Chapter 320 He is the Boss
"You are not the director of the studio now, are you?" When Ye Qian said this, the three people sitting there were shocked.
The man didn't say anything. Ye Qian looked at the professor and said, "Professor Xiao, I am your student. You can't cheat me. Do you think I look like a nerd who only cares about studying and doesn't care about the outside world?"
Professor Xiao was a little surprised. He didn't expect Ye Qian to see it so quickly. He smiled with relief. Being smart is good. Everyone likes smart children. "How did you figure it out?" Zhao Zhiguo didn't expect Professor Xiao to admit it so easily. Now he looked at Ye Qian to see how she would answer.
"My wife is the director of the Grain Bureau. I know everything." At this critical moment, Gu Jinyan should be brought out for a walk. Although the director of the Grain Bureau is not a particularly high-ranking official, he is not a small one either. It is easy for him to kill an ordinary person, not to mention that whoever sits in the position of director does not have a few friends who are officials.
Ye Qian kept this secret so well that even the people in the dormitory didn't know about it. Of course, they didn't ask in detail. They only knew that Gu Jinyan was an official at first glance. After all, her temperament was there. But they didn't expect that he was the director of the Grain Bureau. This surprised the three of them. Now that this relationship was revealed, anyone who wanted to trick her in Han City would have to think twice.
Ye Qian kept smiling as she spoke. Professor Xiao took a sip of water from the cup, then put it down before getting down to business: "It's like this. Zhiguo did work in a film studio, but since it's open now, he wanted to try it himself. You happened to have such great resources, so I recommended you."
"It's business, the professor isn't sincere." Ye Qian said, then took a sip of water from her cup, smiled, and put it down again. Ye Qian had also noticed this; these two people were probably just trying to test her and lower the price.
If it was produced by a film studio, she would not get any copyright fees, at most she would get some money and some bonuses. But if it was privately owned, it would be different, this is all they would earn. This person really knows how to save money. Since there must be a contract to discuss these things, once she signs the contract, even if she knows about the matter, she can't do anything if this person doesn't admit it, after all, the contract is there.
Ye Qian felt that Professor Xiao was not honest and must have received kickbacks or wanted to do something, but she could not refuse directly. After all, the next three of her students would have to study under Professor Xiao. Although he had Gu Jinyan's protection, he really could not do anything about some of the disgusting little actions.
Since that was the case, Ye Qian didn't hesitate. Since she couldn't refuse outright, she decided to let them back down and offered harsh conditions: "It's not that I can't sell the copyright, but I do have conditions. I originally planned to shoot the film myself, so I want to write and direct this novel myself. Then I can sell you the copyright to the novel, but this copyright has a time limit of 5 years. If you don't shoot the film within these 5 years, I will sell it to someone else when the copyright expires. You can't interfere. Anyway, we have to sign a contract by then, and there's more."
Zhao Zhiguo couldn't sit still and asked, "Is there anything else?"
"Well, I want a commission from the box office after the release." Ye Qian said as a matter of course. Professor Xiao looked at Ye Qian and continued to ask, "Anything else?"
"Yes, I came here sincerely to talk, but who knew you would do this? This is the second female lead I brought with me." After Ye Qian finished speaking, even He Jun was quite surprised. "Me?" He Jun asked, "The second female lead."
"Yes." Ye Qian said and looked at the two people in front of her, "Even if you don't shoot it, I will shoot it myself after graduation. At that time, I will invest it myself and make the money by myself." After saying this, she made an expression as if she was helpless to let you share the money.
But Ye Qian felt that this was not excessive. If she had not been smart, she might have been cheated. Who could she turn to for justice then? As for selling the copyright for 5 years, wouldn't it be the same in the future? I can sell it to you for a lifetime, and you can't buy it for so long. What's the point of one company shooting over and over again? They always have to switch to another company to remake it.
Professor Xiao thought about it and felt that it was okay. He didn't mean to cheat Ye Qian. It was just that the country subsidized him a lot of money after she was sent back from the countryside, and he also wanted to invest in this movie. If he invested, it would cost almost all of his fortune, so he did not do a good job in this matter, and it was no wonder that Ye Qian was angry.
He chose Ye Qian because the stalls she opened last semester were doing very well. People like her are ambitious and know how to seize opportunities, so he would be relieved if they could become partners. However, regarding the professional aspect, the professor paused: "You have only studied for one semester. Do you know how to use the camera? What about the angle..."
"I'm the chief director. How can a chief director shoot with a camera? I wrote this novel myself. No one knows the effect better than me. Don't worry about the camera. Since you came to me, I naturally have someone. Find someone to adapt the novel into a script. I'll take a look at it when the time comes. If there's no problem, we can talk about other things."
Ye Qian's words meant she agreed. Zhao Zhiguo took a long time to come to terms with what she said. It was only after Professor Xiao reminded him that he finally understood. He immediately shook hands with Ye Qian and said, "I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation."
"Less tricks, more sincerity, and we'll have a very pleasant cooperation." He smiled at the two of them and said, "It's getting late, we should leave first. Let's find someone to change the script as soon as possible."
"Okay, we'll do it as soon as possible." After saying that, Ye Qian took He Jun and left.
Zhao Zhiguo was still a little unsure and asked Professor Xiao, "Brother Xiao, is this okay? She's asking for so many conditions. Can we make money?"
Professor Xiao looked at Zhao Zhiguo and shook his head. "You, although her conditions are many, they are not excessive. She is just protecting her own interests. At most, she just stuffed an actor in. You should quickly find someone to start the business. Filming will start soon. Have you found the investment yet?"
"We're almost done with the negotiations. We weren't sure about it before, so we didn't dare to give a definite answer. Now that this side is confirmed, we can quickly confirm the investment amount with the other side."
Professor Xiao nodded: "Well, you go first."
After Zhao Zhiguo left, Professor Xiao sat in his seat and pondered for a moment. Ye Qian was indeed intelligent, and she was proud to have such a student. She was sure her future would be bright. In fact, it was Professor Xiao who had approached Zhao Zhiguo from the beginning. It wasn't convenient for a professor like him to handle these tasks, so it would be much easier if he had someone to stand in front of him.
So this matter has nothing to do with Zhao Zhiguo. The one who made the decision is Professor Xiao, he is the boss.
This way.
Ye Qian took He Jun away and headed towards the school. He Jun was still a little stunned. Ye Qian was a little amused, "What's wrong with you?"
