Chapter VIII Signing of Contracts

When Lu Chen woke up the next morning, he found that the food he had packed had been swept away, and the packed cutlery had been thrown into the trash can in the kitchen.

It seems that no matter how sad people are, they still know how to eat.

It's just that the four hundred yuan was still on the table, Shi Yin didn't move, seeing these money, Lu Chen smiled, and after that, he went to the dream country after washing.

Maybe it was because of the last time he came, Lu Chen walked to the reception desk of Dream Country, and the little girl at the front desk smiled and said to him: "Mr. Lu, Director Cheng and Director Chen are waiting for you in the office, please come with me." ”

"Good. ”

Following the reception of the little sister, Lu Chen came to Cheng Ming's office again, Cheng Ming and Chen Chuan seemed to be chatting about something at this time, after Lu Chen went in, the two of them were still discussing very intensely, until the little sister at the front desk opened her mouth to speak, they didn't react that someone came in.

"Mr. Cheng, Mr. Lu is here. ”

Hearing the words of the little sister at the front desk, the two turned their heads to look at Lu Chen at the same time.

Chen Chuan got up directly and walked towards Lu Chen, and then stretched out his right hand.

"Hello, I'm Chen Chuan. ”

Lu Chen also hurriedly stretched out his left hand and shook hands with him.

"Hello. ”

Then, Chen Chuan pulled out a chair for Lu Chen, and then instructed:

"You may be seated. ”

Seeing Chen Chuan so polite, Lu Chen was a little embarrassed, after all, Chen Chuan is also a celebrity in this world, although he has become a director now, his fame is still there, and he is older than himself, let him pull a chair for himself, which is a bit inappropriate.

After Lu Chen said "thank you", he immediately sat down.

Chen Chuan opened his mouth and asked, "Little brother is so young, he should have just graduated, right?"

Lu Chen replied perfunctorily: "Well, yes. ”

Hearing this question, Lu Chen was a little worried, worried that Dream Country would use the reason that he was a rookie screenwriter to lower the price.

However, Lu Chen soon discovered that his worries were unnecessary.

Chen Chuan praised at this time: "I was able to write such a good script just after graduation, it seems that there will be a great screenwriter in the film and television industry soon." ”

Lu Chen smiled and didn't speak.

At this time, Cheng Ming interjected: "Mr. Lu, I came to you this time to discuss the price of the script with you again, Director Chen values your script more, he communicated with the senior management of our company, and the price of this script can be mentioned a little more." ”

Hearing Cheng Ming's words, Lu Chen was a little relieved, so it seems that the Dream Country has no idea of lowering the price.

Chen Chuan said at this time: "If the dream country can buy this script, then I will be the director to shoot this drama, if I direct, Lu Chen, you can rest assured, although many of the TV series I have filmed have not become popular, I am definitely a very responsible director." ”

Chen Chuan has been filming modern comedies for decades, whether he is an actor or a director, he is a little tired, he actually wants to make a different TV series, but he really can't find a good script, Lu Chen's script opened his horizons, plus he himself and Dream Country are the reason for long-term cooperation, he has a good relationship with the upper echelons of the company, so he personally came forward to persuade Dream Country to buy the drama "Unruly Princess".

After experiencing the price setback of other companies, the price given by Dream Country Lu Chen is completely acceptable, and his drama is directed by Chen Chuan, who is relatively well-known in the entertainment industry, which is also of great benefit to him, which can indirectly increase his popularity.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen said directly: "Then 551 episodes, Mr. Cheng, what do you think?"

Seeing that the price of Lu Chenbao was within an acceptable range, Cheng Ming immediately said: "Fifty-five thousand episodes......

Speaking of this, Cheng Ming paused for a moment, and after a few seconds continued: "We can still accept this price. ”

"Well, now that the price has been negotiated, let's sign the contract next. ”

"Well, good. ”

Then Cheng Ming called his secretary and asked his secretary to type out the contract immediately, and while waiting for the contract, the three of them chatted about other things.

"Lu Chen, I see that your script is very standard, and the character dialogue is also very smooth, I almost don't need to change the character dialogue when I am filming, are you from Huaying?" Chen Chuan asked.

