80,000 yuan, which is the highest bid so far.

Dawan family building, Zhang Yuan's home, living room.

Dong Ruifeng hesitated: "Senior Brother Zhang, I read the script, it is indeed very special." If this script is filmed, can it really attract widespread attention in China? ”

"To tell you the truth, it's impossible to get fame and fortune, but it's okay to become famous. Little junior brother, it's been five years since you graduated, and you have made a lot of movies, but none of them can be put on the stage. This script is your chance, you must seize it! Zhang Yuan said.

Hearing Zhang Yuan say this, Dong Ruifeng gradually gained confidence, he said: "I have recommended this script to the company, the company is newly built, and a batch of excellent works are needed." Mr. Wang also has ideas for this script. The price of 80,000 yuan is not low, especially for a newcomer, it is simply sky-high. It's definitely okay to buy the script, you just have to plan the shooting time......"

"I can remind you that filming this scene is not easy." Zhang Yuan was vaccinated in advance.

"No matter how difficult it is, isn't there still a senior brother to you!" Dong Ruifeng said with a smile.

In the afternoon of the same day, accompanied by Huang Bo, Chen Yuan came to Tenglong Pictures. This film and television company has a big façade and is new inside and out. Most of the company's employees are handsome men and beautiful women, and there are many second- and third-tier stars in the crowd, and Chen Yuan has seen a few familiar faces.

At the front desk of the company, Chen Yuan explained his intention.

After hearing this, the beauty at the front desk flashed a look of surprise in her eyes. Unexpectedly, Manager Dong specially greeted the guests to be ceremoniously received, and he was so young. Huang Bo in the back was naturally ignored by her.

"Two, this way, please." The beauty front desk smiled at the corner of her mouth and took the two to Manager Dong's office.

Dong Ruifeng heard the movement outside and walked out in advance. I was also taken aback to meet the creators of "Crazy Stone". Although I have heard Zhang Yuan introduce this genius boy, it is one thing to hear about it, and it is another thing to see it with my own eyes.

Dong Ruifeng warmly welcomed the two into the office, and a staff member served tea to the two.

Chen Yuan's expression was calm, and Huang Bo was not nervous at all, but relaxed and casual as if he had arrived at his own home.

Dong Ruifeng looked at Huang Bo, a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes, but he quickly hid it. He smiled and said to Chen Yuan: "I didn't expect you to be able to write such a wonderful script at such a young age. ”

"Manager Dong praised," Chen Yuan said, "Let's get to the point." You've also seen the previous content of the script, this is a low-budget comedy. is also a low-budget movie, "Crazy Stone" is definitely more wonderful than most small-budget movies. Your company can take a fancy to this script, which shows that you have a vision. ”

Dong Ruifeng frowned imperceptibly, and quickly let go again. People say that the more genius he is, the more proud he is, and this Chen Yuan actually has this stinky problem! If it weren't for Senior Brother Zhang's affirmation that this script would make a big difference, Dong Ruifeng would have served tea to the guests a long time ago.

Chen Yuan said again: "The price of 80,000 yuan is a bit low in my opinion. I'm confident in my work. It's also worth at least 300,000. Your price ......"

"This is not low," Dong Ruifeng smiled bitterly, "Your script is indeed wonderful, but when making a movie, the script is always a small head." The big head is the actor's salary, shooting supplies, and many other places that need to be spent money. You also know that this is a small cost, and if the script alone needs 300,000, what about the investment later? ”

Chen Yuan chuckled and said, "I don't dare to agree with Manager Dong's words. Without a wonderful script, even if you invite Andy Lau and Zhou Yunfa, the audience will not buy it. The script is the foundation of the movie! For most films, the price of the script does account for a very small percentage of the total investment, but some scripts are different. ”

"I'm optimistic about your script, but I'm not as confident as you." Dong Ruifeng sighed, and then said, "Buying scripts depends on vision, I have been in this industry for eight years, and I started making movies before I graduated. Up to now, 7 or 8 movies have been made, but few have been successful. Those are still the best selected from countless scripts. The domestic film industry is already sluggish, and no matter how good your script is, it can't sell for a sky-high price of 300,000. In my opinion, 80,000 yuan is already a bit high. ”

Chen Yuan frowned. After changing the topic, he said: "If I hand over this script to your company, I wonder when your company will be able to start filming?" Don't be surprised, Manager Dong, this is the first script I have written, and I especially want to see my work released in the cinema. ”

Dong Ruifeng heard Zhang Yuan mention this matter, Zhang Yuan failed to win this script, it is likely that he did not have a clear shooting plan, but he did!

