I really don't want to eat with my face

Chapter 7 Value

"Dad, you want to meet him in person?" Lin Weixi was quite surprised. In her memory, her father had never been so enthusiastic.

Father Lin Yimou is a well-known Ivy League in the film and television industry, and he never lacks good scripts. Why did he get such a big reaction after watching "Everything Is Good"?

Is "Everything is Good" a rare masterpiece?

"I accept such a good script. I went to see him first to see if I can buy it out directly, and second, if he wants to cooperate in depth, I have to see how he is." Lin Yimou smiled slightly and opened the hall. Coats and hats were taken down from the hangers.

"He is quite talented and has deep insights into science fiction literature." Lin Weixi went to put on his shoes, and at the same time made a phone call to Su Xiaozhou.

In Lu Changming's rented room, the oily smoke finally dissipated, but he was also sloppy and had to take a bath.

Only halfway through the wash, Su Xiaozhou knocked on the door excitedly: "Obviously, hurry up, Weixi's father wants to see you."

"What?" Lu Changming rubbed his hands for a moment, showing surprise, and then understood and confident.

As expected of an excellent script in a parallel world, "Everything is Good" has caught the eyes of Director Lin Da!
"Okay, you call a car first, and I'll finish washing right away." Lu Changming didn't ink any ink marks, and then he went out.

The two siblings took a taxi and went to the coffee shop.

It was already past seven o'clock in the evening, but for the bustling city center, this is the busiest time.

Walking into the coffee shop, Lu Changming saw Lin Weixi at a glance.

Still in that corner, Lin Weixi was sitting by the window, and next to her was a middle-aged man in black casual clothes.

The middle-aged man wears rimless glasses, has a two-circle mustache, and has a slightly fat body, but his hair and clothes are meticulously taken care of. He is a very temperamental uncle.

"Weixi, is this your dad? I think I've seen it on TV." Su Xiaozhou spoke first. She is more lively and familiar, but not restrained.

"Hello, both of you." Lin Yimou smiled kindly, his eyes locked on Lu Changming, and at the same time he reached out and moved the hat on the table to the side.

"Hello, Mr. Lin." Lu Changming was not restrained, but he was very respectful in his heart. The Ivy League director in front of him was not an ordinary person.

Compared with him, the Wang Xiaoli who wanted to sleep with her before was just a rotten fish.

"Mr. Lu, please sit down." Lin Yimou was very kind, while his daughter Lin Weixi took the initiative to order two cappuccinos with sugar.

After Lu Changming and Su Xiaozhou sat down, Lin Weixi said, "Zhouzhou, let's go shopping and buy some clothes."

"Ah? Oh." Su Xiaozhou realized that it was inconvenient for him to stay here and disturb the man's business.

She hurriedly went shopping with Lin Weixi.

As soon as the two women left, Lu Changming spoke first to show politeness: "Mr. Lin, what do you think of "Everything is Fine"?"

Lin Yimou didn't speak immediately, he carefully looked at the young man in front of him, and had to admit that Lu Changming was really handsome.

It's rare to see such a handsome young man with such talent.

"I'll call you Xiao Lu. I have two questions I want to ask you. I hope you can answer them." Lin Yimou cut to the point. A great director like him would not waste time.

"Excuse me."

"First, do you want to sell the script, or do you want to be a director?" Lin Yimou asked with a smile, making people feel very easy-going and majestic.

"I want to be a director myself." Lu Changming already knew Lin Yimou's thoughts, and Lin Yimou probably wanted to buy out "Everything Is Good", so that he would own all the copyrights, so he didn't need to waste words with him.

"That's it." Lin Yimou was somewhat disappointed, but he didn't show it. Instead, he asked the next question, "Second question, I think it is difficult to choose the role of heroine in the play. If you choose the wrong one, it may ruin a play. , do you have a suitable candidate?"

The heroine of "Everything is Fine" is Su Mingyu, a girl who was beaten, scolded and even abused by her mother since she was a child.She grew up in a distorted family, full of hatred for the family, and has a strong personality, which is not something that any star can play.

"To be honest, I don't pay much attention to actors. Mr. Lin is a famous director, so you should be able to choose a suitable role." Lu Changming replied, he didn't refuse, but he really didn't pay attention to celebrities, and couldn't give good advice.

Lin Yimou pondered, tapped his fingers on the chair a few times, and then proposed: "What do you think of Yang Yao? She is very popular and has countless fans. With her participation, she can basically pay back her capital."

