"Sister, can you take back the spy script?"

In the parking lot, Sun Peng sat in the car and struggled for a while, and then called the second sister.

"Of course not!"

subconsciously replied first, and then Sun Ya asked in surprise: "We have already signed a contract with someone...... Of course, if you haven't delivered the goods yet, you can just pay a high penalty for liquidated damages, but now the script has been handed in...... What's wrong? Are you talking about it? ”

"What if you have to take it back? Is there a way? ”

Without answering the second sister's question, Sun Peng continued to ask.

"This ...... It's hard, I'm afraid. ”

After hesitating for a moment, Sun Ya said helplessly: "The key depends on how far the other party is preparing now." If it's just on paper, maybe we can discuss it. If you have already started to make props, or if you have already signed a contract with an actor, you need to consider these losses along with them...... I said Xiaopeng, what the hell is going on? Why do you suddenly have to take back the script? ”

After hearing that it was okay to talk, Sun Peng first breathed a sigh of relief, and then immediately said in a deep voice: "Because I just knew that their so-called investment of 300 million yuan actually includes the actor's salary!" Hehe...... I also blamed me for being too layman, and I didn't even ask clearly! ”

"This ...... Does it matter a lot? ”

Hearing what the little brother said, Sun Ya couldn't help but ask.

Although she is a lawyer, she knows less than Sun Peng in terms of movies. Sun Peng knows his script better and knows that the production cost of more than 100 million yuan can't make anything good at all, but Sun Ya has almost no concept, so he didn't pay attention to this when he first read the contract.

"Of course, it's a big deal!"

Nodding vigorously, Sun Peng said very unhappily: "Let me tell you this, if you cut off the salary, you will be ruining my script!" My psychological bottom line is 300 million production fees, but now Galloping Horse invites Tang Long, Qiu Bingbing and Bai Renmu to star, and the salary must also be included in the production fee! ”

"Huh? Wouldn't that cost tens of millions? ”

After listening to Sun Peng's explanation, Sun Ya suddenly exclaimed!

Even if she doesn't understand the Tao in the movie anymore, as an ordinary person, Sun Ya also knows that the actors' salaries are scary now, and she often reads reports to criticize this. If that's the case, it's really a little far from my brother's request.

"Tens of millions? At least more than 100 million! And maybe it will include the cost of publicity! ”

Thinking of the words of the two people just now, Sun Peng shook his head and sighed: "Sister, come back now, let's go negotiate with Galloping Horse Pictures, the production cost of the spy must reach 300 million after deducting the actor's salary!" Otherwise, I'd rather lose money than get the script back! ”

"This ...... Xiaopeng, you have to think about it! ”

Sun Ya's voice suddenly became hesitant, and she said in a deep voice: "Let's not say that the contract is signed and the script is handed in, if people don't agree, it will be difficult to take it back, just say that you want to rely on the way you spend money, it is estimated that it is a very large amount!" ”

"Sister, I've thought about it!"

Gritting his teeth, Sun Peng said in a deep voice: "As long as it is within my bearing, I would rather spend money than let them spoil their script!" ”

At this moment, Sun Peng also regretted it.

I was still too naïve, and I didn't know much about the film industry at all, so I hastily came up with three scripts. God knows what happened to Lotus and the Forbidden City other than the galloping horse? I was still proud at the beginning, thinking that the fame I had accumulated in the past few years was big enough, so I found an investor so easily!

Now think about it, what is not naivety?

It's all good things on the planet, why don't people want to buy them if they're not blind?

But buying it doesn't mean that you will definitely do it according to Sun Peng's ideas, which he can't control at all!

If it is placed in China on the earth, the total investment of 300 million may not be less, after all, the investment and promotion of domestic films have always been amazing. But in this Huaxia, where the scale of the economy is several times larger and the per capita is also several times higher, the investment of 300 million yuan is at most a medium level, not to mention the remuneration of the stars, Sun Peng finds it hard to believe that he can shoot good things with this little money.

"Okay!"

After thinking about it for a while, Sun Ya finally nodded and said, "You wait for me over there, and I'll go back immediately......"

……

"Smack!"

"It's arrogant!"

slapped the table fiercely, Gong Fan said angrily: "He really thinks that he will go to heaven after writing a few books?" 300 million production costs? Who does he think he is? Qiao Zhiyu? ”

“……”

Looking at the vice president of Galloping Horse Pictures, who lost his temper, Xing Jiazhong was silent.

Xing Jiazhong really knew the cause and effect of this incident, after all, it was Sun Ya who he received at the beginning, and he also knew that the company had promised others a production fee of 300 million...... As for whether the production fee includes the production fee of the remuneration or the production fee that does not include the remuneration, the company was vague and did not explain it at the beginning.

That is, a layman like Sun Peng would make such a mistake.

But......

Glancing at Tang Long and Bian Lin, who were also not good-looking next to him, Xing Jiazhong said slowly: "Mr. Gong, whether he has this qualification or not, the problem now is that he has already done this, what should we do?" ”

"Hmph, how much money is he going to pay to buy the script back?"

