Hu Lan hung up the phone a little helplessly, and then stared at several super-first-line directors and asked:

"What did Xu Ji say just now?"

In fact, after Xu Ji finished saying those words just now, the four people present more or less still felt a little unbearable on their faces.

After all, everyone is a super first-line director, and no one thinks they are worse than others.

But as a tribute film, no one can completely guarantee that the box office target of one billion can be completed.

At this time, Xu Ji suddenly jumped out and said that he directly shared the target of 3 billion.

It really made a few people who were still arguing about this matter before feel very ashamed.

After the four of them were silent for a while, Deng Shengxing took the lead in answering this time:

"Since Director Xu thinks he has this ability, then I naturally have no opinion."

"Those who can work harder."

"It's just a good way to take some of the burden off our shoulders."

He was actually very unhappy with Xu Ji's arrogant tone.

But he didn't dare to be like the other party, and he would promise three billion first.

Even with a box office of one billion, he himself is not completely sure.

In this case, instead of fighting against Xu Ji and fighting for that breath, it is better to follow Xu Ji's words directly.

First raise Xu Ji's position, and if it can't be finished then, that is Xu Ji's own problem.

And three billion or something, Deng Shengxing really doesn't believe that Xu Ji can do it.

Although Xu Ji's very confident tone just now made him feel a little surprised.

But who wouldn't be able to speak big.

When the movie is really released, the market will naturally teach him to be a man.

The young man is still too vigorous.

Do you really think it's so easy to have a box office of 3 billion?

Not to mention a movie with subject matter restrictions such as a tribute film, even Zang Sheng, who ranks third among the first-line directors in the field, is estimated to be not full of confidence that his new work can get more than 3 billion box office.

Investment, script, schedule, actors, and a certain amount of luck, there are too many factors that affect the box office.

The most important thing is that this is a tribute film, and the subject matter is inherently limited.

Prior to this, there were not many tribute films that exceeded one billion at the box office.

Otherwise, several super-first-line directors would not have been arguing for so long because of the problem of box office indicators.

......

"I also think it's okay, since the young man is confident, let him try."

"If it really doesn't work, there are a few of us old guys in the back."

Zang Sheng also spoke.

Although he is suspected of relying on the old and selling the old, with his age and qualifications, he is also qualified to say such things.

What's more, he didn't say it as obviously as Deng Shengxing did.

It looks a little more generous.

It means that if Xu Ji can't complete the three billion, a few of them will still be able to cover the bottom.

But it is not difficult to hear from his words, and he doesn't believe that Xu Ji's gift film can get a box office result of more than 3 billion.

......

When things came to this, it was because of the phone call between Hu Lan and Xu Ji that the situation suddenly became unexpected.

Before, it was clear that several people had almost agreed on the box office target.

Now that Xu Ji has directly borne three billion, the four of them have become more relaxed.

At this time, Hu Lan didn't want to dwell on these anymore, so he simply made a decision.

"In that case, then follow Director Zang's meaning."

"Let's see the box office performance of Director Xu's movie after it is released, and then decide how the box office will be distributed."

Hu Lan's words didn't have any opinions.

Because if Xu Ji really got more than 3 billion box office, there would be no need for them to discuss the issue of schedule.

At that time, the pressure on the indicators will be less, that is, each will rely on his ability, the box office is not ideal, and he will lose face.

But if Xu Ji didn't get such a high box office, the target could not be completed, but there was a chance to be able to say big things to Xu Ji.

Of course, at this time, whether it is Zang Sheng or Deng Shengxing, they naturally don't want Xu Ji's movie box office to be so high.

After all, although it is a tribute film, it would be too embarrassing to be crushed at the box office by Xu Ji, a young director who is so much younger than them.

......

At the end of the meeting, after the other directors left, Hu Lan sighed helplessly this time.

"This kid has a rare breath that big."

Duan Shengyu, who had never spoken just now, also spoke at this time.

"Three billion, do you think it's possible?"

Hu Lan shook his head.

"I kind like his script."

"But in the final analysis, I can't speak for all audiences, and the specific box office doesn't depend on how it performs after the release."