Yang Yao?

Lu Changming searched in his mind, and a beautiful melon-seeded face appeared in front of his eyes. He was not stained with mortals and did not eat fireworks. He was a fairy in ancient costume dramas.

"I'm afraid it's not suitable." Lu Changming shook his head directly. It's funny to think about Su Mingyu being played by a fairy in ancient costume.

"What about Guan Xiao?" With a smile hidden in the corner of his eyes, Lin Yimou recommended another big star.

Guan Xiao is also very beautiful, white and tender, she is a frequent guest in youth idol dramas, and the number of fans is also amazing.

But Lu Changming still shook his head: "None of them are suitable, let's not talk about the acting skills. "Everything is Good" is a family ethics drama. The actors must have vitality, and it is good to watch. Too beautiful will be against harmony."

Lin Yimou clapped his hands and said with a smile, "You are very reasonable. I thought a young guy like you would go after a big female celebrity."

As he spoke, he took a sip of his bitter latte and said, "The style of "Everything Is Good" is full of life. I'm really afraid that you will sell it to others, and then invite a bunch of young masters and young ladies to perform it."

He deliberately tested Lu Changming just now.

If Lu Changming pursues popular female stars, it means that he can only write scripts and has no own opinions on film and television. Such a person is suitable for coding behind the scenes, and definitely cannot be a director on the front stage.

"It turned out that Mr. Lin was trying to test me on purpose, so I said that you are like those vulgar directors, you only pursue big traffic." Lu Changming smiled back, "A famous director is a famous director."

The two praised each other a wave, deepening the revolutionary friendship.

Lin Yimou laughed, stood up and stretched out his hand: "Young man, my "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" has finished, and the next one will be "Everything Is Good". I will let the people in the company sign a contract with you. You are the screenwriter, you can propose You also have some decision-making power in terms of guidance and selection. As for the price, how much do you want?"

In fact, Lu Changming wants to be a director, but he knows that he can't become a big fat man with one bite. "Everything is Good" is his first step. Being a screenwriter on-site guidance and casting is already very meaningful.

"I'm more greedy. I expected that "Everything is Good" will be popular all over the country, so I ask for a higher price." Lu Changming is not polite. Although he is a newcomer, "Everything is Good" is not a "new work", and he cannot pay 10,000+ or ​​even Tens of thousands of newcomers' price to sell "Everything is Good",
Lin Yimou joked: "1000 million?"

1000 million is already the price of a gold medal screenwriter, and only a few people in the industry can achieve it.

According to the current market situation, screenwriters with 10,000+ episodes are rare, and the 46 episodes of "Everything Is Good" are worth several million in total.

"1000 million is very much. In fact, 100 million is a lot for me as a newcomer. I am very grateful to Mr. Lin for his attention, but as far as "Everything Is Good" is concerned, it is really worth 1000 million." Lu Changming laughed. This is his estimate based on the achievements of "Everything is Good" in the parallel world, which is actually less.

Lin Yimou's eyes twitched, you kid just climbed up with a bamboo pole.

An unknown novice dares to regard himself as a gold medal screenwriter.

"Young man, self-confidence is a good thing, but you have to know it. How can "Everything Is Good" be worth 1000 million?" Lin Yimou started beating, and had to sharpen the spirit of the young man.

"As long as Director Lin produces the effect I expected, I think "Everything is Good" will break 2 in the ratings of at least three TV stations, rank in the top three in the ratings of ten TV stations, and the number of online broadcasts in a single day will exceed 1000 million. It is worth [-] million capital." Lu Changming mentioned three achievements, which have been achieved or even surpassed in the parallel world.

He believes that with Lin Yimou's ability, "Everything is Good" can achieve the above achievements.

Lin Yimou was really surprised. The ratings of three TV stations broke 2, the ratings of ten TV stations ranked in the top three, and the number of online broadcasts in a single day exceeded [-] million. Such results have never appeared, even in the past few years. The "Ode to Sorrow" is also far behind.

Lu Changming spoke loudly.

"Boy, it's not me hitting you. If "Everything Is Good" is really so good, it is indeed worth 1000 million, and I am willing to give you 1000 million. But for now, I can only give you 200 million at most." Lin Yimou Shaking his head, he gave his own psychological price.

200 million is already a huge amount of money for a newcomer, with an average of nearly [-] per episode, and it is difficult for senior screenwriters to get it.

"No problem, but next time we cooperate, Mr. Lin will definitely give me more than this price."

"Then wait and see."
