Chapter 308: The other party has reversed
Before Song Ideal met Xu Ji for the first time, he didn't know much about him.
At most, when I have time occasionally, I see the hot search on Weite or something.
But since I got the script of "My Leader, My Group", I feel that there are all kinds of rumors around me.
Especially after he won the Nebula Award, he kept inquiring about many friends in the circle.
Ask him how he got the script from Xu Ji.
Of course, he knows that in fact, he and Xu Ji don't have much personal friendship, and doing more is a cooperative relationship.
To be precise, in fact, in the cooperation between the two parties, Song Ideal knew that he was taking advantage of it.
The drama "My Captain, My Regiment", even if he didn't shoot it, it is estimated that it will still be able to achieve the current results under the premise of having such an excellent script.
But he Song Ideal no longer has Xu Ji's script, and now it is estimated that the company has completely bankrupted.
He chose to come to Xu Ji in person this time, but he also wanted to show his attitude, and at the same time hoped to reach a long-term cooperative relationship with Xu Ji.
The two met because of Chen Kang before, but the relationship between him and Chen Kang was not particularly good.
Now when I come to Xu Ji for the second time to ask for a script, it must not be good to trouble Chen Kang to help him.
But if it was the first negotiation method, Song Li was almost certain that he would be able to ask Xu Ji to help write the script.
However, Song Li had already thought clearly at this time, instead of looking for scripts everywhere, it was better to spend a lot of money to buy them from Xu Ji.
This time, he was sure that Xu Ji would not easily refuse.
......
Although Xu Ji and Song Ideal did not have a good relationship, the other party came to Rongcheng in person, and there should still be politeness.
After asking You Man to help greet him, he met with Song Ideal after finishing his work.
"Director Song, I don't know why you came this time because ......?"
Xu Ji didn't plan to go around in circles with the other party, anyway, he refused to finish the matter early.
When Song Ideal met Xu Ji for the first time, although he was unwilling, he still lowered his posture.
But this time, he was sincere, and he admired and even admired Xu Qi.
The other party's talent and ability in all aspects are indeed far beyond him.
What is blown out outside doesn't count, only when he really cooperates with Xu Ji can Song Ideal realize this.
Especially the script of "My Regiment Leader, My Regiment" that Xu Ji gave him at the beginning, not only the content is detailed to every small detail and precautions, but even the storyboard was prepared by Xu Ji in advance.
He, the director, doesn't have much room to play, and most of the shooting ideas are directly given by Xu Ji.
Because after careful comparison, it is true that many traces give the optimal solution.
"Director Xu, actually, you should have guessed what I came here for."
"I don't have any ideas after the filming is over, so if I can, I can still ask you to help write the script of my new play."
Song Li thought about these words before he came, and he couldn't say them anyway.
But I've done so much psychological construction along the way, and now I don't have any psychological burden. ….
It is indeed unreasonable for a super-first-line director to ask the screenwriter to write the script in a low voice, but if the screenwriter is Xu Ji, it feels nothing unusual.
"I'll tell you the truth about Director Song, in fact, there are quite a lot of projects in our company during this time."
"You should know that."
"So I'm almost exhausted of my inspiration."
Xu Ji opened his mouth and politely refused.
This rhetoric can be said to have been prepared by Xu Ji a long time ago.
It does look like that.
Although you have to refuse, you certainly can't be so tough.
Although Song Ideal and him don't have a good relationship, they can be regarded as partners
Partnerships.
There is no need to make a feud for no reason because of this matter.
Just find a better reason to send the other person back.
......
If it were a different person, Song Ideal would really believe it.
But Xu Ji's words, even if he knew that Tongji Entertainment had frequent actions some time ago, and he should have invested a lot in new dramas, he still didn't believe that Xu Ji couldn't write a script.
"Director Xu, you can listen to me first."
"I came to ask for cooperation with great sincerity this time."
Song Ideal's rejection of Xu Ji had long been expected.
At this time, he did not hurry to say his thoughts.
......
"Director Song, do you mean that we only need to produce a script, and we can directly account for 50% of the investment in the whole drama?"
