy another apartment. " Li Lu patted his thigh and praised: "Mr. Mo, your idea is really good. It kills two birds with one stone. When you say that, I also thought of something.  If we can have a few reporters living here, we can leave some loopholes in the future when we shoot new films, and they will naturally leak the news, which will also help us a lot in terms of publicity. " "I see this.  The method works. Lao Li, just go ahead and do it. I¡¯ll have someone transfer the money to the account in two days. You can just handle it yourself. The reporter must be careful about this, and don¡¯t stress too much.  Security measures, just don't let crazy movie fans in. "This is also a carefree master who can draw inferences at any time, so he is absolutely at ease with Li Lu.  In the past two years, Columbia has made a lot of money from releasing Phoenix Culture films.I also attach great importance to this movie.  1,200 screens were used, and a lot of effort and money was put into promoting it. Even Bruce Willis's reputation has been improved a bit through this promotion.  A lot of preparations have been made for the premiere of "Lethal Weapon". Not only do they have to have a grand premiere to promote the movie, but they also have to do a good advertisement for the upcoming "Mr. and Mrs. Smith". Of course, that movie  The upcoming series "Baywatch" cannot miss the opportunity.  The effect of the powerful publicity power is that the outside of the premiere theater is crowded with media and fans, and the fans and reporters present today will definitely feel extremely satisfied. The amount of information should not be too large.  There is nothing to say about Colombia¡¯s reputation. More than 30 local stars including Dustin Hoffman, Sigourney Weaver, Morgan Freeman, etc. came, causing bursts of cheers from the audience outside the stadium.  .  When the crew of "Lethal Weapon" appeared under the leadership of director Kathryn Bigelow, it even attracted a lot of praise. The power of national hero Bruce cannot be overshadowed. The entire crew is now counting him as the biggest star, and he has become popular.  .  Next up were Hong Gu and Pierce Brosnan. This combination is quite strange.  What does this mean? Isn't Hong the rumored girlfriend?  Why did he show up with another person today? Is it because of a change in love or for other reasons? People's interest was immediately aroused.  "Oh, that's not the case. Pierce and I can only be friends. We are going to collaborate on a movie next. We happened to meet each other today, so we made an appointment to talk about the movie." This arrangement is indeed very good.  efficient.  The reporters immediately took the bait. In fact, even if reporters saw the problem, they would definitely ask this question. This kind of procedure is a dead question with no solution.  "What kind of movie is it? Can you tell me a little bit about it? You know there are many fans of your movie in the United States, and everyone will want to know." Of course, the reporter will not be satisfied with just one answer.  Otherwise, how can we be called journalists?  Honggu pretended to be worried, turned her head and looked at the end of the red carpet not far away, and found that no one was there, so she turned back to answer the reporter's question: "It is a comedy action film with an Eastern Kung Fu style.  , about how a couple who hides their identity from each other goes from initial distrust to eventual coexistence. That¡¯s all I can say. You know the producer is also here today, and he will be here soon.¡±  Honggu's expression made everyone laugh. Who doesn't know her relationship with Mo Fei? As one of Mo Fei's rumored girlfriends, she is also the most popular actress in Phoenix culture.  Even if she told the whole plot, nothing would happen.  That's just a joke.  It would be good to get a little more information. Although there were many reporters present, it would be better than getting nothing at all. Besides, someone would appear later, so I could get something from him. ??????????????????? But it can¡¯t take so long to finish. There is Pierce Brosnan who was not able to be interviewed by Chung Chu-sun. His appearance here today is already big news.  "Brosnan, if I remember correctly, you should still be on the set of NBC's "Steele". MGM's previous hope of inviting you to film "007" has never been achieved. What is the reason that prompted NBC to be willing to cooperate this time?  " Brosnan shrugged: "Actually, the reason is very simple. Mr. Mo and NBC are also partners. In the near future, viewers will be able to see the Phoenix Culture TV series on NBC. There is something going on between the two partners.  