Ye Kunwu took the initiative, Su Wen was interested, and the cooperation negotiations between the two sides were very smooth.

After Ye Kunwu went back, the matrix had a popular from relevant departments come to Su Wen to discuss the terms of cooperation, and in just two days, the two sides finalized the relevant conditions and signed the contract.

Although Su Wen tried his best to fight for his own interests, as soon as the other party took out the latest contract signed by Wang Wang, he had nothing to say.

At this stage, Ye Kunwu is willing to give him the same conditions as Wang Wang, which can be said to have improved his status a lot. Just look at the eyes and tone of the department manager, he was surprised by the conditions that the general manager gave Su Wen, and kept saying that according to common sense, there would be no such preferential treatment, after all, he Su Wen had not yet reached the level that Wang had forgotten-

The winner of the major drama awards in the empire, the nominee of the Royal Literary Award, these titles and halos on Wang Wang's body are too bright and dazzling, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people, even if Su Wen is now making a huge noise, it is definitely impossible to compare with Wang Wang, who has been operating in the Chinese literary world for decades.

Su Wen is also self-aware, even if he has high ambitions and ideals, he also knows that the meal must be eaten in one bite, and the road must be walked step by step, in the face of the same contract conditions as Wang Wang, he does not even have room to say a word.

Fifteen percent of the publishing royalty, one percent of the theater box office, two percent of the film and television profits, and two percent of the game revenue.

These data are said to be the highest conditions that can be prescribed by Matrix Culture Company.

Even if Su Wen didn't believe it, he could only accept it, and while he was helpless, he sighed that if his Spring and Autumn Publishing House had a national channel, he wouldn't have to give a large share of the benefits to the matrix culture company.

Don't say anything else. Fifteen percent of the royalty is definitely not the highest royalty that a cultural company can provide to the author, Su Wen checked the information on the Internet, and it is rumored that the two companies of Matrix and Fang Yuan have offered more than 20% of the royalty conditions in order to obtain the copyright of Wang Tianming's new book!

What is the concept of 20 percent, if you remove the cost of yards, after removing the cost of printing, transportation, channels, etc. It is estimated that the profit of a cultural company publishing a book is not 20/half of the price price.

In other words, they can give authors of the level of the big-headed Wang Tianming, and would rather earn a little less for themselves.

What a concept!

Of course, there is only one Wang Tianming, a writer who has both commercial value and literary value, and can balance the two, and he can count them in one slap in the whole of China. And Wang Tianming is one of the best.

If you want to talk about status and popularity, compared with Wang Tianming and others, Su Wen doesn't know how many streets away!

It's not that he didn't think about handing over "Thunderstorm" to the Spring and Autumn Publishing House, which is his own industry anyway, but he is very soberly aware that it is inappropriate.

At this stage, the capacity of the Spring and Autumn Publishing House is confined to a province, and it does not have the ability to distribute it nationwide, and the distribution channels have not been fully established, so they have put "Thunderstorm" in their hands. The sales of five million copies are still the result of using his Su Wen's popularity at this stage.

And what about handing it over to the matrix?

According to Ye Kunwu. Since Su Wen and Wang Wang have been given a level of treatment, the market resources must be tilted towards him, the quality of "Thunderstorm" is not bad, and now the reputation is bursting, when the time comes, find a few writers at the same level as Wang Wang to say a few good words, and recommend it. Coupled with the distribution channels of the matrix, the sales of 10 million copies are only a small matter, and 20 million is not impossible.

In today's market, although the script is still the mainstream, it has gradually been distanced by the novel. A drama and a novel, if they are both at the same level, the former will sell much worse than the latter. A novelist like Wang Tianming, his novels can sell tens of millions of dollars at every turn, and if the years go by and accumulate, maybe it is possible to exceed 100 million.

However, 20 or 30 million dramas are already top sales, and if you want to go higher, you don't know what year of the monkey you have to wait to accumulate enough.

Twenty million is a watershed, the difference between a best-selling author and a literary master.

Ye Kunwu said that the goal of "Thunderstorm" was set at 20 million, which shows that he already values Su Wen very much.

Twenty million and five million, fools know how to calculate the difference, Su Wen is now mainly to brush up his prestige, he is not willing to waste time on the Spring and Autumn Publishing House, even if this publishing house is his industry, he must first develop himself through other favorable channels.

This is after the original matrix Dongguang Branch was unwilling to cooperate, Su Wen not only rejected Fang Chengshi, but also rejected Li Xiuying's proposal to cooperate.