His face sank, and Gong Fan immediately asked.

"At least three million!"

"Three million? Would he rather lose three million than redeem the script? ”

After listening to Xing Jiazhong's answer, the anger on Gong Fan's face gradually receded, replaced by surprise and solemnity: "Old Xing, I remember that this Sun Peng is the screenwriter of "Criminal Minds", and he also wrote several martial arts that have been very popular recently, right?" ”

"Not only that, he is also a songwriter, and he is the most important partner of Luo Cheng, Chen Feifei and Ma Boyuan!"

With his hands spread, Xing Jiazhong's tone was also full of helplessness: "So I personally suggest that it is best to discuss it with Mr. Sun and find a plan that is acceptable to both parties!" ”

If possible, he really didn't want the department to get the three million in the account.

It's not because I feel that the spy is indispensable, but in the face of a well-known writer with millions of fans, these three million are really burning!

Think about it, isn't that the truth?

An unknown rookie screenwriter and an energetic rookie screenwriter are completely two concepts! Otherwise, when they came to cast the script, how could Xing Jiazhong attach so much importance to it? How could Tang Long be interested all of a sudden? There is also a movie with an investment of 300 million, is it really so easy to pass the company's approval?

Speaking of which, in addition to the fact that the script is really good, it is not because of Sun Peng's identity!

On the one hand, because Sun Peng's past success gave them confidence, and on the other hand, because of Sun Peng's millions of fans, look at other people's "Criminal Minds" and that cartoon, no fan can become popular all of a sudden?

So such a person must not be treated as an ordinary screenwriter.

If it really falls out, Galloping Horse Film and Television will definitely not be the one who takes advantage.

If you collect money and return the script, people will find another one to sell it silently. And then threw so much money in vain, don't you shout and complain? Then when others asked why, Sun Peng directly said that Galloping Horse Pictures was too picky, and the promised production fee became 300 million plus star salaries, so I would rather lose money than let the girls spoil my script......

Evil is not disgusting, is it not ashamed to be embarrassed?

If you insist on not paying it back, and then continue to invest in filming spy in spies, people can also call on fans not to go to the movie, which not only fails to meet the expectations of the screenwriter is a well-known writer's advantage, but also resists. Moreover, if the box office is really bad by then......

Gong Fan is not a fool, of course he understands the truth in this.

Although Galloping Horse Pictures has a big business, it is not on the same order of magnitude as the other party; Although Gong Fan just said that the other party had only written a few books, he ......

Is that really the case?

So after frowning and muttering for a while, Gong Fan quickly looked at Tang Long and Bian Lin: "Two teachers, what do you think about this matter?" ”

For these two, Gong Fan can't be so polite.

In the final analysis, Xing Jiazhong is his subordinate, but Tang Long and Bian Lin are cooperative relations, although they are also nominally artists under the company, their identities and status are very different.

"We? Of course we hope to keep shooting! ”

After glancing at Tang Long first, Bian Lin sighed and said, "To be honest, the script is really well written, and I am also very confident that I can make a good movie!" But...... Just like Mr. Sun said, the investment of production costs still has an impact on the quality of the film, and I agree with him in this regard. But ......"

After a pause, Bian Lin continued: "As a director, I will do my best to shoot this movie no matter how much investment I make, so the key depends on the company's decision." ”

“…… Old slippery head! ”

Hearing Bian Lin's words, Tang Long couldn't help but roll his eyes.

He emphasized his obedience to the company's decision, and seemed to be loyal; He also expressed his hope that the production cost would be higher and that he could make the movie better, which is really ......

"Hehe, that's what I mean!"

Tang Long's subsequent statement made Gong Fan's eyes squint instantly.

Ma Dan, how come these so-called artists are all this virtue? Who doesn't know that you can do well with a high investment, the question is can you earn your money back?

In addition to those historical masterpieces that can be walked out of China, film income generally depends on the box office and various networks, TV broadcast rights, and in recent years, it has slowly begun to have other incomes such as books, games and various peripherals. But in general, the real big head is the box office, for example, the box office of Galloping Horse Pictures accounts for six or seven percent of the total revenue!

With an investment of 300 million, the box office will need at least six or seven billion to recover!

If the pure production fee rises to 300 million in one go, plus the salary and publicity is 500 million, can the box office of this film be 1 billion? You must know that no matter Tang Long or Bian Lin, it seems that they have not made a billion-dollar film, right?

The other two bigwigs who were replaced by the company may be about the same!

So after thinking about it, Gong Fan's expression gradually became indifferent. Maybe another 100 million investment is nothing for the company, but it is still 100 million after all......

The stakes are too great!

And as the vice president in charge of investment, Gong Fan doesn't want to make such an opening: if everyone is not satisfied with the investment amount in the future, they will make a fuss, and they will not talk about the rules?

"We can talk about it again, but we have to keep the bottom line!"

After a while, Gong Fan said in a deep voice: "The investment of 300 million yuan cannot be increased again, but we must have a good talk with him and strive to make him understand us." In addition, Mr. Bian, I think you can also consider the issue of casting and see if you can reduce some costs appropriately......"
