Chapter Seventy-Six: A Different Contract
A conference room in Tengxun.
The long conference table with a decorated bonsai on it is very neat.
Wang Qiang, An Bufan, sat on one side, and on the other side was Teng Xun's director Ma Hua.
Ma Hua stared at the screen very seriously, and after more than ten minutes, a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth!
"Mr. Wang Qiang, I feel good about this web series?! Don't know what price you want? ”
Talking about money directly? Wang Qiang likes such straightforward people!
"Since Mr. Ma is quick to talk, then I will tell the truth, my bottom line is 450,000 per episode!" Wang Qiang said with a smile.
450,000?!
That's a lot of money!
Even if he is a well-known director, he doesn't dare to be so "lion open"! But the quality of this film is almost worth the price!
With his many years of experience, he can naturally see whether it is profitable or not, that is, it looks like five or five open, but the capital market, isn't it a heartbeat? !
Ma Hua thought for a moment, made a decision, and was about to speak......
"Uncle Ma, how are you busy?" A young man in a suit walked in.
Wang Qiang and An Bufan's faces changed!
The young man swept it inadvertently, his eyes were also cold, and looking at the scene, he naturally understood a rough idea.
"Uncle Ma, come out, I have something to say." The young man still maintained his mildness.
Ma Hua smiled apologetically and followed out quickly.
An Bufan rolled up his sleeves, ready to catch up with the young man.
Wang Qiang grabbed him and said in a deep voice, "Don't be impulsive! ”
"Qiangzi, you ......" An Bufan looked at Wang Qiang's clenched gums, swallowed the second half of the sentence, and sat down in a sullen voice.
Wang Qiang directly took out the original belt and said expressionlessly, "Let's go!" ”
"Hmm!"
The two unscrewed the doorknob and happened to touch Ma Hua, who was about to open the door.
"I'm sorry, your film ......"
"I know!" Wang Qiang smiled and said, and then walked out sideways, without a trace of nostalgia.
When I walked into the hall, I met the young man who had been waiting for a long time.
"I said, with me, you'll never get up!" The young man leaned on Wang Qiang's ear and said with a low sneer.
"The most wrong thing you did was not kill me when you were in college!" After Wang Qiang finished calmly, he left, never glancing at the young man, as if he was afraid of dirty his eyes.
"You ......"
Before the young man could speak ruthlessly, he was bumped into by An Bufan's big physique!
Sit in the car.
"Qiangzi, don't be angry, it's all over anyway." An Bufan looked at the terrible Wang Qiang with a cold face, and said. "Why don't we have some drink?"
"It's important to get down to business!" Wang Qiang said with some melancholy. He shook his head vigorously, as if he wanted to throw the memories out of his brain!
"What's next?"
An Bufan glanced at the navigation before he said, "Convex Bean"
"Oh, let's go!"
The car was running all the way, the windows were open, and the wind ruffled Wang Qiang's hairstyle......
Convex Bean Headquarters.
Office of the Superintendent.
The high-spirited Han Li didn't watch the film at all, and said in a beggar tone, "Fifty thousand for one episode, put down the film, and leave." ”
"That's a bit less for the price, isn't it?" Wang Qiang asked with a smile.
"Are you too little?" Han Li said disdainfully, "Convex Beans are in the video website, that is a real veteran level!" If it weren't for the need for a film library recently, you wouldn't even be qualified to be rejected by me! You know?! ”
Such an unruly person, Wang Qiang has no nature to talk about.
Don't say hello, just leave.
"Huh! Do you really think you're a big name?! Han Li spat and said disdainfully.
took out his mobile phone and continued to play the landlord.
The three websites repeatedly refused, and both of them were actually a little discouraged.
The atmosphere in the car was slightly dull.
An Bufan said tentatively, "Brother, why don't you sell it cheaper." Otherwise, our hard work will be in vain. ”
"Isn't it still a website?" Wang Qiang didn't care, "If no one really wants it, when the time comes, let's send it directly to the meager top, at least it can give us an official micro gathering popularity, if the fans evaluate it well, we will make other films in the future, we can be regarded as a little bit of heritage!" ”
"Okay!" An Bufan shrugged. He doesn't care about these millions, anyway, his father said it, just play around, it doesn't matter if it's profitable or not!
After going around for most of the circle, the car finally stopped under the building of Aiqiyi.
"Let's go! Go up and pick up the girl. Wang Qiang patted the other party on the shoulder and said.
Without the thirst for fame and fortune, the mood is naturally much calmer.
An Bufan's little eyes narrowed, and as he walked, he began to observe the girl......
Eighteenth floor.
Office of the Superintendent.
Syllable!
Meng Yude threw the manuscript into the trash, pointed at his subordinates' noses and shouted, "For three months, you guys will get out this garbage?!" ”
"Mr. Meng, what ......do you ask for?"
"Am I demanding?! Yes?! Our company is a new company, and we are facing the danger of encirclement and suppression all the time! If you can't get a work that can top the beam, and you can't make a reputation, in the last year, you will have to roll up the cover and get out! ”
"Mr. Meng, why don't I go and ask them to write a new one?" The subordinate asked cautiously.
