"Well, you're right."

After he said this, Zhang Ke also kept nodding his head again and again, admiring, "High!" It's just too high! ”

As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of not knowing the goods, you are afraid of comparing the goods. Although Xiong Tian's script was also extremely exciting, when he listened to the story that Zuo Jian casually made up on the spot, when the two were compared, there was a difference between the two.

What makes Zhang Ke even more emotional is that Xiong Tian's story, in general, is a story of love and inspiration, and in the same way, Zuo Jian's story is also a combination of inspiration and love, and the love in his story is even more touching.

"Uncle Cousin."

This time, Zhang Ke simply removed the word "Mr. Cousin" from the previous title, and like Mu Yanbing, he didn't want to think about calling Zuo Jian his cousin, he was about to be fifty years old, and what a strange scene it was to call Zuo Jian, who was much younger than him, his cousin.

But these are all trivial matters, in Zhang Ke's opinion, it is not a matter at all, and the thing he is most concerned about now is whether this wonderful script made up by Zuo Jian can be sold for his own use.

"Your story is so exciting, I wonder if you can sell me this story in the form of a script?" Zhang Ke's eyebrows danced and said excitedly. didn't notice at all, Xiong Tian on the side, when he heard his words, his face instantly became extremely embarrassed.

Xiong Tian knew in his heart that his script had been rejected. But embarrassment is embarrassment, from the screenwriter's point of view, he has to admit that Zuo Jian's story is indeed better than his own.

"Sold to you?" Zuo Jian was stunned, the story just now was just something he made up casually by stealing beams and changing pillars, such a thing can actually be sold for money?

"Hmm." Zhang Ke nodded vigorously, as if he was using this action to show that he was very serious, "In terms of price, you can rest assured, I will definitely not treat you badly." As he spoke, he thought quickly in his heart and said, "One million, what do you think?" ”

"A million?"

Zuo Jian's eyes suddenly widened, and he wondered if he had heard it wrong?

Unexpectedly, his expression made Zhang Ke mistakenly think that it was his own price, and he opened it too low, gritted his teeth, and said, "Two million!" Uncle Cousin, this is the highest price I can offer you, even if you get it to other film companies to sell, it will definitely not exceed my price, and the cost of making a movie is too much now......"

He chattered for a long time, but what Zuo Jian cared about and was most interested in was his sentence of two million!

Damn, just brag about it, and you can blow it up to two million! If I had known that this was the case, what else would I be a mercenary? Wouldn't it be better to come back early and find a place to brag?

Zuo Jian shouted silently in his heart.

Xiong Tian on the side, after hearing the price offered by Zhang Ke, his eyelids couldn't help jumping wildly, looking for a price is definitely the top price in the industry! Looking at the whole country, a screenwriter whose script can get such a price, I'm afraid I can count it on one hand!

Many people think that once a movie or TV series sells well, the value of the screenwriter will also rise and rise, but the actual situation is that once the big sell is hot, the people who rise in value are actors and directors!

As for the screenwriter, hehe, I'm sorry, let's stay and go.

Xiong Tian is a living example, although he has the name of director Zhang Ke's royal screenwriter, and people in the company call Brother Xiong long and short, but one of his scripts is just a price of hundreds of thousands!

And the script of the city goddess who made him popular at the beginning only got a pitiful 100,000 yuan, but for Xiong Tian at the beginning, 100,000 yuan was far beyond his expectations.

"Okay." Although he was full of emotion in his heart, Zuo Jian's face didn't show any fluctuations at all, nodded reservedly, and pretended to say: "Since Director Zhang thinks so highly of me, wouldn't it be too bad to be a man if I refuse?" ”

Immediately, the next words were what Zuo Jian was most concerned about, "Director Zhang, when will the two million be able to hit my card?" ”

"Don't worry." Zhang Ke patted his chest and said: "As long as you sign the copyright contract, it will be on your card immediately." Saying that, Zhang Ke looked at Mu Yanbing, and before he could speak, Mu Yanbing nodded again and again, and said, "Director Zhang, I have already decided, take over this play!" ”

"Really?" Zhang Ke was ecstatic in his heart, the reason why he was willing to offer Zuo Jian such a high price to buy the script, in addition to the fact that this story made him feel wonderful, the rest of the reason was that he hoped to use the method of buying the script to impress Mu Yanbing to take over the play.

"Nature is true." Mu Yanbing wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and showed a smile.

