Chapter 003: Script Value

The messages are mainly quotes for the scripts of two films.

It's only been a week, and more people want to buy the script.

Zhou Chen was happy in his heart, and opened them one by one to see.

"Hello, screenwriter Gu Yu, I am Xu Hua from the Chunyu Film and Television Investment Department, I am very interested in your "Crazy Stone", and I am willing to buy out the full copyright at a price of 480,000, please reply in time......"

"Hello, screenwriter Gu Yu, I am Dong Meida, director of popular film and television cultural investment. Interested in both of your scripts, we can ...... privately if you wish"

"Hello ......"

Zhou Chen quickly flipped through it, and read more than forty pieces of information quickly.

The highest bid for "Crazy Stone" has reached 600,000, and the highest bid for "The Great Wall" is as high as 1.2 million for a buyout.

Zhou Chen is just a newly registered screenwriter, and such an offer has caught up with the market price of a gold medal screenwriter, which shows that the professionalism and vision of these cultural investors are beyond doubt.

The two genres of comedy movies and costume commercial blockbusters have always been popular in the market, and they have performed very well at the box office.

But the price of "The Great Wall" is twice that of "Crazy Stone", and Zhou Chen is a little dissatisfied.

The evaluations of the two movies in the system are 8.5 and 6.2 respectively, which are the ratings of the movie as a whole, and are based on the scores of the script, director, actors, photography, editing, soundtrack, sound effects, costumes, and makeup.

Generally, film festival awards are mainly based on the nine parts of the film.

If the two films are judged on the script alone, the score difference is even greater: the script of "Crazy Stone" is as high as 8, while "The Great Wall" is only 3.6.

A script is the book of a play.

The creation of movies revolves around the script, and such a poor will naturally affect the quality of the whole movie.

"Crazy Stone", a black humor comedy, has a very high overall standard, especially the actors' performances add a lot of points to the movie.

The script of "The Great Wall" is full of routines, full of loopholes, without the support of a good story, and there are elements such as fighting monsters, adventure, Chinese and Western combinations, and gorgeous scenes, it is like a gorgeous robe, which is crawling with lice.

Now these professional cultural investors are quoting the two scripts in reverse, which shows that they are still more optimistic about the commercial value of "The Great Wall".

The Great Wall is the business card of China, the Eight Wonders of the World, famous all over the world, and the costume fantasy movie of the same name has the potential to develop into a big IP.

In particular, the script story combines Chinese and Western, and there are big scenes such as adventure, monster fighting, and ancient fantasy wars, which are all good selling points.

In addition, the large scale of investment in commercial blockbusters can stimulate the film market and stimulate the audience's demand for movies.

Although Zhou Chen is a junior director and has not really made a movie, he probably understands the truth of this.

But if "Crazy Stone" had only this offer, he was a little reluctant to sell it.

The teaching videos in the system,There are also films that will be opened in the next stage,These can't be plagiarized at will.,Use one less one.,If you want to use more, you need to redeem system points.。

In the past year, Zhou Chen has simulated the shooting of 100 teaching films, and has accumulated a total of 26 points, while it takes 50 points to redeem the copyright of a movie.

After he learns each film, he can only pass the test if the shooting reaches the level of the original film, and the systematic evaluation of the simulated film can get two points if it has more than 9 points, and one point for every 0.1 points higher.

In the past year, Zhou Chen has simulated shooting at least ten times in each film, and only 11 films have exceeded 9 points, accumulating this point.

This shows the difficulty of obtaining system points and system film copyrights.

At the beginning of the system, the copyright of the two films "Crazy Stone" and "The Great Wall" was given, apparently hoping that he would use it while learning, training in the system while practicing in reality.

If he has enough resources, he can also try to shoot a commercial blockbuster like "The Great Wall".

On the contrary, he can only shoot "Crazy Stone".

With a budget of 3.6 million, he can borrow, take out a loan, or use this excellent script to attract investment, and he can also successfully start the project.

