Freelance Artist Chapter 55

Chapter 55 The Power of the Nightless Marquis (Second Update)

Jiang Cheng put down his phone and waved his fist excitedly.

Jiangcheng in reality is far from as calm as he appeared on the phone.

When he was on the phone, he was even more nervous than Zhao Lei.

The boss explained:

This script must cooperate with Shinhwa Entertainment, and it can only be handed over to the boss's father to shoot.

This is Jiang Cheng's task.

Fortunately, Zhao Lei took the bait.

Jiang Cheng is sure of this.

Zhao Lei's urgency and desire for the script can be felt through the phone.

But Jiang Cheng wasn't too surprised. He also finished reading the script of "Hurricane" overnight yesterday.

Even a layman like Jiangcheng thinks this story is very exciting!

My own boss is really terrible!

Actually wrote a script that Shinhwa Entertainment couldn't refuse!

As for what Jiang Cheng said on the phone before, was he going to show the script to Nathan and Tian Guang?

Of course it is a pretense.

This is just a bait to lure Zhao Lei into the bait.

Without further delay, Jiang Cheng drove directly to the private restaurant that he had made an appointment with Zhao Lei.

Half an hour later.

A certain box.

The two officially met.

"Jiangcheng."

"Zhao Lei."

The two looked at each other and exchanged polite greetings.

Jiangcheng took out a brand new business card that had been printed recently and handed it to the other party, and introduced it again:

"Our Kunpeng Investment is a new company."

Zhao Lei tentatively said: "Then Teacher Buyehou and you..."

Jiang Cheng half-truth said: "Mr. Buyehou is one of our shareholders of Kunpeng Investment. He has completely entrusted me to communicate with the partner for this script. Mr. Zhao also knows that Mr. Buyehou is a writer. Writers usually I don't like dealing with people."

"So it is."

Bu Yehou turned out to be one of the shareholders of Kunpeng Investment.

Zhao Lei frowned unobtrusively, so that he could not bypass Kunpeng Investment and cooperate with Buyehou.

"What are Representative Jiang's thoughts on the script?"

"We are an investment company, of course we want to participate in the investment."

"How much to invest?"

"How much do you think the shooting cost of this drama will be?"

"No more than one hundred million."

Zhao Lei has considered this issue before.

This drama does not require any special effects, and there are no particularly exaggerated scenes. Including the announcement, the investment must not exceed 100 million.

"How specific?"

Jiangcheng ate a mouthful of peanuts.

Zhao Lei thought for a while and said, "My gross estimate is about 70 million."

Jiangcheng poured Zhao Lei a glass of wine, and then directly started to quote: "I don't like to go round and round. Kunpeng can invest 10 million yuan in this drama, and the requirement is to get 50% of the proceeds."

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Zhao Lei's face was a bit ugly and said: "You only invest 10 million, and you want 50% of the return. Does Representative Jiang think it is realistic?"

"Let's just assume that the total investment of this drama is 70 million."

Jiang Cheng said: "I invested 10 million yuan, and the script I provided is worth 25 million yuan. It shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"Take the script for 25 million?"

Zhao Lei shook his head vigorously: "This is the script price that can only be sold by top screenwriters in the industry, and Mr. Bu Yehou is just a newcomer."

"Then let me ask you."

Jiangcheng invited the other party to raise his glass: "Do you think Mr. Bu Yehou's script is worse than those of top screenwriters?"

"It's hard to say."

Zhao Lei clinked glasses with the opponent and drank it down in one gulp, avoiding this problem.

Because the answer is obvious, the quality of this script is no worse than the works of top TV screenwriters.

He can only analyze the negotiation from another angle: "I just said that the cost is about 70 million, but Representative Jiang can't really think that our cost is 70 million, because this is the internal price of Shinhwa Entertainment, the venue, the actors, and the director. Ah, later announcements, etc., etc., these are the internal prices of our mythology..."

Between toasts and chips.

The two of them argued in various ways.

After finishing half a bottle of white wine, Zhao Lei patted the table and said, "Representative Jiang came to cooperate with a script after all, so I will invest 10 million yuan, and I will give you 30% of the proceeds. This is my bottom line." Already!"

This is indeed Zhao Lei's bottom line.

In fact, if the quality of the script was not really good, and he was afraid that such a good script would fall into the hands of Nathan or Tianguang, it would be impossible for Zhao Lei to agree to this condition.

The heat is almost ready.

Jiang Cheng's eyes flickered slightly, but on the surface he continued to pretend to be embarrassed, even though he had accepted the result in his heart.

After a long silence.

Jiang Cheng suddenly said, "Tell me which actors and directors are going to be in this show?"

Zhao Lei saw that the other party's attitude was loose, and he was secretly happy: “This can't be decided now. The actors have to let the director audition first. Of course, Teacher Wuyehou can also come to audition actors. We fully respect the opinions of the screenwriter teacher.”

"Who is the director?"

Jiang Cheng asked calmly, this is the meat part of today.

Zhao Lei waved his hand and said: "Representative Jiang, don't worry, I will definitely arrange the best TV director from Shinhwa Entertainment to shoot this drama!"

"Is such that."

Jiang Chengdao: "Mr. Buyehou won't dictate to the filming of Shinhwa, and he's not interested in such things, but he personally has a TV drama director whom he admires very much."

