Disaster Artist

Chapter 104: half sale half free

Qiyang Media expressed its willingness to invest 30 million to film "Unfriend 2", but as soon as Lu Qian opened his mouth, he asked for half of the filming copyright of the sequel?

Su Ziyi suddenly felt a little toothache.

Looking at Lu Qian's eyes again, he became cautious, and calmly adjusted his sitting posture, and the whole posture changed quietly.

"...But, A Qian, will they agree?" Su Ziyi felt that Qiyang Media should not be taking advantage of it.

Lu Qian pursed the corners of his mouth, "I can give them the second script for half sale and half gift."

"Unfriend 2: Dark Web", the script creation is not a problem for Lu Qian, but the same type and style of works, the second consecutive filming, in Lu Qian's view, it is really unnecessary and not challenging at all .

Maybe time has changed. In a few years, Lu Qian is willing to use the narrative method of the computer desktop to try other works. The subject matter is still quite rich. but not now.

"The script for the sequel?" Su Ziyi repeated, and then nodded—

Now Qiyang Media is lacking a suitable script. If Lu Qian also gave away the script for the sequel, then they might agree.

But wait!

"Half sale and half free?"

Not a gift? Su Ziyi discovered the key words in Lu Qian's words.

Lu Qian nodded as a matter of course, "Is it a lot of effort to create the script for the sequel? I'm not too demanding, 1.5 million is enough."

The market situation of screenwriters has always been low, and the average income is about 1 million to 1.5 million; relatively speaking, the original work is more complicated, but it is much simpler to adapt or revise the script, and the income is also good, and it can often be achieved in seven It fluctuates between 100,000 and 1 million.

Su Ziyi found out that Lu Qian was the one who really had the black heart. He was charged for the copyright of the adaptation and another for the script creation?

"You're going to take half of their production cost, so how do you get the crew to work?"

Su Ziyi is still an honest person.

Lu Qian smiled but said nothing.

Ji Xu laughed lightly and asked, "Do you believe it? If they really bought the copyright and bought the script, and then they dared to find a new director and a group of new actors to complete the shooting, the cost may be controlled at 5 million. It can be within, or even lower.”

Su Ziyi wanted to refute it, but thinking about it seriously, if it was Qiyang Media, they would really be able to do it.

What's more, "Unfriending" was filmed at a cost of 600,000 yuan. Perhaps in the opinion of Qiyang Media, the budget of 5 million yuan is still too much.

Thinking of this, Su Ziyi also burst out laughing, looking back and forth between Ji Xu and Lu Qian, and said helplessly.

"Fortunately, we are friends."

In the end, Ji Xu and Lu Qian didn't say anything, but Bai Cheng uttered a sentence.

"Otherwise they sold you, and you shouldn't understand what happened."

Su Ziyi: ...

Heartbroken.

But the problem is that it cannot be refuted.

So, Su Zi ignored Bai Cheng and looked at Lu Qian shyly, with a pitiful look in his eyes, "So that's it?"

"What?" Lu Qian was puzzled.

Su Ziyi was a little embarrassed, "I mean, that's it? You're not going to shoot the sequel, and then you're not going to start work any time soon?"

That's the point.

Su Ziyi still misses the time when the crew was busy day and night.

Although when I was working, I was always scolding because of Lu Qian's strict requirements. Everyday life in the crew was worse than death, but after I really relaxed, I couldn't help but miss those hours of devotion. In operation, to the fullest of their abilities.

and.

After "Unfriending" detonated the market, I originally thought that job opportunities would immediately swarm, and even dazzled, but the reality is cruel.

People are talking about Lu Qian and all aspects of the movie, but only Xia Yingjia and Lu Qian are the ones who really opened up the situation.

Xia Yingjia is the heroine, and she has really entered the public eye with "unfriending", and the exposure rate is also the highest. Not only did she find an agent, but she also began to receive invitations for works one after another.

However, that's all.

The other actors in the movie had exposure, but they failed to become an instant hit. It was Lu Qian, the director, who really caught the public's attention with the movie. The label of "tragic hero" and the halo of "Tomson has something to say", Let Lu Qian always be in the center of the spotlight, and the heat will remain high.

Not to mention Su Ziyi.

The gaffer, in the film industry, is still a "must" but never valued existence, just like a screw.

Su Ziyi did not become popular, and there were even very few job offers.

At this time, Su Ziyi really realized that compared to his actual ability, it seems that the best way to find a job is to network.

A little lost, a little angry, but unable to change the reality.

It is precisely because of this that Su Ziyi is more grateful to Lu Qian, not only because of the job opportunity, but also because of Lu Qian's attention to the lighting engineer.

The only thing Su Ziyi can think of is that he needs to prove himself through more works, and also prove the importance of lighting to the film, and then slowly change the situation of the entire industry, not only for himself, but also for the lighting. The profession of teacher creates more opportunities.

Therefore, Su Ziyi hopes that Lu Qian can take over "Unfriend 2", not necessarily without a bit of selfishness~www.novelmt.com~ However, compared to the sequel itself, Su Ziyi hopes that Lu Qian can start work on a new project. Any project, as long as Lu Qian is the director.

Lu Qian looked at Su Ziyi, who was a little awkward, with a smile in his eyes, but he deliberately made a joke.

"Now that the box office dividends have been received one after another, we can already retire early, and there is no need to work. Why, are you still going to continue to work?"

Hearing Lu Qian's words, Su Zi suddenly became anxious.

"Income is income, but what about dreams? A Qian, didn't you say that you want to make more excellent movies? Didn't you say that you like to see your work on the big screen? You didn't say that you like to see the audience happy because of the movie. Do you look angry?"

"Have you forgotten everything?"

"Life shouldn't only be about being miserable."

Crackling, Su Ziyi said a lot of words, and then noticed that Lu Qian's expression was half-smiling, and it felt... It seemed a bit strange.

Then Bai Cheng's long-tailed shout came from his ears, "Ayi... Be careful, be careful..."

Su Ziyi: ...

Seeing that Su Ziyi's cheeks were about to explode, Lu Qian quickly restrained his smile - the rabbit was biting in a hurry, not to mention that Su Ziyi was not a little white rabbit.

"Actually, more than a month ago, I started preparing for a new project. I have been preparing and thinking, trying to find a suitable project."

"I called you here today because the script has come out, and the storyboard script has come out. I think it's time to discuss it."

"Let's see if you are interested, say goodbye to your retirement, and make another movie with me?"
