Chapter 107: The General Trend (Asking for Recommendation Votes)
Liu Ming looked at Ye Liyun's light expression, not happy with things, and even more sensed that Ye Li's was not simple, and then his attitude became more and more solemn, and said: "According to this script, if you shoot with all your might, the investment may exceed 50 million, not more than 100 million." The minimum standard for the script under the investment of 100 million yuan is 500,000 yuan. ”
He paused and continued: "Although this script has not yet been written, with your ability to grasp the market, I think the company will give a price of one million yuan, and the advance payment is 30%. And if the film pays for itself, it will give you five percent of the net profit from the film. ”
Ye Li said: "Very impressive price and contract. ”
But he immediately smiled and said, "But what I want is five percent of my gross income." ”
Ye Li, who had some understanding of this price in his previous life, knew that if it was five percent of the net profit, the actual amount he got would be very small.
Because even if the film is a hit, it will be the production company that makes money, the stars, and the director make money, and after deducting the distribution and screening costs, the net profit of five percent is pitiful.
The gross income refers to the amount of direct income from the ticket outlets of each theater, which is very different from net profit.
Hearing this, Liu Ming's face became more and more solemn, he didn't expect Ye Li to be so clear. But he immediately shook his head.
Unless it is a screenwriter who is already popular, it is possible to get this price. And no matter how famous Ye Li is, he can only be regarded as a novice screenwriter.
Ye Li smiled slightly and said: "In the three pages above, I have analyzed the current trend of the film in detail, analyzed the core of this vampire story, and even predicted what kind of market it can occupy." What I didn't say was that if a movie really wants to be a big hit, it must have a big trend. Only when the general trend is obtained, will the door to victory be opened. ”
This is what he talked about with the general manager of Jinxin Film and Television Company before, but at that time he was reluctant to tell his experience.
"The general trend?" Liu Ming's eyes slowly lit up, and then he raised his head, he didn't expect Ye Li to feel this way.
Looking at the other party's expression, Ye Li's previous unfinished feeling came up, and at this moment, he talked eloquently: "The so-called popular themes, follow-up themes, suspense, conflicts, music effects, etc., are all details, all of which are just forms of expression, but the core cannot be changed, whether it is love, friendship, brotherly love, even if it is because of the revenge of love, because of justice and evil, their core is emotion." ”
Hearing this, Liu Ming savored Ye Li's words, his eyes moved, and he stared at Ye Li tightly.
Ye Li smiled slightly and continued: "And the general trend I am talking about is the trend of film technology, the thirst of the film market, and the wealth that people pursue spiritually. ”
Hearing this, Liu Ming fell into deep thought, because every article Ye Li proposed hit his heart.
Ye Li paused and continued: "So, seize the market, take the classic screenwriting form and market of the movie as the shell, and take emotion as the core, with such a good script, the movie will be half of the success first, and next, it will be the skills of the director and actors." ”
When Ye Li said this, when he found that the other party's eyes were shining brightly, he knew that he had made the other party identify with him.
This is exactly the conclusion he came to these days after he frantically sorted it out and combined it with his own novels, but he didn't expect to be recognized by the other party.
At this moment, he had a vivid feeling of pleasure in his heart.
"Well said! If your script is up to a certain level, I can make that decision for you on my own. Liu Ming stood up with a solemn face, said carefully, and stretched out his hand to Ye Li: "By the way, I will introduce myself again." My name is Liu Ming, and I am the general manager of Tianhong Media Film and Television Company.
Hearing this, Ye Li was stunned.
He felt that the other party was not an ordinary person, and his status might be very high, but he didn't expect the other party's status to be so high.
No wonder the other party can make a decision at once, and has such a right to directly pay this price.
Then Ye Li clenched the other party's hand and said, "Thank you, Mr. Liu, happy cooperation." ”
He knew he was finally taking the first step towards a smooth one.
And his first draft of that script has actually been written, and now he only needs to polish his pen, and it definitely doesn't take too much time.
"It's a pleasure to work with."
Liu Ming clenched Ye Li's hand, and a powerful force came from it, showing the firmness in his heart: "Then, write the script as soon as possible, we must speed up, determine the script and actors as soon as possible, and strive to start filming within a week, and strive to seize the market cake before the release of the film of Mojia Media Company as soon as possible!" ”
"Okay, no problem."
Ye Li didn't expect that the other party would also rush to confront Mojia Media Company, and suddenly, a feeling of happiness and complacency surged in his heart.
And after signing the contract, there is a 30% advance payment, and once the script is completed, you can get a total of 80% of the advance payment, and you will not get the rest of the money until the film is finished.
This money is enough for Ye Li to do a lot of things.
Thinking of this, Ye Li's heart became more and more cheerful, and then he surged with the desire to complete the script.
"That's right," Liu Ming seemed to remember something, and said with a solemn expression: "The script must pass Director Wang's review before the project can be approved." ”
"Director Wang? Which Wang Dao? Ye Li was stunned.
"Director Wang Ruien." Liu Ming said.
Ye Li was stunned: "You also invited Director Wang to your film and television company?" ”
Then he immediately showed a big smile, because if there is such a director, the show is half the success!
Wang Ruien was originally a film and television star, but he cared very much about his family, and he thought that he would stop filming after marriage, so after getting married, he began to pay attention to his family. Although he claims that he doesn't know how to create a romantic atmosphere, countless people think that he is a model of a good man with a warm family.
Since then, he has become a director, and several films he has made in three consecutive years have been very popular.
And Ye Li knows that this director Wang is very careful about grasping any details, especially attaching great importance to film music.
"Director Wang is a person who strives for excellence, and it is very difficult to convince him. I can't control him. Liu Ming said emphatically.
"I'll do my best!" Ye Li said seriously, his eyes were full of determination.
