Chapter 90: Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back
"Forget about variety shows. It's impossible for me to say I won't make an official announcement and then participate in a dating variety show. That would be a slap in the face. But if there are other variety shows that I can participate in alone, I'd still consider it. Just set the price. My first variety show after officially announcing my identity as the richest woman's daughter, isn't it worth 200 million?"
Hehe, Ye Mengyu planned happily that if she could get 200 million yuan, then she wouldn't have to touch her small treasury for the TV series project.
"Come on, forget it. The show hired you, not just for the gimmick, but also to attract sponsorship. You still want 200 million? I risked my reputation to help secure a title sponsor for you to bring in money, and the fact that you were able to get 100 million was an exceptional performance on my part. What's the value of their 500 million being willing to pay? Don't you have any idea?"
Sister Luan thought to herself that she had to talk to Ms. Ye and Li Lei. Ms. Ye could talk to Mr. Zhou, and Li Lei could talk to Mr. Jiang.
For large companies, the annual marketing expenses start from billions, so sponsoring a program shouldn't be a problem. It doesn't matter what they sponsor.
If you have a big brand sponsor, there is still a lot of room for negotiation on labor fees.
If you ask for a sky-high price, bargain reasonably.
Which celebrity team doesn’t operate this way?
"It'll take at least half a year to set up a crew anyway, and the scripts haven't even been chosen yet. Taking advantage of this downtime, riding on this wave of popularity, and making some quick bucks on variety shows makes perfect sense.
By the way, how are you getting the copyright for the female general's book? "
Ye Mengyu was almost determined to film the ancient novel about the female general.
"Yes, I've already contacted the website. I offered 500,000 yuan for the copyright, but the website wants 2 million. The author is so desperate that she's willing to sell it for 300,000 yuan. But the copyright is in the hands of the website, so she has no say. We're still bargaining."
That website is a jerk. They posted the price inquiry notice for the book right on the front page. It's like advertising. Trying to attract the attention of other companies and create a bidding war.
Just wait and see who can outlast whom.
An unknown author, not a big copyright website.
I'll have someone spread the word and contact a well-known author on a major website to obtain the copyright for the subject matter.
Have a reader base.
I'll see who gets anxious first."
Businessmen are businessmen. No matter whether they are short of a million or not, the price must be lowered.
Ye Mengyu also understood.
The book itself is not a new topic. It was a very popular book a few years ago.
The copyright had already been sold, and it trended two or three times a year, flirting with all the hottest stars. Today, this one got the male lead, tomorrow, that one got the female lead. There was nothing it wouldn't flirt with. Even Jiang Fanyu had been flirted with.
The latest trending search was last month, and the latest actress to be leaked was Zhou Xuran. This happened just two days after she and Meng Chao officially announced their relationship.
It's all just a pretense of crying wolf. A good book is almost ruined.
All the major websites have the same theme, and it’s also terrible.
There are also some excellent works of high quality.
An unknown little author really has no competitiveness at all.
The website is also crazy about copyright.
I dare to quote any price.
I thought it was a few years ago when the entertainment industry was booming and major film and television companies were desperately hoarding copyrights?
Short-sighted!
"Okay, you decide. There's no need for more than one million. There's no readership, the author's writing style is naive, and the rhythm isn't particularly good. We'll have to find a good screenwriter to revise it after we buy it. Good screenwriters are expensive. This money has to be included in the copyright costs..."
Works written by mature and famous old authors basically do not need to be revised. Just make some necessary adjustments and change the plots and content that the reviewer does not allow.
It's a job that can be done by a screenwriter.
Just find a recent college graduate, it won’t cost tens of thousands of dollars.
But this kind of work is immature, just good in plot. Finding a famous screenwriter to revise it would be very expensive. Without a few million, would they pay attention to you?
"I know. Didn't you read that fictional empress? I think the web series about her is pretty good, too. It's pure cool writing, and the heroine is so well-designed."
There's also the one about the good-for-nothing princess who saves her time-traveling royal sister. She's great and very entertaining. She also has a positive outlook. Personally, I like the good-for-nothing princess the most; her character is also very well-designed.
The story of the female general was too frustrating in the early stages. After she was reborn, the plot was a little off, and the excitement was not satisfactory, and the whole story fell apart.
This requires too high a level of screenwriter skills..."
After taking time out from her busy schedule, Sister Luan asked her assistant to sort out the outlines of several books sent by Ye Mengyu and read them all.
I have to say that Ye Mengyu's vision is really good. The stories she picked are all very interesting and have big conflicts. They have twists and turns, plots, and positive values. They don't skirt the line or flatter men. The pure and innocent heroines are engaged in their careers. They are cool and cool, and also suitable for adaptation.
Just one thing, the male lead is completely marginalized.
"Really? Sister, you think the books I picked are all pretty good, right? Look, it would be best if I could buy them all, and then stockpile them and slowly film them. Which company can buy the copyright and film them right away? After I buy this wave of copyrights, I will pick out a few period novels and contemporary novels. When I become famous, I will use them for my transformation."
Well……
"Okay, keep up that confidence. To be in the entertainment industry, you need to be thick-skinned."
Not a single drama has been filmed yet, and everyone is thinking about what drama to use to transition into the transition period after the ancient costume dramas are completed.
Should we say that she is thinking long-term, or is she overconfident?
Haven’t you seen those female traffic stars who always dream of transforming themselves into powerful actors, but none of them say a word.
As long as it's not an idol drama, fans can borrow money to transform it into an award-winning art masterpiece as soon as filming begins. Once it's released, well, each one is more idol-like than the other. The huge pit in the ratings is deeper than the hole in their idols' minds.
"How can this be confidence? Director Kong said I have talent and should go the Qingyi route. I'm doing this to make money and gain acting experience, plus to get some traffic so I can monetize it. Otherwise, I would have gone the Qingyi route directly."
In fact, Ye Mengyu himself did have some regrets in his heart.
This is because plans cannot keep pace with changes.
She prepared herself according to the black and red identity of the cannon fodder in the book, and took the path of whitewashing step by step.
I never thought that there would be any external help.
But now the fact is, the scumbag father's disclosure of his identity is the strongest support. Suddenly, the road became smooth.
I also signed a marriage contract with Jiang Fanyu. I didn't expect that he would fulfill it so seriously. He seemed to be a good partner and was willing to provide help.
Most importantly, Zhou Xuran's momentum was greatly reduced after this wave of attacks.
As one rises and one falls, the strength of the two men reverses.
She looked less cannon fodder.
She can totally put on a good attitude, bring money into the crew directly, start from the first or second female lead in the movie, and take the high-end route of a big Qingyi.
There is no need to start with homemade ancient costume dramas.
But what can I do?
The path I chose has already begun.
You have to keep going even if you have to kneel!
Just think of it as leading the company's future movie stars.
Yeah, yes, that's it!
The main thing is to have a good attitude.
