Chapter 142: Not for sale
Editor Xiao Li said a name: "Zheng Changming." ”
Jiang Jiani: "......"
Sorry, I haven't heard of it.
She only knows the four famous directors later, as well as some later directors who turned from actors to behind-the-scenes.
She doesn't focus on this line of work, and it is impossible to know the name of each director.
I had to continue to ask, "Does he have any works?" ”
"Nope."
Afraid that Jiang Jiani would refuse, he hurriedly said: "But Director Normal Ming graduated from the directing major and has participated in the filming of many TV series. ”
"You know "The Four Sisters of the Lu Family", right? He worked as an assistant director in it. ”
"The Four Sisters of the Lu Family" is a TV series after the end of this year, which tells the experience of the four sisters of the Lu family from the 70s to the 80s.
There are dog blood, private affairs, forcible and adulterous, extramarital affairs, some go astray and reunited, there are four sisters, and there are also the previous generation and the next generation.
In just twenty-four episodes, the content is as rich as the eighty episodes of later generations.
Although there are no explicit scenes, some plots, to be honest, are more daring than those dared to shoot twenty or thirty years later.
When Jiang Jiani watched it, she kept marveling at how bold the current screenwriter was, and she was so happy.
Twenty years later, all screenwriters are dancing in shackles and shackles.
Unexpectedly, this young director, who is said to be only twenty-six or seventeen years old, actually participated in the filming of this kind of drama.
Seeing that Jiang Jiani's attitude was somewhat relaxed, editor Xiao Li hurriedly threw out the most important weight: "Didn't you just ask about the funds?" ”
"There's no need to worry about this at all, Director Zheng plans to invest by himself."
Jiang Jiani was really surprised: "Invest yourself? He's a sole proprietor? Seriously? A TV series in ancient costumes has been filmed for millions of dollars, and he is out alone? ”
What kind of rich man is this?
Editor Xiao Li hurriedly said: "Really, I didn't lie to you, Director Zheng has money at home, he wants to make his own TV series, and he doesn't want to be managed by others, so Director Zheng found a family to invest, I didn't lie to you, really." ”
Don't.
The more you talk about it, the more you look like a liar.
Now the coal bosses have not turned their attention to the film and television industry.
Until 2,000 years ago, many well-known TV dramas on TV were actually invested and filmed by TV stations, some of which were central stations, some provincial and local stations.
But for personal investment, to be honest, there is basically none.
No way, the investment in filming a TV series is too big.
The movie can still find a way to reduce the budget, the TV series is so long and there are many people, how to reduce the budget requires a lot of money.
is like the well-known "Journey to the West"
When this drama was filmed, it was really saved and saved, and the total investment still reached 6 million, and the filming was even stopped for a time due to lack of funds.
At that time, the salary of actors was relatively small.
In the past two years, the salary level of the actors has risen, and when "Fengshen Bang" was filmed, it was said that the highest salary was tens of thousands.
No one knows better than Jiang Jiani herself how complicated the plot of "The Legend of the Fengshen List" she wrote.
If the other party wants to take a screenshot of a movie, she still believes in personal investment, but is it a TV series? Solo investment?
Fools, huh?
In comparison, royalties are nothing.
Jiang Jiani's spirit, which was still a little excited, was like being poured cold water all of a sudden: "I thought about it, let's forget it." ”
Xiao Li editor: "??? ”
He didn't understand, why did he suddenly give up if he wasn't okay just now: "Teacher Jiang......"
Jiang Jiani waved her hand: "I haven't finished the book yet, let's talk about it when I'm done." ”
"I'm sorry for you, Xiao Li, let you go for nothing."
Editor Xiao Li was suddenly anxious: "Teacher Jiang ......"
Jiang Jiani patted her stomach gently: "Xiao Li, it's not that I don't want to make this money." ”
"Look at my belly, it's so big, the child is about to be born, before the child is born, I really don't have the energy to deal with these things."
"In this way, if this director Zheng Changming is willing, you can tell him to let him wait."
"At least when I give birth to the child and finish the novel."
"Filming a TV series is not a joke, what about millions, at least let the family see the ending of the story and then talk about the rest, we can't trick people, right?"
Xiao Li saw her huge belly at this time.
I couldn't say what I wanted to persuade all of a sudden.
What do you mean?
When Zheng Changming contacted them, their editor-in-chief also said this problem.
Zheng Changming means that Jiang Shan can write faster, finish the story behind, and they can publish it slowly.
He shoots here, and the magazine continues to publish here.
Both sides go hand in hand.
By the time the serialization ends, the TV series will be almost filmed, and it will be promoted after the end, but I don't believe that the TV series will not explode by then.
However, none of them expected that Teacher Jiang was pregnant, and seeing that she was about to give birth, they refused.
Xiao Li is not stupid.
He could see that Mr. Jiangshan was not short of money at all, and writing was just a hobby for others.
It's useless for you to force such a person.
If it's urgent, maybe people will stop picking and doing it, then won't their magazine be finished?
Be reasonable.
After contacting them by phone several times, they all knew that Teacher Jiang Shan was a young girl, but they didn't expect this young girl to be an expectant mother.
Editor Xiao Li left in despair.
Lu Xiangyang helped Jiang Jiani to sit down on the edge of the bed, washed her feet and massaged her legs with warm water: "Didn't you keep saying that it would be nice if you could make a TV series, why don't you want to shoot it?" ”
Jiang Jiani said depressedly: "Who said I don't want to? I want to die. ”
"The problem is, it's not reliable."
"This Zheng Changming actually dares to say that he is a sole proprietor of the drama, he dares to speak wildly, I still dare not believe it."
"A modern drama costs millions to be filmed, this is still the most money-burning costume, and he is the sole proprietorship?"
"I believe in him to have ghosts."
"Forget it, I don't think I have the life to make this money, so I'd better earn the manuscript fee honestly."
Copyright fees or something, it seems that she really doesn't have this life.
She gave up, but Xiao Li didn't give up.
He left Jiang's house, found a public phone booth as soon as possible, called back to the editorial office, and explained the situation.
The editor-in-chief stood up suddenly: "What? Refused? Because you're about to have a baby? ”
"You're fucking fart."
"Teacher Jiangshan only needs to sign the copyright contract of the TV series, and he doesn't need to go to the filming site, how can it affect the birth of children?"
"Did you kid say something that made Teacher Jiang angry, so people refused."
Xiao Li hurriedly said: "No, no, that's how Teacher Jiang refused, did she give a low amount of money first?" ”
Editor-in-chief: "Mr. Jiang personally said that the copyright fee is low? Didn't you say the price was negotiable? ”
Xiao Li was stunned: "Ah, I, I didn't say the copyright fee ......"
The editor-in-chief instantly burst into a thunderous rage: "You ¥%#%¥@%#......"
He was like an angry bull, and it was not easy to calm down: "According to what you said, Mr. Jiang was quite willing, but later refused, it must be that your kid said something that shouldn't be said." ”
"You honestly learn everything that Teacher Jiangshan said, as well as what you said yourself."
"Missing a sentence, Lao Tzu will deduct your salary for three months!"
