When Liu Pian arrived at the Jiangcheng Hotel, it was already 4:50 in the afternoon. Ten minutes early, I don't want to end up in the name of missing the appointment.

On the phone, Zedong's people told Liu Pian that he was in a black suit and a brown briefcase on the table in the northeast corner of the café on the second floor. With these points, Liu Pian reached the second floor and easily found a place.

"Hello, uncle, you're the person in charge of Zedong, right?"

"I am, are you Liu Pian?" the uncle with a thin layer of stubble on his chin looked at the young man in disbelief. This is the author of "Dark War", and he is too young, right?

"Well, it's me. ”

"You may be seated. The uncle invited Liu Pian to sit down, "My surname is Zhang, and my single name is Han." If you want something to drink, I'll order it for you. ”

"Thank you, I'll just drink milk tea. Liu Pian squinted and smiled, he didn't know what to drink, but he often drank milk tea at the school gate, and he thought this thing was not bad, but he didn't know if milk tea was better in this kind of high-grade coffee shop.

"Okay. Zhang Han called the waiter and ordered a cup of Hong Kong-style milk tea for Liu Pian.

When someone was ordering something, Liu Pian secretly looked at the uncle's side face. Thin, with yellow and black skin, it feels like it is sunburned, and its hair looks a little oily, and it is combed to the back of the head, leaving a square head. He spoke slowly and methodically, with a expressionless face, as if in his eyes, everything was at his fingertips.

Liu Pian suddenly felt a little cowardly, feeling that this uncle was not easy to deal with. I had already called my mother, who worked in the court, to come over.

But Liu Pian didn't want her parents to get involved in this matter, first, her mother was involved, so she couldn't get the money by herself. The second is that Liu Pian feels that she is an adult and does not need to say hello to her parents for everything. That would seem like he was too weak, and he didn't have any ability to be independent.

In fact, Liu Pian felt that the first point was more important, her mother came, and she would definitely not get the money. I have to learn from my dad and hide more private money.

Holding the milk tea, Liu Pian buried her head and drank it carefully, not knowing what the process of signing this contract was, or waiting for others to speak.

Zhang Han was also a little surprised, this kid was so young, he could hold his breath.

"How old are you?"

"Eighteen. Liu Pian smiled slightly, "Don't worry, I can sign the contract by myself." ”

"Are you sure you can sign the contract yourself?" Can you understand the contract?" Zhang Han didn't want to despise Liu Pian, but the person in front of him was too young, and the hair underneath hadn't grown yet.

"No problem, I understand. "Liu Pian didn't lie to others, she followed her mother and heard a little, and she still understands a little bit. One sells, the other buys, whatever, ask the price first, and then go back and ask the professionals.

Liu Pian still knows some lawyers, of course, this is all through her mother.

I can't tell my mother that this is my own contract, otherwise with my mother's character, I really can't get the money, and I will die for hundreds of pocket money, and the rest of the money is estimated to be kept by my mother, and then said that it is used to marry my daughter-in-law.

Zhang Han bowed his head slightly, took out the contract from his briefcase, and handed it to Liu Pian.

"In that case, let's take a look at this contract first. ”

Liu Pian held the contract and was a little puzzled, "Shouldn't we negotiate the price first and then sign the contract?"

"This is a contract template, the price has been left blank, just negotiate and write it. ”

"Oh. ”

Liu Pian opened the contract and pretended to look at it. He was confused about many professional details, but he understood the general meaning. That is to say, people want to buy out the film adaptation rights of "Dark War" at one time.

After reading it, Liu Pian turned her mind around, and felt that she should pretend to be a little more atmospheric, so that people could not see that she was short of money.

Knocking on the table, Liu Pian learned from Zhang Han, nodded calmly, and even imitated others in tone, plain and bland.

"The contract is fine. "There's no more to it after that.

Zhang Han was more calm than Liu Pian, "Since Mr. Liu has no objection to the contract, then we can discuss the specific price." ”

"Don't worry, let's talk about the script of "Dark War" first. Liu Pian suddenly showed an embarrassed expression and sighed, "Mr. Zhang, I won't tell you, I like to watch police and gangster movies in Xiangjiang since I was a child, and at that time I watched CDs, rented one for two yuan, and rented it once or twice a week. So I watched a lot, and I wanted to write a story about a police movie. So three years ago, I started to conceive the story of "Dark War", and it took me three whole years to finally complete the script not long ago. ”

The corners of Zhang Han's mouth twitched slightly, and he wrote for three years? What does this kid want to express....

