Three days later......

"Gentlemen, what do you think?"

After walking into the conference room, Fang Lan Shen sat down on a chair and asked with a smile.

With Sun Peng's consent three days ago, Fang Lanshen kept the three scripts, and then summoned three senior screenwriters from Forbidden City Pictures and gave them three days to review the scripts. Of course, it can only be read in the company, and the script is absolutely not allowed to be taken away, and Fang Lanshen believes that they will not say it casually if they have signed a confidentiality agreement.

Each person reads one per day, and it takes three days to finish it.

"Mr. Fang, I am personally convinced!"

After a moment of silence, a middle-aged man in his early forties pushed his eyes on the bridge of his nose, shook his head and sighed lightly: "Three scripts, three genres, but each one is extremely exciting!" Mission Impossible is strange, Bourne's identity is dangerous, and Hurricane rescue is ruthless...... And all three scripts are very cool! I have to admit that I can't write any of them! ”

“……”

In response to the middle-aged man's words, the other two were silent.

Although I don't want to agree with this sentence, but after reading these three scripts, the other two can't refute it - everyone is an expert, and Fang Lanshen in front of him has also been in the film industry for decades, who can favor whom?

If you really want to be able to write it, and still use it to look at this thing?

Fang Lanshen actually has a bottom in his heart, but it was only after being recognized by three capable generals that he finally determined the value of these three scripts......

Or in other words, the value of that young man named Sun Peng!

Just when Fang Lanshen's eyes flickered frequently, pondering Sun Peng, another old screenwriter suddenly asked: "Mr. Fang, the three are indeed good scripts, I strongly recommend that you buy them as soon as possible!" I don't know if you've found it, these three scripts are completely different from the style of domestic spy films, and they seem to be ...... It's a bit of an imitation of the meaning of the United States, and the style is quite strong! ”

"Huh? Do you see the old horse? ”

The man with glasses blinked, and immediately nodded: "I think so too, and I think this script is not just a matter of imitation...... They are simply authentic! Mr. Fang, I also highly recommend buying them as soon as possible! Not only will the domestic audience like it, but if you take it out, maybe there will be a market! ”

“…… I know. ”

Nodding, Fang Lanshen said lightly.

In fact, after learning more about Sun Peng later, even if these three scripts are bad, Fang Lanshen will not hesitate to buy them, and will give a good price. Because for him, it is definitely not a loss to spend some money to form a good relationship with Sun Peng, not to mention that the "Criminal Minds" and "Crazy Lady" he wrote are extremely good, and those martial arts books alone are worth Fang Lanshen's investment.

Fang Lanshen later learned that his copyright department had been eyeing these books for a long time.

But it's a pity that the author didn't plan to sell it at all, even if the copyright department later raised the price to the top level of the online literature industry, Sun Peng didn't spit out, and he didn't even show his face.

Now that you know that the movie script he wrote is excellent, then you have to take it down!

Merely......

Fang Lanshen hesitated in his heart, and the third screenwriter next to him, who had been silent, suddenly said: "Both, have you considered a question?" "Hurricane Rescue" is pretty good, according to my personal estimates, if you hire an older action actor and a young newcomer, the production cost should not be too high. Even if I actually go to Europe to shoot, I think sixty or seventy million is barely enough......"

"Well, it's about the same number as I estimated."

Listening to his words, the bespectacled editor also nodded.

In fact, the first part of "Hurricane Rescue" doesn't have any big scenes, the biggest thing is the car chase and yacht fire at the end of the film. Even the production cost of the Mnison version on the earth is only more than 20 million US dollars, and it is possible to save one-third or even half of the Huaxia auction!

"But for the other two, I'm afraid the cost will be high!"

Nodding at his colleague, the screenwriter just now frowned and said: "According to my estimates, if you want to shoot the effect that the screenwriter wants, it will take at least more than 200 million spy movies, and Mission Impossible will start at 300 million, this number ...... Isn't it too risky to invest in one newcomer's script, and invest in three scripts in one go? ”

Investing two or three hundred million yuan to make an action movie is certainly nothing for Forbidden City Pictures, but investing in two in one go is over.

"You can buy it first and shoot it slowly."

