Chapter 7 It's worth ten million
"Dad, are you going to see him in person?" Lin Weixi was quite surprised, in her memory, her father had never been so enthusiastic.
Father Lin Yimou is a well-known Ivy League in the film and television industry, and he has never lacked good scripts, why did he react so much after watching "It's All Good"?
Is "It's All Good" a rare boutique?
"Such a good script, I accepted it. I went to see him to see if I could buy him out, and if he wanted to cooperate deeply, I had to see how he was first. Lin Yimou smiled slightly, and took off the coat and hat hanging on the hanger in the hall.
"He's quite talented and has a deep understanding of science fiction. Lin Weixi went to put on his shoes, and at the same time made a phone call to Su Xiaozhou.
In Lu Changming's rental room, the fumes finally dissipated, but he was also sloppy and had to take a shower.
Only halfway through the wash, Su Xiaozhou rushed to the door: "Mingming, hurry up, hurry up, Weixi's father wants to see you." ”
"What?" Lu Changming rubbed his hands for a moment, revealing a look of surprise, and then he was clear and confident.
is worthy of being an excellent script in a parallel world, "It's All Good" has entered the eyes of director Lin Da!
"Okay, you call a car first, and I'll finish washing it right away. "Lu Changming doesn't ink, he does it after dividing it by two, and then goes out.
The two siblings took a taxi and went to the café again.
It's already past seven o'clock in the evening, but for the bustling city center, this is the busiest time.
Walking into the café, Lu Changming saw Lin Weixi at a glance.
Still in that corner, Lin Weixi was sitting by the window, and next to her sat a middle-aged man in black casual clothes.
The middle-aged man wears rimless glasses, has two rings of mustache, and has a slightly fat figure, but his hair and clothing are meticulously groomed, and he is a very temperamental uncle.
"Weixi, this is your dad? I think I've seen it on TV. Su Xiaozhou was the first to speak, she was more lively and familiar, but she was not restrained.
"Hello two. Lin Yimou smiled kindly, his eyes had locked on Lu Changming, and at the same time he reached out and moved the hat on the table to the side.
"Hello Mr. Lin. Lu Changming is not restrained, but he is very respectful in his heart, and the Ivy League director in front of him is not an ordinary person.
Compared with him, Wang Xiaoli, who wanted to sleep with herself, was simply a stinky fish and rotten shrimp.
"Mr. Lu, please be seated. Lin Yimou was very kind, and his daughter Lin Weixi took the initiative to order two cups of cappuccino, with sugar.
After Lu Changming and Su Xiaozhou sat down, Lin Weixi spoke: "Zhouzhou, let's go shopping and buy a few clothes." ”
"Ahh Su Xiaozhou reacted, it was inconvenient for him to stay here and disturb the man talking about business.
She hurriedly went shopping with Lin Weixi.
As soon as the two girls left, Lu Changming spoke first to show politeness: "Mr. Lin, what do you think of "It's All Good"?"
Lin Yimou didn't speak immediately, he looked at the young man in front of him carefully, and had to admit that Lu Changming was really handsome.
It's rare to see such a handsome young man and so talented.
"I'll call you Xiao Lu, I have two questions for you, and I hope you can answer them. "Lin Yimou gets straight to the point, a big director like him won't waste time.
"Excuse me. ”
"First, do you want to sell scripts, or do you want to be your own director?" Lin Yimou asked with a smile, giving people a very easy-going and majestic feeling.
"I want to be a director myself. Lu Changming already knows Lin Yimou's thoughts, and Lin Yimou probably wants to buy out "It's All Good", so that he owns all the copyrights and doesn't need to waste words with himself.
"That's right. Lin Yimou was a little disappointed, but he didn't show it, but asked the next question, "The second question, I think the role of the heroine in the play is more difficult to choose, and choosing the wrong one is likely to ruin a drama, do you have the right candidate?"
The heroine of "It's All Good" is Su Mingyu, a girl who has been beaten, scolded and even abused by her mother since she was a child. She grew up in a distorted family, full of hatred for her family, and has a strong personality, not all stars can play in place.
"To be honest, I don't pay much attention to actors, Mr. Lin is a famous director, you should be able to choose the right role. Lu Changming replied that he didn't push back, but really didn't pay attention to celebrities and couldn't give too good advice.