You Man on the side felt a little unbelievable when he heard what Song Ideal had just said, so he subconsciously asked.
Song Li nodded, and added with a smile:
"Not only is it 50% of the investment, but Tongji Entertainment also has the corresponding production rights for the follow-up of the whole drama."
Song Ideal actually planned to say that the investment proportion was 30% at the beginning, after all, the other party would publish a script, and 30% was already very high.
When the time comes to sell the copyright, it is basically pure profit.
Such a screenwriting fee is unprecedented in the entire entertainment industry.
But the other party is Xu Ji, his script is indeed a unique existence, and it is indeed worthy of such a high value.
And even if it accounts for 30% of the investment, Song Li feels that Xu Ji may not be able to see it.
After all, Tongji Entertainment really doesn't necessarily lack the investment income of this drama.
So in the end, after gritting his teeth, Song Ideal directly took out the bottom-line price in his heart, that is, a script directly took away half of the subsequent income.
Of course, what was said afterwards about the producer rights and some others, in fact, it was the rights, but in fact, Song Ideal wanted Xu Ji to follow the whole process to ensure the quality of the whole drama.
Anyway, it's definitely about making money.
And this time he gambled a lot, if he didn't make more than double the profit, he would even lose money.
Xu Ji didn't expect that Song Ideal could be regarded as a very famous super-first-line director, and he would spend so much money for a script.
This can no longer be described as sincere, it is completely a gamble.
Especially now that Song Ideal's company has just improved a little, and if it pounces on a drama, it will basically be beaten into the ghost gate again. ….
Xu Ji really couldn't find any reason to refuse at this time.
After a slight glance with You Man, Xu Ji stretched out his right hand towards Song Ideal.
"Happy cooperation, Director Song."
......
In the end, Song Ideal still succeeded in getting the script in Xu Ji, of course, he also paid a huge price that many people couldn't understand.
As for whether it's worth it or not, it depends on the effect of the later drama after it is filmed.
"Director Song, I don't know what kind of drama you want to shoot this time?"
After finalizing the cooperation, Xu Ji took the initiative to ask.
Since Song Ideal is so sincere, Xu Ji is naturally not perfunctory.
"I haven't thought about it yet."
Song Ideal was obviously stunned for a moment, he actually didn't have any themes that he was particularly good at.
It was also urban before, ancient times, and dramas of any theme have been filmed.
When he came, he was just thinking about using Xu Ji's script, but he really didn't think about what the specific theme was.
But Song Ideal is not too worried about this, after all, Xu Ji has written a good script with any theme, and there is no one that the other party is not good at.
"If you can, it's actually a good war theme like the regiment commander."
Song Ideal thought for a while, and then opened
mouth said.
In fact, he still has some contradictions in his heart.
I not only want to make money, but also want to be in the limelight at a large-scale domestic award ceremony like the ** award.
For example, although "My Leader, My Group" has a good reputation and has won the ** award, he still feels a little regretful in terms of popularity.
Of course, such a request does sound excessive.
So after weighing it, he still thinks that the money can be made a little less, but the quality of the script cannot be compromised.
Even if it can't reach the level of the regiment commander, it can't be too bad.
So after thinking about it for a while, I finally felt that the previous filming director also had experience, and the war theme may be a good choice.
After hearing Song Ideal's words, Xu Ji thought for less than ten seconds, then nodded and replied:
"No problem."
"I'll be able to give you the script in a week or so."
Song Ideal was also stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Xu Ji to plan to write the script in such a short time.
Didn't he say before that he was uninspired or something?
Sure enough, it's just an excuse to refuse.
......
"Hey, Congzong, Song Ideal has returned from Rongcheng."
"Well, it looks like I'm in a good mood."
......
Hung up the phone with a smile on his face.
Sure enough, her idea at the time was right, although there was no way to directly cooperate with Tongji Entertainment, there were still some other ways to compromise.
It's not like kiwi will never be able to appear in a drama with a trace.
Congzhu no longer hesitated, and called Song Ideal directly.
"Hey, Director Song, I'm a kiwi fruit from the bamboo ......."
"Yes, that's what we said before, the three dramas are all based on 50 million copyright fees."
