Chapter 786: Edit, Ben Xian (7)
The next day, the dill went out early in the morning.
Yuan Xinzhou slept alone until almost noon before getting up, pressing the moving company's electricity in the note left by Dill on the table
Words called.
An hour later......
Yuan Xinzhou and the two big bags of luggage under his feet stood under the tattered tube downstairs, messy in the wind.
Is it hard to find a good and cheap house, and a cheap and dilapidated house is still hard to find?
...
At this moment, Dill is wearing a smart and decent formal suit, sitting in a coffee shop on the corner.
Across from her sat a man with a big belly but a simple smile.
"You are the author of "Childhood Sweethearts", so let's take a leisurely walk." The man had a smile on his face, and his kind face was like that of Maitreya Buddha.
Dill nodded politely, "Yes, hello Manager Wei." ”
Wei Huafeng, manager of AQ's film and television planning department, is the person in charge of the agreement with Dill on the film and television of this work.
Don't look at him at this time, he looks like a good old man with a smile on his face, as if he is very good at talking.
But in negotiations, Wei Huafeng is an out-and-out master. The master who does not give an inch, few people can get half a cent from his hands.
Therefore, it is known as the "smiling tiger" in the industry.
At this moment, the smiling tiger was politely greeting dill, and did not seem to be in a hurry to get into the subject.
Dill lowered her head and took a sip of coffee, the taste was a little sweet, and she frowned slightly.
"Is it the drink that doesn't match the taste?" Wei Huafeng, who had been paying attention to the dill's expression, immediately noticed this and asked with concern.
"Maybe it's a personal habit, I'm a person who likes to express things in a simple and direct way, whether it's food or things."
Dill's faint voice fell into Wei Huafeng's ears, causing the smile on the latter's face to freeze significantly.
said that he didn't stretch out his hand and didn't hit the smiling person, but he didn't expect that the little girl in front of him, who looked weak and weak, would speak so sharply and directly.
But after all, he was a veteran at the negotiation table, and the expression on Wei Huafeng's face quickly returned to natural.
He laughed twice, relieving the awkwardness of the atmosphere: "I like to communicate with people like you who speak simply and do things directly." ”
"Since you said so, let's just get to the contract."
As he spoke, Wei Huafeng took out a paper contract from his briefcase and put it on the table.
Dill took the contract and looked at it carefully.
While she watched carefully, Wei Huafeng explained: "I think you also know that our AQ Film and Television is one of the top film and television media companies in China, and few other companies can compare with each other in terms of the strength of the creative team and comprehensive influence. ”
"For this cooperation, our company has shown the greatest sincerity, which I believe you can see from the contract. In terms of the creative team, we will put the top S-level team in charge. In terms of actors, we will hold a casting competition. ”
"In terms of directors, we plan to hire the most prestigious director Yu in China. I'm sure you've also heard that Director Yu has directed many youth idol movies, and each of them is a double harvest at the word-of-mouth box office. ”
"Finally, the remuneration. In this regard, I can confidently say that there is hardly any other company that will be able to offer more treatment than ours. Not only will we pay you a one-time royalty of up to 10 million, but we will also give you a 5% box office dividend. ”
"According to conservative estimates from various data, this film will at least receive more than one billion at the box office after its release. That is, you can also get at least 50 million in dividend income. ”
"Manager Wei," Dill put down the contract in her hand and stared into the eyes of the man opposite, "I finished reading the contract, and I was basically satisfied." ”
"That's great, let's sign now." Wei Huafeng is happy in the color road.
"Manager Wei, don't worry, I haven't finished my words yet." Dill looked at him calmly and said lightly.
"Oh?" Wei Huafeng restrained the smile on his lips and said solemnly, "Do you have any other conditions?" ”
"I have two more conditions." Dill said slowly, "First, the selection of all key roles must be approved by me. ”
"Key roles, you mean?"
"In my book, there are four key characters. The male and female protagonists, the female supporting Xia Xiaoran and the male protagonist's uncle Mo Guanghe. Dill replied.
Wei Huafeng pondered for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, we can promise you this." What about the second condition? ”
Dill: "The second condition is that I will direct the film. ”
As soon as Dill finished speaking, the expression on Wei Huafeng's face changed.
"Now that you've seen the contract, you should know that we have invited Director Yu to direct this movie. Do you think you can do better than Yu Dao? ”
Wei Huafeng's intention to ask this question was originally to make Dill retreat, but unexpectedly, she nodded without hesitation and said, "This is natural." ”
Wei Huafeng: ...... It's the first time he's seen such a braggadocio about his author.
"You really like to joke." Wei Huafeng snorted.
Dill replied with a serious expression: "No, I'm not kidding. ”
"This is one of the conditions I agreed to cooperate with your company...... is a necessity. ”
Wei Huafeng stared at Dill in silence, as if he wanted to find some flaws in her expression that were joking.
However, after staring for a long time, he didn't find anything.
"Since you are serious, then I will also respond to you seriously: I'm sorry, our company can't agree to this condition." Wei Huafeng looked at Dill Dao sincerely.
"I think you should understand the importance of a director to a work. If the work is compared to a big ship, then the director is the captain at the helm. Where the ship goes, whether it can avoid the wind and waves, and whether it can reach the destination safely, the captain is the most critical existence. ”
Dill nodded and said, "I understand what you said. That's why I asked to be a director myself. This work is the result of my painstaking efforts word by word, just like my child, and no one wants it to go further and grow better than me. ”
"I am familiar with this work, the emotions of each character, and the direction of each plot. If I were the director, the presentation of the work would be the most accurate and perfect. ”
"It's true that you created the work with your own hands, and no one is more familiar with it than you. But," Wei Huafeng paused, and said in a regretful tone, "Interlaced lines are like mountains, you are an expert and a god in writing, but in the director's line, you have not received professional training and no experience, so you may not be better than other directors." ”
