Ramada Burbank.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, many people arrived one after another outside the brightly lit hotel and were brought into the hotel by the waiter with a senior service attitude. Even the Ramada branch manager in Burbank came out to greet the crew.

Here is Herac who set the finale of "Guess Who Comes to Have Dinner" at this Ramada Burbank branch with more than a dozen hotels in North America.

In addition to the crew members who arrived, there were other staff from Lianmei Film Company, who were surprised by the reception from the manager of Ramada Burbank branch.

They found that the hotel's hospitality was a high-end service, which was a hospitality they could not enjoy before.

Looking at the surprised expression on the staff's face, Herac, who had just arrived outside the hotel, raised his mouth with some pleasure.

"Senior Service, Chairman, are you too nice to some employees?"

Jin Jianfu pushed his glasses, his tone was very dissatisfied.

She felt that this was a waste of resources. She had to let all the employees attend the movie completion banquet. In her opinion, as long as some people came to participate.

After all, Lianmei Film Company has not yet cleaned up and reorganized it. There are several borers inside, which makes her feel very disgusted by seeing the financial loopholes in the past. Keeping these people will only harm the funds in the company.

"That's what I want."

Herak's mouth raised, looking at the greedy and excited expression on the faces of some employees, his eyes saw paparazzi squatting on both sides holding cameras to take pictures, showing a strange smile.

The final banquet of "Guess Who Comes to Have Dinner" is not only to reward the crew of the hard-earned crew, but to give outsiders the news that he, the new chairman, is not losing money to them.

Jin Jianfu listened to Herac's words and curled his lips, looking dissatisfied.

Herak withdrew his gaze from looking at the paparazzi, his eyes were cold, and he said lightly: "After the launch of "007: Thunderbolt Bomb", we will clean up and reorganize the company!"

Jin Jianfu's body was shocked. He knew that Herac had changed his mind clearly. His dissatisfied expression faded away. He quickly followed Herac in high heels.

The arrival of the two made the manager of the Ramada hotel come forward to entertain himself, which surprised the paparazzi who were taking pictures.

From the beginning to now, although the manager of the Ramada branch hotel has been entertaining employees of Lianmei Film Company like a waiter, he did not come forward to entertain him in person. This time he took the initiative to entertain a young man, which made them change their minds.

Herac, no matter what the paparazzi thinks, he naturally entered the hotel under the guidance of the manager.

The reason why the finale banquet was arranged here is that in addition to being close to the headquarters of Lianmei Film Company, it is mainly because Ramada Hotel has shares in Sterlingford.

This 11-year-old Ramada Hotel was founded by several investors in 1954. Sterlingford participated in it and held 7% of the equity of Ramada Hotel. As an investor, he was waiting to collect money.

After 11 years of development, Ramada Hotel has opened dozens of stores in North America and is one of the very successful hotel companies.

As Sterlingford's son, Herak asked to hold a final banquet in Ramada, Burbank, and was naturally welcomed by the board of directors and received high-level service.

Not long after Herac went in, and not long after he left the final promotion, Stanley Kremer, Catherine Hepburn and Sidney Portier arrived outside the hotel one after another.

Sidney Portier and Catherine Hepburn, the best actor and actress, were cheered by enthusiastically by fans and paparazzi awaiting them.

After the three of them entered, the uninformed paparazzi and movie fans found that Spencer Qusey, whom they were mainly waiting for, did not appear at the scene, which gave the paparazzi a lot of questions. They wanted to go in, but they could not enter without an invitation.

Walking into Ramada Hotel, the spacious private room prepared for the final banquet of "Guess Who Comes to Have Dinner" was filled with all kinds of food and wine, and the dazzling lights made many people feel luxurious.

After everyone arrived, with Herak's announcement, the final banquet officially began. A group of people were eating and chatting with people they knew.

Herac watched everyone's interaction without stepping forward, walked to another small private room with Jin Jianfu, and met the author of "Peanut Comics": Charles Schultz.

In the private room, a fat middle-aged white man wearing glasses was drinking red wine comfortably. Seeing that Herac only ate vegetables and did not drink alcohol, he couldn't help but say, "Don't drink red wine."