The old screenwriter who proposed the first proposal obviously disagreed, and said with a smile: "If you are afraid of the risk, isn't it a big deal to pull a few companies to cooperate?" Although it is possible to make a lot of money by eating alone this year, it is also possible to lose money! ”

As the investment in movies increases, the risks naturally increase. So in a truly mature film market, it is the most reasonable way for several companies to cooperate in making films, and the guy who always eats alone is not welcomed, right?

"I'm in favor, it's completely okay to reserve it!"

The bespectacled middle-aged screenwriter nodded, agreeing with him.

“……”

Seeing the three subordinates casually discussing the script, as if they could all be put into the company's script library with their mouths open, Fang Lanshen grinned a little painfully.

Headache! It's a headache!

Thinking of the problem that he had been struggling with for the past two days, Fang Lanshen couldn't help but rub his temples.

If the other party is just an ordinary young screenwriter, even if he already has a little fame, he is not afraid, Fang Lanshen has the means to take down these three scripts, even if he doesn't want to shoot for the time being, he can save them for two years. Of course, what is more important is that in the future, he will definitely tie that kid to the chariot of the Forbidden City Pictures - the screenwriter who can come up with three such excellent scripts in one go must have a bright future!

But......

What if people are very awesome now and don't eat your set at all?

There is no doubt that Sun Peng has the capital of Forbidden City Pictures.

How much can a movie script be worth?

Depending on the quality of the script, the total amount of investment in the film and other conditions, in fact, the cost of the screenwriter is also very different. In China, if it is a low-cost literary film or comedy, the income of the screenwriters is often very low, and it is not for nothing that a movie can get 120,000 or even tens of thousands of yuan; If it is a large-cost historical masterpiece, or an action movie, science fiction film, etc. with a relatively high investment, the screenwriters can get dozens or even millions of remuneration, and it is not surprising that the top ones get millions.

But......

With such a condition, will that Sun Peng agree?

People now start with millions of first printings of their books, so do they care about the cost of screenwriting?

Unless......

Plus box office share?

Thinking of a little, the wrinkles on Fang Lanshen's forehead deepened.

Nowadays, as the Chinese film market becomes more and more mature, the investment in movies is also getting bigger and bigger, and naturally the expectations for the box office are getting higher and higher. Especially after the successful launch of historical blockbusters, all filmmakers are now starting to look at overseas markets – the huge box office in Europe and the United States is just too tempting. Especially in terms of movie peripherals and various adaptations, it is much more mature than Huaxia, and it naturally makes more money.

But there are only two companies that can do epic movies well, two or three directors, and one a year is amazing.

So after seeing people eating meat in a big way, several major film companies in China began to blush. Now that the overseas market has gradually opened the door to Chinese films, can't Mao give it a try? If you can't make epic blockbusters, can't you learn to make other films with Hollywood?

After going back and forth, Huaxia finally began to pay attention to the power of screenwriters.

Therefore, slowly in line with international standards, there are also precedents in China for top screenwriters to take a share of the box office, and even directly get paid according to a certain percentage of the total investment amount of the film. Although it is impossible to get up to 10% of the total investment of the film as Hollywood, it is already 45%!

How much will this very famous Mr. Sun Pengsun want?

"Uh......"

Thinking about it, Fang Lanshen was suddenly stunned, and Fang Lanshen suddenly laughed!

Are you stupid?

Mr. Sun just left three scripts for his company to evaluate their level and judge whether it is worth investing in filming. I haven't talked about anything yet, and I'm thinking about what conditions are suitable for me?

"Forget it, thank you for your opinion!"

Thinking of this, Fang Lanshen didn't hesitate, and stood up directly with the script on the table: "Gentlemen, I'll think about the follow-up of these three scripts, let's all go their own way......"

……

“…… Actually, my conditions are very simple! ”

At the same time, in another film and television company called Flamingo, Sun Peng smiled at the vice president of the other party: "It doesn't matter if you pay the script fee at once, give the box office share, or even the size of the number, but there are two points that cannot be discussed: first, I only sell these three scripts, and their sequel copyrights are not sold; Second, if you're willing to shoot, I want them to be released next summer......"