Dong Ruifeng sighed slightly and said: "Tenglong Pictures plans to launch three film and television works in the millennium, one big production and two small productions. The big production invited international star Cheng Long. This script of yours is in the midst of two small productions planned for next year. If it's fast, maybe you'll be able to see this movie released next summer, and if it's slow, maybe you'll wait until next year's Spring Festival. ”

Chen Yuan nodded, in terms of time arrangement, it was also in line with his wishes. It's just a price ......

He thought about it for a while, and then said, "I think the price given by your company is still a little lower." If your company is willing to increase the price, then please contact me again. ”

Speaking of which, Chen Yuan was ready to leave.

But obviously, this is not the result that Dong Ruifeng wants. He smiled and said, "Young man, don't worry! Regarding the price of the script, I can't be the master, so I can only give advice to the upper echelons of the company. Anyway, it's still early, why don't we talk about it again? ”

Chen Yuan nodded, but there was really nothing to talk about. The office was suddenly in an awkwardness.

Dong Ruifeng rolled his eyes, looked at Huang Bo and said, "Brother Huang, I see that you are a little familiar, have you played any role?" ”

Familiar? Huang Bo's mind turned, he didn't know that the other party was looking for something to say, he casually said haha and dealt with the past.

Who knew that Dong Ruifeng seemed to recognize him, and then said: "Next year's big production, there are still a few supporting roles missing, I don't know if Brother Huang has any ideas?" ”

"Playing against Cheng Long?" Huang Bo was in good spirits and finally had some interest.

Dong Ruifeng successfully adjusted the atmosphere of the conversation and chatted with Huang Bo for a long time, but there was nothing substantial.

Finally, Dong Ruifeng turned the topic back again and said to Chen Yuan: "Our company has signed a cooperation contract with Cheng Long, if the two movies come together at that time, maybe Cheng Long can be invited to play one of the roles in friendship." ”

Chen Yuan smiled faintly, with Cheng Long's friendship, he may attract a large number of his loyal fans, but to be honest, this is not what Chen Yuan wants. What he wants is a stepping stone, the name of a genius screenwriter. What is the matter with Cheng Long starring in "Crazy Stone"? When the film is successful, who does the honor belong to?

"How? Isn't it exciting? Dong Ruifeng said with a smile, "You can imagine that the movie theater is full of people, your work is screened, and there is an international star Cheng Long in it!" What a thing to be proud of that would be! ”

Chen Yuan stood up and said calmly: "Manager Dong, maybe we should go." Again, if your company is willing to increase the price, please let me know again. Leave! ”

Dong Ruifeng's face froze, and he quickly regained his smile. He sent the two out of the door, and as soon as he turned around, his face suddenly became extremely ugly. He's a director, what's the attitude of those two bastards?!

The price of 80,000 yuan was finally solicited by him, but the other party was still not satisfied? Who does he think he is? A hairy boy with no name! Out of this door, he will never think about this price again!

Dong Ruifeng was very angry, in his opinion, he didn't expect such twists and turns to happen.

Thinking about it, Dong Ruifeng smiled again, asking for a price all over the sky, sitting on the ground to pay back, this is human nature. No one is too much to make. As long as it drags on for a while, this Chen Yuan will definitely be unable to hold his breath! Then put it off a little longer!

Out of the door of Tenglong Pictures, Huang Bo couldn't help but ask: "Chen Yuan, you said before we came here, 80,000 yuan will do." Now they have promised to start filming next year. Why haven't you said yes yet? ”

"Just like I feel like I'm in love with you, this Manager Dong makes me feel bad. I really don't want to give him "Crazy Stone". Chen Yuan sighed and said faintly.

Huang Bo was surprised when he heard this, this reason was special enough.

After a period of silence, Huang Bo gradually pondered the taste, he nodded, and said, "I can understand." When you write a script, it's like I write a song, and what you make out yourself is like your own child. If you can't find a suitable next home, you will definitely be reluctant to let go. Alas, if you want me to say, since you are so reluctant, why don't you shoot it yourself? ”

Chen Yuan suddenly stopped and looked at Huang Bo fixedly.

Huang Bo also looked back at him. The eyes of the two met and burst into strange colors. Huang Bo suddenly laughed and said, "What, you're excited?" ”

Chen Yuan shook his head and sighed, and then said slowly: "If it is a few years later, I don't need you to say it, I will do the same." But not right now. ”

"Why is it not suitable now?" Huang Bo said: "Look, actors, we have it, my brother Gao Hu, your sister Bingbing, and me." You don't need big stars for your script, we just need to. Speaking of the director, although the director is not famous, he has also directed a few movies! The script is there, the director is there, and the actors are there, what is missing? ”

Chen Yuan's heart moved, but he shook his head again, is it so easy to make a movie?
