430. Successfully sign a contract and prepare a script

While Zhou Fangyuan looked at Lao Fan, Lao Fan was also silently thinking about this matter in his heart.

Do you accept Zhou Fangyuan's invitation?

Yuanfang Media is now very famous in China, and the two TV series have all received extremely high ratings, which made Sun Honglei popular, and at the same time allowed Xu Ruxuan to obtain the second spring of his acting career in the mainland, with a 100% success rate, so that I don't know how many people want to establish a cooperative relationship with Yuanfang Media. Not to mention that foreign game companies have also teamed up with Yuanfang Media to make a game-changing movie, and the director is still the famous Cameron, and this movie is obviously aimed at Hollywood and the global market.

In today's entertainment industry, as long as you are a star, you have a Hollywood dream, and now as long as you can establish a relationship with distant media, it is possible to join the big movies in the future, and anyone with no problem with their brains knows what to do.

So does Lao Fan know?

Of course he knows.

He also knows that if he can really sign a contract with Yuanfang Media, then he will be able to make a lot of money in the future, which is far from being provided by the art troupe.

What is he doing as an actor in the art troupe, it is a stable job, and what does a stable job mean, it means drought and flood to ensure income, it means an iron rice bowl, and it means being able to make money. Of course, he also has a dream of loving acting, but this does not conflict with making money. Now what is in front of him is actually a multiple-choice question, do you want stability but earn less, or do you want to earn more but not stable?

After all, he is different from Sha Yi, Sha Yi is still young, and the future is limitless, he can make choices with a more relaxed attitude. But Lao Fan can't, Lao Fan is old and young, he wants to make money to support his family, he can't easily joke about his life and family.

"By the way, Lao Fan, you should know, I told Sha Yi before, I will guarantee him at least one million a year, if it is more, then how much he should earn, if it is less than one million, the company will make up for him. This condition also applies to you, if you are willing to sign a contract with Yuanfang Media, Yuanfang Media can also provide such a minimum income guarantee contract, as long as your annual salary this year is less than the amount specified in the contract, the missing part will be made up by the company for you, to ensure that your income will not shrink. ”

Lao Fan was still worried about his life, but what Zhou Fangyuan said now was equivalent to a big reassuring blow to him, so that he finally had no worries.

"Mr. Zhou, I am very willing to sign a contract with distant media, but you know, I am still a soldier now, and I can't leave the army casually......"

"Don't worry, I'll help you solve this matter, as long as you are willing to join the distant media, it's not a problem. ”

It is indeed not a problem, with the current scale and financial resources of the Yuanfang Group, if you want to find someone to do things with a relationship, there is basically nothing they can't do. Even if it is an army, you can find someone to say a few words, although Lao Fan is now a very important actor in the art troupe, but if the distant group wants to ask for someone, it is not difficult in theory. It's nothing more than going through some special procedures, as long as Lao Fan himself agrees, then everything will be easy to do.

Hearing Zhou Fangyuan's words, Lao Fan breathed a sigh of relief.

Of course he is willing to make more money, who in this world will have a grudge against money? In the past, he just had no chance, but now that he has the opportunity, how can he let it go? One million a year, no, maybe even higher. After all, in terms of qualifications, he is higher than Sha Yi. In terms of acting skills, he doesn't think he is worse than Sha Yi, Sha Yi can get a guaranteed contract of one million a year, how can he not get it?

One million is enough for him to earn ten years in the art troupe, how could he refuse Zhou Fangyuan's invitation?

Before, it was because he was concerned, but now Zhou Fangyuan took the initiative to promise to help him solve the problem of the file, and the last scruples in his heart disappeared.

"So Mr. Zhou, let's have a good cooperation?"

"It was a pleasure to work with. ”

Zhou Fangyuan smiled and shook Lao Fan's hand.

Since Lao Fan agreed to join, it was Zhou Fangyuan's person, Zhou Fangyuan was happy, and Lao Fan was also happy, so the two of them had a good meal.

After eating, Lao Fan rode away on his bicycle, and after Zhou Fangyuan saw him off, he called Sun Jing.

Ten minutes later, Sun Jing drove to Zhou Fangyuan.

