Chapter 30 The olive branch of Sugar Man Film and Television

Bedroom 8308.

"Buzz buzz~"

Chen Heyu stopped typing and glanced at the phone interface. The area code in front of it was very familiar. It was a landline phone number in Shanghai.

After thinking for a moment, he pressed the answer button.

"Excuse me, is this classmate Chen Heyu? I am Cai Yinong from Sugar Man Film and Television. Is it convenient for us to chat?"

Chen Heyu's eyes narrowed, and he was not surprised that Cai Yinong directly called out his name. After all, the novel circle is also a part of the entertainment industry. With his status in the circle, it is not difficult to find out his true information.

"Hello, Mr. Cai, is it convenient?"

After Chen Heyu finished speaking, he walked straight to the balcony and closed the glass door, so that the noise in his ears became smaller.

"Let's get straight to the point. You should have guessed the reason why I'm here. Sugar Man Film and Television is very interested in the TV series copyright of "Want to Meet You". The price is two million." Cai Yinong's voice was full of confidence. This offer was hers.

A result that defies all opinions.

This year, the time-travel drama "Bu Bu Jing Xin" produced by Sugar Man and Mango Channel, won the Mango Channel's prime time ratings in one fell swoop. After its premiere on the Internet, the number of views on a single platform exceeded 300 million. Some rumors are spreading,

The Tang Dynasty drama earned 200 million.

No wonder he is so wealthy!

"The price is no problem, but the selection of the male and female protagonists needs to be approved by me, as is the script."

Chen Heyu said bluntly that he was worried that after the copyright was sold, the plot would be messed up. If this was the case, it would be better to wait until the capital was strong and invest in a company to jointly produce it.

"I can agree to your request." Cai Yinong was unexpectedly cheerful and agreed immediately.

Chen Heyu thought about it, and estimated that the other party had already learned about the communication process between him and Huacei, including his harsh requirements, before making this call.

"I have a request here. I hope that Chen Heyu can serve as a screenwriting consultant and control the details of the script creation. Of course, he will also be paid." Cai Yinong said.

"Can."

Chen Heyu agreed, determined the method and place of signing the contract, and then hung up the phone.

Although Tangren's company is headquartered in Jincheng, it also has an office in Shanghai, so a staff member was assigned to come to Lucheng to sign the contract.

"Mr. Chen, it's a pleasure to work with you." The staff of Sugar Man, wearing a business suit, stood up with a smile after Chen Heyu signed.

He glanced at the lawyer beside him out of the corner of his eye and thought to himself: "It's really not like a freshman who actually knows how to sign a contract with a lawyer."

"You're welcome, thank you."

Chen Heyu stood up, shook hands with the other party and said goodbye, declined the dinner invitation, and then left the coffee shop.

"Lawyer Zhang, thank you for your hard work. The fee has been transferred to your card. Please check it carefully."

"No problem, Mr. Chen. This is my business card. You can contact me anytime if you need it in the future."

Zhang Wei took a look at the credit receipt message and smiled with satisfaction. In just two hours, two thousand yuan arrived. Who could not love this kind of easy and labor-saving work?

"Um."

Chen Heyu accepted the business card, which will most likely be used in the future. Finding a professional lawyer to review the contract terms and avoid contract traps is also a valuable experience that society has taught him.

The legal fees were only RMB 2,000, and the tax of RMB 320,000 was deducted from the TV series copyright income, which made him feel heartbroken. In addition, there was still RMB 1.7 million in cash left in his card.

The money for the decoration of the villa has also been secured, and I feel instantly refreshed, as I don't have to pay the final payment and sell stocks.

In the next few days, Sugar Man sent a bunch of artist information and photos, clearly showing his filmmaking experience.

