Chapter 20: You Gotta Give Money (Ask for Collections and Recommendations!)

Li Xiang bowed slightly, signed the boy's name, returned to his seat, and took a sip of coffee.

Chen Shiyu was already trembling with excitement.

She is a second-tier star, and her popularity has been declining in recent years, and this year is also her last struggle.

If it doesn't work, it is estimated that some lace news will be created to gain popularity, but Chen Shiyu does not like this way.

After spending a lot of money and working hard in the company, I finally got such an opportunity to release an album.

But the effect was still not good, and the company didn't give her a few good songs.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to Li Xiang to write songs.

I came with the attitude of trying, but I didn't expect Li Xiang to write such an excellent song.

And, it took less than 5 minutes!

"Mr. Li, I take back my previous words, I want this song from you!" Chen Shiyu said excitedly.

She is also a lyricist herself, so she understands how terrifying Li Xiang's skills are to be able to write such a song in such a short time!

Li Xiang smiled slightly, waved his hand gently, and said calmly: "Miss Chen, I'm afraid your chips are not enough to exchange for my song." ”

Chen Shiyu hesitated slightly, and then said: "The sales share of this song can give you seventy percent." ”

It is impossible to solve this song alone, everyone understands people, and doing business is about sincerity.

Li Xiang still shook his head, Chen Shiyu frowned slightly, and said: "Mr. Li, this is already my biggest concession, you have to continue to open your mouth, I don't have to do this song!"

Li Xiang was slightly stunned, and said with a smile: "Miss Chen, I'm afraid you misunderstood me, I don't want the song to be divided, you have to give cash!"

"How much?"

"300,000!"

"What!" Chen Shiyu said in surprise.

Her whole person was instantly unwell, and this exclamation attracted the dissatisfied eyes of the guests.

She smiled apologetically, sat down, leaned forward slightly, and said with a look of disbelief:

"Do you know what the price of a song is for a first-class lyricist now? 350,000 yuan! Why should I spend so much money to buy one of your songs?!"

Li Xiang shook his head slightly, did not speak, and Zhang Wenshan sighed secretly.

In this negotiation, from the very beginning, Chen Shiyu lost completely.

"Then Miss Chen might as well invite Gao Ming, I will also ask Director Sun Yadong for dinner in a while, so I won't accompany you first. After Li Xiang finished speaking, he immediately got up and was about to leave.

Chen Shiyu grabbed his arm directly with some gaffes.

"Wait, Mr. Li! Actually, I think the price can still be discussed!"

Li Xiang sat down again and began to talk to Chen Shiyu about the price.

He didn't plan to release this song at such a high price.

Li Xiang is also the first time to write a song for others, and he doesn't know the market, so he can only give an approximate price according to the popularity of the song in his previous life.

Zhang Wenshan, who was on the side, heard Sun Yadong's name, and his eyelids couldn't stop jumping.

The director of this film and television industry also has a dinner with him?!

Zhang Wenshan's eyes kept flickering, no wonder he has been refusing to sign a contract with China Entertainment, it turns out that he has a background!

Pinghai Film and Television Company, the most authoritative and powerful film and television company in the industry.

The entertainment industry in this time and space is a little different from the previous life, and ordinary entertainment companies will not get involved in the film and television industry.

is only responsible for variety entertainment, and the sale of albums of stars, etc.

If you want to film, the film and television company will come to you and talk to the star in person, and the company will not be able to share the money!

This is also the reason why in this day and age, there are no good movies and TV series.

Without the traffic popularity of big-name stars, no matter how good the script is and how good the actors' acting skills are, it is useless.

So much so that some film and television companies directly train actors who specialize in acting, and rarely have dealings with entertainment companies.

"It's a pity that someone who is so talented in writing lyrics is going to film. Zhang Wenshan shook his head inaudibly and sighed secretly.

The price here has finally been negotiated, and I have to say that a woman's ability to bargain is really not to be underestimated.

Directly cut the price of the song by one-third!

The negotiation ended with 200,000 Chinese dollars, and the two hurriedly signed the contract.

Zhang Wenshan stood up and chuckled: "Xiao Li, don't worry, I will definitely do this for you beautifully, and you can participate in the competition normally tomorrow!"

"Then there's work. ”

Out of the coffee shop, Li Xiang looked at the text message on his mobile phone reminding him of the arrival of 200,000, and he was also in a trance.

This money...... It's better than you imagined!

With start-up capital, and then making a low-cost word-of-mouth movie in the previous life, this first step can be regarded as a step!

Li Xiang clenched his fists and drove to the Baroque.

Sun Yadong has devoted his life to the filming of film and television dramas.

He has been a director for more than 30 years and is also very experienced.

Two days ago, my old man's comrades-in-arms came to the house as a guest and recommended a novel to the old man.

At this time, he lit a barrel of explosives, and said that he wanted him to buy the script and film.

I thought it was a farce, but when he really finished reading the unfinished novel, he smelled something unusual.

That's why he wanted to meet the author in person.

has been filming anti-Japanese TV dramas for many years, what script haven't you read?

But for the first time, there are very few that can make him feel immersed and enthusiastic.

And this bright sword brought him a strong sense of history, not to mention, but also inspired the blood that was about to disappear in the heart of this director who was over fifty years old.

"Hello, Director Sun, I am Li Xiang. ”

Li Xiang stretched out his hand with some restraint.

Sun Yadong was dressed in casual clothes, but the sharp and unbearable momentum on his body could not be hidden.

Especially a pair of eyes, there is no sense of decaying wood in the eyes of ordinary old people.

"Hello, Xiao Li, I'm Sun Yadong. ”

Tsai carefully looked at the young man in front of him, he was neither humble nor arrogant, his image was good, and he was indeed a good material.

Sun Yadong secretly sighed, with a kind face.

The two chatted a few words before bringing the topic to the script.

Sun Yadong coughed lightly a few times, and asked solemnly: "Xiao Li, I have already read your novel, I think it is very good, you also said it on the phone, and the finished book is about 400,000 words." ”

"I also want to confirm with you the specific time for handing over the script, and we can also prepare, and we will not treat you badly in terms of price. ”

Li Xiang pondered for a while before he spoke: "Now I still have about 50,000 words of manuscript in my hand, if I hurry up and catch up with the progress, I can deliver the manuscript on the first day of next month." ”

At this time, it was the middle of July, and the manuscript of 300,000 words was rushed in half a month, and the amount of work was not small.

"I don't know how much Director Sun thinks this script is worth?" asked Li Xiang with a smile.

Sun Yadong took out a contract directly from his bag and said: "The whole TV series is filmed, that is, about 30 episodes, and we want to buy it for 5,000 yuan per episode!"
