Even Xu Fan, who was always strict and serious, couldn't help laughing when he heard this. This guy was indeed interesting, but he just couldn't figure this person out!
Why aren't you afraid? Does this mean there's someone behind you?
In fact, if you think about it, if there wasn't someone behind her, the contract wouldn't be so biased towards her.
But it seems like the other person doesn't appreciate it.
"How is it? Can we talk?" Seeing Xu Fan was silent for a long time, Lu Ziyao couldn't help but ask.
"We can talk about it. Wait a moment, I'll report to our President Qian." Although President Qian meant to meet the other party's requirements as much as possible, it would be better to ask after thinking about it.
"good."
Lu Ziyao was not in a hurry. She sat on the sofa, drinking coffee and waiting slowly.
Originally, there was no need to rush this project. The preliminary contract must be signed first so that the subsequent cooperation could proceed without any estimate.
Moreover, Qian Duoduo had already discussed this with her before, so Lu Ziyao was not worried that Xu Fan would disagree with her proposal after asking for his opinion.
Just as Lu Ziyao had thought, after Xu Fan told Mr. Qian about Lu Ziyao's idea, the result was basically the same as Xu Fan had thought.
Everyone has reached a common understanding on this matter, but I still feel that I need to ask in order to be more certain of my guess.
Xu Fan came back and told Lu Ziyao what their boss Qian meant: "Boss Qian means that it's okay. This is not a problem. You can propose any conditions. You don't need to deduct the compensation and benefits that you should get."
Xu Fan couldn't help but think to himself that Mr. Qian seemed to have given Lu Ziyao a very good condition.
It's basically like giving it away for free, and letting them decide everything. It really gives them a lot of power.
Is this how rich people think? Is the money given away for free, or is this sister just being prestigious?
"In that case, let's change the contract according to what I just said. I don't want the scriptwriting fee or the final share. I just want the final say on the script and costumes and makeup."
This is the most important thing to Lu Ziyao. As for remuneration and other things, they are not particularly important to her.
"Miss Zhihuo, I don't quite understand what you mean. Clearly, the original profits and remuneration haven't changed, and I've given you both of these rights. Why do you still want to exclude the remuneration?"
Xu Fan didn't quite understand what Lu Ziyao meant and found it quite strange.
Isn't the purpose of working so hard to make money? Why don't you even want the money from the beginning?
"I want to obtain these two rights, and I should have exchanged something for them. I can't take all the good things for myself. What will others think of this?"
Lu Ziyao knew very well that with her current fame, she would never be able to get such a high profit share.
It’s because the boss is an acquaintance!
Lu Ziyao and Qian Duoduo knew very well that there was nothing shameful between them.
For Qian Duoduo, whether this project makes money or not, whether it makes more or less money, does not have much impact. The main thing is that since his sister Zizi comes to work under him, he naturally wants to give her the best conditions.
For Lu Ziyao, taking this money will not make her rich, but she will not starve to death without it. It is just something that can be ignored.
So instead of holding it in your hands and letting it burn you, it is better to just not give it up. This way you can gain some power legitimately, and then naturally no one will gossip about you behind your back.
Only then did Xu Fan know Lu Ziyao's plan. He couldn't help but look at Lu Ziyao deeply. He felt that the girl in front of him, although young, was very meticulous in doing things.
There was just one thing Xu Fan still hadn't figured out, or quite understood. He gave up thinking about it and simply asked Lu Ziyao, "I understand what you mean, but you don't want a share of the profits, you don't want the scriptwriting fee, and you're still putting so much thought into this project. Isn't that just not making a cent and being thankless? Why bother?"
"First of all, I've already received the copyright fees for the comic adaptation, so it's not like I'm not making any money."
Lu Ziyao felt that she should explain a little bit. She still had to make money. Even though her family was very rich, she was not so stupid as to just work without getting paid. That was not being rich, that was being stupid.
The main reason why this is free is because you want to get something else that is more worthy and valuable, so you will feel that it is not a loss!
"As far as I know, the copyright fees aren't particularly high, and the company takes half of the profits. The copyright fees you receive will definitely be much lower than the final share of the show's profits. The two are simply incomparable."
Xu Fan also analyzed the situation carefully for Lu Ziyao and asked her to figure it out carefully.
"The money is certainly not comparable, but I feel I've gained something more valuable. This is my first drama, and rather than making money, I'm more concerned about the quality of the show being guaranteed. My first drama was a success, so why would I be afraid that the future ones won't make money?"
Lu Ziyao is not the kind of person who would ignore the overall situation for the sake of immediate interests. These may seem like a lot, but in fact they are just some small profits.
If you sacrifice your fundamentals for these petty gains, you can only make this much money, and that's it.
People should take a long-term view.
After all, the most important point is...
It’s probably because I’m rich!
Lu Ziyao didn't say this out loud. Wouldn't it be a bit too arrogant to say it out loud? Shouldn't we be more low-key? Let's not be like this anymore.
Xu Fan couldn't help but nodded, thinking that what Lu Ziyao said made a lot of sense. Although she was young, she had really considered the long-term when doing things and had this idea. If such a person didn't succeed, who could succeed?
"I understand what you mean. I'll draft the contract according to your ideas. Please sit for a moment and I'll revise the contract."
After reaching a consensus with Lu Ziyao, Xu Fan sat back at his desk, made some changes to the original contract regarding the points they had just mentioned, and then reprinted the contract for Lu Ziyao.
"Well, there's no problem. You can sign it."
The contract is in duplicate, with Lu Ziyao and Diyu each holding one copy.
Xu Fan looked at the two names signed on the contract, one was Zhihuo and the other was Lu Ziyao. Both names sounded nice.
"It's half past ten now. I'll first introduce you to the other screenwriters and directors of this project."
After putting away the contract, Xu Fan looked at the time and thought it wasn't too late. He could introduce them to each other first. "I heard that Miss Lu is still a novice in scriptwriting. It's a good opportunity to ask for some advice. Editor Wang is our top screenwriter at Diyu."