It's easy to talk about. As an actor, of course I abide by the contract arrangement. "It turns out that Phoenix Culture and NBC are partners, and they have already begun cooperating with NBC on TV series. This is the most important news today. The reporter is here.  When I was about to ask this question, I noticed someone else appeared on the other side of the red carpet, so I had to hold back my words.  Fortunately, it was Mo Fei himself who appeared later. He should be able to answer some questions better.  Could it be that he appeared, not one person, not two people, but five people together, no one was rare except him, and four beauties surrounded him in the middle.  What kind of treatment is this? It's too happy. The scene immediately became a sensation. I have never seen this phenomenon before.  "Could it be that you walked on the red carpet with four beauties, and when you got close to the section where reporters gathered, you stopped and walked over. Today is for publicity. If you don't cooperate with reporters, how can they promote you?  "Oh, I bet, sir, you must be the happiest person in Los Angeles today, so you can tell me how you feel now." Reporters are indeed good at finding topics.  Mo Fei's words were already thought out: "To be honest, I feel a lot of pressure. Each of them is excellent. I don't know what to choose next or how to make a decision." Before the reporter could continue,  When asking questions, without waiting for others to have doubts, Mo Fei continued: "Actually, it's like this"?Phoenix Culture recently produced a youth series, and the four of them are the four heroines in the drama. Originally, if the drama continued to be filmed, some of the protagonists would have to be replaced, but their performances were all very good.  Excellent, I'm worried that changing either one will cause dissatisfaction among the audience, so it's really hard for me to choose.  " "This is really a trouble for happiness. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to decide either.  "The reporter's envy was real, but work was also very important. He immediately put away his envy and continued to ask: "Mr., are you talking about the drama series that cooperates with NBC? It can have so many beauties starring together.  This film has piqued my interest, can you tell me about it?  " "Uh, well, it seems a bit inappropriate if I don't say something.  Mo Feixiao hesitated for a moment and said: "Let me introduce these five beautiful girls first. Liu Mujun is an actor from Phoenix Culture Hong Kong Company, Miriam Soto, and Famke Janssen are all  An actress from Phoenix Culture America, Cindy Crawford is an actress from Phoenix Culture America and a model.  In the play, they are all members of the Coast Guard. This film revolves around the stories between them and several other male lifeguards. The content involves love, family, friendship, career, life, family, etc.  All aspects" "I briefly introduced the plot. Now that the film has been sent to NBC for scheduling, I am not afraid that others will use this idea to remake it. In Hong Kong, Xu Haixing is also illegal. In the United States, this is illegal. It is a lawsuit.  It is very possible that the reporter would lose everything. The reporters were worried about the structure of the drama. Of course, there were other problems. They didn¡¯t give Mo Fei an excuse to leave. Immediately, another reporter stood up and asked: "Could it be that?  Sir, regarding Pierce Brosnan's starring role in Phoenix Culture's new film, is there any insider trading or a compromise between Phoenix Culture and NBC?  " Although the question is not pleasant, it is still on the way. Mo Fei curled his lips and smiled and said: "Hey, do you already know the news? It seems that Phoenix Culture's confidentiality work is not done well.  There is no such problem as you mentioned. Phoenix Culture and NBC are good partners. Pierce can star in this movie because there is no conflict between this movie and his contract, and NBC is also willing to provide more for the actors.  opportunity, so we hit it off.  " "But MGM has had negotiations with NBC before about Brosnan's film contract. The conditions given by NBC at that time were very harsh. How can Phoenix Culture's new film pass those conditions?  " "I don't know much about this. I don't know what conditions MGM was facing at that time, so I really can't answer your question.  But I believe that there must be something inappropriate in it, such as conflicting roles. You should know that sometimes an actor is taking a gamble when choosing a role. It is very likely that his career will be ruined because of one role.  , it is necessary to be cautious.  ¡± (There are still 5,000 words left, please wait a moment, I promise to update them tonight.)