It's really not good, he can still sell the script of "The Great Wall" and raise some money to shoot "Crazy Stone".

In any case, the system doesn't want him to be a copyright wholesaler, so it strictly controls him from plagiarizing movies at will

For the system not prompting him this, Zhou Chen could only consider himself unlucky.

Who made him feel guilty this year because of that incident, the pressure was too great, and it was inevitable that things would be too extreme, and if he wanted to grow up quickly, he only knew how to learn in the system and ignored these.

Even the system is impatient to listen to the sound of the system, and only let the system display text communication.

This led to an increase in the difficulty of the first task of the system.

Fortunately, he did not waste time this year, and completed the 100 teaching videos without distraction, completing the task of the teaching stage one year ahead of schedule.

Although the two-year time is tight, he can still choose two films from 100 teaching films, and the choice has increased, which can be regarded as a kind of compensation.

"Thinking about something, I kept staring at the computer in a daze. ”

Zhou Chen was staring at the computer thinking about the two films to choose, and he didn't know when Gu Xiaojiao came behind him.

"Oh, nothing. Zhou Xia hurriedly moved the mouse and quickly minimized the script network.

"What did you do?" Gu Xiaojiao saw Zhou Chen's small movements, came over and grabbed the mouse to open the webpage.

"Zhou Chen, you, have you already published the script?"

Seeing Zhou Chen's script network account and two scripts, Gu Xiaojiao was pleasantly surprised, and finally a little dissatisfied.

"Well, I wanted to tell you when it was actually sold. Zhou Chen hurriedly explained.

"Hmph, I've been worried about you so much for a year, but you hide everything from me!"

Gu Xiaojiao pouted and said, driving Zhou Chen up: "I'll take a look first, if the writing is good, I'll spare you, otherwise don't think about me in the future!"

"I'm really not sincere, I don't have confidence, and I want to surprise you. Zhou Chen had no choice but to stand aside and explain.

"Don't talk too much, go wash an apple for me first...... , I'll go - 1.2 million!"

Gu Xiaojiao was talking angrily, and when he saw the quotation news, he couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.

"Ahem......" Zhou Chen coughed and reminded him to pay attention to the image.

"What's wrong with your throat, if it's inflamed, eat more fruits, and if it doesn't work, go buy watermelon cream. Gu Xiaojiao quickly switched back to goddess mode.

"Okay, I'll go wash the fruit, but now that you've seen the script, I don't need to go to you tomorrow in the morning. ”

"It depends on how your script is, besides, you've been at home for a year, so it's good to go out with me tomorrow. ”

"Good, good, good, I owe you. ”

"It meant to be. ”

By the time Zhou Chen left, Gu Xiaojiao had already covered his mouth happily and snickered when he saw that there were so many people offering from the two scripts.

This bastard is like that, he likes to hide everything in his heart, and he must teach him a lesson this time, otherwise he will hide everything from her in the future.

Zhou Chen went out to get the apples that Gu Xiaojiao bought, and thought about the previous things while washing them.

Among the 100 instructional films, there are 15 small-budget films, some of which are several scenes, several actors, and some are even one scene and one actor.

The ratings of these films are very high, and from his professional point of view, it is obvious that the investment cost is not high, but he doesn't know how to perform at the box office.

However, he doesn't seem to have a choice now, it's all risky attempts, so if you make one more film, the chances of success will naturally increase.

Therefore, it is best for him to choose this kind of film with low cost, short investment cycle, and quick results.

"Buried Alive", "Chainsaw", "Three Fools in Bollywood", "This Man is from Earth", "Drug War", "Charlotte Troubles", ......

Zhou Chen was thinking about the two films to choose, and couldn't help but think of the system he had offended, and took the initiative to make him a realistic cost budget for the film, and he didn't seem to be too angry with him, so he couldn't help but try to pass his thoughts to the system.