"Write? What else to write?! And then insult my eyes with a bunch of garbage?! You tell them all to fuck off! Love Qiyi doesn't need a rice bucket! ”
The subordinate nodded seriously and said, "Why don't we try to adapt the novel?" ”
"Novel adaptation?" Meng Yude sighed and said, "Have you ever seen a drama adapted from a novel that has become popular?" ”
"That's better than looking for a manuscript without direction, at least, there are a lot of good ideas in online novels! It's really not good, when the time comes, let's adapt the novel, maybe we can get miraculous results? ”
After thinking about it, Meng Yude also felt a little reasonable, raised his eyes and asked, "What good novels are there on the Internet recently?" ”
"The Bad Guy Is. How to make it" is quite popular! The subordinate said categorically, "This novel is written by a newcomer, but he writes it very well!" The results are even more impressive! Directly crushed a vote of gods! If he can still maintain his record in the second book, he can definitely forge a godhead! This novel is mainly about Xie Wendong......"
Looking at the gushing appearance of his subordinates, Meng Yude also raised some interest.
Interrupt the other party and let him go down.
Turn on the computer, search for it on the novel network, and look at the various numbers of "Bad Guy", and I am also very surprised!
At the beginning, he was an old bookworm, but now he is busy every day, so he gradually gave up this hobby.
Click here to read.
Xie Wendong, Li Shuang, Three-eyed ...... One by one, the plump characters leap onto the page.
As I was watching, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in!"
As soon as Wang Qiang and An Bufan came in, they felt that something was wrong, and they wondered if they had made a mistake?! The director's office is well organized, with a few books or calligraphy and paintings, which looks very elegant.
However, here's ......
A room full of waste paper? Leftover box lunches? And a bed? Projector? Gym equipment. Nima! Look like this, do you make this place your home?! Is it that wages are so low that you can't afford to rent a house?
"Mr. Meng, hello, I'm Wang Qiang, and this is my brother An Bufan." Wang Qiang collected his thoughts and said politely.
"You may be seated!" Meng Yude stood up and laughed loudly, "The place is a little messy, but it makes the two of you laugh." ”
"Where, at first glance, you are a "workaholic", but Mao Weiren also said that the body is the capital of the revolution! Wang Qiang made a joke, sat down and cut straight to the point, "I came this time, mainly because I made a film and wanted to cooperate with your company." ”
"Oh?" Meng Yude looked at Wang Qiang, such a young director, he really hadn't seen it, and said politely, "My favorite is talented people, and our company is also eager to cooperate with young talents like Mr. Wang for a win-win situation!" ”
"You're welcome!" Wang Qiang smiled and said, "If it's convenient for you, let's watch the feature film now." ”
Meng Yude nodded in agreement.
Took the original belt handed over by Wang Qiang with both hands and placed it directly on the projector......
The title of the film is actually "The Bad Guy Is. How is it made? Maybe it's a coincidence, right?
And then......
Xie Wendong, Li Shuang, and Gao Qiang appeared one by one......
I finished watching the ten-minute feature film in a while, Meng Yude calmed down his inner restlessness, this film is really amazing! At least it shook him!
The plot and characters in it are almost the same as what he imagined in his mind when he first read the novel!
And the actors perform very tensely, and some plots are even more stimulating to the senses than the original book!
"This is an adaptation of a novel?" Meng Yude still asked.
Wang Qiang nodded in response. "It's the very popular "Bad Guy", I saw that it was a little interesting, so I bought the copyright!"
"You made this film?"
"The director and the starring, it's all me."
Meng Yude was shocked! Actors and directors are fundamentally two different paths, but this young man can take on two of them, and he has really put in a lot of effort!
"And what price are you going to sell?"
No nonsense, go straight to the meat show!
Wang Qiang said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "The whole online drama is a total of 30 episodes, and I hope the price is 500,000 per episode!" ”
Meng Yude pondered.
He just watched the feature film and can come to a conclusion that the popularity of the "Bad Guy" web series is certain! However, the third-level film overwhelmed some advantages, and he didn't know whether it was worth the price or not.
After thinking about it for a long time, it is still difficult to decide......
Wang Qiang looked at the other party's appearance and knew that this film had already made the other party tempted, but the price did not want to go down.
Suddenly, there was a flash of inspiration......
"Mr. Meng, I know that you are a little worried about whether this film can return to its original cost, and I have some ideas here......"
Meng Yude looked up at him.
"That's what I think, let's play this film for free on the website first, I don't want a penny! If the click breaks 50 million, I will charge 10% of the interstitial advertising fee! For every point added to the click, I add one percentage point to the advertising fee! The upper limit is 30 percent, what do you think? ”
The fat man touched Wang Qiang's head to see if he was mad because of what happened just now......
"Fifty million clicks below, no penny?" Meng Yude asked uncertainly.
Wang Qiang smiled and said, "If you don't believe it, we can sign a contract." ”
Meng Yude smiled!
This quality film is really good, but this is a third-level film! Moreover, he has not heard of the precedent of fire in the adaptation of novels.
The most important thing is that a small website like Aiqiyi does not have such a large amount of traffic at all!
"However, you can't be stingy with your website recommendations."
"That's for sure, I want to see the miracle of the novel adaptation too!"
After a while, I found a lawyer to draw up a contract.
Wang Qiang swept his eyes and found no traps.
Sign your name directly.
Then, the two men who exchanged contracts wanted to smile.
Although both sides had their own goals, they were smiling happily.
"Hadron, are you sure you weren't sick just now?"
"Fuck off!" Wang Qiang scolded with a smile, "You, just wait to collect the money!" ”
The car is happily speeding down the road......
