Huayu Entertainment: Tianxian really wants to improve

Chapter 55: Taking Twilight City
Eric fell into deep thought after hearing this.

Gu Bei is now fully qualified to cooperate with them.

Gu Bei has creative ability, funds to run the project, and certain Hollywood connections, so he can promote the entire upstream and downstream process of the project.

The only question is how much benefit can be gained by cooperating with Gu Bei?

In the past, Summit Entertainment and other companies’ joint productions could only get overseas distribution at best.

However, the most lucrative North American distribution rights basically do not belong to them.

The Twilight project can't possibly remain like this, right?
After thinking for a moment, Eric said, "How do we cooperate?"

Gu Bei pointed at himself and said, "Let's start production."

Then he pointed to Director Catherine next to him and said, "Catherine will direct."

Finally, he pointed to Eric and said, "As for you, you will naturally distribute it."

Eric looked at Catherine with a bad expression.

It was obvious that Catherine was the director he brought here, but now it seems that she has gone to Gu Bei's side.

Catherine felt his gaze and shook the notebook in her hand:
"Bruce's script was really good, and I was originally thinking about how to adapt the first-person perspective into a movie.

As a result, Bruce not only produced the script outline, but also had many storyboards already drawn. This was already a secondary creation based on the original work.”

The biggest difficulty in adapting Twilight is that the original novel is written in the first person, and it is necessary to add a lot of details that are not in the original novel.

Gu Bei smiled:
“After all, I am also a director, so I will definitely pay more attention to the shot-by-shot script.

And before I got the copyright, I didn’t dare to adapt the entire script.”

Eric was a little surprised.

Gu Bei's script received such high praise from Catherine.

It is worthy of being a script that convinced the original author, no wonder it attracted Catherine as well.

In the blink of an eye, he seemed to have become a lonely man!
“We can co-produce it!”

Eric wanted to make one last effort.

He had been following this project for half a year, but he only got the global distribution rights, which still made him feel very sorry.

He always felt that this project had the potential to become a hit.

"Eric!"

This time, Gu Bei did not call Eric by his surname, but called him by his first name.

He stood up and walked to Eric's side with an extremely confident look on his face: "Do you really think you still have any chance?"

Eric understood that Gu Bei was putting extreme pressure on him.

He was not at all flustered: "But I think Ms. Meier would rather give the copyright to us, Summit Entertainment, to produce it. Don't you think so?"

"is it?"

Gu Bei asked in return, "Did Ms. Meier tell you that Twilight is not a trilogy, but a tetralogy?"

"what!"

This news was completely beyond Eric's expectations.

According to the information he had received from the publishing house before, the agreement signed by both parties clearly only included the publishing agreement for the trilogy.

The film and television adaptation rights of the trilogy were also sold to MTV Films.

Therefore, he always thought that Twilight was a trilogy and was moving forward with that as the project plan.

But now someone tells him that there is a fourth part of Twilight?
"Do you still think Ms. Meier would rather hand over the copyright to you?"

Gu Bei did not hesitate to add salt to Eric's wounds.

The fourth part of The Twilight Saga is a big pit that Summit Entertainment stepped into in its previous life!
As for this news, I'm afraid even Stephenie Meyer hasn't made up her mind yet.

"Wait a mininute!"

Eric left the room.

Nearly an hour had passed.
He returned to the room with a sullen face and looked at Gu Bei: "You win, we can cooperate and follow your plan."

Eric used his own channels to find out that the publishing house was persuading Stephenie Meyer to write the fourth Twilight film.

Gu Bei had already learned the news in advance, but he knew nothing about it, which meant that he was far behind the other party in the negotiation progress.

Rather than waiting until Gu Bei obtains the copyright, he would get nothing.

It would be better to agree to cooperate now and get some of the benefits first at the cost of withdrawing from the negotiations.

"Happy cooperation!"

Gu Bei stretched out his hand and shook hands with Eric.

His smile was sincere.

After all, this is the biggest sum of money I have earned since my rebirth.

Even Riot Games, its value in the next few years, cannot be compared with the copyright of Twilight!

Early the next morning.

Eric kept his promise and left the resort.

When Gu Bei appeared in front of Stephenie Meyer with Catherine, Stephenie Meyer couldn't help but look surprised.

She wants to learn from JK Rowling and ensure that the movie can restore her novel to the greatest extent possible.

But what she didn't expect was that,
Gu Bei and Eric did cooperate, but they left her behind!
However, even though Stephenie Meyer was unhappy, when Gu Bei put a group of shots in front of her, she couldn't help but be moved.

“This is exactly what I imagined it would look like!”

Stephenie Meyer wasn't shy about her praise.

She couldn't let go of Edward in the script. His handsome appearance with a hint of brokenness perfectly matched the image she had imagined when she was writing the book.

She can't wait to get these shots!
"Don't worry, Ms. Meier, these are just some storyboards. I'm still working on the full script. We can contact each other later by email."

Gu Bei did not take out the complete script.

He needs to delay for a while, otherwise if he starts the project too early, he will not have enough funds.

His career has been on the fast track recently, but his funds are also being consumed rapidly. It seems that every project is asking him for money.

"It doesn't matter. I've already waited for three years. I don't mind waiting a few more years."

Stephenie Meyer shook her head indifferently.

Afterwards, the three of them chatted for a long time.

It mainly discusses various details in Twilight.

From time to time, some things will pop up that were not even in the original movie.

"call!"

Gu Bei returned to the villa and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Something happened here.

Twilight, got it!

"Are you done talking?"

Liu Yifei was lying on the sofa with a book in her hands.

She raised her head and looked at Gu Bei who had just returned.

Gu Bei's heart moved.

Why does this tone sound like a wife waiting for her husband to come home from work?

"We're done." Gu Bei walked over and sat next to her. "What did you do today?"

"go to bed!"

Liu Yifei said proudly.

Normally, I can't just lie down like this all day long at home. If my mother catches me, she will have to scold me.

Even if she was at the Xia family, she couldn't be as comfortable as she is now, after all, she was still in someone else's home.

Now that's a vacation!

Sleep when you want to sleep, wake up when you want to wake up!
