Yu Dong looked at Yu Nesbo and was thinking about how much his appearance had deviated from Yu Nesbo's trajectory and whether Yu Nesbo would change his career to become a novelist again. At this time, Spielberg was holding a wine glass.
Came over: "YU, you're a little late today."
Looking at Spielberg who was blushing slightly, Yu Dong smiled and said: "Steven, I have something else to do. Are you happy with it?"
"I'm glad, let me tell you something. I just bought the film and television adaptation rights of a novel."
Yu Dong was a little surprised and said: "Is it mine?"
"I can't afford yours now. Everyone in Hollywood knows that if you want your script, you have to prepare at least four million US dollars." Spielberg joked and then said: "It's Marco Reeves.
The book "If This Is True."
"It seems that his novel has not been officially published yet. Have you read the manuscript?"
Spielberg shook his head: "No."
Hearing what Spielberg said, people around him looked at him in surprise. They couldn't figure out why Spielberg bought the film and television adaptation rights of a novel without even reading the manuscript.
Yu Dong didn't ask any more questions, he just nodded and said, "Very good."
His reaction made Spielberg a little surprised, "YU, aren't you curious why I bought the film and television adaptation rights of this novel without even seeing the manuscript?"
Yu Dong smiled and replied: "Nothing curious. When I was in France, I only listened to Marco Levi's ideas and decided to sign him and publish his novel."
The conversation between the two made Doug Lima secretly stunned. Are all genius creators so daring to take risks?
Doug Liman has always considered himself a creator who dares to take risks, but compared with YU and Spielberg, he is far behind.
After chatting with Spielberg for a while, Yu Dongchao looked around and saw Liu Qingyun coming over with a wine glass. He smiled and waved to Liu Qingyun: "Mr. Liu, this way."
Liu Qingyun was originally going to toast Yu Dong, so he quickened his pace after hearing his greeting.
After arriving, Yu Dong introduced Liu Qingyun to Spielberg and others: "Let me introduce to you, this is Liu Qingyun, our new deep space actor."
Hearing Yu Dong's solemn introduction, Spielberg and others greeted Liu Qingyun one after another, and Liu Qingyun was busy responding to them in Mandarin and English.
Liu Qingyun left Jinling after meeting Yu Dong last time, but came to Jinling again three days later, signed a management contract with Shen Kong Company, and officially became an actor under Shen Kong Company.
During this period, Liu Qingyun basically stayed in Jinling, handling the trivial matters after signing the contract, and busy learning to speak Mandarin.
Liu Qingyun is a very active person. Since he has decided to develop inland, practicing Mandarin is naturally an imperative thing. After this period of study, his Mandarin level has been significantly improved.
His English level has caught up with him and has been upgraded from very bad to average.
After the two sides greeted each other, Yu Dong said with a smile: "If you have any roles suitable for Qingyun in the future, you can consider it."
Joe Schumacher chuckled and said: "It depends on whether there is such a character in the script you write for us. YU, I heard Jimmy say that you have written a lot of scripts recently, but there is nothing suitable for us.
?Isn’t it just over four million? If you come up with a good script, I can afford it.”
"That's right, YU, actually we..."
Yu Dong didn't expect that he asked them to help take care of Liu Qingyun, but in exchange, these people beat him up and asked him for the script.
However, this also proves that the four million US dollars is indeed something they take seriously.
Yesterday, Yu Dong talked to Jimmy about the script. What Jimmy meant was that after selling it at high prices once or twice, he would not continue to buy out others, and would cooperate with others on a split-bill basis, so that he could not
Taking up the company's working capital can also ensure maximization of profits.
To put it bluntly, the reason for selling it so high this time is just for advertising.
At this moment, several directors are making noises. In fact, some are just joining in the fun, such as Spielberg. Although Yu Dong did not write a script for him, he has already negotiated with him for "The Martian". In addition, "Deep Space"
Basically, it will be left to him; another example is Doug Liman, this guy has just made two movies, "I Lived for 10,000 Years" and "The Butterfly Effect", and they haven't been released yet, so he has no intention to do it.
Think of other movies.
Yu Dong smiled and said: "Don't hang yourself on my tree. There are many works in our deep space that are very worthy of adaptation."
Joe Schumacher curled his lips and smiled and said: "Yes, there are many authors in your deep space whose works are worthy of adaptation, such as Rowling's "Harry Potter", but the copyright is tightly controlled by you and Warner. Still.
It's the same with "A Song of Ice and Fire", and the film and television rights are still not released to outsiders."
"Old Qiao, if you want "A Song of Ice and Fire", I'll let Jimmy talk to you now."
Joe Schumacher thought for a while, then waved his hand and said: "Forget it, forget it, it's not suitable for me."
Yu Dong shrugged: "Isn't that right? Besides, apart from these few works, don't we have any good works in deep space? You guys just lack the eyes that are good at discovery. Harold's remake
"Her Eyes" performed well at the box office and received good reviews."
Schumacher nodded unconsciously. He had also paid attention to the movie "Her Eyes". The movie's box office performance was average at first due to its schedule, but it had great stamina. In the end, the North American box office exceeded 50 million, and the global box office has already reached
More than 60 million.
There are still many areas where it has not been released, so the final box office will definitely increase a bit.
Although this box office is not high, it can already make a lot of money for the producer. It is a pity that the box office of more than 10 million US dollars in China was manipulated by Deep Space. Otherwise, the producer's income will definitely be higher.
Some.
"Her Eyes" performed so well at the box office in China, and it also gave a boost to the people and companies that have good relations with Deep Space. It seems that the "wild words" Yu Dong said at the Deep Space annual meeting are also the same
Realizing it step by step also proves that their choice to cooperate with deep space is correct.
In fact, regarding the script, needless to say, some directors are already paying attention to these Chinese science fiction novelists headed by Liu Cixin.