Choice of male lead:

Hu Ge, Sugar Man's First Brother, a costumed male god, the beautiful memories of a generation, "Sword of Immortals" and "Nirvana in Fire" are all phenomenal hit dramas;

Jiang Jinfu, a newcomer in Sugar Manpower, Hu Ge will personally match him next year, but unfortunately he has never been a hit, and finally became popular with his sharp "boxing skills";

Lin Gengxin, the dream of 300 million girls, is still a newcomer who doesn’t know how to debut;

…

The heroine here:

Tang Yan, who became famous thanks to her role as Zixuan in "Sword and Sword 3", will also be a leader among post-80s actresses in the future;

Liu Shishi, also a first-line actress who became popular in "Sword and Sword 3", will be ranked among the "Four Little Actresses of the New Generation" along with "Tang Yan, Yang Mi, and Qi Wei" at next year's National Drama Ceremony;

…

Which one is more suitable?

Chen Heyu closed his eyes and pictures of these people flashed through his mind, but he found that none of them were satisfactory.

Hu Ge's acting skills are good, and he is definitely more than enough to play the role of middle-aged Li Ziwei, but he can't play Li Ziwei's youthful look, Pass!

Jiang Jinfu can’t do it either. He’s so muscular, so if he plays the 18-year-old Li Ziwei, it’ll be awkward no matter how you look at it. Pass!

Lin Gengxin, as soon as I think of his magical smile, I pass directly!

Since none of the Sugar Man artists are suitable, then look for non-Sugar Man artists. After much consideration, I still can’t think of a suitable candidate. The ones with acting skills are too old, and the ones with suitable looks haven’t debuted yet. Suddenly, I had an idea, so let’s do it.

An audition event can also increase the popularity of a TV series.

Isn't this the way Star Master's "Mermaid" plays?

The drama hasn’t even been filmed yet, but it’s already popular!

Chen Heyu conveyed his inner thoughts to Cai Yinong. As for whether he could get support, he was a little unsure. After all, he rejected all the male artists that Sugar Man admired.

"Does it have to be this way?" Cai Yinong did not support his idea. She would rather have Chen Heyu choose from Sugar Man's artist list instead of using the company's resources to promote a new artist.

"Anyway, if you find a suitable candidate, you can sign him, and it won't be considered a loss of money."

Chen Heyu understood her concerns, thought about it, and followed her point of view.

"Okay, I'll arrange this." Cai Yinong smiled bitterly, and finally agreed. Anyway, the sugar man will not suffer any loss.

Sugar Man has frequently released hit dramas in the past few years. It soon reached a cooperation with Shanghai TV Station to hold a character audition competition. After the registration channel and phone number were announced, there were a lot of people who responded.

There are ordinary amateurs with no experience, professional students from film and television schools, and some third- and fourth-tier artists who are slightly famous in the industry.

But no one could have imagined that the person who could influence the final selection was actually just a freshman from Lucheng University Town.

As time went by, the talent show was held in full swing, and some artists who would be popular in future generations also appeared on the program list.

Wu Qian is a freshman in the Department of Art at Jiangcheng University. She is 18 years old and will be the number one star of Huace Film and Television. There should be no problem with her playing the role of Chen Yunru, but whether she can perfectly handle the role of Huang Yuxuan is still doubtful.

If it were thirty-year-old Wu Qian, Chen Heyu would not hesitate and recommend her to be the heroine.

Forget it, let's make a tentative decision. At the worst possible scenario, we'll let her play Chen Yunru, and the role of Huang Yuxuan will be given to Tang Yan. Isn't that how "Why Sheng Xiao Mo" was handled? It was also a great success in the end.

The male lead candidates include Han Dongjun and Li Xian...

Thinking of the several sweet pet dramas that Li Xian will star in in the future, he will be considered a hit. He also co-produced "Where the Wind Is" with Liu Tianxian, which also achieved good results and is worth recommending.

Then, Chen Heyu sent the recommendation list to Cai Yinong. Of course, this is only a preliminary plan, and it will be finalized after auditions.

"I'm going to Shanghai next week to discuss cooperation. Do you want to go with me so we can see Hu Ge?"

Chen Heyu seduced Luo Wenwen.
