Peninsula Asteroid

Chapter 1013 What a pity

After just a few minutes of reading the script, Chi Jingyuan has already lost some interest.

At present, Netflix has no power and weight in the Peninsula, and TV stations still occupy most of the market, which has led to Netflix's development being restricted everywhere, and it can only follow behind a few TV stations.

I heard from Park Jae-hyun that they are still in a stage of relatively chaotic development routes. They want to build relationships with TV stations to purchase broadcasting rights, and they also want to prepare to shoot their own self-made dramas.

If it were Chi Jingyuan, the latter would be a better way out.

However, the script that Li Zhixi gave him would be a third-tier production that first-tier stars would not even watch if it was placed on a serious TV station. Even so, it could be treated so carefully by Li Zhixi and Netflix as "the first self-made drama to create the Peninsula market". I don't know if they really don't have any resources for excellent scripts, or if their own vision is problematic.

Anyway, after reading this script, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but look down on Li Zhixi and even Peninsula Netflix... Is this the script and production you want to open up the market?

He doesn't lack dramas to shoot now, and no matter how you look at it, it's completely thankless to cooperate with them.

However...

If the other party is willing to give an absolute premium condition and express enough attention, he can consider it.

Because of the reality of limited development, Netflix now has to give the best conditions at a premium. Bong Joon-ho directly invested 50 million US dollars and gave great rights in the crew.

This also proves that although Netflix is ​​not acclimatized, it is still rich. Although Ji Jingyuan admits that he is not as important as Bong Joon-ho, as the most attractive young male actor at present, if you want to invite him to act, it is definitely not enough to just give him a premium salary.

Ji Jingyuan is reading the script, and Li Zhixi continues to introduce confidently; "We hope that Jingyuanxi can just play the role of the male protagonist of this self-made drama. For the female protagonist, we prefer Bae Suzy. If we can copy the male and female protagonist lineup of "Goblin", I think it will greatly promote the topic and popularity of this drama..."

Bae Suzy?

Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but look up when he heard this, and looked at the other party in surprise. Feeling Li Zhixi's puzzled eyes, he smiled and waved his hand: "You continue..."

They also copied the male and female protagonist lineup of "Goblin". The appetite is really big.

Why didn't you invite senior Yoona?

Why does it seem that this sister doesn't know much about the film and television circle of the Peninsula? She doesn't seem to know that actors are not invited by her. Actors at a certain level are very concerned about their reputation, unless they are paid millions of dollars each like Bong Joon-ho.

But how is that possible?

Just this sentence made Chi Jingyuan question Li Zhixi's professionalism.

But he didn't show it, just lowered his head and looked at the script.

"We hope to use the industry's top production team for this drama. After filming is completed, it will be broadcast directly on the streaming platform. As the first self-made drama in the Peninsula market, the website will definitely give the best traffic support..."

When Li Zhixi was still boasting about the benefits of Chi Jingyuan's cooperation with Netflix, Chi Jingyuan suddenly looked up and asked: "What if I think there is a problem with the script?..."

"Uh..."

It seemed that he didn't expect Chi Jingyuan to ask this. Li Zhixi was stunned for the first time, and then his expression became a little bad: "We generally don't ask about the script, but we will ask the best writers and the most professional team to revise it to ensure every detail. If Jingyuanxi has any ideas, you can give them feedback... But generally speaking, there should be no problem."

"Hmm..."

Looking at this Giselle, Chi Jingyuan nodded without comment.

In fact, after hearing this, he had no interest in this cooperation with Netflix. This so-called person in charge of Netflix TV series content Peninsula really disappointed him.

At first, Chi Jingyuan thought that this sister was so confident just saying some polite words, but as he listened, he felt that Li Zhixi didn't seem to be like that... She seemed to be so confident.

She seemed to really think that Netflix's current predicament in Peninsula was only temporary.

Although the development in Peninsula was not going well, she was very good at bragging, and fooled Chi Jingyuan like a rookie who didn't understand the situation.

Moreover, she talked a lot about exaggeration, but there was nothing substantial. From her tone, she wanted him to be the male lead, and even didn't allow him to modify the script, let alone other rights.

Chi Jingyuan heard Kim Eun-sook casually mention that in order to cooperate with tvN and for Kim Eun-sook's next TV series, Netflix was very enthusiastic and even flattering to them. Not only did they offer the best conditions, but they also took care of many aspects outside of cooperation.

