Chapter 148: A former gold medal screenwriter
Su Qi nodded, she could let Yuan Ming be her agent for three years, and she was also very satisfied, at least in these three years, she could see Yuan Ming often.
"Then Mr. Tang, let's start working now."
Su Qi took a stack of materials and gave it to Yuan Ming.
"These are scripts sent by some directors, I don't know what's good, I hope Tang can always help me check it."
Yuan Ming looked at this thick stack of scripts, and also smiled helplessly, just after taking office, Su Qi brought so many scripts to himself.
He took the scripts, read them cursoly, and then sifted out a few scripts.
"I think these scripts are more suitable for you, you can see for yourself."
Su Qi happily took the script and read it seriously.
While Su Qi was reading the script, Zhao Tian called Yuan Ming.
"Mr. Tang, I have good news for you, I found a super good script! The heroine in it is very suitable for Su Qi to play! After playing it, the most powerful contender for this year's Best Actress Award will definitely be Su Qi! ”
Yuan Ming was also very interested when he heard it.
"Okay, you can send me the script right away."
After Yuan Ming read this script, he slapped his thigh and applauded!
This script is very good, whether it is the plot, or the character design, the story line, the contradictions and conflicts, they are all fascinating, if there is a good director and good actors, this movie must be one of the top 100 movies in history!
No wonder Zhao Tian was so excited!
"Mr. Tang, what's the matter, you are so happy?"
Su Qi was very excited when she saw Yuan Ming, and asked curiously.
"Zhao Tian has found you a very good script, which may make you the most powerful contender for Best Actress of the Year!"
"Huh? This...... It won't be! I'm just a newcomer, so how can I qualify for the Best Actress of the Year! Today, there are many very powerful female predecessors, and they are the contenders for the best actress of the year. ”
"Haha, Su Qi, don't be presumptuous, you're not bad, although the film and television industry also ranks seniority, but as long as young people learn to film hard, they will become famous, and it is not for nothing that they will win the heroine in one fell swoop! I'm optimistic about you, and you have to believe that you can do it yourself. ”
Yuan Ming encouraged Su Qi.
"Zhao Tian, contact this screenwriter immediately, we want to buy this script!"
Yuan Ming called Zhao Tian.
"Haha, I'm having dinner with this screenwriter, I'm talking, it will definitely be done."
Zhao Tian said confidently.
After speaking, Zhao Tian smiled and asked a middle-aged man sitting opposite, "Editor Cheng, let's say, how much does your script sell?" I want it! ”
This middle-aged man's name is Cheng Ziping, he used to be a gold medal screenwriter, and the movies from him are all guaranteed to win awards, and his scripts have won many Best Screenplays of the Year! It's just two years ago, I don't know why, Cheng Ziping suddenly disappeared from the public eye, and now he suddenly appeared in front of the public.
Zhao Tian had been paying attention to Cheng Ziping before, and this time when he heard that Cheng Ziping was back in the rivers and lakes, he was the first to find him, and then he saw the script of "Love in the World" in Cheng Ziping's hand.
Cheng Ziping looked at Zhao Tian and said, "How much can you give?" ”
Zhao Tian looked at the script in his hand, thought about it for a while, and then gave his own price.
"Five million!"
This five million is already a very expensive price in the industry, Zhao Tian is completely aiming at Cheng Ziping's name, and this good script in his hand, he will suddenly open so high, he thinks that at this price, Cheng Ziping will definitely agree to sell the script to himself immediately.
But Cheng Ziping's reaction was beyond his expectations.
"No! Too little. ”
Cheng Ziping rejected Zhao Tian very neatly.
"What? Too little?! ”
Zhao Tian couldn't believe what he heard!
Five million to buy a script, that bid is quite high! If it's an average screenwriter, it's one or two million.
"Five million, Cheng Editor, your last movie that won the best screenplay sold more than three million, and now you haven't heard from you for two years, and I don't know what your most popular theme in the industry is now, I can give you five million, which is already very high!"
