Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!

It was supposed that previous life once had a chat with a friend. At that time, a movie named 《Finding Mr. Right》 happened. The two chatted about the movie at random. Finally, they started to go back when they were talking. Many movies such as 《Grey Gardens》, "Sleepless in Seattle", 《Love Story》, etc. are inspired by Gary · Grant and Deborah Kerr's famous "An Affair to Remember".

Of course, this is not the point. What Eric thought is that the friend also mentioned a sentence by chance, it seems that because of the popularity of "Sleepless in Seattle", the video tape of "An Affair to Remember" was in flames, and the 2 million box was sold in a short time. This is an unexpected windfall for all Film Studio of copyright.

"An Affair to Remember" is already an old movie forty years ago. Although the two starring actors were both Hollywood superstar at that time, the time has passed so long, and this movie is not as infinite as the movie like 007. The sequel to shoots, so there is not much commercial value, maybe one or two million can buy out all the copyright of this movie. Moreover, Eric considers his future shoots "Sleepless in Seattle" and must obtain some authorization from copyright of "An Affair to Remember". After the other party learns of this, it is hard to guarantee that they will not get a ridiculous starting price. It is better to buy all copyright now.

Seeing Eric think of a slightly excited expression, the girl couldn't bear her temper, scratching Eric's chest and asked hurriedly: "Eric, is there any good movie for me, please talk about it?"

"There is no movie, but if you want to make a fortune, you have a good chance," Eric picked up the pen and wrote the movie name "An Affair to Remember" on the paper: "Do you know this movie?"

Drew glanced at his eyes wide and shook his head sincerely: "I don't know."

Eric can only explain patiently; "Then you always remember that I told you my next movie?"

The girl made a small mouth toward the location of the Nicole room outside the study: "Of course."

"In the setting of that movie, Heroine Annie likes to watch" An Affair to Remember "very much. I think if" Sleepless in Seattle "is released, the sales volume of" An Affair to Remember "will definitely increase greatly, so if you want to make money You can use the time of the holiday to find a way to buy all the copyright of this movie. This is an old movie 40 years ago. As long as the price is right, Film Studio is definitely willing to sell it. "

Drew has a blind trust in Eric. If Eric says to others like this, it is estimated that the other party will doubt it, but Drew has no doubts about this, but asks: "But, I bought it, I Where to release the videotape? "

"Firefly will start to build its own distribution channels in the near future, including video channels," Eric said, remembering "Home Alone" and the three movie contracts signed to Fox, and there was a trace of helplessness and regret.

At the beginning, he was alone and out of the blue. Many things were not too comprehensive. Therefore, when signing the agreement, the copyright, such as movie tapes and TV broadcasting rights, was handed over to the Fox agent. Firefly can only wait. Divided, although it looks good, after all, many independent movies produced by Film Studio do not even have the qualification to divide, and usually only buy out at a price, and he can still enjoy the share treatment. But compared to issuing it by yourself, handing over the agency rights to Fox is still equivalent to losing a lot of income in vain. After all, after going through the release process, the movie's reputation and reputation have been determined. If you can have your own video distribution channel, even if it is not as comprehensive as a big company, it can still make more profit than the giants cut off a big cake. After that, I got much more shares.

Moreover, during this period of time, he learned that even small companies with distribution capabilities, even if they hand over the distribution rights of their movies to those film giants, they usually would not transfer the surrounding copyright such as video tapes. The proportion of revenue in the total revenue of the movie is increasing. The income of these peripheral copyright is likely to be an important source of funding to support a second and third line Film Studio. Those second and third line Film Studio, if there are good film and television resources in the library, are obtained from it every year. The surrounding income can support the daily operation of Film Studio without drawing money from Box Office income or investors. As long as there is no huge loss of investment, these Film Studio can survive forever.

Therefore, Eric is also eager to establish its own distribution channel as soon as possible. The next three films of "The Others", 《Scent of a Woman》 and 《Steel Magnolias》 and the surrounding copyright of 《Friends》 will definitely not be let out.

"But, Eric, I have no money." Drew blinked his eyes and looked at Eric like a goblin.

Eric could n’t help but squeeze the girl ’s white and tender face: “Did you have a card, just brush it and earn your money ...” Eric paused here, remembering the saying that Westerners do not have a dowry , Can only change his mouth: "If you earn your small treasury, you will lose your money."

