Chapter Seventy-Six: Ye Feng's Request
Since the end of last year, Shuanglu TV's martial arts dramas have been struggling to win ratings, and today, Nanhe TV's has robbed a lot of viewers, for this matter, Zhao Jiangfeng is sad and gray-haired, and now the opportunity to counterattack is in front of him, of course he has to seize it.
"Little Brother Ye, look at how this is, a one-time buyout, I will give you a price of 20,000 yuan per episode."
In all fairness, 20,000 yuan per episode is a high price for a newcomer like Ye Feng, after all, although the script of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is good, Zhao Jiangfeng is not a traverser, and he doesn't know how popular "Smiling Proud Jianghu" will be.
Zhao Jiangfeng doesn't know what to do, but Ye Feng knows very well, not to mention that now the country's martial arts dramas are revival, don't think about it, you don't have to think about how much storm it will set off once "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is launched, such a TV series that will be popular all over the country, Ye Feng of course will not sell it to Nanhe TV so easily at one time, not to mention anything else, when the TV series is popular, sell the replay rights, and the benefits will not be much lower than the price of this one-time buyout.
Ye Feng clearly remembers that a TV station on Hong Kong Island fired a high price of 150,000 yuan for the rebroadcast rights of this TV series, even if there will be some changes in this world, but there will not be too much gap in the future, so unless his brain is in water, he will agree to buy it out completely at the price of 20,000 yuan per episode.
"Mr. Zhao, I don't consider a one-time buyout, if you really want it sincerely, then share it according to the copyright, I don't want much, just five percent of the profit."
The five percent that Ye Feng said is, of course, the money left after deducting the relevant expenses of the TV station, don't look at the five percent, it seems to be very little, but with the popularity of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", this five percent will definitely surprise many people.
Zhao Jiangfeng didn't think about it so much, although he was more optimistic about "Smiling Proud Jianghu", but he didn't think that "Smiling Proud Jianghu" would be so popular and how much profit it would generate, but out of an instinctive sense of crisis, he still wanted a one-time buyout.
"Little Brother Ye, in my opinion, it's better for you to accept a one-time buyout, after all, no one can predict the outcome if the TV series is not broadcast, if you choose to share, then there will be considerable risks, and you don't have to bear these risks at all. If you don't think the price is right, then we can also negotiate. ”
Ye Feng smiled and shook his head: "Mr. Zhao, there is no need to say anything about a one-time buyout, I really won't think about it, if you continue to insist, then I can only say sorry, and then take the script to try it elsewhere." ”
Ye Feng's words hit Zhao Jiangfeng's soft underbelly, what he was most afraid of was that Ye Feng would take the script to Shuanglu TV, if that was the case, he would really want to cry without tears.
After pondering for a long time, Zhao Jiangfeng finally nodded: "Five percent is five percent, I agreed, when can we sign the contract?" ”
Ye Feng knew that it was impossible for Zhao Jiangfeng to refuse, smiled a little, and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Zhao, in addition to these five percent, I also have two small requirements. ”
Zhao Jiangfeng didn't expect that Ye Feng had a lot to do, but considering that he was asking for someone now, he couldn't turn his face, so he could only ask patiently: "What request?" ”
Ye Feng raised a finger: "First, I have the right to choose the starring role." ”
Hearing this request, Zhao Jiangfeng didn't say anything, Director Li Er, who was still reading the script on the side, was anxious, what are you doing as a screenwriter meddling in the actor's affairs? This is an acre and a third of his land as a director.
"Little Brother Ye, this actor can't be arranged randomly, especially the starring role, if the selection is not good, the level of the TV series will plummet, I think I am more professional in this regard." Director Li Er's voice was already a little cold when he spoke, he didn't like others to install actors in his TV series the most, because these actors are often related households, not only their image and temperament do not meet his requirements, but even their acting skills will not be up to par, in his opinion, Ye Feng wants this choice, it is very likely that he wants to put some friends in, which is unacceptable to him.
"Young man, what the second child said is right, professional things should still be done by professional people, your script is very good, if for some reason you let some messy people play it, then it will be a waste of this excellent script, right?" Director Li Da also interjected, he also has no good impression of other people installing actors in movies and TV series.
Seeing the appearance of the two, Ye Feng couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said: "A few misunderstandings, I don't know any actor friends, and I don't have the intention of installing acquaintances as the leading actors, my purpose is very simple, that is, I can't choose some people who are completely unsuitable to be the leading actors, so let's take a step back, I don't want the right to choose, I just need the right to veto, you choose the leading role, but if he doesn't meet the image of the characters in my script, then I have the right to veto, so do you think it's okay?" ”
In fact, Ye Feng's idea is very simple, "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is his film and television work, and it is closely related to his interests, so he wants to be as perfect as possible, especially after watching many remakes of TV series in his previous life, he is very worried that random casting will make the leading actors of the TV series become village husbands and village women, which will be a tragedy.
Hearing Ye Feng say this, Director Li Er and Director Li Da's faces suddenly looked a lot better, since they didn't want to insert inexplicable acquaintances to come in as the starring roles, then this condition is not so unacceptable, not to mention that such a thing is not without precedent.
"Okay, I agreed to this condition, let's talk about your second condition."
Since Director Li Er doesn't object, Zhao Jiangfeng doesn't really matter.
Ye Feng raised two fingers: "This second requirement is that I have to follow the crew during filming." ”
This time, Zhao Jiangfeng, Director Li Er and others glanced at each other, they were a little inexplicable, and they didn't understand the intention of Ye Feng's move, but this condition was really nothing, so they ran along if they weren't too tired.
"No problem, are there any other requirements?" Zhao Jiangfeng asked.
"It's gone." Ye Feng shook his head, this second requirement was actually thought of as early as when he started writing "Smiling Proud Jianghu", he didn't plan to write a script for others for a lifetime, he would have to make his own movies sooner or later, there is no harm in learning it in advance now, not to mention that he knows very little about the film and television industry in this world, and many things can't be answered on the Internet.
