Chapter 140 - Occupation (1)
Not only did Wu Huai receive calls from many insiders, but Xu Ke was the same.
It's just that Xu Ke didn't figure out the situation at this time, and immediately came to Wu Huai after shirking it.
Wu Huai handed the manuscript to Xu Ke and said with a smile: "It's this TV series, you can watch it first." ”
Xu Ke took the manuscript and sat aside to read it carefully.
"Snail House" ...... When he saw the title of the book, Xu Ke knew that this was a completely different story from "Langya Bang".
Despite being mentally prepared, Xu Ke was shocked by the oppression and cruelty of this story.
Because it is irrefutable, it is depressing, and because it is real and ordinary, it is cruel.
In the story, she saw marriage disarm and surrender in front of material, and saw love collapse in power and money.
Such a story...... Xu Ke has a hunch that it will definitely attract widespread attention.
Because it uses the pain point of buying a house, it directly presents the embarrassment of ordinary residents.
It's like a spike pointing straight to reality, allowing the audience to examine their current situation in pain......
"How is it?" Seeing Xu Ke put down the manuscript, Wu Huai asked with a smile.
"It's very heavy, it's real, and it's also very interesting!" Xu Ke sighed lightly and said, "It's just...... Aren't you going to star in this TV series?"
"No," Wu Huai shook his head with a smile and said, "I want to play the role of Xiaobei in the play." ”
"Xiaobei?" Xu Ke was stunned, strictly speaking, the role of Xiaobei can only be regarded as the third male......
"This is not appropriate, it doesn't match your identity and reputation......" Xu Ke said hesitantly.
Wu Huai smiled and said, "What is my identity...... It's just an actor!"
He understood what Xu Ke meant, roughly saying that his role as a male No. 3 was a self-surrendering identity.
If you are participating in someone else's TV series, it is true, but this "Snail House" is a TV series invested by yourself, so it is another matter!
Moreover, an impressive role is the essence of an actor.
As far as the role of Xiaobei is concerned, Wu Huai feels that there is room for shaping and performance.
"Well, since you've thought about it, let's do it according to your own ideas!" Xu Ke nodded and said, "Then when will our TV series start?"
Wu Huai pondered for a moment and said: "Before September, the filming cycle of this TV series can be completed in three months, and it can be broadcast just before the year!"
"What about the director, is there already a suitable candidate?" asked Xu Ke.
"It's not decided for the time being!" Wu Huai thought for a while and said, "Let's meet with Director Jiang Shouyuan first, and then decide, you can also look for it!"
has abundant funds and a good script, in fact, it is not difficult to find a director, the key is whether it is suitable or not.
Four days later, Sorghum wrote the story and began to adapt it into a screenplay.
Wu Huai took the manuscript of "Snail House" and met Jiang Shouyuan.
Also here is Ren Shihui, the director of the copyright department of Dongying Group, who has been in contact with him before.
Ren Shihui looked at the young man in front of him and couldn't help but sigh a little.
A year ago, he was just an unknown and unknown artist.
At this time, he is already a popular first-line male star with a net worth of over 100 million!
"Director Jiang, Minister Ren, don't come unharmed. Wu Huai greeted them with a smile and sat down together.
The three of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Wu Huai handed the bound manuscript to Jiang Shouyuan and Ren Shihui.
Jiang Shouyuan and Ren Shihui looked at this story called "Snail House" seriously, and knew that it took more than an hour before the two put down the manuscript!
The two glanced at each other, and both saw the amazement and still the same in each other's eyes.
"You also wrote this story?" Ren Shihui asked as he looked at Wu Huai incredulously.
Wu Huai smiled: "No, but all the copyright is in my hands." ”
Although no one would object to saying that "Snail House" is Wu Huai's work, Wu Huai does not need to try these false names, interests are the most important thing.
"Ah Huai, do you want to sell the film and television rights of this work?" Jiang Shouyuan asked tentatively.
In "Langya Bang", the two are in the same camp, and everything is working together.
But now, Jiang Shouyuan represents the Dongying Group, so his mentality has also changed.
Of course, Wu Huai shook his head with a smile and said: "No, but if Dongying Group wants to participate in the investment, I am also welcome!"
Wu Huai's sentence illustrates the premise for the two sides to continue talking, that is, this TV series must be led by Wu Huai's studio.
"What is the investment budget?" Jiang Shouyuan and Ren Shihui whispered for a moment and asked.
"Four thousand to fifty million. Wu Huai said with a smile.
"Twenty million?" Ren Shihui asked tentatively, he meant that Dongying Group invested 20 million.
If the total investment is 40 million, then they can get half of the film and television copyrights.
Wu Huai naturally shook his head without hesitation, if he wasn't worried that this theme would be too sharp and would be stuck, he wouldn't even want to give it to Dongying Group at all!
But just like the proportion of Dongying Group is too small, Wu Huai is worried that they will not contribute money.
Therefore, the copyright share of both parties is a very key issue.
"Ah Huai, we have been working together for so long, you and I will be honest, how much can you give up?" Jiang Shouyuan began to play the emotional card.
Wu Huai's face was a little moved, but he still remained calm in his heart: "Director Jiang knows that I am a person with ambitions, if it weren't for the happy cooperation with you before, I wouldn't have talked about it." ”
"Now that Director Jiang has spoken...... Wu Huai said with an embarrassed expression on his face, "If Dongying agrees, I am willing to give 20% of the film and television copyrights!"
20% of the film and television copyrights, and the investment is nearly 10 million, but I don't worry that Dongying Group will not contribute!
"That's too little...... 40%!" Ren Shihui is very optimistic about the prospects of "Snail House", so he can fight for some.
And this total investment is not as big as "Langya Bang", with the endorsement of him and Jiang Shouyuan, it is not difficult to approve it above.
Wu Huai shook his head firmly and said, "I actually don't lack gold...... So there's no need for Minister Ren to bargain on this!"
Ren Shihui choked for a moment, a little speechless.
No matter what other producers say, they will consider Dongying's fame and strength, but Wu Huai doesn't eat this set.
What's more, they still have nothing to do with Wu Huai......
Jiang Shouyuan pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Twenty is twenty, but we Dongying will participate in the production of this TV series!"
"Okay, happy cooperation!" Wu Huai did not object to this, the reason why he was willing to cooperate with Dongying was also to rely on the production ability of Dongying Group.
Whether it is the construction of the pre-crew team, the selection of directors or the post-production, Wu Huai must use the strength of Dongying Group!
His studio doesn't have the full capacity to produce a quality TV series right now, and that's where their shortcomings lie.
So it's a good deal to give up some of the initiative in exchange for maximum benefits.
