Zhang Guangzhen just didn't want to go back.
Doing business requires mutual consent. Zhang Guangzhen now regrets that he was blinded by Cao Shao's high salary and fell into such a dilemma.
Zhang Guang really regrets it!
Before "The Princess's New Clothes" was broadcast, Zhang Guangzhen was not considered a first-class screenwriter in Taiwan. The quotation for writing a script was not even 500,000. Tianjiao offered 500,000, and Zhang Guangzhen went to Chengdu without saying a word.
Tianjiao was generous with his money and was a good person. Later, he said that there were problems with the script of "The Princess' New Clothes" that needed to be revised, but he did not bother Zhang Guangzhen. After obtaining Zhang Guangzhen's consent, he asked Wen Ying to make the changes.
Zhang Guangzhen collects the money and others do the work, so Zhang Guangzhen naturally has no objection!
Only those who deal with words frequently know that revision is sometimes more difficult than creation.
Creation is like painting on a blank piece of paper. There are no restrictions and you can paint whatever you want.
Modifications are made by adding or deleting elements from a painting that already has a draft.
There is clearly a pear in the painting, but they insisted on changing it into a bunch of bananas. Isn't that torturous?
No matter how I change it, the banana will always have the shadow of a pear. Why not just change the drawing paper and start again?
This is Zhang Guangzhen’s current situation.
No, his situation was even more difficult than this. He started by drawing a pear, and when he was almost done, Yu Tianlin said he wanted an apple. Zhang Guangzhen gritted his teeth and changed it to an apple, but someone else said they wanted a banana.
The outlines of the pear and apple are similar and can be changed.
How to change apple into banana?
Even if it could be changed, Zhang Guangzhen didn't want to change it.
It is best to let only one person make the decision for a play. The worst thing is to have several people make the decision, and everyone has their own ideas, then the result will be a mess!
Zhang Guangzhen could barely accept changing pears to apples and apples to bananas.
But when he finally came up with the banana, CEO Jin thought it wasn't impressive enough and asked him to change it into a Transformer. What should he do?
Zhang Guangzhen doesn't want to do this kind of cross-species request even if the reward is increased!
Mr. Jin is wealthy and has a rough working style. He even came to the celebration party to arrest people. Zhang Guangzhen looked at the powerful Boss Jin and wanted to slap himself twice - he was too shortsighted. One million is indeed a lot of money, but the times are different now. After the broadcast of "The Princess's New Clothes", the quotation for writing a script by himself has risen sharply. A jump from 500,000 to 1 million is in line with the market situation.
Once the ratings for "The Princess' New Clothes" exceeded 4, let alone 1 million for a script, even if Zhang Guangzhen offered 2 million, there would be people willing to buy it.
This is what happens when a drama is written that is a hit in terms of ratings. No one's personal connections are as effective as market recognition. In this industry, not only do actors get their pay increased by hit dramas, but everyone from directors to screenwriters also benefit.
Zhang Guangzhen knew that the huge hit of "The Princess' New Clothes" was not entirely due to his contribution in terms of the script, and he had to thank Wen Ying for the increase in his offer.
But people are used to judging people by their age and experience, and do not believe that Wen Ying contributed much to the script of "The Princess' New Clothes". Except for Tianjiao and his group, outsiders all attributed the credit for the script to Zhang Guangzhen.
Mr. Jin is no exception.
Zhang Guangzhen no longer wanted to change the script, and President Jin considered asking another screenwriter of "The Princess' New Clothes" for help.
Wen Yingren was standing in front of President Jin. When President Jin saw that she was a little girl, he immediately gave up the idea and decided to just catch Zhang Guangzhen and go back to continue working hard.
Zhang Guang really wanted to scold President Jin for being domineering. Even bodyguard Wang was very unhappy: This guy has such a lack of vision. He actually doesn't believe in Wen Ying's screenwriting ability?
Xie Qian raised his eyes to look at Wen Ying. Wen Ying herself was not angry at all. She stood there with a smile on her face, having switched to watching the show mode.
——Yes, this is definitely not the first time Wen Ying has met someone like Boss Jin, so naturally she doesn’t care.
Although Wen Ying herself didn't care, Xie Qian felt unhappy.
President Jin was still engaged in a verbal stalemate with Zhang Guangzhen. Right now was the time when coal prices in China were rising, and money was really just paper to some coal bosses. Considering President Jin's wealth, he was willing to persuade Zhang Guangzhen in this way, which was very similar to the great men in ancient times who "respected the wise and humbled themselves". However, Zhang Guangzhen repeatedly refused, and President Jin was very displeased.
It’s been a long time since anyone gave Mr. Jin such a favor!
"Writer Zhang, you signed a contract. If you're not satisfied with the compensation, I can increase it. As long as you agree on the amount, money is not a problem."
Mr. Jin's tone implied that Zhang Guangzhen was deliberately raising the price.
Go ahead and raise it, Mr. Jin is rich and has no shortage of money!
Zhang Guangzhen was not moved at all.
President Jin wants to save face, and Zhang Guangzhen also wants to save face, not to mention that Wen Ying and the other two are present.
Everyone loves money, but a gentleman earns money in a proper way. Zhang Guangzhen cares a lot about the reputation of a writer. When provoked by President Jin, he even said that he did not agree to continue revising the script.
"Just follow the contract. My work is done. Mr. Jin, please go back!"
President Jin's face darkened. "You said it was finished? I insisted that you haven't finished writing the script yet!"
Zhang Guangzhen was furious. Mr. Jin was trying to be a rogue!
Maybe we really have to go to court.
Zhang Guangzhen glanced at Wen Ying, and Wen Ying smiled at him: The promise of introducing a lawyer still counts.
Zhang Guangzhen suddenly felt heroic.
——Anyway, we’ve already fallen out, so let them do whatever they want. Grandpa Zhang won’t serve these grandsons anymore!
Before Zhang Guangzhen could jump up and down and curse, Xie Qian suddenly chimed in, "A forced melon is not sweet. Teacher Zhang has already refused. If President Jin insists on using the contract to pressure him, isn't he afraid that Teacher Zhang will be dissatisfied and deliberately change the script to a bad one? President Jin may be dissatisfied with the current script, but Teacher Zhang can accept it. I don't think Teacher Zhang would easily destroy his reputation. If I were President Jin, I would leave professional matters to professionals. Teacher Zhang is a professional screenwriter."
