Chapter 123: Turning Back
"Rong Yao? Director Kong contacted me again. Say you want to talk. ”
A few days later, just a few days.
Haiyan called Rong Yao to inform him of the incident. In fact, I asked for the price the next day. Don't look at the author's qualifications, just read the script, it's hard to say more, at least 100,000 per episode. Of course, some plot settings could be better, or the lines could be more elaborate, but these are not the main problems, and they can be changed.
But the story, as well as the elements of the design, as well as the architecture, are worth the price.
Of course, I was asked, and I was also interested in the script. It's just that Liu Xiaoyun said that it is not for sale, at least not for the time being. The other party is not entangled, and it is estimated that he will inquire behind his back. That's for sure, but it's not Liu Xiaoyun's business.
After Rong Yao roughly knew the bottom of his heart, Haiyan's call came.
Rong Yao thought to himself, no one is stupid. It is estimated that Kong Chen received the rumor that Chi Guoguo would eat back the grass and slap his face, and he estimated that when they met, Kong Chen might also beat him up.
And sure enough......
"You really don't know the rules, do you?"
It's still noon in the office place, and it's still the conference room.
Rong Yao, Haiyan, Zhang Ting and Li Ruowen, plus Kong Chen and his assistant.
It's like going back in time, back to the first time we met a few days ago. The number of people is the same, no more, no less, no change, but the situation and attitude of the dialogue are different.
Kong Chen frowned and looked at Rong Yao with a smile, this time he knew that he didn't look at Haiyan.
"The letter of intent is there, even if you tear up resources in the circle, you are used to it, and you have to talk about some rules after all. You guys couldn't be newbies......"
Facing Rong Yao: "It's strange that people despise you for being too young? ”
Rong Yao smiled calmly: "Director Kong, I won't say if I'm a novice first, novices can learn and teach." But what about you? You don't teach or don't teach, and you're glad that we're novices, trying to take advantage of us, when we haven't seen the world. How can this look like a predecessor?"
Kong Chen said casually: "If you don't have the ability yourself, don't blame others for taking advantage." ”
Waving his hand, he said: "These words are boring. ”
looked at Rong Yao: "Okay, now I'll treat you as a mature agent." I'll talk to you and say what you want. It's just that the price is going up, right?"
Rong Yao smiled: "Then it seems that Director Kong has not avoided the news that he has learned that we have privately probed the true value of the script." You can make an offer. ”
The expression was serious: "But don't mention the price according to the agreement before." ”
Kong Chen nodded: "Double, forty thousand episodes, no counteroffer." ”
"Huh. ”
Rong Yao smiled, Haiyan also smiled, Zhang Ting was very calm, and Li Ruowen sat there with her head bowed as always.
Assistant Kong Chen: "Can you be respectful and serious?"
Rong Yao was surprised: "Ah, do you want me to be serious again?" you guys used to joke if you wanted to, just throw your face and leave." ”
looked at Kong Chen: "If you want to be serious and respectful, the premise of the first article before talking is that we will talk to you." What assistant, what secretary, don't interject. ”
Finger pointed at the table: "Our script is good." What qualifications and what experience? This is our negotiating capital. Why else did you ask us to come back? You want respect, and we gave it in the first place. It's because you don't respect us! Not to mention the entertainment industry, there is no such thing as you in the workplace. ”
Kong Chen looked at Rong Yao and just looked at it. Banxiang laughed: "You are really a character, I really underestimate you." ”
Haiyan's tone was calm, after all, it was Kong Chen she knew first: "Director Kong, you don't just underestimate him. I'm serious. ”
Kong Chen looked at Haiyan and nodded to the assistant: "Don't talk yet." ”
The assistant agreed, looking at Rong Yao's gaze, it was complicated.
After thinking about it, Kong Chen spoke: "People offer you 100,000 yuan, do you think it's worth 100,000?"
Rong Yao nodded: "You can talk." But again, let's not talk about going around in circles, I'm actually leaning towards you now if you give up on your own, and the intent agreement is not guaranteed. We can sell it everywhere. The highest bidder wins. The reason why I still talk to you is because of this rule. Because I'm a newcomer, so is Sister Hai. When entering this circle, we pay attention to being cautious and abide by the rules, which does not mean that we are willing to sacrifice anything for this. Neither dignity nor money will work. ”
Kong Chen sighed: "Is it 100,000?
Rong Yao shook his head: "In the end, Sister Hai still recognizes the business ability of the entire team at noon." Her first choice was to sell the script to Noon, after all, the agreement was there. It's not that it's not negotiable...... It still depends on everyone's sincerity. ”
Kong Chen thought for a while and looked at Rong Yao: "The last bite price, double it again." 80,000 episodes. Okay, okay, okay, don't forget it, you like to sell whoever you like, but in this way, offending us is not a threat, right? How good is the script, the industrial chain of this industry, the script is not a part of the status, at least in our country. ”
Rong Yao looked at Haiyan, and Haiyan's eyes were approving.
People said that the price was 100,000, but in fact, it also showed. First of all, it may be that all copyrights have to be sold. Secondly, it's just a hazy price, and there is also a problem with access rights. When it comes to specifics, they will be discounted. Besides, people say that they just read the script without asking the author's qualifications, and there are many flaws.