Herac shook his head, then shrugged, "I'm still at the age of drinking."

Charles Schultz was stunned for a moment, looking at his 1.78-meter-high face, not very young. No matter how he looked at him, he should be of the age group suitable for drinking.

"I'm only 15 years old, Mr. Charles Schultz."

Charles Schultz was slightly surprised by the age he had been writing. He rarely reads reports about Herac until Kim Jianfu found him that he knew that United American Film Company had changed a new owner again.

Since the other party wants to purchase his comic adaptation rights, he will naturally know the relationship between Letu Holdings and Lianmei Film Company through media reports and searches.

"Hahaha, what a capable little guy..."

Charles Schultz did not underestimate Herac's age group at all. Just like the "Peanut Comic" he created, he was smart and easy-going. After laughing, he stopped talking about it. He changed the topic and chatted with Herac for a while, and went straight to the topic: "Take me the contract."

Herak knew what he was talking about, and took the proposed contract from Jin Jianfu and handed it over to Charles Schultz.

When he opened the contract, Charles Schultz saw the price that Jin Jianfu gave him last time.

Herak and Jin Jianfu looked at each other and quietly waited for Charles Schultz to see the entire contract.

The other party was invited to attend the final banquet, and obviously sold the adaptation rights of "Peanut Comics" to him. Before Charles Schultz was invited, Herac asked Jin Jianfu to give him a price report, hoping that the other party could agree to sell the film and television adaptation rights of "Peanut Comics" to him.

"Peanut Comics" is one of the hottest comics at the moment. The stories published every time are centered on new ideas and focus on reflecting the transformation of the social environment in contemporary America, expressing Charles Schultz's thoughts on the development of contemporary society. It is this comic style charm that has been loved by the public.

Among them, outstanding characters such as the protagonists Charlie Brown and Snoopy are even more popular. In the original time and space, these two characters are the most well-known.

Herak acquired the film and television adaptation rights and toy adaptation rights of "Peanut Comics" in order to make him become popular in North America and international like MGM's "Cat and Mouse" and Disney's "Mickey Mouse".

No movies released by MGM in the 1960s were successful, and there were no movies in 1965. They only relied on the popularity of the "Cat and Mouse" animation to obtain financial income.

The benefits that "Cat and Mouse" brings to MGM every year make Herac jealous, but because he missed the period when he obtained the copyright of "Cat and Mouse" animation in 1961, he could only give up the idea of ​​trying to compete.

In North America, if there are any comics that can become an animated and become internationally famous, in addition to the later generations of "Transformers", Snoopy in "Peanut Comics" is the most suitable, so Herac took a fancy to the adaptation potential of "Peanut Comics".

In that contract, Charles Schultz will authorize the film and television adaptation rights and toy adaptation rights of "Peanut Comics" to Lianmei Film Company, and in the future, the copyright of the film and television adaptation rights of "Peanut Comics" will belong to Lianmei

United Film Company will pay Charles Schultz $1 million in adaptation rights and receive a 3% profit share.

After reading the contract, Charles Schultz asked: "I want a 6% profit share."

Herak shook his head and said in refusal: "Mr. Charles Schultz, the share of revenue is a bit high. Although the comics are popular with many people, we don't know whether they can succeed when they have not been adapted into an animation or played on TV."

Charles Schultz raised his eyebrows, obviously knowing what Herac meant, and thought for a while and took a step back: "Since that's the case, the revenue share ratio will be 3%. Once his sales volume exceeds $9 million, you should give me a 5% share ratio."

Herak agreed to his request when he saw that the price quoted by Charles Schultz was within his acceptable limits. "Mr. Charles Schultz, I wish us a happy cooperation."

With the authorization and approval of Charles Schultz, the contract was completed six days later. United States Film Company also obtained the permanent adaptation rights of "Peanut Comics". If there is no filming within ten years, the adaptation rights will be returned to Charles Schultz.

Unless Herac gives up halfway through, his adaptation rights will return to Charles Schultz in advance.

The three of them had a full meal in the private room, and after the final banquet ended, they each left the Ramada Hotel.

At this time, Terry Semer also began to promote "007: Thunderbolt Bullet" and the American drama "Mission: Impossible".
Chapter completed!
