After a simple understanding, Bill rosis found an excuse to ask George Martin''s agent out of the reception room. There are only two of them left. When negotiating formally, the agent needs to be present, but this kind of private meeting is not necessary. Moreover, George Martin''s agent is not a fool. Since he left here, he must have a meeting with Bill rosis Let''s talk about it alone.


    Just like Murphy''s negotiation on "Sin City", the negotiation on copyright has never been easy, and no author or agent would listen to people''s swindle. He would not even pay for the adaptation, just like a mentally handicapped kid, to let out his own copyright.


    As we all know, Hollywood has never been good at original, and as time goes on, more and more emphasis on adaptation.


    George Martin, who has been in Hollywood, is no stranger to this circle.


    Without waiting for George Martin to speak, Murphy said, "I think song of ice and fire is the" anti traditional pioneer "in fantasy literature. It is not a fictional fantasy novel in a complete sense, but a realistic world."


    George Martin has been nodding one after another. It''s obvious that Murphy''s words are in his heart.


    Although song of ice and fire was created as a fantastic epic, in which the fantasy factors such as court struggle, battlefield fighting, travel and adventure, and magic confrontation are fascinating, he also admits that such a huge fictional "overhead world" must rely on the embedding of realistic factors, so that readers can feel the real existence of the "second world" and make it a reality This epic has its practical significance. Murphy Stanton''s words are straight to the point. He has completely grasped the main idea of this series, and it sounds like he has a lot of research on this series.


    Unconsciously, George Martin subconsciously had a considerable identity with Murphy.


    "I think this series should appear in front of more people," Murphy said without stopping. "It should spread in a wider range, not just in a small group of fantasy readers."


    Although George Martin no longer nodded, he could see the recognition on his face even a few years old.


    From the last negotiation to capture Franco Miller, Murphy summed up a lot of experience. Sometimes these literary creators are a little lonely. They often need recognition more than ordinary people, and they like to show what they are most proud of and good at.


    Therefore, Murphy asked timely, "George, after reading the first trilogy, I always have a question, how do you think of such a huge world outlook and plot structure? Or, where did you get your first inspiration? "


    He laughed. "I''m not only a director, but also a screenwriter. Sometimes my inspiration dries up and I want to pry my head open."


    "The exhaustion of inspiration is really worrying."


    it seems that Murphy''s words just hit the itch, and George Martin kept on saying, "I wrote a short story before. In the process of writing, I suddenly conceived such a scene: an ice wolf was stabbed in the throat by a antler and died, leaving a few coyotes, and then the coyotes were carried away and caressed by a group of children Keep... "


    He cleared his throat and said, "this image became more and more intense in my mind, which ignited my long lost passion for creation. From then on, it became uncontrollable, and then came the game of power."


    "It''s really strange." Murphy said with a smile.


    George Martin nodded. "Sometimes I find it incredible."


    Murphy and George Martin talked about the novel, and then gradually led the topic to adaptation.


    "If we adapt TV series, we should move closer to company of brothers." Of course, he can see that George Martin also wants to make his works appear in front of more people. The audience of TV platform is undoubtedly wider than that of novels. "My idea is that adaptation must have large investment and production, so as to reproduce the scene of novels."


    "Yes." George Martin sighed heavily.


    When someone contacted him a few years ago, he couldn''t see the investment scale alone.


    "George, we can make game of Thrones into ten episodes." Murphy deliberately put himself and George Martin on the same front, "with a total investment of no less than $50 million, making movies in the way of mainstream Hollywood movies..."


    George Martin ignored everything else and was completely attracted by the $50 million figure.


    In fact, he is very clear that the audience of fantasy TV series is not wide in North America, and there are no successful fantasy TV series in the past, which is why the people who contacted him at the beginning were not willing to put in a lot of investment. If they did not put in enough investment and were not popular TV series, the possibility of adaptation failure would be very high.


    If he fails, his hope and waiting will be lost.


    Although this figure is far less than the investment of brothers company, it is amazing that a TV series that has not passed any ratings test can invest 50 million US dollars in ten episodes.For a moment, George Martin wanted to nod his head.


    But he is not a fool after all. He can''t make any promise when he knows that the agent is not present.


    After that, Murphy stopped talking about this, instead, he talked about some interesting things in Hollywood with George Martin. After showing enough sincerity, he can''t be too anxious, which is also bad for him.


    About 15 minutes later, Murphy voluntarily ended the interview. When he sent George Martin out, he invited him and said, "George, I have a formal party at home this weekend to celebrate the sale of the dead waiter. Do you have time?"


    George Martin just wanted to agree, but after thinking about the time, he said apologetically, "unfortunately, I''m going to New York at the weekend. My sister has something to do."


    Murphy seemed very sorry. "It''s just too bad."


    The agents of bill rosis and George Martin over there also came out of the other drawing room. Four people said a few words, and Murphy and bill rosis saw them off.


    As George Martin and his agent walked away, Murphy stood at the door of the Death Star Building and asked, "how was the conversation?"


    Bill - rosis shrugged, "it''s going well, his agent can''t wait to sell the adaptation right, a lot to get some commission."


    Murphy looked at his watch. "That''s all for today. I''ve invited grace to the party company. Don''t forget to be on time for the weekend."


    "I''ll be here before everyone else." Bill rosis said with a smile.


    As I said to Robert Downey Jr. and James Franco, Murphy is going to hold a party at home after Gail gado''s return, which can also be regarded as thanking friends and partners for their support. It''s not a rotten Carnival Party in Hollywood, but a formal party with dinner.


    Murphy invited not only a single person, but also their family members and girlfriends. This is CAA''s suggestion. They have conducted in-depth research on it. On the basis of establishing certain cooperation or friendship between the two sides, they can bring their families together to participate in the party, which can significantly shorten the relationship between them.


    In this regard, Murphy also believes in CAA''s vision. Grace is in charge of party preparation. Hollywood also has a special company like this.


    The party was on this Saturday night. (to be continued). ）For mobile phone users, please browse and read for better reading experience.
