Chapter 72 Film and Television Adaptation
It was already midnight when Jiang Yang and the others returned to Kyoto.
Sister Xia drove them home. They washed up a little and went to sleep.
But Andy, who is on the other side of the ocean in California, has just arrived at CBP Film Company. This film company has a long history. It was founded in the early 20th century and is now a first-class film and television company.
Andy is no stranger to CBP Film Company, she just came two days ago.
The company she works for is an international copyright trading company. Their market is not limited to the Southern Dynasties, but radiates to the entire East Asia. In their daily work, they mostly buy international copyrights and sell them to East Asia, but they also do a lot of work promoting East Asian copyrights.
Her last job was to promote the copyright of a Korean comic book.
This Korean comic is very popular in the Southern Dynasties, and it is extremely popular. Among similar comics, it must be deep and refreshing, and it must be refreshing and refreshing. It is very unique in subject matter, style, and plot. Now it has been published in the Southern Dynasties. There are plans to make it into a film and television drama.
Their company is very optimistic about this comic. In recent years, the export of copyright trade in East Asia has been increasing day by day, especially Japan and South Korea. Among comics, Japanese comics are the mainstay. Their company wants this excellent comic to open up the Korean comic market and increase the company's voice.
However-
She recommended this comic to major film and television companies and publishing companies, and the answer was no.
Two days ago, she was at CBP Film Company. When she heard the word "sorry" from the copyright manager, the ketchup on his lips was still vivid in her mind.
Just when Andy was frustrated about her inability to work, she received a call from Sister Chen.
If it hadn't been for this phone call, Andy would have forgotten the big devil Li Yu.
She got to know Li Yu through the copyright trade. At that time, Li Yu's songs were very popular, and a singer in South Korea became popular when he covered her songs. Then both girl groups and solo singers were interested in buying her copyright to adapt and cover them. As Andy, Li Yu's agent completed these tasks very well and even sold the copyright to Riyu Entertainment, thus winning Li Yu's trust and becoming the company's copyright agent dedicated to serving Li Yu. It's a pity that after Li Yu retired, the contact between them was broken.
Andy never expected that the next call he received from Sister Chen would be about the film and television rights of a novel.
“‘84 Charing Cross Street’?”
After hanging up the phone, Andy muttered that she had heard of this book. It has been very popular recently and has been frequently mentioned by major media. As a copyright trade agent, she has also paid attention to this book. After knowing that this book is an epistolary novel, I no longer feel at ease. This kind of novel does not have much value for film and television adaptation.
Of course, this is what she thinks.
She should have paid for such arrogance and warned herself not to do it again. However, who would have thought that the good relationship forged a few years ago would inadvertently produce good results, and she would be the agent for the copyright.
She went to the bookstore downstairs and bought this book before getting off work. It was a very thin book. She read the whole book before going to bed.
After reading it, Andy felt a lot. This was a very good book, but she didn't even read it. If it weren't for this chance, she might have missed this good book. "Andy, you are so beautiful." Insensitive." She hit her forehead with the book.
However, she still feels that the film and television adaptation of this book is a bit difficult, but once the adaptation is successful and respects the original work without being bloody, she feels that it may be a film with a good reputation.
Sister Chen has already communicated with CBP Film Company via email and agreed to talk today.
Different from the last time Andy came to sell Korean comic rights, this time the demander was CBP Film Company, and Andy had the upper hand. Even so, she didn't dare to show off. It wasn't just this time that she cooperated with CBP Film Company. Offending them now would make him feel uncomfortable in his future work, so Andy went out early, but who would have thought that there would be a traffic jam on the road.
It’s now five minutes late.
She hurriedly got on the elevator and arrived in front of the copyright manager's office of CBP Film Company. Before she could tell the blond assistant the purpose of her trip, the blond assistant rejected her, "I'm sorry, miss, this is what you have been here for this month." This is the third time, and we gave you a clear answer last time."
This is real.
Andy promoted it three times, but he couldn't get the rights manager to take a look at the Korean comic.
She admired her own shamelessness.
Andy smiled and said: "I have already made an appointment with your manager."
The blond assistant was surprised, "It's impossible."
She lowered her head to check the records.
Andy said very calmly and in a word: "I am the agent for the film and television adaptation rights of "84 Charing Cross Street". My client made an appointment with your manager yesterday."
"Copyright agent for "Charling"?!"
Andy felt inexplicably happy after seeing the surprise of his blond assistant.
The assistant led the way, "Miss Andy, please follow me."
After arriving at the office, the copyright manager saw her and was surprised: "Why is she here again?"
Before he could blame the assistant, the assistant said a few words.
The copyright manager stood up and shook hands, "It turns out that Miss Andy is the agent of "84 Charing Cross Street". Please have a seat."
Andy is not here to slap someone in the face, but to do business. She is now representing Li Yu, and what she has to do is to strive for the best interests of her customers. This is her professionalism and cannot be influenced by anything.
She shook hands respectfully and apologized for being late.
The manager doesn’t care.
Then, Andy showed the authorization contract she had signed with Li Yu before, and then they started to talk formally. The big devil didn't have many requirements, just maximizing benefits, so this kind of cooperation was a regular one. Both parties were familiar with each other, and no one could deceive the other. In less than an hour, they were almost done talking.
It’s just that the contract still has to be reviewed by Li Yu.
When he stood up to say goodbye at the end, the copyright manager shook hands and said, "Ms. Andy, you are very professional."
"Thanks."
The copyright manager then talked about the copyright of the Korean comic she recommended. The reason why they did not buy it was that the Korean comic had profound cultural genes of the Southern Dynasties. The current market is not very promising. If there are changes in the future, they can discuss it again.
Andy thanked the manager.
She knew this was her profession, and of course, the most important thing was the book "84 Charing Cross Street", which won her respect. This made her realize once again that only when you have something in your hands and speak toughly can you gain the respect of others.
After going out, Andy took out the copy of "84 Charing Cross Street" he bought yesterday from his bag.
The big devil will really surprise people. He made such a big noise on the other side of the ocean without making any noise. I just don’t know whose pen name the organizer of this book is “Anonymous”, the Great Demon King’s, or someone related to the Great Demon King.
She doesn’t know much about the origin of this book yet.
Fortunately, she understands Chinese, otherwise she would not be able to cooperate with Li Yu on behalf of the company.
After getting into a taxi, she searched for relevant information in Chinese on her mobile phone, and then she learned that the Big Devil had come back, and the first song of his comeback, "Farewell", was like a god.
This made Andy's eyes light up, maybe—
As for this book, it was given to the Great Demon King by "Anonymous". On the Chinese Internet, Anonymous is the author of this book and the composer of "Farewell" and "The Lady".
This anonymous name is a bit interesting.
Perhaps she should set her sights back on the Chinese-speaking world? She had just joined the company at that time, and it was the devil who made her successful.
