Chapter 8 The Talks Are Done

The next day, Chu Xuan and Zhang Fan came to the Chinese entertainment company early, Chu Xuan pulled his tie, and he was not used to formal wear. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Brother Zhang, we've been waiting for more than an hour, so you left us in the conference room? Don't even have a receptionist? Chu Xuan's face was a little bad.

"Wait, I called just now and said we were in a meeting." Zhang Fan said.

After about half an hour, the door to the conference room was pushed open, and the person finally arrived.

"I'm sorry, I had a meeting just now, so I kept you waiting." There were two people coming in, one of them said.

"Mr. Zhao is busy, he can understand." Zhang Fan said with a smile.

"This is our company's screenwriter, Chen Bai, this must be a Chu screenwriter, right? Long admiration! "Mr. Zhao's full name is Zhao Mingzhong, and he is the vice president of a Chinese entertainment company.

"Hello, I'm Chu Xuan, hello, screenwriter Chen." Chu Xuan stood up and stretched out his hand and said, Zhao Mingzhong reached out and shook Chu Xuan's hand.

"You are Chu Xuan? It's not the same as what I've seen on the magazine network, and it looks like a few years of prison have ravaged you. After Chen Bai finished speaking, he sat down directly and did not shake hands with Chu Xuan, who had already stretched out his hand.

Chu Xuan frowned and stretched out his hand back, "In the past, a little screenwriter like you didn't have the opportunity to get to know me, so it's normal that you haven't seen me in person." Even if the other party doesn't give himself face, then Chu Xuan won't save face for others, and said confrontedly.

"You... Hehe, I was indeed not as famous as Chu Da screenwriter before, but now you seem to be out of luck, right? I heard that you need our company's investment in bringing the script this time? Then I'm going to open my eyes and see what kind of script an outdated screenwriter can write! Chen Bai said the word "out-of-gas" very seriously.

The two competed against each other, and Zhao Mingzhong did not stop Chen Bai's evil words, it seemed that he was going to give Chu Xuan a disadvantage.

"Mr. Zhao, what does this mean?" Zhang Fan felt that Chen Bai was too much, and asked unhappily.

"Director Zhang, don't get me wrong, screenwriter Chen's temper is like this, he does speak a little mean, but there is absolutely no malice." Zhao Mingzhong said casually.

There's nothing malicious in talking like this? When we are three-year-olds? Chu Xuan sneered, and then said, "Mr. Zhao, I brought the script, do you want to read the script and discuss something else?" ”

"Okay, then let's look at the script," Zhang Mingzhong said.

Chu Xuan took out the script and put it on the table, and with a push, the script was sent to Zhao Mingzhong and Chen Bai.

"Wulin Gaiden? What type of play is this? After Zhang Mingzhong read the name of the script, he looked up and asked Chu Xuan.

"Costume comedy." Chu Xuan said truthfully.

"Costume comedy? I don't think I've seen anything like it before, right? The two of them continued to watch.

When Zhao Mingzhong and Chen Bai watched it, Chu Xuan was indifferent, and Zhang Fan was a little worried, afraid that it would be too novel for others to accept! Especially this Chen Bai, it is estimated that he will find fault.

In fact, this Chen Bai is also famous in the industry, and the scripts he wrote can't be said to be bad, but they are not bad, they are all some works that follow the trend, but the quality of the script is still okay, the reason why he is so targeted at Chu Xuan has two points, the first is that Zhao Mingzhong said that he wanted to beat Chu Xuan, after all, the previous Chu Xuan was a super first-line screenwriter in the industry, even if he was in prison, it was inevitable that there would be some arrogance, second, Chen Bai's script was named by Chu Xuan in the past and said that it was a garbage script, but I am afraid that Chu Xuan can't remember this matter, After all, Chen Bai didn't have the slightest fame in the past, and Chu Xuan was like the sky, he wouldn't take it to heart when he said that the script of a small screenwriter who was not famous was rubbish, not to mention the facts, the script was indeed nothing eye-catching, and now that Chu Xuan had fallen off the altar, Chen Bai's status was gradually increasing, and when he saw Chu Xuan in such a situation, he would inevitably say a few words of sarcasm to Chu Xuan.

Half an hour passed quickly, and Zhao Mingzhong and Chen Bai also finished reading the script.

"Mr. Zhao, what do you think of the script?" Zhang Fan saw that the two had finished reading the script, and hurriedly asked.

"It's quite novel, but...."Before Zhao Mingzhong's words were finished, Chen Bai interrupted Zhao Mingzhong and said, "I thought that Chu Da would be so confident when he wrote some shocking script, but that's it." Chen Bai smiled contemptuously.

"Oh? Then I'd like to hear how my script is nothing more than that in your mouth. Chu Xuan said with a sneer

"First of all, the current popular costume dramas are martial arts and immortal cultivation, and your script does not ensure that the audience can accept it, and secondly, I think many characters in the script are not funny at all, but are grandstanding like fools." Chen Bai admitted that the idea of "Wulin Gaiden" is very novel, but in Chen Bai's opinion, if this drama is filmed, it will not be popular, and the current Chu Xuan is really as the outside world says, Jiang Lang is exhausted. Chen Bai thought to himself.

"So what do you think, Mr. Zhao?" Chu Xuan didn't answer Chen Bai's words, but turned around and asked Zhao Mingzhong.

"How much investment do you need for this show? According to the plot in the script, there is very little demand for the venue, and no money is needed, mainly depending on the cast of actors. Zhao Mingzhong did not answer how the script was written, but only asked his own questions.

"15 million-20 million!" Chu Xuan actually thought about how much money he needed to invest before he came, in the previous life, "Wulin Gaiden" invested about 20 million, but he made three or four hundred million, the screenwriter in this life has become himself, and he can only take a little symbolically with money, and his career model can't unlock the first achievement with money, it depends on prestige value, and he can't solve the first achievement within a month, and this cheating device against the sky will disappear, so now Chu Xuan doesn't care about the amount of money.

"Are you sure you can shoot it within 20 million? I see that you have 81 episodes in the script, and you have to invite some stars, etc." Zhao Mingzhong didn't expect Chu Xuan to say so little, and said in surprise.

"It's definitely filmed within 20 million, but there are some things to say in front, and the actors have to be decided by our crew." Chu Xuan was afraid that the Chinese company would arrange its own artists to perform, so he said in advance.

"81 episodes of the TV series, you tell me that it can be filmed within 20 million? Chu Xuan, are you doing a bad job in prison? Don't know the current market? Chen Bai said sarcastically.

"You think it's your problem that you can't finish filming, I say I can shoot it, I think it can be filmed!" Chu Xuan said.

Zhang Fan was actually discussing the investment amount with Chu Xuan at the beginning, and he didn't believe that the 81-episode TV series could be filmed for such a small amount of money, but Chu Xuan patted his chest and assured Zhang Fan, and Zhang Fan finally chose to believe Chu Xuan.

"Mr. Zhao, within 20 million, no problem, shoot it." Zhang Fan also said.

"Okay, then I'd like to see how you shoot it!" Chen Bai never believed it.

Zhao Mingzhong thinks that you can also try it, 20 million is nothing for a TV series that costs hundreds of millions of dollars at every turn.

After nearly an hour of discussion, the two sides reached an agreement, and after the lawyer in the afternoon, the contract could be signed, mainly because Chu Xuan was in a hurry, there was only more than half a month left before the time when he had to unlock the first achievement, so he couldn't do it if he wasn't in a hurry!
