Chapter 010: We're all good friends

Gu Xiaojiao saw that Zhou Chen and Qiao Fei had made another bet, and he was not surprised at all, and said with a smile: "Actually, it's okay if you can't get into the theater, the cost of hundreds of thousands, even if you sell it to a video website for a fee, you won't lose money." ”

"Yes, now low-budget movies, if they are novel enough and of good quality, they will definitely be liked by everyone on the Internet. Netflix of the United States, you know, has opened a new model, online movies are watched online, and the filmed movies are not released in theaters, but are directly provided to users on the Internet, for some suitable genres, the effect is indeed better than going to theaters. ”

Xu Ran on the side also nodded in agreement.

"Well, what Brother Ran said is really good, our domestic Kirin, Penguin, and Cat Shadow are three major video websites, and they are about to implement this model, and for now, after some movies are released in theaters, they sell very well on the website for a fee, and some are even higher than the box office of the theater. ”

Zhou Chen nodded thoughtfully, feeling suddenly bright.

It really gave him a new idea.

"This Man is from Earth" is not easy to adapt, after careful consideration, he previously had two ideas for remakes, and now he has another choice, and it seems to be safer.

"Zhou Chen, this is not good, we said before, your movie must only be played on the Internet, then even if you lose, you must, you must ...... , every time you see me, it's called Sister Fei!"

Qiao Fei didn't do it, thought slightly, and said to Zhou Chen.

"Okay, okay, okay, you just wish I failed!" Zhou Chen said speechlessly.

"Okay, okay, let's talk about something else, Qiao Fei, I heard that you are going to participate in "Dream of New Red Mansions", can you reveal any role?"

Gu Xiaojiao diverted the topic and asked with interest.

"Don't mention it, it's too dark, there are unspoken rules everywhere, I can only play a maid. Qiao Fei pouted and said sullenly.

"Isn't this drama your company, doesn't the Internet say that you play an adult Daiyu?" Gu Xiaojiao wondered.

"It's not our company, our boss is just a director, invested by other companies, all the news on the Internet is made up, used for propaganda purposes, the protagonist has long been decided, I play an adult Qingwen!"

"Yes, I think this role is quite suitable for you, Brother Ran, what do you think?" Zhou Chen thought and looked at Xu Ran.

Xu Ran was slightly stunned, seeing that Qiao Fei was about to scold Zhou Chen, he said with a smile: "I am very lucky to be able to participate in this kind of big production, although Qingwen has few character plays, but her personality is distinct, but she is easy to shine, which is very good." ”

"Yes, it's the first of the twelve hairpins of Jinling, the characters are clever, innocent and willful, and very real people. In "Dream of Red Mansions", I don't like Baoyu's amorous luck, Daiyu's delicate and bitter feelings, and Baochai's sophistication, but I like Xiangyun, Qingwen, Xiangling, and other people with real personalities. ”

Zhou Chen continued.

"Hehe, so the characters in the script you write are either stunned, or idealistic, utopian, and stubborn people, and the teacher has always praised you for having a pure heart, hey, I think he just smells like you, that's why he always likes you so much. ”

Qiao Fei couldn't agree with Zhou Chen's opinion at all, and directly attacked Zhou Chen.

In college, she was a child star, she was nothing in front of teachers who were used to seeing big stars, and the teachers didn't give her face at all, at that time Zhou Chen was a scholar, she was a scumbag, but now it's different, and the society doesn't look at that.

"It's funny, you seem to be still worried about school. Zhou Chen couldn't help but laugh.

In school, he has been entrusted by teachers many times to supervise someone's line homework, drama analysis and other homework.

"I don't care anymore, the school will be proud of me in the future anyway. ”

"Hehe, how humble our school is. "Zhou Chen is really happy.

"Ahem, ahem. ”

“……?”

Hearing Zhou Chen's words, Gu Xiaojiao and Xu Ran both reacted differently, forced a smile, and looked at Qiao Fei.

The School of Drama has always been known for producing superstars, and except for a few outstanding alumni, no one really dares to say such things.

"You all underestimate people, don't you, we're all friends!"

Qiao Fei said angrily, took a sip of the coffee that had just come up, but almost screamed out when it was hot.