Now that the matrix has restarted this topic, and the general manager has come forward, Su Wen pushed the boat down the river and sold him a face.

The ambition in his heart is to use other people's resources to develop himself, and when he really has the prestige and fame of Wang Wang, and even has the same status as Wang Tianming, cooperation or something, it will not be up to others to speak, but he will be in charge!

At that time, it is the time for him to really develop and grow the Spring and Autumn Publishing House, to be his own boss and master, without looking at the eyes of others!

Qin Hong mentioned it to Su Wen before, saying that the great director Feng Tian wanted to make "Thunderstorm" into a movie, and now the film and television copyright of this drama is represented by the matrix, Su Wen reminded Qin Hong and asked her to tell Feng Tian to talk directly with the matrix company.

He is still like that bird, once the book is handed over to the collaborator, he will sit and wait for the benefits, and if other things can be done without trouble, he will not be troubled. Besides, the matrix company is a giant in the domestic cultural industry, and it has more experience in film and television cooperation negotiations, so it is naturally most suitable for them to come forward.

What Su Wen didn't expect was that Matrix Culture Company would not flow into the fields of outsiders, and handed over the film and television copyright to its subsidiary, Matrix Film and Television!

Matrix Film and Television took the initiative to directly find Feng Tian to discuss film cooperation.

Feng Tian is a freelance director, and it is the same to work with anyone, but he has a request, that is, in addition to asking Qin Hong to personally act as Su Yi's actor, he also proposed that the author of "Thunderstorm" participate in the casting project, help the crew check the screen, and select other suitable candidates.

Feng Tian's reason is very simple, "Thunderstorm" on the stage is very successful, and Su Yi has contributed a lot, but other actors are not like Qin Hong, who is born in movies, but mostly acts in stage plays, and the style of movie and stage interpretation is too different. Even if he wanted to use these original people, he wouldn't dare to take this risk.

Therefore, except for the role of Su Yi, everyone else has to be recast, and in his opinion, no one understands the character traits of the drama characters better than the original author.

The original style of "Thunderstorm" is already obvious, and no one is sure if other changes are made. Even Feng Tian, who has an outstanding personality in the movie, has no confidence, so he plans to make an original "Thunderstorm".

In order for "Thunderstorm" to keep pace with the original book, it is necessary for the original author to participate.

Feng Tian didn't dare to agree to the request matrix, they had a general understanding of Su Wen's character, and knew that this guy was not very easy to deal with, so they only said that they would help convey it.

After a while, the ball returned to the vicinity of Suwen.

In the previous life, Su Wen was born as a TV screenwriter, and he knew that it was a thankless task to get involved in filming in public, and the director would ask you to discuss the role positioning, speech lines or something. Sometimes it is patted and said that it needs to be changed here, and it needs to be changed there.

In this way, it is a matter of the screenwriter revising the script again.

In the face of a strong director, maybe he will have to serve him throughout the filming, Su Wen has suffered such hardships, of course he is unwilling to get involved.

Besides, he knew a little that Feng Tian was the kind of director with a very prominent personality. Such people are the hardest to deal with, especially when it comes to script setting. A strong director and a well-known screenwriter can almost be said to be incompatible. For the latter, the script is your own baby, if you want to change it, it is to beat my baby, I don't agree. I still have to help you beat your own baby?

It just doesn't make sense!

Su Wen didn't want to suffer such a crime, the work was handed over, and if it was destined to be revised, it would be better to be out of sight! So he rejected Feng Tian's request in one go.

But Feng Tian didn't give up, and invited a lobbyist-

looked at Qin Hong, who had a pretty face but a solemn expression in front of him. Su Wen looked helpless, sighed and said, "Teacher Qin, I really didn't expect you to be a lobbyist for Director Feng, and the object of persuasion is still me!" ”

That's right, Feng Tian used a big killing move to bring out the great god Qin Hong!

Others can say that in the face of Qin Hong, who just owes a favor because of "Thunderstorm", Su Wen really doesn't have much confidence to refuse. People didn't charge a penny to help him host the performance of "Thunderstorm", defeated Li Sansi, won the drama competition, and he also won supreme praise for "Thunderstorm" in the past two days, which made Su Wen say a "no" word!

When Qin Hong heard this, he looked at Su Wen even more resentfully, and said, "You pulled me into the water, but I was quiet, do you say that there is such a truth in the world?" ”

Su Wen was surprised: "What does it mean to pull down the water?" ”

Qin Hong said quietly: "I used to teach well in school, but you let me play Su Yi, and now Feng Tian came to the door to let me act in a movie, if it is another movie, I can still refuse, but it is "Thunderstorm", do you think I can still refuse?" ”

"That's a favor you owe Director Feng, right?"