Lu Chen replied, "No, it's just an ordinary school." ”

"And who is your screenwriting teacher?"

Generally, people who have not gone to a professional school and want to be a screenwriter need a professional screenwriter to take for a period of time, and the script written by Lu Chen is very perfect, which indirectly shows that his screenwriting teacher is also very high.

Lu Chen smiled and said, "I don't have a teacher to take it." ”

Hearing this answer, Chen Chuan and Cheng Ming were stunned for a moment, a screenwriter who has neither learned professional knowledge nor has a teacher to lead him, can the script be written so perfectly?

This young man is really talented enough.

Speaking of which, Chen Chuan led the topic to other places.

"Having said that, Lu Chen, who do you think is more suitable to play the heroine in this drama? Or do you think that actor is the most capable of playing the heroine's brutal and willful character. ”

The name of the drama "Unruly Princess" determines that the heroine of this drama is very important, and if the heroine is not chosen well, it is basically equivalent to half of it.

Chen Chuan's question, Lu Chen thought about it seriously, but after he searched for the actresses in his mind about this world, he found that there seemed to be no actress who was most suitable for this role.

Of course, if you insist on finding a well-known actress to play it, it's not impossible.

"I'm not very familiar with those actresses, Director Chen, which actress do you think is more suitable?" Lu Chen returned the question to Chen Chuan again.

Chen Chuan thought for a while and said: "I'm afraid it's really hard to find the heroine of your drama, I have a few candidates, but the salaries of those people are a bit high, and Mr. Cheng and they may not be invited." ”

Cheng Ming said at this time: "How about using newcomers?"

Dream Country used to specialize in film and television dramas, and rarely operated other businesses, and the worse thing was that there were no artists of their own, and they had to be slaughtered every time they were paid for actors, so in the past two years, Dream Country has also begun to gradually sign new artists, and when filming TV series, they use newcomers more and more times.

Chen Chuan thought for a moment and said to Cheng Ming: "This role is difficult, and I am afraid that it will not be good to play it with newcomers." ”

"Otherwise, let those newcomers try the play first, and if there is a suitable one, use it, and then use star actors if there is no suitable one. ”

Hearing the conversation between Chen Chuan and Cheng Ming, Lu Chen remembered what the two of them had discussed when he went to the office first.

Before Lu Chen came, the two of them were already discussing the question of who should play the heroine.

At this time, the voice of Secretary Cheng Ming came, pulling the thoughts of the three back to reality.

"Mr. Cheng, the contract has been finalized. ”

The female secretary said as she put the contract in front of Cheng Ming's eyes, and Cheng Ming handed one of the contracts to Lu Chen.

"Lu Chen, take a look first, if there are any questions, or if you need to add. ”

Lu Chen took the contract and read it twice, in his previous life, he was cheated by his friends because of the contract, and he became a lot more cautious in this life.

After reading it, Lu Chen said, "There is nothing to add." ”

Cheng Ming took out two black signature pens, and then said, "If there is no problem, then sign." ”

"Well, good. ”

After both parties signed the contract, Cheng Ming and Lu Chen shook hands and said, "Happy cooperation!"

"Happy working together!"

"We will call you the cost of the first five episodes through the bank account you left on the contract, because it is tax-free, so the tax bureau will trouble you to run it yourself. Cheng Ming reminded.

Lu Chen took the contract and said with a smile: "Okay, I know." ”

After signing the contract, Lu Chen was about to leave the dream country, and at this moment, he suddenly looked at Chen Chuan and said:

"Director Chen, I suddenly remembered that I have a friend, she may be more suitable to play the heroine of this drama, I wonder if I can let her try the play?"

Chen Chuan replied: "Yes, after our side is ready, we will notify you when we audition, you just bring her over." ”

Speaking of this, Chen Chuan took out a business card and handed it to Lu Chen.

"By the way, this is my business card, if you have any questions that need to be communicated, you can call me directly. ”

"Thank you, Director Chen, then I'll go first. ”

After speaking, Lu Chen left the dream country.