But she immediately rolled her eyes, looked at Gu Xiaojiao and said, "Xiaojiao, go to my house tonight to accompany me, I will go to Hengdian to film again in three days." ”

"Hmm...... , is this good?" Gu Xiaojiao hesitated slightly, looking at Xu Ran suspiciously.

Zhou Chen also looked at Qiao Fei and Xu Ran gossipingly.

"What kind of eyes do you have, Xu Ran and I are just good friends, don't speculate, okay!" Qiao Fei immediately emphasized loudly.

"Well, we're all good friends. Zhou Chen mended the knife in a timely manner.

"Gu Xiaojiao, can you seal Zhou Chen's mouth!"

"......" Xu Ran also looked at Zhou Chen in amazement, talent.

Qiao Fei has always bullied people, and it was the first time he had seen someone who could make Qiao Fei die at any time.

"Zhou Chen, it's summer vacation soon, you have to find a teacher to help check that script, it's best to hurry. Gu Xiaojiao hurriedly diverted the topic.

"What script?" Qiao Fei and Xu Ran were both interested.

"A black humor story with a funny name, 'Crazy Stone'. Gu Xiaojiao answered for Zhou Chen.

"Crazy ?—— stones?"

Qiao Fei and Xu Ran looked at Zhou Chen with question mark faces.

"The stone is actually a treasure, a priceless jadeite, and an unexpected comedy story revolves around the theft and transfer of jadeite. Zhou Chen briefly introduced.

"Won't it be a small investment of hundreds of thousands this time, and you won't be able to get into the theater, right?" Qiao Fei looked at Zhou Chen suspiciously.

"No, the script Zhou Chen has already been posted on the script online, you can just take a look at it. Gu Xiaojiao said.

"The script network is charged to read the script, you won't be selling it to him, right?" Qiao Fei wondered.

The script network can only read one chapter for free, and if you want to continue reading, you have to register an account to pay to watch, and the price is very expensive, the newcomer screenwriter will pay 100 yuan per thousand words, and the bigger the screenwriter, the more expensive the price.

This also provides income for those screenwriters, but few new screenwriters go to see it, even if the price is high, there is not much income, and they still can't support themselves.

Qiao Fei was very suspicious of Gu Xiaojiao's motives, and if she really went to see it, it would seem a bit embarrassing if she didn't give a reward or anything.

"Absolutely not, there are dozens of Wentou people bidding, and the highest price is 600,000. Gu Xiaojiao waved his hand to explain, and there was a faint pride in his words.

This time it was Qiao Fei's turn and Xu Ran to be surprised.

"600,000? Did you say a 0 more?" Qiao Fei was a little surprised, but still didn't believe it.

Although she rarely goes on the script network, she often reads the script and probably understands the market.

In contrast, movie scripts are all short and less expensive than TV scripts.

But this is purely because of the low word count.

After all, the script of a TV series is 20,000 or 30,000 words per episode, and it is often hundreds of thousands or millions of words, and the movie script is only 350,000 words.

is also a gold medal screenwriter, a movie script is around 800,000, and the highest TV drama script is 2 million.

However, this situation is changing, especially with the gradual formation of the play-centered system in recent years, the weight of screenwriters has obviously increased.

Although it is far from catching up with the absolute king status of Korean and American screenwriters in the production of TV dramas, it is also a rising position in terms of discourse and status.

Zhou Chen's first script is so expensive, it is indeed an exaggeration.

"Why lie to you, you can check it online with your mobile phone now. Gu Xiaojiao said helplessly.

Qiao Fei and Xu Ran looked at it suspiciously, and each took out their mobile phones to open the search script network and then read it.

Sure enough, I saw that the fourth most popular script in the script ranking was "Crazy Stone".

Looking at the screenwriter's name 'Gu Yu', the surrender is a real photo of Zhou Chen, and both of them are stunned.

Since this thing is true, it means that Zhou Chen is indeed talented in screenwriting, he was so successful the first time, and others are still so young, so he will be able to pay it back later?

Thinking like this, Qiao Fei and Xu Ran's eyes lit up.

"Why do you look at me like this, you want to fight the autumn wind? You have more than 100,000 yuan in a TV series, and more than a few million in a movie, right?"

Zhou Chen was stared at by these two people, and said with some trepidation.
