Chapter 6 High-priced script

When Lu Chen arrived at the dreamland, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.

Today is the weekend, and although the director said he had to go to work, there was actually no one in the company.

Compared with the single-family office building of Shengying Media, the office area on the first floor of Dreamland seems relatively small.

Of course, whether a company is well run or not is not entirely related to the size of the office area. And according to Lu Chen’s understanding, Dream Kingdom is not much worse than Shengying in terms of film and television dramas, but Shengying’s management

The business scope is relatively broad.

When Lu Chen came to the front desk of the Dreamland office building, he saw someone talking and laughing with the girl at the front desk. Lu Chen was embarrassed to interrupt, so he stood aside and waited for a while.

The girl at the front desk saw Lu Chen standing aside, so she asked, "Sir, who are you looking for?"

Lu Chen replied: "I'm looking for the director of your planning department."

Hearing his answer, the girl at the front desk smiled slightly, raised her right hand and pointed at the man beside Lu Chen.

"This is it."

Lu Chen and the man beside him turned to look at each other at the same time, sizing each other up.

It was a little different from Lu Chen's imagination. The director of the Dreamland Planning Department seemed to be relatively young, at least twenty-seven or eighty years old.

Cheng Ming asked politely: "Are you Chen Lu?"

Lu Chen replied: "Yes."

Upon hearing this answer, Cheng Ming stretched out his right hand.

"Hello, I am the director of the planning department, and my name is Cheng Ming."

Lu Chen stretched out his left hand and shook hands with him.

"Hello."

"Then let's talk somewhere else."

Later, Cheng Ming brought Lu Chen to his office.

After Lu Chen entered the office, he took a look at the entire office. The office was relatively simple and ordinary. It was completely incomparable with the office of the director of Shengying Media.

Cheng Ming picked up a water glass, walked to the water dispenser, poured a glass of warm water for Lu Chen, and then asked, "What do you call Mr. Chen Lu?"

"The morning of the road, the road of the road, the morning of the morning."

After asking for the name, Cheng Ming went straight to the topic and said: "That's it, Mr. Lu Chen, we plan to buy the script of "The Unruly Princess"."

Hearing that someone was buying the script, Lu Chen instantly became more energetic. No matter what the market was like now, he would first accumulate a certain amount of capital before getting the money. But what about the price?

Although he was very excited, Lu Chen still asked calmly: "Basically 60% of the TV series on the market today are comedies. I have heard from many companies that the comedy market is basically saturated. Why does your company like it?"

The script of "The Unruly Princess"? My script can be regarded as a kind of happy comedy."

Cheng Ming took a sip of water, and then replied with a smile on his face: "It is true that as you said, the market for happy comedies is basically saturated, but there will always be a market for excellent happy comedies."

"In my opinion, your film "The Unruly Princess" is an excellent happy comedy."

Having said this, Cheng Ming looked directly at Lu Chen and asked, "In addition, Mr. Lu might as well guess what I like most about this drama?"

Lu Chen frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and answered, "Character creation?"

Cheng Ming shook his head, then picked up the script placed in front of him and took a look.

"Although this is partly the reason, what I like most is the fictional world in which this story takes place."

"Currently, there are basically modern comedies on the market, and people are tired of them. But if we change to an imaginary world, it will give the audience a different look and feel."

After hearing these last words, Lu Chen understood instantly. At first, he was worried about cultural incompatibility, but he forgot that human beings are animals with a curiosity for novelty.

The themes in this world have been poorly filmed, and of course people want to see a slightly different world.

In this way, the market for historical dramas on Earth may still be huge.

"By the way, Mr. Lu, was this script created by you yourself?" Cheng Ming asked.

Lu Chen came back to his senses and replied with a smile: "Yes."

"Can I ask in advance, how many episodes does this show have in total?"

"Episode 33."

After listening to Lu Chen's answer, Cheng Ming dragged his chin with his right hand and lowered his head in thought for a moment, then continued: "Let's do this, we will buy your script for 50,000 per episode."

fifty thousand?

Lu Chen was stunned when he heard the price, not because it was too low, but because the price was too high for an ordinary TV drama script.

He had inquired about the price of happy comedies before. The scripts of happy comedies written by well-known screenwriters in the circle only cost about 50,000 yuan, and usually better scripts only cost 20,000 yuan per episode, and 5,000 yuan per episode is the best.

normal.

Dreamland actually paid him such a high price, but in this way, they really valued this script.

Seeing that Lu Chen seemed hesitant, Cheng Ming thought that the price he quoted was too low, so he said again: "Mr. Lu, fifty thousand per episode is the maximum price I can give. If it is higher, I'm afraid there is no way to pass the review above. You

As you know, the salary of actors nowadays can easily reach tens of millions, and we can only deduct points as much as we can from the script or other aspects."

Lu Chen thought for a while and said, "I want to think about it first."

Since this script was favored by so many companies, its price might even increase. Lu Chen didn't know how to bargain, but he still wanted to sell the script at the most expensive price.

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Cheng Ming had an ominous premonition in his heart, because many people said this and basically had no follow-up.

Although he did have reservations about the bid, if the price of this kind of comedy was higher, the company's top management would probably not agree. His rights as a director have been reduced. Sometimes, no matter how good the script is, he can't do anything about it.

Buy it.

There was no way, Cheng Ming had no choice but to say politely: "This is my phone number. If you think about it, you can call me. We are always welcome. As for the price, if your price increase is not very high, I can

Apply to the top and see.”

Lu Chen stood up and took the business card from Cheng Ming's hand.

"Okay, I'll call you then."

"Then I won't give it away."

"Um."

Then Lu Chen left the dreamland and returned to where he lived.

After he went back, he opened his phone and saw a lot of text messages on it, all of which were from companies that wanted to buy the script of "The Unruly Princess". Lu Chen thought about it, added all the contact information in those text messages, and then took the opportunity to ask those people

The highest price offered by the company.

Seeing Lu Chen looking at his phone on the sofa and giggling non-stop, Shi Yin asked, "Where did you go in the afternoon? You keep giggling when you come back?"

Lu Chen thought for a while and replied, "I didn't go anywhere."

Although Shiyin came from the mountains, Lu Chen admired her spirit of going out of the mountains, but looking at her clothes and the choice of accommodation, she knew that she was a money-worshiping girl who did not have the spending power but wanted high quality.

life.

But she couldn't let her know that the script she wrote was so valuable. If this guy relied on her in the future, she would be in trouble.

"By the way, are you going to Shengying to participate in the idol selection tomorrow?" Lu Chen asked.

Hearing this question, Shiyin flipped up her hair and said proudly: "Yes!"

"If you want an autograph, you have to hurry up! You won't have this chance when I become famous in the future."
