Chapter 590 The Most Expensive Script

"How is it? Have you thought about it clearly?" Lin Xiao asked Yao Ding, who looked at the tangled face with a smile and crossed his arms.

"Mr. Lin, you really have created a problem for me." Yao Ding put down the script and said with a wry smile.

"How can this be called a problem? I'll give you three scripts to choose from. Couldn't these three scripts satisfy Mr. Yao?" Lin Xiao pretended to be surprised.

"Of course not. It's just, eh, take this first script as an example. In our film market, it seems that period films rarely break out, so although the script is very good, it can be passed." Yao Ding said .

"The second script is in line with my wishes, but why do I need a third script. Mr. Lin, how about giving the last two to Tianhua?" Yao Ding said, looking at Lin sky.

"Mr. Yao, you can't be too greedy." Lin Xiao said flatly.

Although Yao Ding already knew that such a result would happen, he still had some extravagant hopes in his heart, but obviously, it was impossible.

"That should be the last one." Yao Ding finally made a decision.

Because he has no choice.

In fact, after making the decision, Yao Ding was relieved. In fact, if he chose the first two scripts, he might not be able to really solve the problem he is facing now.

But the last one, although the risk is high, but once successful, the benefits are immeasurable.

Maybe many film companies make movies to make money, but for a rich owner like Tianhua Films at this time, what they want most at present is not really to make money, but to want a piece of money. Better looking cards, instead of being teased all the time for paying tuition, people are stupid and have a lot of money.

Yao Ding chose the last one, but it was within Lin Xiao's expectation, because this was the one he had originally prepared for Yao Ding.

As far as Lin Xiao is concerned, he knows how capable he is. If he doesn't have a system, he is a dead fat man.

Maybe one day in the future, he will go abroad with a gun and go overseas for fun.

But now, the domestic market is so big, if you want to make money, why go far away?

There are also some domestic stars who want to become international superstars all day long, but in fact, if they really put soy sauce in the films made by foreigners, are they international superstars?Don't they have some alphabetic numbers in mind?
The script Lin Xiao took out is a relatively classic film in the system and in the dream world, but it is relatively early.

And this movie, for the current High Heaven Pavilion, may not be able to do well, but for Tianhua, there is still a chance.

Of course, the characters in the original script are all foreigners, but this one is easier to modify.

In the end, Lin Xiao changed the actor's identity from the former FBI to Interpol, so that it will be easier to speak clearly if he puts on a Chinese face.

Tianhua Films conference room.

"Manager Yao, it's not your money, so you don't feel bad at all, right? Last time, the $2 million project only recovered half of the cost, and this time it's another $1 million. You really don't care about Tianhua's money. Ah, our Tianhua is indeed not short of money, but it's not such a prodigal, now people outside say that our Tianhua is a fool with a lot of money." A director said with a mocking tone.

"Manager Yao, of course it's not impossible for us to get 1 million US dollars, but you have to give a reason, right? Can you guarantee that this movie will pay back? Co-production, it sounds nice to say, but in fact, so far, as far as I know You know, the so-called co-produced films, it seems that none of them have been really successful, right?" said another director.

"First of all, there are three points. This script was bought from Lin Xiao at a high price. Secondly, the story of the script is different from the previous co-productions. This script can be said to have two protagonists, which can just achieve a balance between China and foreign countries. "

"Third point, although I can't guarantee it, I can issue a military order. If this film is messed up, I will just pack up and leave. I'm done talking, do you have any questions?" Yao Ding said He looked at the members of the board of directors present.

"I have some doubts about the price of this script. Although 2000 million Chinese dollars is high, it is not a big deal, but is this 10% box office share too high? Moreover, he is only a screenwriter, not a director. , or the leading role, I think we all need an explanation from you, Manager Yao."

"Is it high? Maybe the box office share is really high, but if it weren't for such a sky-high price, why do you think Lin Xiao gave such a script to us Tianhua?"

"Also, everyone may have only seen Lin Xiao's identity as a director and actor, but they have forgotten who the director of "The Iron Fist of Shame" was looking for? Who was the director of "My Sassy Girlfriend"? These people Is it really the key to the success of the movie? Obviously not, so why are these movies able to erupt astonishing box office appeal? The answer is obvious, that is Lin Xiao!"

"The high price seems to us that Tianhua is being taken advantage of, but it also guarantees that Lin Xiao will use all his strength to help us make this script, because he certainly doesn't want to be ruined just because of this film. Is there a sign of defeat?" Yao Ding said.

"Manager Yao, have you ever thought that since this script is so good and has such potential, why doesn't Lin Xiao do it himself? Instead, he wants to sell it to us Tianhua?"

"The answer is very simple. For the time being, the High Heaven Pavilion can't do well with such a film! Because the High Heaven Pavilion is rising rapidly, but in terms of connections and channels, the High Heaven Pavilion is still not capable. Strength is still difficult to do well. Another point, you think, Lin Xiao has already made a lot of money in China, and he doesn't need to go abroad so quickly. You know, the box office of his films has never been low more than 10 billion!"

In the end, Yao Ding convinced the board of directors, and the "Face Changing" project was officially put on the agenda.

As for the sky-high script fee of "Changing Face", it was also spread all over the Internet and the entire entertainment circle under Tianhua's deliberate publicity.

"Suddenly ill and rushed to the doctor, Tianhua 2+1 bought the script at a sky-high price, and the most expensive script in the history of Huaguo Film was born!"

"Tianhua people come with stupid money so fast, Lin Xiao's book is worth hundreds of millions!"

"The screenwriter's remuneration ceiling has been broken, and Lin Xiao's ability hidden behind countless halos has finally been unearthed!"

"It's not a defeat, Lin Xiao is a master screenwriter, and he deserves his name!"

"It's all about putting all your eggs in one basket, people are still stupid and have more money, Tianhua will not change his original intention, let's fight for a co-production again!"

"Tianhua fights to the death, whether Lin Xiao can turn the tide, let us wait and see!"