"Done?"

As soon as Zhou Fangyuan got into the car, Sun Jing asked.

"Well, that's it, he agreed to join Far Media. ”

Zhou Fangyuan tugged at his collar and said.

"Of course, I don't doubt that he will join, but I have a question now, Xiaoyuan, you know, they are all active soldiers, and they are literary and artistic soldiers of the army's art troupe. The army is different from our civilians, is it really good for you to dig into the corners of the wall like this?"

"What's the difference?"

"They are very good, and their acting skills are good, but I'm worried that the troops won't release them. And if you do this, will the top brass of the army have an opinion on us?"

"What can you say, Sister Sun, you think too much, the army art troupe is not a one-person acting team, although Lao Fan and Xiaosha have good acting skills, but there are more capable people in the art troupe, they can only be regarded as the main actors in their respective art troupes, not the pillars, such people, although they can also develop in the art troupe, but in fact their development is more or less restricted, I don't say that the art troupe is bad, but what do you say about the art troupe, it is very suitable for some people, but it is not suitable for some people。 And whether it is suitable or not, let's not mention it, let's just talk about the matter of asking for people, we now have a cooperative relationship with the Air Politics Art Troupe, and I also relied on Professor Tian to meet Grandpa Liu, as long as Grandpa Liu speaks, it is not simple to let Xiaosha out. Similarly, with Grandpa Liu's help, Lao Fan's side is easy to solve. So your worries are completely unnecessary, and there is not much of an obstacle to asking for people at all. ”

Zhou Fangyuan said confidently.

In fact, he was not wrong, when he called Grandpa Liu the next day to tell him what he requested, Grandpa Liu on the other side of the phone just smiled helplessly.

"Xiaoyuan, you're giving me a problem. ”

"Huh, Grandpa Liu, isn't this a good thing to do?"

"It's not a question of whether it's easy to handle or not, you did it, it's equivalent to opening an opening for this matter, today Xiaosha goes out, tomorrow it will be someone else, the army art troupe is not a vegetable market, it's not that anyone can come if they want to, and anyone can leave if they want to." ”

"Eh, but Grandpa Liu, I'm optimistic about Xiaosha's acting skills, I still have a lot of scenes I want to shoot with him in the future, I'm worried about ......"

"Worried that the art troupe will restrict him? haha, Xiaoyuan, you think too much, as long as it is a legal shooting plan, our art troupe has no reason to prevent the actors from taking over other scripts outside, it's just that we have to go through a few more procedures, it's man-made, and we are not old feudal, how can we stop people from going out?"

"This, that's it, then forget about this thing......"

"There's no need to do this, after all, you've spoken, if I don't want to help you, Lao Tian won't trouble me in the future? Don't worry, I agreed to this matter this time, what procedures and processes can I help you do." But it's a little far, only this once, not an example. Your heart is good, but this is not a simple contract, so you must not trouble me again in the future, you know?"

"Mmmm, I know, thank you so much Grandpa Liu. ”

"Haha, no thanks, it would be better than anything else if you could invest in more military-themed TV series in the future. ”

Grandpa Liu said with a smile, and then hung up the phone.

On the phone, Zhou Fangyuan wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, he originally thought that this thing was very easy to do, but who knew that there were still these troubles?

It's just that Xiaosha is so troublesome, Lao Fan is there...... Can it really succeed?

Zhou Fangyuan had no choice but to continue to ask Grandpa Liu.

Grandpa Liu didn't refuse him, after all, Lao Fan is not a member of the Kongzheng Art Troupe, and the specific decision is not on him.

However, since he came forward, Lao Fan's leader would not refute his face, but in the same way, the leader of Lao Fan's art troupe also said that this time will not be an example. After all, troops and localities are different, and they should not have their own set of rules, not that they can do what they want, although things are done by man, but some things are better to do less.

In the end, Yuanfang Media successfully signed Sha Yi and Lao Fan, and the contract for Lao Fan was really better than Sha Yi, with a guaranteed income of 1.5 million.

In this era, an annual income of one million or one and a half million is already a very high income level, and the two people who were signed did not have any objections at all.

