Didn't you say that we would lose money after filming?

Chapter 84 Message Rejection
Originally, Xia Yuan was thinking of starting "New Sea Fortress" directly after finishing "Let the Bullets Fly". The company's current funds and conditions are already sufficient to shoot this kind of science fiction work.

Xia Yuan has been in the industry for a while now, but he has never worked on a real big production like this. It is absolutely impossible for him to say that he is not itching to do something.

If you don't want to be Cao Pi, why are you taking a bath? Similarly, if you don't want to make big productions, why are you being a director? He might as well go home and fish on the boat that he has loaned out for twenty years.

Alas, it’s such a pity to waste such a good script.

But it doesn't matter. He just lost a script. He owns a database of other worlds. There are so many works in other worlds that he will never worry about not having works to shoot. He can just find a science fiction book when the time comes.

Xia Yuan returned to his home and took out his cell phone.

After receiving instructions from the senior, the next thing to do is to talk to Huang Jingyuan about the script.

When he opened the message, he saw that in just a short while, Huang Jingyuan had left him a message with a 99+.

In other words, he set the Do Not Disturb mode, otherwise the notification sound alone would be annoying.

"Good boy, you are so persistent." Xia Yuan was stunned.

When he clicked on it, he saw the message that Huang Jingyuan didn't want to give up and wanted to discuss it with him.

20:35
Notes-Huang Jingwo: "Xia Yuan, Brother Yuan, please."

Huang Jing said to me: "Everything can be discussed, right? I know you must have the script in your hand. We are all brothers. Don't fool me, okay?"

Huang Jing said to me: "Really, you can name any price you want. I will definitely give you more than the market price."

Huang Jingwo: "How about this, 1000 million!"

20:56
Huang Jingwo said, "I know that some unpleasant things happened before. I was ignorant and caused you some trouble, but now I have reflected on it. I hope you can be more magnanimous and not care about those little things, okay?"

21:24
Huang Jingwo: "1500 million, after tax!"

Huang Jingwo: "If you are not satisfied with the price, we can raise it further."

21:54
Huang Jingwo: "After you see it, or if you are not busy, you can give me an answer. If not, 2000 million will be fine."

Xia Yuan looked at the dense messages on his phone and took a breath.

Wow, I have to say, this Huang Jingyuan is really persistent, and it can be seen that this guy is really rich. In just a short while, he has already raised the price to 2000 million.

You know, in this industry, although some good scripts are actually valuable, they are not valuable to this extent.

2000 million, this is much higher than the market price of a generally good script.

If you simply go out and buy a script, you will definitely not be able to get this price, even if it is a script written by some well-known screenwriter.

Unless some bosses specially customize it, they can reach this price.

I have to say, it can be seen that Huang Jingyuan is really anxious.

Xia Yuan edited a reply message to Huang Jingyuan.

Xia Yuan: "Let's talk about it in detail."

Ding-dong-

Very quickly, almost instantly, a new message came from the other side.

It's like a dog waiting in front of the screen for the goddess' reply.

Huang Jing wooed me: "Xia Yuan, do you agree? Hahahaha good! We'll discuss it in detail right away, and I'll definitely give you a satisfactory reward!"

What follows is a long list of details about purchase intent.

The speed of his response and his attentive attitude were completely different from the Huang Jingyuan of the past.

Huang Jingyuan used to have such an attitude. Not to mention replying, he couldn't even be found. When he was working on his graduation project, Xia Yuan sent him ten messages but he didn't reply to any of them, which really annoyed Xia Yuan.

All we can say is that the offensive and defensive situations are different.

The following time was spent in a tug-of-war between Xia Yuan and Huang Jingyuan over the details of purchasing the script.

Xia Yuan expressed that he did have a script to sell, which was "New Sea Fortress", a science fiction film.

On the other side, Huang Jingyuan was surprised but sneered in his heart.

That's right, it's a sneer.

At this moment, at the same time, Huang Jingyuan, who had just returned home, was looking at his mobile phone with a contemptuous expression on his face.

Sure enough, he was right, Xia Yuan did have a script in his hand.

This guy wanted to hide his incompetence, but how could he hide it from his eyes? After a lot of bombardment and trying to gain sympathy, it really worked and he gave in.

Xia Yuan must be very proud now, right? Seeing him show weakness and being called "brother" a few times, he must be feeling very proud, right?
And sure enough, he got it straight away, and it turned out that he did have the script in his hand.

But little did he know that all this was just his plan. If the current situation was not really unfavorable to him, he would not have acted like this.

But for the sake of his future career, he still had to hold his nose and call Xia Yuan "brother".

This made him feel insulted.

He never felt that Xia Yuan was someone who could be put on the same level as himself, and it had been like this since college. Now he could only endure it and scream in disgust.

