I am a writer

Chapter 50 Million or Ten Million? 【Second watch for recommendation】

Yang Yang didn't know when he backed out. He watched the four chatting enthusiastically, but he couldn't get in his mouth at all.

As everyone knows, this is exactly Qin Chuan's strategy.

Try to use the thinking of online novels to assist the three screenwriters, so that they can recognize the plot of the novel from their hearts.

The closer the movie script and novel are combined, the more difficult it is to separate them!
After tasting dragon liver and phoenix gallbladder, it will be difficult to swallow ordinary food.

After all, a novel is just a novel, with only a few words at best.

These screenwriters need to work together to expand and refine.

All problems can be solved by everyone performing their duties.

"Xiao Yang, how is the adaptation of the novel going?" Liu Daoyong asked with concern, "If the price is reasonable and the conditions are easy, then sign the contract as soon as possible, so as not to have long nights and dreams."

For such a large crew, many staff members need to spend money on agreements signed, venues rented, and hotels booked.

Doing nothing and slipping away millions of dollars in a day.

And the company has already made a final decision, and "Erlang Shen" will be released in one and a half years.

At the beginning, the schedule was announced for two years, but half a year has passed, and the filming has not yet started.

If it continues to drag on, it will not be able to catch up with the Spring Festival stalls!
Flame Pictures has great expectations for this movie, and put it in the extremely competitive Spring Festival schedule, in order to defeat the rest of the competitors.

The summer file is the highlight of the Mythology Movie Universe, and it is also the first gathering of immortals——"Fengshen Bang"!
The origin movie of Erlang Shen Yang Jian must be released before "Fengshen Bang", so as to achieve good results.

In the first half of the year, except for the Spring Festival, the market for other schedules is not big enough.

Since it is the last trump card before the assembly, it naturally has to play a greater role.

Liu Daoyong is under a lot of pressure. The box office of "Nezha Naohai" is so high that it is almost sprinting towards the box office record in film history. If the box office of "Er Lang Shen" is too poor, his position in the flame film industry will be greatly affected, and his income will also be reduced. will be much lower.

Basically, it doesn't mess around, "Erlang Shen" hits 30 billion or even 40 billion box office and it is very stable!

As Liu Daoyong's assistant for two years, Yang Yang knows what the boss thinks: "Qin Chuan is a newcomer writer, if we promise to give him a proper promotional resource, the price and other things will be much easier."

"It's best to get it done within a week. During today's meeting, the general manager has repeatedly supervised and even criticized by name."

Liu Daoyong has never been so embarrassed in decades!

I don't know how others are making jokes and ridicule behind their backs.

The matter of the script cannot be delayed any longer!
Yang Yang nodded quickly, "Teacher Qin is discussing the plot with Teacher Xu and the others. Shall I invite him over now?"

"Go."

Liu Daoyong's previous film as a producer had a box office of only one billion yuan, and now this "Erlang Shen" must not lose.

Qin Chuan knew that what the screenwriters wanted was an image of Erlang God who changed his fate against the sky and struggled endlessly, and some fragments of these can be found in "Life Grows, Hates Water and Changdong".

They need to combine it organically.

"Teacher Qin, please sit down. Would you like something to drink?" Liu Daoyong didn't neglect Qin Chuan because he was a young newcomer writer, and there was no arrogance or contempt in his attitude.

Qin Chuan repeatedly waved his hands and said, "No, no, I just drank two cups of tea in the conference room."

There is not much information about Liu's production on the Internet. I only know that this person has made several profitable movies. He only jumped to join Lie Yan last year and became a senior producer.

Most of the time, it is the boss or investor of the film and television company who signs the producer in the film.

Flame Pictures, on the contrary, gave the producers enough power.

They are responsible for all aspects of script planning, preliminary preparation, crew, camera equipment preparation and rental, cost accounting, post-production and even distribution. They are the masters of the crew!

Liu Daoyong said with a smile: "The first person who noticed Mr. Qin's novel was actually Lin Xin. After he read it, he recommended it to several of our screenwriters. After thinking about it, Lao Xu and the others thought that your novel contained Part of the plot of the movie overlaps with what our movie wants, so I tried every means to get your contact information."

"When I first saw the news, my first reaction was a liar! How could Lie Flame Pictures find me? There is no such possibility."

Qin Chuan flattered him appropriately, and he didn't need money to talk about the scene.

"Your book is really good, but the main story line is a bit inappropriate for the plot. We are going to buy the film adaptation rights of the entire book, but we will only choose a small part of it. Our previous quotation was 500 million, and we only bought the film adaptation rights , how about 800 million now?"

"Producer Liu, I want to know exactly whether you bought the book "Life Grows and Hates Water Changdong" for the movie "Er Lang Shen" or this series of movies? The concept is different."

Qin Chuan is very cautious, this issue has a lot to do with it.

"Of course it is this series of movies. Although there is not much content that can be used. We don't know the development of the subsequent plot of your novel for the time being. It would be best if it can be used. It doesn't matter if you don't."

"Then I think we should sign one film at a time, which is good for both of us."

However, Liu Daoyong did not agree, and he would not buy the entire novel at once. If the "Er Lang Shen" movie becomes popular and wants to make a sequel, he does not know how much he will have to pay to buy the copyright.

You must have a long-term vision!
He didn't expect the newcomer's appetite to be so huge, "Well, let's take the trilogy as the basis for the time being. Regardless of whether we can make a series of three works, the authorization fee will be calculated according to this. The film adaptation fee is 300 million for each film, and the combined fee is 900 million. How about [-] million?"

"The original price we talked about was 500 million for one film. Even if three films are discounted, it shouldn't be too little."

"Our production funds are really tight. The salaries of the leading actors and directors are not high, and there are not many available funds. To make this kind of mythological drama well, the costumes, makeup, props, and sets are very expensive, and the special effects are even more expensive. Tens of millions per second, the investment is almost used up. There is a reason why you are expensive, and you can only endure it for the quality, we can’t embezzle the funds for post-production, right?”

Qin Chuan wanted a box office dividend, even if it was 1%.

Following Liu Daoyong's words: "If the investment is really tight, I can convert the copyright transfer fee into investment. I wonder if Producer Liu will agree?"

"It's not whether I agree or not. The film's investors have already been determined, and I can't change them. To introduce new investors, the company's boss and several other investors must agree."

Who doesn't want to get box office dividends?

This kind of movie that is destined to sell well, the main creators will not get any dividends.

If it can be solved with salary, try to give it as much as possible.

If Qin Chuan agreed, he would be a millionaire.

But obviously there is a chance to become a multi-millionaire, why choose a millionaire?
So he took a step back and said: "I can make some concessions on the copyright fee, but you need to meet some simple terms of mine."

Don't ask for a high transfer fee of 1500 million in total for the trilogy, take a step back and change some of the things you value.
