After hearing Xiao Ran's answer, Huo Chengen's face did not show any expression, not even a little disappointed.

Maybe when he found Xiao Ran, he had already expected that Xiao Ran would definitely refuse.

And under Xiao Ran's direct refusal, Huo Chengen was not dissatisfied, because standing in Xiao Ran's position, it was rational to choose to cooperate with a film company like Yida Group, if Xiao Ran really agreed to the invitation of the declining Encyclopedia Film Company, then Xiao Ran's brain would really be broken.

So Huo Chengen obviously prepared other words: "That's a pity, but it's right!" Now Yida Group's cinema strength is the first in the country, and it supports Mr. Xiao to set up a film company on his own, so it is understandable that Mr. Xiao is willing to Yida Group, but Cheng En has a sentence that I don't know whether to say? ”

Huo Chengen's pretentious attitude made Xiao Ran a little annoying, do you think you are making costume films? If you don't want to talk about it, you're here to dry the hair?

But I thought so in my heart, and I had to be hypocritical: "Mr. Huo, it's okay to say it!" ”

Huo Chengen continued: "Now the monopoly position of Yida Group is getting stronger and stronger, and Mr. Xiao's joining is even more powerful, and the recent "Journey to the West: Moonlight Treasure Box" has snatched away the audiences of our two theaters, Encyclopedia and Jiayi, seeing that the day of dominating the film industry is just around the corner, but has Mr. Xiao ever thought that now Yida Group can give you so much support, mainly because he wants to use you to fight against Encyclopedia and Jiayi, and eat us away after we are powerless to fight back, But when it really comes to the time when only Yida Cinema Line is the only one left in the country, it is estimated that Mr. Xiao's life will not be easy. ”

Xiao Ran had already thought about this. As the so-called flying birds are exhausted, the good bow is hidden!

Wait until Yida Group really has an overwhelming advantage in the strength of the cinema chain in China. Xiao Ran's movie has no other choice than to be released in the theaters of Yida Group. At that time, it would be a fantasy to want to have exclusive control over a film company formed in the name of several senior brothers.

So Xiao Ran made a look of being awakened by a word and said: "What Mr. Huo said is really reasonable, but for the time being, Xiao Ran can't completely break away from the cooperation with Yida Group, in fact, I have a way to ensure that the Encyclopedia Cinema Line continues to be maintained, and may still have a slight surplus, I don't know if Mr. Huo can give it a try?" ”

Huo Chengen is also a good actor, and when he heard Xiao Ran so much, he hurriedly said excitedly: "Brother Xiao really has a way to help us Encyclopedia?" Then please speak quickly. ”

This time, Huo Chengen's title has changed. It is clearly preparing to bring the relationship between the two sides one step closer.

Xiao Ran said: "I and my team can't help any shooting by Encyclopedia Films, but what is the biggest factor in the success of a movie?" Nature is the script, the so-called script is the book of a play, and a script can be attached to the screenwriter's real name, but it can also be attached to the pen name of the screenwriter! ”

Huo Chengen was even more excited: "Brother Xiao means that you write the script under an affiliated pseudonym and hand it over to our Encyclopedia Film Company to shoot?" ”

Xiao Ran smiled: "Yes, I don't know if Brother Huo thinks this method is good?" Although my own name can't be attached to the script, in fact, audiences who actually go to the cinema to watch movies rarely pay attention to who the screenwriter is, so if Brother Huo can trust the younger brother. It's better to give it a try, but it's not feasible. ”

Xiao Ran's title has also changed, after all, the other party is here to send him money, and it is not a problem to call someone who is a little more affectionate. Moreover, anonymous screenwriters are often seen in the film industry.

Although the role of the script in a movie is self-evident, it is true that few viewers will pay attention to the name of the screenwriter. The screenwriter can also be regarded as a tragic figure in the film industry.

When a drama is good, the audience may praise the director and actors for their good cooperation. The performance is strong, but if it is not good-looking. will scold, which bastard wrote a movie this for, and his IQ is worse than that of a dog!

All kinds of ugly words can be said, but the Huo family father and son, who have been running movies for many years, know the importance of a movie script, such as the movie "Smiling Proud Jianghu", although there are actors, actresses and queens joined, and Xu Guangwen, who was named the most talented director in the new era, although he has not won the Golden Dragon Award but is regarded as the uncrowned king, but if there is no good script, the box office will be 200 million.

Therefore, Xiao Ran is willing to write a script for the film company under Encyclopedia, which proves that Xiao Ran does take into account the situation he said.

In order to avoid the dominance of Yida Group, Xiao Ran is really willing to help support Encyclopedia and Jiayi!