As for the others, Zhou Fangyuan is not ready to dig, not because he doesn't want to, but because he can't, Xiao Sha has already asked Grandpa Liu to say that kind of thing to him, and he Zhou Fangyuan is not an ignorant person, of course he knows what he should do.

Other actors, when they need it, can directly negotiate with the army for loan, pay some fees, and when they are discharged, it is not too late to sign them. Even when the time comes, whether or not you need to sign someone else will have to say otherwise.

The actors are ready, and the performances are basically set, and the rest is the script.

Zhou Fangyuan didn't have time to write his own script, so he still needed a screenwriter.

As for the screenwriter, he decided to use the screenwriter of the previous drama - God of Wealth.

The God of Wealth, whose real name is Chen Ning, was born in Haishi and his ancestral home is in the Northeast.

He is one of the early netizens in the Tianya community and has served as a moderator of film and television reviews.

He later said in an interview that when he first registered his screen name online, he originally wanted to be called "Ning Caichen", but who knew that this famous infatuated scholar who fell in love with the famous female ghost Xiaoqian had been snatched away by others. Considering that Ning Caichen in Cantonese is homophonic to Ning Caishen, so there is this screen name. Majoring in finance in college, he worked in the futures business, and after going bankrupt, he changed his career to design and writing. He is the leader of the first generation of online writers in China and is named one of the "troikas" of the Internet. After many years in the capital, due to the fear of being bullied by the taxi driver, he practiced an authentic Beijing dialect.

In 91, at the age of 15, he entered East China University of Science and Technology in Haishi as a young college student to study international finance. Here's an interesting fact, that is, he never failed his essay when he was a child, and at first he thought that it was because of his unique personality that the teacher would not give him a high score. Later, when he saw the diaries and texts that his mother kept for him from childhood to adulthood, he realized that all the sentences he wrote when he was a child were wrong sentences.

He started writing in earnest in '97, when he met a girl. She didn't have much money, and the only gift she could give was to write some articles for her. In addition, his biggest purpose at that time was to earn a huge amount of manuscript fees, and he always fantasized about using the manuscript fees to replace the two-cylinder washing machine at home with a Little Swan fully automatic. In the end, his dream was shattered, because the price of the washing machine changed so much that the money sent by the editorial department was only enough to buy a microwave oven.

At the end of 99, the God of Wealth returned to Shanghai and worked as the director of operations under the "banyan tree".

Later, during the Internet bubble in 02, the God of Wealth resigned and left the website, and tried to be a screenwriter again at the instigation of his good friend Bai Mei.

If you have to find the difference between these words and Qiong Yao, it is that the narrative is much more "poor", and there are many jokes that can make people laugh. However, many people know the God of Wealth not through his "sour jokes", but through another series of ghost stories β€”β€”β€” him. But the God of Wealth himself was a little unimpressed: "If I had to list major works, I would definitely not list ghost stories." There are only a dozen articles in total, and it only took me two nights, purely to scare people on Halloween. ”

Later, he began to write comedy scripts, and he was out of control, and finally wrote many well-known works, which is really one of the rare talents in the Chinese comedy industry. It's a pity that he is such a talent, but in the end he became infamous because of some bad things, and finally disappeared from the field of vision. Until Zhou Fangyuan was reborn, he only showed up when he was released, and then he basically couldn't see anyone, and he didn't know what his future life would be.

But anyway, he still has the ability, and at this time he should have begun to have the idea of writing a martial arts biography, maybe he hasn't had time to write, and he may not have the idea yet, but anyway, Zhou Fangyuan hopes that he will complete this script, on the one hand, it can be said to be a compensation for "stealing" the other party's achievements, at least the reputation can be returned to the other party. Similarly, Zhou Fangyuan is also worried, if he changes to another person, will this script not have the same level as the previous life?

In order to ensure the quality of the script, he finally chose the God of Wealth and chose the original author.

Contacting Fortuna is simple, it's just a phone call.

Answering the phone, Zhou Fangyuan didn't talk too much nonsense, but said directly to the point, "Hello Mr. Chen, I am Zhou Fangyuan from Yuanfang Media, I want you to help me write a script, I don't know if you have time now, Mr. Chen?"
