Yao Ding is also difficult, if he offers a low price, who knows if Lin Xiao will be satisfied?

And anyway, it was Tianhua Pictures' money, if he lost, he would have to leave, but if he won, his sky-high price to buy the script would have become the wisest decision.

Therefore, Yao Ding directly offered a copywriting fee, which can be called the highest sky-high screenwriting fee in China, even Lin Xiao had to marvel that Yao Ding was really hard enough this time.

20 million Chinese dollars, although this price is definitely a high price in China, it is not enough to surprise Lin Xiao.

The key is the 10% box office share in the back, which made Lin Xiao a little surprised.

Know that it's a box office share, not a profit share.

It is conceivable that Yao Ding opened such a price code, definitely paying more attention to data than profit.

Maybe some Hollywood celebrities abroad can get a 2+1 contract, but in China, this kind of salary, and it is also a screenwriter's fee, which is terrifying.

It's not an exaggeration to call it the first day price.

Of course, it is obvious that Yao Ding's unexpected price code also gave Lin Xiao a problem.

People offered such a high price, and it was only a screenwriter, not a director or actor or something, so this script must not be bad, otherwise, it would be Lin Xiao smashing his own signboard.

"Mr. Yao, you have a problem for me. Lin Xiao looked at Yao Ding and said with a smile.

"How can it be a problem? I think your script is worth the price!" Yao Ding was quite proud of his decision.

Although if this price is announced, he will definitely be questioned countless times, but he can't care about it anymore.

If there is no achievement, Tianhua Pictures will not have much to do with him, and the money, 20 million is not much, the more is the back 10%, but this 10% is based on the box office.

And Yao Ding felt that Lin Xiao would definitely not let this sky-high script become the existence of smashing his signature, so he would definitely come up with a script that was worth the price.

Lin Xiao thought for a while, then took out the three scripts he had prepared and put them in front of Yao Ding, and said with a smile: "Since Mr. Yao is so sincere, then I will repay the favor, I have three scripts here, and Mr. Yao can choose one from them." ”

Yao Ding was a little stunned at this moment, Nima, what's the situation?

And let yourself choose one of them? What does this mean? It shows that he thinks it is a sky-high script fee, but here in Lin Xiao, there are 3 scripts that he thinks can be worth the price he offered?

Although Yao Ding was skeptical, he still picked up the first script.

In the first script, although Yao Ding is not a professional, it means that he is not proficient in making movies, which does not mean that he has no vision.

Soon, Yao Ding was immersed in the script.

After reading the story of the first script, Yao Ding sighed in his heart, worthy of being a famous and vain man.

This first script is a script for a Chinese costume film, but it is very different from many costume movies nowadays, and the creativity is enough, but Yao Ding is a little worried, what will be the market performance of such a film?

After all, this kind of script, or costume-themed movie, has really not had too high-profile performances in China in the past few years, so he is a little entangled.

The script and story are indeed very good, but if there is not a good story, it will definitely be able to sell well, especially with this theme.

It doesn't seem to be so popular in the current film market.

Yao Ding estimated that the cost of this script will not be too high, but it will definitely not be low, especially some of the scenes described in it, if you want to do it well, it is also a money-burning thing, but he doesn't have too many concerns about this, but he is a little worried about the box office ceiling of this kind of film.

What he needs most now is not profit, but data, a data that looks good to the outside world, and although the first script in his hand is also good, but at this time, it is definitely not his best choice.

Putting down the first script, Yao Ding picked up the second script.

This second script, the title of the film made Yao Ding's eyes shine, a very atmospheric title.

Yao Ding began to watch it, this is a movie that runs through decades, the story is actually not complicated, and it is also very attractive.

And there are very few such movies on the market at present, although there is no similar reference, but this is a huge gimmick in itself.

The balance in Yao Ding's heart has begun to favor this second script.

However, there is a third part.

He still patiently picked it up, but soon Yao Ding's face became tangled.

It's not that the third script is bad, but the third script, and it's clear that the location where the story takes place, and the characters, all indicate that this script will be a co-production.

The first two scripts are aimed at the domestic market, while the last script is aimed at the global market.

But this is also what makes Yao Ding the most entangled.

The three scripts are all very good, if there were only the first two scripts, he would undoubtedly choose the second script, but with the third script, he began to struggle.

Because so far, Sino-US co-productions, in fact, strictly speaking, have not been successful.

And just experienced a defeat that was enough to break Tianhua's muscles and bones, and suddenly let Tianhua start this kind of co-production project again, he is really a little lacking in confidence.

But this script is completely different from the scripts of previous co-productions, because in this script, it can be said that there are two protagonists, and in Lin Xiao's description, it can be obvious that a Chinese star and a foreign star can play together.

The scenes between the two can be said to be indistinguishable, and it is best for Chinese and foreign actor-level stars to have a peak showdown.

This is the biggest difference from previous co-productions, which are often difficult to balance in terms of the focus of the roles, and the Chinese audience actually hates those the most, find a Chinese star, make a cameo in it, and then hype that the other party is the starring role or something.

And what about co-productions? In many cases, the difficulty lies in the balance of the plot.

If the role starring a star who is too biased towards foreign countries, the domestic audience will definitely have opinions, but if it is too biased towards the domestic star protagonist, then it will be a little uncomfortable with the overseas market.

But in Lin Xiao's script, this problem is well solved.

However, the problem now is not here, but that Yao Ding is a little unsure of convincing the board.

Because if you choose this third film, then the investment is definitely not a small amount, and he has just failed once before, it is difficult to give people confidence.

Lin Xiao took out these three scripts, in Lin Xiao's opinion, they are all worth the price, of course, this refers to the script itself, as for the effect of filming, it depends on the director's skills and investment amount.