Duan Shengyu is actually not sure.

"Xu Ji is so young after all, and it is understandable that he is a little vigorous."

"But I always feel like it's because of a few other people."

Hu Lan didn't know, but Duan Shengyu had heard about it.

Xu Ji and Phoenix and Smallpox seem to have had some grievances.

"But that's good."

"It's lest a few of them have to come out like this in three days for the sake of the schedule."

Hu Lan didn't care about the three billion goal Xu Ji said.

Anyway, it's best to finish it, and if it can't be completed, it won't affect the follow-up projects, and he will still think of Xu Ji for the first time.

......

Here, Xu Ji just returned to China, and received another call from Mo Jianwen.

In fact, the other guests are not so difficult to invite, even if it is a singer or something, he can still find time.

The only problem is Xu Ji, because Xu Ji himself has too many identities.

Especially the director, as soon as he enters the group to film, he is basically not available for a long time.

So during the time when Xu Ji returned to China, he had to pull him over and shoot the show first.

Xu Ji agreed without much hesitation.

Just returned to China, and during this time, the crew also needed jet lag, and it was normal to take a few days off and take a little rest.

The only difference is that the crew has a chance to rest.

And Xu Ji still has all kinds of things waiting for him here.

Not only Mo Jianwen's side, but Tongji Entertainment's own variety shows still need to be recorded.

In addition, Xu Ji still has to deal with You Man, although he is the boss, he still needs to make decisions on some projects.

While Xu Ji is busy, the three major domestic video platforms are also a little uneasy.

Although after the finale of "Ghost Blows the Lantern: The Essence of the Ancient City" was broadcast, Station G did not have any new dramas for the time being.

The three major platforms began to compete with each other to warm up their new dramas.

At present, it seems that the market without Tongji Entertainment has finally returned to a relatively normal state.

Although the three major video platforms say that from time to time, they will still have their own new dramas to break through.

But at least the new drama will not directly steal most of the audience, and the other two can still drink some soup with it.

Unlike Station G, when a new drama of Tongji Entertainment comes out, other platforms, even small-cost online dramas with little investment, are facing the risk of losing money.

But just when everyone was happily arranging the launch plan of their new drama.

But suddenly there was news that Kiwi seemed to be in contact with Song Ideal, a super first-line director, and was ready to buy the copyright of a new drama written by Xu Ji from the other party.

As soon as this news came out, not only the Penguin and Potato video, but even Station G, which had cooperated with Tongji Entertainment so many times, couldn't sit still.

After all, according to Xu Ji's current fame, if he could have the opportunity to buy the copyright of his screenplay, it would be impossible for the platform to let go of such an opportunity.

So when the news came out, the three major platforms and Station G almost sent people to the capital at the same time, ready to contact Song Ideal and talk about copyright.

Of course, the one who is most angry about this matter at this time must still belong to the kiwi fruit.

After all, before this, only they knew the news of this show, and other platforms were not clear.

......

"From the general point of view, could it be the news that Song Ideal took the initiative to leak out?"

In Beijing, in a hotel, I originally made an appointment to meet with Song Ideal today to talk about copyright, but I was inexplicably given a pigeon by the other party.

It wasn't until the news came out that other platforms had heard the news that Congzhu knew that the news had been leaked.

"Who else but him?"

Congzhu was also very angry at this time.

But there is nothing to do about Song Ideal.

After all, the copyright of this drama is indeed still in the hands of the other party, even if other platforms are coming, but Congzhu still has a very resolute attitude and hopes to buy the copyright of this new drama from Song Ideal.

So knowing that Song Ideal was to raise the copyright fee, he deliberately leaked the news.

But it is estimated that when I see each other tomorrow, I will still have to greet each other with a smile.

"But if other platforms come, our budget is not ......"

The assistant also asked with some worry at this time.

Congzhu nodded.

"If it's just our kiwi family, the price is easy to negotiate."

"But now that all platforms are here, Song Ideal will definitely sit on the ground and start the price."

"I guess the budget I prepared before is not enough."

The assistant was actually a little surprised when he heard Congzhu's words at this time.

