Li Zhenyu did not think of copyright right away, but began to describe to him the ice and fire world in his mind.

The Seven Kingdoms, the North, the Land of Eternal Winter, the Wall...

The Night's Watch, the White Walkers, the Nameless Ones, the Dragon Mother, the Unsullied...

Conspiracy and war, magic and mystery...

As he got excited, Martin handed him the pencil, and Li Zhenyu started sketching on the blank space in the notebook in front of him.

The scribbled and messy lines seemed vivid in Martin's eyes.

He seemed to see the world he created gradually taking shape in the other person's hands, becoming vivid and real.

Regardless of whether he is a producer or director, at least his identity as a book fan must be real.

Moreover, he has a unique and in-depth understanding of the world in the book.

"Li, if you can get the support of the eight major parties and agree to my conditions, it will be yours."

Martin was touched by his sincerity, but that didn't make him lower his demands.

Must be one of the eight and personally participate in the production.

That change left Martin with deep trauma, and his book was changed beyond recognition.

The screenwriters simply ignored his opinions, and so did the film company.

This time he would never give up all his power, and he would never let himself become Eddard Stark in real life.

Even if it was Eddard Stark, he would have learned something after dying once.

'bite!'

A pleasant voice sounded, and Li Zhenyu fell silent.

In Martin's eyes, he was struggling with his thoughts.

Should I agree to my conditions or give up this opportunity...

Martin's heart tightened as well. He had never been so eager to fulfill his wish.

Even he himself yearned for the world described by the other party.

If we work with him, we will definitely be able to create the best world of ice and fire.

'Trigger new mission: accept the challenge.'

'With the support of one of the eight major film studios, we successfully won the copyright of A Song of Ice and Fire.'

'Fixed reward: Martin's friendship.'

Can Martin's friendship help him get the film and television rights to Ice and Fire? Li Zhenyu guessed that it would work, so this friendship is worth billions of dollars.

"I agree."

Li Zhenyu stretched out his hand, looked him straight in the eyes and said sincerely: "Martin, for friendship!"

"For friendship."

Make a gentleman's agreement with Martin to give him an answer within three months.

Li Zhenyu returned to his seat, "Who is that?"

Claire didn't know George Martin, or rather, she didn't recognize him as the man in the photo.

"George R.R. Martin, a regular on the New York bestseller list and the author of A Song of Ice and Fire."

“Oh my god!”

Upon learning the other party's identity, Claire exclaimed.

If she had known this earlier, she wouldn't have wasted her time waiting here.

George Martin, a best-selling author, is one of the best clients in the eyes of the law firm.

However, it’s not too late to go up and hand over your business card now.

…

After dealing with Twitter, Li Zhenyu did not rush back to New York. The G300 landed in Los Angeles again.

Claire was left behind in San Francisco, and the team Baker McKenzie had sent to assist her with the handover was due to arrive.

However, these are not what Li Zhenyu is most concerned about at the moment.

Leslie Maya was his new crush.

With the identity of "personal secretary" of Berkshire Hathaway shareholders, Leslie Maya successfully met the senior management of MGM.

After explaining her purpose to the other party, Maya received the answer "Please go back!"

An unknown person can become the host of a banquet with just an 'admission ticket'.

This is such a joke...

If she had listened to the other party's instructions, she would have left in frustration.

Perhaps there would be no subsequent story, but she did not do so. Instead, she told the whole draft she had prepared.

Finally, I got a chance thanks to my excellent coping skills.

"You said he would develop 007 and The Hobbit. Bring the script and we'll talk."

It's all empty talk. If you say it can be developed, then develop it.

Compared to an American who ran away from South Korea, MGM is obviously more willing to trust its own people.

So, Li Zhenyu turned into a tool man and has been busy writing a new script for "The Hobbit" these two days.

He had watched this film many times and was deeply impressed by the plot.

However, if you want to turn the plot into a script, it requires certain writing and creative skills.

Just like, not everyone can easily write a 100-point review after watching a movie.

Fortunately, he is blessed with "creative talent" and there are so many ready-made videos for him to disassemble and learn from.

The films in the K-Pop entertainment library, once selected, will form an inherent and vivid memory in his mind.

The whole process seemed like he really created it from scratch and personally participated in the creation.

The insights and experiences during the creative period are extremely real.

This is also the reason why Li Zhenyu can show off his acting skills on the set and teach the movie emperor how to act.

He has many different insights, coupled with his 'creative talent' and his own accumulated experience.

Li Zhenyu locked himself in a hotel room for three days and finally came up with a script that satisfied him.

"Maya, help me arrange a meeting with Stephen Cooper and tell him that he has what he wants."

Li Zhenyu, who had not gone out for many days, finally stepped out of the room.

Li Zhenyu took the Mercedes provided by the hotel to Hollywood and met Maya in front of the MGM gate.

With shiny blonde hair and a delicate baby face, she is still the iconic American lamb.

She is harmless, well-behaved and cute, and no man can resist her charm.

The temptation of blonde girls is the weak spot that American men cannot resist.

It has been like this since Jean Harlow…

"Mr. Li, is this the script?"

Getting in the car and entering the set with him, Maya looked at the manuscript on his lap with curiosity.

"That's right."

Noticing her eager expression, Li Zhenyu said with a smile: "The meeting is over, you can enjoy the view on the way back."

"Thank you. I'm looking forward to it." Maya cupped her hands and tilted her head slightly, looking very cute.

The car stopped in front of a brown wooden door next to the studio. The door was open, and there was a staircase leading up. MGM President Stephen Cooper was at the top.

With thick dark brown hair and a thin face, he looks like a patient who has been on an excessive diet.

There is a small mustache on the chin, and it can be seen that the owner cares about it very much. The stubble is trimmed neatly, without a trace of sloppiness.

"Mr. Li, welcome to MGM."

"Thank you, Stephen. It is also my honor to be here at such a temple of art as MGM."

The fancy sedan was carried by everyone, and when Li Zhenyu came up, he started with a set of familiar greetings.

Say hello to each other first and express your goodwill to each other.

After another round of standardized business flattery, everyone can start a formal conversation in a pleasant atmosphere.

"Here's the script you asked for."

She pushed the script in front of him, and the confidence in her tone infected him.

"Lee, I will submit the script to the department for cross-examination. If it passes their review, we can move on to the next step."

"Actually, seeing you I want to ask you another question."

"Whatever it is, you can tell me."

“Even if your script is approved, where will MGM find the money to shoot it?”

A broken ship still has three-tenths of nails left, but MGM is full of holes, and the remaining "nails" were pulled out by itself and exchanged for money.

If MGM cannot get rid of its debts as soon as possible, it will eventually face bankruptcy reorganization.

“I can lend it to the company.”

MGM has no money, but he does!

Li Zhenyu felt that he could still afford the funds needed to film "The Hobbit".

"you."

Stephen didn't expect that the problem that gave him a headache would be solved so easily by the other party.

It’s nice to have money…

The biggest problem has been solved, and Stephen said he would be notified as soon as there is news.