As for Bong Joon-ho, let alone $50 million. What a concept.

When Chi Jingyuan thought about it, he suddenly felt a little unhappy.

You guys like tvN, Kim Eun-sook, Bong Joon-ho, but why don't you like me?

Do you look down on a little actor like me?

Or... do you really think this script is excellent and has a lot of potential?

"... I see. I'm glad that Giselexi and Netflix think highly of me. I'll go back and study the script and get back to you as soon as possible."

The script is poor, the person in charge is amateurish and arrogant, and most importantly, there is not much sincerity. At this point, Chi Jingyuan, who has almost read it, has no intention of continuing the conversation. With that, he is ready to say goodbye and end today's meeting.

"Jingyuanxi..."

Even though he seemed a bit amateurish about some things in the industry, Li Zhixi could certainly see Chi Jingyuan's refusal, and after a pause, he suddenly became a little anxious.

Inviting Chi Jingyuan to star in their first homemade drama was the safest and most appropriate plan they discussed at a meeting after market research.

Although Li Zhixi does not think that actors need to be paid too much attention. Any actor is replaceable, and the focus should still be on TV stations, directors and well-known writers, but she also recognizes Chi Jingyuan's current market and popularity, and feels that he is in The first drama after "Goblin" will definitely attract huge attention, otherwise I wouldn't have personally gone out to find someone to recommend it.

I just didn't expect that she had been bragging for so long, but when it came time to really talk, Chi Jingyuan looked like he wanted to refuse.

Didn't I make it clear about the superiority of our platform? Are the conditions I offer not good enough?

"Jingyuanxi..."

Seeing Chi Jingyuan smiling and preparing to leave, Li Zhixi became a little anxious and spoke faster: "If you are willing to reach a cooperation, we can sign multiple film contracts with you at a premium that is much higher than... much higher than the market price... "

"Thank you very much for your good opinion of me, but I really need to discuss it with the company."

Salary is an important indicator for most actors, but Chi Jingyuan remains unmoved.

He knows that Netflix is ​​really rich, and he also believes that they can offer super high film contracts, but it doesn't mean anything to him.

For that script, even YoonA senior would not accept it, let alone him. No matter how high the salary is, it will consume his popularity.

Unless... you give me another 50 million dollars...

He sat down immediately and signed the contract on the spot.

By the way, I'll bring Pei Xiuzhi over to you... Whoever you want, he'll bring him over to you.

"you……"

The salary offensive actually failed, and Li Zhixi was surprised and said quickly: "If you are willing to join our camp, we are willing to help you introduce director Bong Joon-ho. This time "Okja" has entered post-production and there is no chance, but we promise Director Junhao can arrange an important role for you in his next drama..."

This is really tempting. Bong Joon-ho is one of the top directors in Peninsula, so being able to star in one of his movies is certainly very attractive.

It's a pity that you have already said that a movie has been filmed and is in post-production. It is still uncertain how the movie will perform, not to mention how important the so-called important role is. It doesn't make sense for Jingyuan, and this kind of director doesn't know how long he will take a break after filming a movie. This kind of empty promise is just a lie to newcomers who don't have the resources and knowledge.

And... Chi Kyung-yuan can get to know Bong Joon-ho without Netflix's introduction.

"Of course I'm honored to work with director Bong Joon-ho. I've always been a fan of his work."

Chi Jingyuan, who had already stood up, squinted his eyes and nodded gently: "I will definitely visit if I have a chance next time."

Seeing that several conditions were completely ignored by the other party, and even the other party turned around and left, as well as his perfunctory attitude in the end, somewhat stimulated Li Zhixi's self-esteem as an executive of Peninsula Netflix, and made her, who was already a little conceited, really Angry from embarrassment, she called Chi Jingyuan directly, her tone already showing obvious anger:

"Jing Yuanxi, our conditions are generous enough. You have to know that Netflix doesn't have to be your choice. We have many candidate actors. Do you want to think about it carefully? Otherwise, you may miss out on our friendship. , and will miss a very excellent work.”

"oh?"

Chi Jingyuan didn't take this sister's little threat to heart at first, but after hearing her last sentence, he couldn't help laughing.

It’s not a show of respect or a business smile, it’s a smile that comes from the bottom of my heart and I can’t help it.

He turned around and looked at Li Zhixi, who looked confident and indignant, with a strange expression, nodded, nodded slightly, and said with some regret, but also sincerely: "Maybe.

"It's a really excellent script."
