On October 15, the early morning sun shone into the large bedroom through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

As soon as Leman opened his eyes, he hugged Eva's soft body tightly, smelling the faint fragrance of shampoo between his nose, and couldn't help but feel lazy and refused to get up.

After a few minutes of procrastination, Eva said, "Get up."

"Um."

Lehman echoed and sat up from the bed.

"Are you going out tomorrow? What other roles are there to look for you in addition to the project "007"?"

"Johnson is still busy communicating with MGM for Casino Royale. He probably prepared for some time this year, but he couldn't turn on the phone, so I took on another movie, which is an independent work, with not much salary, but the role is quite interesting, and there is a lot of room for performance, so I just want to hone my performance."

"This is a good thing, but this kind of project is very unprotected. Most of it is a three-day tour of the theater, and there is no market prospect."

"It's okay, there's no pressure to act in independent works."

After washing up, after breakfast, they went to the hotel together to attend the celebration party of "Dead Silence".

After the film was removed from North America, although it continued to earn box office overseas, this did not affect Firefly Pictures' desire to encourage the main creators of the crew, and to concentrate.

The reception begins around 10 a.m.

Because it is an internal gathering, the scale of the holding is actually small, but the atmosphere is also lively.

After all, a group of filming staff received incentive bonuses for the box office of "Dead Silence".

In the lively atmosphere, Lehman saw the top again.

He came to find Lehman for the new movie "The Labyrinth of God Pan".

"You have prepared the shooting task in just two or three days?" Lehman picked up the plan table above and looked at the top in surprise.

Well, he underestimated this guy's enthusiasm, or if he was so fascinated by a project that could be directed, the top was very excited.

"It's just the preparation stage, and the actors only sent messages to Ron Pullman, but in order to start filming as soon as possible, it's better not to delay it." The gyro looked in good spirits and replied with a smile.

"With this project Alfonso Caron as the producer? Will he do it himself?"

At this time, no one mentioned the so-called "Three Mexican Masters" name, and at this time, Hollywood was the most important and basic Mexican director, undoubtedly Alfonso Caron.

Just when Gonzalez was still polishing small literary productions, he was not famous internationally; Gyro had just realized the direction of future shooting from a bad B-level film, but Alfonso was already the director of "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban".

"He has been idle recently, and he is quite interested in this project. There is no need to worry about salary. He is here to help, and I pay for it privately." Gyro seemed to have thought of something and quickly explained.

"I don't mean that. Since he is willing to help you, he will pay from the project budget and the production business will follow the rules."

With Alfonso Caron's status, the salary for being a producer is not much higher, and Lehman doesn't care about this expense.

After the cocktail party, Lehman ordered Joseph to connect the financial budget with the new projects prepared by the Gyro as soon as possible.

The current director's salary will increase by 30% compared to "Hellboy", with an approximate salary of 6.5 million plus his own studio bears the production cost of 5 million.

In summary, just looking at the interests of the cooperative producers, it is estimated that the studio of Gyro can account for 10% of the total box office revenue of the film (no deducting the theater account), and the copyright belongs to Firefly Pictures. However, there is also a copy of Gyro Studio around the sequel and even offline.

Later, just after the project was established by "Pan's Maze" and when Gyro was busy building the crew, Lehman saw a good possibility of a project adaptation from Random House's quarterly sales list.

Speaking of which, adapting popular novels into film and television dramas is a very popular project development method in the circle.

But Firefly Pictures actually doesn’t have much experience in buying this area, which is also something that Warner, Lionsgate and other interested partners are quite surprised - Firefly’s project launch is all original scripts, which is too rare.

And on that day, after seeing a novel, Lehman took out a phone call and called his agent Johnson, "Help me pay attention to the adaptation rights of a novel."

Lehman glanced at the newspaper and continued, "The name is "The Devil in Prada."

Lehman thought about hanging up the phone.

And this work may have another translation to make people more known: "The Queen in Prada".

...

When Johnson received the call, he immediately set off for Oscar. On the way, the content of the novel appeared in his mind.

From the editor-in-chief of Random House, he quickly obtained the address of the original author and went to test it himself.

Johnson has been with Lehman for so many years and still has a certain understanding of this person. Generally speaking, he does not like someone to interfere in his private affairs, but if it is not a private affairs and is a novel author, it may well mean that this will be Firefly Pictures' next film project, and it is also a fashion work for the women's market. "The Devil Wearing Prada" tells the novel about a female college student entering a top fashion magazine as the editor-in-chief.

Well, it's quite yyy. It's probably for female readers to get close to the fashion circle secrets, which are the most fresh and curious topics.

After all, following the editor-in-chief's meaning, this novel is very popular among readers, mainly housewives, and has previously dominated the sales list for 50 weeks. It seems that it has market potential to be tapped. Random House's editorial intention is pointing to it.

But after Johnson hurriedly read the original work, he found that the novel was quite trash and not very well-known or innovative. However, this was something that Lehman asked him to do, and he seemed quite interested.

Johnson naturally raised his energy and prepared to plan well.

But I didn't think so...

"What, the adaptation rights have been sold?"

After finally finding the author Lauren Weisberg, it was like this again after explaining the purpose of the visit.

Lauren Weisberg himself was also confused.

She is 28 years old this year. In 2003, she published the novel "The Devil Wearing Prada" based on her workplace experience.

But the novel actually suddenly became popular in mid-2004, but in 2003, she didn't understand the market at that time, and when she met a Fox employee came to discuss the adaptation rights, she was very happy and gave it to her.

This is told that the plan to watch Fox is still needed to make a movie.

Yes, two years have passed, and the total sales of novels are getting higher and higher, but the adaptation matters are still far away.

Lauren Weisberg was very annoyed by this because not making a movie not only means a loss of copyright income, but also means that he cannot see his works on the movie screen.

She was so frustrated that she had no choice but to do anything to Fox.

Because top studios like this are used to spending some money to store popular books and works on the market as company reserves.

As for whether to take pictures or not, let’s talk about it.

Of course, Lauren, as a film and television novice, didn't understand this at all, and the result was completely different from what she imagined. It was hateful that Fox also promised her that she could play a role in the movie and show her face.

"Can you show me the signed adaptation contract?" Johnson didn't give up.
