Mela is very efficient!
About two hours later, she brought back the message.

"The Cage of the Nightingale" is a musical film created in 1944 and released in 1945.

Noel Noel is the lead actress in this film.

The copyright to this film is now owned by a film company called SNEG (an abbreviation; my French isn't good enough to translate the company's name).

This company was very famous in France in the mid-20th century.

but now……

Two words: Just so-so!
"They are looking to sell it, but no one is willing to take it over at the moment."

If the sale fails, they will most likely file for bankruptcy.

So, what are your thoughts?

“I just spoke with Clay on the phone, and she also helped me find out what was going on.”

Her advice to me was... to acquire it!

"Acquisition?"

"SNEG's operating condition is not good, but its debt is not particularly serious."

The current owners are unwilling to continue investing in the film industry… but they don't have many high-quality assets, and the asking price is higher than the market price. Therefore, they haven't found a suitable buyer. Acquiring them now would cost around five million euros. Of course, you could wait for a bankruptcy auction… but that's a bit of a shame.”

"pity?"

"Clay said that you will definitely enter this industry in the future."

You need a shell to run some works. SNEG may not be very famous, but it has a deep foundation.

I also think you could give it a try.

Liu Jin tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

Yes, having such a company as a cover would make things much easier for him.

"Wait a moment."

Liu Jin hung up the phone.

He then dialed Alizee's number.

She has already set off and just arrived in America.

When she received Liu Jin's call, Alizee was a little surprised and asked with a smile, "Liu Jin, you missed me, didn't you?"

"Of course, I want to die!"

Alizee burst into cheerful laughter.

"Alright, what do you want to say? Speak up."

Have you heard of SNEG Film Company?

"no!"

Alizee answered very decisively.

"I want to acquire a company that was founded in the last century and has a history of eighty or ninety years!"

"Uh, I've never heard of that..."

"But if you want to acquire it, then go ahead and acquire it. If you're short of money, I can come up with 20 million euros."

"Haha, you're such a little rich girl."

Liu Jin felt a warmth in his heart.

He then took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, little rich girl, I'm not asking you for money."

Here's the thing: I want to acquire this company, but I don't want anyone to know that it's me who's acquiring it, do you understand?

Alizee paused for a moment, then said softly, "You want to acquire it in my name?"

"Yes!"

"Sure, you're bringing me money, why should I refuse?"

"Aren't you afraid I'll rip you off?"

"Hehe, if you cheat me, I'll make you support me."

Upon hearing this, Liu Jin fell silent.

After a moment, he said, "Okay!"

"I'll have Marissa contact you. If you need anything from me, just tell her."

Hehe, I have to go now, I have to get busy.

Alizee hung up the phone.

Liu Jin, holding his phone, suddenly laughed.

He immediately called Joannup and learned that he had already returned to London.

"Professor, is there a problem with using the Green Sisters Fund to acquire a French film company?"

Joan P asked, "Which company?"

“SNEG”.

"That company seems to be looking to be acquired... I'll investigate and give you an acquisition plan as soon as possible."

"Then I'll have to do it for you!"

"Haha, Amos, you're the boss now, no need to be so polite."

"Then you're still my teacher."

Joan chuckled twice on the phone before hanging up.

Liu Jin quickly typed a series of names into the document.

The Chorus

"hunting"

Manchester by the Sea

The Bélier Family

I Am Legend

……

This collection of short stories has no particular pattern.

He writes whatever comes to mind, and Liu Jin doesn't care about the sales of this collection of short stories.

Today, there's a saying in the French book market: the name "Amos" guarantees sales of 500,000 copies...

I have no intention of making any money from novels. It's just for fun!
Once I've compiled a collection of some excellent movies for you, let's see what your film companies do then.

In the end, won't they still have to give me money?
Okay, that's five stories for the first episode. I'll continue writing as I think of more later.

The reason I chose "I Am Legend" is simply because I don't like a certain hater.

If "The Pursuit of Happyness" hadn't been based on Chris Gardner's true story, Liu Jin would definitely have snapped it up first.

The other person is Black!
Even if Liu Jin gets the adaptation rights, he can't beat Black Hearts Together.

So there's no need to fight over it...

By stealing "I Am Legend," they've at least cut off one-fifth of the luck of a certain scoundrel.

That's it!

……

There are reasons why I chose to write "Amos's Fantastic Journey" instead of "Assassin's Creed".

Assassin's Creed has an extremely large and complex underlying world view.

Liu Jin has not yet figured things out.

You can play the game as you like.

But novels...

Words cannot be written so casually.

It requires some basic support.

Moreover, the Ezio Trilogy is set in the Renaissance era.

To be honest, Liu Jin is not very familiar with the Renaissance era, and he needs to do more sorting and organization.

Therefore, during the process of sorting out the information, he can write something else.

He will be heading to America in August, where the promotional campaigns for *Life Is Beautiful* and *Killing the Emperor* will last at least a month, or even longer. Once the promotions are over and things are settled, he will then focus all his efforts on completing the *Ezio Trilogy*.

Liu Jin has already made up his mind!
He will write this novel in French.

Of course, the North American market is also very large, but to be honest, it's not certain whether Americans can understand the Renaissance era.

The best way is to publish it in Europe in 06.

The game was completed in 07.

In 08, once the Assassin's Creed game became popular in North America, the novels would be released there, and they would definitely be a huge hit.

Take your time, take your time!
Balces is right; sometimes, a little patience is needed.

……

The following day, Marissa appeared at the Gruson Estate.

She looks very tired!

Thinking about it, it makes sense.

I just flew to America, and then flew back to France.

Then fly from Paris to Toulouse, and then to Château de Gruysand.

This intensity...

To be honest, Marissa's abilities are far inferior to those of Alizee's previous manager, Hansen.

But her strength lies in her loyalty.

He always put Alizee first and considered Alizee's needs in everything he did.

Although my abilities are lacking, it doesn't matter anymore.

With the Toulouse National Conservatory of Music as her backer and Liu Jin's help, Alizée's connections are no less than Hansen's.

Upon seeing Marissa, Liu Jin was reminded of Hansen.

"What is Christian Ulf Hansen busy with?"

Marissa said, "He's busy with his favorite Teitur concert and contracts."

"Teitur is having a concert?"

Liu Jin was a little surprised.

"I remember he only released one album, and he dared to hold a concert?"

"Haha, yes, I was surprised too... But I heard that Teitur secretly signed contracts for over 300 concerts with other artists from other companies, which conflicted with his company's contract. Hansen is in a real bind right now, having to discuss the contract issue with his company while also dealing with the problem of those 300+ concerts."

The company is extremely dissatisfied with Hansen!

"That's really pitiful."

Liu Jin thought for a moment, and then a brilliant idea suddenly flashed in his mind.

"How's Alizée's third album coming along?"

“She wrote six poems herself, and you gave him three more. There are still one or two short.”

When will the recording take place?

"next year!"

It’s a bit too late.

but……

Liu Jin asked, "How many days are you staying here?"

"As you have instructed, Ali said I should follow your orders."

"Okay, leave Ali's identity information here, and then wait for me for three days."

I have two songs for Ali; please take them to her. It would be best if she could perform them at the concert.

"Hmm, that would mean too many new songs, which wouldn't be good for future album releases."

“Tell her that of the three songs I gave her, she can choose just one… These two songs are actually quite suitable for her.”

"That should be fine!"

Marissa was very clear about Liu Jin's place in Alizee's heart.

What artist would do something like kicking their own manager to work like a slave for someone else?

Small-time agents have no human rights!
However, since it's an Amos product, there shouldn't be any major issues.

Marissa readily agreed.