"no…"

Zhao Lei couldn't laugh or cry: "Representative Jiang may not know much about the situation in our TV industry. Usually only the top screenwriters are qualified to appoint a director. Mr. Buyehou still..."

"Producer Zhao Da!"

Jiang Cheng raised his voice slightly: "Mr. Buyehou is here and our Kunpeng is a top screenwriter. You agree to this, and we can sign the contract tomorrow."

"Really?"

"Naturally."

"Who is the director that Mr. Buyehou admires so much?" Zhao Lei stared at Jiang Cheng: "This film needs an experienced director to shoot, and it cannot be handled by just finding a tool."

"His name is Lin Dong."

Jiang Cheng smiled and said.

Zhao Lei's expression changed slightly.

As a big-name producer of Shinhwa Entertainment, he naturally knows who Lin Dong is.

Things are a bit troublesome, why is the director whom Bu Yehou admires is Lin Dong?

Of course there is nothing wrong with Lin Dong's abilities, and he has indeed had experience in filming gangster films, but the minister may be unhappy...

"Does it have to be Lin Dong?"

Zhao Lei sighed: "Let me tell you the truth, our boss doesn't like director Lin Dong very much, he might not agree to this matter, or should we change to a director?"

"no way."

Jiang Cheng shrugged.

"Who made this the only request made by our teacher Bu Yehou? I still say that, if you agree to this matter, we can sign the contract."

Zhao Lei was silent.

After a while.

Zhao Lei raised his glass suddenly, drank another glass of wine, and then said with a smile: "Then let director Lin Dong do the filming. I will personally serve as the producer to **** him. Later, I will ask someone to draw up a contract. I will bring a lawyer tomorrow." , we officially signed the contract!"

paused.

Zhao Lei smiled and said: "I also agreed to personally appoint a director. This is usually the right of top screenwriters. I believe that Representative Jiang has seen my sincerity. I also hope that Teacher Buyehou will see my sincerity. I am Said that there is an opportunity to continue to cooperate in the future.”

This script is great!

It's so good that Zhao Lei thinks that Bu Yehou's next script should be worth looking forward to and investing in!

Although Buyehou is still a newcomer, if he waits for the other party to become popular before posting it, it will be just icing on the cake. Besides, even if the other party disappears in the future, this little concession now is actually harmless.

"That's probably the way it is. Thirty percent of the income should be the limit he can accept. However, boss, your father doesn't seem to be in a good situation in the company."

night.

Jiangcheng called.

Report today's events to Lin Zhibai in detail.

Lin Zhibai said softly: "So I asked you to find Zhao Lei, the third in command of the production department. The most important thing is that his uncle is called Zhao Wei. This is an old man who fought with the old man back then, so others are afraid of me. Uncle Er is not afraid."

Jiang Cheng smiled.

The internal relationship of this mythological entertainment cannot be found from the outside.

It's no wonder that Zhao Leiming still dared to appoint Lin Dong as the director knowing that the department boss was unhappy.

Zhao Lei never imagined:

Jiang Cheng knew his details not because of how powerful he was.

All information about Zhao Lei was provided by Lin Zhibai, who made his boss surnamed Lin?

"Then I will sign a contract with him tomorrow?"

"Um."

Lin Zhibai accepted a 30% profit return, which is a good result.

Zhao Lei is Lin Zhibai's carefully chosen target.

Lin Zhibai wanted this man to **** his father's career and withstand the pressure from his second uncle.

As for how to make Zhao Lei obedient?

Then give him more Cyclonus.

According to the rules set by the old man, the performance of Shinhwa Entertainment is king.

When a person like Zhao Lei has achievements, he may not dare to shoot the table with his second uncle who is also the head of production.

"Then what is our next plan?"

Jiangcheng's attitude is very respectful. After taking down Zhao Lei with "Hurricane", he is now more and more obedient to his boss!

"I'll send you a file."

Lin Zhibai directly sent the variety show planning case of "I Am a Singer" to Jiang Cheng.

Phew.

Jiang Cheng opened the document after receiving it, and couldn't help but read out:

"I am a singer variety show planning case?"

Variety show?

Proposal?

Jiang Cheng felt that his head was overloaded, and asked subconsciously:

"Is this variety show plan written by the boss?"

"Brother Cheng."

Lin Zhibai said seriously: "As the youngest son of the Lin family of Shinhwa Group, it should be a very reasonable and logical thing for me to be able to write variety show planning proposals?"

Jiangcheng was at a loss.

Dazed and a little confused.

With a little thought in his bewilderment.

This is very familiar, where have I heard it?

Of course there is no problem with the logic. Shinhwa Group started from the entertainment industry. Lin Zhaomu, the helmsman, bought a TV station many years ago.

But the question is:

Assuming that a person can write a book, you will definitely think that this person is very powerful.

Assuming that a person can write both books and songs, you will definitely think that this person is a genius.

Assuming that a person can write both books, songs and scripts, you will definitely think that this person is a monster.

Assuming that a person can write books, songs, scripts, and even plan variety shows, you will definitely feel that something is wrong with this person.

Things are getting outrageous.

Jiangcheng now feels that something is wrong with his boss.

"Boss, I have a question."

"Are you worried about the quality of this variety show plan?"

"Boss, you misunderstood. Compared with worrying about the quality of this plan, I am more curious about what else you can't do?"

Jiang Cheng asked for advice sincerely.

Lin Zhibai mercifully told him—

"Having a baby."
