Xiao Douding was obviously very interested in this so-called costume comedy project. In less than ten minutes, the doorbell rang at home.
"Boss, it's only a few minutes away. You have nothing to do at home every day, so you should go to the studio to inspect the work." Xiao Douding couldn't help shouting as soon as he walked in and saw He Xin dressed in a singlet and enlarged pants.
"Who said I have nothing to do? I'm studying the script at home. Hey, where's your script?"
"Give!"
Xiao Douding took out a bunch of manuscript papers from his bag. He didn't bind them, so he just held them with a clip.
When He Xin took it over, he curled his lips subconsciously, guessing that Xiao Douding must have been deceived by some unknown screenwriter. There are not a few screenwriters floating around the capital these days who are in demand or follow the trend of creation.
"Take a look first. I think the theme of this book is very novel. If it is produced, it will definitely be popular." Xiao Douding vowed.
"Well, I'll look through it first. If you want to drink anything, go to the kitchen and get it."
He Xin sat down, and the first page was blank, without even a name. When he opened the first page, he saw the words "The first time Guo Nuxia smashed up Tongfu Store in anger, shopkeeper Tong cleverly pointed out the lost people."
.
Hey, why does it look familiar? Look down quickly:
On a dark and windy murderous night, the legendary male and female robbers descended from the sky, disrupting the peaceful life of Tongfu Inn. Guo Furong, who came from a prominent family and was pampered since childhood...
It was just two lines long, and he felt like he didn't even need to read further.
When Xiao Douding took a bottle of Daily Fresh Fruit C from the kitchen refrigerator and walked out, he saw He Xin sitting on the sofa looking at him blankly, and couldn't help but ask: "What are you doing?"
"Where did you get this script?"
To be honest, He Xin was really surprised. This phenomenal situational TV series left such a deep impression on him. Not only was it often replayed on TV for more than ten years after it was broadcast, it was even made into a movie.
, and has also developed a series of cultural derivatives including large-scale online games. This is simply a golden doll!
"I got it from a friend of mine. This book was written by him. What's wrong?"
"Why don't you even have a name? And what's your friend's name?"
"Oh, it's called "Wulin Gaiden". I just took the printed version and forgot to write my name. My friend's name is Ning Caishen. You should have heard of this name. He is the screenwriter of "City Men and Women"."
Okay, the name and the screenwriter all matched. But he was still a little curious, how could the script of such a phenomenal situational TV series fall into the hands of Xiao Douding?
Xiao Douding had nothing to hide and told him everything.
It turns out that when Xiao Douding traveled around the world, he often wrote some travel notes and posted them online. From this, he also met many Internet writers on the Internet. Ning Caishen was one of them, and he became a netizen because of his speculation.
This time it was also a coincidence that the God of Wealth got married. She was invited to attend the wedding and learned that the God of Wealth had just created a costume comedy script, but the production company that had been cooperating with them was because of the success of the previous two films "Healthy Express" and "Men and Women in the City"
, the production company prefers some urban themes and is not optimistic about this type of modern colloquial costume comedy themes.
Xiao Douding, who was looking for a new project, read the script out of curiosity, but was suddenly attracted by the tradition and modernity, the East and the West, humor and warmth, the irony of martial arts and the promotion of the chivalrous spirit, as well as the structure of the postmodern style.
I was attracted by all kinds of absurd jokes mixed with realist teachings, Internet language, pop songs, advertising paragraphs, variety shows, current affairs news, etc.
"Then how can he sell this book?" He Xin asked quickly after listening.
This time it was Xiao Douding's turn to be dumbfounded. She looked at him in disbelief and said, "Boss, you want to buy it before you even read it?"
"Well, I took a quick glance at it just now, and I thought the lines in it were quite funny, and the style was quite novel. I just wanted to ask about the price first?"
"When he wrote "Healthy Express" and "Husband and Wife", the price was only two to three thousand yuan per episode. This book will probably not exceed that price."
He Xin nodded, this price is more in line with the market. These days, for big writers like Hai Yan, their scripts basically start at 50,000 yuan per episode; for the more well-known first-line screenwriters, it is about 10,000 to 10,000 yuan.
Around 20,000 yuan. The next round is for screenwriters like Ning Caishen who have some works and are well-known. The price ranges from 2,000 to 5,000 yuan. As for those low-level screenwriters who are in demand or follow the trend of creation, those who are given two to three hundred yuan
have.
However, he flipped through it and saw that there were only thirty episodes. In his memory, this drama had as many as eighty episodes.
“There shouldn’t be so few sitcoms, right?”
"I originally planned to write 100 episodes, but I heard that the producers were not very interested, so I stopped temporarily."
After saying that, Xiao Douding hurriedly said: "Actually, these thirty episodes are just right! Boss, I think so. Although the cost of this kind of situational TV series is not high, if we really need to invest in a hundred episodes of TV series, with our
The current strength of the studio is definitely not good. But I have estimated that for these thirty episodes, one hundred thousand yuan per episode is only three million at most. Our studio will contribute half of the capital, and we will find a partner, preferably Xiangbo
Na, Hairun, etc., they both have strength and have good cooperative relations with TV stations..."
Before Xiao Douding could finish speaking, He Xin interrupted: "You just said that the production company Ning Caishen and the others worked with before are not interested in this kind of subject matter. How can you be sure that companies like Bona and Hairun will invest?
Woolen cloth?"
"Hehe, boss, actually I have contacted the manager of Bonana's production department before, so I excerpted a short excerpt and showed it to him. He is very interested in this subject. I probably understand, too, this of the God of Wealth
This book is suitable for young people like us. After all, older people are less able to accept new things."
What Xiao Douding said is correct. I remember that in my previous life, when "Wulin Gaiden" was on the air, most of the people who watched it were young people, while the elderly preferred TV series with realistic themes in which the parents were short-lived.
However, he disagreed with Xiao Douding's suggestion. You must know that this is a phenomenal sitcom. It will definitely be popular after it is shot for thirty episodes, but after it becomes popular, it will definitely be popular in the next fifty or seventy episodes.
It's not the current price of two to three thousand yuan per episode.
But more importantly, after it becomes popular, it’s hard to say whether the next ones will have their turn!
"In this case, I will discuss this matter with Haozi later. Then you'd better ask your friend, the God of Wealth, out. Let's meet first and talk later."
