Chapter 566 easily won the copyright.
"Ivanka, when you visited the bookstore recently, did you find a book called "The Twilight Saga"?" Little Gilbert asked.
“I haven’t seen it before, what’s wrong?”
Little Gilbert explained: “This book has been very popular recently, and I want to see if it has the potential to be adapted into a movie.”< br>
“Wait a minute,” Ivanka put down her work, took her laptop, and logged on to the Amazon website to check.
“Found it,” Ivanka read the introduction: “Isabella Swan is a seventeen-year-old girl who fell in love with her classmate, the popular Edward Cullen.
Edward Cullen is a vampire, he can see through people's thoughts, except Isabella, so Isabella is deeply attracted to him
<. br>When Bella was hurt by a vampire, Edward Cullen rescued Isabella with the help of his family, and the two fell in love. "
"What do you think?" Little Gilbert. asked.
Ivanka thought for a while and replied: "Just reading the introduction, it is a boring youth campus novel, mixed with some vampire legends and the like, nothing special.
However, I saw that this book is quite popular on the website, ranking among the top three in terms of sales. "
"That's right," little Gilbert said with a snap of his fingers: "This kind of novel looks like a third-rate novel at first glance, but often such novels can still be successful when adapted into movies. "
The huge sales volume does not affect the fact that "Twilight" is a third-rate novel, but as long as it can make money, third-rate novels can become first-rate.
"You want to direct it yourself? "Ivanka asked.
Little Gilbert shook his head: "How could I possibly direct such a movie? Loss of status. But I was optimistic about the profit potential of the movie, so I got the copyright and found someone to adapt it. "
Ivanka understood: "Okay, I'll go find someone to make contact. ”
It has just snowed in New York, and sanitation workers on the streets are clearing away the snow. With donations from wealthy New Yorkers, the snow in wealthy areas of Manhattan has been cleared first.
At this time, in a shopping mall in Manhattan, many book fans were queuing up holding a book called "The Twilight Saga: Twilight"
"The Twilight Saga: Twilight" had just been published. In just a few weeks, it ranked fourth on the New York Times bestseller list and ranked third on Amazon's book shopping website.
The success of this book also made Stephanie, a stay-at-home mother of three children. ·Meier became a best-selling novel author in one fell swoop.
With the popularity of the book, the publisher has also arranged a series of signing plans. As the book sales center in the United States, New York will naturally host more book signings.
Stephanie Meyer greeted the readers with a smile, but never stopped writing. She signed 500 books one after another, and today's book signing is over.
Stephanie Meyer took a breather and rested, when book agent Lenny Walker came over excitedly holding the phone.
"Morgan, good news, you will never guess what good news it is."
Stephanie Meyer just took a breather and drank a cup of coffee. Seeing Lenny Walker so excited, she became curious Said: "Did you win the Powerball lottery?"
"How did you know? You won a thousand dollars, but that's not important." Lenny Walker was mysterious, but could not hide his excitement: " Morgan, your book has been spotted by Hollywood big shots.
They have decided to acquire the rights and adapt it into a movie.”
Stephanie Meyer was immediately excited when she heard it. "
"Can I lie to you? I just received a call." Lenny Walker shook his phone: "The other party will come to New York to talk in person. This is a good opportunity."
Stephanie Meyer couldn't hide her excitement, she asked: "Can you know who the big shot is?"
"Who else could it be?" Lenny Walker said: "The one you always talk about."
"You mean, Director Gilbert Landrini Jr." Stephen Ni Meyer: "He will personally direct my work."
"Don't dream, for such a big shot, unless it's "Lord of the Rings", even "Harry Potter" he is just He is just a producer. "
Lenny Walker said: "But this shows that he is really optimistic about your novel and it has the potential to make a success in the film market. Do you think we should make it? Is this news going to be revealed?”
“No,” Stephenie Meyer decisively refused: “Only director Gilbert Jr. can ensure the success of the film adaptation, and I don’t care about anyone else. Trust.
Lenny, go and get in touch with them and agree to them if the conditions are right.”
“Okay,” Lenny Walker said, “I will negotiate a terms that is more beneficial to us. "
"Yes!" Stephenie Meyer nodded and said: "Also, try to have Director Gilbert direct it himself."
"This may be difficult, but I will. You can give it a try." Lenny Walker agreed.
Little Gilbert didn't expect that this Stephenie Meyer was his fan, or that the whole family was his fan. Stephenie Meyer and her husband, Chris Johnson, got to know each other while watching Gilbert Gilbert's movie in the theater.
With this relationship, it is normal for Stephenie Meyer to be inclined towards him.
If Melon Studio wanted to obtain the copyright of the "Twilight" novel, it naturally couldn't hide it from the people in Hollywood. After David Ellison heard about it, he personally flew to New York to meet with Stephenie Meyer.
"Ms. Mel, please think about it. The conditions at our Sky Studio are very favorable, definitely better than those at Melon Studio." David Ellison said sincerely.
But Stephenie Meyer opposite was unmoved: "Has Sky Studio achieved anything? It seems that few of the movies produced in recent years have been successful.
Cantaloupe Studio But with little Gilbert as the director and his control, the movie will definitely be a success."
David Ellison is helpless, and the subtext of Stephenie Meyer is that he is not as good as little Gilbert. This was a fact and he couldn't refute it.
In the field of film production, few in Hollywood dare to say that they are better than Little Gilbert.
Stephanie Meyer added: "Besides, the conditions offered by Melon Studio are not bad and their attitude is not bad. I have no reason to refuse them.
Also..."
"What else?"
Stephanie Meyer was a little proud: "I am a fan of director Gilbert Jr., and he promised to invite me to the premiere of "The Last of Us."
< br>If I have the chance, I can make a cameo appearance in his work. This is my dream.”
David Ellison was completely defeated. It turns out that you are a fan of Little Gilbert. , If I didn’t tell you earlier, I would have wasted so much saliva.
In this way, with Stephenie Meyer's intention, Melon Studio obtained the film adaptation rights for "The Twilight Saga" and the series of novels without any suspense.
Little Gilbert, who was far away in Australia, even made a special call to Stephenie Meyer, making the new best-selling author jump with excitement.
"Ms. Meier, don't worry, the movies produced by our Melon Studio are always guaranteed. Your work will be no exception. We will find a good director and screenwriter to complete the adaptation work."
Although he knew it was impossible, Stephenie Meyer still held out hope and asked Little Gilbert: "Director Little Gilbert, can you direct this movie yourself?"
Little Gilbert smiled. He shook his head and said: "Ms. Mel, I'm sorry, my future work plans are full and I have no timetable.
But don't worry, I will personally keep an eye on this film project to ensure that its quality will not be bad. .”
"Okay!"
Stephanie Meyer could also accept it. She began to imagine that when she wrote a masterpiece like "The Lord of the Rings", she could ask Little Gilbert to take action.
But not everyone can write a novel like "The Lord of the Rings".
But it’s always good to have hope.