Qin Hong snorted: "Then I will also ask you for favors!" ”

Su Wen stubbornly said: "Teacher Qin, I didn't force you to play "Thunderstorm", you did it voluntarily. ”

Qin Hong said angrily: "If you didn't use the script to seduce me, I would ...... In short, it's all your fault! ”

Su Wende admitted that it was not reasonable to reason with a woman, not to mention that this time it seemed that reason was no longer on his side, and he couldn't refute it, so he smiled bitterly for a long time and said: "It's just a movie, why do you have to involve me." You know, I don't know anything about movies! ”

"It's not that I want you to make a movie, but I want you to help with the casting process."

Su Wentan spread his hands and said: "The most difficult role to choose in "Thunderstorm" is Su Yi, now that you have Teacher Qin, there is no other difficulty at all." As long as I choose the characters according to the script, it will be foolproof, and it will only be more chaotic if I go. ”

Qin Hong shrugged his shoulders and said, "Feng Tian's person is a little weird, why he asked for this, only he knows best. Why don't you talk to him face to face? I said before that we would have an interview, but now you are directly handing over the copyright to the matrix company, and you and Feng Tian have never even met! ”

"Why do you have to meet?" Su Wen still tried his best to refuse this drudgery, "Teacher Qin, I guess you don't know me, I said something when I won the championship of the Chinese Middle School Student Literature Contest before, that is: You eat an egg and think it is delicious, there is no need to know the chicken that laid the egg." It's the same with "Thunderstorm", I came out with the script, how to change it and how to shoot it is your business, it's best if I don't interfere. ”

"Why are you so afraid of being part of the crew?" Qin Hong asked puzzled.

"Why do you have to attend?" Su Wen asked rhetorically.

Qin Hong said: "Isn't this what many people dream of? Big directors, big productions, big stars, how many people flock to such movies, there are many handsome guys like dogs, beautiful women everywhere, if you can be the main caster as a screenwriter, what a beautiful errand it is! Isn't it a good time for you people to enforce the unspoken rules? ”

"Sneak ......" Su Wen was choked and almost coughed, seeing Qin Hong's playful eyes, he hurriedly said, "Teacher Qin, you are too much, am I that kind of person?" ”

Qin Hong's eyes fluttered, and he said, "I don't know my heart if I know people." ”

Su Wen's face froze, and he said, "Then you shouldn't let me participate in the casting, and you can't give me the opportunity to commit a crime." We need to put an end to this kind of thing at the root. ”

Qin Hong said: "That is also a kind of exercise for you, testing your perseverance in the face of temptation." ”

"I ......"

"Don't say anything!" Qin Hong waved his hand and didn't give Su Wen a chance to speak, "If it weren't for you, I would have been able to teach here with peace of mind if I didn't do well in my life, and it was you who made me re-enter the film industry to wade into bigger troubled waters." I, like Feng Tian, must be perfect when I do one thing, and strive to be perfect! Since we decided to make "Thunderstorm", we want to make it a classic! This movie is born to hit the film awards, so the character selection is very important, and the participation of one of your original authors can make the movie more appropriate and beautiful! I want everyone to know that my Qin Hong's movies are all high-quality! Su Wen, this time it will be you who will return the favor to me, after the movie is finished, we don't owe each other! ”

Speaking of this, Su Wen has no room to refuse, debts are easy to repay, and favors are the most difficult to repay!

"I'll call you when I cast!" After Qin Hong finished the last sentence, he waved his hand and left, leaving Su Wen alone in a daze.

In order to avoid everyone's discovery, the two chose to meet at a remote rockery in the Faculty of Letters, and they both came in disguise.

Su Wen came back to his senses, flashed the scrutiny of some people around him, and didn't dare to go to the library, let alone wander around the school, so he hurried back to the dormitory, intending to continue his "retreat and cultivation".

Who would have thought that he would open the door before entering the dormitory, only to find that in addition to the three roommates who were playing games with him all day closed, there was also a person inside.

This is a beautiful woman with a good appearance, sitting on a chair in the center of the dormitory, and Su Wen's three roommates are like bees seeing flowers, diligently circling around the beauty.

Su Wengang felt that this beauty was a little familiar, so he saw her stand up and greet her, and hurriedly said, "Senior Brother Su, senior sister, I asked you for help!" (To be continued.) )