"Then I'll do it," Drew rubbed his face and rubbed it on Eric's face, and the small mouth was about to nibble at Eric's lips, but he was still blocked by a big hand in front, so he didn't mind Licked out a little tongue in the palm of Eric.

"You must have been a cat in your last life, and you like to lick the palms of your hands so much." Eric removed the girl from her lap: "Okay, now I have something to do, and I have money to make. I can go to bed." . "

"Eric, you haven't slept with me in a long time," the girl said with a grudge.

"I am a law-abiding citizen," Eric reached out with a scornful face and pushed the girl towards the door of the room: "And there are outsiders here."

Drew seemed to be very happy when he heard the word ‘outsiders’ and threw himself over and forced to kiss on Eric ’s face before leaving.

Eric looked at the closed study door and smiled, shook his head, and turned his attention to the monitor to start the finishing work of 《Friends》 script. Barry · Diller personally called and told Eric to pay attention to the shoots process of 《Friends》, although the American drama While shooting while broadcasting, 《Friends》 is no exception, but now it is almost August, TV series starts in September, and Eric has only one month left.

"Eric, this is today's newspaper," early in the morning of the next day, after a routine exercise of Eric, he returned to the living room after a shower, and Nicole thoughtfully placed newspaper on the coffee table in front of Eric.

"Thank you, Nicole." Eric enjoyed the girl's new pink maid outfit with great interest, and then picked up newspaper and looked at it. Nicole also returned to the kitchen to be busy again.

After a while, Eric in newspaper I saw the name of a movie on this, and this movie happens to be Columbia Issued, I did not expect a good score, and the name is 《When Harry Met Sally》 , The protagonist has hosted many sessions Oscar Billy Chris Care Meg · Ryan , " Sleepless in Seattle "The original hostess.

Eric still likes the actress with a sweet smile, but it seems that the other party ’s star path is very bumpy. In sum, it may be considered that the sweetheart ’s selection is very poor, and it seems that she is more successful. Both films are in collaboration with Tom · Hanks, one is "Sleepless in Seattle", the other is 《You've Got Mail》 a few years later, and the rest have no outstanding works.

The reason why she has a bad vision is because this sweetheart has passed by a series of big-bang movies. It seems to be very magical. Since the nineties, she has rejected 《Pretty Woman》 and refused " "Ghost", and even rejected "Basic Instinct", which made Sharon Stone, who was unknown, of course, the reason is not willing to take it off, but after this sweetheart arrived in the new century, he took off without any care for the transformation I wanted to imitate the success of "Basic Instinct" and participated in a similar type of 《In the Cut》, but unfortunately this movie did not have the good luck of "Basic Instinct" that year, and it directly fell to the country of Java.

Looking at the Box Office data of 《When Harry Met Sally》 on newspaper, it is estimated that this sweetheart will be a little bit hot. Because of Eric, the history of Hollywood has undergone a big deviation. I do n’t know if this sweetheart is in this Time and space will not be unlucky as always.

"Nicole, is it okay to come here?" Eric looked at 《When Harry Met Sally》 on newspaper, but remembered the image of the other party in "Sleepless in Seattle" in memory, so he shouted a busy girl in the kitchen.

"What's the matter?" Nicole quickly came out with a small shovel in his hand.

"That, consider as finished, you are busy first, have breakfast and then talk."

"Oh," the girl turned inexplicably and walked back.

On the dining table, Drew grunted and finished his breakfast, pulled out an paper towel, wiped his mouth, and hurriedly got up to go out.

"Come back, sit down and drink the milk," Eric glared at the girl with half of the glass of milk left: "You are in a hurry to return to Mars, so hurry."

The girl reluctantly sat back in her chair and explained: "I'm going to find someone to buy the copyright for that movie."

"Have a good breakfast before you talk," Eric repeated Drew's explanation.

"Hum," the girl sniffed her nose, picked up the milk, and poured it in her mouth: "That's all right."

"Okay, go crazy."

"Nasty," Drew took another paper towel, wiped his mouth and walked out, came to the door of the restaurant, suddenly turned around and glared at Nicole, then turned his attention to Eric: "When I was not at home , You are not allowed to mess with Oh. "
