Chapter 49 KBS Signing
I asked myself to deal with many difficult writers, and I can deal with it easily. Looking at Li Shengxian, who had an indifferent expression in front of him, but was actually unbelievably reasonable, the bargaining reason he had prepared earlier seemed to hit the air with a punch.
After talking about the distribution of power among the crew, Gu Chengbiao also said directly: "Writer Li, how many episodes of script can you write about the adaptation of this novel?" ”
For now, there will be at least 150 episodes. Of course, this is a rough estimate, and how many episodes can actually be written depends on the subsequent adaptation decision. ’
'Then does Writer Li have any requirements for the remuneration of the script? ’
Regarding this question, Li Shengxian thought for a while and said: "I really don't know about this!" Prince No. 1 store, the script given to me by MBC is six million episodes. The remuneration of this drama, I'd better listen to your conditions first! ”
Although Li Shengxian did not say the specific price, he can know how much he has a table. With the current fame of Lee Sung-hyun, the price of his second adapted screenplay, I am afraid that it is unlikely that he will give another 6 million episodes.
Thinking of the minimum price per episode of the remuneration given by the president at that time, I understood that Lee Sung-hyun gave up so many rights, if he still deducted the remuneration. If it is transmitted to other TV stations, I am afraid that it will also make others laugh at their KBS stinginess.
Even if he doesn't have much contact with Li Shengxian, he can see that Li Shengxian's attitude towards people is very direct. To like is to like, and if you don't like it, you simply ignore it. There is really no need to negotiate with this kind of person.
He also said directly: "Writer Li, before I came, our president probably talked about the remuneration. In view of the fact that Writer Li is so refreshing, we also hope to have the opportunity to work with you in the future. This time, the script is calculated at 10 million per episode, how about it? ”
A writer who can sell 10 million scripts per episode can also be called a popular writer in Korea. Even though Lee Sung-hyun is young now, a ratings champion drama makes him indeed qualified to be called the youngest popular writer in South Korea.
And Gu Chengbiao also believes that if this drama can continue the success of Lee Sung-hyun's last drama. So in the next step, the price of Li Shengxian's script will soar again. This is why popular writers are respected in Korea.
For the price that Gu Chengbiao said, Li Shengxian was still a little surprised. can think of writing hundreds of episodes of scripts, thinking that he will not be able to take on other script work next year, and this price seems to be fair.
Just when Gu Chengbiao was worried that Li Shengxian had objections, he saw that the other party hesitated and nodded: "Yes!" ”
Thinking that next year's script income alone, he will earn back the money he made to buy a café. Lee Sung-hyun finally understood why Huang Meiying and the others would say that writers have high incomes. This income is indeed much higher than that of idols exploited by brokerage companies!
Hearing that Li Shengxian agreed to this price, Gu Chengbiao breathed a sigh of relief, and also said with a smile: "Since Writer Li has no opinion, can we sign the contract first today?" ”
'Yes! ’
In Lee Sung-hyun's view, he was also quite satisfied with the conditions offered by KBS. Since he was satisfied, he signed the contract early, and other TV stations in the province came to contact him. After all, he's not good at refusal!
When does Writer Li expect your novel to end? Because this is a feature-length drama, we also need to make some relevant preparations in advance when preparing for the start of filming. ’
'It's probably going to be a year later!' ’
Given this time, Gu Chengbiao thought about it and said with a smile: "Then it seems that next year's Japanese drama will come to an end." Okay, I'll have someone draw up the contract now, and I'll ask Writer Li to wait a while. ”
'It's okay, I'm not in a hurry! If Minister Gu doesn't mind, can I visit your desk later? ’
'Absolutely!' After the contract is signed, I will personally accompany you to see our KBS production center and performing arts center. How is it? ’
For this, Gu Chengbiao, who originally thought that Li Shengxian would agree, shook his head and said, "Forget it! I just want to visit, and Minister Gu can send someone to take me there. You're a minister, so you don't have the same leisurely time as me, do you? ”
Gu Chengbiao, who was stunned by what he said, also smiled and said, "Indeed! Then I'll ask Assistant Cui to accompany Writer Li around. Oh, the afternoon just happened to record the music bank, and if Writer Li is interested, he can also go to experience the atmosphere up close. ”
As a music program on KBS, the music bank's authoritative music comprehensive consideration has made the show one of the wind indicators of Korean music, and its awards are very important affirmation and support for singers.
The show is once a week, and the songs are all new songs from artists who have just released a record. If some singers and groups release new films, they will appear in the show for a period of time, commonly known as "playing songs".
Hearing Gu Chengbiao's recommendation, Li Shengxian's mind flashed back to the nine girls he saw yesterday. According to the memory in my head, Girls' Generation really became famous, as if it was in this music show that she won nine consecutive championships.
Not long after, Cui Qihang, who had greeted him downstairs before, printed out the contract. handed it over to Gu Chengbiao and looked at it, and then said, "Writer Li, you take a look at the contract first." If in doubt, just speak up and we'll talk! ”
After taking the contract and checking it carefully, and finding that there was no problem, Li Shengxian nodded and signed his name. After handing the contract back to the form, the minister also signed it on behalf of KBS.
After taking one of the contracts, Li Shengxian also knew that next year's job was also available. Now all he has to do is write the rest of the manuscript. In addition, I have to start writing the script for this novel.
After signing the contract, Lee Sung-hyun didn't talk much with Gu Chengbiao. Anyway, today I just signed a contract and decided to sell the TV adaptation rights of Lee Sung-hyun's second online novel 'You Are My Destiny' to KBS.
In addition to the cost of adapting the screenplay, the TV copyright fee for the novel is also quite a lot. Compared to the cost of the script, KBS will not pay until the script is written. The copyright fee of 200 million yuan can be obtained after the contract is signed.
Compared with the first novel, which only had a copyright fee of 20 million, the price this time has undoubtedly increased tenfold. can calculate the number of episodes of the adapted script, and the copyright fee of 200 million is not much.
can be converted into the income of the next script, Li Shengxian also thinks that the price is very good. Compared with other screenwriters, they can only charge for the script. He can also earn an extra royalty, which is already a good deal.
After the qiē was done, Cui Qihang took Li Shengxian very enthusiastically and began to visit the KBS headquarters zuò center. Of course, for the music bank studio recommended by the table, it is natural to visit it.
Just arrived at the backstage prepared by the singer, listening to Lee Sung-hyun introduced by Cui Qihang. Soon after hearing it, a slightly unexpected voice came from behind him: "Sage oppa, why are you here?" ”
Li Shengxian, who turned around when he heard the voice, also said with some surprise: "Lin Yun'er, Xu Xian, why are you here?" ”
'We're here to play!' Are you here to help us? ’
Seeing that it was really Li Shengxian, Lin Yun'er and Xu Xian, who had just come out of the bathroom, were also very surprised. It's just that they didn't realize that this unexpected reunion-like scene was seen and remembered by Cui Qihang!