Zhao Tian is talking to Cheng Ziping about the price, although Cheng Ziping's script is indeed very valuable, but it is not worth enough to ask for a sky-high price.
"No, five million is too little!"
Cheng Ziping still insisted that the price of five million was too little.
No matter how Zhao Tian talked to Cheng Ziping, Cheng Ziping did not accept the price of five million.
"Then Cheng Bian, you can tell you a price! How much do you want? ”
Zhao Tian could only let Cheng Ziping pay the price himself.
"Ten million! And I'm going to participate in a 10% box office dividend! ”
Cheng Ziping gave his own price.
"What do you say? 10 million, and 10% of the box office dividends?! ”
When Zhao Tian heard this, he jumped up from his chair in surprise, this kind of asking price, he had encountered it for the first time in more than ten years.
"Cheng Bian, your price is too outrageous! I'm afraid no one in the world can satisfy you for the price you want! If you don't believe me, you can ask again. The price I gave you for five million is already quite fair. ”
Zhao Tian said very dissatisfied.
Cheng Ziping's face changed, his body trembled a little, his expression struggled a little, and he seemed to be a little shaken!
Zhao Tian saw that Cheng Ziping seemed to want to agree, and he persuaded again: "Editor Cheng, you have been in the industry for a long time, and you should be quite clear about the market, it is already a sky-high price for a script to sell for five million, and 10 million is a sky-high asking price!" Now except for my Shengshi Entertainment can give you a price of five million, there is no second one that can give you so much price. ”
The look on Cheng Ziping's face was also hesitating, Zhao Tian saw that he had the opportunity to persuade Cheng Ziping, so he hurriedly continued to persuade! Cheng Ziping put his low hand and clenched his fist tightly.
"10 million, plus 10% box office dividends! That's the price I want, it's non-negotiable. ”
In the end, Cheng Ziping still refused to let go, that is, 10 million plus 10% of the box office dividends.
This made Zhao Tian depressed, he spent so much time, Cheng Ziping just didn't let go.
"Cheng Bian, since that's the case, I think you should think about it calmly first! This is my number, you can always call me if you change your mind. ”
It is impossible for Zhao Tian to spend 10 million and take 10% of the box office dividends to buy a script that has not yet determined any value, this risk is too great.
Five million is still acceptable, and no matter how high it is, it will be too high!
"10 million plus 10 percent of the box office dividends? Did he really offer that price? ”
Yuan Ming listened to Zhao Tian's report, which surprised him, the price offered by Cheng Ziping was indeed too outrageous! Zhao Tian's 5 million is actually a sky-high price in the industry, although Cheng Ziping's name is very big, but the script is the script, optimistic does not mean that it will be a box office hit, no one dares to take 10 million and 10% of the box office to gamble! The stakes are too high to be worth it.
"Yes, no matter how I persuade him, Cheng Ziping is unwilling to let go."
Zhao Tian sighed and said, he is really optimistic about the script of "Love in the World", and the touching love in it makes him empathize! If it can be made, it will definitely be a very good movie, but Cheng Ziping's asking price is too outrageous, even if the script is good, it is impossible to take this risk.
Yuan Ming also felt a pity when he heard it, judging from his eyes, the script of "Love in the World" is indeed very good! With a good director, good actors, and his 3D holographic projection special effects technology, this script will definitely be presented in the most perfect way!
It's just that Cheng Ziping's request is indeed a bit outrageous, so that Yuan Ming is still considering whether to take this risk.
He Ziping took the script of "Love in the World" and sent it to several large domestic film and television entertainment companies, as well as some well-known directors!
Without exception, everyone admired Cheng Ziping's script very much, but when they heard Cheng Ziping's asking price, they all shook their heads, and the price they gave was even lower than the price given by Zhao Tian.
Cheng Ziping has almost run all over the best film and television entertainment companies and famous directors in China with his own script in the past half a month, and Dunhuang Tian Entertainment is his last hope!
