Game of Thrones

"Dinner's ready."

Rem called out coldly, but everyone moved quickly.

Because there were two more people, she was a little slower in cooking.

Of course... it's also because I was too tired last night.

The master is a real beast.

And they have absolutely no sense of compassion.

She couldn't bear to see her sister Ram suffer, so she bravely sacrificed herself, but she was still no match for her master.

This left both Oni sisters feeling powerless.

They are Oni, yet they are no match for humans!

"Wow, Rem's breakfast is really good, authentic Chinese food."

Jeanne was quite knowledgeable, hence her comment.

Bayonetta had been sealed away for five hundred years and was somewhat ignorant about common sense, so she remained silent and simply ate.

"Of course, noodles are a food you'll never get tired of."

Before Li Chen transmigrated, he was a southerner, but he still loved eating noodles, and of course, rice noodles too.

Our dietary habits, formed over thousands of years, are already etched into our genes.

For a moment, only the sound of slurping noodles remained.

After finishing breakfast, Bayonetta stood up and said, "Let's go for a walk first."

"Don't do anything reckless."

Li Chen simply offered a reminder.

Psylocke glanced at her enviously, not because she envied her freedom, but Bayonetta's proportions were too exaggerated. The two were about the same height, but Bayonetta's legs looked twice as long as hers.

This is the visual impact of an eleven-headed figure.

Everyone felt that Bayonetta's legs were longer than their lives...

The already tall Bayonetta, in her high heels, walked to the garage as if she were on a catwalk.

Jeanne ate a couple of bites quickly and followed.

Not long after, the roar of Arcee's engine came from the garage, and two tall, Longlegs men rode away on their motorcycle.

Li Chen didn't go out with them today; instead, he went to the company.

Because the cooperation agreements with Paramount and Lionsgate have already been reached.

Goodbye, Master.

Ram, Rem, and the others stood by to see them off.

With maids seeing him off and waiting for him to come home every day, how could he possibly have the mind to go out?

Li Qianhuan drove him to the company and then followed him upstairs.

Lorna Dane had arrived long ago, dressed in business attire, and looked increasingly mature.

She also looks much fuller.

She was so thin before that Li Chen even suspected Magneto wasn't feeding her.

"Harry is waiting for you."

Lorna Dane is already at work.

She discovered that once she stopped caring about her Mutants identity, she was able to integrate into the lives of normal people.

Why couldn't she do it before? Because she didn't have a proper job...

In America, if you want a stable job, you first need a stable place to live.

Conversely, if you want a stable place to live, you must first have a stable job so that you can afford to find a place to live.

This creates a perfect cycle.

This is why homeless people in America cannot escape poverty.

In this situation, unless someone is willing to lend them a hand, provide them with housing, or introduce them to jobs.

But this is clearly impossible.

Therefore, in the America, once someone becomes homeless, they are essentially sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve.

While Lorna Dane wasn't in such a terrible situation before, she wasn't much better off.

Magneto wasn't particularly interested in her either.

Only now that things have settled down does she feel that a normal life isn't so bad.

Li Chen walked into the office, where Harry Sloan was already waiting for him.

"Boss."

Harry Sloan looks noticeably balder, but he seems to be in better spirits than before.

He's not afraid of going bald, he's only afraid of losing his job.

Given MGM's past practices, he would soon be replaced.

And now? All we need to do is follow in Li Chen's footsteps.

Following in the footsteps of successful people is a well-known Hollywood adage.

"How's it going?"

"It's been agreed that the three of us will jointly acquire a TV station that's about to go bankrupt. This will give us the necessary qualifications, and it'll be much faster than starting from scratch ourselves."

"Then change the TV station's icon to the new one and start broadcasting our content..."

Harry Sloan began to speak.

Neither Starlight Pictures, Paramount, nor Lionsgate have any media conglomerates behind them.

That's why I wanted to do it myself.

That means we need to be fast; we can't afford to be slow.

"Boss, however, if both of them want to have live-action dramas, relying solely on animated series will be limiting."

Harry Sloan said, "The new network should be more diverse and not limited to animation."

"That's right."

Li Chen nodded.

The audience for animation is ultimately limited; a pay channel that only broadcasts animation programs won't have a large audience.

"Are the three of us collaborating to film a live-action drama series?"

"Yes."

Harry Sloan nodded, his eyes full of anticipation. "Boss, they know you have a Midas touch, so they included this request."

Li Chen is too young, and it is precisely because of his youth that other people in Hollywood are ensuring that he will continue to succeed until the day his inspiration runs dry.

Li Chen is not yet a director or producer; he is the owner of a film and television company. This talent is more important than anything else.

Therefore, Hollywood chose to believe him.

After all, Li Chen succeeded in every aspect.

Li Chen then pondered for a moment.

This means we have to consider viewership ratings.

Otherwise, they'll ruin their own reputation.

This actually reminded him of a TV series.

Do you know Game of Thrones?

"Ha?"

Harry Sloan looked completely bewildered.

"Oh, it's A Song of Ice and Fire."

Li Chen then realized what was going on. "We'll get the TV adaptation rights, and we'll call it 'Game of Thrones'."

"A Song of Ice and Fire, that's a George R. R. Martin novel, right? This is definitely a good project."

Harry Sloan immediately perked up.

This is a wildly popular novel from America, so it's definitely a good project.

Copyright negotiations began a long time ago.

They just couldn't reach an agreement.

Because this epic fantasy novel clearly requires a lot of money to film.

Hollywood is actually a bit afraid of fantasy blockbusters.

The most famous example is the Lord of the Lord of the Rings series from the early 2000s. At that time, Peter Jackson begged and pleaded with Hollywood executives, and almost all of them thought that this Hollywood film could not be adapted.

First, the cost is too high; second, it's easy to fail, and if it fails, it will result in huge losses. For conservative Hollywood, this is not a good project.

Fortunately, it was successful in the end.

A Song of Ice and Fire is undoubtedly another the Lord of the Rings series.

Moreover, this time it's being adapted into a TV series, which means the investment will be even greater.

But with the success of the Lord of the Rings, Harry Sloan had no hesitation.

Audiences don't care if someone is making films; what they care about is whether the novel can be adapted well.

If it's well-made, audiences all over the world will rave about it.

"My requirements are that there must be a large investment, a large-scale production, a high level of detail, and excellent production quality."

Li Chen spoke first.