In fact, she already feels that the copyright fee at the price of bamboo psychology is very high.

At this time, I realized that Congzhu still planned to add money.

It can be regarded as a sky-high price.

And more importantly, this drama is actually Xu Ji is just a screenwriter, and the director is not even the director of Tongji Entertainment.

There is still a difference between it and Tongji Entertainment's drama, and she doesn't know why several major platforms are willing to spend so much copyright fees on it.

"Actually, it's not like we don't have any advantages."

"Compared to the others, after all, we have been preparing for so long, and we are more adequate than them in all aspects."

"The same is true for the most critical royalty budget."

......

When Congzhu said these words, Penguin Video, this time Xu Sheng actually didn't really want Bi Feihong to go again after getting the news.

But after thinking about it, I found that among the people available in the company, only Bi Feihong was more leisurely and could spare this time.

Either he didn't have his trust, or something more important.

Bi Feihong is still the most suitable candidate.

"Mr. Xu, don't worry, I will definitely buy the copyright of this drama this time!"

Bi Feihong looked confident in front of Xu Sheng at this time.

At the beginning, it was because he was a little careless, and at the same time, he didn't particularly care about this matter, so he didn't get the copyright of "My Leader, My Group".

But this time, he has been idle in the company for more than a month, during which Xu Sheng has not arranged any projects for him, just let him sit in his office every day.

It's hard to have the opportunity to perform like this, so naturally you have to cherish it.

What's more, this time, Xu Sheng actually directly gave him S-level copyright rights, and he has money in his pocket, Bi Feihong doesn't think there are still TV series copyrights that he can't buy.

At this time, Xu Sheng looked at Bi Feihong, although the other party was full of confidence, he was still a little uneasy.

"You remember, this time we are going for the new drama written by Xu Ji."

"If the money is up, even if it's really not enough, don't give up at the first time, call me first."

Hearing Xu Sheng's words, Bi Feihong was a little surprised.

Xu Ji is just a screenwriter, is this drama so expensive?

"Mr. Xu, what do you mean is that our S-level copyright fee budget this time may not be enough?"

"How is that possible?"

"The news I got this time is that all the investments in Song Ideal's drama add up to only about 100 million."

......

When Xu Sheng heard this, he smiled contemptuously.

"You're naïve."

"This is a script written by Xu Ji, although Song Ideal is not very famous, he is still a super first-line director."

"How much do you think the copyright of "The Legend of the Withering Heroes" and "Ghost Blows the Lantern: The Essence of the Ancient City" cost?"

Bi Feihong was obviously stunned for a moment when he heard this.

Only then did he remember that from the beginning of this year to the present, there have been two dramas that can become popular phenomena.

They are Xu Ji's shooting and ghost blowing lanterns.

"And more importantly, Tongji Entertainment has a cooperative relationship with Station G."

"In other words, if we follow the normal channels, it is basically impossible for us to buy their dramas."

"Only companies like Tongji Entertainment and Song Ideal cooperate to invest in filming, and they are the only dramas that can buy Xu Ji is screenwriter."

"Such an opportunity, in addition to us, should be clear about how rare it is for kiwifruit and potato videos."

......

"I understand Mr. Xu."

Bi Feihong hurriedly agreed.

Especially looking at Xu Sheng's attitude at this time, he even thought about completing the task.

If he can succeed this time, he may really be able to return to his position as vice president.

"By the way, when you go, don't look at yourself and fall asleep during the audition."

Hearing Xu Sheng's words, Bi Feihong subconsciously retorted: "Mr. Xu, how can this ......?"

Before he finished his words, he saw Xu Sheng's eyes looking at him.

Xu Sheng knew him too well as a confidant.

When Wen Hao was there, in fact, many popular dramas were copyrighted by Wen Hao himself.

and then he gave the credit to Bi Feihong.

Bi Feihong's own words, no matter how wonderful the drama is, if he can't see it for twenty minutes, he will definitely start to doze off.

Xu Sheng knew all this, but he had never mentioned it in person before.

Speaking out now, in addition to the importance of this drama, there is also a desire to knock the other party.

......
