I'm the man behind the big stars

Chapter 6 High Price Screenplay
It was already two o'clock in the afternoon when Lu Chen came to the Dreamland.

Today is the weekend, although the director said that he is going to work, but in fact there is no one in the company.

Compared with Shengying Media's single-family office building, the office area on the first floor of Dreamland is relatively small.

Of course, whether the business is running well or not is not entirely related to the size of the office area, and according to Lu Chen's knowledge, Dreamland is not much worse than Shengying in terms of film and television dramas, but Shengying's management The scope of business is relatively broad.

After Lu Chen came to the front desk of the Dreamland office building, he saw someone chatting and laughing with the young girl at the front desk. Lu Chen was embarrassed to disturb him, so he stood aside and waited for a while.

The girl at the front desk saw Lu Chen standing aside, so she asked, "Sir, who are you looking for?"

Lu Chen replied, "I'm looking for the director of your planning department."

Hearing his answer, the girl at the front desk smiled slightly, raised her right hand and pointed at the man beside Lu Chen.

"This is it."

Lu Chen and the man on the side turned their heads to look at each other at the same time, and both sides looked at each other.

It's a little different from Lu Chen's imagination. The director of the Dreamland Planning Department seems to be younger, at most 27 or [-] years old.

Cheng Ming asked politely, "Are you Chenlu?"

Lu Chen replied, "Yes."

Hearing this answer, Cheng Ming stretched out his right hand.

"Hello, I am the director of the planning department, and my name is Cheng Ming."

Lu Chen also reached out and shook his hand.

"Hello."

"Then let's talk somewhere else."

Later, Cheng Ming brought Lu Chen to his office.

After Lu Chen entered the office, he took a look at the entire office. The office was relatively simple and ordinary, and it was completely incomparable with the director's office of Shengying Media.

Cheng Ming picked up a water glass, went to the water dispenser and poured Lu Chen a glass of warm water, then asked, "What's Mr. Chen Lu's name?"

"The morning of the road, the road of the road, the morning of the morning."

After asking the name, Cheng Ming went straight to the point, and said, "That's it, Mr. Lu Chen, we plan to buy the script of "The Unruly Princess"."

Hearing that someone bought a script, Lu Chen immediately became more refreshed. He doesn't care what the market is like now, he needs to accumulate a certain amount of capital before he gets the money, but what about the price?

Although he was very excited, Lu Chen asked calmly: "Basically 60.00% of the TV dramas on the market today are comedies. I heard from many companies that the comedy market is basically saturated. Why did your company take a fancy to "The Dirty Princess?" "This script? My script is also a kind of happy comedy."

Cheng Ming took a sip of water, and then replied with a smile on his face: "It is true that as you said, the market for happy comedies is basically saturated, but there will always be a market for excellent happy comedies."

"In my opinion, your "The Unruly Princess" is an excellent happy comedy."

Speaking of this, Cheng Ming looked directly at Lu Chen and asked, "Also, Mr. Lu, why don't you guess, what is my favorite part of this drama?"

Lu Chen frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and replied, "Character creation?"

Cheng Ming shook his head, then picked up the script in front of him and glanced at it.

"Although part of this is the reason, what I like most is the overhead world in which this story takes place."

"The current market is basically full of modern comedies. People are tired of it, but if you change to an overhead world, it will give the audience a different look and feel."

Hearing the last sentence, Lu Chen understood in an instant. He was worried about the unacceptable culture at first, but he forgot that human beings are animals with a psychology of curiosity.

The subject matter of this world is badly filmed, and of course people want to see a different world.

In this way, the market for historical dramas on Earth may still be huge.

"By the way, Mr. Lu, did you create this script yourself?" Cheng Ming asked.

Lu Chen came back to his senses, and replied with a smile, "Yes."

"May I ask in advance how many episodes this show has?"

"33 episodes."

After listening to Lu Chen's answer, Cheng Ming dragged his chin with his right hand and bowed his head in thought for a moment, then continued: "Well, we will buy your script for [-] episodes."

fifty thousand?

Hearing the price, Lu Chen was stunned, not because it was too low, but because the price was too high for ordinary TV drama scripts.

He had inquired about the price of happy comedies before, and the scripts for happy comedies written by well-known screenwriters in the circle are only about [-] yuan, and the scripts that are usually slightly better are only [-] episodes, and [-] episodes is the price. normal.

Dreamland actually gave him such a high price, but in this way, they really value this script.

Seeing that Lu Chen seemed a little hesitant, Cheng Ming thought the price he quoted was too low, so he said again: "Mr. Lu, [-] episodes is the maximum price I can give. If it is higher, I'm afraid I won't be able to pass the review. You I also know that nowadays, the salary of actors can easily reach tens of millions, and we can only deduct points from the script or other aspects."

Lu Chen thought for a while and said, "I want to think about it first."

Since this script is favored by so many companies, maybe its price can be raised. Lu Chen will not bargain, but he still wants to sell this script at the most expensive price.

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Cheng Ming had an ominous premonition in his heart, because many people said this, and there was basically no follow-up.

Although he did have reservations about the bid, if the price of this kind of comedy is higher, the company's senior management will probably not agree. His rights as the director have shrunk. Sometimes, no matter how good the script is, he can't help it. buy it.

No way, Cheng Ming had no choice but to say politely: "This is my phone number. If you think about it, you can call me. We welcome you at any time. As for the price, if your price increase is not very high, I can Apply to see above."

Lu Chen stood up and took the business card from Cheng Ming.

"Okay, I'll call you then."

"Then I won't send it."

"Ah."

Then Lu Chen left the Dreamland and returned to the place where he lived.

After he went back, he turned on his phone and saw that there were a lot of text messages on it, all of which were companies that wanted to buy the script of "The Unruly Princess". Lu Chen thought about it, added all the contact information in those text messages, and then took the opportunity to ask those The highest price offered by the company.

Seeing Lu Chen looking at his phone on the sofa and giggling non-stop, Shi Yin asked, "Where did you go this afternoon? You kept giggling when you came back?"

Lu Chen thought for a while and replied, "I didn't go anywhere."

Although Shi Yin came from the mountains, Lu Chen admired her spirit of walking out of the mountains, but judging by her attire and the choice of residence, she knew that she was a gold digger. She didn't have the spending power but wanted high quality life.

But she can't let her know that the script she wrote is so valuable, if this guy relies on her in the future, she will be in trouble.

"By the way, are you going to Shengying to participate in the idol selection tomorrow?" Lu Chen asked.

Hearing this question, Shi Yin brushed her hair and said triumphantly, "Yes!"

"If you want to sign it, hurry up! You won't have this chance when Miss Ben becomes famous in the future."