Lin Yimou groaned, knocked his fingers on the chair a few times, and then proposed: "What do you think of Yang Yao?" She is popular, has countless fans, and she can basically return to her original cost with her participation. ”
Yang Yao?
Lu Changming searched in his mind, and a beautiful melon seed face appeared in front of him, not stained with red dust and not eating fireworks, he was a fairy in costume dramas.
"I'm afraid it's not appropriate. Lu Changming shook his head directly, the costume fairy played Su Mingyu, it was funny to think about.
"What about Guan Xiao?" Lin Yimou hid a smile in the corner of his eyes, and recommended another big star.
Guan Xiao is also very beautiful, white and tender, she is a frequent visitor to youth idol dramas, and the number of fans is also amazing.
But Lu Changming still shook his head: "It's not suitable, let's not talk about the acting skills, "It's All Good" is a family ethics drama, the actor must have a sense of life, it's good to look good, it's too beautiful but it's against the peace." ”
Lin Yimou clapped his hands and said with a smile: "You say it very reasonably, I thought that a young man like you would pursue a high-traffic female star." ”
He took a sip of the bitter latte and said: "The style of "It's All Good" is life, I'm really afraid that you will sell it to others, and then invite a bunch of young ladies to play it." ”
He deliberately tested Lu Changming just now.
If Lu Changming pursues a traffic female star, it means that he can only write scripts and has no opinions on film and television, such a person is suitable for coding behind the scenes, and he must not be a director in the front desk.
"It turns out that Mr. Lin is deliberately testing me, so I will say how can you be like those vulgar directors, you will only chase a lot of traffic. Lu Changming smiled back, "A famous director is a famous director." ”
The two exchanged praise and deepened their revolutionary friendship.
Lin Yimou laughed, got up and stretched out his hand: "Young man, my "Hawthorn Tree Love" has ended, and the next film will be filmed "It's All Good", I will ask the company's people to sign a contract with you, you are a screenwriter, you can give guidance, and you also have a certain right to decide on the selection of people." As for the price, how much do you want?"
In fact, Lu Changming wants to be a director, but he knows that he can't become a big fat man in one bite, "It's All Good" is his first step, and it is already of great significance to be a screenwriter for on-site guidance and casting.
"I'm more greedy, I expect that "It's All Good" will be popular all over the country, so I ask for a higher price. Lu Changming is welcome, although he is a newcomer, "It's All Good" is not a "new work", and he can't sell "It's All Good" at a newcomer price of hundreds of thousands or even tens of thousands.
Lin Yimou teased: "Ten million?"
10 million is already the price of a gold screenwriter, and only a few people in the industry can reach it.
According to the current market, screenwriters of hundreds of thousands of episodes are rare, and the 46 episodes of "It's All Good" are worth millions in total.
"10 million is a lot, in fact, 1 million is a lot for me as a newcomer, and I am grateful to Mr. Lin for his attention, but as far as "It's All Good" is concerned, it's really worth 10 million. Lu Changming said with a smile, this is his estimation based on the achievements of "It's All Good" in the parallel world, which is actually less.
Lin Yimou picked up the corner of his eye, you kid is a bamboo pole and climb up.
A novice who has no name and dares to regard himself as a gold medal screenwriter.
"Young man, self-confidence is a good thing, but there has to be material, how is "It's All Good" worth 10 million?" Lin Yimou struck, grinding the young man's sharpness.
"As long as Director Lin shoots the effect I expected, I think "It's All Good" will at least break 2 in the ratings of three TV stations, rank in the top three in the ratings of ten TV stations, and exceed 200 million in a single day, which is the capital it is worth 10 million. Lu Changming said three achievements, which have reached or even surpassed in the parallel world.
He believes that with Lin Yimou's ability, he can also make "It's All Good" achieve the above achievements.
Lin Yimou was really taken aback, the ratings of three TV stations broke 2, the ratings of ten TV stations ranked in the top three, and the number of online broadcasts in a single day exceeded 200 million.
Lu Changming breathed a big sigh.
"Young man, it's not me who hits you, if "It's All Good" is really like this, it is indeed worth 10 million, and I am willing to give you 10 million. But for now, I can only give you two million at most. Lin Yimou shook his head and gave his psychological price.
Two million is already a huge amount of money for a newcomer, with an average of nearly 50,000 per episode, and it is difficult for senior screenwriters to get it.
"No problem, but the next time we cooperate, Mr. Lin will definitely give me more than this price. ”
"Then we'll see. ”
