Chapter 392 Next, a fairy tale drama
School starts.
When school started this semester, Jiang Xue was already in the second semester of her junior year.
Time really flies.
The movie matter has come to an end for the time being.
The subsequent matters include box office sharing and sales and distribution in the international market.
There are professional staff to coordinate these.
However, as for selling the film copyright to TV stations and media for broadcasting and generating revenue, the company held a meeting and finally decided to sell it at a buyout price.
As for the video platforms, the buyout prices offered by several of them were all good.
Some of the company's main creative staff, led by Mu Yunzhou, suggested buying out the company and putting the money in their pockets.
As for operations, Chen Jing, the person in charge, thinks that a profit-sharing model can be tried.
The platform will settle copyright fees with the film producer based on the number of times the film is played on the platform.
Based on the online popularity and box office numbers of "Youth Again".
There is also China’s population base.
There must be many people who want to watch it but don’t have the chance.
If you put it on a video platform, the cost of watching it is much lower than going to the cinema.
There are also some that I have watched in cinemas for the second or third time.
Pay per click based on their experience in generating traffic for online dramas.
The final profit may be much higher than the buyout.
Jiang Xue selected a platform that had great potential for future development and authorized them to broadcast exclusively.
The decision was made to choose the profit-sharing model.
Director Mu plans to take a break for a while, look for inspiration, and then start other film projects.
Director Mu, while you are taking a break and looking for inspiration, please pay attention to our company's big production this year. This will be broadcast on satellite TV, and the estimated investment is over 100 million yuan. If you are interested in being a director, then be a director. If you have other plans, we will help you find a suitable director.
As she spoke, Jiang Xue handed the written script to Mu Yunzhou.
Mu Yunzhou picked it up and flipped through a few pages, frowning and saying, "Ancient costume drama? Or a fairy tale drama?"
"I may not be good at ancient costume dramas. But I do have a suitable director to recommend, and he is very famous in the TV circle. I will take the script back and have a look at it, and then show it to him. If he is willing to shoot, I will ask him to contact the company." Mu Yunzhou said.
The person he was talking about is a male director and producer from Hong Kong, his surname is Chu.
He is in his forties and was previously an assistant director at a famous film company in Hong Kong.
After the reform and opening up, he went to the mainland to develop his career and filmed several good low-cost costume fantasy dramas.
The script given by the boss was a fantasy drama, and he was good at shooting fantasy dramas, using bizarre techniques to show fantastic scenes.
The two people knew each other because Mu Yunzhou had previously worked as an assistant director for this person.
Mu Yunzhou still recognized his skills.
Mu Yunzhou and Jiang Xue told him about this man's situation.
The other party’s name and previous works.
Jiang Xue's eyes became brighter as she listened.
She had actually wanted to film the script from the very beginning when she got it. Before the script was even finished, Jiang Xue had already paid a high price for it and purchased the film and television rights. However, if she planned to film it, she would need to invest a relatively large amount of money, and it would be a big production.
So it was put on hold.
Now that the company has money it wants to restart.
I didn’t expect that the original director Mu Yunzhou actually knew him!
"I know him, but would he be interested in our small company?"
"Boss, Back to Youth has won a great victory. Yunzhou Film and Television is no longer a small company." said Chen Jing who walked in.
"You came at the right time. You and Director Mu should contact this director to see if he is interested in the script. If he is, talk to him about relevant cooperation." Jiang Xue said.
"Does he have a company? If he doesn't have a company or his previous company is not very good, you can also consider signing him." Jiang Xue advised.
"Okay, I will talk to him with Chen Jing." Mu Yunzhou said.
Chen Jing also nodded in agreement.
Seeing that Jiang Xue and Mu Yunzhou seemed to have almost finished discussing their matter, Chen Jing asked Jiang Xue if she had time.
She wanted to talk to Jiang Xue about Song Zhi.
Mu Yunzhou left with a look of respect.
"You asked me to sign her to our agency, and I contacted someone. The price offered by the other company is too high. They want 20 million in compensation. Are you still willing to poach her?"
"Ah? Twenty million. If I remember correctly, is their company worth twenty million?" Jiang Xue asked in confusion after being surprised.
“Originally when I first met Song Zhi, I also discussed her contract.
The penalty for breach of contract in the contract is one million.
I had already contacted Song Zhi, and then I contacted the other company. They asked for a huge amount of money, and then I found out that there was a supplementary agreement. The amount of money is now entirely decided by his company. ”
"Song Zhi is not famous, and there is a scandal. Didn't you say that their company is almost unable to make ends meet? Why is they asking for so much?" The Song Zhi that Jiang Xue was talking about was a client of the company they ran.
Song Zhi was accused by a female star in the circle of being the third party, but the company did nothing.
She paid the money herself to find an outside operating company to help her handle it. Jiang Xue met her at the company and recognized her.
The other party will become very famous in the future.
The most crucial point is that in this fantasy drama in her hands, Song Zhi plays a supporting female role.
The mistress's pet.
She quickly became popular with her smart and cunning performance style.
After filming several supporting roles, she played the leading role in a drama around 2016.
After the big hit, basically all the subsequent films were about female protagonists.
Before Jiang Xue's rebirth, Song Zhi's works were still popular.
Song Zhi had a lot of complaints about his current company, so Jiang Xue asked the staff who went with him at the time to ask him whether he had any plans to change jobs.
Song Zhi didn't want to agree at first.
When choosing a company, you must choose carefully.
The other party stated his identity.
It has the same investment boss as Yunzhou Film and Television, which produced this year's hit movie "Youth Again".
Several new and popular actresses who have been very popular recently are from this agency.
It is said in the circle that from the boss to the management, all the people are women.
Therefore, there is no such thing as having dinner with the director in this company, because the subsidiary has many projects and many good roles.
If she signs with this company, maybe she can get a role in the next billion-dollar movie.
If you're lucky, you might even get to play an important role.
In addition, the operating company she is contacting now obviously also has cooperation with this company.
Think of the other party’s wealthy publicity method.
Her attitude became positive.
The terms and conditions of the contract were almost negotiated, but something unexpected happened during the process of terminating the contract with the original company.
Now the other party won't let her go and her contract will last for another two years.
The other party’s demand for releasing the person is 20 million in compensation! !
Twenty million!
Their company is a small one that is about to go bankrupt, but it has more than 20 million.
She felt she wasn't worth the price.
She's not even worth two million.
She thought one million was expensive.
The boss is crazy about money.
Chen Jing explained the situation and Jiang Xue thought about it.
She had seen some other stars from the company before and was impressed by the hidden dragons and crouching tigers.
Several famous people in later generations worked in this company.
But I vaguely remember that it was not my current company. That company was bigger and there were many celebrities in the circle who were very popular in previous years.
If not,
Instruct Chen Jing: "Go and investigate what's going on with this company."
"Put Song Zhi's matter aside for now. Contact Yang Wengang and ask him to take a look. If he can't poach her, then consider what conditions are needed to acquire the company."
As expected, now that he has money, the boss has become more generous. Chen Jing thought to herself, nodded and left.
