Chapter 380: Drawing wages from the bottom of the cauldron
When the major film and television media companies in the imperial capital were surging because of the copyright of an outdoor variety reality show, and they were fighting openly and secretly, Deng Chao was continuing to polish the script of "The Breakup Master" in his own home, thousands of miles away in the magic capital.
Although "Breakup Master" claims to be adapted from the original drama, Deng Chao, as one of the directors and project initiators, deeply knows how big the "adaptation" of his "Breakup Master" is.
To put it mildly, except that the names of the heroes and heroines are still 'Mei Yuangui' and 'Ye Xiaochun', this script has nothing to do with the original drama.
However, this does not seem to be a problem, because Yu Baimei, the screenwriter of the drama version, also served as the screenwriter of the movie version......
The original author didn't speak, what position do others have to spray this script without restoration?
Looking at his watch, Deng Chao looked in the direction of the gate with some confusion.
According to the time they agreed, Yu Baimei should have arrived a long time ago.
As a partner who has been working with Yu Baimei, Deng Chao knows that guy has always had a sense of time, and there is neither a phone call nor a text message like today, and he is inexplicably late, but there has never been a thing.
Just as Deng Chao was about to make a phone call to ask what the situation was, the doorbell of Deng Chao's house rang.
"Old Yu, what kind of plane are you doing," Deng Chao rushed over and opened the door, "If you don't come again, I'll call the police, uh......"
What embarrassed Deng Chao was that in addition to Yu Baimei, there was also a middle-aged man outside the door who Deng Chao didn't know.
"Chao, let me introduce you, this is Liu Xianjun in charge of the film section of Guanglu Media," Yu Baimei smiled and played the round, "Mr. Liu, this is Deng Chao......"
Before Bai Mei finished his introduction, Liu Xianjun politely stretched out his hand, "Brother Chao has long admired his name, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”
Out of politeness, Deng Chao still reached out and shook the other party, and at the same moment, his brain began to spin quickly - the people from Guanglu Media appeared here, what was the matter with him?
Could it be because of the breach of contract in "The Four Famous Catches"?
Since Deng Chao starred in "Chinese Partner", his relationship with Li Mo can be called friends, plus Mo Long was able to sign a contract with Liu Yifei, Deng Chao can be regarded as a bit of a recommendation, so after Li Mo persuaded Liu Yifei to quit the crew of "The Four Famous Catches", he also mentioned to Deng Chao that he was not optimistic about this series......
After Deng Chao went back, he thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to follow in Liu Yifei's footsteps, and also withdrew from the "Four Famous Catches" series......
But that was a few months ago.
"Could it be that Guanglu Media can't figure it out when it goes back, and it takes many months before it plans to continue to hold accountable?"
Deng Chao muttered in a low voice, and finally politely let the two into the house.
After pouring a cup of tea for each of them, Deng Chao sat down on the sofa and asked straightforwardly: "Mr. Liu, if I remember correctly, I have already negotiated with your company's legal department about "The Four Famous Catches", ......
""The Four Famous Catches"?" Liu Xianjun didn't seem to know what Deng Chao was talking about, he frowned in surprise, and said: "It turns out that Mr. Deng has resigned from the role of ruthlessness, it's really regrettable, you don't know, I'm your fan, your performance in "The Four Famous Catches" is really impressive." ”
"Deep, you yarn!
Although Deng Chao had a smile on his face, he really had 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping past in his heart.
"Labor and management are obviously cold-blooded in the movie, Liu Yifei is ruthless, and he doesn't even understand the role of labor and management, you dare to say that it is a movie fan!"
Squinted and peeked at Yu Baimei again, the guy seemed to know that there was something wrong with this sentence, and he couldn't help but laugh at this time.
"Hehe, hehe, it's okay, it's okay. Deng Chao still didn't understand the purpose of this guy's coming today, so he could only continue to divert the topic with a smile on his face, "There will be a long time in the future, and sooner or later I will have the opportunity to cooperate with your Guanglu Media." ”
"Mr. Deng, when it comes to cooperation, there is an opportunity right now," Liu Xianjun seemed to be afraid that Deng Chao would not hear clearly, so he repeated his words again, "Guanglu Media wants to invest in the book "Breakup Master" jointly created by you and screenwriter Yu. ”
After listening to Liu Xianjun's words, although the smile on Deng Chao's face was still undiminished, he was already on guard against Bai Mei in his heart.
Since the time when the two sides cooperated to create the script, Yu Baimei has repeatedly expressed his desire to become a director, either explicitly or implicitly, if it weren't for Deng Chao's first step to get in touch with Li Mo and Molong Media, and raised the 50 million funds needed to shoot the movie, Yu Baimei would definitely not be satisfied with the position of a screenwriter + assistant director.
But the question is, now that Deng Chao has signed a relevant investment agreement with Mo Long on behalf of the organizers of "Breakup Master", Yu Baimei also attended at the time, and he is now bringing people from the film sector of Guanglu Media to the door, what is this guy going to do?
"It's really an honor to be valued by Guanglu Media," Deng Chao was alarmed, but he still maintained his basic demeanor, "But maybe Mr. Liu doesn't know that we have signed investment and issuance agreements with other companies, so I can't accept your company's invitation." ”
As soon as Deng Chao's words fell, Yu Baimei, who was sitting quietly as a chicken, immediately couldn't sit still, and he hurriedly gave Deng Chao a constant look, signaling him not to say the words to death as soon as he came up......
…… Deng Chao turned a blind eye to Yu Baimei's movements......
Although Deng Chao can say this kind of thing, it can basically be understood as a complete refusal, but Liu Xianjun is obviously prepared today, otherwise he would not be able to say that he will be moved by Bai Mei to come forward to recommend.
"Mr. Deng may have been polishing the script at home recently, so there is a situation that I don't know, Molong Media is currently said to have some problems with the flow of funds, and has begun to raise funds by transferring the copyright in his hand. ”
After a slight pause, Liu Xianjun continued: "Mr. Deng, if you are willing to cooperate with our Guanglu Media, then I can assure you now that not only can we help you pay the liquidated damages on Molong's side, but also other aspects will also receive our full support." ”
"Not only the budget, but also the actors, and the script can be decided by you, and even in terms of the division between the director and the actors, we can re-study the ......"
At this time, Yu Baimei finally couldn't help but jump out, "Yes, tide, the conditions on this side of the light path are really good, you can really think about it." ”
Although he vetoed it in his heart, Deng Chao was not an idiot after all, and it was not a smart move to repeatedly refute Guanglu Media's face, so he finally nodded and replied: "Okay, I'll think about it for two days." ”
Speaking of this, Deng Chao glanced at Yu Baimei again, and then said: "I will let Lao Yu convey the specific results." ”
Hmph, I brought someone to the door without saying hello, I really thought I couldn't do it without you?
Since you like to talk so much, let's be my microphone and buffer again!