However, he just needs to endure this period of time. As long as he can truly make a work that changes word of mouth, he can truly make a comeback!

By then, everything he has lost will be returned. In addition, with his family's foundation, some resources will reappear in his world. With a smooth future, won't he be able to go further than Xia Yuan?

What does Xia Yuan have? He is just proud of himself now, and his company is just an unknown new company in the industry.

But this circle is actually always controlled by a small group of people.

Just because Xia Yuan can be arrogant now doesn’t mean he will always be arrogant in the future. Once he fails, it will definitely not be easy for him to get back on his feet.

How does it look like him?
"Xia Yuan, Xia Yuan, you are still too young." Huang Jingyuan sneered.

But soon, news from Xia Yuan came.

No matter how angry Huang Jingyuan was, he still said honestly: "Brother Yuan! You are right! Brother Yuan! You are absolutely right!"

What? Showing weakness to Xia Yuan?
That doesn't exist. The word "brother" was not actually referring to Xia Yuan, but to his future and future prospects.

He was just using Xia Yuan, but he didn't bow to Xia Yuan!

Well, yes, that’s it!

Forbearance! ! !

Soon, his tactics of flattery and paralysis worked, and the two sides had successfully reached an agreement. Xia Yuan would buy him a script called "New Sea Fortress" for 3420 million.

The price shouldn’t be so high. In fact, the price line stopped at 2420 million.

But Huang Jingyuan added an additional 1000 million.

It's not that he was being taken advantage of, it's just that he simply paid the extra 1000 million just to buy a title.

What was purchased was the right to be named, as well as Xia Yuan's right to share in the screenwriter's profits.

Screenwriters are generally eligible for dividends, which usually range from 1,100 to 120, depending on the status of the screenwriter himself.

Since he wants to make a comeback, he will definitely print his own name on such a good script. When you buy a script, you can buy the right to be credited. This is also an unspoken rule in the circle. Although it cannot be mentioned openly, it actually counts for a lot.

Since he and Xia Yuan were so at odds, how could he possibly leave Xia Yuan the right to share in the profits? Let him share the money?
Then keep the copyright, and when the movie sells well, let people know that it was Xia Yuan's script?

When he thought about the time when the movie became a big hit, everyone would say, "Oh, this is Xia Yuan's script." He, Huang Jingyuan, was ultimately not as good as Xia Yuan, and would have to rely on Xia Yuan's script to make a comeback.

The thought of this scene made him feel uncomfortable all over.

This situation must not happen!
Therefore, the right to authorship and the right to dividends must not belong to Xia Yuan!

Although the price was increased by 1000 million, the 3420 million had already emptied his family's assets, and he even had to sell his current house to raise the total amount.

But it's worth it.

"Ha, laugh. After this time, everyone will recognize you." Huang Jingyuan sneered.

He felt that he had made an extremely wise decision and had crushed Xia Yuan with his high IQ.

For those who are praised by others and become high on the sky, their future will be just like that. They are just a little luckier now, but luck will disappear sooner or later.

Even if you happen to write a good script that is recognized by the market, how much can you produce? Can you guarantee that you will only write good scripts throughout your life?
This is impossible and illogical.

Therefore, the number of good scripts Xia Yuan has must be getting fewer and fewer.

His creativity is still there, but it will definitely get worse every year.

Oh, "New Sea Fortress", what a wonderful name, the name alone can reveal the flavor of a blockbuster movie, and from the chat, Xia Yuan's unwilling look of begging for money through the screen, it can be imagined that even Xia Yuan values ​​this script very much.

This time, he is stable!

He will return to this circle and use this as an opportunity to reach the top one day!
People like Xia Yuan are nothing!
On the other side, as for Xia Yuan, after everything was discussed, he had also gotten rid of "New Sea Fortress".

It can be seen that Huang Jingyuan is quite rich, as he is willing to spend an extra 1000 million to buy the right to authorship.

This also shows that there is actually a big gap between Xia Yuan and these classmates.

But no matter how regretful he was, he had sold it anyway.

Time passed quietly again, and Xia Yuan returned to the crew and began busy filming.

Then the other side was not idle either. They started to busy themselves with Huang Jingyuan in buying scripts and going through the process.

However, just when everything was finalized, and in the following few days, with the signing of the contract and the arrival of the payment, one day, Xia Yuan suddenly remembered something and was about to send a message to Huang Jingyuan to explain the situation.

He typed a long line of words: "One more thing, there are actually two problems in this script that you need to pay attention to. These are problems that must not be made. There are also a few places where the plot needs to be changed. Let me tell you about them."

Xia Yuan typed a series of messages that were as long as a short essay.

But before he could send it, a red exclamation mark appeared.

The message was rejected.
