Chapter 182 The Second Villain Sister Appears
"Sister, you deserve to be enshrined in the Imperial Temple. You are definitely the ceiling of the Boss Temple! I love you, I love you so much. Come on, come on, give me some incense..."
Bai Wei, who has become a veteran of the company and the head of the screenwriter department, brought several new screenwriters to the island. When he saw Ye Mengyu, he hugged and kissed her.
The copyright acquisition went incredibly smoothly. Because of the subject matter, there was virtually no chance of selling the rights. When someone inquired about the rights, the platform was completely bewildered. Then, upon seeing it was Mengzhu Entertainment asking for the price, they immediately spread the word, hoping for a bid. It was all the same old tricks. And the asking price was exorbitant.
Xiao Qi saw that she was playing the same trick. She went directly to the author, because the copyright belonged to the author and the platform was the agent. The author signed a profit-sharing contract and only received the base price of 100,000 yuan. The platform only took 20,000 yuan in agency fees and got nothing else.
Ye Ji got the news that Xiao Qi had signed the copyright himself. He looked for the original text and was very confused. There was really no possibility of adaptation and it would not pass the review.
What is this for?
When Bai Wei forced six or seven screenwriters to go to the island with great fanfare and gave an interview at the airport, saying that she was going to the island to write the script behind closed doors, all kinds of rumors were flying around.
Everyone is guessing how this subject matter will be changed.
Even the previous movie cakes are not as delicious as before.
Especially after Meng Zhu officially announced and released the pregnancy videos on the short video platform, the rumors were self-defeating.
Many people believe that this series of operations are all Mengzhu's self-promotion. With such a hype, it is very likely that Ye Mengyu will not participate. If she participated, there would be no need for hype.
All the attention suddenly shifted to the new cake.
The screenwriters are also happy. Working on the island, their free time is like a vacation. Everything is paid for by the boss, and they eat and live at the boss's house. Of course, the island is the boss's own, with a variety of rooms to choose from. The beach is always accessible and has beautiful scenery with few crowds. There is also all-you-can-eat seafood, cooked by the chefs, and a daily buffet for employees, comparable to a five-star hotel.
Not to mention yachts, motorboats, fishing boats, and various entertainment facilities for you to enjoy.
Where can I find such a comfortable creative environment?
Absolutely.
It doesn't matter to them whether it's a long script, a movie or a short play.
It's all work.
It doesn't delay getting your salary.
Although Mengzhu no longer signs new artists, it continues to recruit screenwriters and directors.
Especially screenwriters, new people are signed every year.
Because this is a short play, Wang Wei brought all newcomers, and the oldest one has only been in the company for two years.
The focus of this script adaptation is how to change the parts that previously changed history.
In the original novel, the male protagonist eventually became a member of a powerful family, but this is not acceptable.
It must be changed into a small force that does not affect the course of history.
It also has to be reasonable and have the ability to help those you want to help.
No historical figures can appear.
All the extraneous plots in the original text were removed, logical bugs were removed, and some spy-related plots that would give people an adrenaline rush were added.
That's about it.
It sounds simple and doesn’t sound like much, but it is not that easy to put into practice.
We have meetings every day and everyone discusses, discusses, and discusses together.
Every draft is reviewed and revised repeatedly.
Suddenly one day someone has an inspiration and comes up with a new plot, and we have to add it in.
Sometimes, after adding everything, I feel it is redundant and delete it.
The final version of the script will definitely be decided by the team leader, but everyone has the right to sign it.
Money is distributed according to work. Whoever uses more original memes gets more.
If it’s not original, just split it equally.
This is the system, and those who participate will get money.
As a newcomer, he was not buried after his comeback and was even given a credit, which is already the ceiling treatment in the industry.
"Haha, I'm not surprised at all. I'm already at the end of my strength, yet you still spend such a huge price to plot against me. That's good."
When the investigation results came out, Ye Mengyu laughed. It was really not surprising at all.
Zhou Xuran, after following the trend and making quick money for a few years, she can no longer concentrate on making a good play. She is anxious to make money. Without money, how can she compete with Ye Mengyu?
Xia Shu's family was powerful, and he had no shortage of resources or money. However, his financial security was sufficient to ensure he had enough food and clothing, and even a life that ordinary people could only dream of. However, he didn't have much money to spend, not even three or four hundred million.
How does this compare to Ye Mengyu?
Fu Yao is rich, but what he can give to Zhou Xuran is limited, and she has no say in the company.
She wanted to invest and make money, but the environment was like that, and she had limited capital. Even if she could get 100% profit, how much could she earn? Besides, where could she find a legitimate industry with 100% profit?
The entertainment industry has become the most profitable industry.
She simply can't concentrate on doing one or two dramas a year and keep doing it for a long time.
She always follows the trend. She shoots whatever Mengzhu Entertainment shoots, and she shoots whatever hit drama becomes popular.
Then spend a lot of money on marketing to create the effect of a hit drama.
Then use the fake data to deceive investors for the next drama.
The company was also exploiting people too much and couldn't retain them. After finally training someone, they would be poached by Ye Mengyu right away.
It’s useless to set the penalty too high, you can still sue.
Those who can't leave will be put on ice and become useless.
She also kept most of the resources for herself, took on dozens of business deals, and was unwilling to share the money with others.
It would be strange if the company didn’t go downhill over time!
"Then there's no need to keep it around. It's been long enough. There's no need to keep it around and annoy people. Don't worry about it. I'll have someone report her company's financial situation.
Everyone, please be safe until we get her in."
The second sister made the final decision.
As a villain, you have to do what a villain should do.