"Director Kong, I said that this price can be discussed, but we have something to say about the front. ”
Holding Li Ruowan's hand and getting it to the table, Li Ruowen also subconsciously raised her head, Rong Yao looked at Kong Chen: "This is the heroine candidate that Sister Hai and I tailored when we were creating the script." She will be the heroine of the play. ”
"Heh~"
The assistant was ordered not to speak for the first time, but at the moment he was laughing at the same time, he subconsciously looked at Director Kong, whether it was the atmosphere that he should laugh at.
And Kong Chen was not surprised, but he was still stunned when he really brought it up after all. Then he laughed: "Ha~"
Pointing at Rong Yao: "Are you really embarrassed to bring it up?"
Li Ruowan's face was a little red, and Rong Yao subconsciously looked at her: "Eh...... You're going to go out first?"
Li Ruowen didn't speak, or said, didn't make a sound, but looked at Rong Yao, and gave a ...... No.
Rong Yao also ignored it, and looked at Director Kong: "Is there anything wrong with this?"
Director Kong shook his head and pointed at Zhang Ting: "This is the professional lawyer you brought, right?"
Zhang Ting looked at it calmly, and Director Kong spoke: "You tell him, can you put the signing script and the actors in one contract?"
Zhang Ting paused and looked at Rong Yao: "Two different things." There is no legal guarantee. ”
In fact, Han Tang vaguely reminded him before that it was too common for investors, directors, or whatever, to force actors into the crew. Or is there a play that doesn't have such a situation? It's just a matter of how much.
However, there is no explicit side in the contract. Say how much money I will give you, and who you will arrange for me to go in. Or maybe I'll give you some benefit exchange help, and you let whoever play what.
Rong Yao thought for a while, and his tone was sincere: "Director Kong, let's be calm, don't have a confrontational attitude, let me say a few words?"
Kong Chen looked at Rong Yao and lit a cigarette: "You are a character." Buying and selling is not benevolent, not confrontation, I listen to what you want to say. ”
Rong Yao spoke: "That's right. Things on our side are a little more complicated. But there's probably no reason to be involved with you. I just said bluntly, I cooperated with Sister Hai, and I confiscated her money. Even after giving her a busy back, there is only one purpose. ”
grabbed Li Ruowan's shoulders and pushed her to the front: "Let her be the heroine of this play." That's my basic appeal. Of course, I'm not pure, putting conditions to install my own artists, but because I try to be as reasonable as possible. ”
looked at Haiyan: "Sister Hai, how many words do you say?"
Haiyan nodded and looked at Kong Chen: "Director Kong." Maybe you don't know, or even don't believe it. I know why you weren't satisfied with the outline at first. But then the script suddenly went up a few notches, and you should be able to see it. ”
Kong Chen frowned: "This is true, but I thought that the outline was different from the script." Is there a secret?"
Haiyan gestured to Rong Yao: "I asked you out that day, but you weren't there." In fact, he also came, but you called me to say a few words, and he was simply blocked by the front desk at the door that he would not see guests during the lunch break. ”
Kong Chen was stunned, looked at the assistant, and the assistant nodded: "I'll ask later." ”
Kong Chen paused, didn't say much, and motioned for Haiyan to continue.
Haiyan spoke: "Then the two of us met, not to mention the process, almost all the plots and plots that were expanded from the outline, Rong Yao gave me great help." He even said that he could sign it together, and he could write it separately. ”
Kong Chen smiled: "It's a bit exaggerated." ”
Haiyan was helpless: "Director Kong, I am the screenwriter." I am the most resistant to the participation of others in my works, not the real situation, and I will not accept that my works have such a large share of others. ”
Kong Chen paused for a moment and looked at Rong Yao: "Even so, your request is ......"
"Director Kong. ”
Rong Yao politely interrupted: "I'm not a hard stopper. Because I participated in the creation of the creation, it was literally a process of starting something from nothing. The female number one character of the Nihuang County Lord ......"
Rong Yao motioned to Li Ruowu to Kong Chen on the side: "It's simply based on her." It is no exaggeration to say that with a smile and a smile, a three-dimensional body height, a dominant personality, and a ...... walking posture"
your index finger: "Not a single eyelash is bad." ”
Kong Chen looked at Li Ruowen carefully and seriously for the first time, and Li Ruowen also exhaled, straightened up and looked up at Kong Chen.
Kong Chen was noncommittal and looked away.
Rong Yao gestured: "You may go for actresses who invest in Fangsai, such as actresses who you think are suitable, or actresses who are more popular and have better acting skills." ”
Looking at Li Ruowen, Rong Yao looked at Kong Chen: "But if you say that you are looking for an actress according to the script, no one you find will be more suitable than Li Ruowen by my side." Because this is a setting that has been written into the bones when the script was written. ”
Kong Chen nodded: "So, what do you want to express?"
Rong Yao spoke: "You can have any reason to refuse, let's continue to talk, but don't think that this is Sister Hai or me doing something, the same as the nature of the unspoken operation of other investors and unspoken rules, just want to stuff people with the premise of a good script." It's definitely not, of course the purpose is the same. I just want her to play the female lead. ”
Kong Chen smiled again, shook his head and leaned back on his shoulders.
It's just that this laugh didn't feel that Rong Yao was absurd, but Rong Yao felt that the problem had just come.
