Yang Yang didn't know when he withdrew, he looked at the four of them chatting energetically, and he couldn't interject at all.

As everyone knows, this is precisely Qin Chuan's strategy.

I tried my best to use the thinking of online novels to assist the three screenwriters, so that they could recognize that part of the plot of the novel from their hearts.

The closer the film script and the novel are combined, the more difficult it is to break them up!

After tasting dragon liver and phoenix gall, if you go to eat ordinary food, it will naturally be difficult to swallow.

Novels are just novels after all, and they are only a few words at best.

These screenwriters need to work together to expand and refine.

Only by doing our own job can we solve all the problems well.

"Xiao Yang, how is the adaptation of the novel?" Liu Daoyong asked with concern, "If the price is reasonable and the conditions are relaxed, sign the contract quickly, so as to save a lot of dreams at night." ”

For such a large crew, many of the agreements signed by the staff, the venues rented, and the hotels booked all cost money.

If you don't do anything, you slip away millions of dollars in a day.

And the company has already set the file to the outside world, and "Erlang God" will be released in a year and a half.

The original announcement schedule was two years, but half a year has passed, and the movie has not yet started filming.

If it drags on any longer, it won't be able to catch up with the Spring Festival stalls at all!

Blaze Pictures had high expectations for the film and placed it on the highly competitive Spring Festival schedule in order to defeat the rest of its competitors.

The summer file is the highlight of the mythological movie universe, and it is also the first collection of immortals - "Fengshen List"!

The origin movie of Erlang God Yang Jian must be released before "Fengshen Bang" in order to achieve good results.

In the first half of the year, except for the Spring Festival, the market for the rest of the schedules was not large enough.

Since it is the last trump card before the assembly, it is natural to play a greater role.

Liu Daoyong is under a lot of pressure, the box office of "Nezha and the Sea" is so high, it is almost sprinting towards the box office record in film history, if the box office of "Erlang God" is too bad, his status in Flame Pictures will be greatly affected, and his income will be reduced a lot.

Basically, it doesn't mess around, and the box office of "Erlang God" hitting 3 billion or even 4 billion is very stable!

Yang Yang, who has been Liu Daoyong's assistant for two years, knows what his boss thinks: "Qin Chuan is a rookie writer, if we promise to give him a proper tilt in terms of publicity resources, the price will be much easier than the rest of the things." ”

"It's best to do it within a week, and when the meeting was held today, the general manager had repeatedly urged and even criticized by name. ”

Liu Daoyong has really not been so embarrassed in decades!

I don't know how others are laughing and laughing behind their backs.

The script thing can't be delayed any longer!

Yang Yang nodded hurriedly, "Teacher Qin is discussing the plot with Teacher Xu and them, can I invite him over now?"

"Go ahead. ”

Liu Daoyong's previous film producer had a box office of only one billion, and now this "Erlang God" must not be lost.

Qin Chuan knew that what the screenwriters wanted was an image of Erlang God who changed his life against the sky and struggled endlessly, and some clips can be found in "People Grow and Hate Water Changdong".

They need to combine it organically.

"Teacher Qin, please sit down, can you have something?" Liu Daoyong did not slack off because Qin Chuan was a young rookie writer, and there was no arrogance or contempt in his attitude.

Qin Chuan waved his hand again and again and said, "No, no, I drank two cups of tea in the conference room just now." ”

There is not much news about Producer Liu on the Internet, but I only know that this person has made several money-making movies, and only jumped to join Flame last year and became a senior producer.

Most of the time, it is the owner of the film and television company or the investor who signs the producer in the film.

Blaze Pictures, on the other hand, gave the producers enough power.

They are responsible for script coordination, pre-preparation, crew, preparation and rental of camera equipment, cost accounting, post-production and even distribution, and are the masters of the crew!

Liu Daoyong said with a smile: "The person who first noticed Mr. Qin's novel was actually Lin Xin, and after he read it, he recommended it to several of our screenwriters. They pondered for a while, and felt that some of the plots in your novel overlapped with what our movie wanted, so they tried their best to get your contact information. ”

"When I first saw that message, my first reaction was that I was a liar! How could Blaze Pictures find me, there is no such possibility. ”

Qin Chuan touts it appropriately, and he doesn't want money to talk about it.

"Your book is really good, but the main story is a little out of place. We were going to buy the rights to the film adaptation of the entire book, but we would actually only choose a small part of it. Previously, we quoted 5 million, just to buy the film adaptation rights, but now how about 8 million?"

"Producer Liu, I want to know clearly whether you bought the book "People Grow and Hate Water Changdong", whether it was used for the movie "Erlang God" or this series of movies? ”

Qin Chuan is very cautious, this issue has a huge stake.

"Of course, it's a series of movies, although there isn't much to use. We don't know the development of the subsequent plot of your novel for the time being, and it is best if you can use it, and it doesn't matter if you don't. ”

"Then I think we'd better sign one at a time, which will be good for both of us. ”

But Liu Daoyong didn't agree, he didn't buy the whole novel at once, and when the "Erlang God" movie became popular and wanted to make a sequel, I don't know how much more money I would have to pay to buy the copyright.

You have to have a long-term vision!

He didn't expect the newcomer's appetite to be so huge, "Well, let's base it on the trilogy for the time being." Regardless of whether we can make three works in the series or not, the licensing fee is calculated according to this. The film adaptation fee is three million each, how about nine million in total?"

"I said that one was 5 million, and even if three were discounted, it shouldn't be too little. ”

"Our production funds are really tight, the salaries of the leading actors and directors are not high, and there is not much money available. If you want to shoot this kind of mythological drama well, costumes, makeup, props, and sets are very expensive, and the special effects are tens of millions a second, and the investment is almost exhausted. For the sake of quality, we can only endure it, and we can't embezzle the funds for post-production, right?"

Qin Chuan wants box office dividends, even if it can be 1%.

Following Liu Daoyong's words: "If this investment is really tight, I can convert the copyright transfer fee into an investment, I don't know if Producer Liu agrees?"

"It's not that I don't agree, the investors of this film have already been determined, and it's not something I can change. To bring in new investors, you have to get the company's CEO and several other investors to agree. ”

Who doesn't want to take box office dividends?

This kind of movie is destined to be a big hit, and the creators will not get dividends.

If you can solve it with a salary, try to pay as much as possible.

If Qin Chuan agrees, he will be a millionaire.

But there is obviously a chance to be a multimillionaire, why choose a million?

So he took a step back and said, "I can make some concessions on royalties, but you need to meet some simple terms of mine." ”

Don't expect a high transfer fee of 15 million in the trilogy, take retreat as advance, and change some of the things you value.