[Deception successful, gain 8 deception points]

Hearing the voice of the system, Liu Pian's expression became even more embarrassed, "Mr. Zhang, you don't know, I don't know how much effort I put into this script, and even my studies have been delayed." Originally, I was at the top of my grades, just because I thought about this script, but now I have become the last in the class. Alas, I really put too much effort into the script of "Dark War". Now that I have the privilege of being adapted into a movie, I really can't express the excitement in my heart. Mr. Zhang, you should understand my feelings, right? After three years of sharpening the knife, it is finally unsheathed today. ”

"Uh....." Zhang Han's expression became more and more strange, and he nodded, expressing sympathy, "I understand, every script is the author's hard work." ”

[Deception successful, gain 4 deception points]

Liu Pian waved his hand and sighed lonely, "So, I don't want my hard work to be wasted, but with Dongze's strength, I believe that I will be able to express the picture in my mind perfectly." Again, I can't thank you enough!"

As he spoke, Liu Pian grabbed Zhang Han's hand, shook it a few times, and said sincerely, "Thank you, Mr. Zhang." ”

"You're welcome, Mr. Liu's writing is really good, so let's talk about the price now...."

"Oh, how much does it hurt to talk about money now?" Liu Pian raised his face with righteousness, then picked up the milk tea and took a sip, "Let's continue to talk about the script of the dark war, it's not that I lied to you, there are many plots in this script that I think are good, such as ....."

Zhang Han: "....."

He has a bit of a headache, after talking about the contract for so many years, it is the first time he has seen such a seller, why are there so many words, and he can talk about a topic for a long time.

After listening for more than ten minutes, Zhang Han finally couldn't help it, "Stop!"

"Whew~~" Liu Pian took a sip of milk tea, listened to the sound of constant prompts in his head, and nodded, "Okay, let me rest for a while, and continue later." ”

The truth is false, the false is true, and this deception point is not too easy to earn.

Zhang Han's face was a little dark, "This... Let's negotiate the contract first, and then talk about the rest. ”

"That's fine, so be it. ”

Seizing this opportunity, Zhang Han said decisively, "200,000, buy out the film adaptation rights of "Dark War". ”

200,000 ?!!

Liu Pian was shocked by this price, a newcomer's script, can get a price of 100,000, which is already good. Before coming, Liu Pian took the time to look up some information on the Internet. At present, newcomers are generally tens of thousands of yuan, and some rookies even only have a few thousand yuan of cabbage price.

Some well-known screenwriters can get millions.

How much can you get, in addition to the quality of the script itself, it also depends on the reputation of the screenwriter and the total investment of the movie. If the total investment of a movie is only 10 million, even if the script is written by a big screenwriter, it will not sell for several million. However, when he became a big screenwriter, it was not the producer who picked the script, but which producer their screenwriter was optimistic about.

The more you invest, the more the script sells! Generally speaking, this is a proportional relationship.

Liu Pian checked the information, and naturally knew this, so she avoided the topic of 200,000 yuan, and asked instead, "May I ask, how much does your company plan to invest in making this movie?"

Investment? Zhang Han smiled bitterly in his heart, how can there be any investment that is not invested, now it is just to collect the script first. There are many people in charge like himself, but he doesn't count which script he wants to shoot in the end. This takes into account elements such as the company, the director, the film market, and many others.

A script written by a newcomer may not be read by the company's top management.

In a word, the script was bought back with the company's budget, and it was not certain whether it would be filmed or not. Now Dongze will waste a few scripts every year, and they may be filmed in the future, or they may never be filmed. Of course, this is basically for newcomer screenwriters, and the scripts of big screenwriters will not be treated like this.

Zhang Han thought that "Dark War" was a very good script, so he came to Jiangcheng from Xiangjiang thousands of miles away, hoping to buy the copyright and go back to explain to the company. The company has indicators, if he can be selected as the highest index and invest a lot of money in shooting, as the person in charge, he can also have a rich reward, and his status in the company will also rise.

But he obviously won't tell Liu Pian about these things, at least not yet.

"Sorry, the investment amount is undecided for the time being. ”

"That's right. Liu Pian narrowed her eyes, and then took another sip of milk tea, "I've really worked too hard in the past three years, and I've lost too much for this...."

"210,000!" Zhang Han naturally knew why Liu Pian was selling miserably, didn't he just think that the money was not enough. Although he didn't believe that Liu Pian would have such a miserable life in the past three years.

It's just that....