So Huo Chengen said excitedly: "That's naturally a great thing, but what kind of share should Brother Xiao definitely use to be satisfied?" ”

Xiao Ran opened his mouth a little bit: "I want to get a share of 15% of the net profit of the movie!" ”

This number made Huo Chengen's face change greatly, because a normal screenwriter who has just entered the industry, if he chooses to share the script, he can get three percent, even if he is a famous screenwriter, at most he will get about five to seven percent.

But as soon as Xiao Ran opened his mouth, he asked for fifteen percent, and he was sad that Huo Chengen's reaction would appear so exaggeratedly on his face, but soon he suppressed his temper and continued to say gently: "Originally, with Brother Xiao's fame in the film industry at this time, fifteen percent of the film's net profit is not too much, but after all, you are an anonymous screenwriter, and the impact of fame is not, can you take a look at eight percent?" ”

Xiao Ran shook his head and said, "Brother Huo, let's do it, junior brother will take another step, twelve percent!" ”

For the benefits he deserves, Xiao Ran is naturally fighting for every penny, and Huo Chengen can only plead again: "The script written by Brother Xiao, our Encyclopedia will definitely invest a huge amount of money to find the best director and actors to shoot your script, so the profit itself is limited, can you see if you can make another step, ten percent, right?" ”

This number is in Xiao Ran's bearable bottom line, so Xiao Ran nodded and said, "Then listen to Brother Huo." ”

Hearing Xiao Ran's words, Huo Chengen breathed a sigh of relief, who knew that Xiao Ran said again: "But I have a Jianyì, I hope Brother Huo can adopt it, I have watched many TV series jointly produced by Encyclopedia and Yanjing TV, among which the strongest director is Li Shengtian, so if you can, I hope that Brother Huo will consider this director first, and he has the strength to shoot my book well!" ”

Xiao Ran's proposal was proposed, Huo Chengen naturally considered it carefully, and finally nodded and agreed: "I believe in Brother Xiao's vision, and at the same time, I also hope that your script is mainly a comedy or kung fu movie, and can be handed over to Director Li as much as possible. ”

Huo Chengen's idea is very reliable, because now the movies under Yida Group are too strong, especially the movies shot by Xiao Ran were taken out by Lu Yuesheng as trump card movies, and Encyclopedia does not have the strength to fight with Xiao Ran's movies at all, so he rationally chose to avoid Xiao Ran's schedule!

"Within 10 days, the script will be written."

Xiao Ran's assurance surprised Huo Chengen again, and after repeated successes, Xiao Ran revealed the kind of confidence that could only make people willing to be convinced!

"Then I'll wait for Brother Xiao's good news, Brother Xiao's movie is still being filmed intensely, so Cheng En won't bother you and leave first."

Xiao Ran also said politely: "Then Brother Huo is good, by the way, I will greet Old Man Huo for me, the younger brother is a loyal fan of Old Man Huo, and I have heard my father mention Old Man Huo's deeds since he was a child!" ”

"Brother Xiao really has a heart, Cheng En will definitely convey it for you."

Indeed, the old man Huo of Encyclopedia Cinema, that is, Huo Chengen's father Huo Dongjun, is really Xiao Ran's idol, this old gentleman was a very famous figure on the road when he was young, and later founded Encyclopedia Film Company, he has been committed to shooting various Jianghu movies!

Twenty years ago, Encyclopedia was definitely the most famous film company in the whole of China, and it was also the endorsement of the best movie!

It's a pity that later because of the downturn in the film market, and the Huo family's business in other aspects has not been able to go up, so in order to support it, Huo Dongjun introduced the high-level shareholders of Yanjing TV Station, and shared the cinema resources of the film company and the talent resources of the TV station, and achieved a self-produced and self-sold film and television kingdom, which barely lasted for more than ten years of downturn!

But later, because the movies released by his own family began to suffer Waterloo repeatedly, Huo Dongjun could only be forced to close some of his cinemas, and finally these cinemas were acquired by Yida Group, which Huo Dongjun did not pay attention to at that time, and with the super ability of Tianlai.com to attract money, coupled with the rising business of its hotel business, Lu Yuesheng began to become a new cinema tycoon, directly squeezing the Huo family to a point where the two ends are not on the side.

Now the main direction of the encyclopedia lies in the production of TV dramas, and its theaters are basically based on the screening of foreign films, only during the annual holidays, such as New Year's Day and Children's Day, will their own films be released, and the large-scale films will have to wait until the Chinese New Year, May Day and Eleventh Golden Period before they dare to be released, it can be said that it has long ceased to be the courage of the year, and it is struggling to support!

10% total profit share!

After sending Huo Chengen away, Xiao Ran smiled with satisfaction!

This share is actually not small, and there are still 58 large and small theaters left under the Encyclopedia, if there is a box office blockbuster movie, in fact, 10% of the total profit share is not a small amount! (To be continued......)