"That's just great!" Zhang Ke was overjoyed, made a decision immediately, and said while the iron was hot: "Miss Yan Bing, then let's sign the contract now." He took out a contract that had already been printed out of his handbag and handed it to Mu Yanbing.

After roughly browsing the contract, Mu Yanbing took a pen and signed his name.

"Happy working together!"

After seeing her sign her name, Zhang Ke's face suddenly smiled, and he had a feeling of keeping the clouds open and seeing the moon, but immediately, he sighed and said: "Miss Yan Bing, there are less than two months left before the Chinese New Year, and the preliminary preparations for this play have been prepared for a long time. ”

"Every year before the Chinese New Year, New Year's movies are the best time to promote movies, but unfortunately, now there are less than two months left before the New Year, and I am afraid that I can't catch up with this golden period!"

Zhang Ke's words revealed some small regrets, New Year's films are definitely the top priority for any film company! Some film companies even began to prepare for this prime time schedule half a year in advance.

Zhang Ke is no exception, preparations for this play began a few months ago, whether it is the selection of scenes or actors, they are all ready, the only thing that is not ready is the heroine.

Although the script is temporarily changed now, it actually does not have much impact on the preparatory work in the early stage, because on the whole, Zuo Jian's script has almost zero requirements for scene selection, that is, the filming location selected in the early stage can still be used.

This is also the reason why Zhang Ke did not hesitate to change the script temporarily, if Xiong Tian's script was a costume drama before, even if Zuo Jian's story just now was wonderful, I am afraid Zhang Ke would have to think about it, instead of not hesitating as before.

Because the replacement of the script means that all the preparatory work has to be reversed, whether in terms of time or cost, this requires a huge cost!

"Hehe, Director Zhang, maybe, there are still more than two months left before the Chinese New Year, if it is faster, maybe we can catch up with this golden period."

Mu Yanbing said comfortingly.

She has the experience of filming before, and she knows that in just two months, it is not impossible to finish filming a film, as long as the actors are in good condition and enter the drama quickly, then filming is definitely twice the result with half the effort.

But if the scene has not been selected yet, while shooting, the world is selected, coupled with the actor's poor state, it is difficult to enter the play, and the director picks and chooses, it is very common for a movie to be shot for a year.

"Hehe, it's okay, it doesn't matter." Zhang Ke could naturally hear that Mu Yanbing was comforting himself, he cheered up and said with a smile: "My purpose this time is to create a classic movie that surpasses the urban goddess, not to be fast, but the quality must be good, so it is good to be able to catch up with the schedule of the New Year's film, if you can't catch up, you will definitely not pursue speed!" ”

In order to be able to slap the newspapers that like to chew their tongues and spread rumors, lest the world be chaotic, Zhang Ke's heart has long been full of energy, and he has made up his mind that he must strive for excellence, so although he has some regrets in his heart, he will not feel regrets.

The atmosphere of the next chat became very harmonious, whether it was Zhang Ke or Xiong Tian, when the two talked to Zuo Jian, they were very polite.

Especially Xiong Tian, in addition to being polite, his eyes flashed with a hint of admiration, you know, the screenwriter is actually half a literati, so naturally, there will be some literati problems in his bones, for example, for those who don't understand literature, they are despised from the inside out, and once they are more talented than themselves, they are admired from the bottom of their hearts.

As for Zuo Jian's previous words, his script has no art at all, and it is completely a bubble of shit, which has long been automatically forgotten by Xiong Tian.

"Uncle Cousin, you graduated from the Department of Chinese, right? Have you ever written a script before? Xiong Tian asked curiously, in his opinion, the person who can make up such twists and turns, and ends in tragedy, must have a deep literary attainment, at least have read countless famous books, otherwise, how can he think of the sword going off the rails in an era that pays attention to happy endings, and boldly use this way as the ending?

You must know that not every story that ends in tragedy will resonate with the audience, and it is likely to be complained about.

One of the most important things is whether the story can move people.

And the story that Zuo Jianfang just narrated fully meets the most critical element of moving.

Zuo Jian's attitude towards people has always been, people respect me, I respect people, seeing that Xiong Tian has changed from the previous arrogance to the current extremely polite, and even a little respectful, he naturally will not give Xiong Tian a face, put on a shelf, besides, in fact, Xiong Tian to a certain extent, but also helped him If there is no script in front, Zuo Jian can't make up such a complete story.

He coughed and said with a smile: "Bear screenwriter ......"

Hearing his title, Xiong Tian hurriedly interrupted him, "Uncle Cousin, don't you call me that, isn't it a slap in the face if you call me like this?" Just call me Bear......"