He didn't know that even the time of three years was particularly fake.

[Deception successful, gain 8 deception points]

Liu Pian was amused in her heart, but her expression was still lonely, "Mr. Zhang, is my three-year youth only worth 210,000?"

"Then you can make an offer. ”

"1 million?"

"....." Zhang Han couldn't wait to step on this kid's cheeky face, "Mr. Liu, don't you think 1 million is too much?" You know, you are just a newcomer, and "Dark War" is not as good as you imagined. ”

"That's 800,000?"

"250,000. ”

"You're too good at lowering the price, aren't you?" Liu Pian blinked and shouted, "Dropped me by more than 500,000 at once." ”

"Are you talking too hard?" Zhang Han seemed to be smiling, a hairy boy, girl, I don't believe I can't cure you.

"Then let's make a discount, 800,000 plus 250,000, divide by two, and the fraction will be erased, and you will be counted as 500,000. It's not that I'm lying to you, I've never been so generous. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Han's nostrils were all bigger, and he added and divided by two.

Shaking his head decisively, Zhang Han said in a deep voice: "280,000." He didn't bother to listen to this kid's nonsense.

"480,000?" Liu Pian lowered the price again, he was indeed a little confused about other people's low prices, but greed is the most primitive desire of human beings, and he also wanted to sell more.

Zhang Han continued to shake his head: "300,000." The bottom line in his heart is 400,000, but he doesn't want to throw the bottom line out.

And Liu Pian has no bottom line in his heart, in fact, at first he thought that he could only sell it for tens of thousands of yuan, and he could die for 100,000 yuan, but now he can buy so much, and the little liar's mind is alive.

"300,000 is too little, right?"

"It can't be more, 300,000 is my bottom line, if it is added, I think there is no need for us to continue to cooperate. Zhang Han took out the buyer... It is also the classic routine of God that the customer is God, and he directly packs up the contract and looks like he is ready to leave.

Liu Pian's psychological quality is obviously not as good as others, he is a student who has not been deeply involved in the world, and he can say that until now, thanks to the eloquence that he usually practices by fooling people and the education of the second elder in the family. But for Zhang Han's old fritters, Liu Pian's small fritters are still not smooth enough.

"Eh, you wait. Liu Pian shouted to others, he was afraid that Zhang Han would really leave like this, wouldn't he not be able to get a penny?

"Mr. Liu, have you agreed to the price of 300,000?"

"Agreed, the script sold for 300,000. ”

Zhang Han laughed in his heart, sat up straight, and took out the contract again.

"But...," Liu Pian spoke again.

"But what?"

"The script sells for 300,000 yuan, but the flight of my youth in the past three years can be worth tens of thousands of yuan in compensation, right?"

After brushing it, Zhang Han's face turned dark again, he really wanted to cut open this kid's head and see what kind of brain circuit was inside.

"Mr. Liu, didn't we say 300,000?"

"Yes, the script is 300,000 yuan, plus the youth compensation fee, and it is 320,000 yuan in the end, right? You see, 32 is more auspicious, 2 to the 5th power, just right. ”

I think you are a 250! Zhang Han was disdainful in his heart, he now understands that this stinky boy just wants to sit on the ground and raise the price.

"Alas, Mr. Zhang, you have to be considerate of me, my family is poor, counting my sister, a family of four, 20,000 yuan is enough for my whole family to eat for half a year. ”

Zhang Han took a deep breath, and finally nodded, "320,000 yuan! The final price! is more, and there is no need to continue this cooperation." ”

He didn't believe that this kid's family of four was poor, looking at this dress, how could he have a good living environment.

[Deception successful, gain 10 deception points]

Liu Pian nodded: "Okay, 320,000, don't change it." ”

"Shall we sign the contract now?"

"Wait, I've got to go home first and tell my sister the news, so that she can hear the good news and be happy. Let's sign the contract tomorrow. Liu Pian was still a little uneasy, and decided to find a professional to look at the contract, don't be cheated by this uncle.

"Okay, I'll stay at the hotel, call me tomorrow when you come. ”

[Deception successful, gain 8 deception points]

“OK。 Liu Pian smiled and gestured, then took the contract, carried the schoolbag and left.

After Liu Pian left, Zhang Han pursed his lips and said, "There are ghosts in your poor family, little slippery head, I don't believe it." ”

On the other end, Liu Pian stood at the door of the hotel, looking up to the sky and sighing, "I wish my mother would give me a sister, but I have been busy for eighteen years, and there has been no movement..."