"Director Song, what do you mean by that?"
"Hey, hey?!
......
From Takemo's happy expression, it has become completely gloomy at this time.
Song Ideal actually pretended to be stupid for her directly on the phone just now.
Obviously, I had already said it before. ….
Now it seems that the intention is to backtrack.
Congzhu regretted that he didn't sign a contract with Song Ideal before.
At that time, I also thought that it would be okay to talk about it after I really got Xu Ji's script.
I didn't expect the other party to be so decisive.
And looking at this look, it is obvious that he plans to wait for the price to be sold after the filming of the drama.
Xu Ji and Song Ideal, with the success of the drama "My Leader, My Group", it is estimated that it is impossible for several other websites not to be interested in the filming of the next drama.
Especially on the penguin side, the rich man is like a rich man, and if the kiwifruit fights for money, it really doesn't necessarily have to fight.
Even if you take it, it is estimated that it will be more than signing the contract in advance, and I don't know how much more the copyright fee will be.
Thinking of this, Congzhu angrily smashed the document in his hand on the table in front of him.
......
G station, Chi Jiang at this time actually didn't know that he was almost stolen.
From the bamboo on behalf of the kiwi fruit to Rongcheng to talk about cooperation, no one else knows.
You Man naturally didn't plan to tell his former boss Chi Jiang about this kind of thing.
In fact, after You Man resigned from Station G, except for spending a little time to go through the resignation procedures when he resigned, there really hasn't been much change.
It was also at this time that You Man realized that although he used to work at Station G, most of his work was actually Tongji Entertainment.
Thinking that she had worked for nothing for a long time and had not received Xu Jikai's salary, she was a little angry.
On Chi Jiang's side, since he knew that You Man was now the main person in charge of Tongji Entertainment, he didn't have much worry about the cooperation and exchanges between the two sides
。
After all, as a former subordinate, You Man is easier to communicate with than some others.
Of course, Chi Jiang slowly reacted later, did You Man, the subordinate he once valued the most, have been rebelled by Xu Ji a long time ago?
"Mr. Chi, Sister Man sent me a message just now, "Parents' Love" has passed the review."
"This time it should be broadcast on the official Channel 8."
"The specific broadcast time needs to be negotiated and decided with the official."
The secretary walked in and spoke.
Chi Jiang was not very surprised that Xu Ji chose to let "Parents Love" be broadcast on the official station this time.
After all, a drama with such a theme is indeed the most suitable official station.
However, this drama was finally able to pass the review without any modification, which did make Chi Jiang confirm that the relationship between Xu Ji and the Television and Radio Bureau was not ordinary.
Although the content of this drama does not seem to be particularly excessive, the background of the times involved in it is indeed sensitive.
If you change to some other film and television companies, such a drama will definitely not dare to be filmed easily.
Because of a little carelessness or poor luck, it may really be a luxury to even broadcast it.
"You contact the official side and finalize the specific broadcast time, preferably at the beginning of next month."
"In addition, try to ask about the official announcement, but the official eight stations don't have any big publicity resources."
"I guess the main publicity will have to rely on our side."
"In terms of publicity, we still treat it according to the highest specifications inside Station G."
"Pay attention to the control of external publicity and distribution costs, and don't exceed too much budget."
......
Chi Jiang told him some of the arrangements he had decided on before.
In fact, for this "Parents' Love", Chi Jiang still doesn't have high hopes.
Although the quality of this drama is really good, in the final analysis, because of the questioning theme, it is not very attractive to many young people.
Such a drama is actually not as suitable as Penguin or Kiwi on Station G.
But after all, it is a drama of Tongji Entertainment, and Chi Jiang still plans to treat it more solemnly.
And the investment in this drama is actually not very large, and some of the main actors in it are not actors from Tongji Entertainment such as Ji Yiyang, but actors from the official side like Chen Kang.
With such a drama, such quality, and the popularity brought by Tongji Entertainment's production, it is not difficult to recover the cost.
But if he really wants to explode, Chi Jiang also feels that the possibility is still not high.
It can only be said that Xu Ji is trying to write about some topics that have not been covered before.
